7 ON O'Rourke in
Libel Suit Shows
His Fine Modesty

LONDON. Feb. 1.-THE English
and American sporting Fraternity, in
Guiding AL Palzer. assembled in great
force In Justice Pickford's court to-
day to hear Tom O'Rourke's libel
suit against Boxing the London
sporting paper. O'Rourke claims
damages for statements that he was
guilty OF dishonesty in arranging box
ing contests frauduiently in New
York. San Francisco and other
American cities. winning considerable
money on bets.
O'Rourke was the only witness, and
was on the stand nearly all day. He
withstood the battery of searching
questions from opposing counsel ex-
ceedingiy well and gave little oppor-
tunity for scoring. He said he was
Joint proprietor. with Senator Suili-
van. Of the Lenox Athletic club. New
York. He denied ernphaticalIy max
ing an arrangement with the referee
in the Walcott-Lavtgne contest for
waicott to lose. He said the fact
was that he lost $4,000 on Walcott.
1t was also untrue. he added. that
he had made a similar arrangement
Lenox club.
O'Rourke. when asked IFS Theo-
dore Roosevelt one of your wit
nesses?" replied. yes, sir" lis
Theodore Roosevelt here?" asked
counsel. glancing around at the
benches. No. SIR" said O'Rourke,
but have letter from him"
There was broad smile on
O'Rourke's face when counsel read
the American newspaper criticisms OF
his boxing methods. Rockefeller or
any other public man is In the same
position as myself with newspapers
in the United States" he said.
Tom O'Rourke, ex-harber, ex-sa-
ioonkeeper. ex-owner OF fighting dogs
was the promoter in whose club
Sharkey and Corbett and Mccoy and
Corbett pulled off their fake bouts
Poor old John ID. Rockefeller has
been villified before. but 1t has re-
manned for O'Rourke to add the final
humiliation.

All C1ogged Up?
Here's Quick Relief
A Simple Remedy to Correct
Constipation Before 1t
Becomes Chronic.

Very few people so through life
without some time or other being
troubled with constipation. Thou
sands injure themselves by the use
of strong cathartics, salts, mineral
waters, pills and similar things.
They have temporary value in some
cases. it is true, but the good effect
is soon lost, and the more one takes
of them the less effective they be-
come.
A physic or purgative is seldom
necessary, and much better and
more permanent results can be OBJ
tanned by using a scientific rem
edy like DR.. Caldwelps Syrup Pep
sin. It does not hide behind high
sounding name, but is what it is
represented to be. a mild laxative
medicine. 1t is so mild that thou
sands of mothers give it to tiny in
fants, and yet it is so compounded,
and contains such definite ingre-
dents that it will have equally good
effect when used by a person sur
ferine from the worst chronic con-
stipation. In fact, among the great
est indorsers of Syrup Pepsin are
elderly people who have suffered
for years and found nothing to ben
eft them until they took Syrup
Pepsin.
1t is fact that millions of fami-
lies have DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin constantly in the house,
homes like those of Mr.. II. w. Fen
stermaker, Siegfried, Pa. He says
he has had wonderful results from
the use of DR.. Caldwelfs Syrup
Pepsin. that, in fact. he has never
found a remedy so good, and he is
