.|S|DOR RAYNER'S L|FE ENDS;
NATION MOURNS HIS LOSS.
Statesman Passes Away In Home At
Capital.

Iaidor RaYner, Maryland senior Sen
ator, died Monday morning at his Wash
ington home, 1920 Eighteenth street
Northwest.
The insldious and persistent disease
that laid siege to his life during the
last two years, and made the last months
of his illness a continuous torture,
ceased its attack in the final hours, and
his end came peacefully.
At O. clock Sunday night his physi-
clans announced that the hope of an
other rally was past, and that the end
would undoubtedly come during the
night. Members of his family, who
had been at his bedside almost con-
stantly for two weeks, were again sum-
moned and took up the vigil that could
only end in death.
Even when they had given up all
hope, the marvellous vitality that had
made the Senator's fight against the
ravages of the disease such a dramatic
one. reasserted itself, and he fingered
past the hour that the most hopeful had
set.
Those at the home when death came
were William B. Raynor, son of the
Senator, and his wife; Albert Rayner of
Baltimore, brother; Archibald Ray
ner, grandson; Robert W. Wells and
Mrs Wells of Hyattsville, close per-
sonal friends, and George Foos, his sec
Rotary.
The announcement of the brilliant
statesman's demise was received with
profound regret in Maryland and in
Washington. William Rayner, his son,
notified some Baltimore friends, and
the news was around before the news
papers had given it to the public.
William Sheppard Bryan, Jr., who
was an intimate friend of Senator Ray
nor, gave the news to the members of
the legal profession.

Senate. The prohibition liquor measure
will be pushed in the House by Repre-
sentative Sheppard, of Texas, who will
succeed Senator Bailey in the next Con-
gress.
Energetic efforts will be made in both
houses to secure legislation amending
the Sherman Antitrust law and limit
ing contributions to political campaign
funds. The House Judiciary Committee
is under instructions by resolutions to
conduct an investigation into violations
Of the Sherman law, with view to pre-
pairing Legislation, and it is preparing
to begin the investigation Immediately
after Congress convenes.
Senator Kenyon bill amending the
Sherman law, which has been before
the Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee, will undoubtedly be brought up
for early action in the Senate.
Meantime the committee, headed by
Senator Clapp, will probably formulate
a measure limiting campaign contribu-
tions based upon its extensive investiga-
tions. Several bills on this subject are
pending in both House and Senate.
Efforts will be made during the session
to repeal at least part of the Canadian
reciprocity tariff agreement. The at
tempts failed last summer, when the
repeal was attached to various Democ-
ratio tariff bills.
The failure of Canada to ratify the
agreement left only the clause relating
to wood pulp and print paper in opera
ton.
Congressman now in Washington do
not expect any action on currency legis-
lation during the short session. The
House Committee on Banking and Cur
rency will proceed with its investigation
of the currency and credit situation with
considerable difficulty, and it may be
unable to conclude its investigation early
enough to submit any remedial measures
before March.
1t is practically certain that no action
will be taken on the Aldrich currency
plan bill submitted to the National
Monetary Commission.
In addition to these measures the
calandar of both House and Senate are
crowded with bills of more or less i'm
portance, most of which will die with
the passing of the SiXty-third Congress.

SECOND SESSION Of CON
GRESS To MEET MONDAY
The Session Will Be Crowded With
Business.

Washington, Nov 26. Congress will
re-convene next Monday for the last
short session of Republican control in
national legislation.
Comparatively few senators and Rep
resentatives had reached Washington
Sunday, but discussion has been active
dvring the last week among those early
on scene over plans for the winters
work and the prospects for the special
tariff session next spring, when all
branches Of the Government pass into
the hands of the Democrats.
While the veXing question Of the tariff
is not scheduled for consideration this
winter, the three months of the short
session will be crowded with legislative
work. In addition to the annual grist of
appropriation bills, Congress will be
forced to dispose of quantity of gen
eral and special legislative matter left
pending with the adjournment of the
long session in August.

