Mistaken For Son Of Rich Man Young
 Artist Is Robbed
Taxicab Bandits Get Away and Police Try to Cover up
 Crime on the BlOtter
Especial from United Press.O


 New York, Feb. 21.-Mistaken for the scion of a wealthy house who had blazed a path along the White Way throughout the night with empty wine bottles, displaying each time he paid the check the ''proverbial roll that would choke horse," Robert S. Schearer, a young artist, was the vic tim, early today, of the taxicab band it's who have terrorized this city for a fortnight.
 Schearer was hustled into a taxi- cab just a short distance from the corner of 42nd street and Broadway by two men who had scraped an ac- quaintance with him in an all night restaurant. They went through him in the recesses of the cab, taking a watch and S3O, and, disappointed that they had not secured the thousands ing that they had mistaken their vic tim, they beat him into unconscious ness and tumbled him into the street.
 Schearer was found by the police where 1t was said, today, that he will recover. He was able to give the po- lice a good description of the men who assaulted him and in many re- spects it agreed with the decision of the men who, last week, beat two bank messengers unconscious and stole s25,000 from them.
 At the hospital, today, he told the police that he had been in restaur- ant getting something to eat when he iv One of thern smoke fo him and he, thinking he recognized him, nod ded a reply. As he left the resta urant they followed him out and asked him which way he was going. He said to the ferry to get boat to his home in New Jersey. They told him they had a taxi and were going that way and invited him to ride with them. He Jumped in and, as the door slam med, he says, one of the men grabbed his arms while the other went through his pockets. He struggled, tried to kick and scream and was hit over the head. That was the last he re- m em bered, he said, until he woke up in Bellevue Hospital.
 The police at first made an at tempo to cover up the crime by enter ing in the blotter that Schearer was suffering from alcoholism. His friends, however, say he never took a drink in his life and the hospital authori- when taken there.

A Reasonable Plea
 For the Stomach
If Your Stomach Is Lacking in Diges- tive Power, Why Not Help the
 Stomach Do Its Work?
Especially When It Costs Nothing to
 Try.

Not with drugs. but with a rein forcement of digestive agents, such as are naturally at work in the stom- ach? Scientific analysis shows that digestion, requires pepsin, nitrogenous ferments, and the secretion of hydro chloric acid. When your food fails to digest, it is proof positive that some of these agents are lacking in your digestive apparatus.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain nothing but these natural elements necessary to digestion and when placed at work in the weak stomach and small intestines, supply what these or gans need They imulate the gast ic glands and gradually bring the diges- tive organs back to their normal con dition.
 stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been subjected to critical chemical tests at home and abroad and are found to contain nothing but natural digestives. Chemical Laboratory. Photographic addr95s 955;o 6dnt ao SndGn SI,12i Tslephone church St., B. C..

CONTRACT ON COUNTY BUILDING IS TIED UP
 BY COURT ACTION.
Pending Hearing Set For February 20, Nothing Will Be Done About
 Mural Work.

New Haven, Feb. 21-By agreement of their counsel the members of the court house committee are restrained for the present from doing anything toward carrying out their contract with T. Gilbert White, the mural art ist and on February 29 they must show cause why a temporary injunc- ton should not be issued restraining them from going ahead with that con- tract,
 It Was after the session of the su- perior court came to an end yesterday afternoon that Attorneys John K. Beach. and Frank s. Bishop walked into Judge Curtis office behind the bench in the supreme court room. They brought with them an appli- cation in behalf of Henry w. Farnam, Isaac M. Ullman, Louis E. Stoddard, James Hillhouse, Frank s. Bishop. Henry F. English, Talcott H. Russell, Thomas Hooker. Harry G. Day ana Minotte E. Chatfield for a temporary injunction and an order to show cause why a temporary injunction should not be issued against the court house commission. With the counsel for the petitioners came Attorneys Arnon A filling, states attorney, and James H. Webb, representing the defendants.
 Judge Curtis, after looking over the papers, immediately signed the order to show cause and fixed February 2S at 1:30 in the afternoon as the date of the hearing.
 Judge Curtis then asked Messrs. Beach and Bishop if a temporary in- junction was needed to protect the interests of their clients in the in- terim between now and the date of the hearing. Counsel for the defend ants then said that they would stipu- late that the court house commission would do nothing In the matter of the White contracts before February 29. They did so stipulate and the counsel for the applicants announced that temporary injunction would not be needed under the circumstances.
 Judge Curtis then requested the lawyers for the defense to have their pleadings complete by the date set for the hearing so that the hearing could proceed without delay. This was also agreed to.
 The publication of the names of the applicants for the injunction was the surprise of the whole proceedings and the county commissioners were sur prised more than anyone else. Ev sry- one, including, apparently, the county commission, seemed to see politics ir the move in spite of the fact that the men who applied for the injunction are pretty well divided politically.

