IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC Discov.
cry.
A Clinical Preparation That Positively
Kills the Dandruff Germ.

most important discovery has been
made after a years patient laboratory
work aimed in certain direction-It is
Newbros Herpicide, preparation that
prevents falling hair, and speedily and
permanently eradicates dandruff. These
evils are caused by a germ or parasite
that burrows into the scalp, throwing
up dandruff, as it seeks to sap the life
OF the hair at the root. There's no
badness without falling OF thin hair,
no thin hair without dandruff, and no
dandruff if the germ is destroyed.
Newbro's Herpicide is the only prepar-
alton that will do the work DESTROY
the cause, you will remove the effect"

Loss Off Coast of
Brazil
IBy Associated Press.l

BUENOS AYRES, Feb. 2O.-The Ar
gentine steamer Presidente Roca, from
southern ports, according to reports re-
ceived here, has been wrecked between
Puerto de San Antonio and Puerto
Madrid on the east coast.
The steamer caught fire and it is
believed the crew and 200 passengers
have perished.
1t is reported also that the steamer
sank.
Press dispatches received here this
afternoon state that the flames spread
with great rapidity, and the scteamer
was headed into shore as rapidly as
possible.
A panic prevailed and many lives
were lost, some of the estimates reach
ing as high as 200.
The Presidente Roca was on her way
north from Puerto Madrid to San An
tonic.
Later official messages report the
vessel sank but that only twenty lives
were lost. Three hundred and fifty
passengers and members of the crew
were saved, according to these advices
The Presidente Roca belonged to the
Hamburg South American line.
She was the largest steamer trading
regularly between Buenos Ayres and
the southern ports of the republic.

SAYS ROOSEVELT
EXCEEDED RIGHTS
CONTINUED from Page one,


nesses the report declares that the firm
of Moore & Schley, stock brokers of
New York, was the one referred to by
Messrs. Gary and Frick.
This is the concern which managed
the affairs of party of financiers who
bought a majority Of the stock of the
Tennessee company and held it until
November, 1907.
It is asserted by the report that
banks in New York. some of them
known as Morgan banks, pressed the
loans on Tennessee Coal stock vigor-
ously and that the demands were met
successfully until, fearful of the re-
suit on account of the business un-
easiness in regard to the Tennessee
stock, terms were made with the Steel
corporation.
It is asserted the syndicate did not
wish to sell its stock, but was forced
to do so.
Sarcastic references were made by
the committee report to the statement
of Judge Gary and Mr.. Frick in their
interview with the president that they
did not want to buy the Tennessee con-
Germ.
From the testimony it is asserted
that the Tennessee property is prob
ably worth several hundred million
dollars and would give the Steel cor
poration ultimate control Of the iron
ore supply of the country and the iron
and steel trade of the south.

today in honor Of the blue flag Of Rear
Admiral Sperry on the battleship Con-
necticut the combined forces that are to
enter the Virginia capes on Monday
morning to be reviewed by President
Roosevelt in celebration of the world
cruise of sixteen American battleships
were completed.
Wireless signals from the North Car
olina and her junior consort, the Mon
tana, early today told of the approach
of the last two ships sent to welcome
the Homecoming vessels to the main
body Of the fleet.
The fleet is near enough to the Vir-
ginia capes tonight to insure its arrival
off the entrance of Hampton Roads
some time tomorrow. The fleet will lay
to or maneuver off the capes tomorrow
afternoon and evening and will get
under way Monday morning in time
to pass into home waters and begin
filing past the Mayfiower exactly at
the hour indicated.
Scores of officers wives are already
at the hotels here. Among them are
about nineteen who made the journey

ports visited.
Many Stayed in Japan
Some of these intrepid women even
went to Australia, but most Of them
remained in Japanese waters while
their husbands were in the antipOdeS.
There are other wives here who
went with the fleet as far as Califor-
mia.
The social feature of the fleets return
and stay in the Roads is to be as nota-
BILE as the departure.
Washington's birthday is to be cele-
brated as a holiday more generally
than ever before in this section, and
all the residents of Norfolk, Newport
News, Hampton and other cities who
can possibly do so will either be afloat
or gathered along the shores of the
roadstead to witness the impressive
arrival of the ships and the ceremonies
attending the visit of the president.
The man-of-war anchorage, stretch
ing three miles in a crescent from the
Old Point pier, was cleared today of all
merchant ships.

court, Bledsoe maintained he had no
confederates, nor did he have any in
tention of exploding the bomb with
which he had threatened Mr.. Jones
and the latter's wife and son, who came
to his assistance.
He merely used it, he said, to in
timidate the millionaire Mr.. Jones,
however, told the court that after he
had captured Bledsie the man kept
crying:
why didn't the thing go off?''
