WHISEEY FOR RHEUMATISM
Unusual Prescription by Renowned
Physician Is Producing Won
derfuI Results

The increased use OF whiskey for
rheumatism is causing considerable dis
cuSSiOn among the medical fraternity.
1t is an almost infallibie cure when
mixed with certain other Ingredients
and taken properly. The following
Is the formula:
ITO One-haf pint of good whiskey
add one ounce OF TOriS compound and
one ounce Of syrup Sarsaparilla COM
pound Take in tablespoonful doses be-
fore each meal and before retiring"
This is said to produce almost imme-
diate results
Not only will this formula promptly
relieve the muscular pains, but IL also
makes one OF the most effective system
builders known to the profession. IL
will increase the appetite and IL it's use
is continued will restore fun physical
vigor to all persons of falling strength
especially the decline caused BY age
The TOris compound IN connection
with the other ingredients has such a
decided action in purifying the blood
that the good effects are noticeable
after the first few doses. but il would
be a serious mistake TO discontinue
until health is completely recovered.

WANTS RAILROADS
UNDER one HEAD
Hartman Favors Consolidation
of All Lines and Big Expendi-
ture in Betterments
Roosevelt Was Wrong" He
Says, Believing Combine
Would Benefit All

DENVER, Col, March 30-If E. E.
Hartman could have. his way he would
bring all the railroads in America into
one giant combination under one head.
and begin Immediately the expenditure
of s250,0oo.000 or $500, 900, 900 in i'm
proving the weaker roads both physic-
ally and financially. In this way he
says he believes he could do the great
est good for the government, the people
of the United States generally, to the
shippers individually, and finally to the
owners of railroad stock.
Hartman spent two hours in Dem
yer today as the guest of the chamber
Of commerce, then departed on his
eastward journey.
IF we could, we would throw our
cloak over the weaker lines throughout
the country and begin Immediately the
expenditure of between $3.50, 200, 900 and
s900,0O0,o00 to improve them said
Hartman in an informal talk at the
chamber of commerce. 1T ought to be
done Immediately, and l think l can
qualify as an expert on these matters.
This should be done openly and under
some sort of government supervision.
But we would all be put in prison If
we tried it."
Hartman also said that his roads
had spent about 5000, 900 building in
the west and through the mountains,
He said that he had found a great
change in public sentiment toward
railroads and railroad builders
Five years ago." said Hartman, IL
told President Roosevelt that he was
wrong and that he would have many
imitators in various states and cities
who would do the country incalculable
harm, and what / told him then has
proved correct. Roosevelt was wrong
in his fight on me and the railroads,
and the truth of this is getting clearer
every day.

RENO RATE CASE
EVIDENCE TAKEN
Former Superintendent of the
Southern Pacific Compares
Cost Of Operating Lines
Nevada Wants Same Rate Og=
den to Reno as. Charged to
San Francisco

RENO. New, March 3O.--In the hear
Ing this afternoon before Examiner
Lyon of the interstate commerce COM
mission In the case of the Nevada rail-
road commission against the Southern
Pacific and the Nevada, California and
Oregon railroads, charging unjust
rates, Commissioner Shaughnessy. for
merly assistant superintendent of the
Southern Pacific, testified that the cost
OF operating the line from Reno to
Sacramento was very nearly the same
as operating from ogden to Reno.
Theodore Eisfeldt of the customs de-
partment of San Francisco furnished
records of steamship tonnage received
at the port of San Francisco from New
York in 1908, originating at New York
This testimony was introduced to dis
prove the testimony of H. Jackson in
the Spokane case, upon which the rail-
ways rely to prove water competition
in the Nevada case.
Secretary Walker of the railroad
commission presented tables compiled
from the reports of the Southern Pa
cif1c, covering the years 1906, 1907 and
1908, which showed the company'S s
profits. expenses and dividends.
Professor Thurte1l of the Nevada uni
versity gave the approximation of the
profits the Southern Pacific would
make by handling business to Reno
at equal rates with the coast.
S. G.. Luce, traffic manager of the
Southern Pacific. testified for the de-
Tense to prove the railroads scheme
of rate making.
In order to prevent Nevada losing
the case through technicalities. Judge
Bartine and Attorney General Stoddard
announced this afternoon that they
would include ten trunk railroads
operating east of Ogden as defendants
in the case.
Judge Bartine said that the railroads
east of Ogden and Salt Lake had moth
ing to do with the back haul charged
by the Southern Pacific from San Fran
cisco to Reno, and that all that Ne
vada contended for was the same rate
from Ogden to Reno as exists between
Ogden and San Francisco.

