CIVILIANS IN WAR.
Committee Reported to the Peace Con-
ference Articles Defining Their Treat
ment by Armies.

THE HAGUE, June 21.-The Brussels
conference subcommittee of the inter
national peace commission convened,
Prof. De Martens of the Russian dele
CATION presiding The drafting com.
mittee's report was amended i'll regard
to awarding greater protection to neu-
trail states; defining the rights of civil
populations to organize for resistance
and the rights of armies as toward
armed civilians. The clauses of the re-
port were adopted.
Inc report of the subcommittee will
be presented to the conference, and it is
believed that nearly all the powers will
adopt the new articles as Il basis of in
structiOns for armies when entering the
field.
The Geneva convention committee
held Il plenary session to consider the
report of its subcommittee. Captain
Mahan of the American delegation
again drew attention to the omission of
an article defining the exact status of
wounded and smpwrecked men falling
into the sea during a battle and picked
up by neutrdls or by hospital ships. He
also proposed three additional articles,
which were referred to the drafting
committee.
The plenary conference met to adopt
these additional articles and appointed
u committee to draw up general act
embcdying the report of the Geneva
convention section. This is the first
definite result of the convention.

one-tenth of that number. The recent
Incorporation of the company in New
Jersey with "a capital of Sic, 200, 900 was
the first step in the abandonment of

hereafter be only branch Office like
those maintained in several cities.
1t was suggested that the action of
the company was prompted by desire
to avoid further litigation such as was
instituted by Attorney General Mon
nett. but the officer who gave the infor-
nation denied tnat such was the case.
Virgil P. Kline, the attorney of the
company, also said there was no desire
60 escape litigation, and he secuted the
idea that Attorney General Monnett
had driven the company from the state.

ENDANGERED THE TEXAS.
Evidence Alleging That Schley Did SO
and Expressed Lack of
Concern.

| WASHINGTON, June 2l.-Following
the statement of Lieutenant Commander
Hodgson respecting the events that oc-
Cured on the bridge of the Brooklyn,
July 8. tae navy department made pub
| lie report from Captain Chadwick of
| lis examination of Lieutenant Com
nander Heilner. which said in part:
Lieutenant Commander Heilner stated
a follows:
AT one of the early sessions of the
! board on ships positions during the ac-
ton Of July ), strongly expressed my
doubt us 10 the BrOoklyn's position be-
fore making the loop, Us laid down by
Mr. Hodgson; several other navigators,
Mr. Comfy and Mr.. Schuetz. know
sides with me. Mr.. Hodgson and on
this particular occasion walked up and
down the port side of the cabin of the
Brooklyn. i'll which the board was sit
ting. 1t is my impression that Mr..
hodgson claimed that the Brooklyn was
I,lCO yards from the leading Spanish
ships when the turn was made.
.'The board, think, put it later at
400 yards Mr. Hodgson told me that
he felt certain they were closer than
400 yards, and that their stadimeter
gave $40 yards. He said: We were SO
| close that Schiey gave the order "hard
port" 1 SAID to him, you mean
starboard, do you not!' The com.
mander said: No 1 mean port; we are
close enough to them now Mr.. HOdg-
son then said he called attention 60 the
position of the Texas and told the COM
l,a ,,rlf fhara 6a1t nf
running her down. The commodore
out for herself This conversation was
repeated to me on several occasions.
Everything | say now was contained d
i'll Mir. Hodgson's statement. The words
may have been a little different. He
may have said don't you mean star
board, commodore, instead of the first
phraseology; he certainly said we are
near enough to them now, and also
damn the Texas, let her look out for
herself.
He repeated this conversation to ME
at least three times during the sessions
OF the toard, because every time dis
cussion arose | recuITed to the position
given by him. which | did not think
correct. placed no dependence on any
observation by stadimeter or sextant
during gun fire.
The navy department. gave out the
following correction i'll Captain Chad
wick's letter anent the Hodgson state
ment:
1.-The typewriter copy OF statement
of Captain Chadwick and Lieutenant
Commander Hodgson, given to the press
| yesterday (Monday), was i'll error i'll the
following points:
"Atout one-thlrd from the beginning,
where published statement reads: in
tended him to understand there was
danger of running into the Texas, he
said all right, or words to that effect.
l cannot repeat verbatim. 1t should
have read: L intended him to under
stand there was danger of running intq
the Texas. He said: All right; the
Texas must look out for that, or words
to that effect. l cannot repeat YER

THE OLD WAY.
OF Treating Dyspepsia and Indiges'
tion by Dieting Dangerous
and Useless One.