UNREST A WARNING
 SAYS GOV. HARMON
DEMAND FOR CHANGES A SIGN OF POPULAR DISCONTENT, HE TELLS KENTUCKY LEG
 ISIATORS.
ATTACKS FEDERAL EXPENSES
Better Results at Less Cost Is His Method of Bringing Relief to
 Burdened People.

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 21-Gov. Jud- son Harmon of Ohio warns the Ken lucky Legislature and all office hold CTS to anaIyze their own records to see just how much they were respon- sible for the unrest which was mak- ing a demand for Government inno- vations general Governor Harmon spoke at yesterdays session in answer to recent invitation of the LegisIa- tors, saying in part:
 ''Whatever we may think of the in novations in Government we are hearing so much about it behooves every one who holds a public position to make diligent self-search to find whether any shortcoming on his part figures in the unrest which the pro- posal of these changes signifies For, while some doubtless advocate them for other reasons, the greater number would not lend ear without some real or supposed ground for discon- tent with public agencies as they are
 "All are involved in the measures in question. Direct legislation is aim ed at the lawmakers as a body and the recall at the individual members, as we'll as at Executive officers, and Judges"
 Gov. Harmon told of two adminis- rrative changes made recently in Ohio, and concluded:
 needed now is better results at less expense. It ought not to cost a bil- lion dollars a year, or over $11 for each man, woman and child in the country to maintain the Federal Gov ernment, with its limited functions.
 "True, these are times of private city, which are much more numerous and expensive, cost together but lit tie more per head, and that is far too much.
 "True, these are time of private extravaganza, but that is no excuse for public extravaganza. Everybody may spend his own money as he pleases, but public officials spend oth- CT peoples money, much of 1t contri- buted under hardship and all of it for purposes. which make 1t sacred for every patriot.
 Federal expenses bear more heav- fly on the people than State and local expenses because the latter are rafs- ed by taxes on property only. while the former are chiefly raised by the tariff on articles consumed. So the per capita figure is not an estimate but a reality, because the poor man with a large family pays more Fed eral tax, than the rich man with a smaller family.
 we need other reforms, too, but this would bring quicker, greater, and more general relief than any other And reduction of the tariff taxes with care and economy in public expendi- lures, which go hand in hand, are a ready means to secure it.

FOES OF HOME
 RULE BEATEN
UnioniSt Attack on ASquith Cabinet Defeated by 324
 to 231

London. Feb 21-The Unionist amendment to the address in reply to the speech from the Throne, complain ing that the Government has not full filled it's pledges to reconstitute the House of Lords, came to a vote Tn the House of Commons, last night, ana was beaten by 324 to 231.
 The amendment was introduced Mon day by Frederick F. Smith, who all legged that the promised measure had not been introduced because of a con spiracy between the Ministry and the Irish Nationalfsts by which the home rule bill was to be forced through This charge was indignantly denied by Sir John Simon, the Solicitor-Gen- eral
 The attack on the Government was based on the fact that at the time the Lords veto bill was passed the Gov ernment announced that the measure would be followed by another provid- ing for the reconstruction of the up- per chamber. The Government, ac- cording to recent statements, will in troduce such a bill when time per mits." It insists that the home rule bill is of far more importance at the present time.

CHESTNUT TREE BLIGHT
 SWEEPS THE STATE.
Has Worked Destruction in Every
 Town Except, Four.

New Haven, Feb. 21-Every town in this state, with the exception Of four, has been visited by the chestnut tree blight to a greater or less extent, ac- cording to reports to the Connecticut Experiment Station. The worst To- caiity is still Fairfield county, but the pest appears to be extending some what rapidly into Litchf1eld county and is now definitely fixed in the counties east of the Connecticut River.
 The drouth that prevailed last sum mer appears to have weakened the trees and increased the blight, though hopes are entertained that it will be decreased somewhat by the rains of last autumn. Trees in exposed sttUa- tions are -thes greatest sufferers. No remedy has yet been found by the Tor esters of the state to check the blight, and the best chance for the trees is now a. series of normal seasons. The forestry department of the station re- peats it's warning to farmers against premature cutting of the chestnut woods, Or sales of the woods to IuEn- bermen, through fear of the coming pest.
