the hornbill variety
The giraffe has been on the way from
Africa for months via Germany, then
Baltimore and finally New York. The
curator had received giraffes before. so,

on a wagon of some height the curator
got out his pencil.
There's lust two inches TO spare, he
exclaimed but we can't take any

lice action was another case Of the lack
Of courtesy shown by many officers
toward owners and drivers Of auto
mobiles.

Mrs. Arthur Scott Burden created a
sensation at the Piping Rock race meet
Yesterday by wearing a bright green
"harem veil" which completely hid tn"
greater part of her face. This was the
first time that the "harem veil has
been seen in society circles, and it
aroused more interest, at least among
the men. than the races themselves.
The veil appeared 10 be hung across

Burden wore hat of white daisies and
a tango orange coat over dark skirt.

Washington, June s.-The New
Haven investigation came to an end
this afternoon with a lively tilt be-
tween Walker ID. Hines. counsel for
the New Haven. and John w. II. Grim,
attorney for Charles S. Mellen. Mr.
Grim charged Hines with making mis-
leading statements concerning the tes-
timony Of Mellen, asserting that Mel
len in his testimony had said that he
was familiar with everything that went
on before the special committee which
handled the Westchestcr deal and had
laid before il all communications be
tween himself and Mr.. Thorne.
What Mr.. Mellen had meant by his
testimony. Grim asserted, was that he
did not know the individuals from
whom the securities Of the various
Westchester companies were purchased
Mr. Hines said that he was equally
posltivc that Mellen had testified that
5e knew nothing about the Westches-
fer NEGOTIATIONS, including the payments
If money. He said that this impress
sion Of Nlcllen's testimony had become
widespread and that it vas for the
purpose of controverting il that he had
submitted the minutes OF the special
committee To show that Mell"n was
cognizant Of everything that went on.
Grim mtimated that Hines was re
sponsibIe for story published TINS
morning that perjury suit might ne
started against Mellen. He said notly
that If Mr.. Hines had anything on

Tells of Moresn's Books.
David F.. Brown. one Of the commits

said that the only discovery he had
made was that they showed purchase
of 16.740 shares Of Worcester. Nashua

land Navigation Company. No men

He also said that Morgan & co. had
purchased 25.O00 shares Of the STOCK
Of the Rutland Railroad Company for
tho New Haven I'm February. 1911. and
that the entry on the books Of the New
Haven showed that the S2,5eO.00O paid
for this stock was charged TO the pay
ment Of a note on the books Of the
Neu Haven. Mr.. Brown alleged that
those two transactions showed a falsi-
fcation Of the records. although he ad-
nitted in answer 10 questions by Mr..
Hines that neither the New Haven nor
the Navigation company had suffered
the loss Of any money by the trans
actions.

Justice Lamar Hopeful.

After the conference Justice Lamar
announced that it had had to do with
part of the plan under consideration
before the Constitutionalists asked for
participation in the conference. He
added that there was progress and that
he was hopeful.
When the American delegates asked
last night for a conference this morn
ing it was assumed by the mediators
that they had received instructions
from Washington and would haze
something Of Importance to say. There
was, therefore, sincere disappointment
when the conference met and found
they knew no more regarding President
Wilson'S attitude toward the agree
ment submitted TO him than they did
on the day of it's submission.

Niagara Falls. Ont, June 6.-The m e.
diation conference is still waiting Tor
President Wilson TO make up bis mind
whether to accept or reject the plan
agreed upon here and spDmitted TO hiin
on May %.
President Wilson is supposed TO be
waiting for General Carranza to make
rn his mind as to whether or not 20
accept the plan. although diplomati-
cally the mediators cannot assume that
to be the case. for the reason that they
have been assured by the American
delegates that President Wilson would
not await CarranZa's pleasure. The
mediators are not discouraged by the
delay, however.
There was a brief, informal confer
ence between the mediatOrs and the
American delegates this morning, but
il was of no consequence, having to 10
solely with a minor detail of the plan
which the President has had under
consideration 50 long.
The purpose Of to-day's conference,
which was asked for by the American
delegates, was, it is believed here, siu,-
ply TO relieve the President of the ap-
pearance Of keeping the mediators so
long awaiting his decision.

QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take q glass Of Salts before breakfast
if your Back hurts or Bladder
: is troubling you.

No man or woman who eats meat fregu-
larry can make mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, Gays well known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-.
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces Of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take q
tablespoonful in glass Of water before
breakfast and in few days your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the Kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine 80 it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.
