GRAND JURY IS ASSAILED Attorney General Nc
 Carn Is Bitter. SAYS 1T FAILS IN DUTY Would Take indictments In Own
 Hands. Tennessee Oniciai Declares In9uisito- rial Body Does Not Want to
 Fand BnIs Against vio-
 lntors of Law.

Nashville. Tenn, Sept. 2o.-A bomb was exploded in the Criminal Court room this morning when Attorney General Jen McCarn, in strong terms charged that the grand jury has sig nally failed to do its duty in the mat ter of returning indictments for the violations of the prohibition law, that certain members of the grand jury whose names were not called, are standing in the way of such indict- ments being found. and appealed to Judge Hart to purge the inquisitorial body of these objectionable members.
 Then came another sensation when General McCarn proceeded to read an Information" similar in form to an indictment or presentment. and to file 1t as a new bill charging a viola- tion of the -anti-saloon law.
 If the grand jury refuses to indict on information furnished. and pend ing the purging which he asks. Gen eral McCarn proposes himself to sub stantially indtct persons against whom he has information. He knows that persons so presented will fight 1t as an illegal manner of presentment, but he says that there Is now no other means of enforcing the law and that there is ample authority for the pro- cedure inaugurated.
 General McCarn said:
 There are some men on this grand jury who have frequently said that this law cannot be enforced, some men who are better friends to the illegal sellers of liquor than they are to this court. I appeal to you to purge the grand jury of these men,

BROUGHT COLOR
 10 HER CHEEKS
Then Strength Returned and This Blood1ess Woman
 Became Well.

There are many men, women and sven children suffering from an@mia. which means ''too little blood" The disease is well named, for the patient actually has deficiency of blood which affects every part of the body. There is lack of energy, . characteristic pal. Tor, a sense of suffocating after the least exertion, generally described as a short. ness of breath. The disease comes on gradually and is often well advanced before it is recognized.
 Too often medical treatment is un. satisfactory and the disease progressea until it becomes hopeless.
 A long standing case, which resisted treatment until Dr. Williams Pink Pills were tried, is described by Mrs. Clinton E. Hale, of No 104 Bristol avenue, Lock. port, N. Y., in the following statement:
 "When I was about fourteen years of age I began to fail rapidly in health. Although had always been frail child, I now had to quit school. I was weak and tired out all of the time. In walking fast or going up stairs 1t seemed that couldn't walk fast enough to keep up with the heart beats. had palpitation of the heart and occasional dizzy spells. I became awfully thin and pale. I had no appetite and suffered with indiges. tion. didn't have any life or ambition and was sensitive and irritable. fin. ally became SO weak that could hardly walk.
 ''The doctors seemed to disagree about my case and their medicine did not help me. My parents were alarmed at my condition and, upon the advice of oui minister's wife. had me try Dr. Will. hams' Pink Pills. By the time had taken two boxes of the pills I could notice an improvement in my condition. could eat better, wasn't so weak and my color came back. I took the pills until entirely cured"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills have also cured such blood diseases as rheumatism. after-efYects of the grip and levers. Owing to the intimate relation between the blood and nerves, the pills have been found invaluable in nervous diseases.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or sent, postpaid, on re- ceipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for s250, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

The night being stormy, with a heavy rain falling. the officers went to investigate. While they were in the place. the me- groes came in and they were arrested. If the confession by one of them Is true. the entire plot by which cars. have been robbed for months past was unearthed.

RIOT CALL SOUNDS FOR
 NEAR BURGLAR ALARM

telephone call from the residence of Miss Mattie stott SOP Adams Street, informing police headquarters that burglars were in the house. was inves- tigated early this morning, with the result that the alarm was proved un- founded
 The wind had in some manner loos- ened a window blind. which slammed against the house and caused alarm.
 A further complication of the error resulted from triple three" being rung at headquarters. In some way orders were misunderstood and triple three was sounded, which is the general alarm or riot call and used only in cases of extreme emergency.

A SPECIALIST SAYS:
"PILEs CAN'T BE CURED BY ANY
 OUTSIDE THREATENING.

Dr. J. s. Leonhardt. of Lincoln. Neb., spent years in studying the cause and cure of piles, and what he learned Is summed up by him in these words: Piles can't be cured surely and perma- nently by ointments, suppositories, or cutting. The cause Is inside and needs internal treatment"
 pr. Eeonhardt perfected Hem- Roid, the first internal pile cure, and has used 1t ever since in his private prac- tice. It frees circulation In the lower bowel, and strengthens the habby veins. During pr. Leonhardt's experi- ments it was found that Hem Roid cured 9s per cent of all cases of piles, whether blind. protruding. bleeding or itching.
 Hem-Roid is sold under positive guarantee at E. G. Fowler's and E. c. Andrews. Montgomery. Ala. s1 for 24 days treatment. Dr. Leonhardt Co.,, Station B. Buffalo. N. r.. prop. Write for booklet. 50

TO DISCUSS TAXES
PROMINENT MEN ARE GATHERING
 IN LOUISVILLE.
Conference Will Be Attended By Not- able Men of The World And will Be fin Session
 Eour Days,

Louisville. Ky, Sept. 20-"Probably the most notable gathering of disttn- guished men that Louisville has ever entertained will meet here tomorrow when the International Tax Confer ence convenes for four days.
 Men prominent in the political world. in educational circles and in other walks of life will be here to dis cuss taxation. Taxation is interesting the chief executives of all the States in the union and many of them will attend the conference.
 There were many arrivals last night and today. among them Law renee Pvrdy, president of the depart- ment of taxes and assessments of New York City and first vice president of the International Tax Association and A. c. Pleydeil, secretary of the New York Tax Reform Association.
 Tt is gratifying to see that people generally and commercial bodies in particular are coming to realize the choice of this question:" said MT. Pley- dell today. Taxation may seem 8 dry subject in It's details but 1t Is most far-reaching in its effects. Unjust taxation has brought about many a war and revolution and reduced pros porous nations to destitution.
 some of our states. like Pennsyl- vania and New York, have been able to meet demands for more revenue without injury to their commercial development because their constitu- tions left the matter of taxation to the Legislature.
 Tn states like Kentucky where the constitution requires the uniform taxa tion of all kinds of property the situa- ton is different. This uniform plan may have worked fairly well when most property was visible and any one could know about what his neighbor was worth. But 1t has broken down everywhere under modern conditions" ]"
