WORLDS FAIR OFFICIALS
INVOLVED IN SCANDAL
Alleged Collusion in the Sale Of the
st. Louis Exposition
Buildings.

WASHINGTON, March s.-Charges
of scandal are made in the affairs of
the St Louis Exposition Company.
They concern the granting of awards
and also the salvage contracts by
which certain of the great exposition
buildings are to be removed. Senator
Thomas H. Carter, who has resigned
his place as chairman of the Govern
ment commission, said tonight that
one of the subject to be considered by
the commission involves alleged col
fusion in the sale of the exposition
buildings and all the property of the
exposition at what is said to be an in
adequate price received on a contract
made without fair competitive bid
ding
1T is claimed by numerous parties
the Senator added, that through the
failure of the exposition company to
fairly describe the property for sale a
profit Of more than s1,000.000 was given
to favored bidders, which would in
volve a loss to the United States of
one-third of that sum-

ADVERTISEMENTS.
AN EASY WAY
To Keep Wei.

II is easy TO keep we'll If we would
only observe each day a few simple
rules Of health.
The all important thing is to keep the
stomach right, and to do this il Is not
necessary 10 diet or to follow q set rule
or bill of fare. Such pampering simply
makes d capricious appetite and a feel
Ing that certain favorite articles of
food must be avoided.
Prof Wiechold gives pretty good ad-
vice on this subject; he says: Il am 6s
years old and have never had a serious
illness, and at the same time nv life
has been largely an indoor one. but I
early discovered that the way to keen
healthy was to keep a healthy stomach
not by eating bran crackers or dieting
Of any sort; on the contrary I always
eat what my appetite Graves, but daily
for the past eight years I have made ii
a practice TO take one or two Of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal
and ! attribute my robust health for a
nlen Of my age to the regular daily use
Of Stuart's Tablets.
Ny physician first advised me to use
them because he said they were per
fectly harmless and were not a secret
patent medicine, but contained only the
natural digestives, peptones and dias-
tase. and after using them few weeks
I have never ceased TO thank him for
his advice.
I honestly believe the habit Of taking
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals
Is the real health habit, because their
use brings health TO the sick and all
ing and preserves health TO the well
and strong"
Men and women past fifty years OF
age need a safe digestive after meals
10 insure a perfect digestion and to
ward off disease. and the safest, best
known and most widely used is Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets.
They are found in every well regu-
lated household from Maine to Cali
fornia and in Great Britain and Austria
LA are rapidly pushing their way into
popular favor
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, full sized packages at so cents.
and for week stomach a fifty cent
package will often do fifty dollars
worth of good.

SENATORS JOCULAR.
Enliven Last Days of Session by Intro
ducing Fake Bills.

SACRAMENTO, March 9.-The men,
bers Of the Senate cast serious thoughts
aside for a time tonight and INDUCED
in the pleasantries usually attendant
upon the closing of a session.
The fun was started when Senator
John Curtin of Sonora, a Democrat,
introduced what purported to be a bill
prescribing what shall be the qualifica-
tions of a Gubernatorial candidate. In
mock seriousness the document laid
down qualifications, political and
otherwise. that could relate to no one
other than Senator Charles M. Short
ridge. AS it is known that Shortridge
has the Gubernatorial bee in his bon
net the reading of the fake bill Gre
ated much merriment.
Shortridge was called upon for q
speech. He responded in vein of light
humor, provoking risibilities of his
associates and their guests. He also
referred to Senator Sanford, a possible
Democratic candidate.
This brought the Mendocino Senator
to his feet with witty address. Sew
eral other Senators followed, among
them Wolfe, Ward and Curtin.
There were quips for Senator Bel
shaw and Lieutenant Governor Ander-
son, each of whom is also regarded as
a possible candidate. Each responded
and the merriment was continued
throughout the evening, much to the
amusement of a large crowd.

pressure brought to bear to secure its
passage. Members from every part Of
the State were importuned to vote for
it. The bill was introduced in the Sem
ate by Ralston and in the lower house
by Drew.
The Assembly passed the measure to-
night, there being but six votes against

Ways and Means Committee. 1t is
understood that the Governor intends
to veto the bill, but the same pressure
that influenced the Legislature will be
brought to bear on the chief executive
and friends of the measure are assert
ing that it will be signed.
Senator Lukens' bill providing that
no one not owning $1,000 worth of the
capital stock of bank shall be one of
its directors was amended by the AS
sembly tonight by striking out that
provision.
Bauer's Senate bill providing for the
payment of fees to attorneys appoint

GOSSIP IN CAMP
OF POLITICIANS
Predictions That Governor
Pardee Will Soon Make
Out List of Appointees
PLACES TO BE FILLED
Leading Citizens of Marin
County Indorse j. H. Pryor
for Director of Prison

There is talk among the Republican
workers that the Governor will make
many appointments shortly after the
adjournment Of the Legislature. The
lawyers incline TO the opinion that the
selection Of Judges for the new courts
OF appeal has already been settled in
the mind Of the Governor. justices OF
the Supreme Court entertain the hope
that the selections will soon be an
nounced.
The recommendations made TO the
Legislature by ex-senator FELTON, on
behalf OF the State Board of Prison
Directors were received with so much
favor that the large appropriations
necessary for the Improvement Of the
prisons were granted. II is predicted
that the Governor will shortly an
nounce the appointment Of at least one
new director, as IL seems TO be settled
that Robert 7. Devlin. who was re-
Gently appointed United States District
Attorney, viii resign from the Prison
Board. Endorsements of a very high
character on behalf Of j. II. Pryor of
Marin County have been placed be-
fore the Governor. The term Of j..
H. wilkins of San Rafael will expire
next January. The term of Robert NJ.
Fitzgerald expired in January, 1904,
but his knowledge Of prison affairs is
so extensive that his associates ex-
press the hope that he VIII remain on
the board for at least one year longer.
The term Of DR.. E. z. Hennessey,
president Of the board of managers
of the Naoa State Hospital, expired In
July. 1908. and several Of the poll
ticiaas OF Napa County are making
a vigorous fight on the doctor
and predicting that the Governor
will turn him down. Reports from
Sacramento are to the effect that the
Governor has resolved to lift the
asylum out of the slough of
Napa County politics. In June of
this year the terms of r. NJ Swain
of Santa Rosa and F. W. Bush of
Napa viii expire. making three places
on the board for the Governor to fill.
The term of Max Goldberg of San
Francisco will not expire until May,
1906. There is talk to the effect that
the Governor may deem 1t advisable to
appoint at least one Democrat of Napa
County 10 the board of managers.

had been employed for the last year

Espey's race track gambling bill is
said to be doomed to defeat II it ap-
pears in the Senate. The measure pro-
hibits bookmaking, poo1-selling or
gambling of any kind on any race
track in the State. 1t passed the As
sembiy without much opposition and
was sent to the Senate last Friday,
where il has been allowed to remain
with the Committee on Public Morals.
Espey tried to enlist the services of
some Senator to recall the bill from
the committee, but without success.
He has practically given up the fight,
inasmuch as he cannot get anybody to
father the bill In the Senate.
Two important measures which will
not reach final passage are those pre-
pared by Francis j. Heney, represent
ing the Federal Government, designed
TO stop the frauds precticed by specu-
lators in State lands. Devlin of Solano
and Simpson of Alameda had charge
of the bills in the House and Senate
respectively.
The Senate killed the Assembly reso-
luton calling for the appointment Of
a commission of six to investigate
building and loan associations between
now and the next session.
