Face and Neck Affected itching At
NightWas Unbearable Attended
BY Six Doctors-Used Arsenic
Treatment Three Months, But
FOUND CUTICURA
THE ONLY CURE

"I had suffered nearly all my life
with eczema Of the face and neck. It
troubled me mostly at night when tbs
itching would become unbearable and
kept me awake a good part Of each
night. I had at least six doctors at
different times attending me, but none
Of them could effect a permanent cure.
One OF them gave me arsenic and /
tried that for three months, but il did
little good, if any. / read Cutieura
advertisement IN the paper about one
year ago and decided 20 try the treat
ment. I used only two cakes Of Cuti-
cura Soap, one box Of CUticura ONT
ment. and one bottle Of Cuticura Re
solvent. 1t gave me great relief, but
after had stopped using Il for q month
the eczema came back. As the Cuti-
cura treatment was the only thing that
gave me any relief I started il again and
persisted with IL until I was entirely
cured, which took from FIVE 70 six
months, and I have not been troubled
since. / still use the soap as it has such
good healing qualities and does not
iTritate the s1ln as the general run Of
soap does. / highly recommend the
Cuticura Remedies 70 any one troubled
with skin or scalp diseases of any kind.

MILL MEN WIN IN
IMMIGRATION CASE
Government Counsel InStructS
Jury for FuaorabIe Verdict
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Issues Statement Concerning Opinion
Submitted to Roosevelt BY Bona
parte as immigrants Being
Legally Here.
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Greensboro, ~ c. March THE PEN
atty suits against L. A. Smith and SUM
ner IS. Sargent. the Charlotte mill men,
who We're sued for S71 900 in penalties, ON
account of alleged violations OF the i'm
migration act. ended rather suddenly and
unexpectedly late today. Upon motion
of counsel for the government. the jury
was instructed to bring verdict in
favor of the defendants. The other civil
case was non-suited and the case for
conspiracy was mol pressed. The de-
PENDANTS were charged with importing
seventy-one English cotton mill hands.
1t was alleged in the complaints that
the cotton mill owners employed Costello
to go to England to hire labor for their
mills and that in pursuance of this agree
ment Costello went and by promises, con-
tracts and agreements, secured the con-
sent of the aliens to come to America.
1t was also alleged that Costello prepaid
their passage and gave them SHOW
money.
The defendants offered as n defense
that Costello exceeded his authority as
agent. Judge Boyd held that the gov
ernment must show that the defendants
shared in the unlawful purpose with
Costello. The defendants also contended
that as there was not enough skilled
labor of like kind unemployed In this
country, they were not amenable to the
law.
The defendants brought cotton mill men
from every section of the country to
testify that there Is a great scarcity of
cotton mill help. 1t was shown that there
are millions of dollars worth of ma
chinery standing idle in the mills of the
south and east on account of the scarcity
of Ia Dor. The department Of labor and
commerce has taken great interest in
these suits, and that department is really
responsible for the institution Of the
cases. Assistant Attorney General Cooley
appeared with local attorneys for the

on account of the weak heart action. To-
night at 1920 the case is more favorable,

The first change for the worse was
noted late Wednesday night, and three
physicians spent the night at the White
House and were Joined early this morn
ing by DR.. Rixey. After consultation
the President decided to summon DR..
Lambert, who had returned to New York
Sunday night. The change in Archie S
condition was reported at 2:30 in the after
noon when Secretary Loeb gave out this
bulletin:
Archie has had a severe attack of diph-
iberia. He has done well until today,
when there was short spell of depres-
sion with weak heart action. This. now

San Francisco Mayor Pleads
Not Guilty Of ExloTtiOn
RUEF is STILL IN HIDING
Developments Favor Prosecution-Jus-
tice Denies Writ to Restrain Judge
Dunno From Proceeding
Against Political Boss.

San Francisco, March Mayor Eu-
gene Schmitz appeared before Superior
Judge Dunno today and pleaded not
guilty to four indictments charging MN
with extortion. By agreement of counsel
next Monday was designated as the time
when a date for his trial will be set
Success was with the prosecution at al
most every turn in todays development
in the Reuf extortion case The most not
able instance was in the district court OF
appeals, where Justices Cooper, Han
and Kerrigan again denied Reuts appil-
cation for write of prohibition to re-
strain Judge Dunno from any of the pro-
ceedings against Ruef in the superloR
court. pending the determination of the
accused mans appeal to the supreme
court of the United States for a perma-
nent writ of error, the effect OF whlch
if granted would be to summarily post
pone the entire prosecution.
While the attorneys for Ruef, who is
still in hiding, supposedly in or near san
Francisco. were hopefully awaiting the
decision of the appeal court, Judge
Dunno proceeded with the two cases OIL
perjury and conspiracy against Ruet ana
Chief of Police Dineen. He was op-
durate to the endeavors of Attorney
Shortridge to win delay for Ruef. Mo-
lions to strike the case from the MES
and TO set aside the indictments were
denied and to escape the imminent neces-
sjty of pleading a once Ruefs counsel
entered a demurrer, which had been pre-
ylously prepared to meet this emergency
should it arise
Arguments on this were set for tomor-
row morning. 80
Coroner Walsh. delegated in SheriH
O'Neilrs stead to apprehend Ruef after
the court had declared the sheriff lncom-
petent, reported his failure and was
given until tomorrow morning to make
good. Failing then, Judge Dunno VIII
probably appoint an elsor to bring the
fugitf.e in1o court.
Shortly before o'clock this afternoon
counsel for Ruef made application to the
state supreme court for identicaliy the
same writ of prohibition refused earlier
in the day by the district court OF ap-
peals Pending the determination of TINS
move. ii is thought the purpose OF Judge
Duuue is to go right ahead with the case,

for the defense to produce Ruef in Judge
Dunne's court while the matter thus
stands.