YOSEMITE VALLEY
MAY Be OPENED
California Promotion Committee
Preparing Petition to Remove
Restrictions on Autos
By K. r. PHommedieu

An interesting piece of information
was given out yesterday that will be
welcomed by the owners of automo-
biles. The California Promotion com
mittee is circulating a petition asking
the authorities In Washington to re-
move the restriction against automo-
biles entering Yosemite valley. The
following is the petition:
To the Secretary Of the Interior. Washington.
d. C.-Sir: In the belief that 1t will be to the
best interests Of the people OF state and nation.
we, the undersigned residents Of California. re-
spectfully call your attention 70 the fact that
present restrictions prohibiting the use OF auo-
mobiles on the roads IN Yosemite national park
in California tend to work hardship many
users OF such vehicles and 20 prevent more
complete and full enjoyment OF the beauties and
pleasures found in this great natural wonder
land.
1t Is also called to your attention that users
of vehicles drawn by horses frequenting these
roads have animals that as a rule are accus-
toned TO automobiles. Widespread use OF auto
mobiles In city and country has reduced 10 a
minimum the possibility Of frightening horses on
these roads. as such restrictions do not apply
TO other roads greatly freouented bv horse
drawn vehicles there appears little weight to
this possible objection, seemingly the only one
that might be presented
II is also called to your attention that by rea-
of this restriction OF automobile travel Wis
it1ng the PARK Is 1eSSeneQ, anu II the reSIrlc-
tions were removed great impetus would be
given 70 travel to the park and tourists could
view the scenic wonder with greater facility and
comfort.
We therefore respectfully petition that such
restrictions be removed in measure and that
automobiles, under proper restrictions as to
speed, time OF travel and condition OF machines
be permitted to travel roads in Yosemite
tional park.
The Yosemite national park is OF the
show places OF the world, whose grandeurs have
been made known TO all nations. and your petit
tioners believe that every facility that be
allowed consistently should be given those de-
sirous OF visiting the park.
We therefore pray that careful and favorable
consideration be given to all aspects OF the mat
ter and that our petition be granted
The committee is also seeking to
have the roads in the valley improved
and widened especially. The commit
tee has the cooperation of the army
officers who are in the valley, and from
present indications it would not be
surprising If the requests OF the com
mittee were granted.

The Governments Views

TOKYO, March 30.-Answering a re-
quest for an expression of the views
of the government concerning Chine's
proposal that the Manehurian questions
be referred TO The Hague. the foreign
Office today gave out the following
carefully worded statement:
Several questions between Japan and China of
more or less importance, with reference to Man
churla remain unadtusted Some are compn-
Gated. but all readily could be made TO yield to
the diplomatic process Of give and take.
Japan, fully appreciating the advantages of
removing all causes OF misunderstanding from
her relations with her neighbors made proposals
TO China looking to the hnal settlement OF out
standing differences. These proposals were
framed in spirit of consideration and concili-
alton, and were IN no sense ultimatum.
Japan expected that the terms offered would
serve basis Of negotiations as points Of
departure for reciprocal concessions and accommo-
dations.
China at first apparently accepted Japan's
friendly overtures In the spirit in which they
were rendered, but maIign influences ultimat ately
were permitted 10 prevail. and without discuss
ing the questions making any counter pro-
posals China categorically rejected Jepan's OFFER
and suggested recourse 10 The Hague.
In adopting this extraordinary course China is
guilty not only Of slight courtesy to japan. but
has disregarded one Of the expressed provisions
OF The Hague convention and has completely re-
versed the usual. course OF procedure. The oues-
tons in dispute have not been made the sub
ject of full detailed discussion between the two
governments and no attempt has been made to
compose the differences ascertain how far
they are rreconcilishle.
The questions are not ripe for such refer
ences.
