guments. It did not mean that they
were trying to defeat the bill il It
could be amended to meet their views.
Mr.. Knox had declared it TO be
unconstitutional unless amended, and
that was the general position of the
opponents of limited court review
which led the president on that day to
conclude it would be best to expressly
grant the jurisdiction to review, but
to rigidly limit it to the two objects
named. The only harm that ! can
see that has come in the whole bust
ness was the abandonment Of any at
tempt to carry that limitation of the
review, without any previous notice
to Senators Tillman and Bailey.
ION the whole, perhaps, ought to
consider myself fortunate. II the old
imperialist days had been fully revived
at the white house, one whom con-
slider the best of friends Senator
Lodge, upon demand would have cut
off my head and taken 1t to President
Roosevelt on charger, and | should
have spoken no more. Now, at least,
| have left the power of speech. But
shall never use it again as mis-
sionary from President Roosevelt to
the democratic party.

VOTE FOR SEA LEVEL
The Senate Committee Acts in Re.
gard to Canal

Washington--The decision of the
senate committee on interoceanic ca
nails is in favor of a sealevel canal
across the Isthmus of Panama. SEN
ator Carmack's return from Tonnes
see gave the sealevel advocates ma
jority of one vote, and consequently
Chairman Millard was the only one of
the minority faction who attended the
meeting.
There was no other business before
the committee, and it remained in
session just long enough TO authorize
Senator Kittredge to make the report
to be presented to the senate as soon
as the minority may have an oppor-
tunity to prepare their views for a
lock canal. The two reports will be
made at the same time.
The vote was had on a resolution
presented by Senator Kittredge de-
claring it to be the sense of the COM
mittee that the construction of sea
level canal be recommended.
On the motion the affirmative votes
were Messrs Platt, Kittredge, An
keny, Morgan, Carmack and ITALIA
ferro. Chairman Millard voted in the
negative. Senators Knox, Hopkins,
Simmons and Dryden were not pres
ent. All of these are supporters OF
the lock type.

MADE NO OvERTUREs
Senator TilIman's Reply to the Presi-
dents Letter-He Refers to
Attorney General

Washington-Senat Tillman, after
the presidents letter had been read,
arose in his place in the senate and
read the portion of Mr.. Chandler's
memorandum of his conferences with
the president which has heretofore
been given to the public, prefacing
1t with brief statement of his own,
saying that on Saturday the senate
had been startled and mortified to
hear the utterances Of an ex-member
denounced on behalf of the president
as deliberate and unqualified false
hood AS he had been responsible
for introducing the subject which had
caused the attack on Mr. Chandler, he
felt under obligations to place him
right on the record To that end he
read the ex-senators statement.
No Overtures to the President
The reading of that statement was
followed by the following from Mr..
Tillman
There are only two points IN the
presidents letter which | deem
worthy of notice. His attempted ex-
PLANTATION is ingenious, but not in
genuous. He calls in question the
integrity of purpose and utterance OF
Mr.. Chandler by declaring:
He was asked to see ex-enatOr
Chandler as representing Mr.. Tiliman,
who was in charge of the bill He
stated to me the views of Mr.. Till
man with seeming authority
mfr. Chandler has declared most
positively in written statement that
the president sent for him for the
purpose Of getting into communication
with Senator Bailey and myself, and
he has produced the letter Of Mr..
Loeb
II now declare most emphatically
that to no human being have ever
given authority or even expressed a
wish to have any conference with
Theodore Roosevelt In regar to the
bill now under consideration. On the
contrary, / have expressed the opin-
ion in more than one published in
terview that he had nothing to do
| with it and that it was tn, business
of the senate, and while | did, at his
request, enter into negotiations with
the attorney general, it is well known
| to every senator on this floor what
my attitude and feelings have been,
and it is most remarkable, while the
president sent for democrat after DEM
ocrat to confer with him about this

