had already been passed by the house
but will go back on a few amend
ments originating in the senate.
Owing to the large anti dispensary
majority in the house, the measure
will undoubtedly become a law.
The bill provides that elections
shall be held in the various dispen-
sary counties in May next, allowing
county dispensaries or prohibition
as the voters see fit, The eighteen
prohibition counties remain dry for
two years more.
The house has already passed bill
providing for the winding up Of the
affairs Of the state dispensary. This
measure calls for an executive COM
mittee of seven bonded members,
who shall have entire control of the
state establishment. They< are al
lowed S. per day and expenses, their
pay to cease January IL, 1908.
The passing Of the state dispensary
marks a new era in South Carolina
politics, the liquor question having
been the leading one in this state for
IA years.
To the press and pulpit of the state
may be attributed the downfall of the
institution.

Chicago, Feb. 12.-The Union tel
egraph operators employed by the
Western Union in Chicago will take a
vote next Sunday on the question of
going on strike to enforce certain
demands that have been made on the
company. This action was decided
upon Tuesday night, after COM
mittee appointed by the local branch
of the union, to negotiate with the
officials of the company reported back
to headquarters that they had failed
in their object. The telegraphers
made demand for a wage increase
of 10 per cent and the reinstatement
of several of their fellow workers,
whom the company discharged be-
cause of the affiliation with the union.

ARMY ROASTED BY BURBANK.
Officer, Whose Filipino Wife Caused
His Trouble, Out of Pen.


Leavenworth, Kans., Feb. 13.-
Lieutenant Sidney S. Burbank
was released from the federal peniten-
tiary here Tuesday after serving
nearly fifteen mQnths.
Burbanks engagement in 1903 to a
prominent society woman of Leayen-
worth precipitated a suit by his Fill
ipiuo wife, Mrs. Conception Vasques,
of Valladolid, Occidental Negros, who
filed her claims with the war depart
ment to prevent the marriage. Two
years ago Burbank returned to the
Philippines with his regiment, and
the Filipino woman filed an action in
the civil courts for abandonment and
non support. She was granted sep
aration, and Burbank was ordered to
pay her $50 month alimony for
the support of their child. Later
Burbank was tried by courtmartial,
and convicted of embezzling company
funds and of other conduct unbe-
coming an officer and a gentleman.
Burbank asserted that he had been
the victim of conspiracy, and was
convicted because he lacked influ
ence.
"There are dozens of army officers
who are living with these Filipino
women" declared he; but they are
fortunate enough to escape the clutch
es of the blackmailers. l fell into
their grasp"
Burbank declared that in a short
time he would tell everything he
knows about his case, and when he
does, it will cause one of the great
est sensations in army affairs in re-
cent years.
81 am through with the Yankee
Doodle army" he said, "and would
not wear the uniform of an officer
again if | could.
Burbank denied the truth of the ru-
NOR that he is to marry the Leaven-
worth woman to whom he became en-
gagged while stationed at Fort Leav-
enWorth,
II do not want her name dragged
into my case again" he said.

Austin, Tex, Feb. 13 When
Representative Cooke was asked
whether he had any more witnesses
to come before the committee, and
what he intended to prove by ythem,
he replied that there were six or sew
en- additional witnesses whom he de-

that there was one witness whom he
had asked for at first he was very de-
sirOus to have come. This was j .
D. Suggs, Of Iron county, who had
been summoned but had been prevent
ed by illness from coming before the
committee. He said he expected to
prove that Suggs has, or had destroy
ed a note for 81, 900 given to him,
or his dead brother by Senator Bal
ley.
Senator Bailey Indignantly replied!
Mr.. Chairman, that is a lie. 1t is
infamy to allow any man stand here
and make a statement that is a down.
right malicious lie, and a lie made
out of whole cloth"
Chairman O'Neil said that he
thought the statement was uncalled

No medicine extant has such long

ha Bit forming drug is to be found in the
list of its ingredients printed on each

In any condition of the female system,
DR.. Pierce'S Favorite Prescription can do
only good-never harm. Its whole effect
Is to strengthen, invigorate and regulate
the whole female system and especially
the pelvic organs. When these are de-
ranged in function or affected by disease,
the stomach and other organs of digestion
become sympathetically deranged, the
nerves are weakened, and long list of

REGULATIONS
MAKE TROUBLE

The new set of regulations governing
shipments via the Tehuantepec route
have been received at the Custom
House. Had the regulations arrived
some days ago. before the s. s. Arizo-
nan was cleared, their enforcement
might have caused considerable trouble
to the local customs officials.
Under the provisions of the new reg
ulations 1t would seem that 1t was re-
quired Of the inspectors at this port
to check every piece of cargo that was
loaded into vessels bound for Salina
Cruz. Inasmuch as two or more
matches are constantly worked aboard
the big American Hawaiian freight
steamers loading sugar during their
stay in this port and at other island
ports, the customs inspectors would
have a very laborious task. In fact
the work that such application of the
regulations would involve would more
than tax the present force of inspec-
tors. At least four or more extra men
would be required on duty during every
day and night that the vessels were In
port. Such an enforcement of the reg
ulations would seem to be unnecessary
and, incidentally. expensive.
Inasmuch as the carsoes have to be
checked at both sides of the Mexican
coast, an additional checking at any
Hawaiian port would appear to be USE,
less. 1t Is more than probable. how
ever. that the new regulations. which
bear the date of December 10, 1906, were
intended to apply to the transfer and
shipment aboard the cars In Mexico
and not at Honolulu or any other 49,
land port.
Acting Collector Stackable declined
to make any statement yesterday
afternoon, relative to this feature of
the new regulations and the possible
annoyance that its application might
cause his force.
The Arizonan was cleared here be-
fore the new set of regulations were
received from Washington. so there has
been no opportunity of putting them
into operation. If the regulations
should be given the literal application
that their provisions would imply, 1t
would cause a great deal OF trouble
to all parties concerned, in Hawaii

THE COMMERCIAL
CLUB TAKES LEASE

Gas was downed yesterday in order
that the Commercial Club might live.
1t will be remembered that at a meet
ing of that organization theother dayit
was decided to reject the lease for the
clubs quarters in the new McCandless
building at the corner of King and
Bethel streets. The reason for this ac-
ton was the insistence by the MeCand-
less brothers that only electricity
should be used for illuminating pur-
poses. The club had no particular OBJ
lection to the use of electricity, but
they did not want to be told that they
would use electric lights or go around
in the dark.
After it was decided by a small ma
jority to reject the lease, a fear sprung
up in the breasts of a few of the mem
bers that the organization might dis
band in the event of suitable quarters
not being found at an early date. Sew
eral places were suggested, but nothing
that was suitable was available, con-
sequently movement tending to a re-
consideration of the vote was started.
1t was shown to one of those who vot,
ed against the acceptance of the lease
that the owners of the building had
yielded every point until 1t came to the
question of lighting, and there Mr.. Nc
Candless, who is president of the Ha-
waiian Electric Light Co., baked.
When this was made clear to the men,
Der he said he would propose recon-
sideration of the vote If meeting was
called.

terday afternoon, and beside a liberal
attendance of the members, there were
proxies to burn, and every one in favor
of reconsideration. In order that the
matter might be brought before the
meeting, Mr.. Won Holt moved that a
committee be appointed to select a new
site for the clubs quarters. There was
a lively discussion of this question be-
fore n vote was taken and in the mean
time Mr.. Lydecker moved that the vote
at the previous session be reconsidered.
