Alderman Henry II. Curran. when seen

FOR ZELIG'S ARREST

been on Becker's squad only three or
four days before. transferred to make this
particular arrest. and then reinstated on
the strong arm squad shortly after
ward" said Judge Wahle Isn't II rca-
sonable to suppose that il was done on
Becker's request. and two Of his men
taken away from the pursuit OF their
regular duty in raiding TO make surer the
accomplishment Of the ends he was seek
ing? Why wasn't the arrest made Ia tho
regular routine OF police duty. If that
were not the case? These circumstances
only lend strength to Zelig's contention
that the whole affair was frame-up.
Steinert and White had made no other
arrest during the time they were trans
ferred from the strong arm" squad and
delegated 10 special duty in the Detective
Bureau. 1t was said.
indignant Denial by Becker.
Becker and his friends were inclined to
turn the incident of the discovery from
the police records that Steinert and White
were not OF the strong arm" squad when
they arrested Zelig in favor Of the police
lieutenant yesterday. Becker was seen
when he was brought over from the
Tombs to the Criminal Courts Building
for pleading to the first indictment found
against him. The indictment filed by the
grand jury Tuesday superseded the first
one. and he was taken back TO his cell
without having been brought into court.
He will plead TO the latter indictment to-
day He Indignantly denied the story told
by Zeig that Stenert and White had
"jobbed" him through Becker's influence.
"It only shows how these gangsters
are lying" said Becker. "Steinert at
that time was attached 10 the staff Of
Inspector Hughes. Look It up. You will
find that / am right. White was not on
my staff. Steinert was formerly Oh my
staff. but was transferred 10 that OF In
spector Hughes. When Zelig was ar
rested [ had no more TO do with it than
you did.
These gangsters and gamblers are try
ing TO put up a connected story against
me. but the point Is that when YOU tell
the truth you have to tell the whole
truth or you are shown TO be d liar"
An explanation OF Zellg's arrest offered
at Police Headquarters yesterday was
that Steinert was transferred 10 Inspec-
tor Hughes's staff Just prior TO the ar
rest because he knew a good many Of
the gangsters against whom the police
were directing d crusade on account OF
the boldness Of their operations. White
had already been attached to the detcc-
tive bureau stan, II was said. Com
plants about Zeligs operations had
come to Police Headquarters at that time
and steinert and White were instructed
to 20 out and arrest him

LETTERING THE ROADS.

When it is stated that it costs every year the sum of $400, 100000 to haul the farm products to market and the necessary supplies to the farm, it is realized that 1t Is an enormous expen- allure of money which comes under the head of transportation over high ways throughout the country. It will be admitted that this expenditure should be reduced, and in these days of better roads it is easy to see how the good-road movement can greatly assist in this direction. Good roads have accomplished wonders in all sec- tions, and if they existed throughout ,t the country then the highway trans portation account would diminish by a half. Nothing would be more well ccned by the farmers, who would not only get this reduced cost of getting to market but he would also have the value of his farmland automatically increased.
 What part the government can or will take in such scheme lies in the future. Suggestion has been made that money available in the postal savings SSotcni SOuiN Oe tuAHc to Soou use III that direction, being diverted as a loan for better roads. That the govern ment may sooner or later show a greater interest in this direction is in dicated by the effort to that end start ed in the recent congress. Whether it attempts to go into the road building on its own account it can give the movement great aid by actively CO., operating with the several states.

Dr. Hartman Writes:

Columbus. Ohio, July 15.-In reply to many letters about my recent article on catarrh and constipation I wish to make the following statement:
 Constipation is becoming more prev alent every day. Nearly one-half of the human family are troubled with it more or less. This fact presents a serious complication in the treatment of chronic disease.
 Thirty years ago when was pre- scribing Peruna every day only small fraction of the people needed a laxa- tive. But I have found by experience that more and more laxative must be used.
 Peruna originally contained no lax ative element. l used to prescribe the laxative Manalin to be used ir case a laxative was needed. This ne- cessitated the patient buying two bot ties of medicine instead of one.
 AS constipation became more gen era1 I finally concluded to add a laxa- tive element to Peruna. The new Pe- runa is made with a laxative in gredient. The old Peruna (Ka- tar mol is without laxative. On that account some prefer the old Peruna, some pre-. fer the new Peruna.
 The new Peruna is for people wht have some catarrhal ailment and ye need laxative. Sold at all drug stores The old Peruna (Ka-tar- -no) Is foi those people who have some catarrha ailment but need no laxative Those wishing to procure the olt Peruna should address The Ka-tar-n Co.,, Columbus, Ohio, for further par | ticulars.

THE CALL TO THE GREEKS.

No better example of patriotism and allegiance to their country is displayed than that being shown by the Greeks throughout the country in returning to Greece to help fight for their coun- try in the stand for better conditions in Macedonia. From all sections of this country Greeks who are in the reserve forces of the Grecian army are assembling and returning to their native land in response to the order for the mobilization of the reserves. At the first call they began to make preparations to depart and large contingent is now on their long jour ney home. This is being done at no little sacrifice on the part of the Greeks, for they are unquestionably leaving jobs which pay them a great deal more than they will receive as soldiers. to say nothing of the hard ships which will have to be endured.
 Not only the reservists but others who have the welfare of Greece at heart and feel the need of giving their support are joining the thousands who gre returning to get into the struggle. IL only requires the word for the Greek spirit to be manifested and have il demonstrated that while many thou sands are enjoying the privileges and opportunities of this councry, they have not forgotten the fatherIand and in response to the military call none goes more willingly than the Greek Even though they may be subject tt conscription they display s patriotism which thsN can hespr0ud of
