SEARCHING FOR SLAYERS
 OF LIEUT.. PETROSINO

Rome. March 1.-The Italian gov arnment has sent telegraphic com munications to the authorities of a large number of cities, requesting that g vigorous search be instigated for the murderers of Lieutenant Petrosino, or their accomplices.
 Especial vigilance is being observed in Constantinople, the United States. Marseilles. and parts of Egypt. while detectives have been sent to places where the Mafia Is known to have many adherents.
 The surprise expressed in the United States at the silence of the police of Palermo in connection with the re- quests of the New York police depart. ment for information concerning the assassination and subsequent develop ments, Is considered unjustifed, as Italian local authorities are not per mitted to communicate with foreign authorities. except through the Italian foreign officer.
 The American ambassador has do. clined to be interviewed on the Petro' sino affair on the ground that his DO sition only allows him to say that h' has made repeated and strong represen tations to the Italian government ant that he had received in return. thu promise of the government to leave nt stone unturned to arrest the guilty persons. Ambassadors Griscom sait also that he hoped the police of thu two countries would join in an effor to stamp out the Mafia and other mur derous organizations.
 According to a man now In the handi of the police at Palermo. who claims t, be the only witness to the murder, thu crime was committed by two men. wht came upon Petrosino suddenly anC fired at him when a few feet distant The assassins immediately fled and thu witness. terrified at the tragedy, alst ran away.

 Consider Bituminous Coal-Op. orators of State Com plain.

Washington, March 17.-(Special.)- The Government Is in tie market for 100000 tons of coal to be used in Panama in connection with the canal. The specifications require that the coal to be furnished shall be equal to the "Pocahontas or New River coal in sub stance anl that 'gas or bituminous coal' Is not to be considered.
 Senator Johnston has received let ters from a number of Alabama ope- rators on the subject. They complain that these specifications would ex- clude Alabama coal, and they are pre- vented from bidding. They also in- sist that Alabama coal for steam gem erating purposes Is quite the equal of the Pocahontas and New River and in deed the equal of any in the world.
 Senator Johnston has had an inter view with Secretary of War Dickinson on the subject and that official says he will be glad to have full informa- ton, and he promises before the bids are accepted he will see that the in- terested parties In Alabama shall have the fullest hearing. Senator Johnston will press the matter, and says he ex- poets the Alabama operators to fur nish him immediately complete in formation. Alfred J. Stofer.

A POSITIVE CURE
 FOR INDIGESTION
Food Improperly Digested Rots
 in the Stomach and Bowels

Plain language. but true in 90 per cent of cases of stomach trouble.
 Do you have little desire for food. and eat just little from force Of hab- it: feel overfull. uneasy and distressed immediately after eating: have difficul- ty in breathing: belching of gas, with taste of sour food in mouth?
 If you have any of the above symp- toms you have indigestion--your food fernents in the stomach and bowels. It does more; it decays, and the nutri- tious matter which should go to make new blood decays with 1t, and this leads to an impoverished condition Of the blood. to nervousness, billiousness situation, sick headache. bad breath. which disgusts your friends, and other disagreeable and unpleasant conditions.
 And all this trouble is caused by the food that doesn't digest, but fer ments in the stomach.
 Aad Fermentation is caused by the storI3aeh not being strong enough to thorougly mix the food with the di- gestive juices. T..
 Tired out stomach you might call 1t hut at any rate it should be quickly reotified if you would enjoy lire. Ml- O-NA is recognised the world over as the leading stomach tonic. and u IS responsible for tens of thousands or cures. In fact. 1t Is such positive cure for indigestion and all stomach troubles that 1t is guaranteed to cure or money back. It is for sale and Suaranteed in Montgomery by E. O. Fowler for 50 cents large box: Mi- o-na Is sold in every city In Ame[ioa. oS indigestion or gastritis in few hours.

THE BOlERQUESTION
COUNC1LMEN HEAR ARGUMENTS
 UNTIL LATE HOUR.
No Decision Reached, But AnnouSce- meat is Made That One of the Many Bids Presented VIII
 Be Accepted TOAay.

The Water Committee of the City Council held an audience last night for representatives of the several boil or manufacturies who wish tQ get the contract for the new water works boil CTS to be installed at the city pump house. They listened for four hours as the merits of the various boilers made in the United States was extolled.
 Each man was convinced that the boiler proposition that he placed be- fore the Councilmen was the best on the market. and each did his utmost to make the Council committee see Il the way he did. There was such galaxy of superb boiler information that the committeeman refused to make a decision, and adjourned the meeting to noon today.
 One of the agents scored a hit by having in his possession for the inspec- ton of the Aldermen pictures of most of the boilers made by the other com panies that had exploded. There were many pictures. and the wrecks display ed were dire. There was also written under the pictures the amount of prop. erty loss and number of persons killed or injured in the explosion.
 The committee will make . qna1 de- cision today. for they believe the ne- cessity for additional boiler strength at the pump house is imperative.