the House will be busy shaping ap-
preparation bills, while the Senate is
disposing of the impeachment trial of
Judge Robert W. Archibald of the Com
merce Court, set to begin December 3.
Several important measures will be
pushed for early action in the Senate,
among them the resolution of Senator
Works, of California, to limit the Pres
ident to a single siX-year term; the
Shepherd-kenyon bill prohibiting the
shipments of liquor into prohibition
States, and the vocational educational
bill of Senator Page, of Vermont. The
bill of Senator Borah creating a de-
partment of labor is also scheduled for
early consideration.
The Department of Labor bill has
passed the House, but that body would
still have no act upon the Vocational
Educational bill and the six-Year Pres
idential term measure if they passed the

MANTELL WEBS AGAIN
lie NIarries Member of His Company
in Pueblo.

Pueblo, Col, Jan. 17.-Robert Bruce
Mantell, the actor, was married here to
Miss Genevieve Hamper of Detroit, a
member of his company Although
efforts were made to keep the marriage
secret, it became known that a mar
riage license had been issued and that
the ceremony was performed.
This is Mr.. MantelPs third marriage.
His second wife, who was known on
the stage as Marie Booth Russell, died
last November in her country home at
Atlantic Highlands, N. J., after an i'll
ness with Bright's disease She had
been i'll a long time.
The first marriage of Mr.. Mantell.
which was ended by divorce, hampered
the development of his talents as a
player of Shakespearean and classic
roles. He refused to pay the allowance
awarded by the court to Mrs Mantell
and became ''alimony bound,' never
daring to appear in New York city. He
declared at that time, 1899. that he
would never marry. again, that it was
a handicap for man of artistic talents
to have a wife, and that one wedding
had satisfied him for life.
Mr.. Mantell persisted in his determin-
alton not to give a dollar for alimony,
and as a result was for years unable
to play in New York. His friends urged
him to give up what ley called his
mad whin" and compromise with his
wife so that he would be able to take
the rank he deserved on the stage, by
winning a permanent success in New
York. This he refused to do and did
not again play in the metropolis until
after the death of his first wife.

JOSS FRIENDS GONE
Chinese Tear Down Temple and Hold
Big Parade.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan. 17.-Queuc-
less and clothed in American fashion, the
500 and more Chinese in Salt Lake City
demonstrated today in favor of the re-
public of China. Manchus took to cover
and Caucasians walked, when a parade
in which were all the available taxicabs
and two American bands was conducted
through the business streets to the
Oriental quarter.
Last evening a banquet was given by
the Young China association, at which
number of city officials were guests.
ne demonstration wound up with the
dismantling of the Joss House in Plum
Alley, where for decades the devout
Chinaman has propitiated evil spirits
with tinsel money, and courted favor
with the good deities by means of burn
ing odorous sticks and revolving prayer
wheels.
Joss had no friends. The costly hang
ings were torn asunder and the image
of the god was subjected to all manner
of indignities without word of protest
from any quarter, although some of the
older Chinese kept their fingers crossed.

The minute the stomach ceases to
perform it's functions properly the
whole body begins to suffer. The food
is only half-digested, the body only
half-nourished. And the undigested
portion of the food ferments and de-
Gays, generating nauseating gases
which derange the whole system. The
eventual result is chronic dyspepsia,
heartburn, bad breath, dizziness, flatu-
lency and sick headache.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets instantly
relieve all ailments of the stomach and
digestive tract. They act quickly, safely
and naturally"just like Nature her
self. They contain in themselves the
elements which go to make I'D the nat

FACES COAL FAMINE
New York Can't Get Supply Till Ice
AIeIts.

New York. Jan. 1.-THE cold
weather of the past fortnight has
caused a shortage of anthracite coal
IN and around New York city which
tons unless relief comes speediIy.f
Large customers who get their coal
by water delivery are the chief suffer
ers thus far. At Yonkers the Federal
Sugar refinery is shut down and will
not resume operations until boats can
go up the river with coal and sugar
For the first time in nearly ten
years the Kill Won Kul1, the waterway
between New JERSEY and Staten
Island, is frozen over solid and a
great many coal tows are caught in
this freeze. This shuts off receipts of
coal from some four or five important
loading points.
