UNION CITY, Tenn, Jan. 9.-Judge

Bob" Ransom, Fred Pincon, Arthur
Cloar and Samuel Applewhite, the
nightriders who were found guilty of
the murder of Capt. Quentin Rankin,

The attorneys for the defendants
gave notice of an appeal to the state
supreme court. If this tribunal does
not interfere the first six named men
will be hanged February 10.
In applying to Judge Jones today for
new trial, the defense attacked the
competency of Jurors Mckinney and
Dahnke, asserting that they had eX-
pressed opinions as to the guilt Of the
defendants.
After having heard the testimony of
three witnesses introduced by the de-
Tense in their effort to prove that Juror
Mckinney had expressed an opinion as
to the guilt of the convicted men, the
state proved by the members Of the
jury that he insisted on mitigating cir
cumstances being included in the YER
dict.
The contentious in regard to Jurors
RoSson and Dahnke were later with
drawn and the motion for a new trial
was Quickly overruled

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 9.-Advices
from every portion of the Pacific north
west today are that the unusually cold
weather of the past four or five days
continues, and in some places the Their

since the cold snap set in.
Snow continues to fall at intervals

today, and while most trains are late,
there have been no serious delays.
Ice is piling up in the rivers and
navigation is difficult in the Columbia
river. The weather bureau predicts a
further snowfall, with no lessening of
the cold weather.
At Spokane the snowstorm has tenn

but it is not believed winter wheat
will be seriously injured, being COW

PLAN TO USE ALL UNCLAIMED
ARTICLES TO AID SUFFERERS

ROME, Jan. 9.-The parliamentary
committee, which is examining the re-
lief measures proposed by the govern
ment in the chamber of deputies, has
modified them with the consent Of the
cabinet.
The changes provide that the build
ing taxation be 2 per cent for five
ye&rs, instead Of 5 per cent for two
years, and that the earthquake zone
be exempted from all taxation on build
ing for your years.
A further provision is that un-
claimed valuables in the devastated
district be devoted by the government
to the relief Of the survivors.
Miss May Sherman of Elizabeth. N.
j., who was active in the measures
undertaken in Taormina for the re-
lief Of the earthquake sufferers and
who was in Rome today, gave further
details of the conditions of the refu-
gees who came under her observa-
ton.
Some of the wounded, she said, were
so seriously hurt that there was very
little chance of their reaching Catania
alive. They were therefore taken
from the train and given every atten-
ton possible at Taormina.

CONSUL GENERAL OF ITALY
THANKS SAN FRANCISCANS

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 9.-In recog-
milton of the generosity of the people
of San Francisco displayed in contri-
buttons to the stricken of Italy the
Italian consul in this city today made
public the text of a communication
from the royal consul general of Italy,
as follows:
"The royal consul general of Italy,
feeling deeply moved at the splendid
outburst by which the population of
San Francisco, both American and
Italian, has shown its generous heart
toward the unfortunate survivors of
the terrible catastrophe in the cities of
Messina and Reggie, paying into the
Red Cross, together with several neigh
boring cities, a, sum not less than $780,
600 in the space Of a few days, earnest
ly desires that it be made known to
the people of the United States and
Italy what is being done ard what is
still being done by the people of north
ern California and especially by the
city of San Francisco, notwithstanding
the fact that this city still suffers from
the immense economic damages caused
by a similar tremendous calamity
about two years and a half ago."

