NEW YORK, Oct. IA message from
CAPTAIN Inch, the first direct communl-
cation from a person who had been on
board the ill-fated Uranium liner TO reach
the offices of the steamship company
here. was received today. IT was sent by
wireless from the Kroonland and picked
up at Cuessand France, and relayed to
New York by cable. 1t said:

II Captain Inch's figures are correct,
143 persons lost their lives as a result
of the disaster. Officials Of the Uranium
line said the records showed there were
$50 passengers and a crew OF ninety-three
on board the Volturno. According to
these figures. 1t would appear that sew

BITTER FEELING IN
FRANCE OVER CANAL

Find Excuses for Failure Of
Their Country=nen.
BY international News Service.

by Internal tlOTal news service.
PARIS. Oct. 12.-The admiration with
which the French have viewed the com
pleton of the Panama canal has not
been entirely without bitterness. SEN
ator Berenger In a statement In the Re-
publique Francaise attributes the failure
OF France to the political shortcomings
OF this country
The Paris Midi today ascribes the fail
ure OF the French to build the canal to
two evils.
Speculation on the bourse and the pres
ence on the isthmus OF the mosquito.
which has now been exterminated, 1t
finds comfort In the fact that the canal
was planned by French engineers, dug,
built and dredged with French machin-
cry, at least In part and that a French
savant made possible, through q discov-
cry, the determination OF the dreaded
mosquito.
The keenest interest Is felt here In Mr..
Underwood's clause allowing per cent
to imports in American bottoms. The
president of the Compagne Trans Attain
tique rrancaise in discussing the ques-
ton said today;
There is little doubt that II the French
government has not already taken some
action In the matter it will be compelled
which threatens French commercial in
terests Shonld such a protest fail, the
government will be forced to take such
mea sures as Will protect French interests.
This Of course would not be against
American shipping, which is now a
trifling matter but the most effective
way would be against imports OF Ameri-
can goods.
DISCRIMINATION In favor of American
vessels will not mean much for several
years TO come. for I do not believe Amer
lean ship builders and owners will plunge
into what might easily prove to be risky
specula tions. Meanwhile this discrimin-
alton Will fret the French and may dis
courage may Of her pending exhibits to
the Panama Pacific exposition"
This French steamship company re-
ceiYes an annual subsidy from the gov
ernment of between two and seven mill
lion francs, varying with the financial
condition of the company. The official
reason given for this subsidy is that the
Compagnie Trans-Atlantique carries the
French mails.

.RESINOL CURED
BL|STERY, ITCHY
HUMOR ON HANDS

st. Louis, Mo-, June 8, 1913.-'tMy
wife was troubled with what looked like
water blisters on the back of her hands.
They itched and burned so much that
she had to be rubbing them most Of the
time. After q while they broke open
and began running together, leaving a
raw and very unsightly sore, so that she
had to wear gloves whenever she went
out.
FWe tried half dozen different rem
edies and prescriptions, but to no avail,
until one day I received sample Of
Resinol Soap and Resinol Ointment.
She got so much encouragement from
the sample that 1 bought large jar
Of Resinol Ointment and cake Of
Resinol Soap. After using it about
three nights we discovered a great i'm.
provement. In about week skin be-
gan to form, and the itching and burn
ing ceased. After using only one jar
Of Resinol Ointment and cake Of Res.
inol Soap, she was entirely cured. This
was six years ago and she has not been
troubled since" (Signed) Charles
Weber, 2628 Franklin Ave.
Better proof, even than such q letter,
is to try Resinol yourself and see how
quickly the trouble disappears. Resinol
Ointment and Resinol Soap are sold by
all druggists. For free trial, write to

TESTIMONY FAVORS
JEWISH PRISONER
So Far the Russians Have Not
Produced Any Evidence
Against Beiliss.

KIEv Oct 1.-THE trial Of Mandel
Beilfss, charged with the murder Of the
13-year- old boy Andrew Yushinsly, was
continued today Beiliss seemed to be re-
gaining confidence. and several times
during the course Of the sitting he smiled
at his wife.
The local authorities have received
strict orders from the minister Of the In
terror to prohibit any meeting OF demon
stration In connection with the trial. The
latest newspaper to be seized was an is
sue of the Kievsky Mysl because Of an
article headed "The Judgment Of Cod"
The article says: ITO require peasants
to determine abstruse questions of reli-
gion and science is to transform trial by
jury into trial by ordeal"
An interesting witness today was a
cobber named Nakonetchny. 1t has been
alleged that Beilss had made an attempt
to have Nakonetchny and another man
named Shakhovsky, poisoned. The prose-
cution, however, failed to produce Kosa-
ohenko. who informed the police that Bel
liss had bribed him to administer poison
to these two men.
Nakonetchny, without hesitation, gave
testimony favora BILE to Beiliss. whom he
said he had known for ten years and had
no reason to dislike. He declared that the
children In the neighborhood Of the brick
yard where Beilss was employed. includ-
ing Yushinsky and the Tcheberlak chill
dren had ceased playing in the brick
yard after the autumn OF 1910, owing to
the erection Of a palisade around 1t.
Moreover, he asserted, the whole dis
trict would know II Beiliss had been seen
dragging Yushinsky toward the kiln.
The second man. shakhovsky. admitted
that when he was before the examining
ma gistrate and had made statements
against Beiliss, he was under the in
fluence OF liquor.
He affirmed that he had been intiuli-
dated by detectives to produce evidence
against Beliss. He remained silent, how
ever, when asked by the anti-Senite rep
resentative, Shmakoff. by whom he had
been instigated to testify at this stage
IN favor Of the prisoner.

EXPLOSIONS Do NOT

Great Money-making Scheme

Failure.
THEORY is EXPLODED

No, sir-or ma am or miss, as the
requirement of address may dictate
cannonading or other explosive forms Of
atmospheric agitation do not produce
or increase rainfall. At least. that is
what those learned in meteorological lore
say; and they claim that they ought to
know.
What brought forth this negative as
surance, couched in expertly technical
terms by the pedagogue in the school
of clouds, was the assertion recently
made by citizen that the morning and
evening surface blasting on the noun
tain mine of the Utah Copper company
in Bingham canyon was increasing the
rainfall in the Salt Lake valley.
But the wizards of the weather bu-
reau declare this to be fallacy, and a
fallacy long since exploded, as have
been the impotent bombs of the pre-
tended raiumakers
