WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE
injunction against the enforcement Of
the state laws can only be issued by 4
majority OF three federal judges wh'
are to pass upon them il the bill
passed in the Senate today becomes
a law. The bill was drafted in the ju-
dietary committee from a number Of
measures under consideration. II was
reported by Oyerman and the pro-
visions were explained by him. A
substitute bill by Burkett was dis
agreed to, The Overman bill was op
posed by Hepburn on the ground that
the great distances between the fed
eral courts in the west would delay
the granting of the necessary injnnc-
ton. Knox favored the bill and op-
posed Hepburn, The Senate discuss
ed at length the bill to appropriate the
proceeds from the sale Of certain pub

WASHINGTON, April Repre-
sentative Lilley was before the House
committee investigating the Electric
Boat Company and reiterated his
charges that the company made an
excessive profit on government CON
tracts. A rigid cross examination BY
the members of the committee assist
ed by an attorney of the Electric
Boat Company failed to make Lilley
retract. Stevens devoted considerable
of his time in an effort to have L.illey
charge the Secretary Of the Navy and
his predecessor and the naval officers
generally with Gross ignorance, in
efficiency and incompetency,' in let
ting warship contracts. Lilley stead
lastly refused to father such charge.
He maintained that these men were
highly competent SO far as their in
formation carried them but insisted
that they are not good business men
and that the poor bargains they made
proved the truth of his assertion.

DIPLOMATIC BILL.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE
attitude of Emperor William and the
Berlin court toward David ]. Hill,
named by the President, as ambassa
dor at that capitol was the subject Of
comment in the House today during
the consideration Of the diplomatic
consular bill Both Perkins and
Sladen expressed the opinion that the
objection to Hill was due to mo- other
cause than that Hill was financially
unable to maintain certain standards
Of the social representation Each
condemned the practice which they
said had grown up selecting men Of
great wealth TO be the nations repre-
sentatives abroad and urged as means
of counter acting the effects Of such
policy, the housing Of our diplomats
in buildings owned by the govern
ment and allow salaries sufficient to
enable them to maintain the dignity
Of their Office. The diplomatic bill
was under consideration when the
House took a recess until tomorrow.

COFFEYVILLLE, Kan, April ".
Two men entered the Citizens State
Bank at Chautauqua, rs miles west Of
Coffeyyille, at $50 this morning, and
after forcing Cashier G. c. Walter
house and Delegate Easley, busi-
ness man. TO enter the vault, locked
them in, secured all the currency IN
sight, amounting 10 about 5000, and
escaped into the Usage Hills, across
the line, in Oklahoma. -Four posses
are Ia pursuit, and as the roads are
muddy it is believed the robbers will
be captured The robbers secured
about hall an hours start
The robbery was one OF the most
daring ever executed in this part OF
Kansas, the scene Of many holdups on
the part OF the Dalton, Starr and
other gangs OF outlaws, who from
time to time have made their rem
devious in the mountainous country
OF nearby Oklahoma. Cashier Wal
terhouse had scarcely opened the bank
at Chautauqua this morning and plac-
ed his currency on the country, ready
for the days business, when the two
robbers, both OF them we'll dressed,
made their way leisurcly TO the
cashiers window.
One OF them was man well known
about town, and he commanded Wal
tcrhouse and Easley to throw up their
hands. The latter two took the mat
ter in the light Of joke, The serious
intention OF the robbers was realized
d moment later, however, when they
both drew revolvers and, pointing
them al their victims, ordered them
to get into the vault. Without further
ado Walterhouse and Easley both
complied, The robbers quickly siam
med the door shut and then leisurely
went about their business Of looting
the bank.
FIRST they drew down the window
,hades, then locked the doors to pre-
ycnt interference After they had
crlped up all the money in sight they
walked out in the front entrance and
np The main street. One Of the men
carried gunnysack. Several persons
who knew the man, whom Walter
house and Easley say is a well-known
Chautauqua character, spoke to him
in a friendly manner Nothing in the
appearance Of the robbers betrayed
the lpart they had just played. A block
away they mounted horses that they
had tied to the curb and rode OIL.
After going a few blocks from the
center Of the town they directed their
horses heads south toward the Okla
homa- Kansas state line and whipped
them into a gallop. The robbery was
not discovered until half an hour
later, when j. H. Edwards, president
Of the bank, entered his Office. After
releasing Walterhouse and Easterly
President Edwards gave the alarm
locally and to surrounding towns,
Within another 30 minutes posses had

AIT | o'clock this morning, teie-
phonic messages were received from
Portland, conveying the news Of a
strong adverse vote to United States
Senator Charles w. Fulton, and indi-
eating that Multnomah had refused to
support him by a reactionary vote Of
from $500 to 5000; that Marion, CIack-
amas, Baker and Washington counties
had practically gone against him, with
Morrow standing steadily with him.
And the same sources Of authority an
nounced that the congressional con-
test was close, as between Geer and
Shepherd, with the latter carrying
Multnomah; and that Statement No. !
has swept the Oregon field, including
Multnomah.

Ada Meade Opera Company.

The Ada Meade Opera company
arrived in the city this morning to
present 'Lasso Land at the opera
house tonight. The company was at
Cleburne last night and the Review
of that place says:
Before an audience that compare
lively filled Browns opera house
the Ada Meade Opera company made
its initial bow to the theatre-goers
of Cleburne, and also the first per-
Torrance on the road. The offering
was Lasso Land, new romantic
opera from the pen of John N. Ed
wards, editor of the Dallas News,
and the music by Edwin j. Novey of
st. Louis. The story is well defined
and the music, while very import
ant part of the production, is by no
means necessary in the action of the
piece. Miss Meade as the heroine
created a very profound impression,
both as to her ability as an actress
and to her skill and accomplishment
as a singer. She was compelled to
sing several encores to each of her
EsolO numbers.

WHY SUFFER?
Breathe Hyomei and Kill the Loath-
some Catarrh Gerc:s.


Just as long as you have catarrh
your nose will itch, your breath will
be foul, you will hawk and spit, and
you will do other disgusting things
because you can't help yourself. The
germs of catarrh have got you in
their power; they are continually
and persistently digging into and ir-
ritating the mucous membrane OF
your nose and throat. They are now
making your life miserable; in time
they will sap your entire system OF
its energy, its strength, its vigor and
vitality.
If YOU do not kill the loathsome
germs of catarrh, their desperate as
sauIts will in time undermine your
reason, rob your brain of it's bril-
liancy and activity, and leave you
not only a physical but a mental
wreck.
This picture is not overdraWn;
the writer has seen thousand OF Just
such cases He has personally exper-
fenced the demoralizing reults that
come from the ravishing attacks OF
the horrible catarrh germs, the great
est pest of civilized nations.
But there is one remedy that will
kill the germs and cure catarrh, and
that is Hyomei, the Australian dry
air treatment. There may be other
remedies, but they are not guaran-
teed as Hood & Curtin, the druggists
will guarantee Hyomei to cure ca
tarrh, or money back. Don't delay
this pleasant antiseptic treatment.
Every day you allow these germs to
exist in your system brings you near
er to complete Decentralization. Hood
& Curtin will sell you complete
Hyomei outfit for only $100. Ask
them about it. 1t Is also guaranteed
to cure bronchitis, asthma, coughs,
colds and hay fever.