senate. Much as I regret that the
hasty action of Senator Lodge and
the president has forced an issue De-
tween the president and myself, the
extreme language he used makes such
issue unavoidable, and | can not shrink
from or evade it, although | can not
use toward the chief executive OF the
nation language like his own. Upon
our respective statements submit the
controversy with confidence to the
Judgment of those who know me.
"For those who do not know me
there is fortunately circumstantial ev-
idence of a high order which shows
that the president could not have
omitted to make in substance the
statement which he denies. Nor
could he have then made the whole
statement which he now substitutes.
His impulsiveness has led him into
serious error upon point of no I'M
portance in itself, but only as affecting
his attack upon me. | give you a
further statement, as follows
.sPrior to March 81 | had not seen
the president for long time. | did
NOT go to the white house as rep
resentative of Senator Tlllman, but
solely because the president summon
ed me there by the letter from Mr..
Loeb. and waited for him to express
his object. It was Enthusiastically stated
to be a communication with Mr.. Till
man, who had the rate bill in charge,
and other democrats of the senate for
the purpose of securing the adoption
in the railroad rate bill of a court
review clause limiting the inquiry to
the question whether the commission
had exceeded it's authority or had vlo-
lated the constitutional rights of the
carrier.
II knew and ne knew that it was
impossible for him to open conference
with Mr.. Tillman unless he was fully
satisfied that the president had abso
lutely given up all intention OF coming
to an agreement with the senators
who had been making the contest foI
an unlimited court review, and in
stating his object he said that he had
parted from them finally, naming Sen
ator Knox, Foraker and Spooner as
the senators who had made the argu
ments in the senate to sustain tna'
view. and he used, as nearly as | car
recollect, the language given in my
statement repeated by Mr.. Tillman.
"The conversation included the I'm
derstanding which he had that day
reached with Senators Long and Al
lison; the fact that not over one-tnlfe
of the Republican senators could DC

review and that it was vital that the
support of nearly all the Democrats
should be obtained.

and suspicious. He questioned MT

WANTED TO CHECK GROWTH
Ascot Park Stable Boy Tells of "Thin"
Treatment Administered
bV Trainers

According to the allegations of Fred
Bergland, an 11-year-old stableboy, he
was drugged and enticed into bad
habits by trainers at Ascot park who
were giving him the chin treatment
that he might become a lightweight
jockey
The boy was examined before Judge
Wilbur in the juvenile court Friday
afternoon and yesterday he was sent
to the detention home, where he will
be closely watched until the racing
season closes and the trainers and
horses have departed.
Bergland was arrested on a charge
of having stolen a meerschaum pipe
from a downtown cigar store. The boy
confessed the theft but stated that he
took the pipe that he might smoke
and become stunted and therefore be
a good Jockey.
He charged horse trainer with hav-
ing given him liquor and cigarettes to
stunt his growth.

LOOK OF INNOCENCE
IS MERELY A MASK
LITTLE WONG FoNG REALLY
FULL OF GUILE
Boy Who Is Said to Be an Ideal
Guard for Lottery Joint Held to
the Juvenile Court-Believed to Be
Keen Spy and Outside Guard

An innocent lookinS little Chinese
boy Wong Fong, jr., was examined be-
fore Justice Chambers yesterday and
the case was certified to the juvenile
session of the superior court.
Little Wong, who is ia years old, is
accused of being in the employ of a
Chinese lottery company, and 1t is said
that he made an ideal guard. When
the police tried to raid the place kept
by his father Wong Fong, the boy,
would give % signal and by the time
the policemen gained the inner room
there would be no evidence of lot
terry playing. The boy looks so inno-
cent that no one would suspect him
of the guile accredited to him, but
he is said to be one of the keenest
little spies and outside guards in China
town.
The boy was also used for errands,
according to the police, and proved a
good messenger to send to places where
an older man might be suspected.
Several grave-faced Cinnamon were
in court listening eagerly to the evil
deneC introduced and they showed con-
siderable sadness when an order was
entered committing the boy to the de-
tention home, pending his trial before
Judge Wilbur in the juvenile session.
1t is claimed that Wong is treated
like slave and that under Christian
influences he would blossom out into
the ideal Chinese mission school pupil,
but the police say that his aspirations
do not lie in that direction and that
he would prefer to be prosperous
merchant with side line" of lottery
tickets

In the Rocky Mountain region there

there are snow storms and cold wealth.

snow storms reported in all the eastern
localities, from the lake region to the
farther points.
Occasional showers are predicted for

that he named the feathered prodigy
Nordina, after Lillian Nordica, who Is
a native of Maine. Nordina's voice
was a rich soprano but of course I'M
trained, and Ben set about cultivating
it. The hired man was instructed to
confine himself to classical music when
he whistled, the melodeon was tuned
and Ben himself sent for the scores of
"Boheme" and Carmen" and brushed
up his own musical education.
Cultivating the voice of a hen is an
unusual undertaking, and the owner
of the fowl met with many difficulties,
but on the whole he has succeeded ad-
mirably, and the countryside admits
Nordina is a wonder. AS yet, however,
she is a bit rusty on grand opera and
her voice is still 'throaty."

