The Quickest, Simplest
Cough Remedy
Easily and CheapIy Made at
Home. saves Won So.

This plan makes a pint of cough
svrup-enough to last a family long
time. You couldn't buy as much or as
good cough syrup for $3.50.
Simple as it is, it gives almost in
slant relief and usually conquers an
ordinary cough in "a hours. This is
partly due to the fact that it is slightly
laxative, stimulates the appetite and
has an excellent tonic effect. 1t is
pleasant to take-children like it. An
excellent remedy, too, for whooping
cough, spasmodic Group and bronchial
asthma.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
- pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTH in pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. It keeps perfectly.
Take teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
Pine is one of the Oldest and best
known remedial agents for the throat
membranes. Pinex is a most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway white
pine extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
other natural healing elements. Other
preparations will not work in this
combination.
The prompt results from this mixture
have endeared it to thousands of house
wives in the United States and Canada
which explains whv the plan has been
initiated often, but never successfully.

OF INTEREST IN AMERICA.
Are Matters Taken Up by the German
Parliament.

Berlin, Nov. 29.-The Imperial parlia.
merft yesterday discussed the much crit
icized action of Emperor William in
ordering the court architect, Ernest Won
lime, to draft the plans of the new Ger
man embassy building at Washington.
Prof. Bruno Moehring was the win
ner of the competition opened by the
foreign office for the purpose of selecting
the best designs.
The subject was brought up by DR..
Morritz Johannes Junck, a national
liberal
He asked the government whether it
was true that an architect who had not
participated in the foreign Office com
petition had been commissioned to draft
the plans.
Gottlieb Won Jagrow, the foreign min
lister, answered that the order had not
yet been given for the construction of
the embassy building.
The plans must first be approved by
the Prussian academy of architecture, he
said, and this explained the absence from
the budget of an appropriation for the
embassy.
DR.. Joseph Herzeld, Social Democrat,
then asked the government whether it
had decided to open an investigation into
the relations of the "Anglo-American
Tobacco trust" with the German Gig
arctic industry, and was informed by
DIR. Max Richter, under secretary for the
interior, that a commission of inquiry
was to be instituted and members of
parliament had the right to attend its
sittings.

Illustrated yesterday when a subcommit-
tee of the committee on the judiciary
consisting of Ashurst of Arizona, Chill
ton of West Virginia and Cummins OF
Iowa, voted to report to the full com
mittee the Cummins resolution to make
amendment of the constitution easier.
This provides for an initiative of the
legislature of 10 states or Is per cent OF
the voters of "a states, either of whom
may propose constitutional amendment
to the president, whereupon the presi-
dent shall submit the same to the coun-
try and it shall become operative if rati-
fed by two-thirds of the states acting
either by direct vote of the people or
through the legislatures.
This subcommittee also voted favor
ably upon the proposed Shafroth amend
ment, providing that the terms of the
president and vice president shall be-
gin upon the second Monday in January
following election, and that the terms of
senators and representatives shall begin
on the first Monday in January follow
ing their election, with the sessions of
Congress beginning also upon that date.
What action the full committee will
take upon these propositions cannot be

New York, Nov. 29.-Counsel for Gen.

Nicaragua, yesterday applied for a writ
of habeas corpus to obtain his release
from the Tombs, where he is held pris-
oner by the federal authorities at the
request of the Nicaraguan government

The writ was granted returnable

The writ will take precedence over
his hearing before United States Com
missioner Shields, set for next Monday.
The state department is waiting for adj
ditional information from the Nicara-
guam government concerning the nature
of the crime with which the former pres
ident is charged. This information is
expected to throw light on. the question
as to whether the alleged crime, that of
the murder of two fellow countrymen, is
political and if so, not subject to the ex-
tradition laws as contended by Zelaya's
attorney.

WOMEN DETECTIVES
ARREST DYING MAN
Fourteen Months Search for $4,000
Swindler Suspect Ends Thanks
giving Day.

New York, Nov. 29--For the last IA
months Mrs. Isabella Goodwin and Mrs.
Adele Priest, detective sergeants working
under direct orders from Commissioner
Waldo, have been trailing Frank Henry
Wolf, charged with a $4,000 stock
swindle.
The complainant against Wolf, who
it is said, was an extensive operator in
stocks, is Mrs. Francesca Groehnert of
$3.50 Hopkins avenue, Astoria. She says
Wolf cheated her out of the savings of
a lifetime,
The two women detectives have fol-
lowed Wolf to various cities, but in
variably arrived just too late to make an
arrest. He is about SO years old and a
widower. He formerly made his home
with his mother-in-law, Mrs. Catherine
Sehaetfer, at 1873 Franklin avenue, the
Bronx.
The women detectives figured Thurs
day that Wolf must be tired of being a
fugitive and probably would spend
Thanksgiving at home. So they and
Detective Henry G. Jessup of Deputy
Commissioner Dougherty's staff went to
the Franklin avenue house
Mrs. Priest said that she wanted to
see Mr.. Wolfe. She was shown to
front room, where a man, emaciated from
illness, was sitting in chair
II am Mr.. Wolf" he said.
Mrs. Priest went to the door and let
in Mrs. Goodwin and Jessup. The
amazed Wolf was told he was under ar
rest.
"To take me to the police station will
mean my DEATH" he protested. Il have
cancer of the stomach. have only just
got to this house and must stay if | am

