LOOK TO RUSSIAN OIL FIELDS
Are Certain to Play an Important Part
In Furnishing Power for
6attIeshlps.

In discussing the fact that the use
Of oil instead of coal As fuel In the
English navy is under consideration
It Is time Russia should pay serious
attention to this question. II England
is replacing its own cheap coal by tho
more expensive foreign product. there
must be important advsntageA on the
side Of naphtha, and In the future

this fuel will be most important one.

and factories have gone over to

Is increasing every year.
Russia owns immense oil fields and
II could be the chief supplier Of the
world. The need OF organization in
the business In recognized by the
government and n number OF special
meetings have been held for discuss
Ing tho subject. New conditions have
been laid down for the exploitation OF
government territories. and the regu-
lations for investigations have been
changed. Some territories known as
being rich In oil have been closed to
private enterprise. such rs the Ap-

as some territories in the Transcas-
plan Urai and GerghAna districts. and

A Staple Medicine
for All Families
From Infancy to Old Age a
Relia bic Family Laxative
is Most Needed-Try
This One.

1t is uncomfortable in this day of gen.
eral intelligence that any family would
be without a simple remedy for the
minor ills Of life. for often by giving
such a remedy in time a serious disease
can be frustrated and a life saved
For example if at the first sign of a
cold a simple laXative-tonic like DR..
CaIdwelTs Syrup Pepsin were given the
beginning of a serious lung affection or
of a typhoid fever might be avoided.
And also in headaches. nervousness,
etc, a small dose Of this remedy would
relieve the congestion and replace dis
tress with comfort. Mothers give it to
tiny infants and little children, and
grown people take it with equally good
effect
Thousands of good American homes
are never without it, among them the
home of DR.. Geo T Hull, Prop. Hull
Drug Co, Prue, Okla. DIR. Hull has
for a number of years recommended
DR. CaldweIIs Syrup Pepsin in his prac-
tice and writes that for stomach and
bowel disorders, worms in children and
a general laXatiVe-tOnic it has no
equal" Syrup Pepsin saves the health
of the family, and it saves doctors bills.
1t is a guaranteed cure for any form of
stomach. liver and bowel trouble, con-
situation indigestion, biliousness, gas
on the stomach, headaches, drowsiness
after eating, etc. Have no hesitancy
about giving it to any member of the
family. however young or old, for it

WOULD DISRUPT TEAM
Suspension Following C1eveland-Bos-
ton Scrap Disastrous.

Cleveland, Ohio, May 9.-Cleveland and
Boston players were exceedingly secretive
today on the subject of official investi-
cation of the fist fight that took place in
the tunnel leading to the club rooms after
Wednesdays game and Umpire Connolly,
deputed by President JOHNSON of the
American league TO look into the affair,
probably will have trouble obtaining &C
curate information. If the players taking
part in the scrifnmage were identified and
punished by suspension both the Boston
and Cleveland teams would be disrupted,
as twenty men are said to have partici-
pated. most of them being leading mem
bers of their teams.
C cago May 9.-President Johnson. of
the American league. last night ordered
an investigation of the fist fight between
the players of the Boston and Cleveland
clubs at Cleveland Wednesday after
noon He sent message of inquiry to
Umpire Connolly, who replied that he
knew nothing about the occurrence except
what he had read in the newspapers.
President Johnson then instructed the
umpire to Immediately ascertain the facts.
At the invitation of President Comiskey
of the Chicago Americans, Mr.. johnson
has promised to accompany the White
Sox and the New York Nationals on their
world tour next winter.

POLICE TO PRISON
New York Inspectors Are Civ
en- Maximum Sentence.
Eleventh Hour Damaging
Statements Looked For.

New York, May 9.-Dennis Sweeney,
John J. Murtha, James E. Hussey and
James F. Thompson, former police in
spectors, convicted of conspiring to OBJ
struct revelations of corruption involv-
ing them, were sentenced to serve one
year in the penitentiary and pay a fine
of $500. This is the maximum sentence.
Up to the moment that sentence was
pronounced, the belief prevailed that
one of the four would ''squeaP' to the
district attorney on the many higher"
If any of them had entertained such
intention he masked it under a stolid
front of calmness as he faced the bar.
Reports that one of the four was bar
gaining with Mr.. Whitman for a sus-
pension of sentence and that the long
sought guiding genius of the system
would be brought to justice through
confession were still prevalent about
the criminal courts building after sem
tence had been pronounced 1t is not
yet too late for one of the inspectors
to save himself by an eleventh hour
statement.
No move of any sort looking to APP
peal was taken by any of the four
prisoners today. An effectual club
against appeal is held by the district
attorney in the form of 10 indictments
for bribery-a felony-recently return
ed against the quartette-
IF the prisoners appeal, l will bring
them to trial on the bribery charges,
is the attitude taken by the district
attorney.
No assurance has been given that
they will not be brought to bear on
these indictments, anyhow, but eac-I
of the prisoners lawyers is understood
to have had the impression that the
bribery charges will lie dormant in case
there is no appeal.
The crime for which the four inspec-
tors-highest uniformed officials in the
department, were convicted was
brought to light by the district attor-
nev in his crusade against graft in
the police department begun after the
murder of Herman Rosenthal. George
A. Sipp, a resort keeper, told Mr.. Whit
man he paid regular protection money
to collectors acting for Sweeney. When
it came time for Sipp to testify before
the grand jury it was found he had
fled the state. He was found in At
lantic City. brought back to New York
and testified that Sweeney and his three
co-defendants har raised a fund and
hired him to remain out of the state.
The convicted men will be taken to
BlackelPs Island this afternoon.

A bottle can be obtained at any near

Gals based upon photographs of the

Pekin and st. Louis police led to the
theory that. Stratton and Williams are
one.
This belief was substantiated by the
bureau of Identification at the prison
here upon receipt of the photographs
today. The prison officials said they
would await word from the Pekin au-
thorities before a decision could be
reached as to the disposition of the
supposed escaped convict.
At the time of STATIONS escape two
other men attempted to get away with
him. They entered the prison sewer
