Woman Finally Receivers
From Nervous Breakdown

IMPOVERISHED nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be-
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge of
complete nervous breakdown. IL
is Of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good con-
dition, as the nerves are the source
OF all bodily power. Mrs. Anna

If you are troubled with loss of

thing to strengthen your nerves.
You may not realize what is the mat

why you should delay treatment.

No Honest Man Can
Support Taft, Says
Colonel Roosevelt

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 3o-State
Treasurer G. T. Taylor head of the pro-
gressive party in Tennessee has receiv-
ed a letter from Theodore Roosevelt
taking a fall out of President Taft and
Governor Hooper. The letter follows In
part:
81 need not say to you how I heartily
hope you will nominate progressive
ticket, composed of former Democrats
and former Republicans. This is third
party movement. Governor Hooper. as
understand. with the Republican or
ganizati tion has endorsed, or will endorse,
the fraudulent Chicago convention, and
will support its nominee. In my judge
ment no honest man, whether Repub-
lican or Democrat. can support Mr..
Taft and claim any right to the suf-
frage OF an honest man.
Stealing Is stealing, and to steal a
nomination is as bad as to steal a
purse. Any man who fails to come out
against the action of the fraudulent Re-
publican convention at Chicago has
forfeited all right to the support of the
rank and file of the Republican party
and of decent citizens generally.
"The Progressive party stands
straight out for the right of the people
to rule and for their duty so to rule az
to bring about social and industrial jus
tice.
i hope there will be no fiinching on
this issue"

COURT CR|ER ILL,
CRIES IN VAIN FOR
PAY WHILE AWAY
Uncle Sam Proves Hard
Taskmaster to Employe
in Arizona. Il

When q duly constituted court crier
becomes III, Uncle Sam gets his court
crying done gratis. Also Uncle Sam
can not pay any Of his court criers
temporarily or the Job. when they are
on their back crying for relief from
their ills.
These facts we're established and de-
termined by Comptroller OF the Treas-
ury Tracewell today, in answer to the
plea Of Marshal G. A. Overlook, Of
Phoenix, Ariz
Court Crier II. M. Calderwood, OF
Phoenix. was temporarily OF the job,
on account OF illness. When he returned
he asked for the back pay coming to
him. Marshal Overlook was not famil-
lar with questions OF back pay, and he
referred the matter to the Comptroller.
Mr.. TracewelI held that as Calderwood
was per diem employe he did not get
pay except for days that he worked.
While Calderwood was Ill, baiiiff of
the court performed his duties as court
crier. The baiiiff got no extra pay, the
court crying for this period, costing
the Government nothing.

NEWMAN|TES PLAN
GETTING TOGETHER
DISTRICT FACTIONS
Would Form Central Com
mittee, With All Repre-
Sented.

A plan to combine the three factions
of the Democratic party in the District
has been propounded by the adherents
of Edwin A. Newman. The plan will
receive the support of the Darr-Carr-
Benton faction, but the Costello faction
is violently opposed to the suggestion.
The Newmanites have come to the
front with the scheme of organizing a
central committee Of slxty-six members.
twenty-five from each faction. To COM
ply in some measure with the rule OF
the Democratic national committee that
the District committee shall have only
twenty-five members, 1t is proposed that
each of the sixty-six will be given one
third of a vote.
Being in control of the situation as
they believe, and saying that their COM
mittee Of twenty-five as now organized
Is the only regular central committee,
the Costello supporters can see no merit
in the Newman faction scheme. But
the Newmanites will appeal refusal
by the Costello faction to the national
committee, saying that the Costello
men are opposed to harmony and an
tagonistic> to the best interests of Will
son and Marshall.
The Newmanites have some friends
on the national committee. In the COIL
test between rival delegations at this
Baltimore convention, the Newmaite:
won the first round by getting the ma
tional committee to put them on tho
temporary roll. The credentials com
mittee later upset this arrangement ant
seated Walter Costello and his follow
ers. While the complexion OF the na
| tional committee has changed a little
since the convention. the Newman peo
pie still have some strength in tina
body, they say. and are hopeful of get
ting bacl: that power lost when tn,
Democratic primary vote was cast To-
| the Costello candidates.
But in the meantime the harmony

Attorney General Wickersham early
next week written statement of the
manner In which the National Packing
Company is to be dissolved, II the plans
of the company are followed. III this
plan of dissolution will accomplish the
same results which would be obtained
through successfud civil suit, the
Government will not file it's case.
District Attorney Wilkerson, of Chi
cago. and Crews called upon the At
torney General last week. Crews out
lined verbally the features of the plan
of dissolution arrived at by the Ma
tional Packing company.
without expressing an opinion. as the
matter was not officially before him,
the Attorney General then said thta,
from what Crews told him, he believed
the plan OF dissolution would be salts
factory to the Government.
This is taken to mean that the divi-
sion Of the company would be genuine
and that competition would be estab-
lished among the component parts after
the process Of dissection was COM
pieted.
When Crews returns to Washington
next week he will not be accompanied
by District Attorney Wilkerson unless

him to come.

TAFT Is ALARMED
BY POSSIBILITY OF
CANAL DEADLOCK
President Fears Two Houses
Of Congress Will Get Into
Helpless Tangle.

The Panama canal bill In the senate
is becoming more and more the center
or attention and OF controversy.
President Taft issgetting worried lest
there be q deadlock over the canal bill
between the houses and nothing done.
he has been calling members OF the
this week for the purpose OF urging,
that IL there is deadlock, a joint reso-
luton shall be passed which Will enable
the Administration to organize the oper-
ative force on the canal zone and open
the canal to traffic when II In finished.
While various members Of Congress
express the yfew that there will be n bill
patched up between the houses. the
outlook for a deadlock. and no pro-
force, IL sufficiently serious to occupy
the attention OF the Executive.
That certain railroad influences are
fighting tree tolls tooth and nail and
also the provision that WIN keep rail-
growing more and more apparent.
President Mellon, OF the New Haven
road, In reported TO be especially active,
end there are interesting stories going
the rounds about the influence OF the
New Haven being exerted TO keep GER
tain New England Senator's here, to
prevent action favorable to free tolls,
and against the use of the canal by
railroad-owned vessels.
Another interesting phase of the mat
ter Is the fact that Great Britain is
now proceeding In a most leisurely way
in entering her detailed and formal pro.
test. This has given rise to talk In
Congress that Great Britain has per-
ceived that American blood has been
stirred up by the British action and the
effect is different from that expected
Not a few members Of Congress predict
the British protest will not be pushed
for this reason.
That the British protest, in the frs
place was prompted by Canadian rail
roads and American railroad influences
is strongly asserted in many quarters.
Meantime, the debate on the bill ir
| the Senate continues, but the 'progres!
being made is not rapid. Plans for de
| ferring action on the free tolls ques
ton are suggested. Senators Massey o
Nevada and Bradley of Kentucky yes
terday contended that this Government ha'
| the right to allow free tolls, and Sena
| tor McCumber contended otherwise.
That the Senators from the North
| eastern seaboard of the United state
are opposing free tolls through the Pan
| anna canal in the belief that 1t vii
| operate to the development of Southern
| and gulf ports at the expense of sucl
ports as New York, Boston. and Phila
delphia. is a growing belief among Sen
ators who have been investigating tn
Panama canal proposition.
