shortage" Governor Hay stated that
he first warned Hamilton that any
thing he said would be used against

nual message, the reading of which will
consume nearly all of tomorrow's ses-
sion.
House In Session Forty Minutes
The house session continued forty
minutes, in which w. w. McCredie,
new representative from the second
Washington district, who succeeds the
late Francis Cushman, was sworn in.
Although only 341 members responded
to their names, almost a full member
snip appeared on the house floor and
there were few who did not have one
or more bills to offer. These included
one by Representative Garner, Penn
sylvania, for an investigation by con-
gress of the entire customs service,
particularly In regard TO the sugar
frauds recently brought to light: one
by Representative Hitchcock, Nebras-
ka, for the establishment of postal saw
ings banks; one by Representative
Mann. Illinois, for federal regulations
of the white slave trade; another by
Mr. Mann for the free admission of
wood pulp, and one by Representative
Hamilton, Michigan, to grant state
hood to New Mexico and Arizona.
There were the customary crowds in
the galleries.
The leaders of the majority and mi
nority were there and conversed ami
ably, all bitterness engendered over the
tariff fight of last summer apparently
having been forgotten. Resolutions of
respect for the memory OF Senator
Johnson of North Dakota and of Rep
resentatives De Almond and Lassiter,
VINO dled in the recess, were adopted
and as a further mark of respect the
two houses adjourned until noon tomor-
row.

"WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC
MUST CEASE" SAYS TAFT

WASHINGTON Dec. 6.-Suppres-
sion of the white slave" traffic will
become the slogan of an increasingly
powerful movement, to which Presi-
dent Taft has given much encourage
ment in his comments to those who
have consulted with him on the sub
ject. Representative Mann of Illinois
will present a bill to congress pre-
scribing drastic penalties
The bill would make it a crime for
any person to aid, entice or force any
girl or woman to go from one state to
another for immoral purposes. whether
with or without her consent; with
penalty of five years Imprisonment or
a fine of $4,000. If the girl be 18 years
old or less the penalty provided is ten
years Imprisonment and $4,000 fine
The bill also seeks to carry out the
arrangement with foreign nations
known as "the white slave traffic
agreement" under which keepers of
immoral resorts are required to make
complete reports to the commissioner
general of immigration.

ONLY ONE WAY TO RETAIN
GOOD HEALTH. SAYS COOPER

the action of my heart and my bowels
were in wretched condition.
"I tried everything 1 could hear Of
for relief, but TO no purpose. l began
to feel that there was no hope for me.
I could do scarcely any work at all,
and felt most miserable all the time.
l had neither strength nor ambition
everything was a drag, even my very
existence. I could neither eat, sleep
nor work. Life did not seem worth
living.
For some time I had been noticing
the advertisements of the Cooper rem
edies in the papers, and seeing num-
Der Of statements from people who
claimed to have been greatly benefited
through their use, and whose trouble
was very similar to my own, l made
up my mind to try once more-it could
do no harm il it did no good. So
bought bottle of COoper's New Dis
covery and began taking it.
II began to improve from the first
dose, and grew better rapidly My ap-
petite was sharpened, my digestive or
gans began to do their work properly,
and l gained strength very fast. My
sleep became restful and refreshing,
and my bowels we're put into perfect
condition. l took a half-dozen bottles,
and am today in better health than for
years past. Last summer L picked
eighty-fve gallons of blackberries, be-
sides doing my other work. My neigh
bors all remarked how well I was look
ing, and I told them it was Coopers
New Discovery that was doing it.
II can never be thankful enough for
the benefit I have derived from the
Cooper medicine-I am 4 living witness
To it's marvellous curative properties"
Cooper's New Discovery is on sale at
all drug stores everywhere.-Adv.

