Saves a Former Member of
the Indiana Legislature.
This is the Season to Use
the Great Medicine if
You Would Danish the
Seeds of Disease from
the System.

On every hand men and women who at
this Season should be active. hale and strong,
losing flesh and weight, looking pale and languId.
We hear them complain of weakness pain in the
chest, backache and sideache. Their friends note
with alarm the pale cheeks and sunken eyes; the
color Of the skin gives evidence Of blood impure
ties.
All reader, these are all indications that the
deadly dregs Of grippe have permeated the whole
system, distributing pOisons and impurities in
blood and tissues.
Act at once with wisdom and decision; YOU can
not afford to lose precious time experimenting with
medicines that have reputation, that have no
positive victories TO their credit.
Heaven help you to the life saver that
rescued and saved Mr. Stephenson. While in a
perilOus condition Of health, Providence truly di-
rected Mr. Stephenson to make use of Paine s
Celery Compound. The first bottle produced a
marvellous and happy effect his life blood was
being freshened and enriched; his appetite i'm
proved; strength taking the place Of weak
ness; and the ruddy tinge Of health was apparent
in the once pale face. Mr.. d. T. Stephenson of

o'clock, and went to the river front to
play Shortly after reaching the waters
edse they entered small craft and started
TO cross the stream to Anacostia. When
the boat reached the channel two of the
boys were standing, doing their best TO
get the craft to the shoal water on the
AnacOStia side. 1t was leaking, and the
boys were making an effort to keep their
feet dry, when the small craft suddenly
overturned and the three boys We're thrown
overheard into the cold water
Screams uttered by the BOYS were heard
by those on the shore, and colored man
named Smith, whose wife assisted him,
launched a rowbOat and padded out to the
boys. Lynch was able TO swim, and he as
sisted Glascoe in keeping from under the
surface of the water. Steele was unable
to swim, and he failed to get hold of the
boat and went down before Smith could
reach the scene of the accident.
Glascoe and Lynch We're pulled into the
boat. The former grabbed his rescuer by
the throat and only released his hold when
he fell to the bottom of the boat numb
and almost unconscious. Smiths wife ran
across the bridge in search of physicians
to be prepared in case their services should
be necessary. Drs. Pyles and Watson re-
sponded, and they reached the shore about
the time the colored man arrived with
the boys In the boat.
The medical men found the boys in
serious condition. but they We're soon par
TALLY restored and were sent to their homes

body of Steele, but without success.
In a short time the banks of the river
were lined with men, women and children,
who were watching the searchers for the
body of Steele. A number of people par
ticipated in the search, among them Elmer
E. Howard. an uncle of the victim, who
lives at 1884 18th street southeast. Shortly
after dark his efforts We're rewarded, and
the body of the lad was taken ashore The
dead wagon was sent for and when the

it was clear that the pending amendment
needed no constitutional amendment to
carry out its provisions. Complete federal
control was thing to be sought later
This, them is simply the entrance of the
camers nose" remarked Colonel Hepburn.
In answer to a question as to what
losses by fraud amounted to in this coun-
try, the witness replied that 100000 was
a conservative estimate of the amounts COL
lected by fraud on insurance in this coun-
try every year.
Major Farquhar was the next witness
He prefaced his remarks by stating that he
represented the late industrial commits
sion'' by resolution. The pending bill, he
said, was largely the outgrowth of the work
of that commission for the last three years
During that time all of the testimony taken
by the commission had emphasized the inn
portance and necessity of a department of
commerce Il know Of no legislation which
Congress can enact so needed, and which
would be SO helpful to the business of this
country, as department Of commerce" he
declared emphatically.

AGAINST INNOVATIONS
DR.. RICHARDSON CRITICISES
CHANGES IN METHoDIsM.
Urges Revival of Interest in Glass
Meetings-Epworth League
Over Jealous.


Special Dispatch tc The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, April 3.-Rev DR.. c..
Herbert Richardson, the presiding elder of
the Baltimore district created something
of a sensation at yesterdays session of the
Baltimore conference, Methodist Episcopal
Church. While commencing the work Of
the Epworth League, when confined within
proper bounds, he said: But we dread the
disposition to enlist it as an organization
in the general work of the church. espe-
cially of financial character, and to appeal
to it for such support in other than local
schemes even, and that sometimes not
through the pastor and quarterly confer
ence" OF the decline of the class meet
ing he said: THE class in some charges is
improving, in others retrogradng and in
others is in Statu quo Methodism can
but regret the decline in an institution of
such intimate historic association and so
inwrought into it's spiritual bone and fiber
If we are to continue as church empha-
sizing experimental godlineSS and bearing
the testimony of Jesus we must set our
selves to the revival, establishment and
extension of the class and class meeting"
DIR. Richardson believes the salaries of
preachers ought to be increased. He said:
We have earnestly striven to accomplish
in certain charges an advance in the
amount of ministerial support. Salaries are
very low in much of the work, and even
in stronger charges are below those given
in other denominations or the ability Of
congregations to pay. While not putting
the claim of the ministry on purely COM
mercial basis, we urge the better support
needed by increased cost of living and the
large demands of the day upon the min
lister"
Referring to the exclusion of Rev. DR..
Nice from the church at Lansdowne, he
said: MISUNDERSTANDING and legal COM
plications at Lansdowne have resulted in
the exclusion of the pastor, Rev. Henry
Nice, and the society at that place from
the edifice for several weeks. We ask the
appointment of committee to advise as to
the best course to be pursued In the mat

JUDGMENTS REVERSED
COURT OF APPEALS HANDS DOWN
TWO OPINIONS. =
Both Relate to Suits Growing Out of
Transactions of Gilbert
B. Towles.

