the successful outcome of the long
conference will have marked effect
upon the attitude of the senate to-
ward the measure. Mr.. Hepburn and
the other Republicans agreed to accept
the wording of the Democratic bill in
the provision for the fixing of the
maximum rate. The amendment which
was accepted provided that the COM
mission shall fix lust, reasonable
and fairly remunerattVe rate, which
shall be the maximum rate"
1t was maintained by the Democrats
that under the original Hepburn word
ing the commission was required to
fix the highest Of the Just, reasonable
and fairly remuneratiVe" rates in case
there were several such rates. Chair
man Hepburn and the Republicans do
not believe there is any difference in
the two workings. but are perfectly
willing to accept the language Of the
Davie bill.
The amended bill also provides for
seven members of the interstate COM
merce commission instead of nine as
was provided in the original Hepburn
bill.
Another amendment incorporated at
the request of the Democrats provides
that in cases where no damages are
assessed the commission may simply
state it's conclusion and need not set
forth its findings
A section of the Davie bill requiring
that the attorney general In appealed
cases shall file the certificate necessary
to expedite the hearing was incorpor-
ated in the amended bill Another
amendment provides that orders of the
commission shall continue in force for
three years unless repealed.
No existing cases are to be affected
by the bill, and all laws relating to
witnesses and the conducting of hear
ings before the commission are to be
continued.
Mr.. Hepburn expects to make IA
vorable report on the bill to the house
tomorrow and expresses confidence that
the measure will be considered by the
house within q week.

their strength is increasing as the

"SEE AMERICA FIRST"
PLAN WELL SUPPORTED
MANY DELEGATES ALREADY IN
SALT LAKE
Indications Are That the Gathering
Will Be a Great Success-lt Will
Open Thursday Morning and Con-
tinue Two Days
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Jan. "a
Delegates to the See America First
conference are already arriving In the
city from every section of the west, as
we'll as from various eastern localities
1t is significant of the Widespread in
terest that attaches to this patriotic
movement that the first representative
delegate to arrive came from New YORK
city. 1t is apparent that the gather
ing will be numerically successful and
those who have already reached the
city are enthusiastic over the possibili-
ties of this proposed propaganda.
First on the ground were the pub
licty experts from New York and Chi
cago. Some of them came with plans
of organization fully prepared for sub
mission to the Commercial clubs spe-
cial committee. All of them express
the belief that it is possible to make
this movement an exceedingly practical
one in every respect. They agree that
if rightly organized and perfected 1t
cannot fail to be of far-reaching effect
and of vast Importance to the entire
country.
The conference will be called to order
at 10 o'clock Thursday morning, jan
uary %, by Former Governor Heber
M. Wells, president of the Salt Lake
Commercial club. President Wells will
introduce John c. Cutler, governor OF
Utah, who will welcome the delegates
on behalf of the state. other similar
welcoming addresses will be made, AND
the response will be given by George
Il. Chamberlain, governor of Oregon
who will preside over the temporary
organization
The permanent chairman will Their
be appointed and after the usual pre-
liminaries of organization Fisher Har'
ris, secretary of the special Seeing
America committee, will present the
plan formulated by this committee or
behalf of the Salt Lake Commercial
club, and with the assistance of promi
nent publicity men of the west.
1t is believed that the consideration
of this plan of organization will take
up most of the first day of the con-
ference. In the evening the delegates
will be entertained by grand patriotic
concert at the great Tabernacle of the
Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints.
An address by DR.. Roland D. Grant
Of Vancouver. one Of the greatest au-
thorities and intense admirers of Amer
lean scenery, will also be a feature of
the first day.
The second day of the conference will
probably see the completion of the gen.
eral plan of organization and will be
largely devoted to the discussion OF
ways and means, including the method
of financing this project of continental
scope and importance. In the evening
the Commercial club will entertain
with banquet, and on the toast list
will appear the names of some of the
best after-dinner speakers west Of the
Mississippi river.
The conference is scheduled for only
two days, but If necessary it's sessions
will be continued one day longer. This
however, is hardly considered possible
under the circumstances.

