WANTS FREDERICK TERMINAL
Senator Wells Would Divert Pro.
posed Drum Point Railroad

ANNAPOLIS, February q. - Senator
Wells of Prince Georges would divert the
proposed Drum Point railroad from Bal
timore city and make Frederick city the
terminal. He explained it was evident
that Baltimore did not want the Drum
Point road because Of the deep-water
connection, and as the people of south
ern Maryland wanted this road built and
those in western Maryland were prepared
to assist, he proposes the Incorporation of
the new road to be known as the Fred
erick. Washington and Drum Point Rail-
road Company.
The incorporators are Francis E. Baker,
G. A. n. Wells, Richard n. Ryan, Charles
els Owens. The corporate stock is fixed
at $4,000, and may be increased to
81. 100000 The usual rights are accorded
the company with reference to manner
of construction
The route given is as follows: To begin
at some point near Frederick city, run
through Frederick county, in and to the
District of Columbia at some point near
the District line station of the Chesa-
peake Beach railroad, along this road to
a point near Owfngs station, in Calvert
county. and thence over the old right of
way established by the Baltimore and
Drum Point railroad to a point where
the Patuxent river enters into the Chesa-
peake bay, at Drum Point and Solomons
Island.
Asked how the. southern Maryland
farmers would reach the Baltimore mar
ket. Senator Wells said connections could
be made with the Pennsylvania and Bal
timore and Ohio roads near the District
of Columbia line.

DON'T use DRUGS
FOR CONSTIPATION
Just Try Natures Cure

We all know that constipation
brings on countless other complaints

assisting her, and will, if continued.

There is now method of Internal
Bathing which will keep the intes-
tines as clean and pure and free from
waste as exacting nature can demand
which, taken occasionally, will pre-
vent constipation, biliousness with its
depression and the countless more
serious diseases which are caused by
the blood taking up the poisons from
the intestines and carrying them
through the system.
That method is the 81. B. L. Cas-

hint Of ACR|MONY
| IN STEPHENSON CASE
BristoW Tells Hepburn That
the Matter Cannot Be
Driven Through Senate.

Some Of the acrimony which is to mark
the discussions in the Senate of the
rights of Senators Stephenson and Lori
mer to their seats is being manifested
these days, although the debate has not
yet fairly started.
Senator Bristow created a stir yester-
day afternoon, when he asked what time
is to be given senators to study the testi-
mony in the Stephenson case.
IL will make the statement, In order
that senator's may be advised, that SO far
as may. within the rules Of the Senate,
it is my intention to ask the continuous
consideration of this measure until we
reach vote upon it," Senator Hepburn,
chairman of the Stephenson investigation
committee, replied:
How Much Timer Asks Bristow.
81 should like to know how vigorously
he expects to press it, Senator Bristow
remarked. "Some 1000 pages of testi-
mony have been presented to the Senate
within the past week, and some of us
desire to examine it and to make some
remarks upon the report Of the commit
tee. 1t is going to take time. I should
like to know about how much time the
senator expects to yield to those Of us
who want to prepare and thoroughly
look into the case
Il expect the Senate will either dis
cuss or VOTE retrted Mr.. Hepburn.
The senator can obstruct the business
Of the Senate by compelling senators 20
greatly Inconvenience themselves, by pro-
longing the discussion and taking days in
offering remarks that they might, with
time, be able to present in an hour or
two,' Mr.. BriStow remarked.
Il have no doubt they will be interest
ing remarks and Illuminating MI. Hey
burn commented.
Cannot Be Driven Through Senate.
THE senator may think he can drive
this through as a slave-driver would drive
the men under his CONTROL" replied Mr..
Bristow, but l think he will Ind before
he gets through that he is somewhat mis-
taken. There may be some reason why
he does not want this case properly con-
sidered in this body and the details of it
exposed to the view of the American
people in this way. In my judgment, 1t
will be presented.
"I hope so,'' from Mr.. Hepburn.
And the Senate will have an oppor-
tunity to pass judgment to whether
the majority or the minority are correct
in their report in this case
