Wonderful Success Of Or. HoWard's
Dyspepsia Specifics Half
Price Offer.

p. A. Clemmer, the popular drug
gist, who introduced in Cresco DR..
Howard IS specific for the cure OF con-
stipation and dyspepsia with such
wonderful success, says that he is
hearing from druggists In other parts
OF the country, where the plan that
he urged the DR.. Howard Co. to adopt
introducing their specific by selling
at half price) bad been followed.
P. A. Clemmer showed the PLAIN
DEALER man letter he recently re-
ceived from e. s. Ingraham, of Elmira,
one of the best known druggists In
New York state. Mr.. Ingraham
writes: 81 have never undertaken the
introduction of new remedy with
such satisfactory results, both to M
self and to my trade. My average
sales have been nearly hundred
BOTTLES per week, and I have every
reason to think this will be doubled
within a short time.
"The specific gives remarkable re-
suits in the most obstinate cases Of
dyspepsia and constipation, and
although every package has been sold
under my personal guarantee to re-
fund the money If it did not give
satisfaction, not one has been re.
turned" !"
I have heard Mr.. Schoonmakers
lectures entitled: "China, the Shadow
on the World" Every statement he
makes about China, her people, her
history, her institutions, her literature
and art, and the moral teachings of
Confucius as contrasted with the
religion of Christianity, is perfectly
true. I was not only delighted to
hear an American speak with such
complete information about my
country, but was astonished to find
that there was any man in this civil
ization who so thoroughly understands
the civilization of China.-Ho Vow,
Imperial Chinese Consul General, San

OREGON LAND FRAUD CASE.

Charge Against Williamson.

In the land fraud cases at Portland, Greg.
yesterday United States District Attorney
Francis J. Heney delivered his opening ar
gument against Representative Williamson,
DR.. Van Gessner and United States Com
missioner Biggs, At the conclusion of He
ney's argument the defense announced that
its case would be submitted without argu-
ment.
District Attorney Heney went over the de-
tails OF what, in the theory of the govern
ment, goes to constitute a conspiracy on
the part of a representative in Congress, a
commissioner of the United States. and n
physician and man of prominence in his
community TO suborn a small host of Illegal
entrymen so that they might acquire title
by unlawful methods to large tracts of the
public domain and add to their sheep range

SOLD AS AMERICAN MADE"
limitations of Our Products Manufact
ured Abroad.

gentleman who is travelling abroad In
quiring into trade conditions. with special
reference TO the promotion of American
commerce. has written to the bureau OF
manufactures here that foreign manu-
facturers In England and on the continent
initiate American products and sell them
under the title American made" The cor
respondent says on this point:
II find that a great deal OF imitation of
our manufactures under the title of Amer
lean is going I'm Great Britain and on
the continent. ! was recently told in Lon
oon that many of the so-cslled American
shoes. as well many other American
articles being sold in Europe and else
where, are really of European make but
made after American patterns and the
English and French, as well as the Ger
mans and Austrians, are doing more or less
OF this. both for the home markets and for
expectation. Apparently quite large guam
titles of genuine American manufactures
are being sent from England TO ERypi
india. the Straits Settlements China and
Japan. American sewing machines and
2 , machinery manufactured in the
mted states are thus being sent by Brit
lsh exporters to the countries named
In Germany many articles OF Ameriean
ana English manufacture are being dupli-
Gated, and some of these are being sent Ia
the orient as well as to South America
AFRICA and elsewhere These limitations are
also sold In German markets as American
mace goods. This Is especially true of
shoes made after American patterns
Considerable quantities of merchandlse
originally made In the United States reach
France from England. the Netherlands and
Belgium, being imported however as prod
ucts of those countries thus securing I'm
some cases the benefit of the minimum
tariff rate which France does not accord TO
the United States This may explain I'm
part why our direct exports to France do
not increase as rapidly as 10 England. the
Netherlands and Belgium"

PREPARING TO FIGHT.
German Shoe Manufacturers Alarmed
at the American Invasion.

German shoe manufacturers are becoming
seriously alarmed by the inroads constantly
being made upon their business by Ameri-
can-made boots and shoes, according to a
report from Consul General Guenther of
Frankfort, Germany. Mr.. Guenther In his
report, says in part:
1.-THE League of German Shoe Manufac-
turers has just held it's annual convention
at Eisenach. The report of the executive
committee contained the statement that
lively propaganda was in course of prepara-
ton TO fight the importation and sale of
foreign shoes, especially American shoes, in
Germany. and that this movement would be
conducted In conjunction with the Central
Association of German Shoe Dealers
These German shoe combines are alarm
ed at and bitterly opposed to the progress
which American shoes are making in public
favor In Germany. / know of several
wealthy families. the members of which
formerly had their shoes made to order by
frst-ciass shoemakers here. paying SIS to So

can readymade shoes exclusively, which are
sold at 81 % per pair, are much more COM
Portable and of better shape. and last quite

THE American shoe store here which
started about three years ago, is doing a
splendid business, which Is constantly in
creasing. as Is shown by it's repair shop

People who have once worn American shoes
are not likely to buy any Others even If the
price should be made higher by advanced

the German shoe dealers and manufactur-
ers.
The American shoe store is located in the
best business street OF the city, and pays
$1,000 rent per annum for large single
corner room. The reputation of Its goods
is now so firmly established that the de-
mand would not decline even II the store
were to be changed to less prominent
and less costly location. This firm conducts

