Better give pr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. which is pleasant to the taste and absolutely does not gripe.

BOWLERS FAIL TO
 SHAKE LEADERS

Detroit, Mich, March 15.--Another con- tinuous attack on the pins today faiied to disturb the leaders in any of the events in the tenth annual tournament of the American bowling congress. It IS now generally conceded that the present leaders will be the winners at the end or the tourney Wednesday night. While the scores in the individual events are uni- formly excellent, the two-men and five men team classes are something of dis appointment, as they are considerably below the winning counts of Pittsburg in last years tournament
 The last of the out-of-town lives shot tonight, and fourteen teams from Detroit will conclude that event tomorrow night.
 M. McMichaef and w. J. Knox of Phil edelphia scored 1191, the best score of the day, in their doubles, and took tempo rary possession of eleventh place.
 Michael Mauser of Newcastle shot 62S which was high for the day in the indi- viCiualS.

DEMOCRATS PLAN
 CAMPAIGN TO WIN

Hot Springs Ark. March 15-Norman F. Mack. of the Democratic national committee, and Chas. E. Murphy, of Tammany. both denied tonight the report that the councils of Democratic party leaders held here are for the purpose of freezing Bryan followers out of party affairs
 The statement has been published in New York and the authority given was "friends of Boss Murphy
 .sThere is absolutely nothing to the story" said MT. Mack. Then he eX- plained that MT. Bryan had made his position so plain not to again attempt party leadership that any alleged attempt to throttle MT. Bryan's influence would be unnecessary.
 There is nothing to the report, brief ly answered MT, Murphy. That ended the interview
 Mir Mack said the Democrats of the country were e unit in wanting only the strongest man for leadership, and that when it became apparent as to who was best man, the Democrats of the North, East South and West would unite in his support

ISWALSKY'S POLICY
 IS CRITICISED

St. Petersburg March 15.-During the debate in the duma today upon the appropriations for the foreign office Professor Milukoff, leader of the con stitutional democrats, sharply criti- cised the far eastern policy of Foreign Minister Iswolsky Taking as text Russias rejection of Secretary Knox s proposal for the naturalization of the Manchurian railways and the construc- tion of the -Chich ow- -Aiugan railroad, he declared that the situation in Manchuria was more serious than that in the Balkans, upon which pub lie attention has been conceptIN led.
 The minister, he said, had made g dangerous mistake in making common cause with Japan. Russian interests in Manchuria were too important to justi- fy the. government in antagonixing China in their points of difference. but Iswolsky's whole policy has been di- rected in this unfortunate channel.

Failure of Richmond Bank AZ
fects CoIored People Here.
TWO THOUSAND MEMBERS
Authentic Report Says That Grand
United Order Of True Reformers
Has Many Policy Holders In PENN
sula Towns and Counties.

According to authentic reports cir
: cuiated on the Peninsula yesterday.
fully 1000 negroes of Newport News,
Hampton, Phoebus and the adjoining
counties are members OF the Grand
United Order of True RtTormeis, the
, largest negro fraternal insurance so
! ciety in the world and are affected
by the failure of the True Reformers'
Bank at Richmond this week and the
subsequent suspendng by the State
insurance commissioner OF the license
of the insurance company to do bust
ness in Virginia. The failure of the
bank and the resulting embarrass-
ment OF the fraternal order came as
a heavy blow to a number of negroes
in this section. Many other negroes
of this section were hard hit by the
failure of the Gal lean Fisherman's
Bank at Hampton. which is an ad-
junct Of the Galilean Fisherman's fra
ternal insurance order.
Reports from Richmond yesterday
we're to the effect that the affairs OF
the True Reformers are in a hopeless
tangle and that the State authorities
believe that the insurance order will
be carried TO the wall by the failure
of the bank. II is said that the bank
carried more than 100000 of the de-
pos Is of the insurance company and
that the fraternal order will not be
able to pay 90 cents on the dollar TO
its policy holders. The order has a
large membership throughout the
South and up 10 the time OF the fail
ure of the bank 1t was generally re-
garded as the strongest negro iEsur-
ance society in existence.
Charges Gross Mismanagement.
In his order suspending the license
OF the insurance company, ]. n. Bren-
aman, deputy commissioner OF insur-
ance, sets forth that the license is
suspended ION account of gross mis-
management, IL not criminal neglf-
gence of the present and former man.

While the order of the deputy COM
missioner is effective no applications
for beneficial membership in any
branch of the association must be
considered nor any limitations permit
ted within the confines of the state
of Virginia. The order is to remain
effective until the affairs of the True
Reformers' Bank can be settled up.
II is reported from Richmond that
after the affairs of the bank are final
ly adjusted the insurance association
will be forced to the wall tHe1use of
its heavy losses due to the failure OF
the bank.

II is said that there are about

ties and that among the members are

JUDGE BARHAM MAY
DECIDE / TO-DAY
Opinion in insurance CASE
is Expected Late his
Afternoon.

Though the attorneys in the case
Yesterday expected that Judge Bar
ham would render his decision III
the insurance case at 10 o'clock
this morning, the judge said late
last night that he would not be ready
to hand down his opinion at that
hour. He would not commit himself
to any definite time for the render
ing of the decision and there is
possibility that It VIII not be deliv-
cred until late this afternoon or to-
morrow morning.
While some of them will be on
hand. it is known now that all or
the defendants in the case will not
be here when the decision is rem
dered. Should the judge overrule
the demurrer TO the two warrants
on which the insurance men were ar
rested the trial will be gone into an
defendants will come here for the
trial.
should they lose in their efforts
to er.ash the warrants, the defend
ants will make an effort to have an
outside jury brought here to try the
case and the hearing on the motion
for a jury from a distance Will con-
sume some time as about dozen
witnesses have been summoned.
The defense has practically staked
its ali on the demurrer to the war
rants and Judge Barham's decision
will about decide the case so far as
this court Is concerned. II he sus-
tains the demurrer the case will be
thrown out of court. but II he over
