State, Against the Ladies' Home
journal. &

A verdict has been rendered in
favor of the plaintiff in the libel suit
brought against the Ladies Home
Journal published by the Curtis Pub
fishing Coz by the Worlds Dis
pensary Medical Association, of which
DR.. r. V. Pierce is president The
suit was brought by Doctor Pierce
against the Curtis Publishing Co.,
for making false statements about one
Of his standard family medicines
known as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. In the May number of the
Ladies Home Journal Q904), Mr.. Ed
ward Box. the editor, stated that DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription con-
tanned alcohol and some other harm
full ingredients, and DR.. Pierce had
in the action alleged that the defend
ant maliciously published this article
containing such false and defamatory
matter. DR.. Pierce further claimed
that no alcohol is or ever was con-
tanned In his "Favorite Prescription,
that said medicine was a vegetable
preparation and contained no dele
FERROUS ingredients whatever; that Mr.
Bok's statement, pretending to give
some Of the ingredients OF said medi-
cine, was wholly and absolutely
false. During the trial, the Vice.
President of the Worlds Dispensary
Medical Association stated, that the
ingredients of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription were extracted from the
following native roots: Golden Seal.
Blue Cohosh, Lady's Slipper, Black
Cohosh and Unicorn, by means of
pure glycerine He was asked how
he knew, as a physician and ex-
perienced medical man, that the "Fa-
vorite Prescription" was cure for
the diseases peculiar to women, such
as amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, ante
version retro-version, and he stated
that he knew such was the fact be-
cause Of HIS professional experience
and the many thousands Of women
whose ills had been cured by this
Prescription The President,
being asked to give his authorities,
read from the standard works, such
as the United States Dispensatory,
The American Dispensatory and many
other standard medical books.
The retraction printed by the Cur
It's Publishing Company two months
after the libelous statements appeared
and nearly two months after the suit
had been begun stated definitely that
analyses had been made at their re.
quest and that the "Fayorite Prescrip-
lion" did not contain either alcohol.

ty-fve injured and from twenty-five
to seventy-five missing and believed
to be dead as the result of an ex-
plosion of gas in the shaft of the Cen
fury Coal Company at Century, a
small mining town situated fifty miles
south of Paramount, on the Belling-
ton & Buckhannon branch of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad. The ex-
plosion took place at 4:30 but owing
to the telephone wires being put out
Of commission by the high winds
made details difficult to get and the
names of the victims, six of whom are
known to be foreigners, were not Sc
cured at late hour.
The Century mine, which is owned
by Shaw Bros, Of Baltimore, is one of
the largest Independent operations in
northern West Virginia. Over $50
men are employed daily in the shaft,
and had the explosion been an hour
earlier the loss Of life would have
been appalling AS 1t was, there were
but a few remaining in the Shaft, the
main body of the miners having quit
work for the day. The giant fan
which furnishes air for the shaft was
partially wrecked by the force Of the
explosion, but was repaired imme.
diately and within an hour after the
accident Superintendent James Ward
had relief gang in the mine.
( The first trip out brought ten men
five dead and five badly burned.
They were found in the main heading
near the bottom of the shaft. The
living could give no details of the ex.
plosion, saying that they were on
their way to the surface when the ex-
plosion took place behind them.
A second expedition Immediately
went down and explored the main
heading, which was found to be i'm
injured by the explosion except that
the brattices were blown out.
-Four more bodies were found In
this heading and twenty injured men
were making their way toward the
bottom Of the shaft and We're brought
10 the surface by the rescuers.

RUSSIAN Ambassador UnWlttlngly
Helps to Advertise Show.
The press agent of theatrical COM
pany which was about to open In
Washington conceived the brilliant
idea of writing to Baron Rosen, the
Russian ambassador, asking him If 1t
was true that he contemplated re-
questing the state department to have
an act eliminated from the play.
There is a scene in which Russian
spy tries to bride an American army
officer to sell him some military in
formation. The press agent wrote to
the ambassador in panic,stricken
way, desiring to be posted at once on
whether this fell rumor was true. The
good baron took bait, line and anchor.
He wrote dignifed and kindly letter
to the press agent assuring him that
he was safe from any action by Rus
STA. The press agent was delighted
with the success Of his scheme so far,
but on handing his story in at vari-
Gus newspaper offices found himself
unable to get 1t into print.

's4IPPEr3 SCHEME 70 GET RE-
DUcED FREIGHT RATES.
An INVESTIGATION IS NOW on.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Take, a HAND :. The FEEDER
a Grand Jury Is Now Wrestling
With the Sugar Trust.

Washington, March 2e.-The inter.
state commerce commission gave out
for publication the following notice:
Upon reports to the commission
that many shippers in and about the
city Of New York have been persist
emily underbilling and misrepresent-
Ing freight shipped by railroads from
that city and other points in eastern
territory, the commission has ordered
an investigation and set the matter
down for hearing at the United States
court room. New York City, on Fri
day, March %, at 1920 a. m. 1t is
expected that some highly interest
ing developments will take place indi-
eating fraud on the part Of the ship
pers which amount to forced rebates
from published tariff rates"
The members Of the commission
were loath to give any of the details
which led to the decision to conduct
the investigation but the information
was impaired that beyond question
the underbilling was intentional and
that the shipments were deliberately
misclassified In order to secure the
lower freight rates. No one at the
Offices Of the commission was willing
to admit that the railroads were a
party to the alleged frauds. Many
witnesses have been subpoenaed to
be present at the hearing. gnp.
A member of the committee stated
that the commission proposes to go
to the very bottom of the alleged
frauds and false description of prop
erty. They will, he said, see what the
investigation develops before enter
ing into discussion of the question
of criminal prosecution.
'In this instane-, ;" said the mem
Der, I'VE will most assuredly apply
the corrective of publicity. The hear
ing had reference to alleged frauds
by shippers through under billing,
false description Of property and 9th
err similar devices.
THE inquiry in New York will have
special reference to merchandise traf-
fc shipped from that city usually in
less than car load quantities.
1T is reported to the committee
that in numerous instances shippers
actually sending articles that belong
in one of the higher classes describe
by different name which would
place them in lower class and so get
the advantage Of the lower rate. This
operates not only to defraud the car
riers Of the revenues to which they
are entitled. but also has the effect of
a serious discrimination against the
honest shipper who must meet his
in common markets. To
what extent practices Of this kind will
be disclosed or what concerns In or
about New York are implicated am
unable to state. but 1t is expected that
some rather interesting disclosures |
will be the result of the investiga-
tion."
New York-The federal grand jury
resumed its investigation of the re-
batting between the American Sugar
Company and the west
bound trunk lines running out of New
York City. as complained of by Will
lam R. Hearst. Among the witnesses
who were examined were r. M. Par
xer and T. P. Riley, who are said to
% connected with the traffic depart
nent of the Sugar Company, and T.
A. Meunch and w. ]. Whitaker. AS
Usual the examinations were made
