Jacob f. Doyle. living on Washing
ton St. Havre de Grace. Md, says:
up to four years ago had been suf-
fering from kidney complaint and
backache. My back panied me so
badly at times that I was unable TO
make any quick movement as 1 would
suffer sharp twinges. Constant dun
pains through my loins kept me awake
at night and I would arise in the
morning tired and unrefreshed. My
kidney secretions caused me much an
noyance on account Of their irregular
action. / saw Doan's Kidney Pills
highly recommended for these, COM
plants so / procured a box and began
J using them according to directions.
They cured me and the cure has re-
mained permanent, and is apparently
as fresh today, April %. 1907, as when
first made, 1903. I know of many
others who have used Doan's Kidney
Pills with the same satisfactory re-
suits"

fraternity, for years past one OF the
wealthiest and most exclusive social
organizations on the Stanford univer-
sity campus. has transferred its mag
nlncent clubhouse on the campus to
the Stanford university trustees. The

instrument at San Jose whereby they
release TO the trustees the lease which
they held for the large plat of land on
which the clubhouse is situated

large building of colonial style archi-
lecture, was owned by corporation
composed OF alumni of the university.
who had laid out the scheme for the
erection OF the fraternity home while

have taken place are not thought to
indicate that any differences have
arisen between the fraternity and the
trustees by which the former were
compelled 10 give up their clubhouse.
but are regarded as ordinary business

building could be sold TO the trustees

Tor the fraternity men to lease the
structure from the university authorf-
ties than TO pay interest on the in
vestment. The fraternity has taken a

BARS TRANSPORTATION
FOR ALL ADVERTISING

CHICAGO, July 15.-"If it be lawful
to make the exchange of railroad
transportation for advertising. then it
would be lawful TO do the same in every
transaction and the railroad business
might lawfully become one of barter
and sale. limited only by the demand.
In a decision handed down today by
Judge C, c, Kohlsaat in the United
states circuit court, from which the
foregoing is quoted, the jurist enjoined
the Issuance of transportation by the
Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville
railway company to the publishers of
Munsey's Magazine in exchange for adj
Vertising. The decision was rendered in
a test case, in which the federal

In. january, 1907 between the railroad
company and Frank A Munsey & Co,
providing for the issuance of trip tick
cts or mileage to the value of $500 in
of certain advertising

zine company. The contract was alleged
to be a violation of the Hepburn law.

violation of the law,

States supreme court was Immediately
given by the attorneys for the railroad

of the subject has never been ex-
haustively treated by an American

results of the consolidation movement,

CALL GERRYMANDER
VIOLATION OF LAW
Pretestants Attack Political
JObbery of Herrin Machine
in Alameda County
Call TO Vote for Delegates ln-
tended to Secure Control
Despite Opposition

OAKLAND, July I5.-The gerry
nander Of Alameda county adopted by
the machine republican county commit
tee has been attacked before the board
of supervisors as Illegal in so far as
IL applies TO the ffty-first assembly
district The Lincoln Roosevelt repub-
iican league has taken up a fight to
expose not only the political crooked
ness of the attempted steal OF the
county, but also TO show that the call
adopted by the Herrin county commit
tee does not comply with the state
law.
In their scheming to carry through
q raw piece OF political jobbery the
trainers Of the gerrymanders over
looked the statutes requirements, ac-
cording to a protest which was fled
against the committees call by John
Z. Sanford of 1921 Second avenue, and
Vernon E. Franklin of l7l2 Eleventh
avenue, this morning.
STATE LAW VIOLATED
The point raised by the protestants
is that, in violation of the state pri-
mary law, voters in the fourteenth SEN
etorial district viii be given chance
under the Herrin committees cali TO
vote for delegates to the convention
candidate from the fifteenth district.
This is distinctly prohibited by the
law and, according TO the protest null
lifies the committees call.
The attack upon the committees &C
tion affects on the surface the fifty
first assembly district, the boundaries
Of which are partly within the four
teenth and partly within the fifteenth
senatorial district. In framing the ger
,-xrr,7a nGar for fiffV-frSt assembly
district the machine arranged its lines
so that, on paper, it could figure to
control the district, no matter how
many votes IN opposition 70 the Her
rim crowd might be cast.
GANG MIXED MATTERS
Il was arranged that the seventh
ward should vote for is delegates. u
OF which should come from one side
Of the bisecting senatorial district
line and six from the other side. The
minority of Is delegates were allotted
10 Brooklyn township outside of the
city limits comprising the remainder
OF the ffty-frst district. But in ar
ranging this desperate bit OF political
jobbery, the gang mixed matters so
that they put the six delegates in
the fifteenth senatorial district, though
they belonged TO the fourteenth and
could not vote for state senator this
year, as their state senator is a hold
over
After the protest was presented to-
day the supervisors postponed action
until Friday 10 get an opinion from
District Attorney Brown. Under the
law the board must issue its primary
election call In political circles IT is
said that early steps to nullify the
entire gerrymander are under con-
sideration.
