FACE COVERED WITH PlMPlES

214 BreTard St. Tampa, Fla
 Some three years ago I commenced to suffer from a rash on my face and back, Before the pimples came on my face there were a lot of blackheads It looked as if the blackheads turned into pimples because after a little while all of them were gone and my face was covered with pimples. They were small at first but gradually grew and right at the end of each pimple it was all white I carelessly picked them with my finger nails. which made them spread. and soon discovered them on my back. My back was covered with pimples and my face the same way. At night I could hardly sleep on account of the burning and itching sensation they caused. did Tot like to go out be- cause the pimples caused disfgure- ment

 Ten steamships caught the call for help from the wireless and were on the scene within a few hours Their cficers and men made one effort after another to rescue the passengers from the turning ship. but without avail All night and during the greater part of a day, the battle with the waves continued while the passengers on the Volturno waited to be succorred. or. despairing of being taken from the boat, ieaped into the ocean and were drowned.
 Life boats were launched from the rescue ships only to be dashed to pieces against the sides of the vessels The Volturno's own life boats were dashed to pieces when an attempt was made to lower them into the raging sea. The greatest loss of life occur red when four of the Volturnos six hfe-boats were crushed like eggshells against the side Of the steamer after they were launched. The occupants were thrown into the water and practi. cally all of them were drowned.
 Risk Lives to Save Passengers.
 The story of the battle to save the lives of the Nolturno's passengers is one of the most thrilling tales of the sea that has yet been told. Officers and men of the ten steamships which responded 10 tho call for help. risked their lives in the effort to save the hundreds who were trapped on the burning boat, but time after time they were beaten back by the terrific gale and regained their own vessels with difficulty. All night the battle lasted and not until morning when the gale abated somewhat were the survivors rescued from the doomed ship.
 The Nolturno sailed from Rotterdam on October for New York. Accord. ing to the official statement she car ried 2 first cabin passengers, 53S steerage and a crew numbering 96

Many Boats Respond to Call.

The steamer Carmania bound from New York for Liverpool, was 7s miles away when the call for help sounded. Captain Barr. ordering full steam in spite of the gale. was the first of the fleet 10 reach the burning vessel. The Carmania was followed by LaTouraine. Minneapolis, Rapahannock, Czar, Mar. ragansett. Deyonian. Krooland, Gros ser Kurfurst and Zeidlitb al various hours throughout the day. But try as they might the rescuing vessels could get neither line nor life boat 10 the Nolturno, the forward part Of which vas almost hidden by dense cloud of Imoke when the Carmania arrived.
 In spite of the terrific gale raging when his vessel arrived near the Vol. turno, the captain of the Carmania had one of his lifeboats lowered to proceed to the Eolturno 10 help in the rescue The boat was launched with much difficulty, for even on the lee side of the Carmania the seas were terribly rough and it was only by ex- traordinary efforts that the small craft was prevented from being smashed or capszed as she lsit the side of the sh in

 The hopelessnes of the situation vas manifested at o'clock in the evening when q great explosion tore away part of the upper works and flames burst from the engine room It then became a matter Of how iong the Nolturno would stay above the water
 Meanwhile several of tthe terrified passengers, wrapped in life preserv- CTS, dropped overheard into the sea One of them vas taken aboard the Carmania. Most of. them were swept away.
 The gale moderated slightly toward night, and each of the succeeding ships, IS soon as It was possible for her to do so, put out boats from her daTits and lowered them 10 the sea The waves, however, were so high that although the small craft made some progress in the direction of the Vol turno, il vas impossible for them to get alongside. and they returned to their ships, in most cases doing this with the greatest difficulty, owing to the overwhelming seas and the dark. ness.

 Capt. Barr of the Carmania then maneuyered his big vessel very close 10 the Volturno and minally got the Carmania's bow within Q hundred feet of the Volturno's stern.
 The burning steamer lay in the trough of the sea, pounding helplessly with her propellors fouled by the boats tackle. The terrified passengers were huddled together as far as it was pos sible to get away from the flames, while throughout the day the officers and crew fought desperately with whatever appliances were at hand to hold the fire in check. But night came on and the seas abated only slightly. The circle of steamers kept the searchlights playing and waited patiently within the danger zone for the first moment when they might again launch the lifeboats.

