ROOSEVELT UPHELD,
BY Report of senate Committee on
Judiciary.

Washington, Jan. 27.-That the
senate has no right to call upon
President Roosevelt for information
which he may have obtained from
the United States Steel corporation
when he countenanced the concern
absorption of the Tennessee Coal &
Iron company is the opinion of the
special committee on judiciary ap-
pointed to investigate the merger.
When the committee called upon
Attorney General Bonaparte to ap-
pear before it at a recent meeting, a
reply was received declining the in
vitation. This invitation was not
made public.
1t is now known that Mr..
Bonaparte directed the committee's IS
lish the department of commerce and
labor and argued that, it is a bar to
any demand for such information as
the president may have acquired con-
cerning the necessity, for the alb
Sorption of the Tennessee concern.
Under that act the commissioner
of corporations is empowered to
gather from corporations engaged in
interstate commerce such data and
information as will enable the presi-
dent to make recommendations to
congress for regulation.
This provision of law concludes as
follows:
'And the information so obtained
or as mucn tnereO1 as the preSlden
may direct shall be made public"
The data supplied to the president
by Judge E. H. Gary and H. G. F'rick
as to the necessity for the merger,
according to Mr.. Bonaparte, comes
within this clause of the commerce
and labor act.
Without this information, it is diff
cult for the committee to proceed.
Although several meetings have been
held, the judiciary committee has
not been able to decide upon any
course of procedure which would not
seem to threaten a quarrel with the
president.

TILLMAN DISCUSSED.
In Brief Filed by Attorney General
Bonaparte.

Washington, Jan. 27.-By a peculiar
coincidence Attorney General Bona
parte is called upon to discuss Senator
TiIlman of South Carolina at some
length in a brief filed by him in the
supreme court. of the United States.
The brief relates to the commodities
clause" cases and deals especially with
the questions as to whether the law
prohibiting interstate railroads from
transporting commodities owned and
produced by themselves includes the
ownership of the stock of companies
owning or producing such commodities.
The attorney general understands
that stock ownership is included in the
prohibition. He relates some of the
proceedings in the senate when the
commodities clause" was under con-
sideration and recites the fact that
Senator Tillnan was the only senator
who introduced a substitute for the
clause specifically providing against
stockownership. He admits that the
substitute was voted down by practi
cally a two-thirds majority, but con-
tends that such a result should not be
construed as Indicating a desire by the
senate not to prohibit such ownership
He calls attention to the fact that
there was practically no debate on this
point and says that the rejection of the
Tillman provision under these circum-
stances should not be held to imply
that the senate did not consider the
broad language of the provision as
adopted sufficient to include stock own
erShiD by a railway.

all right

that?" exclaimed the school board off,
cial. Mr.. Schneider stopped work long
enough to communicate with his wife

gram, assuring their son that it twas
all right but advised him to remain

THE DOCTORS QUESTION
Advice Against the Use of Harsh
Purgatives and Physics.

A doctors first question when con-
suited by p. patient is. are your
ity-eight per cent of illness is attended
with inactive bowels and tropId liver.
This condition poisonS the. system with
noxious gases and waste matter which
naturally accumulateS and which must
be removed through the bowels before
health can be restored.
Salts. ordinary pills and cathartics
may be truly nkened to dynamite.
Through their harsh, irritating action
they force a passage through the
bowels. causing pain and damage to
the delicate intestinal structure which
weakens the whole system, and at best
only produces temporary relief. The
repeated use of such treatments cause
chronic Irritation of the stomach and
bowels, nardenS their tissues, deadens
their nerves. stiffens their muscles and
generally brings about an injurious
habit which sometimes has fatal re-
suits.

safe remedy for constipation and bow

certain of its great curative value that

hardest fights of this session in order
to achieve the full fruits of their pres