| In the case of John Ofenstein, appellant,
| against Charles c. Bryan, Zenas C. Robbins
| and Henry O. Towles, the Court of Appeals
| today handed down an opinion, written by
Mr. Justice Shepard, reversing the judg-
ment of the lower court, and remanding
the cause, with direction to grant a new
trial.
The suit was begun by Ofenstein as in
dorser and holder for value, against Bryan,
Gilbert B. Towles Henry o. Towles and
Robbins upon a promissory note for 81 600.
The note bears the Endorsements of Rob-
bins, Henry o. Towles and G. b. Towles
1t is one of a number of notes alleged to
have been negotiated, after material alter
ations by Gilbert B. Towles, whose convic-
ton under an indictment for the forgery of
one of them, has recently been affirmed.
The court below upon motion of the de-
PENDANTS, instructed the jury to find YER
dict for the defendants, Bryan and Rob-
bins, because the plaintiff had not intro
duced proof sufficient to sustain the burden
of proof cast upon him. AS to Henry o.
Towles, the jury returned a verdict in his
favor.
The judgment is reversed by the Court
of Appeals on the ground that the court
below erred in not submitting the ques-
ton of execution, and of alteration after
execution to the jury, with an appropriate
charge on the burden of proof throughout.
olInllaT AcI1Ou IN AnOLner case.
In an opinion, also written by Mr.. JUS
tice Shepard the Court of Appeals today
reversed the judgment of the court below
in the case of the National Capital Bank
OF Washington, appellant, against Charles
G. Bryan, Zenas c. Robbins and Henry o.
Towles, and remanded the cause for new
trlal Inc suit was upon a note executed
by Gilbert B. Towles and Charles c.. Bryan
to the order of Zenas c. Robbins and in
dorsed by him and Henry o. Towles it
was Tor $500, the appellant being the holder
for value.
In this case the court below excluded the
notes on objection of the defendants and
on their motion directed the jury to find
a verdict for each and all of them No
evidence was introduced on behalf of the
defendants. The Court of Appeals holds
that the case should have been submitted
to the jury; that of all the defendants
generally and that of Henry o. Towles
specially.

GLORY OF THE NATION.
Cannon's Dark Age Ideas on Capital
Building.

From the New York Evening Post.
Representative Cannon's vivacities on the
sundry civil appropriations for the i'm
provement OF Washington have. the Gu-
thentic flavor of democratic simplicity. He
is utterly opposed to the scheme of the
Senate park commission, because he dis
believes in paying out public money for
mere characterization. Millions for post Of
fees and pensions, but not a cent for parks
and drives, is, in effect, his cry. This feel
ing that a national capital does very well
in its natural unadorned condition
breathes antique austerity. Such a
theory did very well when green fields
pressed up to the capital, and the few other
public buildings diversified kind OF shanty
town, just as churches rise high above
the roofs of European cities. This may
have been the golden age Of the city OF
Washington. Apparently Mr.. Cannon
thinks IL was. Fortunately his more sophis-
ticated colleagues will take the view that
a beautifully planned and adorned ma
tional city is part of the glory Of a nation,
and while Mr.. Cannon longs for a Jeffer-
sonian conditions of green fields. cabins and

AN INSURANCE BUREAU
ONE ASKED FOR THE DEPART
MENT OF COMMERCE.
Mr.. Max Cohen Tells of the Necessity
of Federal Supervision
of Insurance.

| An amendment which authorizes the crea-
| ton Of federal insurance board to collect
| and publish insurance statistics ad-
| junct to the department Of commerce was
| the text of Mr.. Max Cohen, in continuing
| his testimony before the House committee
| on commerce today. At the conclusion OF
| the insurance discussion Major Farquhar
| presented an argument in favor of the en-
| tire bill, in carrying out a resolution Of the
| late Industrial commission.
For an Insurance Bureau
The international character of the insur-
| ance business was called attention to by
| Mr.. Cohen. He said American companies
| had gone into foreign countries, as well as
Cuba and the Philippines. This had come
about by the popularity Of American fnsur-
| ance methods. The extension had generally
| been made upon the request Of foreigners.
| The liberality Of our policies and the
| prompt payment of losses were the main
reasons.
| This had brought about feeling of envy
| among the foreign companies, and in some
| instances combinations had been formed to
| squeeze out the Yankee" companies, which
, had resulted in the expulsion of some of
our companies from foreign fields. For
this reason federaIrecognition of the busi-
| ness was getting to be almost necessity.
AS an excuse for these eXpulsions Euro
pean insurance boards had said. You give
TINS business no Omclal recognition In your
| own country, and why should we counte-
nance your methods"
Would a federal insurance bureau re-
suit in placing before the public reliable in
| formation regarding the standing Of Amer
lean insurance companies?' asked Chair
man Hepburn. The answer was that it
would accomplish this result.
| Ought this bureau to have power to
proceed against undesirable companies-a
power exercised in. a similar manner as the
post Office promulgates fraud orders?"
| THAT would be the ideal PLAN
Constitutional Question.
In view Of the fact that the post Office de-
| rived its powers to proceed against frauds
| from the Constitution. Mr.. Hepburn raised
| the question of constitutional power to reg
ulate insurance business by federal author
| ity. The Supreme Court had held that in
| surance was not interstate commerce.
The witness maintained that the learned
| justice who had rendered that opinion had
/ excepted life insurance, and that modern
interpreters Of the Constitution maintained
| that the court would not have ruled that
| Insurance was not commerce II Congress
| had previously legislated on the subject.
and he also held that legislation at this
| time would make 1t commerce, notwith-
! standing that decision. However, he said,
