Cured of Piles After 40 Years.

Mr.. G. Haney, of Geneva, o., had the

could do him no lasting good. DeWitt's
Witch Hazel salve cured him perma-

THE IsTHMIAN CANAL.

Since the canal treaty has died by limi-
negotiations with Nicaragua with view
TO digging the canal over this route. and
will probably do so in earnest. Unless
there is something in the recent communi-
cation of DR.. Herrara to the State De-
partment the public knows nothing about,
IL seems useless to trifie longer with the
statesmen of Colombia, who seem as blind
to the interests of their own country as
they are to those of the rest of the world.
II the American government were TO try
again with them it would probably be the
old story of much high-sounding talk in
the Colombian senate, much dirty railroad
money in the pockets of the members. and
another year frittered away with nothing
done. More than five years have now
elapsed since, at the close of the Spanish
war, the American people declared emphat-
ically and with practical unanimity for an
interoceanic canal and they seem as far
away from it at this moment as ever. The
first obstacle was the old treaty with Eng
land. which prevented us from obtaining
the necessary sovereignty for the route of
the canal through Nicaragua, and this
meant long negotiations, long fight in our
own senate, rejection of the new treaty.
and then more negotiations. Then a switch
was made to the Panama route, deal was
made with the French company, and law
passed giving the President discretion as to
which route to follow. Then came nego-
tiations for treaty with Colombia, neces-
sary for the completion of the French deal.
and now, after a long siege in the Colon
bian senate, this falls to the ground. But
the American people are by no means worn
out on the subject or ready to give up
the canal project. The impulse in favor of
it in 1898 was military but every day the
commercial necessity becomes more APP
parent The demand for it Is even more
insistent to-day than it was five years ago.
and the people have no thought whatever
of letting the project die.

1t Is undoubtedly very fortunate thing
for Mr.. Bookwalter that the ''anti-Book-
walter Republicans have declared for Mr.
Holtzman, the Democratic nominee. instead
Of for Mr.. Hitz, the independent rohibi-
ton candidate; not because the latter was
in any particular danger of being elected,
but because the action Of this committee
cuts off most OF what might have been its
following and will bring back to Book
walter much of the independent Republican
support that might otherwise have been lost
to him. DR.. Ridpath and his friends doubt
less mean well, but an appeal to stick to
true Republicanism by voting for Hoffman
is too ridiculous to be seriously considered
by thinking Republicans.
And they are satisfied from the state
ments made to us by Mr.. Hoffman that he
is so far separated from the lawess and
vicious elements in the city that they could
not control him. If elected. If they should
try" Since when did Hoffman separate
himself from Poster, his chief lieutenant
in the ante-convention campaign? When did
he get away from the baser element that
has always been at the beck and call of
Reach in Indianapolis politics? When did he
get away from the saloon keepers in whose
places Democratic precinct meetings are
held nightly? In short. when did he get
away from the element in control OF the
Democratic party in Indianapolis?
These gentlemen are working in a purely
negative cause. They not satisfied with
Bookwalter and they are fairly we'll aware
of the shortcomings of Hoffman. but they
are willing to take chance on anything to
beat Bookwalter. That sort Of a fight does
not appeal to the average American. who
prefers to fight for something positive.

LIABILITY FOR ACCIDENTS.

The recent trial in the New Jersey courts
of a number of directors of the North Jersey
street-railway Company on a charge of
criminal liability for a crossing accident
has attracted not little attention, not
merely in railway and trolley circles, but
among large Industrial corporations well.
The civil liability of all such corporations
for damages in cases of accident due to
carelessness Of employees has, of course,
been long established. and is regularly taken
into count in the financial estimates Of cur
rent revenues and expenditures, but the eff
fort to fasten a criminal charge upon the
directors was something new The chief
justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court
rendered decision declaring that crimi-
nal liability did not attach, and the decision
was concurred In by the two other justices
sitting with him. In brief the court de-
suited from an infraction of the rules by
an employee the directors could not for this
reason be held guilty of criminal careless
ness in the selection Of responsible mana
gers or to have neglected their duty in a
felonious manner. They were far from the
details of management. being largely en-
gagged with the financial affairs of the COM
pany and leaving details of operation with
officers carefully selected. Had the decision
been otherwise 1T would have put very con-
siderable difficulties in the way of indus
trial and transportation corporations in OBJ
tanning men of standing and good financial
Judgment to serve In their directories.
AS the law and practice stand in the civil
courts, juries are prone always to stretch
law and precedent in damage cases in favor
of the victim of an accident and against the
corporation whose road or in whose plant
the accident occurred. This is fact so well
recognized that railroad aud other corpora
tions will invariably compromise rather
than fight such claims If there is any chance
-of getting off with reasonable damages.

CHICAGO'S DOUBLE CRIME
MAN AND WOMAN KILLED SOON
AFTER TUESDAY MIDNIGHT.
Bodies Found Early in the Morning
and Later Identiflcd-TwO Theories
Concerning the Tragedy.

