told. Stevenson and Representative
kustermann of Wisconsin, who has al
so been attacked because of his oppo-
sition to shipping subsidies, have APP
peared before the subcommittee and
have oHered specific information in
the Stevenson resolution that the SER
chant Marine league is raising money
from interested parties and trying to
influence and intimidate members of
congress to vote for the general ship
subsidy grab.
Mr.. Stevenson demanded the ap-
pointment of committee of seven
members to determine:
Whether a conspiracy exists for the
purpose of promoting legislation in
congress and unduly influencing MEM
bers of congress.
What funds have been raised for po-
litical agitation and for payment to
political organizations.
What funds have been used to in
Ifiuence newspapers or create public
sentiment in behalf of subsidy legisla-
ton
Whether threats of libelous or scam
dalous articles or other intimidations
have been used against members of
congress.
Whether improper means have been
used either to promote or defeat SUBJ

letters that have been sent out from
the headquarters of the Marchant Ma
rine league at Cleveland. Ohio, attack

From Death Bed to Pie and Coffee

FIFTEEN DAYS WITHOUT FOOD
Nurse Says: Taking Life in Your Own Hands," When
Mr. Mike Kasovitch Was Carried Out of Hospital
to Fer Don's Medical Experts

Walla Walla is at present in the
midst of an excitement beyond any
thing that it has experienced in re-
cent years. Old and young, rich and
poor, all seem to have become besides
themselves over an individual and
his associates. The men who have
created all this turmoil are Fer-Don
and his medical experts and bloodless
surgeons, who are at present intro
ducing their new medical discoveries
and radio treatment at the State hotel,
Wal Walla. Hundreds of prominent
citizens indorse Fer-Don and his medi-
cal experts. Among the many marvel
Gus cures performed by these experts
is the following Endorsement:

Ibeen for years, but the boycott, or talk
of boycott, seems not to have had the
slightest effect upon their selling

1t is to be presumed that thousands
of people did stop eating meat for a
while, and that many other thousands
reduced their daily consumption. In
deed, many are compelled to do so, re-
CARELESS of sentiment. because their in

the trouble seems to be that the avail

Unearth Account
Of "The Deluge''

PHILADELPHIA, Mar. 18.-The
discovery of a fragment of Cuneiform
tablet believed to be of the period Of
2100 B. c., bearing an account of the
deluge described in the Bible and
agreeing with the narrative of Gene
Sis was reported here tonight by Pro-
fessor H. V. Hilprecht at gathering
of friends of the University of Penn
syvania at the home of Provost Har-
rison.
This fragment, which has just been
deciphered, was one of those excavat-
ed from the lowest strata of the old
est part of the ruins of the temple
liberty of Nippur and was brought
here by the expedition sent out by
the University of Pennsylvania in
1899. 1t is of unbaked clay and mea-
sures 2 34 inches at it's greatest
length and 23-S inches at it's greatest
width
Translation of inscription.
AS translated by Professor Hilprecht
the narrative contained on the tablet
follows:
"Q declare unto thee) That confess
of Heaven I will loosen, deluge
will make and it shall sweep away all
men together; but thou (the Babylon
ian Noan) seek life before the deluge
cometh forth; for to all living beings,
as many as there are, l will bring
overthrow, destruction, humiliation
build a great ship and total height
shall be it's structure. 1t shall be a
house boat carrying what has been
saved of life With a strong deck
cover. The snip which thou shall
make, into it bring the beasts of the
field, the birds of heaven and the
creeping things, two of every thing
instead of a number, and the
family---"
The oldest tablet heretofore con-
tanning an account of the flood is the
"Layard deIuge tablet" now in the
British museum but the latter only
dated from $50 B. c.
The Layard tablet agreed with the
details of the biblical narrative in only
a few particulars.

SHERIFF CLOSES HAMEL BAR,
Officer Takes Hand In the Village
Saloon War.


Saloon War.
Minneapolis. Sheriff Otto Lam
gu, of Hennepin county, locked the
doors of both of the saloons in
Hamel, the town 16 miles west of
Minneapolis where the district school
house was dynamited and set afire
last Tuesday morning. The dynamit.
ing of the school had been attributed
to the saloon war which has ragged in
the little hamlet for several years
and kept the people in state of ter.
ror with it's several fires and threats.
When he was informed that James
Sheridan, whose license expired Thurs
day night, and who had been warned
to cease selling liquor, was operating
his saloon in defiance of the edicts
of the county attorney and the sheriff,
Sheriff Langum hurried to the town
and closed not only Sheridan's place,
but that of his rival, John Scott.
May Deny Both Licenses.
After the dynamite outrage of Tues
day morning it was discovered that
both saloons are within 1900 feet of
the schoolhouse, contrary to the pro-
visions of the state law. Sheridan's
application for renewal of his Ii
cense was held up, and it is declared
that his appeal will be denied next
Monday, when the county commission
ers meet On good authority it is de-
clared that the license granted May
rs to Scott also will be revoked. This
will leave the little town dry.
