WASHINGTON Oct 3--The Demo-
cratic tariff revision, the second low
tariff law that has been put on the
statute books In seventy-tive years,
is now a reality. President Wilson
signed his name to, the Underwood
Simmons bill at $40 o'clock tonight
in the presence Of an impressive gath
ering. Two hours and fifty minutes
later, a. midnight, the new law went
into effect with the exception of a
few items.
With the last stroke of the Presi-
dents pen ending seven months Of
continuous labor on the part Of the
Democratic leaders and many years Of
agitation the president arose, and fac
ing the friends whom he had invited
To witness the ceremony. delivered a
remarkable speech. In his speech he
served notice that the Democratic
party's task was only half competed.
Here are the presidents remarks:

Counsel Files Brief With New Hamp-

Efforts to Get Indictment.

CONCORD. N. H, Oct 1s.-Counsel
for Harry K Thaw to-day filed a
brief with Governor Felker, giving the
so-called INSIDE facts" OF the ef-
fort on the part OF william Travers
Jerome to secure an indictment
charging conspiracy against Thaw.
The remarkable part Of the brief is
that IL contains information which
must of necessity have come from
members of the Dutchess County
Grand Jury. before whom the indict-
ment was sought.
The brief states that the first vote
taken by the jury stood 10 to 8. two
not voting, against finding the in
dictment. The District Attorney
then informed the Jurors that a ma
tority vote was necessary to return
an indictment, and the matter was
recons!dered. The second vote stood
II to against finding the indict-
ment. 1t was then voted to again
consider the matter, but the Septem-
Der Grand Jury adjourned without
taking the case up for the third time.

them a story Of the doings Of "Brcr
Rabbit and good old Uncle Remus."
And she did.
She took little Mary Harris Camp

her lap, the hundred children crowd
ed as close as they could get. and
there, on the porch, where Mr.. Harris
used TO sit and play with children
she told them tales of "Brer Rab-
Bit" the Snap Bean Farm" and the
other creations Of Mr.. Harris brain

Former Guard Declares Half Of
Horror at Federal Penitentiary
Has Not Been ReveaIed-Cites
Cases Little Short Of Barbarous,

FRESH revelations of inhu-
L name treatment Of prison
ers in the Atlanta Federal Peni-
tertiary are coming to light daily
now that the first startling
charges have been made by Ju-
Ian Hawthorne and DR.. ". j.
Morton.
Guards and attaches who have
insistently withheld their names
for fear Of punishment or some
form of reprisal have made ac-
cusations of abuses, including
undertaking and Imprisonment
IN the hole" underground. A
statement was made Saturday by
ii. I. Thomson, a former guard
at the prison, in which he told a
narrowing story of abuses that
came within his observation.
Thomson, now a travelling
salesman, named many sensa-
tlonal details, among them the
following:
A white convict, No. 180,
was kept in the dungeon for
three weeks, contracting liv-
er trouble which caused his
death shortly afterward.
Convict sol was in the
dungeon several weeks. His
legs were swollen so that he
could not arise from his cot
for days.
Convict 521, a man named
Lang, was kept in the
hole" for 145 days, charged
with assaulting an officer.
When taken in he weighed
180 pounds; when released,
115 pounds.
White men were sent into
the fields in charge of an
armed negro overseer.
Men were placed in the
dungeon for trivial offenses,
and kept chained in stand
ing positions.
thomson was outspOken in his as
lusation that conditions were little
snort of barbarous at times, as they
came within his notice, and that the
Instances of which he told were not
exceptions but rather the horrible
custom.

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble

Many children at an early age
become constipated, and frequently
serious consequences result. Not
being able to realize his own con-
dition, child's bowels should be
constantly watched, and gentle
laxative given when necessary.
DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially we'll adapted to women
and children. The Sisters Of
Christian Charity, SCI Charles ST.,
Luzerne, Pa, who attend many
cases of sickness say of them:
Some time ago we began using DIR.
Miles Laxative Tablets and find that
we like them very much. Their action
is excellent and we are grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them. We have had good results in
every case and the Sisters are very
much pleased"
The form and flavor of any medi-
cine is very important, no matter
who is to take it. The taste and
appearance are especially important
when children are concerned. All
parents know how hard it is to give
the average child medicine" even
though the taste is partially dis
guised. In using DR.. Miles Lax
alive Tablets, however, this diff
Guilty is overcome. The shape of
the tablets, their appearance and
candy-like taste at once appeal to
any child, with the result that they
are taken without objection.
The rich chocolate flavor and
absence of other taste, make DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children.
If the first box fails to benefit,
the price is returned. Ask your
druggist. A box of IS doses costs
only rs cents. Never sold in bulk.