ANDERsoN'S CONFESSION
SECUTED BY THE POLICE

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6.-The de-
tective department announced today
that Charles O. Anderson, who was
arrested last night and who confessed
that he killed William H. Schenider,
a bookkeeper Saturday night, lis not
the man for whom they have been
searching.
Detective Sergeant Dinan identified
Anderson as an ex-convict who accom-
panied him on the night of the murder
in search of another fugitive through
section of the city remote from the
scene of the crimes for which Ander-
son was arrested.
The police assert that Anderson is
merely seeking notoriety.

L. r. Cooper's theory regarding the
human stomach is rapidly becoming a
topic Of universal discussion. Cooper
claims that the human stomach has
become chronically deranged by mod
ern conditions, and that sickness gen.
orally is the result.
In a recent interview, while intro
ducing his medicine in a leading city,
Mr.. Cooper said "There is just one
way, in my opinion, to maintain gem
eral health, and that is by building up
the digestive organs. The vast ma
jority Of Americans today have weak,
nabby, distended stomachs. This has
been caused by many generations Of
overfeeding and lack Of exercise, until
today the entire civilized race is af-
fected. This is the true cause of most
of the i'll health of today. Little can
be done to relieve it until the stomach
is once more brought back to normal
condition.
Il am successful because my prep
aration puts the stomach in sound con-
dition, and I maintain this is the only
way to secure general and permanent
good health"
Among those who nave become firm
believers in Mr. Cooper's theory and
medicines through a personal test of
his claims, is Mrs. Anna Maring of
Dennison, Clark county, Illinois, who
lives on Rural Route No. l, Box 81.
Mrs Maring says: For years I have
suffered agony from stomach trouble.
l could not eat anything without hav-
ing the greatest distress afterward.
My appetite was pOor-did not care to
eat-afraid of the results that were
sure to follow. My digestive organs
did not perform their functions prop
erly and were a source Of much pain.

FIREMAN
WANTS TO DIE
ROBERT SCOTT DRINKS P0-
TlON OF CARB0LlC
Olympic Theater Employe Therefore
Finds Life Unenduring, but
Use Of Stomach Pump
Proves Effective

Unrequlted love was the reason Civ
en- for the dramatic attempt at sui
eide made by Robert Scott in the
dressing room in the Olympic theater,
523 South Main street last night, when
he drained the contents of a two-ounce
bottle of carbolic acid.
Scott, who has been employed for
three weeks as house fireman at the
theater. did not succeed in his attempt
to end his life, and after vigorous use
of the stomach pump at the receiv-
ing hospital, the loVe-sick fireman was
pronounced out of danger. He eX-
pressed his regret that he was not per-
mitted to die.
At first 1t was thought that Scott
mad become infatuated with one or
the chorus girls at the Olympic thea
ter, but from letters found in his poek-
ct IL was evident that he had been
spurned by a girl named Grace Car
penter. and in the letters the address
of the girl was given as 900 Temple
street.
Asked to Stay Away
Among the letters was one dated yes
terday in which, "Grace" stated that
she wished that Scott would keep away
from her home, as she did not wish
to have any more to do with him and
that whatever thoughts of marriage
she once entertained were dispelled by
the actions of Scott
Her writing was bitter and to the
point and she did not mince words in
telling Scott what she thought of him,
and derisively referred to his threats
to commit suicide
The attempt of Scott to commit sui
eide was not noticed by the audience
in the theater as he made his way
to the rear and entered one of the
dressing rooms, with the remark that
he would be dead before the perform
ance ended.
Rushes to Dressing Room
He made the statement repeatedly to
q number of the chorus girls who tried
to encourage him. Shortly after the
second act Scott rushed to the dressing
room and stated that he was going to
die.
A few minutes later he was found
gasping and heroic treatment before he
reached the receiving hospital doubt
less saved his life.
Detective Mccain investigated the
case and found the letters in Scotts
pocket, and it was clear that 1t was
an attempt at suicide.
Miss Carpenter. the girl in the case,
stated when interviewed that it mat
tered not to her whether Scott died or
not, as she had severed all relations
with him.
Scott lived with his mother at no.