THREE RAIL PLAN
0UTDOES TROLLEY
HUNTINGTON MAY USE THE
NEW SYSTEM
Patentee Is Here and Mile Test Track
on Eagle Rock Route Will Be
Tried-No Leakage or
Waste

Now that H. e. Huntington has re-
turned to Los Angeles it is expected
that he will soon close a deal with A.
r. Buzello, representing Timothy Ma
honey. who has a new invention in the
way OF a third rail system.
Several of the officials and engineers
of the Pacific Electric railroad have
examined the new system and all of
them pronounce it practical and highly
tndorse it.
General Manager SCHNEIDER spent sew
eral hours studying miniature car
that works by the new system.
Within sixty days mile Of road,
probably on the Eagle Rock line, will
be completed and will be given prac-
tical test.
1t Is claimed by the owners that by
the new system all danger Of overhead
trolleys or third rails will be done away
with. The power is transmitted by
means of a third rail with two sets OF
brushes, one located on each end of the
car, resting upon it. There is no cur
rent except between these brushes.
System Economical
The owners say that the street rail-
ways will be compelled to adopt the
system for several reasons. 1t can be
constructed more cheaply, they say,
and the people will demand that the
overhead trolley shall be done away
with on account of people being in
jured when the trolley wires break.
Mr.. Mahoney perfected his plans to
his own satisfaction only after twelve
years of hard study. He was born in
Ventura and now makes his home in
both San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Mr.. Mahoney says that there can be
no leakage of current and no waste
energy The current is switched ON
and off by the cars passing over the
tracks. which are built in sections and
insulated.
MIR. Mahoney has also received
patents upon an electrical apparatus
which can be used to either heat or
cool a room.

For Herald Readers

With view of assisting to educate
it's readers along such lines the man
agement of The Herald has completed
arrangements with the publishers of
the polychrome views for supplying it's
readers with a series of these views,
containing 100 subjects, making a tour
of the world. In this 100 views are pre-
scented scenes from places of public in
terest we should all know about in the
different civilized countries it would be
necessary to visit in making tour of
the world.
Mr.. Scott, representing the publishers
of the polychrome views, while in Los
Angeles stated that the president of his
company is now in this section of the
country investigating the practicability
of issuing a special series of exclusive
Southern California views. Mr.. Scott
stated that there was an inquiry, in
fact a demand, in the east for views of
California, and owing to the wealth of
interesting and picturesque scenery in
the southern part of the state this
series would undoubtedly be the most
popular set ever issued. Arrangements
are now being completed for producing
this series and the special photographs
will be made within the next few
weeks, so that the entire series may be
ready for distribution by early fall.
The fact that the larger part of this
series will be distributed in the east
and middle west will be of great benefit
to Southern California, as this will be
the first opportunity these people will
have had to obtain any adequate and
definite idea of the actual beauties and
natural advantages of this secion, and
this should result in renewed interest
and greatly increase the number of
visitors and homeseekers.

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease

The mention of sulphur will recall
to many of us the early days when
our mothers and grandmothers gave
us our daily dose of sulphur and
molasses every spring and fall.
1t was the universal spring and fall
"blood purifier" tonic and cure-all,
and, mind you, this old-fashioned rem
edy was not without merit.
The idea was good but the rem
edy was crude and unpalatable, and a
large quantity had to be taken to get
any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in a palatable, con-
centrated form, so that single grain
is far more effective than a table,
spoonful of the crude sulphur
In recent years research and ex-
pertinent have proven that the best
sulphur for medicinal use is that OBJ
tanned from calcium Calcium sui
phide) and sold in drug stores under
the name of Stuarts Calcium Waters.
They are small chocolate coated pei
lets and contain the active medicinal
principle of sulphur in a highly con-
centrated effective form.
Few people are aware of the value
of this form of sulphur in restoring
and maintaining bodily vigor and
health; sulphur acts directly on the
liver and excretory organs and puri-
fies and enriches the blood by the
prompt elimination of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew Of this when
they dosed US with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall but the
crudity and impurity of ordinary
flowers of sulphur were often worse
than the disease, and cannot compare
with the modern concentrated prepara-
tons of sulphur, of which Stuart s.
Calcium Waters is undoubtedly the
best and most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for
liver and kidney troubles and cure con-
stipation and purify the blood in a
way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.
DR.. r. M. wilkins, while experiment.
ing with sulphur remedies, soon found
that the sulphur from calcium was
superior to any other form. He saws.
For liver, kidney and blood troubles.
especially when resulting from con-
stipation or malaria, l have been sur
prised at the results obtained from
Stuart's Calcium Waters. In patients
sufterlng from boils and pimples and
even deep-seated carbuncles, have
repeatedly seen them dry up and dis
appear in four or five days, leaving
the skin clear and smooth. Although
Stuart's Calcium Waters is a propri-
etary article and sold by druggists
and for that reason tabooed by many
physicians, yet 1 know of nothing SO
safe and reliable for constipation,
liver and kidney troubles and especial
~ in all forms of skin diseases as
this remedy"
At any rate people who are tired of
pills. cathartics and so-called blood
purifiers will find in Stuarts Calcium
Waters, far safer. more palatable
and effective preparation. l-11-1S-25.
