HABEAS CORPUS AMENDMENT

Lunacy as Justifying Crime

ROCHESTER, January .21.-In a report
which scathingly rebuked the efforts TO
liberate Harry X. Thaw from the Mat
teawan Asylum, the special committee on
the commitment and discharge of the
criminal insane today recommended to
the thirty-third annual meeting of the
New York State Bar Association the
amendment of the habeas corpus law.
1t is suggested that the law be so
amended that a person confined i'm a pri-
vate asylum may ask for a writ of habea.
corpus at any time and without support
ing affidavits. but that person confined
in any state hospital for the insane, or a
state hospital for insane criminals, or a
state hospital for insane convicts, may
make an application for a writ of habeas
corpus only upon a written verified pe.i-
tion accompanied by certificate made
under oath by two qualified medical ex-
aminers in lunacy.
These examiners must make affidavit
that the person is sane. and give their
reasons. Then the application for a writ
may be made to any court having juris-
diction. After that the case takes its
usual course.

Russia and Japan Decline
Manchurian Proposal.
PERCEIVE NO ADVANTAGES
China Would Not Benefit by Neu-
tralization Project.
CONCLUSIONS NOT QUALIFIED
Mikado,s Government Presents Con-
clusions Without Argument
or Qualification.

TOXIC, January 21.-The reply Of the
Japanese government to the United States
proposal for naturalization Of Manchu-
rian railways was handed to American
Ambassador O'Brien this afternoon. It
is polite deciination.
No fntimation of the contents Of the
memorandum of reply is given. The best
information obtainable indicates that the
communication is brief and that the decli-
nation to accept the naturalization prop
osition is based on several grounds.
Chief Of these reasons are:
The American plan would be of no ad-
vantage whatever to Japan.
1t would afford no advantage to China.
1t would not change the commercial
situation in Manchuria. where Japan is
adhering strictly to its pledges OF an
open door and equal opportunity.
1t Is understood that the reply is
couched dn terms of friendly appreciation
OF the American purpose. 1t is not of an
arEumentative character and its conclu-
siOns are not qualified.
Russia Rejects Proposal.
ST. PETERSBURG, January 21.-Rus-
sia's reply to Secretary knoxs note. pro-
posing the naturalization Of the Manchu-
rian railways was delivered to AmbaS-
sador Rockhill today.
IL has been understood generally that
Japan and Russia would take identical
action on the American proposal.
The Russian communication rejects the
proposal for the naturalization Of exist
ing railroads..
1t states also that the Russian govern
ment considers the alternative PROPOSE
ton, for It's participation in an interna,
tional syndicate for the construction VI
the Chlnchow-Aigun line, acceptable III
principle; but, because OF the poIitlca
and strategical Importance of the enter
prise and its bearing on the east Cninese
railroad, Russia will defer final answer
on this subject pending the receipt or IN
formation as to the principles oI the
American project
Russia reserves the right to pass upon
all such projects as affecting its poiticas
strategic and economic interests.
The note of reply throughout Is In
friendly tone, and the American proposi-
ton is criticised strictly on its intrinsic
merits.

Negotiations May End Here.

Press teleerams from Toxic and st.
Petersburg received this morning. to the
effect that the proposal Of the United
States for the naturalization OF the
Manchurian railways had been rejected
by both Japan and Russia, were read
with great interest at the State De-
partment.
Secretary Knox and Assistant Secre-
|tary Wilson were not at the department.
They had been called to the Capitol TO
explain certain estimates of apprOpria-
tions recently sent to Congress:
Although the subordinate officials de-
|clined to comment on the Information OF
had received confirmation Of the report,
from unofficial sources. the State De
passession pos ss of of the information that the
action announced by Japan and Russia
today might be looked for.
State Department Disappointed.
There is no doubt that this result of
Secretary Knox's effort TO eliminate the
!Manchurian railways from the politics of
the far east, thus minimizing the danger
of war, is a keen disappointment to the
officials.
Secretary knoxs plans, as announced
in his original note to the powers, clearly
indicated the unSelfiSh and diSlntereSted
position of the United States with re-
spect to Manchurfa, except to carrying
into practical effect the doctrine OF equal
opportunity to which all the nations had
subscribed.
Whether the matter will end with the
action OF Japan and Russia Ia problemat-
ical.
1t is believed to be quite possible that
with the rejection Of the proposition to
neutralize the railroads in Manchuria
owned by Russia and Japan the United
States may turn its attention to the Ques-
ton of financing, in conjunction with
Great Britain and other European nations
the construction of the proposed Chin
Chowfu-Tsitshar railroad.
Extension to Aigun.
This proposed line extends from Chin
Chowfu in a north and northeasterly
direction to Tsitshar, on the Manchurian
frontier. 1t is not improbable that an
extension may also be built northeasterly
to Aigun, on the Amur river. which di-
vides Manchuria from Russian territory.
This road will be about 400 miles in
Amur its total length will approximate
600 miles. This road will tap the Russian
TranS-Siberian road at TSitshar.
This proposition formed a part of Score
tary knoxs alternative naturalization
plan. 1t seems probable that all the
powers, including Russia and Japan, may
signify willingness to cooperate with the
United States In neutralizing this par
ticular road.

