HUGHES TO SPEAK
IN WEST FOR TAFT
New York Governor Is Given the
Date Originally Assigned
TO Senator Foraker
Hitchcock Arranges for Tour as
Far as Kansas City in
October

NEW YORK. Sept 19.-Regardless of
whether Senator Foraker's defense of
his relations with the Standard oil
company. as evidenced by letters made
public by William R. Hearst, is deemed
sufficient to clear him of suspicion of
fmpropriety, there is a distinct feeling
here tonight that he will be eliminated
from consideration as a speaker for
the republican national ticket
Indications that such a move is on
foot appeared in the announcement
from the headquarters of Herbert Par
sons. chairman of the New York
county committee, that Governor
Hughes had been selected to make the
speech at the meeting to be held in
Camp Taft In this city on October /.
1t had been announced previously that
Senator Foraker would, be the principal
speaker at that meeting.
Governor Hughes came to New York
today and had conferences with Chair
man Hitchcock, several representatives
of the New York state committee and
with Chairman Parsons. His talk with
Hitchcock resulted in giving the ma
tional chairman a promise to assist in
the western and middle western cam
paigns.
1t was arranged that Governor
Hughes shall speak in Indiana, Ohio
and West Virginia on September %.

the meeting at Camp Taft on October

mainder of that week speaking in New
York state, but he will give the ma
tionai committee a full week in the

STORMS MAKE BIG
SHIP A PLAYThING
Mauretania, Queen of Turbine
Steamers, Is Swept by
Hurricanes
Propeller Blade Is Broken and
Vessel WaIIows in Trough
of the Waves

NEW YORK. Sept. 19.-For more than
half an hour last Wednesday the great
turbine steamer Mauretania. with all
her. cabins filled with frightened pas
sengers, rolled and pitched helplessiy
in mfdocean, with waves constantly
breaking over her decks. She had run
into the storm hours before, but had
been kept under headway until one or
her propeller blades flew off with a
noise that alarmed every one on board
So tremendous was the force of the
blow which the loosened propeller dealt
the ship that the whole middle section
seemed to rise, the flooring buckled un-
til the tacks from the carpet were
hurled against the ceilings and passen-
gers were thrown about the cabins. The
engines were stopped at once and the
big ship, losing her way, began TO
wallow in the trough of the seas, while
the passengers besieged the captain,
imploring him 10 tell the nature ana
seriousness of the accident. Every ef-
fort was made to quiet the frightened
persons, but the intense excitement did
not subside until the steamer started
once more on her way.
The compartment adjoining the pro-
peller Joints filled with water. 1t is
believed that the detached propeller
drove a hole in the steamers bottom.
The severe weather continued through
out the voyage, and yesterday when
sandy hook, at the gateway OF New
York harbor, was reached the steamer
ran into a fog bank, which compelled
her to lie at anchor for more than 1S
hours She came today into the harbor
and to her dock In the river.

in the Arkansas river 20 miles east of

Zimmerman lived just outside OF San

where the wholesale slaughter took
place. It became known several days
ago that Mrs. Zimmerman knew Dun

county Jail and see if she could fden-
tify the man there. This Mrs. Zlm-
norman was very much averSe to do

after a conversation with Mrs. Zim-
norman, in which he questioned her
closely about the affair. learned that
she was perfectly familiar with the
history of the crime, and asked her

ter a careful look at Hatfield, told Mr..
McAfee that he is undoubtedly James

MIA, and that he would be recognized
by any citizen of San Jose who had

change she noted was that he seemed
somewhat heavier and did not look as
smooth and genteel as when she knew

U. S. DISPENSATORY
Describes the Principal Ingredients
Contained I'm Pe-ru-na.

OOulot33tu W. TC~tu u-uUs
Arewe claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh7 Havews
abundant proofthat Peruna Is in real
ity such a catarrh remedy7 Let rs see
what the United States Dispensatory
says Of the principal ingredients Of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
Of this rbalremedy, that it Ia largely
employed in the treatment of fdepraved
mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis
nasal catarrh), atomic dyspepsia tca-
tarrh Of the stomach, chronic intesti-
nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice lea
tarrh of the liver, and in diseased
mucous membranes Of the pelvic
organs. It is also recommended for
the treatment Of various forms Of dis
eases peculiar to women.
Another ingredient Of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as a tonic. So also
is cubebs classed as stomachic and as
tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is anotheringredient Of
Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found in
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispensatory says Of the action
of cedron that it is used as a bitter
tonic and in the treatment Of dysen-
terry, and in intermittent diseases as q
substitute for quinine.
Oil Of copaiba, another ingredient
Of Peruna, is classed by the United
States Dispensatory as mild stimu-
liant and diuretie. Itacts on the stom-
ach and intestinal tract. It acts as a
stimulant on the genito-urinary mem
branes. Useful in chronic cystitis,
chronic dysentery and diarrhea, and
some chronic diseases Of the liver and
kidneys.
Send to us for a free book Of testi-
monials Of what the people think Of
Peruna as a catarrh remedy. The best
evidence is the testimony Of those who
have tried it.

WHEELER EXPLAINS
HINDUS' EXCLUSION
Caste of East indians Causes
Them Difficulty in Finding
Employment
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON. Sept. ls.-Assistant
Secretary Wheeler OF the department
OF commerce and labor said today that
a misapprehension had arisen as to the
authority Of the department to exclude
Hindus who are coming TO the Pacific
coast They are not excluded as '-un-
desirable" aliens, as reported, since
there is no authority Of law for such
action.
East Indians have no treaty rights
whatever and may be excluded under
the immigration act whenever they are
likely to become public charges.
The Hindus viii not work in gangs
with other laborers on account of their
caste customs and contractors are not
willing TO give them messes of their
own. So they cannot get employment
and become beggars.
Fifty dollars. the sum usually re-
garded as sufficient for an immigrant,
IS not enough for Hindu who can not
hnd work, so the department insists
that Hindus shall furnish proof OF their
ability TO support themselves before
permitting them to enter