WHAT 1T MEANS TO YOU
Few People Realize the Importance Of Good
Digestion Until II Is Lost

Many people suffer from dyspepsia
and do not know It, They feel mean,
out of sorts, peevish, do not sleep well,
do not have a good keen appetite, do
not have the inclination and energy
for physical or mental work they once
had, but at the same time do not feel
any particular pain or distress in the
stomach. Yet all this is the result OF
poor digestion, an insidlous form of
Dyspepsia which can only be cured by
remedy specially intended to cure
It and make the digestive organs act
naturally, and properly digest the food
eaten. Bitters after dinner pills and
nerve tonics will never help the trout
BILE: they don't reach IT. The new
medical discovery does. It is called
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and is o
specific for dyspepsia and indigestion.
It cures because 1t thoroughly digests
all wholesome food taken into the
stomach. whether the stomach is in
good working order or not.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by digest
ing the food instead of making the
worn out stomach do all the work,
gives il a much needed rest and q cure
of dyspepsia is the natural result.
When you are nervous, run down
and sleepless, don't make the common
mistake of supposlng your nervous
system needs treatment and fill your
stomach with powerful nerve tonics
which make you feel good for q little
while only to fall back farther than
ever
Your nerves are all right but they
are starved, they want food.
NouriSh them with wholesome every
day food and plenty of it, well d.
gested, and you can laugh at nerve
tonics and medicine.
But the nerves will not be nour-
ished from a weak, abused stomach,
but when the digestion has been made
perfect by the use of this remedy all
nervous symptoms disappear.
Who ever heard Of a man or woman
blessed with vigorous digestion and
good appetite being troubled with
their nerves?
Good digestion means a strong ner-
vous system, abundance of energy,
and capacity to enjoy the good things
Of life.
Stuart's Dyspepsit Tablets will GER
tainly set your stomach and digestive
organs right; they can't help but do
it because they nourish the body by
digesting the food eaten, and rest the
stomach.
You get nourishment and rest at one
and the same time, and that is all the
worn out dyspeptic needs to build him
up and give new life to every organ
and an added zest to every pleasure.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a
godsend to the army of men and
women with weak stomachs and
nerves and justly merits the claim of
being one of the most worthy medical
discoveries of the time.

EIGHT.HoUR LAW STANDS
House Decides 1t Cannot Be Abro-
GATED for the Canal
BY Assoclated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The eight
hour law cannot be abrogated for work
on the Panama canal, and canal COM
misSioners cannot receive additional
compensation beside their salaries as
commissioners. These two changes in
the urgent deficiency appropriation bill
now under consideration by the house
was the net result of today's session.
Innumerable amendments seeking to
perfect the bill, as the canal ground
purchases, purchases of coal for the
navy, ETC., consumed time in discus
sion, but met defeat when a vote was
taken.
When the session ended about half
of the bills had been considered. 1t
will be laid aside tomorrow when the
statehood bill is to be brought in and
to have the right of way until dis
posed of. The two amendments which
prevailed in the bill were secured with
out discussion. The eight-hour day
provision went out on a point Of order
as "new legislation" made by Mr.. Will
Hams, the minority leader, and was
Immediately sustained by Mr.. Sherman,
I'm the chair. The limitation of the
salaries of commissioners was offered
by Mr.. Fitzgerald of New York and
accepted by the committee.
Mr.. De Almond of Missouri offered
a number of amendments which had as
their object the requiring of European
competition in the purchase of canal
supplies Each amendment went out
by Republican votes on the statement
of Mr. Tawney, chairman of the ap-
propriations committee, that this com

LONDON, Jan. 23.-Special dispatches
from Vienna to the morning London
newspapers are inclined to attribute
the strained relations between Austria
Hungary and Servia partly to the wan
ing influence of King Peter.
The king is reported as being pow
erless to control the policy of his cab
met, owing to the growth of radical
and republican influences which, it is
said, appear to threaten the position of
the Servian dynasty.
The correspondent of the Daily Mail
says:
at is believed in Austria that the
days of the Karageorgevitch dynasty
are numbered and that before a year
has elapsed King Peter and his family
will be expelled.
king Peters court is virtually boy
cotted by the European courts owing
to suspicious that he had foreknowledge
of the murder of King Alexander and
Queen Drago and already a strong
party is trying to place a German
prince on the Servian throne"
