IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.

Does your back ache, Do you get
up lame in the morning2 Do you feel
dull and tired7 Does it hurt you to
bend over. to lift anything, to get UP
from a chair? Do you have sudden
catches" or stitches of pain in the
back? Does dull throbbipg ache
settle in the small of your back and
bother you day and night? Do you
sometimes feel that you simply can
not straighten up?
If you do have backache, be careful
not to make the very common mistake
of treating it as a muscular trouble
Do not rub the sore place with hni-
ment, nor put on plasters, for the seat
of the trouble is insidc-in the kid
neys. which lie just beneath the small
of the back, on either side of the
spine.

overeating or overdrinking may start

blood 1t is this condition that sets
up the aching, and makes your back
so bad
You cannot make any mistake by
treating the kidneys at once, for it is
these small troubles that lead to
dropsy, diabetes and Bright's disease.

BARE BY FIRE

SANTA FE. NJ NJ, Nov. 23.--Reports
have reached here that prairie fire
has swept from Western Texas into
Eastern New Mexico. and that more
than a million acres of grazing and
homestead land has been burned bare.
No loss of life is reported in New Mex
leo, but ii is believed that several per-
sons perished in Texas.
It is estimated that 5000 TO 100, 900
head of cattle have been left without
grazing. Many ranchers are preparing
to ship their livestock at once to the
nearest market, while the larger ranch
ers will drive their cattle to other
ranges. The grass was short and the
cattle stampeded back and forth
through the fire. but suffered little in
jury.
Phe flames swept portions of Palmer,
Deaf, Smith and Oldham counties in
Texas and burned for thirty-five or
forty. miles to the Pecos road In New
Mexico. Some homesteaders in Roose-
welt County are said to have lost their
crops A number of ranch buildings
were burned. the ranchers generally
succeeded in heading off the flames by
back firing
A north wind turned the fire back
into its own track and 1t died out The
blackened prairie is now covered with
snow, which fell during and after the
fire.

PRESIDENT LEAVES OPENING
Innocent Brownsville Soldiers May In
dividualIy ExcuIpate themselves

WASHINGTON, Nov 23.-President
Roosevelt upon his return from Pan
anna will be beseged by delegations
that will ask him to reconsider the
case of the negro soldiers of the Twen-
ty-fifth Infantry, discharged without
honor because they declined to give
evidence regarding the shooting up
of Brownsvilles Tex. when one white
man was killed and another wounded.
Immediately on his arrival in this city
a large number of delegations, repre-
senting white and negro organizations
will call on the President and ask him
TO reopen the case.
The Presidents order directing the
discharge of these men will be execut-
ed before he returns TO Washington. as
the last man of the battalion will be
mustered out Monday Protests
against the action of the President are
still pouring into the War Department
It is not likely that the President will
rescind his order. thereby restoring all
the men to duty. but he has left the
matter in such shape that he can re-
store nearly all of the men if pressure
is strong enough
In his cablegram to the Secretary of
War, directing that his original dis
charge order be carried out President
Roosevelt said that the order for the
discharge of the men was issued after
the question had been given due con-
sideration and that the only matter to

DIsARMED MAN

Testimony TO the effect that the un-
known man killed by Ernest Denicke
at East and Lombard streets on April
20 was not only shot in the back by
Denicke as the man ran from the scene
of the trouble, but that he was shot
after he had dropped the gun he car
ried, was adduced yesterday in the trial
in Judge Cooks court.
Frank E. Vitale, an Italian who wit
messed the homicide. was on the stand
during the entire afternoon, answering
questions addressed to him through an

with that of Andrea Sbarbaro and o.
M. Goldaracena regarding their evil
dence that the victims back was turned
when the shots were fired Vitale at
ffrmed that he did not hear Denicke
utter any warning, and that he heard
the wounded man crying out. "Oh,
please, oh. pleasep' as he staggered
and fell. He also stated that the man
dropped the gun from his hands about
the time the first shot was fired by
henicke, and that the other two shots
followed quickly.
Henry Martin. a Belt Line foreman,
told of seeing the victims body lying
in the street and of conversing with
Denicke about the shooting during
essary to kill the man.
Il only did my duty" Denicke replied
TO Martin.
Did you have TO shoot him full of
holes TO do your dutye" asked Martin.
Il shot three times and never missed
him" Denieke answered
Senator Richard Weleh. who was in
command of the fire tugs along the
water front on the afternoon of April
20, testified TO having witnessed the
shooting, corroborating the testimony
of Banker Sbarbaro. Welch declared
that the marine with whom the de-
ceased ouarreled was the same one
whom Denieke had been called to quiet
that the marine was drunk, and that
the shots were fired while the slain
mans back was turned
Several heated arguments occurred
between the contendfng attorneys dur
ing the day in regard TO the admission
of certain evidence and the methods of

