FORAKER SHOUTS
CHEAT AND FRAUD
OHIOAN ATTACKS PROVISION
IN RATE BILL
Court Review Feature Obnoxious to
Senator - Mr.. Cochran Makes
Feature Speech in the
House
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-After a
brief speech by Mr.. Latimer in support
of the house railroad rate bill, Mr..
Foraker today took the floor on that
measure and consumed practically all
of the remainder of the days session of
the senate. He spent some time in the
discussion of some amendments he has
suggested to the bill, and then entered
upon consideration of the entire rail-
road rate regulation, urging against the
unconstitutionality of the pending bill
from various points of view He was
frequently interrupted by other selia-
tors.
Mr. Foraker declared that a greater
Cheat and humbug" could not be con-
ceived than the court review suggested
in the bill. Mr.. Clapp expected that
the purpose of the bill was to carry into
effect the orders of the committee, and
the provisions for taking a case to the
courts was for a mere supplemental
proceeding and that it goes as far as Is
necessary.
"Why is the senator attdcking that
provision?" he asked, and Mr.. Foraker
responded by adding to the words al
ready employed: Because" he said
'it is a fraud and cheat and hum
bug, and / am going to expose it as
such"
DuTu6H OF IHSSTIOT
Referring to the fact that the rates
charged for transcontinental freight
ing were lower than the rates to in
, terror points, Mr.. Tillman declared that
the system was burden on the in
terror towns.
Mr.. Foraker defended the system as
the best that could be devised, and sue-
gested that the people of the interior
we're suffering from disadvantages i'm
posed by the almighty in creating tho
world"
Mr.. Lodge spoke briefly on the dis
tinction between the rates ON goods
for domestic consumption and on those
intended for export, saying that there
was no country that did not make
lower rates to control the foreign
markets.
Mr.. Culberson presented concurrent
resolution, including senators and mem
bers of the house in the bill prohibiting
officials of the government from pre-
maturely giving out private informa
tion of the government, and 1t was
adopted.
Indian Report Accepted
The conference report on the bill pro
vidng for the settlement of the af
fairs of the five civilized tribes of In
dams was accepted without further de
bate by vote of Al to II.
Mr. Latimer then spoke on the rat'
bill. After charging that the con
solidation of transportation facilities
has reached a climax where the peopl'
are powerless to prevent abuse of rail
road power, he said he would be glat
to see the pending bill pass with 81
amendment distinctly forbidding an!
interference by the courts with tn

Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-13

All observing people must have
noticed q growing sentiment in this
country in favor of using only put-up
foods and medicines of known COM
position. 1t is but natural that one
should have some interest in the COM
position of that which he is expected
to swallow, whether it be food, drink
or medicine. This sentiment has re-
suited in the introduction in the legis-
latures of many of the States, as also
in the Congress of the United States,
bills providing for the publication oi
formula or ingredients on wrappers
and labels of medicines and foods put
up for general consumption.
Recognizing this growing disposition
on the part of the public generally,
and satisfied that the fullest publicity
tation of his proprietary medicines,
DIR. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
has "taken time by the forelock," as it
were, and is publishing broadcast, and
on each bottle wrapper, a full and COM
plete list of all the ingredients entering
into his medicines, "Golden Medical
Discovery" the popular liver invigor-
ator, stomach tonic, blood purifier and
heart regulator also of his "Favorite
Prescription" for weak, over-worked,
broken-down, debilitated, nervous, in
valid women.
This bold and out-spoken movement
on the part of DR.. Pierce, has, by
showing exactly what his well-known
medicines are composed of, completely
disarmed all harping critics who have
heretofore unjustly attacked them. A
little pamphlet has been compiled,
from the standard medical authorities
of all the several schools OF practice,
showing the strongest endorsements by
leading medical writers of the several
ingredients which enter into Doctor
Pierce's medicines and recommending
these ingredients for the cure of the
diseases for which DR.. Pierce's medi-
cines are advised. A copy of this little
booklet is mailed free to any one desiring
to learn more concerning the valuable,
native, medicinal plants which enter
into the composition of DR.. Pierce's
medicines. A request, by postal card
or letter, addressed to DR.. R. V. Pierce,
Buffalo, N. Y, will bring this little
booklet by return post. 1t tells exactly
what ingredients are used in the max
Ing of DR.. Pierce's famous medicines.
This striking departure of DIR. Pierce
from the usual course pursued by the
manufacturers of proprietary medi-
cines, at once takes his medicines out
of the class generally known as
opatent" or secret medicines, neither
of which term is at all applicable to
them, as their formula now appears
on the wrapper of every bottle leaving
the great laboratory at Buffalo, N. Y.
1t places them in class all by them

alcohol, which fact alone should cause

and as entirely harmless vegetable ex-
tracts, made and preserved by the use
of glycerine and not with the usually
employed strong alcohol, which works
so much injury, especially in cases
where treatment, even though of the
best, must be continued for consider
able periods of time, in order to make
the cure permanent.
Many years ago, DR.. Pierce found
that chemically pure glycerine, of
proper strength, was far better than

