TILLMAN DENOUNCED
THE MONOPOLIES

washington, Jan. 14.-For an hour
ard a half to-day Senator Tillman of
south Carolina occupied the attention
of the Senate in a characteristic
sneech, in which he denounced trusts
and monopolies and severely criticised
the Attorney General.
Senator Tillman said that Senator
,ldrich. since the Vest resolution re-
rarding the removal of the coal duty
came I'D. had become more strenuous
ard had exhibited more feeling and
aarnestness than he thought him capa-
BILE of.
The energy of the venerable and
brilliant senator from Missouri, Sena-
Tor Tillman said, had put a spur to
the tagging horses in the House of
representatives and those in the Sen
o+A who have been cold-bloodedly con-
+eynnlating the condition of affairs for
q month. His only wonder, he said,
was that in these trying times of
d.atb and distress mobs are not taxi
~ q stems to show monopolists that in
The last resort men will neither starve
,ior freeze to death, but will throttle
.La law if necessary, and take it into
their own hands and seize supplies.
Senator Tillman criticised those who
.Iair9ad that there was not now sutfi-
oient authority to remedy the evils
S,.bicb exist, and said we may load
down our statute books with laws, but
The Savannah morning news., 1903-01-15

unless the sworn officers of the law
shall discharge their duties fearlessly
and honestly every effort TO protect the
people will fail because of their de-
reelection.
Efforts have been made said
Senator Tillman, proof has been filed.
pleadings have been had, petitions TO
the Attorney General filed, warning and
begging him to protect the people
against the impending danger, but he
has sat quietly in his office and done
nothing. Rich and poor alike are freez-
ing because of the fact that a monop-
oily does exist, because the lawyers
have failed to interpret the law in the
interest of the people"
Senator Tillman criticised the coal
strike commissioners and said they
were taking irrelevant and unneces-
sary testimony. when, if they wanted
to, they could find out about the COM
blnatlon and report to Congress that
such a monopoly exists.
Senator Tillman criticised a decision
py Judge Taft, involving a case under
the interstate commerce law, and said
that it was the same Judge who would
not leave the onerous and odious duties
70 which he was now engaged in the
philippines for seat on the Supreme
Court bench.
At 2 O'Clock the statehood bill was
taken up and Senator Tillman gave
notice he would continue his remarks
tomorrow.
Senator McCumber addressed the
senate in favor of granting statehood
10 Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico.
The Senate adjourned until to-mor-
row.

AUSTIN RICE STAYED
SEVENTEEN ROUNDS
Then the Decision Went to Young
COrbett.

Then the Decision Went to Young
COrbett.
Hot Springs, Ark, Jan. 14.-Young
Corbett, the featherweight champion,
was given the decision over Austin
Rice of New London, Conn.,, in the
eighteenth round of what was to have
been a twenty-round contest
The fight was not to a finish, Rice
staying the full seventeen rounds. Just
before the end of this round Corbett
landed swift left swing, glancing to
the stomach, and as a result Rice was
taken sick. On the calling of time at
the beginning of the eighteenth round,
Battling" Nelson, Rices second, threw
a towel into the ring and Corbett was
given the decision.
AS a whole, the fight was a disap-
pointment. 1t had been freely pre-
dicted that Rice would not stay ten
rounds, and most of the betting was
done on this basis. The feature of the
contest was Rice's footwork. But for
his success in lodging Corbetts vicious
lunges, he would have gone down and
out early in the game.
Nearly every round consisted of
rushes and aggressive fighting by Cor
bett and feinting and lodging by Rice.
Once the champion went to the floor,
his foot slipping as he lodged a lunge
from Rice.
Rice landed almost as many blows
as did the champion, but they lacked
force and seemed to do but slight dam
age.

