Mrs. Lena May Roberts, whose adj

finally found the right tonic in DR..
Williams Pink Pills. She says:
''For months after the birth OF my

breakdown in health was in bed for
three months and after that was able to
be up only part OF the time. | was

enough TO do any work.
As the treatment was taking did
not help me, began to take DR.. VIII
liams' Pink Pills, which a friend said
had helped her. Alter taking few
boxes, ] began to get well rapidly. 1
continued using them for a time and
am now as well and strong as ever in
my life. >
The value OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills
in general debility lies in their direct re-
spouse TO the needs of the blood Their
work is to make new blood. That they
do this we'll is shown by the gradual
disappearance OF the symptoms and
the return OF color and health They
lay the foundation for permanent health

cured anamia, after-effects of the grip
and fevers, rheumatism, indigestion,
and nervousness, dizziness, neuralgia
and st. Vitus' dance, and are recon-
mended wherever tonic for the blood

way that the Home Secretary did.
Their theory was that Morrison ought
to be turned loose altogether. Even
the rabidest upholders of ancient in
stitutions like the British courts and
the British Home Office said so. This
man is either guilty or innocent of a
foul, coldblooded murder" as the
London Express put it. IF the man
is guilty he ought to le hanged. If
he is innocent he ought not to suffer
penal servitude for life.
Now the matter is coming up in
the House of commons. The Home
Secretary is to be asked from its floor
shortly to explain himself. The prob
abilities are that the final outcome will
be Morrison's release but it has taken
tremendous connection to accomp
lish it and British judges and Juries

Persons Driving on Public Highways
VIII Not Have to Turn Aside
When Motor Car
Approaches.
PRESENT Law GOOD
BY Terms Of Bill Liability Was Plac-
ed on Person Who Did Not
Turn out-sisns Insurance
Bill.

Governor Carroll has refused to at
tach his signature to the bill by Rep
resentative Dunlap of Clinton county
requiring persons driving on a public
highway to turn aside when motor
car approaches.
BY the terms of this bill the liabil- I
ity was placed upon the shoulders of
the person who refused to turn out
upon signal from motorist, for any
damage that might result.
1t is to this section that the gov
ernor is opposed. He declares that
much harm will come from it if it be-
comes law. He sent the bill back to
the legislature once, but it came back
to him unamended. Hence he refuses
to sign it, which amounts to a veto.
The communication sent by the
ward, explained his action as follows:
Hon. w. G. Hayward, Secretary of
State-Dear Sir: Herewith | trans
nit to you house file No. IA, without
my approval, for the following rea
sons:
/ AS to the purpose of the bill have
no objections, but it's provisions regu-
lating passing when one party over
takes another are entirely too dras-
! tic and in my opinion will, if it be-
comes law, lead to much abuse and
even litigation.
The bill is modelled. in some re-
spects, after the New York law. but
! it goes much beyond the provisions OF
the statutes of that state We have
very good law now with regard to
] passing on the public highways when
parties meet, and should have a law
regulating passage when one person
overtakes another. but it is my opin-
ion. and in this am supported by the
judgment of the attorney general, that
/ this bill goes to an unreasonable ex-
tent and opens the way for much
abuse.
The bill was by me returned to the
legislature with the request that the
part which I have referred to be SO
amended as to remove the objection
able features, but in the last days of
the session it was again sent to me
without amendment | do not feel that
i T can give it my approval without do
ing an injustice to the public, hence.
as required by section 16, article 9
of the constitution. I herewith file It
, with you with my objections. Respect

ENGLAND STIRRED
OVER CONVICTION.
Morrison Murder Case Causes Lot
Of Talk About innocent Man
Being Con-
demned.
SENTENCE COMMITTED
Police Were WhItewashed But Nobody
Is Much Impressed by
the kalsomin-
ing.

