for the relief of periodic pains,
backache, nervous or sick head

IF taken as directed you may
have entire confidence in their
effectiveness, as well as in the
fact that they will leave no dis
agreeable after-effects.
They contain no morphine,
opium, choral, cocaine or other
dangerous drugs.

Armour & CO., he said, never handled fruits
of any kind but they did handle poultry

MIR Robbins also denied the statement
that the Gar lines had no regular printed
schedules of rates. He produced printed
copy of the rates. and said that they we're
made UP in the spring for the coming sea-
son and under the contract with the rail
roads the private car companies were for
bidden to advance them. although they
were often lowered.
When Armour & Co. secured a special
contract with the Georgia Central Rail

was $50 car. The Armour line immedi-
atelv reduced that rate. 10y reason of their

be found. Foinan then sent Detectives
Poher and Hogan TO look Tor him. Inc
two Baltimore sleuths did some expert
gumshoeing, and finally saw Aubary go
into a house at 278 First avenue. They
then appealed TO Headquarters Detec-
tive Sergeants Duggan and kinsier ac-
oompanied them TO the house, and all four
broke in the door. The sleuths were at
once confronted by big slN-shooter IN
the hands of Aubary
Back out. or I'll puncture you. yelled
Aubary.
Pohier suddenly balanced himself on one
toe and kicked the gun out of Aubary's
hand with the other.
just then n young man named Charles
Franklin appeared He was arrested too,
though Aubary protested hotly.
Franklin doesn't know a thing about
those robberies. | turned all the tricks

Nevertheless. Franklin was held with
Aubary in s., 900 by Magistrate Pool in the

President Prltohett Says the Lawyers HAVE
Found Obstacles In the way.

At the Technology Club dinner in the st.
Regis Hotel last evening. at which about
fifty persons were present, the prespent
Of the club, Alexander Rice Mchim, pre-
siding, Henry S. Pritchett, president OF the
Massa chusetts Institute Of Technology,
spoke OF the recent discussion about unit
ing the Technology Institute with Harvard
University.
President Pritehett- said that there Lau
been a number Of conferences on the sub
ject between committees representing the
two institutions and that basis OF agree
ment had been reached whereby the lnsti-
tute OF Technology was to retoin its inde-
pendenoe and management and Harvard
was to turn over ali her chronological de-
partments and fund for such instruction
10 the institute. which was thus to be noml-
nally united with the university.
The lawyers. however. had found that
there might be some difficulty as to Harvard
fulfilling her part Of the compact in the
matter of the funds. There the matter
cams to halt, although negotiations are
still pending.
President Pritchett said as to the ques-
ton Of curtailing the size OF the institute
that there were some 900 students now
and that there coon would be ZOO Some
were in favor OF restricting the number
OF Students but Others. President Pritchett
among them, thought the only exolu-
sion that should be applied should be
that which would be self-operative by
