red blood that makes health and
strength. Sold by all druggists.

UPHOLDS THE UNIFORM
SECRETARY BoNAPARTE TAKES
PART OF THE ENLISTED MAN.

Secretary Bonaparte's attention has been
directed to another case of discrimination
against an enlisted man wearing uniform.
A Norfolk hotel man is alleged to have
refused accommodations to G. L. Pruide of
the battleship Texas, although he had room
in his hotel for other enlisted men from
the Texas who were not wearing uniforms.
No official report of the case has been
made to the Secretary of the Navy as yet,
and he will take no action until all the
facts are known to him. 1t has been Secre-
tary Bonaparte's universal rule, however,
to protest against determinations directed
at enlisted men who happen to be wearing
uniforms. He resents the refusal of hotel
and theater managers to admit jackies in
uniform, and feels that such action is un-
patriotic and unjust.
1t was recently reported to Secretary
of the Philadelphia police force were wear
ing naval uniforms while carrying on their
war against crime in the city. protest
was sent at once to Mayor Weaver and the
Secretary of the Navy received an immedi-
ate reply that no such degradation of the
naval uniforms had been resOrted to.
Every possible effort to bring up the en-
listed personnel of the navy has been made.
and Secretary Bonaparte feels it Is wrong
for proprietors Of public places to visit upon
the enlisted men of today the crimes of all
their predecessors in the navy, thus making
it practically impossible for jackes who
are behaving themselves to enjoy the privi-
leges to which they are entitled.

GOOD NEWS FOR cH1NAMEN.
Dried Lizards Are to Be Admitted
Free of Duty

Dried lizards may be imported into this
country In the future without payment Of
duty whatever.
A decision to that effect has been render
ed by the United States circuit court for the
southern district of New York, and the
Treasury Department has been compelled
to back water as to the classification Of
this delicacy and to notify collectors of Gus
toms that no duty is to be paid.
Dried lizards are principally used in a
syrup compounded for sick Cinnamon. It
is one of the standard medicines Of the
Chinese, and is held in the greatest esteem
Some time ago quantity of dried lizards
was received in New York by Wing On wo,
who contended that they should not nav

The Treasury officials held that the lizards
should pay 10 per cent ad valorem as an
unenumerated manufactured article. Wing

1t is stated that not large quantity of
lizards comes to the United States. They
are dried in China, although American uz-
ards, properly dried, are held to have lust

however, is willing to pay more money for
the imported article.

CHICAGO GAMBLERS LAUGHED.
Police Failed to Interrupt Wireless
Race Communications.

CHICAGO, August 9.-An attempt was
made yesterday to put the gambling boat,
the City of Traverse, out of commission.
The idea was to eliminate the wireless
communication with the craft, thus de-
priving it of race results by sounding a
huge fog horn whose vibrations would
blur the wireless messages. The scheme
failed, however, and the results were gro
tescuely disastrous.
TIE gamblers laughed at the police in the
tug where the fog horn was in operation; !;
the life saving crews from Jackson Park
and South Chicago, believing the sounds
to be distress signals hurried to the Hyde
Park crib; sail boats, launches, motor
boats and an armada of small craft rush
ed to the rescue. while the shore from
Kenwood to Chicago was lined with per-
sons fearing an excursion boat disaster.
No difficulty with the wireless apparatus
was found on board the Traverse. accord
ing to employees of the boat and patrons
on board. The messages of the race re-
suits came without mishap and with regu-
larity, they declared. The chief inconven-
ience suffered was the blatant noise sound
ed from the fog horn of the Andy, which
hovered close to the side of the larger
boat all afternoon and made the dack Of
the ship a bedlam.

ran high in Salisbury again today when
news reached here that the barn on the
farm of Isaac Lyerly, for the murder of
whose family the three negroes were
lynched here Monday night, was burned
shortly after midnight, presumably by
friends of the men lynched. Two horses in
the stable broke out, but were so badly
burned they were shot
The military is stin on duty guarding
the Jail and court house. The case of the
alleged lynchers under arrest probably will
not be taken up at this term of court.
George Hall, the first man arrested, de-
sires to submit to a charge of conspiracy,
the maximum penalty for which is twenty
years in the penitentiary. The investiga-
tion is proceeding, and it is expected that

TURPENTINE CAMP WOES.
Story of Alleged Ill-treatment of
Workmen.

NEW YORK, August GA story of al
legged ill-treatment in a turpentine camp in
Florida was told today by Jacob Won ARK,
a Swede, twenty-four years old, who was
arraigned in police court in Hoboken, N. -,
on a charge of vagrancy. Won ARK said
he and four other men were engaged by a
New York employment agency to go to
Buffalo Buff, Fla, to work In the turpen-
tine camp. He said that he worked four
weeks and was paid $40 The food given
the men, he declared, was bad and the
quarters unfit for habitation.
Won Ark stated that he escaped from the
camp once, but was captured, beaten and
forced to return to work. He said he
escaped second time and made his way
to this city as best he could on freight
trains. He said his companions were still
prisoners at the camp so far as he knew.
Won ARK will be turned over to the Swedish
consul here.
Within the last few weeks several men
have made complaints to the local authori-
ties that they had been iIl-treated in the
southern turpentine camps; that they have
been denied wages and been beaten.
