Goulds Withdraw Charter.

The application for q charter for the
Fredericksburg and Southern road has
been withdrawn from the state corpora
ton commission. The check for the char
ter fees has been returned and the mat
ter is ended so far as the commission Is
concerned. The reason given for this is
that the company is to make application
for a charter along broader lines and To
practically parallel the Richmond, Fred
ericksburg and Potomac from this city to
the Potomac river. This was the an
nouncement made today by H. w. Ander-
son of counsel for the company. just
when the application is to be made is not
known. but 1t will be at no distant GATE.
for with the depression and dullness in
the labor conditions it will be possible to
build the line at considerably less at this
time than two years ago. 1t is expected
that work will begin during the spring
and that 1t will be rushed speedily.
The general assembly will proceed to try
Judge Blackstone March %. 1t has been
decided to extend the session for thirty
days from March 8: to take a recess from
March IL to March %. The members Will
thus return to the city at that time and
proceed with the hearing Of the case. and
there is to be no extra session OF that
body. The members will receive nothing
except their travelling expenses for the
second trip to Richmond. Han an extra
session been called it would have meant
printing and reporting that would have
brought the total up to at least S5O,OOO.
Judge Blackstone is i'll in this city, and
when asked regarding the revived report
that ne would resign and escape the
odium of removal he said emphaticaiy
that he will fight to the end. He Is to be
tried on charges of gross imDorality and
neglect of official duties. There Is no ques-
ton of his removal He declares that II
he is removed he will stand for the gen.
eral assembly two years from now and
that he will be elected.
Gov Swanson has given out state
ment in which he repeats his former ut
terance that the people Of the state shall
elect the members Of the state corporation
commission. Some months ago he said
the same thing and bill to this end has
passed the senate twice. 1t was defeated
In the house. but 1t Is again before that
body. The. governor says that because OF
the powers vested in the members of that
body 1t is but right and proper that they
should be elected by the people, to whom
they are directly responsible. This will
prevent the repetition of any such affair
as that which engaged the attention OF
the legislature and which Is to be used as
political capital by the two political par
ties in the coming campaign.

DUMA RAPs TERRORISM.
Russian Body Condemns Outlawry
After Refusing Twice.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 22.-Following
closely on the heels of terrorist riots
in this city the Russian Duma Friday
night by a big majority passed a res
olution condemning terrorism. One
notable feature of the move was the
fact that the body, which is composed
mainly of Constitutional Democrats, at
two previous sessions refused to go
on record against terrorism. The Con-
stitutional Democrats formula ex-
pressed its disapproval of methods of
violence, whether they we're employed
by the government or against the gov
eminent, and the attempt of the mon
archists to commit the duma to a
sweeping vilifcation of revolution
failed Of success, the reactionary
speeches calling out notable utter
ances from the Octoberists reminding
the members that the duma itself was
revolutionary product.

General Demand

4 che Well Informed Of the World has
always been for q simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative whick physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents

EDITOR MOVES IS DEAD |
OLD JOURNALIST PASSES AWAY
AT PASADENA, CAL.
Had Been in Newspaper Work for so
Years-Was Chief of Wash
ington Star.

Pasadena, CAL, Feb. 22.-After so
years continuous service in the news
paper field, Crosby s. Moves, editor
of the Washington Star, passed away
at Hotel Raymond here late Friday.
He had been i'll for some time and at
his bedside at the hour of his death
the members of his family we're gath
cred.
Mr.. Noyes was SO years of age and
no less than so years of his manhood
had been spent in the newspaper bust
ness. He was born in Minot, Me-,
February 16, 1925, and finding farm
life too hard for his frail physique, he
came to Washington in 1S47, making
his last stages of his journey on foot
for lack of funds. He began his news
paper work in the following year as
a special correspondent and as a
writer for the Washington News.
From that date until few weeks pre-
ceding his death, Mr.. Noyes labored
increasingly at his chosen profession
and set his stamp upon Washington
journalism as a purveyor of clean,
sound, active facts.
He continually strove against sensa-
tional tendencies, his views on this
subject being made known to newspa-
per men generally through special pa
pers presented by him at the worlds
press parliament at the st. Louis ex-
position and again at the jamestown
exposition last year. Mr.. Noyes was
great traveller especially in oriental
countries and he was able to impress
his views upon governmental policies
in shaping the diplomatic relations of
America with Japan and China, while
he was a potent force in bringing
about the annexation of Hawaii.

ment to Banks of the Country
Wants Public Funds Now Held in
Inactive Depositaries.

Washington, Feb. 25-The secre-
tary of the treasury Monday an
nounced a call upon national banks.
He asked approximately rs per cent.
of the public funds now held in mac
tive depositaries having on deposit
such funds in the sum of 100000 or
more, and Is per cent of the public
funds now held by active depositaries
where the deposit is 100000 of such
funds, or in excess thereof, and where
such withdrawal can be made without
inconvenience to the treasury depart
ment in the transaction of public
business.
Asks Return of $50, 100000.
Under the call, approximately $685.
100000 will be returned to the treas
ury. Payments under this call will be
made as follows: Ten per cent. Of
the amount called on or before March
and the remaining Is per cent on or
before March %.
Secretary Cortelyou stated that ad.
vices from all portions Of the country
are to the effect that this proportion

posit with these national banks can
be withdrawn without detriment to
financial conditions in any section.
To Transfer Jap Balances.
Berlin, Feb. 25.-The Tightening of
financial conditions in Japan is regard
ed by banks here as likely to result
in the transfer from London to Toxic
of q large portion of Japan's balances
and somewhat to disturb European
money markets. Japan's balances in
London are estimated as between $780,
O00, 900 and $75,00O,0O0. At the Japan
csc embassy here the news Of paptcky
conditions at Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe
is discredited, but private advices to
German firms trading in the far east
confirm the news of the scarcity of
money. The recent stringency in the
United States is believed to be affect.
ing Japan, especially as Japanese ex.
ports to the United States have fallen
off to q considerable extent. The pro-
longed doubts concerning Japan's in.
tentions toward the United States on
the emigration question have tended
to make European bankers with Jap.
anese connections withdraw their
loans and conduct their business with
unusual caution.
