THE TARIFF BILL IS
NOT YET APPROVED
PRESIDENT SAYS HE HAS ONLY
BEGUN STUDY OF MEASURE.
CONSIDERS THE INCOME TAX
Everybody at the White House Must
Take Precaution Again Smallpox.
Secretary McAdoo Confers
With President.

Washington.-President Wilson let it
be known that he has not yet put his
stamp of approval on the tariff bill left
with him Representative Oscar w.
Underwood, the Democratic majority
leader, afte- three-hour conference.
The president indicated to his visitors
that he had only begun to study the
measure, but that before the Democratic
caucus met to decide whether they
should revise the tariff in single bill or
by separate schedules he would make
known his own conclusion, as well as
his opinion of the bill.
The income tax problem and its in.
tricate details also are being carefully
considered by the president. He dis
cussed it in general way with Secre-
tary McAdoo of the treasury depart
ment, COL E. NJ House of Austin, Tex,
and Secretary Tumulty, who were at
the White House. Mr.. Wilson also is
giving some attention to the possibilities
OF getting currency measure before the
country during the extra session of con-
gress and it was said that the confer
ence touched this subject to some ex-
tent.
The president received an army of
school teachers, the usual excursion crowd
of Easter season. He shook hands with
ass43 in 35 minutes, among them 500
from Toronto, Canada, led by DIR. James
L. Wilson, superintendent of schools
there.
Everybody at the White House, in
cluding President Wilson, members of
his family, aides, clerks, servants and
domestics, about $50 in all, are to be
vaccinated as a precautionary measure
against smallpox. Physicians doing the
work vaccinated Mrs. Wilson and the
three daughters and the president and
Secretary Tumulty are to submit to the
operation.
Though there have been a few cases
of smallpox discovered in the public
buildings of the national capital, it had
not become known that the parents of
domestic employed at the White House
had become afflicted with the disease.
DR.. Cary Grayson, one of the naval
aides, Immediately began an investiga-
tion, and by nightfall most of the people
living in and about the White House
had been inoculated.

ALIENS, FATHER
AND son, DIE
GOV. MANN THWARTS ELEVENTH
HOUR ATTEMPT TO SAVE MEN.
HURRIEs BACK INTO STATE
Son, Six Feet Tall and Straight as a
Statue, Went to His Death With
out Quiver-Chaplain Who
Fought for Them COllapses.

Richmond, Va.-Mumbling a prayer
and crying half audibly that he was
ready to go, Floyd Allen, a lawless
product of the Virginia mountains,
whose refusal to accept short prison
term for a minor offense led to the
wholesale court murder in Hillsville one
year ago, imped to the death chair in
the state penitentiary II minutes ahead
of Claude Swanson Allen, his son.
The sentence of the court, held up for
six hours while desperate and dramatic
efforts were being made to save the
condemned men by eleventh-hour ap-
peals to the lieutenant-governor, was
speedily enforced when Gov. Mann has
tened back to Virginia soil to take
charge of situation which was excit-
ing to a degree. The prison superinten-
dent, acting entirely within the law,
agreed at 2 o'clock in the morning to
defer the execution, giving Attorney
General Williams an opportunity mean
while to pass upon the constitutional
rights of Lieut. Gov. Ellyson to inter
fere.
But the young son of Gov. Mann
reached his father in Philadelphia by
telephone less than an hour after the
delay had been ordered and by o'clock
the governor was again on Virginia soil.
Aroused, as it afterward developed, by
the unexpected effort to take advantage
of his temporary absence, when he had
repeatedly refused clemency, the gov
ernor boarded an early morning train,
arriving in Richmond at 1880 o'clock.
Earlier he had telegraphed the secre-
tary of the commonwealth that he
would be in Virginia by o'clock, this
information suddenly checking the plan
of the Allen sympathizers in further
urging the lieutenant-governor to inter
cede.
The elder Allen went to the electric
chair tremblingly, but the son, a splen-
did physical specimen, six feet tall and
straight as statue, met death un-
fiinchingly, even assisting the guards
in arranging the death chair.
The chaplain who stood by the AL
lens from start to fnishN collapsed
when it became known that their execu-
tion was inevitable.

DAYTON MUST FEED
!. AND CL0THE 100000
THOUSANDS MUST BE GIVEN COM.
PLETE HOUSEHOLD OUTFIT.
1900 HOUSES ARE WRECKED
Autos Taken Away From Sightseers
and They Are Pat to Work Clean
ing Up Debris and Discover
ing the Dead.

Dayton, O.-Here is the problem pre-
sented to Dayton as summarized by
Geo. F. Burba, secretary to Gov. Cox,
and representing the latter:
Forty thousand persons must be fed,
clothed and housed for week more.
Many thousand persons must be cared
for indefinitely, for these persons lost
their all, when their household goods
were swept away. They must be pro-
vided with few necessary household
articles, such as bedding, pots and pans,
stoves and few dollars. A half mill
lion dollars could be used in this way
by the relief committee
Fifteen thousand houses and business
buildings must be rehabilitated.
Two thousand houses and other struc-
lures, or what remains of them, must
be pulled down.
Thousands of tons of debris must be
removed.
Following are some of the accomplish
ments since the flood broke over the
city Tuesday morning:
The waterworks pumping station is in
operation, but the distribution of water
is greatly retarded by open pipes in
wrecked houses. The pressure is feeble,
but growing stronger as leaks are
checked.
The main sanitary sewer is in opera
tion, although many of the laterals lead
ing from houses are clogged with mud
or backed up with water.
The flood sewer, separate from the
sanitary, is in operation. These sewers
carry off the rainfall from the cutters
and are needed now to remove the wa
ter being pumped from Easements.
Telegraph service is fast catching up
with requirements, which have been and
are still enormoCs.
No braver services have been perform
ed than those by the telegraph and tele-
phone linemen, who mad possible the
dissemination of news to hundreds Of
thousands of friends and relatives of
Daytonians. They waded and swan icy
water and entered tottering buildings
unhesitatingly in pursuit of their duty.

