offenders will hereafter be treated as

question that both are being prepared
with the greatest haste to meet any

al Verkhosky have been inspecting the
ships and crews of the Black Sea fleet.
Work on the warships is being pushed

SAFE IN THE ARMS OF G. 0. P.
Like Taylor of Kentucky, Perry Heath
Need Fear No Evil.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, March 2.-The Senate
Committee on Postoffices and Post Roads
today heard Assistant Attorney General
Robb, of the Postoffice Department In
advocacy of a bill to prohibit guessing
contests carried on by newspapers and
circulars.
During the coures of Mr.. Robb's state.
ment the subject of the Postoffice in
vestigaton was referred to. Speaker Gull
berson asking if some men had not been
protected by the statute of limitations.
Mr. Robb replied that he believed such
was the case.
Senator Culberson then asked if Perry
S. Heath was not one of those protected
by the statute
Mr.. Robb answered in the affirmative,
adding that on account of the position
which Heath occupied both officially and
politically he would have been glad to
have prosecuted him.
Senator Scott at this juncture declared
that Mr. Robb, was going outside his
province in making such a statement He
moved that all reference to the matter be
stricken from the record.
This motion was carried by a strict
party vote.
Senators Culberson and Clay strongly
objected to the proposition to strike the
statement made by Mr.. Robb from the
record, and Senator Clay said he was
going to bring the matter up in the Sen
ate, but Chairman Penrose ruled that it
was a committee matter which should
not go into the Senate.
Senator Clay moved to report favorably
resolution introduced some time ago
by Senator Pemose calling for a congress
sional investigation of the Postoffice De-
partment. On this motion the four Dem
ocrats present and Senator Penrose voted
AYE" and five Republicans in the mega
tive. Senator Penrose again put the mo-
ton and all of the Republicans except
Chairman Penrose withdrew breaking the

MURDERED HIS OWN CHILDREN.
Dr.. J. v. Jay Sentenced to Thirty Years
Brought to States Prison.

Three prisoners were brought to Raleigh
from Asheville yesterday and placed in
the States Prison. The convicts who
were in charge of Deputy Sheriff OFT
Wells and Charles Shope, are Matthew
Mills, sentenced Saturday by Judge Long
to nine years for felonous house breaking
and larceny; Maggie Lindsey, sentenced to
twelve months for perjury, and DR.. j. V.
Jay, sentenced to thirty years for the
murder of his three young children.
Jay, who firmly believes that in time he
will be pardoned is the man who. crazed
by whiskey last October. threatened to
kill his wife, who, running to neigh
boris for help returned to find her three
children dead on the front porch, Drained
and brutally mutilated with claw ham,
mer used on them by a father, kind when
sober, devil of ferocity when reason was
dethroned by drink.
Jay is not only under sentence for thirty
years, for this is. simply the sentence i'm
posed on him when he plead guilty of the
murder of his first child, but two other
charges stand against him. He was under
Indictment for the murder of his two
other children. and an effort was made
to have him submit and sentence imposed
at Ihat term. IhlS the counsel loE lle
defence would not agree to. AS the case
now stands, Jay is doomed to life i'm
prisonment. He is sentenced for thirty
years, but should he live until the expira
ton of this term, or should he be par
doned, as he expects to be- he would again
be brought into court and re-sentenced
in the second case for term of one to
thirty years, and if again pardoned, he
could besentenced for the third time for
like term.

London, March 3.-(Thursday)- Hardly
a word of news from the seat of war with
the exception of the Russian official dis
patches, is published here this morn
ing. and it now seems clear that the
story in the Morning Telegraph, two days
ago of Commandment of Port Arthur,
by the Japanese on February Goth, is
nothing more than re-echo Of previous
attacks
From Yin Kow comes an unconfirmed re-
port that five hundred bandits, armed
with modern rifles. have attacked a Rus
sian post to the west of Hal Cheng-
(Haicheng is thirty-two miles east by
north of New Chwang). There was severe
fighting and both sides lost heavily. This
report is diseredited at Yin Kow. but if
it is true it indicates that serious danger
is confronting Russia in these well-armed
brigand bands.
According to the Daily Mails account
of this affair, six Japanese found among
the bandits were killed This would tend
to show that the Japanese are organizing
the bands.

gall STONES DRIVEN OUT
NJ lowell Duva College, Atlanta, Agony
More Than With Gall Stones,
Vain. Nothing Could Help Him, Finally i
Cured by Warmers Safe Cure

DR.. Lowell Cobb widely known throughout
the South as a successful author and President
of Duval College, Atlanta, Ca, owes his life to
Safe Cure. In a recent letter he says:
CT suffered for three years with gall stones
and thoughtnothing could helpme, for had tried
many different remedies without avail, but for
tunately for me one of my friends called my at
tention to Warmers Safe Cure and l at once got
a bottle as / was anxious to know what it would
do for me. 1t acted like a charm every dose
helped me- and in four months was cured and
have had no recurrence of the trouble since. 1t
has made new man of me, and gladly give
credit where it is due-to Safe Cure"
Gall stones, or gravel, are the result of uric
acid poisoning caused by diseased kidneys and a
torpid liver AS the gall stones increase in size,
prolonged fits of sickness attended with great
agony afflict the sufferer.
Thousands die yearly of gall stones, and
never know what is the matter until the end
is at hand. The kidneys are diseased.
s'Safe Cure" is the only complete and perfect
cure for gall stoves. 1t dissolves the stones and
forces them out of the system, together with all
waste and poisonous matter, without danger, and
quickly brings the liver, kidneys and bladder
back to condition of perfect health, and en-
ables them to do their work properly and fully.

AN ORDER OF EXPULSION.
u was Entered in Court Against q
Telephone Company, but an Appeal
was Taken and IL Is Nullified.

Nashville, Tenn. May 3.-Chancel.
lor Allison yesterday ordered the
Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph
Co. into the hands of a receiver and
ruled that the corporation be ousted
from the state. Later in the day he
amended his decree. stating that for
satisfactory reasons he would decline
to appoint the receiver. The company
has an authorized capital of s20.000,-
900. II controls the telephone situa-
tion in the south by reason of its re-
lations to the Bell Telephone Co.
The action grows out of an effort on
the part of the state, at the instance
of the Independent Telephone Co., OF
Columbia. Tenn. to declare a for
feiture of the charter of the defendant
company. upon the ground that it has
violated the statutes in its attempts
to suppress competition.
II is charged in the bill that the de-
fendant company leased to one of its
officers the local exchanges in those
towns in which it is confronted with
competition, and that II Immediately
proceeded to break down its rivals by
reducing the rates below a paying
basis. This resulted in the death or
absorption of the smaller concerns
and the rates were restored as soon
as competition was stifled.
The telephone company entered an
appeal to the next term of the su-
preme court. This appeal vacates the
order of expulsion.