SURVEYING ROUTE
FOR BELT LINE

OAKLAND. Nov 23-Engineers In
the employ of the Union Belt Line Rail-
way are surveying in the Fruitvale
district. preliminary to the prepara-
ton of an application by the new road
for franchise along GIaseock street
from the city line eastward to Fruit
vale avenue. The application will be
made Monday before the Board of Su-
pervisors.
This new move IS intended TO give the
belt road an outlet by which 1t can
connect with the main line of the
Southern Pacific, and ultimately with
the Western Pacific system. Though
the belt road project has received sub
stantial and definite offers from the
Santa Fe system. the projectors of the
road have decided to give no railway
a preference. The franchises are to be
drawn SO there will be no possibility of
monopoly of the facilities. This has
been the backbone of the fight against
the Southern Pacific, and necessar rily
carries with it the support OF the Santa
Fe. which, because of it's present in
ability to reach the southern harbor
front. is desirous of seeing the belt
road project a success.
Extension of the line to Glascock
street is along the same route for
which the Southern Pacific Company
has made application for a franchise
1t is part of the original line blocked
out when the Southern Pacific Company
made known it's plan to run an sin
dustriaf' track from the main line a
Fruitva1e avenue westward, paraiIefing
the tidal canal and working along East
Oakland basin as far as Twenty-sec-
ond avenue. 1t was the refusal of the
Southern Pacific Company to agree to
an open" clause in the franchise that
led to the incorporation of the belt
line project by the manufacturers in
the district that was to be tapped by
the Industrial track.
That the Southern Pacific Company Is
taking an extraordinary interest in
the Development. along the harbor front
was manifested yesterday at the meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce. The
Hartman system was represented at
that conference on harbor fmprov efnent
by William F.. Herrin, it's chief counsel; !;
e. f. Calvin, general manager; W. S.
Palmer, general superintendent of the
northern district. and Charles s. Fee,
passenger traffic manager. This force
of officials presented an unusual array,
and gave notice to the assembled prop
erty owners, city officials and others
that the Southern Pacific Company was
deeply concerned in the situation.
The Western Pacific also was in evi-
dence, Virgil Bogue, vice president. and
the executive head of the Gould forces
in the West, being there.
The Improvement of the East Oak
land basin has important bearing upon
the belt line project. With deep water
facilities the shippers who have or
ganized to fight the closed track pol

BALLOTED AGAINST
HIS CONSCIENCE
". S. Dryden Says He Was
Forced to Vote for Acquit-
tai in the McNulty Case
SNEERs OF FOREMAN

OAKL.ANDe Nov. 2S--'T voted
against my conscience when I voted 10
acouit." said W S. Dryden, a juror in
the McNulty case, today. when he was
urged to explain why he had not held
out for a conviction when ne peIleNeo
that Dorothy Olsen had told the truth
concerning her experiences with the
Young Berkeley clubman and poliu-
clan.
Dryden declared in explaining his
final surrender to the other eleven
members of the jury that he was per
suaded to cast a not guilty ballot
on the ground that conviction seemed
10 be impossible and he could see no
use in forcing Miss Olsen 70 appear a
fourth time and recite her oft-repeated
story OF the attack she charged Nc
Nulty with having made
But Dryden also asserts that ne was
unfairly slUrred, insUlted and intimi-
dated by other jurors into agreeing TO
a verdict He averred tnat David
swain. the foreman, slurred Dorothy
Olsen and sneeringly commented upon
her mode of dress in a manner caleu-
lated TO inspire suspicion.
Dryden does not attempt TO attribute
improper influences as a cause OF the
pressure that was put upon him to
compel an agreement on acQuittal
Deputy District Attorney Everett ].
Brown. who charges that reliable in
formation reached him as to alleged
bribery of jurors IN the case has kept
his word He refused today 10 make
any statement concerning further
moves. just as he declared last night
he would do.
There is nothing more to say at
present" Quoth Brown.
A. l. Frick. counsel for McNulty.
said today that he was convinced no
money was used in his clients behalf.
He characterized SWANS effort 10 get
$3.50 from Brown as q campaign
touch"
I honestly believe" said Frick, that
II McNulty had been q person in ordi-
nary walks Of life he would have been
acquitted on the first ballot. I say this
without casting any aspersions upon
Miss Olsen's character"
