For Constipation
A Medicine That Does Not
Cost Anything Unless

Rexall Orderlies, which are odorless,
tasteless and colorless, is an entirely
new discovery. Combined with other
extremely valuable ingredients, it forms
a perfect bowel regulator, intestinal in
vigorator and strengthened. Rexall
Orderlies are eaten like candy and are
notable for their agreeableness to the
palate and gentleness of action. They
do not cause gripping or any disagree
able effect or inconvenience.
Unlike other preparations for like
purpose, they do not create habit, but
instead they overcome the cause of
habit acquired through the use of ordi-
laxative, dathartics and harsh physic,
and permanently remove the cause of
constipation or irregular bowel action.

SCENIC STUDIOS
 A NEW INDUSTRY
 FOR BRIDGEPORT
Latest Addition to Bridgeport's Varied List-BuiIding is
 Sought

By the opening of a scenic studio in Bridgeport by Edward B. Carns Bridgeport will add another industry to it's already long and wonderfully varied list.
 MT. Carns is one of the best known scenic artists in the business today and for some years has been one of the head men in the Lee Lash Studios famed the world over for their scenic productions.
 Mir. Carns has decided to go into business for himself and has select ed Bridgeport as an ideal city in which to locate. He has contracts on hand for scenery for two of S. Z Polls houses, and other work amount ing in all to about S3O, ,OO0. MT. Carns expects that his concern will do a business of at least 1000 a year and a number of expert men, painters and scene carpenters will be employed.
 President Fred Enos of the Board of Trade is helping MT. Carns out of the difficulty of finding a proper build ing in which to locate. He must have at least A feet in height, and plenty of light. and his requirements are rather difficult to settle off hand.
 MT. Carns' concern will be known as the Bridgeport Scenic Studios. and will be managed by Stewart Ives de Kraft, a we'll known local advertising man.

BERGER DENOUNCES TEDDY'S VIEWS IN
 M'NAMARA CASE
Especial from United Press.)

New York. May 5.-Socialist Con Sressman Victor Berger here, today, vigorously denounced the views of ex-President Roosevelt in the latter's article in the Outlook, that murder 1e murder in relation to the Los Angeles Times dynamiting. Berger said:
 Roosevelt seeks to reverse the | just principle that every man is in Innocent until proven guilty when he applies it to labor leaders. He ad- , roitly insinuates that Socialists have rushed to the aid of the accused men, That Is untrue. Socialists want the law enforced but they do not want laborers deprived of their constitu- tional rights They demand an in- vestigation to learn why union men are secretly kidnapped with the sanc- ton of the authorities, by a private detective agency while millionaire packers and bankers can procure writs of habeas corpus declaring them free one hour after they are arrested. Everything Roosevelt says is in the voice of class prejudice spoken by a conscious champion of one class who assumes the guise of 1mpartiality but deceives no thinking member of the class against, whose interests his tongue and pen are aI- ways employed"

COHEN SUSPECTED WIFE AND THEN
 NIGHT FRONTIERS
So He Piled Coin into Cash Drawer and Extemporized Burglar
 Alarm.

Jacob Cohen. 732 East Maian street, suspected his wife when last week on going to the store below his living rooms he discovered few dollars gone from his cash drawer. A few nights later he missed a couple of dollars more, and feeling that it was impos- sible for his wife to get to the cash drawer, he decided it was some prowl- CT.
 So last night he made a great dis play of piling money into the cash drawer that any passerby might see. Then he closed the place, and tied a string connecting with the knob of the back door up through the store to an iron rod in his sleeping room. To open the door was to disturb the rod and warn Jacob of the presence of intruders.
 At 2:30 this morning the rod fell over. Jacob leaped out of bed, stum- bled and fell in his excitement, and by the time he got down to the store there was no trace of anybody. He told the police his troubles, and Ser geant O'Connell promised to enlist the aid of the detective bureau to ferret out the identity of the man his inn provised burglar alarm failed to en- trdD