Dr.. BayIess Seeks to Collect a Bill
Against Actor.Miner

Because "Scotty" did not pay him
for attendance while in the California
hospital, DR.. w. Gordon Bayless. house
physician for the Angelus, yesterday
sought to attach Scotts mule Slim.
AS fact a mule was attached, but
it was not Scott's mule. 1t was a
mule that is now taking Sims part
in the "Scotty, King of the Desert
Mine" play, and is hired one. Slim
is peacefully resting at Barstow.
The mule entered vigorous kicks at
being attached, and the barn in which
it was put looks as though it had been
struck by cyclone. Nevertheless Scott
played to a crowded house at the
Grand last night.
"Scotty" owns up to the fact that he
owes a bill, but declares that it is
exorbitant. He says he never will pay
the bill until it is reduced in size so
that it would fit an ordinary mans
pocket book.

RIVER NAVIGATION
THREATENS PEACE
SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES
HAVE HOT DISPUTES
Pan-Amerlcan Congress May Be
Called Upon to Decide Unex-
pected Observation-Disclosures
tion Amendment
by Associated Press.

Ry Associated Press.
WASHINGTON April 12.--Several of
the Spanish republics are
more interested in questions not con-
tained in the program for the Pan
American congress at Rio next July
than in the subjects agreed upon for
discussion. Although the program has
been decided upon, it is likely that
other questions will be laid before the
congress when it convenes.
The all important question to many
South American republics is the nav
igation of rivers passing through two
or more republics. Disputes more ag-
gravated than those which have arisen
over the boundary waters between the
United States and Canada have threat
ened the peace of South America re-
peatedly in recent years. Located as
many of the republics are, mountains
to the westward form d barrier to their
commerce, and the rivers are the chief
avenues of trade.
Shippers Discouraged
The Orinoco, Amazon and Plata
rivers and their numerous tributaries
form an inviting net of waterways for
the products of parts of Colombia, Bo-
livia, Peru and Ecuador. but the con-
ditions under which most of these
streams are open to interstate COM
merce have discouraged shippers.
An attempt to include the regulation
of interstate commerce in the Rio pro-
gram had the support of several of
the west coast republics, but Brazil
was not willing and discord was avoid
ed by not pushing the matter. Colom-
bia and Venezuela have had trouble
for years over the navigation of the
Orinoco and it's tributaries, but this
question of interstate commerce is
said to be one which will be satisfac
torily settled through the treaty now
pending between the two republics. AS
Venezuela is not a party to the Pan
American congress and shows no indi-
cations of relenting and sending rep
resentatives to Rio Janeiro, the action
of that body could not affect the Ori-
noco river navigation, but the naviga-
ton of the many streams which
traverse Brazil and Argentina in find
ing their way to the ocean was the sub
ject which the western powers hoped to
have satisfactorily disposed of.
May Amend Arbitration
Another subject of great moment
was the wording of the section relating
to arbitration. An attempt was made
to have this section framed in such a
way that arbitration might be extend
ed to disputes in the past. If this had
been done, Peru might have been able
to carry to The Hague it's old contro-
versy with Chile, concerning the Tao
ma and africa provinces and many other
celebrated boundary disputes might
have been reopened. But great care
was taken in wording the arbitration
provision in such manner that it will
not be retroactive.
However, this is not satisfactory in
its present form to many of the powers
which are to participate in the con-
gress, and an attempt to amend it Is
expected at Rio.

COCHRAN MAKES SPEECH
Defends Hepburn Rate 6ilI-Ridicules
Senate Debaters

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 12.-The fea-
ture of today's proceedings in the
house of representatives was the
speech made by Mr.. Cochran of New
York, who under an agreement made
on previous day was given an hour to
elucidate the subject of general de-
bate" on appropriation bills. In view of
the announcement that Mr.. Cochran
would speak, the galleries were crowded
and very large proportion of the
members of the house were in at
tendance.
Mr.. Cochran after short discus
sion of the fiction of general debate,
and the failure of members to attend
the sittings of the house, while sub
jects covering the widest possible lati-
tude were meing Illuminated, launched
out into a defense of the Hepburn rate
bill and the high position taken by
the house, not only in the exceptional
character of legislation, but in a dig
nified way in which the bill passed the
lower branch of congress. In this con-
nection he ridiculed the constitutional
debaters in the senate.
