SEAMEN ARE NEEDED
IN THE GROWING NAVY
international Union Considers the
Present Personnel of the Mer-
chant Marine,

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 29.-The COM
mittee on resolutions of the convention
of the international Seamen's Union Of
America reported to-day. The report
was adopted. The bill introduced in the
last Congress to amend the laws relating
to American seamen and to improve the
personnel of the merchant marine was
indorsed and its reintroduction urged
The report of the committee calls atten-
tion to the undermanning of all classes
Of vessels. The employment of Asiatics
as sailors is condemned. Attention is
called to the loss of the Rio Janeiro and
the conduct of the Chinese crew on that
vessel when she was wrecked near San
Francisco.
I'VE would insist" the report continued,
that If our country is to be able to use
it's growing navy seamen must be pro-
vided and preferably native seamen. I'm
less the American boy can be induced to
seek the sea for a livelihood there will
be no field from which the navy can be
recruited in time of need. 1t is idle and
dangerous to depend upon foreigners to
defend at all times the honor of the flag
under which they serve as mercenarfes ,
Congress Is petitioned for an increased
appropriation for the marine hospital SER

AROUSE HUSBAND
Lookout Lynching Case
May Result in a
Tragedy.
Citizen Resents Mention Of
His Wife as a "She Detec-
tive"
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

AETURAS, Nov. 29.-For a time to-day
the prospect for a ''gun play growing
out of the Lookout lynching case, ap-
peared very rosy. During his examina-
tion of venireman this afternoon At
torney Raker, for the defense, asked if
the prospective juror were acquainted
with the "she detective" He referred to
Mrs. Summers, who is understood to
have given testimony against the lynch
ers before the Grand Jury. Raker was
promptly called to order by the court.
After the adjournment for the day Mrs.
Summers and her husband called upon
the lawyer for retraction. For few
minutes the situation looked decidedly in
teresung, but friends interfered and pre-
vented clash between the two men.
However, the feeling between them is
very bitter and there may yet be trouble.
Only one talesman was examined dur
ing the entire morning session of the
court. Henry LorentZ, replying to ques-
ton by the prosecution, said that he did
not regard with favor an indictment by
the prosecution, and the challenge was
denied by the court. LorenZ later said
that he would not consider the indict-
ment at all. Lorenz's brother some time
ago married a daughter of Calvin Hall,
one of the men hanged at Lookout, and
Lorenz after that time entertained no
friendly feeling toward the Halls. He
said that he was a personal friend of all
the defendants, but declared this would
have no effect upon his verdict. Under
further statements by Lorenz that he
would not under any circumstances con-
vict on circumstantial evidence, he was
excused.
During the afternoon session three
talesmen were examined. Scott H. Clas-
pin was passed. A L. Page of Cedar
vile was next examined He was asked
by the prosecution If he would be influ-
enced in any way by the fact that at
taches of the Attorney Generals office
were assisting the District Attorney of
this county in prosecuting the case. He
replied that he believed that he would
and, further, that he was opposed to the
prosecution of the case at all. Mr.. Post,
for the prosecution, then asked him if it
was not a fact that he believed that when
that mob hanged those five men at Look
out ii did a good job. Page replied that
he thought they did not do a bad one.
Page was excused.
The examination of H. G. Holm was
not completed when court adjourned un-
'til morning. Four taleSmen have now
been passed

ADVERTISEMENTS
CAUSE OF DEAFNESS.
The Most Common Cause Only Re-
Gently Discovered,


It has been stated on good medical au-
thority that nine-tenths of cases of deaf
ness are caused from catarrh or from sore
throat trouble.
The little tube which leads to the ear
from the throat is lined with a sort of vel
vety structure called mucous membrane.
This membrane is simply a continuation
of the mucous membrane lining of the
throat. When disease of any sort attacks
the mucous membrane of the throat II is
very liable to extend into the Eustacbian n
tube and up into the ear
The history. of nearly all cases of deaf
ness is like this; q cold is contracted and
neglected, other colds are taken tbe
throat becomes sore and inflamed. which
is aggravated by particles of dust and
germs from the air. This condition ca1seS
the disease to spread into the tube thaf
leads to the ear.
It seems a little far fetched to saw that
most cases OF deafness are caused from
catarrh but ii is certainly true. and any
one who has had q severe Catarrhal cold
must have noticed how the hearing wa
affected while the cold lasted.
With catarrh sufferers this Impairment
Of hearing becomes chronic and grows
worse the longer the catarrh is neglected
You can cure catarrh and deafness bv
fhe regular use of an excellent new nrena
ration called Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
composed Of antiseptie remedies. which = ~
both on the mucous membranes but prin-
cipally and most effectually on the blood.
eliminating the catarrhal poison from the
system.
People whose hearing is defective NAV
think Ii a little remarkable that q sir1pie
and harmless tablet would very often re-
move all traces of deafness, but when II
Is remembered that catarrh causes the
Ceaf fness and that the catarrh is easily
cured by the regular use of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets there is no mystery about It
If you are subject to nasal catarrh OF
cstarrh of throat, bronchial tubes or ca
tarrh Of stomach and liver. the safest and
most effective treatment is the new ca
farrh specific, Stuart's Catarrhs Tablets,
sold by all druggists at 50 cents for full

CREDITORS HAIt
MECHAM' s LUCK
Texas Oil Fields Yield
Riches to Bankrupt
Spectator.
Special ptgpatch to The can.

TACOMA. Nov. 29.-George B. Mecham,
formerly one of the largest mining oper-
ators and townsite spectators in this
State, has pleased a large number of cred
itors and friends by sending money to
Spokane and Nelson for the payment of
debts contracted by him during the
boom" times some years ago. News
comes from New York that in the past
few months Mecham has cleared more
than $3.50 900 in oil speculations. He hur-
ried to Beaumont when oil was struck in
Texas and has since been making money
rapidly. Going to New York and Mon
treal he promoted several oil concerns
and seems destined to become a million
aire.
Mecham has the reputation of being a
money maker and plays for big stakes,
having already made and lost three for
tunes. Six years ago, while operating on
the Colorado Springs stock exchange, his
profits for several months exceeded $780,
600. One of his luxuries was a private
wire between Chicago and Colorado
Springs for which he paid $2200 yearly.
Three days after President Cleveland 8
famous Venezuelan message he was prac-
tically "broke.'
When the southern half of the Colvine
Indian reservation was opened Mecham
became interested in mines in that To-
cality. He bonded the best claims obtaina-
BILE, organized syndicate in Montreal
and plated the town of Nelson, in the
heart of rich agricultural and mining
section. At a critical juncture his Mon
treal hackers withdrew. Mecham was
left in the air, owing his creditors large
sums. Soon afterward he went East and
little was heard of him until news came
of the fortune he made in oil speculation.
Present indications are that every man
whom he owed will be paid in full with
interest.