Probably no state convention ever held by the Foresters of America has created so much interest among Bridgeport Foresters as the coming grand court convention to be held at Hartford, May 10th and 11th, as the Bridgeport delegates have selected as their candidate for grand court hon ors, MT. F. J. Carroll, one of the most energetic and leading Foresters of the city,
 MT. Carroll is one of the organizers of Court Park City, No. 99 and has served six terms as chief ranger of ing courts in the city, much of it's success being due to his active work for its development.
 Mir. Carroll is at the present time in charge of one of the departments of The Thos F. Taylor Co. having grown with that concern from it's in- fancy to it's present place as one of the leading manufactories in the city.
 Twelve years ago, elected secretary of the Foresters board of directors, position without salary, but reouir- ing considerable tact, dealing as it does. with all matters pertaining to the management of Foresters' Hall, and its tenants, the unanimous elec- tion of MT. Carroll, year after year, Io lillS pOSlllOH, IS prdcClcdl endorse ment and proof of his excellent judg- ment and executive ability.
 The FOresters of America claims MT. Carrolrs closest attention but he is also a member of numerous frater- mites and active in the Ancient Or der of Hibernians, the Knights of St Patrick, is a past president of the Emmet club, and prominent in the United Irish societies, of which body he served as chairman of their last field day, which will be remem- bered as the largest and most sue cessful athletic event ever held here.
 In the selection of MT. Carroll, the local Foresters feel assured that they have popular and successful candi- date, and at a recent meeting, at- tended by IS of the 25 delegates who will go from Bridgeport, he was the unanimous choice of the caucus as their standard bearer, and pledged their loyal support.
 For representatives to supreme court convention at Detroit in Au- gust, Bridgeport will also present the names of John B. Lyddy, Thomas F. Keegan. and George Ellsworth, and are enthusiastic over their prospects.

 MEXICO
Americans and Other Foreigners in Mex leo City Prepare For Seeming
 Conflict
Special from United Press)


 Mexico City, May 5--So desperate is the situation in the city and sur- rounding country considered by the foreign colony here that steps for self protection have been initiated. Up on the suggestion of the French Club, the leading social organization of the foreign colony committees of all the foreigners have drawn up a list off all the avaibale able bodied men. Prep arations have been made for arming them in case of emergency and their services will be rendered to the gov- ernment for the purpose of protect ing life and property should it be necessary to withdraw the garrison from the city
 The report that Mazatlan finally captiulated to the revolutionists was confirmed at the War Office today, but there was no news of the fate of the citizens of the town. It is be- lieved however, that the persons and property of the foreigners would be respected if for no other reason than to obviate the necessity for interven- ton.
 From every part of Mexico reports are reaching Ambassador Wilson of the spread of anti-American feeling.
 
 ase is troubling the American offic ials here because, even though the peace negotiations should put an end to the civil war, there are likely to be demonstrations against Americans and probably an attempt to enact restric- tive laws aimed directly at them.
 All of Torreon, excepting the city It. self, is admitted to be in control of the insurrectoe, telegraph lines along the national railway are down. Through trains are reported stalled at number of points as the result of the destruction of bridges and culverts by armed bands.
 Government officials report that se- rious fighting Is in progress at many points in the south and southwest, but details are unobtainable. The general result, Is said, has been that the Federal forces have held their own in the larger cities and towns but have been compelled to abandon the outlying posts.

DIVORCED AT
 SIXTY; HAPPY
 JUST THE SAME
Decree Granted to Amelia Nor. rell Waine, Whose Husband Deserted Her

A sixty-year-old divorcee walked down the steps of the county court house this afternoon, got into her big automobile and was whirled away to- ward her home in Greenwich. Her name was Anna Amelia Morrell Waine, and she had just been granted divorce from Joseph Wa1ne on the ground of desertion. Although she was the oldest petitioner who has ap- peared in court of several years, she seemed to be in high good humor and not at all fatigued by her day in court
 The petitioner told Judge Reed that Waine wouldn't support her. He was very angry if she asked him for money and appeared to take the request as an insult.
 "I had to support him. Mrs. Waine declared. 'fHe didn't contribute a dollar to the household. One day said to him, MT. Waine, will you sup port me?'
 'He replied, No, won't, and Pm going to leave you Then he packed his clothes and left.''
 Mrs. Waine also charged her hus- band with striking her. She produced several witnesses who had seen the defendant hit her with his fist. Waine is now in Sheffield, England. It was in September, 1907, that the desertion took place.

Especial from United Press.) )

Hunnewell, Kan, May 5-Mrs. Ella Wilson, America's only woman Mayor, has proved herself of the militant brand by demanding that Governor Stubbs remove from office the five town councilmen who have refused to meet the MayOress or to confirm the appointment of Mrs. Alice Hilton as city clerkess, or Mrs. Rose Osborne as city marshal, the head of the police department.
 The councilmen-ali nen-declare they do not fear that the States Chief Executive will remove them.
 Mrs. Wilson has complained to the Governor that her administration in office is being hampered by the ob- structive attitude of the council mem bers. The suffragette Mayor pos sesses the town records and no busi- do until she is assured her wishes will surrender them. This she refuses to do until sh eis assured her wines will be carried out. There is to be an adjourned meeting of the city coun- ciI, Monday night, but Mrs. Wilson has notified the councilmen that she will not appear with the records unless they ''be good.' To "be good' they must confirm the appointments of the city clerkess and the chieftess O. pO- lice,
