beyond announcing the selection of
the committee which was to work ON
this line this summer snd report at
the next stated meeting here in Sep
TENDER, no formal statement ofxwhat
was done was made, but it is known
that subcommittee representing wide
ly diversified industries were appoint
ed to go to work systematically all
over this country to unionize employ
ers; that special steps are to be taken
to engage eminent legal counsel in the
several states to protect the manufac-
turers against boycotts, injunctions
and the activity OF walking delegates,
while at the same time none but cor
dali good will was expressed for the la

The president of the association was
authorized to select additional legal
counsel, and the general officers were
instructed to report plan of legal de-
tense against picketing, boycotting
and the obtaining of injunctions, such

RHEUMATISM


Rheumatism does not come and go with winter
time always; In fact some suffer more during the
Spring and Summer than at any other season. When
the blood is charged with Uric Acid Alka and othcg
irritating poisons, then the system is in the right
condition for Rheumatism to develop, and an attack
IS liable to come at any time, Winter or Summer.
Rheumatism, because 1t attacks different parts Of
the body, and is sudden or slow in its action Is given
various names such as acute and chronic muscular
arcular, nfammatory mercural and sciatic but it q
the same old acid blood that car.on ali co., -

TREATY COMMENDED
TO CUBAN SENATE.
Report of the Committee on Foreign
Relations.

Havana. Feb. 2O.-The Committee on
Foreign Relations this afternoon sub
mitted to the Senate its report recon-
mending the ratification of the reci-
procity treaty with the United States
without amendment.
The Senate then adjourned until
Monday The report urges ratification,
because. 1t says. that while Cubans
might desire more favorable relations
with the United States, the treaty as a
whole unquestionably favors the in
terests of Cuba. The report adds that
while it would be a great advantage
if sugar and tobacco received greater
reductions in the United States mar
llet, the economic conditions prevailing
in the United States preclude better
terms for these products.
The committee. in tits report, holds
that while it has some Objectionable
features, the treaty Should be regard
ed as a whole the duty of the Senate
being not to modify, but to accept or
reject. Cuba, being an agricultural
country, is in particularly good posi-
ton to sustain profitable commercial
relations with all countries but con-
tlnueS the report, the pOlltlcal Situa-
ton determines commercial policies
and the protective systems adopted by
most civilized nations are modified by
reciprocity treaties. / Cuban products
are limited chiefly ia two, and the
markets for these are not assured and
not opened up in the measure that
Cuba needs. This condition can be
overcome only by giving advantages
to the market which is her best Gus
toner.
The committee, in conclusion, urges
the ratification because the treaty de-
fines the commercial relations of the
United States and Cuba, clears the
commercial horizon of Cuba's future
and gives a sure basis for her COM
mercial policy.
No special opposition to the treaty
is anticipated in the Senate.

Snim six or seven letters before she

of the letter written by Head to Mrs.
Duncan. The original, he said, was
destroyed by Mrs. Duncan in his pres
ence. Head was shown the copy and
admitted that he had written a letter
something like the copy. The court

talk to me last night. Hope you had
nice time at the club. Yours,

The defense then rested, and the
case was given to the jury which
was given the privilege of turning in
a sealed verdict if they could agree on