LOWER STATES THREATENED
Levees May Not Hold the Great Flood
Waters,

Washington Danger from any fur.
ther increase of the floods is over IN
the middle west at present. The dan
ger now lies in the inability of the
larger streams, Lower Ohio and Lower
Mississippi Rivers to carry off the tre-
mendous quantity of water which has
accumulated in the upper valley of the
Ohio and tributary streams. This is
the statement given out by the weather
bureau here.
Anxiety over flood conditions is now
being felt by people of states lying along
the Lower Ohio and the Lower Missis-
sippi Rivers. Senator Ransdell of
Louisiana called at the weather bureau
today for information of the food con-
ditions. He was assured that while
the situation was serious, it did not
promise for flood in the lower dis
tricts along the Mississippi. The big
river is low above st. Louis. The Mis-
souri, is low and the big tributaries 9i
the Mississippi below there, the Arkan-
sas, the Red, the st. Francis and the
Yazoo, are all running low. The White
is now swollen. At st. Louis the Mis-
sissippi stage is reported as 25.5 feet,
and is falling a little. Everything
points to there being plenty of room
for the flood from the Ohio when il
arrives" said Prof. Henry, in charge Of
the division, of floods at the weather
bureau The danger to the Lower Mis-
sissippi country arises from the posi-.
Bile weakened condition OF the. leveoz
along the river below Memphis as =
result Of the food Of January.

MATTER OF DIRECT
APPEAL COMES Up
POWER OF RAILROAD COMMISSION
rs INVOLVED.
Supreme Court Will Pass on Question
That Has Arisen for First Time in
the State-Illinois Central
Plaintiff.

Jackson.-The question whether di-
rect appeal to the supreme court can
be made from the decisions of the rail-
road commission, the first time it has
arisen in this state, soon will be decided.
The question is one of great interest
to the public, and has been raised by
Attorney General Ross A. Collins by
dismiss an appeal from an order of
the railroad commission by the Illinois
Central Railroad company. 1t involves
the question of whether the railroad
commission may execute both legislative
and judicial power, and whether the SUI
preme court can entertain appeal direct
from the railroad commission on the
ground that the supreme court can only
exercise appellate jurisdiction.
The supreme court has held in other
cases that it cannot exercise origins
jurisdiction.
The attorney generals office claims
that appeal from the railroad commits
sion must be taken through the regu-
lar channels, first going to the chancery
OF circuit courts, where questions of
power are involved. Otherwise, it is
contended, it would take from one to
two years to secure decisions on ques-
tions of the powers of the commission
when it decides cases, and certain al
legged abuses might be continued until
such decisions were either affirmed or
reversed.

NO CALL FOR AID.
Mississippi in GREAT Need Herself, Says
Gov. Brewer.

Jackson.-Gov. Brewer, upon being
asked whether he would issue an Off
cial proclamation appealing to the peo-
pie of Mississippi for financial aid in
behalf of the suffering and distressed
in Ohio and Wabash Valleys, through
the Red Cross, replied in the mega
tive.
81 refrained from doing so for this
reason" remarked the governor "The
people of north Mississippi are right
now appealing for help and relief fol-
lowing the storm of fortnight age,
which left its trail of death and de-
struction; those in south Mississippi are
struggling to overcome several seasons
of boil weevil influence.
"In January, people in large area Of
the delta country suffered severely from
the overflow and there is further trou-
BILE from overflow water feared.
"We really have troubles sufficient to
command all our resources to offset and
to call on our people to come to the
rescue of those in Indiana and Ohio
would be like the blind leading the
blind. Taking all things in consider
alton, I decided not to issue call at
this time."

CONSTIPATION.
Its Cause and How to Cure it.

Eat too much,
 Stomach feels bloated,
 All out of sorts,
 Don't feel like work to-day. Guess I've another case of biliousness.
 "Take anything?"
 "Yes; some pills, but no results; sup pose I'm getting ironclad. Sometimes I double the dose, then they physic me so hard Pm too weak to work. Think I'll have to try something new"
 ''Ever try Prickly Ash Bittersl"
 "No; I've heard good deal about it, but never tried it''
 "Well, you'll be pleased with the re- suits"
 The purgative action of Prickly Ash Bitters not only removes hard impac- tions, gas and impurities, but it strength ens the muscular action of the bowels which causes them to move regularly.
 Prickly Ash Bitters is bowel tonic and regulator in the truest sense. It promotes daily evacuations, establishes healthy movements and is the best known remedy for disordered digestion, datulence and a constipated habit.
 D. M. Blackweder, of Litchfeld, H., says in the LHchfeid Ne1us: 1T am perfectly willing, in fact glad to testify to the value of Prickly Ash Bitters as medicine for the kidneys, stomach and bowels. I have used it whenever needed anything of the kind for the last fifteen years and it has always given satisfaction"