LOST SIGHT OF


A Most Important Aid to Education.
An important point often overlooked
by parents in bringing up children is
the use of proper food as an aid to
education.
Children make wonderful progress
when scientifically fed.
A little woman in East Brentwood,
N. H., says of her girlhood days: II
was never very rugged, and cold
iuncshes and hearty evening meals
and improper food soon began to
work serious havoc.
Then came a period of self board
ing while away at college, and it is
now easy to see where, in the haste
to acquire knowledge the tr6e knowl-
edge of proper and nourishing food
was neglected. The result, it may be
imagined, was Indigestion, dyspepsia,
and constipation. Then followed a
weary time of dieting and, one after
another, physicians were consulted.
till hope of permanent cure was aban-
doned. Then, two years after leaving
school, 1 entered new home as
bride and having grown wiser through
experience, l resolved to use food in
accordance with hygenic principles.
This was also necessary as / could
not eat anything at all rich.

obtain. l noticed an immediate inn
provement ip my health, my indiges-
ton became less marked and even
tually left me for good.

and can eat, without causing the
slightest distress, the richest kind of
food as we'll as anyone, the dyspepsia

This may not interest others, but
Il is of great interest to US. for it is

WILL NOT RECOGNIZE
MINERS UNION.
Erie Company Finds This Demand
Hard 10 Take,


Philadelphia, Jan. 14.-Recognition
Of the union, which the anthracite coal
operators maintain is not an issue be-
fore the Coal Strike Commission, was
the principal demand attacked by the
Erie Company to-day in its contest
against the claims of the United Mine
Workers of America.
General superintendent w. A. May
of the Hillside Coal and Iron Company,
and the Pennsylvania Coal Company,
which are controlled by the Erie, was
on the witness stand for a long time
to-day, and gave testimony tending to
show that since the advent of the
union into the anthracite regions the
workmen were less efficient, that a
lack of discipline has resulted, that it
interfeFed with authority and limited
the earning capacity of the employees.
Other witnesses were called who cor
roborated much of Superintendent
Mays testimony
The witness did not think that the
temporary advance given the men two
years ago was deserved, but he has
since changed his mind. He did not
think the advance asked for was rea-
sonable, and gave a non-committal an
sWer when asked if he might change
his mind again two years hence.
In answer to questions put by Mr..
barrow, Superintendent May said he
know John Mitchell personally, but
would object to meeting him as the
agent of the men in the employ of
the Erie Company, because it would
bring in an outside element which
had no direct interest in the business.
He was asked if, in case one of his
own employees gave up cutting coal
for the purpose of looking after the
interests of the company's 5000 men,
he would meet him for the purpose
of settling differences, and he replied
that he was not prepared to answer
the question. Subsequently he said the
company and the men could arrive at
an understanding without the assist
ance of an agent.
Commissioner Clark asked the wit
ness if, in case the two parties failed
to agree, the men could call in an
agent, and Mr.. May replied that he
thought they could.
Mr.. Clark-"Don't you think that il
this policy were followed it would re-
suit in much good?"
Mr.. May-"I think possibly II
would"
Mr.. May concluded his testimony by
stating that he thought $500 a year
was a fair American living wage and
that he would like to see all of his men
earning at least that much.

TO SNUFF VOLCANOES,
A Startling Discovery Made by An
Australian.

Volcanoes can easily be eNtinguish-
ed, says the New York Herald. A New
Zealand man claims (and there are
many who agree with him) to have
discovered a liquid by means of which
volcanoes may be extinguished quickly
whether active or threatening.
Many diseases of the human body
act in the same manner as volcanoes.
Dyspepsia, Rheumatism. Kidney Dis
orders, Female Diseases and many
others all begin with a slight rumble
of pain and distress. and If not treated
in time will burst forth in all their
fury, causing all who are so afflicted
the most intense suffering and MAX
ing life complete burden.
That a liquid has been discovered
that will extinguish these volcanic
eruptions of disease, whether active or
threatening, is not only certain, but a
material fact.

have been devised from time to
time, such as sprays, snuffs, creams
and other local applications, but, as a
rule. the medical profession has little
or no enthusiasm in the treatment of
catarrh.
1t is generally pronounced by them
to be incurable.
It. therefore, created a great sensa-

man announced that he had devised a
compound which would cure catarrh
permanently.
The remedy was named Peruna and
in a short time became known to
thousands of catarrh sufferers North,

Letters testifying to the fact that
Peruna is a radical cure for catarrh
began to pour in from all directions.