1t was plain to the detectives that the
man was not far from death. They

REPORT MONDAY
Obstacles Encountered Yes
terday That Will De-
lay Action

Washington, d. c., Nov. 29-The Dem
ocratic senators in caucus yesterday.com-
mitted themselves to the guaranty of
bank deposits. They directed the prepa-
ration of an amendment to the Owen
bin to provide that all surplus profits
| from the business of the regional banks
above expenses, dividends and surplus
required should be divided into three
equal parts. one part to 90 to fund
| for the guaranty of deposits in member
banks, one-third to refunding 2 per cent.
government bonds, and one-third to ex
ira profits" to the system.
There was spirited argument yes
terday over the number of regional asso-
Citations. Senator Hoke Smith appeared
in defense of the plan of designating the
regional reserve associations The sen
ator is determined that Atlanta shall
have a reserve association if possible.
and failing in that he wants to make
sure that that city is attached TO the
New York regional association and not
TO New Orleans.
The caucus also put i'll provision that
no member of regional board Shall have
any connection with national bank for
two years after the conclusion OF his
service on the board. The caucus will
probably last until the middle Of next
week.
While the Republicans believe that the
Democratic haste was pure politics and
nothing else, the Democratic leaders are
busy among the leading Republicans
with whispered arguments that the
business situation throughout the coun-
try is really alarming and that unless
the currency bill is rushed through Con-
gress will be responsible for refusing to
furnish the country with a fiscal system
that will guarantee against panies. The
Republicans not only will disclaim any
such responsibility, but will insist that
the amendments proposed by the Hitch
cock draft, or most of them, are essen
tial TO safe and workable legislation.

section of the country, marked by Wash.
ington.
Survey blazes cut into trees, and since
grown over, have been cut away, and
count OF the annual layers of grow.i.
over the old wounds shows them to have
been made at the time Washington was
surveying. One strange thing about
these blazes is that they are several feet
higher than those put on trees by woods
men of to-day. This fact has given
rise to n sort OF superstition that Wash.
ington, known to have been very tai,
was actually a giant. Other authorities
have said that Washington did much OF
his work on horseback, aud made his
blazes with long-bardled axe from
the saddle.
The town of Whitepost, Clarke coun-
ty, Va, takes its name from post pre-
summed TO have been set by Washington
as one of his survey marks. The post,
formerly exposed, is now covered by y
protecting case, which shelters it from
the weather, and from the dcspoiling
hand of the vandal tourist.
Why the Line Is Retraced.
The reason that this old Washington
survey line is being retraced is because
the federal government is purchasing
lands in this neighborhood, in connection
with the new Appalachian forests which
are being acquired at the headwatcrs of
nayigahle streams, under the terms OF
the Weeks law, designed to protect these
watersheds from the evils OF deforesta-
tion. The government requires clear
title before the land can be paid for.
In making sure of the titles it is nee
essary, in many cases, to 60 back to
original royal grants, or to colonial rec
ords, and TO have recourse to re-surreys
before the facts of ownership can be
indisputably established.

VERIFYING wASHINGToN's SURVEY
Result Shows Wonderful Accuracy By
Nations First President.

Government surveyors, who have just
been checking up some OF the lines re-
puted to have been run by George Wash
ington in his days of chain and compass
work, have found them good.
About 1851, according TO tradition,
George Washington, then 10 years old,
ran out for Lord Thomas Fairfax the
line between what was then to be Au-
gusta and Frederick counties, Virginia,
this being only part of a great deal OF
surveying which he is said to have been
engaged upon at that time. These two
counties were separated from what was
then Orange county, and the grant to
Lord Fairfax was supposed to extend
westward to the Pacific ocean. Subse-
quently these large tracts were further
sub divided, so that the Fairfax line,
as it is generally known, runs now be-
tween Rockingham and Shenandoah
counties, with the original Augusta and
Frederick counties to the south and
north, respectively.
In the organic act for the formation of
the two counties, or parishes" as they
were then called, it was required that
the line should be straight one from
the head spring of Hedgman river, one
of the sources of the Rappahannock, to
the head spring of the Potomac.
Since il was required that the line
should be straight, it was first neces-
sary to get the approximate course by
building large bonfires on the interven-
ing high points. Then starting from
the top of the Massanutten mountains,
the line was run straight away over
intervening mountains and rivers toward
the northwest.
