SHORTAGE OF 1882
Charge Against Clerk of United
States District Tribunal

Boston, Dec. 13.-Frank H. Ma
son, clerk of the United States district
court of Massachusetts, who was
secretly indicted by the federal grand
jury on charges involving an alleged
shortage of $4932 81, will contend
that his returns to the government
were adequate and legal and that he
has not been guilty of any breach of
the law.
The four indictments against him,
three alleging embezzlement of office
funds and the fourth charging perjury
in three counts for alleged false oath
in certifying to amounts in his re-
ports to the attorney general of the
United States, are said to deal with
bankruptcy and general fees.
An arrest was waived through cour-
tesy to Mason. He was merely not-
fled to appear before Judge Aldrich
in the court where he had presided
as clerk and, after brief proceeding,
was admitted to $4,000. Sureties
were furnished.

They 1njure
Children
Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distressing
Complaints.

You cannot be over-careful in
the selection of medicine for chill
dren Only the very gentlest bowel
medicine should ever be given, ex-
cept in emergency cases.. Ordinary
pills, catharties and purgatives are
apt to do more harm than good.
They cause gripping, nausea and
other distressing after-effects that
are frequently Notwithstanding and
life-lasting annoyance.
We personally recommend and
guarantee Rexall Orderlies as the
safest and most dependable remedy
for consti patton and associate bowel
disorders. We have such absolute
faith in the virtues of this remedy
that we sell it on our guarantee of
money back in, every instance
where it fails to give entire salts
faction, and we urge all in need of
such medicine to try it at our risk.
Rexall $Orderlies contain an en-
tirely new ingredient which is odor-
less, tasteless and eolorless. As
an active agent, it embraces the val
liable qualities of the best known
intestinal regulator tonics.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like
candy. They are particularly
prompt and agreeable in action,
may be taken at any time, day or
night; do not cause dialrhGa,
nausea, gripping, excessive loose
ness or other undesirable effects.
They have a very natural action
upon the glands and organs with
which they come in contact, act
as a positive and regulative tonic
upon the relaxed muscular coat of
the bowel and its dry mucous
lining; remove irritation, overcome
weakness, tone and strengthen the
nerves and muscles, and restore
the bowels and associate organs
to more vigorous and healthy ac-
tivity.
Rexall Orderlies completely re-
lieve constipation, except when of
a surgical character. They also
tend to overcome the necessity of
constantly taking laXatiyes toSkeep
the bowels in normal condition.
There is really no medicine for
this purpose so good as ReXall
Orderlies, especially for children,
aged and delicate persons. They
are prepared in tablet form, in
two sizes of packages: y tablets
10 cents, and SO tablets 25 cents.

He 10 Thus Denounced In a Speech
by Senator Raynor

Washington, Dec. 4.-vigorously
denouncing President Zelaya for hav-

officers of the revolutionary army,
Senator Raynor advocated the passage
of his resolution authorizing the Unit
ed States to apprehend and try the
president of Nicaragua for his crime
against these two American citizens.
The private life of Zelaya, almost
unspeakable in its enormity, said
Raynor, should be made public by the
state department in order that the
people of the United States might
know the kind of man Zelaya was.
Raynor insisted that there was ample
authority in international law for the
course he advocated TO bring Zelaya
to the bar of justice.

BOUND over
WITHOUT BAIL
Hattie lie Blanc Must Explain
Murder Case to Grand Jury
MRS. GLOVER HER GUARDIAN

Fact Made Public For First Time
When Wife of Murdered Man APP
pears at Hearing as Witness-Ac-
cused Girl Now Declares That Glow
er Was Shot as He Was Helping
Her Out of Laundry Window
Waltham, Mass, Dec. s.-Hattis
LIE Blanc is held for the grand jury.
All the government tried to show at
the hearing before Judge Luce was
that Clarence F. Glover was shot In
the Waltham laundry on the night OF
Nov. 20. anc in his dying statement
said that Hattie LIE Blanc killed him.
Judge Luce deemed the evidence
sufficient to hold the young woman,
and she was bound over without bail
for the session of the grand jury be-
ginning on the first Monday in jan
uary in East Cambridge.
AS Miss lie Blanc is only 16 years
old the hearing of her case was pri-
vate, as the law says all juvenile
cases shall be. For three hours the
girlish looing prisoner sat in the small
library of the district court and lis
tened to the testimony of witnesses
without understanding hardly any
thing of what was said. She speaks
only a few words of English.
Perhaps the most interesting wit
ness at the hearing was Mrs. Lillian
M. Glover, widow of the murdered
man. She had been subpoenaed by
the counsel for the defense and her
testimony occupied about thirty-five
minutes, it is said.
That Mrs. Glover is the legal guard
ian of Hattie lie Blanc became known
yesterday for the first time.
1t is optional with the guardian or
parent whether they appear or not. In
addition to the notice sent Mrs.
Glover, as guardian of the girl, she
was also served with a regular sum-
mons by the counsel for the defense,
which made her attendance COM
pulsory.
Hattie lie Blanc's story which her
lawyers expect will free her caused
decided comment when it became
known that she declares Glover was
shot as he helped her from the laun-
dry window.
She has changed in many ways her
original story to the police. She now
declares that while In the main room
of the laundry both she and Glover |
heard someone coming In the outer
door Of the laundry opening into the |
ONCE.
As he heard the sound Glover called !
out: Get out Of here; run quick, Hat
tie"
Hattie lie Blanc then says she start
ed to run toward the rear OF the laun-
dry, knowing she could escape by the
door down stairs. Glover followed
close behind, urging her to hurry.
She does not know that anyone
was pursuing, but believes there was.
Glover rushed after her in her head
long rush down the stairs.
She made for the window, and as
she gained the sill Glover pushed her
outside. She dropped to the ground
and started to run. Just at this in
slant she heard the shots. This she
claims is all she knows of the shoot
ing.
Hattie also declared that on the
night before Glover was shot Mrs.
Glover asked her to go to the theatre.
md they both visited the Scenic
heatre in Waltham.