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-Early this morning
the dead bodies Of Harriet Elizabeth Weber
and Innocent Talamini, marble cutter,
were found on Lexington avenue, just south
of Fifty-fourth street. Both had
been shot twice, and while there are in
dications that the man shot the woman and
then killed himself, there are other fea-
lures of the case that make 1t somewhat
mysterious. Arthur NJ. Laurie, with whom
the dead woman had made her home, will
be held by the police until after the in
quest. There Is no evidence connecting
him with the shooting, but he is detained
as a witness. The shots that killed the
man and woman were heard by residents
of the neighborhood at about o'clock last
night No move was made to investigate
the shooting, however, and nothing was
known of the tragedy until this morning
when the bodies were discovered by a news
paper carrier.
The body of the woman was identified in
a short time as that of MRS. Laurie" but
when Laurie was brought to the police
station he said that she was not his wife
and that he did not know the man whose
body was found with hers.
Tonight, in going through the effects of
Miss Weber, an envelope found adj
dressed. evidently in the handwriting of a
man, to Innocent Talamini. In seeking
Talamini to find what he might know of
the woman or the shooting, the officers
identified the dead man as Talamin him.
self. No cause is known why Talamini
should have shot the woman, but she had
told several Of her friends the day before
of a Jew who had been following her and
of whom she was afraid. Taamini has a
Hebraic countenance, and it is the general
theory that he shot her because she re-
fused to marry him. The woman, when
found, had been shot twice through the
left arm and through the breast. Talamini
was shot twice, once through the neck and
once upward through the chin. the bullet
coming out at the top of his head.
In the mans hand was a revolver with
four chambers discharged, accounting for
the four shots fired. The people living in
the neighborhood where the tragedy &C.
CURED declare that more than four shots
were fired, and one bullet crashed through
the window of Mrs. s. Caswell, at 54lO
Lexington avenue. These facts have led
the police to believe that there may have
been a third party to the shooting, al
though there is SO far no direct proof that
such was the fact.
The Weber woman was a native Of De-
troit, Mich, having come here from that
city several years ago.

NIAGARA FALLS, Sept 23.-The Farm
ers' National Congress to-day considered
several questions affecting the distributive
side of agriculture. Most of the time of
the congress will be given to the distribu-
tive problems. as the farmers consider that
they have solved nearly all the productive
questions, and that national assistance
should now be invoked to aid American
farmers in finding a market. rather than
helping them grow products. James Wood,
of Mount Kiscony, delivered an address on
How We Can Enlarge Our Foreign Mar
kets for Farm Products" To help big
ger market, he said, an increased merchant
marine should be had. and by following
these lines American farm products will
find foreign markets easy.
Aaron Jones. master of the National
Extension of the Facilities of Our Mail
System" He favored the immediate ex-
pansion of rural free delivery and the re-
adjustment OF the parcels post system.
This afternoon the committee on resolu-
tions met to consider what resolutions
should be brought before Congress at this
session. Among the important subjects TO
be considered are agricultural reciprocity
with Canada, the ship subsidy bill. the atti-
tude OF the farmers to labor unions the
trusts. and the extension of rural free de-
livery. There appears TO be a strong senti-
ment in favor OF reciprocity with Canada

EFFORT TO INJECT POLITICS
FEDERATION SITS DOWN ON TWO
DELEGATES FROM LOGANsPORT.
Resolution Is Tabled-Criticism of
GeOlOgist BlatchIey.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Sept. 23.-Edgar A.
Perkins was to-day reelected president of
the Indiana Federation of Labor. Perkins
has filled the position for seven years.
Other officers were elected as follows:
George Derrick, Muncie, first vice pres-
dent; Miss Lilly Fredericks. Indianapolis,
second vice president; Wellington O'Con-
nor, Staunton. third vice president; James
E. Hegearty. Terre Haute. fourth vice
president; John w. Peters, South Bend,
secretary treasurer.
An effort by F. b. Livingston and George
w. Burkhart, of Logansport to turn the
State Federation of Labor into a political
machine was nipped in the bud, but the
action brought on a fight in which the dis
cussion was unusually heated. Livingstons
idea was to organize the trades unions in
the industrial field and unite them on the
political field, in which the unions would
be compelled to support candidates repre-
senting the wage earners. After much
spirited discussion, the federation decided
that politics, whether Democratic, Repub-
lican, Socialistic or Prohibition, had no
place in the conventions of trades unionists,
as the obligations as unionists accorded po-
litical and religious freedom to all men,
bers. The opposition to Livingston's reso-
luton was led very effectively by the
printers. Addresses were made by Charles
L. Kiser, of Alexandria: John l.. Sessler,
Of Muncie; Edward p. Barry, Of Indian
apolis. The opposition intimated the resolu-
ton was Socialistic in it's nature and
should have been consigned to the waste
basket. 1t was pointed out that any po-
litical affiliations would disrupt the fedora
ton. The supporters claimed they wanted
an organization 10 defeat men who were
foes to the labor unions.
The Federation placed itself on record as
being heartily in favor of the State account
system and opposed to an extension of the
time limit of contract labor in the peniten-
tiary at Michigan City and the Reform
atory at Jeffersonville. President Perkins
said the reforma tory was in a poor con-
dition and asserted that State Geologist
Blatchley had formulated a plan for es-
tablishing a brickyard for making bricks
and building a new institution, the same
to be built by the convicts. He said the
prisoners could be used for improving roads
and thereby would come in competition
with union labor but very little.
At to-nights session an address was
made by c. Z. Hawkes., vice president of
the International Typographical Union, and
delegates made written reports of condi-
tions in their locals.