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. July 1o.-The
rousng reception rendered Representative
S. dney E. Mutd upon his appearance yes

county convention, held here, is the talk OF
the county today.
THAT ovation to Mr.. Mudd," said lead
ing Prince George republican, means that
the Ratchet has been buried and Mr.. Mudd
IL in full control of the situation"
The convention adjourned subject to the
call of the chairman, after naming the
members of the county central committee
and delegates to the state convention, and
without making nominations for the gem
erai assembly or fer county Offices
John I. Fisher of Oxon Hill district was
made permanent chairman, and Robert b.
Griffin OF Bowie district secretary. There
being contests in none of the districts, the
committee on credentials was dispensed
with.
On motion of George B. Merrick of Marl-
bcro. the following were named as MEM
bers of the county central committee:
jones B. Belt of Melwood John T. Fisher
Of Oxon Hill, r. n. Ryon of Marlboro, Jo-
seph A. Blundon of Bladensburg, and Clar-
ence Hawkins of Brandywfne.
The following fifteen delegates to the
state convention were selected on motion
of Postmaster G. b. TimanuS of Laurel,

ing. sending one representative, as follows:

Representative Mudd's entry to the meet
ing place was greeted with cheers. In adj
dressing the meeting Mr.. Mudd said, in
part:
II oppose that amendment because, in
the guise of relieving the people of this
state of what they term the incubus of an
irresponsible illiterate and corrupt negro
srffrage-it can be demonstrated by statis-
tics that cannot be denied-at the self same
time, and to the same extent, 1t hampers
with and teopardiZes the right to suffrage
of a large number of our colored voters in
this state, and puts the exercise of the
right to vote of the white and colored alike,
who are subject to its provisions, dependent
upon the within and the caprice of the illit-
crate, uninteligent, or. If need be, as very
often is the fact, corrupt election officials.
1t makes the vote of every man in the state
more uncertain, more insecure, and more
doubtful than 1t ever has been before, and
than 1t is in election laws of today,
mutilated as they have been by several sue
cessive democratic legislatures"
resolution was then adopted declaring
that 1t is resolved by the republican party

ANACoSTIA BRIDGE.
New Rules for Cars GO Into Effect
Next Sunday

Commencing next Sunday the new police
regulation looking to the safety of passen-
gers on the cars crossing Anacostia bridge
will be in effect. A notice to this effect was
issued to their employees today by the An
acostia and Potomac River Railroad Com
pany. AS stated in The Star, Engineer
Commissioner Biddle recommended that no
car be permitted to cross the bridge at a
rate faster than four miles an hour, nor
that more than forty passengers be allowed
to ride on one car.
To meet this latter requirement Vie
President George H. Harres of the railroad
company has issued the following order:
Should the number of passengers exceed
the legal limit Gorty). employees of this
company will hold said car until a suffi-
Client number of passengers voluntarily
leave the car, and thus reduce the number
to forty or less
To those who leave the cars transfers will
be Issued, so that. after walking across the
structure, they may board another car at
the opposite end of the bridge.

DEMAND FOR COTTON.
English Manufacturers to Encourage
the Growth Of the Staple.

the Growth OF the staple.
United States Consul Halstead. at Bir-
mingham, England, has reported to the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor that
there lie an apparently well organized move
ment started by the cotton manufacturers
of Great Britain to encourage the growth
OF cotton In the British possessions ana
countries other than the United States.
where natural conditions favor profitable
cultivation. This movement is being
directed by the British Cotton Growing
Association, and was organised to liberate
the British cotton trade from the danger
OF American spectators.
creases. but SO far. the consul says. there
has been no corresponding development of
the sources of supply. The huge crop pro-
duced in the United States has relieved the
situation, but American planters the report
points out. desire to maintain prices by re-
ducng the production. The international
cotton congress, in session at Manchester u
few weeks ago. assumed that in ten years
80 0O0. 600 acres under cotton Will be neces-
sary to supply the worlds demand, and the
United States will be only able to provide
35 600, 600, and that limit will be reached
within seven years.
India, Africa, the West Indies, Borneo,
Lagos and Cyprus have such natural conui-
tions that cotton may be raised there with
good results To promote the interest IN
the movement the British Cotton Growing
Association has opened in London an ex-
hibtion, where the products OF the Englsh
colonies are shown.

ASK AN AUDIENCE WITH WILSON
Cotton Manufacturers Seek Interview
With Secretary Of Agriculture.

President Miller of the American Cotton
Manufacturers Association wired from
Charlotte, n. c., yesterday to Secretary Of
Agriculture Wilson as follows:
IAN extraordinary meeting of the board
of governors of the American Cotton Man
ufacturers Association Is called to meet in
this city on July 20 to consider the propo-
sition of the Southern Cotton Growers As
ISOLATION and others to reopen and revise
the figures on acreage as promulgated by
the June report of your department. The
cotton manufacturers of the world using
American-grown cotton have confidence in
the report of your bureau until such un-
biased evidence Is produced as will have a
tendency to weaken this confidence. The
manufacturers OF cotton desire only the
true facts, and are opposed to any attempt
at coercion of any character whatsoever.
the purpose Of selecting committee not
to exceed three in number, which will pro-
coed TO Washington promptly to confer
with you in about the same capacity as
other interests in cotton are now being rep
resented. and we would respectfully request
that you grant such an audience as is
craved herein before any final decision is
determined upon by you toward revising
templated by you. We also request that
you name a date in the near future which
will be agreeable to You to receive this
committee"
Secretary Wilson received the telegram
Of President Miller of the American Cot
ton Manufacturers Association late yes
terday afternoon. He replied to President
Miller that he would see the committee of
three which the association proposed to
send to Washington, "or any other respect
able body that wanted to see him upon
the subject of the June cotton acreage
report. He suggested, however that the
committee confer with him before August l.
The question of revising the June report,
Secretary Wilson said, was still under con-
upon the decision of Assistant Secretary
Hays. who has been designated acting chief
statistician.