EBy Charles P. Stewart, London Cor
respondent for the United Press.]
LONDON, May 12.-There is an aw-
full row on in England over the Stinie
Morrison murder case The Morrison
case was just once when the courts
pverdid their old game Of convicting
an innocent man rather than not con-
vict anybody. That is to say, Morri-
son is probably innocent of the muir
der of Leon Boron last New Years
day. He says he is, he has fairly
good alibi and the police had hardly
a particle of evidence against him.
English judges and juries consider 1t
b disgrace, however, to let anyone get
away from them According to their
ideas, they are unfolding the majesty
of the British law when they hang a
man. So they found Morrison guilty
and Justice Darling sentenced him to
lbe hanged. Morrison took his case to
the Court of Criminal Appeal but the
appeal judges were the same kind of
people as the ones who found the
original verdict and they refused to
interfere.
Upon this there arose tremendous
cutlery The thing was little too
ascandalous even for the English ideas
of Justice G.. K. Chesterton, for in
stance, wrote as follows: Everyone
knows that the case for the prosecu-
tion was from the first in state OF
progressive collapse. First one wit.
ness deserted and then another. A
man and woman Swore against Nor
rison Later the man and the woman
admitted they had lied. A policeman
gave evidence against the rest of the
police. The prosecution actually came
into court with half its case dishonor
ed and destroyed. It's chief supporter
behaved like one possessed of devils
But through all this the prosecution
went smiling while their case crashed
to the earth on every side. Against
Morrison almost nothing remains
Claude Lumley, Morrison's solicitor
tried to take the case to the House
of Lords, which is the British cour'
of last resort, but the law provide:
that criminal appeals cannot go as ia,
as this except with the permission o
the attorney-general. Attorney Gen
eral Sir Rufus Isaacs refused thi? per
mission This seems rather queer Blu
he did.
Then Solicitor Lum1ey drew up
petition for his clients pardon and 50
1923 people took the trouble to call a
his Office and sign 1t in only three 0
-four days
Finally the pressure became so Sc
yvere that Home Secretary Winsto
Churchill decided, much as the HON
Office dislikes to save a man from tn
gallows, that he must defer littl
to public sentiment. So he commute
Morrisons sentence to life impriso1
ment OF course this amounted to a
admission that the conviction was
mistake. Accordingly. inasmuch a
Morrison was innocent, the Home Sc
rotary was willing not to do anythin
more to him than to shut him up fe
the rest of his lifetime
But this didn't stop the clamo
Other people didn't reason the sam

The governor has signed the insur-
ance omnibus bill of Auditor of State
Bleakly, which he has been holding
up. He placed a different construc
ton on certain sections of the meas
ure than did the auditor of state.
Finally securing an opinion from the
attorney general, and upon an agreed
construction of other provisions of the
bill with the auditor of state, the gov
ernor signed the measure.
The governor also signed the CLARK
son mining bin Saturday This is the
last of the bills before him, and com

him by the general assembly.

: :"
haven't come out of it very creditably.
The consensus of opinion is that they
are altogether too fond Of hanging
people.
The police haven't gained much
credit from the Morrison case, either.
They have been whitewashed, it is
true, but it was rather too obvious a
whitewash to have impressed any
one.
Leon Beron's murder was a particu-
larly brutal one and the police depart
ment came in for some pretty severe
criticism for delay in catching the
murderer. 1t is fairly apparent that
they finally made up their minds that
they must do something to save their
faces So Morrison was selected for
the victim He had served term IN
an English prison, for one thing. This
made it easier to fasten the Boron
murder upon him. Then, too, he was
Russian and there has been a GOOD
deal of growing in England lately
about criminal aliens, hence. it seemed
likely that his conviction would be
popular.
Where the police made their mis-
take was In falling to fix" their wit
nesses SO that they would stick to
their stories. On direct examination
they did we'll but under cross-examin
sation by Barrister Abinger. on Morri-
sons behalf, one after another OF
them went completely to pieces until.
as G. X. Chesterton expressed II,
against Morrison almost nothing re-
NAMED
The climax came when Policeman
George Greaves took the stand. De-
tective Sergeant Brogden. who arrest
ed Morrison, had already testified that
the latter jumped to the conclusion,
before word had been said to him,
that he was wanted for the Boron
| murder. Greaves' story was that he
himself heard Brogden tell the prls
oner what he was wanted for-Brog
denis own remark being the flrst rel
erence anyone had made to the Boron
/ case.

pass unnoticed, so an investigator
