Senator Dillingham; announced that
he proposed to press his resolution as

said he would offer amendments to
his own resolution. He then under
took brief review of the Lorimer
case which. he said. disclosed the fol-
lowing undisputed facts:
That Charles A. White confessed he

That grand juries Investigated the

WAR MINISTER DEAD
MAURICE BERTEAUx, MEMBER
FRENCH CABINET, is KILLED.
Premier and Son InIured-Several
Others Are Hurt When Aviator
Loses Control Of Airship.

Paris.-Henri Maurice Berteaux,
minister of war. was killed, Antoine
e. Monis. premier of France and min
lister of the interior. and his son, An
tome, Jr.. were severely injured. and
Henri de la Mourthe, an aged aeronau-
tic expert. and several others painfully
hurt when monoplane. driven by
Aviator Train, became unmanageable
and plunged into a crowd OF specta-
tors at lssy Les Molineaux.
The accident occurred at the start
OF what may still be the most ambi-
uous aviation event Europe has ever
known-a race from Paris to Madrid.
The distance is 900 miles, divided
into three stages. each aeroplane to
carry driver and one passenger.
So great was the interest in this
event that the premier. the members
OF his cabinet and 100000 spectators
were gathered at Issy, which field
bears the same relation to Paris that
Belmont park bears to New York.
To prevent the spectators from
crowding around the hangers and
upon the starting green, troops OF
cavalry we're stationed in the field.
Train had made one circle and, al.
though still quite close to the ground.
appeared to be in complete control.
AS he swung around the second time
troop OF cavalry moving across the
field appeared directly In his path.
Train moved his planes desperately,
hoping In the strong winds to rise
sufficiently to sail over the soldiers and
their mounts. He succeeded In rising.
but lost control of his machine, which
swung In the direction of group con.
tanning the most distinguished specta.
tors on the field. and then crashed
heavily upon them.
Premier Monis. his son Antoine. Jr..
Minister Berteaux. Henri de la
Mourthe, the latter famous throughout
were scattered right and left as
though they were ten-pins struck by a
ball. Berteaux. struck by the whirl-
ing propeller. was dead when taken
from the ground. The injuries to
Monis were at first believed to be IA
tai. but the doctors state that he will
probably survive.
Strange as it may appear, Train and
his passenger escaped practically un-
hurt. although their machine was
smashed to splinters.
Maurice Berteaux, the dead minis.
ter of war. was one o. the most bril-
liant men in France.

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, 53d e.
Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
In need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your commune
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed az care
fully as though you had personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
soax the liver into activity by gentle
Methods. They do not scour. they do
not grippe, they do not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are % feet of human
bowels. which is really sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness. indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have clear
complexion or enjoy good health. If
1 had my way / would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of Indigestion,
and SO paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are tonic
TO the stomach, liver and nerves They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is pu.
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, nc
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.