We say the old way, but really ii
is very common one at the present
time and many dyspeptics and phys
icians as well consider the first step
to take in attempting to cure indi-
gestion is to diet. either by selecting
certain foods and rejecting others or
to greatly diminish the quantity usu-
ally taken. in other words the star
walton plan is supposed by many to
be the first essential.
The almost certain failure of the
starvation cure has been proven
time and again, but still the moment
dyspepsia makes its appearance a
course of dieting is at once advised.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is
foolish and unscientific to recon-
mend dieting TO a man suffering from
dyspepsia, because Indigestion itself
staryes every organ, every nerve and
every fiber in the body.
What the dyspeptic wants is abun-
dant nutrition, which means plenty
of good, 0holesome well cooked food,
and something TO assist the weak
stomachsto digest it. This is exact
ly the purpose for which Stuart S
Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted and
this is the method by which they
cure the worst cases of dyspepsia. in
other words the patient eats plenty
of wholesome food and Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets digests it for him. In
this way the system is nOurished and
the overworked stomach rested, be-
cause the tablets will digest the food
whether the stomach works or not.
One of these tablets will digest 1900
grains of meat or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that
Stuart's Tablets is the purest and
safest remedy for stomach troubles
and every trial makes one more friend
for this excellent preparation. Sold
at 30 cents for full sized package at
all drug stores.

And still the wonderful work of
healing afflicted humanity goes
bravely on. Day after day crowds
of the most prominent and refined
ladies and gentlemen of Akron and
vicinity may be seen in the parlors
OF the Boy Phenomenon, at the
Buchtel hotel, patiently waiting
their turn for consultation with the
Phenomenon. Many are just COM
mencing treatment, who, for years
have considered their affections
hopeless and incurable. but who
We're led to take this treatment after
personally witnessing the many phe-
nomenal cures performed upon the
public stage and then investigating
their condition days afterward, for
the purpose of satisfying themselves
as to the permanency of cure by
animal magnetism; while others
may be seen emerging from the
treatment rooms. their smiling faces
telling their own happy story, some
bidding the doctor goodbye with
tears of joy in their eyes, a God
bless you, DOCTOR" and an express
sion of praise and gratitude suffusing
their joyful countenances that is
most pathetic in the extreme.
Another of the many remarkable
cures accomplished by the Boy Phe-
nomenOn since his arrival here is
that of well-known lady, Mrs. An
ME Marsden of 2l0 Park ST., who has
lived here many years. She is'high-
ly respected for her charity and in
tegrity, and what she says can he
depended upon as the truth. Her
statement needs no explanation.
To the Afflicted:
am pleased to say publicly what
this voting man has done for me. For
Is long years l have been constant
sufferer from rheumatism of my en-
tire body. Was unable to sleep be-
cause of the pain. The agony was
almost unbearable. My hand and
arm was almost useless, could
not raise my arm, or dress
my hair. Although my
friends made fun of me and nearly
persuaded me not to be treated, de-
cided, as had tried everything else,
to make one more attempt to be
cured, and 1 praise God that | did
nOf allow my friends to dissuade me,
for l have not had Il pain since he
put his hands on me, and L can use
my arms as well as ever. feel bet
ter than | have i'll years.
MRS. ANNE MARsDEN.
Those who desire the services of
this wonderfully gifted young man
should lose no time in securing an
appointment, as his time is being
rapidly filled. His office hours at
thae4Iotel Buchtel are from 10 ain.
to pm. daily, except Sunday.
All cases are fully examined before
being taken, and if durable a price
will be named for treatment. If in
curable the case will not be accepted
under any conditions.