Are Drugs Necessary?
Do Drugs Cure Disease?
Can Nature be Assisted?

II person would correct his habits,
persist in right eating and temperate
ways, undoubtedly the stomach would
right itself, tho blood would rid itself Of
the poison, and everything would be
right. But as said before there are &
multitude Of people whowill not or can
not adopt right methods of living. To
such people Poruna is a boon. A dose
before meals Will assist the stomach to
do its work. This prevents fermenta-
ton Of the food, brings about normal
digestion, and all the train Of ills that
follow indigestion disappear.
In other words, Peruna is helpful to
those who live badly, or those who
have acquired some chronic weakness.
Peruna does not cure, but it assists the
powers Of Nature to bring about a cure.
The whip does not increase the power
of the horse to pull a lead, but Judi
ciously used it stimulates the horse 70
use his powers at the right time, with
out which he could not have pulled the
load.
This illustrates the effect Of Peruna,
or any other good remedy upon the sys.
tenn. Taken at the right time, it calls
forth the powers of the human system
to meet the en- roachments Of disease,
andthus cuts short, If not entirely ends,
the diseased action.
No n should ever attempt to substi-
tute medicine in the place Of right liv-
ing. In the end such an attempt will
prove n disaster. Butan occasional use
of the right medicine atthe right time
is a godsend, and no reasonable person
Will undertake to deny it.
Those who know how to use Peruua
find it of untold value. BY and by the
world will get wise enough so that
through correct living no medicine at
all will be needed. But that time has
not arrived. IN The meantime, while
the world is approaching that pe-iec-
ton in which all medicine will be elm
mated, Pcruna is a handy remedy TO
have in the house.
Slight arrangements Of tho stomach;
slight catarrhal attacks of the liver, the
throat, bronchial tubes, lungs or bow
els; these attacks are sure to lead to
grave diseases, and can be averted by
the judicious use of Peruna.

II people were born right and after
wards lived right, there would be no
use for medicine. Every doctor knows
this. So do other well-informed people.
One thing more. When n person lives
wrongly, or acquires bodily weakness by

little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
eharlatans claim that medicines viii

the fire. ~Instinctiyely he vets his
finger in his mouth, then blows on it
for the cooling effect. This is no cure.
He knows it very well. But it makes it
feel better for the time being.
People eat unwisely. This produces
dyspepsia or indigestion. The only
rational cure is to eat correctly. Yetif
palliative is at hand the pains Of indi-
gestion can be mitigated, the throes of
dyspepsia assuaged. The medicine can
not be said to have cured. 1t simply
palliates disagreeable symptoms. The
cure must come through right living.
Take Peruna, for instance. No one
claims Peruna is a cure for dyspepsia.
But Peruna will stimulate the stomach
10 perform its function properly. Peru
ma will increase the flow of digestive
fluids, without which digestion cannot
be carried on at all. / win increase the
relish Of food, the appetite.
1t is admitted that all this can be
accomplished by right living, but there
are SO many people who either will not
or do not know how to eat correctly that
q tremendous amount of good can be
done by the wise use Of Peruna.
A stomach that has been frequently
abused performs the function OF diges-
zion very lazily. Such stomach allows
the food TO remain undigested for some
time after It is swallowed. This leads
TO fermentation Of the food. Sour stom-
ach is the result. This goes IN week
after week, until the blood is poisoned
with the products of fermentation. This
condition is very apt to produce rheum-
atism.
tits NOT claimed that Peruna win cure
rheumatism. Nothing will curer heum-
atism but correct living. But it is
claimed that Peruna will assist badly
ebused stomach to perform its work.

The woman who aspires to be a

miliar with the best materials as a
workman is with his tools or an
artist with his colors. She should
know that the absolute essential
to good baking is good baking