Laughter, Digestion
and Health

An eminent Russian physician has
stated his opinion that laughter is one
of the best means known to science for
the correction of Dyspepsia, stomach
and nervous diseases.
Laughter, however, in a dyspeptic is
like the memory of running brooks and
K shady glens to the furnishing and dying
man lost in the desert.
If one could but know all the causes
reasons and origins Of Dyspepsia, one
would not wonder at half-hearted-
ness of dyspeptic's gaiety.
There is ceaSeleSS call for annette
food and enjoyment to a dyspeptic.
coupled with morose, moody belief
and knowledge that such a call is
mockery and if INDUCED in will bring
discomfort, pain and regret
Perhaps if it were understood that
the digestive system, including mouth.
throat and alimentary canal. embrace
ing as 1t does the stomach, is composed
of membraneous tissue filled with mil
lions of small nerves, which control
added millions of little mouths or
suckers. Perhaps if this were known
men could more comprehensibly under
stand that to disarrange such a sys-
tenn would mean indeed intense physi-
cal pain.
Now suppose that this aIimentarv
canal is a mass of worn-out, debiIs-
tated nerves and mouths, each suffer-
ing excruciating physical pain and
discomfort, and suppose such a canal
filled with the fumes and foul odors
and decayed food from the last meal.
and one has a slight idea as to the
lack Of laughter of dyspeptic
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets composed
of the highest digestive ingredients
one grain of single ingredient being
capable Of digesting 5000 grains OF
food-relieves the alimentary canal of
its onerous duties, assists it along its
entire length GO feet) to perform its
routine, imparts strength and buoy
ancy to the stomach and gives back to
the blood a strong, healthy nourish-
ment
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are nat
ural adjuncts to digestion. They do not
falsely stimulate an already weakened
machine, but build up where building
is needed and remove where removal is
necessary.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have moth
ing to conceal. Here is what they
are made of: Hydrastis, golden seal
lactose and aseptic pepsin. Forty
thousand physicians in America and
Canada use and prescribe them They
should be used after every hearty meal

Appears Before House Committee to
Appeal for Favorable Action on
Petition for Special
Permit
nav Associated Presa-1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Secretary
Garfield Of the interior department ap-
peared before the house committee on
public lands today to urge favorable
action on the resolution which will give
the city of San Francisco the use OF
the Hetch Hetchy and Lake Eleanor
valleys in the Yosemite national park
for reservoir purposes.
Mr.. Garfield told the committee OF
the Investigations that were made be-
fore he issued the permit to the city
and county Of San Francisco to use
these valleys for the purpose of pro-
viding suitable water supply for San
Francisco and neighboring towns.
He said it was his opinion that the
most important public interests would
be served through the granting of the
permission sought.
A Whitman, an attorney of Boston,
representing the Appalachian club OF
that city, and also the Sierra club, en-
tered protest against the use Of the
Hetch Hetchy valley for reservoir
purposes.
Authorized to Protest
meeting of the club to make the pro-
test.
He based his opposition on the ground
that the scenic features of the val
ley should be preserved.
Alden Sampson Of New York, who
has camped frequently in the valley,
made a protest along similar lines and
suggested that a committee be ap-
pointed to investigate the subject be-
fore action is finally taken.
The chief contentious were that the
scenic effects of Hetch Hetchy, which
congress desired to preserve when the
nd OaT,Iy he Il
stroyed; that other cities would con-
slider that they should be granted SIM
liar privileges in other national parks,
and that the water of Hetch Hetchy
would be contaminated by campers,
VINO would be finally kept off the en-
tire watershed.
Marsden Manson, city engineer of
San Francisco, presented a lengthy
argument to show that the. Hetch
Hetchy site was the best for a reser-
Voir for San Francisco

SAYS CONSUMPTION IN
FIRST STAGES CAN BE
CURED BY PIGS BLOOD

@ CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Pig's blood, medi-
g caIly prepared, is of the highest value
g In the cure of ineipient tuberculosis,
g according to an announcement made
@ by DIR. Daniel Il. Ricardo.
q BY experiments, carried on independ-
q emily, DIR. Ricardo says he arrived at
@ the same conclusion as DIR. r. j.
g Rosenberger of Philadelphia, that
g tuberculosis first manifests itself in the
g blood of the patient.
g II hold pigs blood to be of the high
@ est value in tuberculosis cases." de-
@ clared the physician. 'The reason for
g that is that pigs blood contains more
g hemOglobin than COW blood.
@ Swine are fed better than cattle,
@ and there is a heavy strain on the
g cows from being MIXED.
@ Cattle also are subject to tubercu-
3slOsis, while I have never heard of a
g case of that disease among swine.'

Ethel Ransom, % years old, was killed
and five others injured, two probably
fatally, as the result of a street feud
fight early today. There had long been

stones were used. Sidney Ransom was
shot below the heart and Charles Clark
was shot through the lungs.
