SOUTHWESTERN ICE
 DEALERS IN SESSION

Hot Springs, Ark, Nov. 1.-The Southwestern Ice Dealers Associa- tion closed a very successful and largely attended annual meeting here today, with busy business session, and the election of officers late this afternoon.
 One of the problems which come in for the greatest amount of discussion was the matter of we ghts to the con- sumner and the best manner to avoid complaints from patrons in the mat ter of short weights. Nearly every delegate present had something to say on this question, for the iceman, it seems, is the recipient of many kicks from customers. No definite plan to eliminate this evil was reached how CT.
 Following the election of officers and the closing business of the ses- sion, trip to the ostrich and alliga- tor farm and a banquet at the Ar lington will finally close the meet ing.

is proven by the very large percent age of physicians prescriptions for same remedies found in every drug store in America, but as they are written in Latin, few patients realize this fact.
 The old standard proprietary medi- cines like Lydia D. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound, that have stood the test of time, deserve a place in every family med cine chest, and it is most certain they would not be prescribed by physicians if they were able to de- wise formula equally as efficacious.

TAFT BACKING UP
ON WATERWAYS?
SOME BELIEVE THE PRESIDENT
Is NOT QUITE so ENTHUSl-
AsTIC AS FORMERLY.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 5.--Has
President Taft changed his position in
regard to a bond issue for the inn
provement Of the rivers, harbors and
canals of the United States is a ques-
ton frequently asked in view of the
speech made by the president opening
the recent convention of the National
Rivers and Harbor Congress.
While it is generally conceded that
Mr.. Taft's speech was pitched In a
lower key than the friends of water
ways had reason to anticipate, the
president himself is authority for the
statement that he has not changed his
position as to the advisability of is
suing bonds to improve the nations
great natural highways.
In his remarks TO a notable gather
ing Of gentlemen representing the
Ohio Valley Improvement association
assembled in the east room Of the
White House on Dec. Q. President Taft
said:
Il observe that there are a number
Of gentlemen who think I cast a wet

You have enough experience with
congress to know that 1t is sui generis.
You have to deal with IL as a body
different from any other body. as II
is different form any other body being
representative of $50 odd districts Of
the United States, with different in
terests and differing views. When
you approach congress with a proposal
for the issuing of bonds, you are going
to arouse great opposition and that

and they will demand an answer not in
general expressions, not In resounding
oratory, but they will want facts and
estimates and a statement of some

they may even have to borrow In order
to carry through the enterprise. You

russell CASE IS
RECORD BREAKER
PRESIDING JUDGE SAYS IT Is
MOST PRoTRAcTED IN THE
WoRLD-coUsIN AIDS
CLAIMANT.

Boston, Jan. 5.--Judge Lawton, who
is presiding at the Russell will case
hearing said this morning that the
case was the most protracted one Of it's
kind in the world He made this state
ment in connection with the allowing
some objections regarding testimony
of Frank Lynde Of New York, a cousin
of Russells. Lynde was shown the slip
of paper which accompanied the lock-
of "RusselPs" mothers hair which the
claimant received. in his opinion, from
his Uncle Tom"
The witness thought that the writing
on the slip was that of his father.
This bit of evidence for the claimants
side grought forth furry of great ex-
citement and theu sual objections of
the attorneys for the opposition.
The claimant resumed the witness
stand and testified:
Il remember having a talk with the
stenographer In Mr.. Traxler's Office in
Minneapolis, did not dictate to a
typewriter, nor do I remember taking
the typewriter copy TO Mr.. Trailer
and telling him wanted him to make
a win.
Il do remember that I signed a
note for $500 or 5000 so he could go to
the bank and get some money.
Witness attention was called to his
testimony rewarding the robbery OF his
trunks and boxes during his absence
from his ranch last spring and he was
asked If after that he did not recon-
mend the man Brown (whom he had
left in CHARGE for employment. He
declared he had not recommended
Brown; that Brown, didn't DO enough
work to keep man warm In July il
he wore a sheepskin coat"
The claimant told OF his ranch life
in detail. Land out around Medora
has now all been taken up, so that
grazing liz scarce. Land win sell out
there at 81 or SO an acre, but people
would be fools enough to pay as high
as $40 or SIS an acre IL from the east
There now se ms to be a greater
prospect than ever before that william
c. Russell, one of the respondents and
the alleged brother Of the claimant,
win appear In court and take the wit
ness stand. IL he does so, there ID a
reasonable probability that his exam
ination by his own attorneys and those
OF the claimant will occupy at least
one week, and possibly three.

AADLEY ON FOOTBALL.
Yale's Head Says the Game ls Well
Worth the Prica.

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 5.-Presi-
dent Hadley Of Yale upholds football
in a signed statement. He says:
Football at Yale during the present
season mas worked well. We have had
a number Of sprained ankles. but only
two or three cases of more serious In
jury doubt whether this is a worse
record than that of baseball.
AT any rate. It Is small price to
pay for game which diverts the en-
ergies Of one kind OF boys from the
rowdyism and another kind for drink
ing.
IF we want to eliminate mass play,
we may do SO merely by abolishinging
all gridiron lines and making one com
prehensive rule that the ball changes
hands on every down unless the OPP
ponents have had fair and equal
chance to get possession Of 1t. This
would abolish mass play, root and
branch"