FIGHT OVER THE
RIVER DAM BILL
NEARING AN END

Washington. February 13.-Practi-
cally all the various schools of con-
servation had their say today in the
Senate over the proposed passage OF
the Connecticut river dam bill.
Senator Root advocated the right OF
the federal government to attach as
a condition to the license to maintain
the dam a requirement OF a payment
to the federal government of a por-
ton of the revenue obtained by tho
dam company for the aid of the navi-
cation of the stream.
Senators Works and Borah attacked
this condition as stopping the devel-
opment of the resources of the coun-
try. Senator Poindexter expressed ap-
proval of the bill as being step to-
of the public by preventing their get
ting into the exclusive control of great
monopolistic corporations
Efforts on the part of Senator
Brandegee to procure an agreement 10
vote on the bill tomorrow failed, but
he gave notice he would request con-
sent to a vote on Monday.
Representatives of the Connecticut
River Dam company today were told
By Chairman Adamson of the House
commerce committee that the Con-
necticut river dam bill authorizing a
dam in the Connecticut river above the
village Of Windsor Locks. would not
be acted upon by the House at this
session of Congress. The fire of vest
ern senators was aimed at Senator
Root today when he addressed the Sem
ate in favor of the passage of the Con-
necticut river dam bill. Senator Works
and Senator Borah challenged his
statement that the right of the federal
government over navigable streams
was not limited to protecting naviga-
tion.

Montgomery February 13.--(Special.)- D
The supreme court today handed down
an opinion reversing a former ruling of
section of the state banking law, In
the case of T. Il. Lovejoy against the
city of Montgomery. The court previ-
ously held that section of the banking
law was in conflict with section IS of the
constitution. providing that leach law
shall contain but one subject, which shall
be clearly expressed in the title.'
1t was claimed that the section in ques-
tion was in conflict with the constitu-
tion in that the caption to the act did
not set out all the matter contained in
the bill, and this opinion was formerly
held by the supreme court.
An application for a rehearing of the
case was made to the court, and In grant
ing the application the court departed
from a custom or precedent that had
obtained in the state for nearly 50 years.
The opinion in the case was written by
Associate Justice Edward de Graffen-
reid. who declared that there was no
ground for declaring the section in ques-
ton unconstitutional because the caption
of the bill did not set out all the sub
ject matter contained In the act, main
tanning that the department was created
for the purpose of regulating and con-
trolling the banks Of the state. and that
the use Of the term regulate" was suf-
fciently comprehensive.
A large number of bills have been re-
versed in past years because the cap
tion to the bill did not set out all the
subject matter contained in the act, and
the decision of the court, In declaring
the banking law constitutional is consid-
cred by lawyers great step toward pro-
gressiveism and more liberal interpre-
ia ton of the law.
The decision of the court upholds the
power Of the banking department to make
assessments for the support of the de-
partment, and gives to the department
the right to limit cities in the amount
of taxes to impose on banks.
The question came up as the result OF
an effort on the part of the city OF
Montgomery to charge a higher tax than
was allowed in the banking law. r
r. Lovejoy, as president of the Mont
gomery Bank and Trust company, re-
sisted the payment Of the municipal tax

WITHDRAWAL FROM
PHILIPPINES WOULD

Washington. February 13-"With-

ice and folly, and would result in con-

of Pennsylvania in a special speech to-
day against the Jones Philippine liz
dependence bill, which he described as
remarkable and dangerous"

Gated or directing class constitute less

lation." he said, "and where whole
sale illiteracy prevails among the 9TH
ers. it would be impossible to con-
duct government of the people, by the
people and for the people,. The United
States did not get a bag bara in the
Philippines. The archipelago is a rich
possession. If Germany or Japan, or
any other foreign country possessed
them they would never let them go
Japan supports a population of 4o,-
100000. The Philippines could as cas-
ily, support 100.000,000 people,"
Representative Olnisted said he did

manently but argued that the Jones
