SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by One Bottle Of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy.

when had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second one) l actu-
ally cured my self with one bottle of
Cham berlain's Cough Remedy"
says Frank ". Perry, editor of the
Enterprise, Shortsville, NY. This
il the honest truth. at times kept
from coughing myself to pieces by
taking a teaspoonful of this reme-
dy, and when the coughing spell
would come on at night l would
take q dose and il seemed that in
the briefest interval the cough
would pass off and 1 would go to
sleep perfectly free from cough and
it's accompanying pains. To say
that the remedy acted as a most
agreeable surprise is putting it
very mildly. had no idea that II
would or could knock out the grip,
simply because had never tried it
for such purpose. but it did. and
il seemed with the second attack OF
the remedy caused 1t to
not only be of lees duration, but the
pains were far less severe, and l
had not used the contents of one
bottle before Mr.. Grip had bid me
adieu.' For sale by A. X. Kane.

FOR PROMOTING ANARCHY
ARREST OF JOHN TURNER WHILE
SPEAKING IN NEW YORK.
EugIishman for Whom Federal Off
GERS Had Been Searching-Emma
Goldman Was with Him.

NEW YORK. Oct. 23.-Armed with war
rant sworn out by Secretary Cortelyou, OF
the Department of Commerce and Labor,
four immigration inspectors. with several
secret-seryice detectives and a number OF
policemen went To Murray Hill Lyceum to-
night ard arrested John Turner. an English
man. on charge of melting and promoting
anarchy in violation of the alien labor laws.
Turner had just finished a lecture on
''Trade Unionism OF the General Strike" "
and the hail. which was crowded. was in
an tDroar when the arrest was made, but
the police were too numerous for the crowd
10 do more than shout their disapprovai.
Turner was put on board q revenue cutter
and taken to Ellis island, where he was
locked up.
immigration Commissioner Williams has
had a warrant for Turner's arrest for the
past five weeks. The federal officials al
iege that he had been going from city TO

he was not apprehended until tonight

PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT.
Judge PenfieId Says the United state,
Is Entitled to Ii.

THE HAGUE. Oct. 23.-United States
Minister Bowen and Judge W. l.. Penfeld.
solicitor of the United States State De-
partment. who is assisting Mr.. Bowen in
the Venezuelan negotiations before The
Hague arbitration tribunal. have submitted
10 the tribunal, which resumes its sessions
Nov. 4. preliminary statements concerning
the question whether the allies are enti-
tied to preferential treatment over the
United States from Venezuela in the matter
Of claim payments. They explain that 1t is
the most earnest wish and purpose of the
United States TO uphold the high character
Of the tribunal to advance the cause of
arbitration and to promote the most friend
ly and most peaceful relations between the
nations. In his statement Judge Penfeld
says that II any government is entitled TO
preferential treatment IL is the United
States. which should share i'm the distribu-
tion OF the 80 per cent. trust fund: the war
like operations of the allies did not benefit
the United States.
Mr. Bowen asserts that TO avert the pos
siblty of war the allies consented to pre-
sent the matter TO The Hague. Why the
allies resorted TO warlike measures, he
continues, is question they cannot answer
creditably; il they did through a lack
of tact and good sense they deserve 10 be
punished. In the opinion of the minister
Venezuela is entitled to exemplary damages
from the allies far in excess of even the
combined claims against her.
