CHARGES AGAINST GOMPERS
Was Intoxicated, Insists Labor Leader,
on Other Occasions
Wild Disorder.

Indianapolis, Feb. 2.-Scenes of the
widest disorder marked the conven-
ton of the United Mine Workers of
America, which heard Duncan Nc
Donald, secretary-treasurer of the I'LL
nois miners, declare that Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, was "gloriously
drunk" during the Seattle convention
and on other occasions; Gompers' de-
NAL, and the reiteration by Charles
H. Meyers, president of the Western
Federation Of Miners, that if the cop
per strike in Michigan were to fail,
it would be due to the lack of finan-
cial assistance given by the American
Federation of Labor.
The delegates showed little SYM
pathy for Gompers and he declared he
was being tried before a jury whose
minds were already poisoned" but
every point made by Meyer and Nc
Donald was wildly applauded After
Mcdonald had concluded, the tumult
was SO great that Gompers, despairing
of a hearing, put on his overcoat and
hat and started to leave. The dele
gates were silenced, however, by an
appeal from Meyer, and Gompers re-
turned.

Trace the origin of the commoner

cause. 1t is not to be expected that a
mass of fermented food can remain in
the system beyond it's time without vi
tiating the blood and affecting the
nerves and muscles. 1t congests the
entire body.
The results are colds, fevers, piles,
headaches, and nervousness, with it's
accompanying indigestion and sleep
lessness. There is Only one thing to
do, and that is to remove the trouble;
and when nature seems unable to do
it, outside aid is necessary. You will

BOAT OFFICIALS STATEMENT
TELLS HOW SINKING OF MONROE
WAS INEVITABLE.
Nantucket Did Not Reply to Last Two
Whistles, Is the Charge OF
General Manager.

Norfolk, Va, Feb 2.-The follow
ing statement concerning the sinking
Of the Monroe was given out by AS
sistant General Manager E. e. Palen
of the Old Dominion Steamship com
pany:
THE Monroe left Norfolk at TAO
and ran into a light fog when outside
of the capes, and was proceeding eau
tiously on her route to New York,
blowing a fog whistle every minute
by an automatic time clock. She pass
ed two vessels, stopping in each case
when she heard their signals.
when about half way between
Cape Charles lightship and the Win
ter Quarter lightship, she heard the
fog whistle of the Nantucket off her
starbOard bow. She stopped and blew
two whistles, which were responded
to by the Nantucket. She again blew
two whistles, which were not re-
sponded TO-, and Immediately there
after the crash came.
"The Nantucket was not visible ex

the fog being heavy near the water,
but light above.
"The Monroe was struck on the
starboard side one-third the distance
from her bow, the Nantucket pene
trating the Monroe something like
one-third of her width. making the
sinking of the Monroe inevitable.
Captain Johnson, who had been in
the pilot house for several hours, i'm
mediately gave notice to the steward
to awaken all the passengers, though
the passengers were at that time rush
ing out of their staterooms.
"They we're told to come at once to
the boat deck. The dynamo, which
was then running, gave out in a few
minutes and the vessel was encom-
passed in darkness until Engineer Os-
car Perkins went below and started

two or three minutes. The Monroe

was repeated by the other officers and
strictly obeyed. There was no panic
at any time, nor was there any failure

APPROVE TREATIES
WITH ALL POWERS
PRINCIPAL COUNTRIES OF WORLD
INCLUDED IN PENDING
PACTS.
REHABILITATES ARBITRATION
Expected Treaties viii Be Passed on
FavorabIy Soon-FoIIows
President Wilson's
Suggestion.

Washington, Feb. 2. - Responding
made ut the White House conference
last Monday night, the senate commit
tee on foreign relations has ordered
favorable reports on a large number
of arbitration treaties between the
United States and the leading .coun-
before the senate later in executive
session and will come up for ratifica-
ton in the near future.
AS to Action.
This action will rehabilitate that eX-
tensive structure of arbitration which
had been gradually falling to pieces
by the expiration of the time limit OF
one treaty after another until all of
them had either expired or were about
to expire.
While the treaties are yet to be rati-
fed, the favorable action of the COM
mittee and the strong incentive given
by the presidents appeal, promises to
lead to early and favorable action on
most, if not all, of them.
The far reaching character of this
group of treaties is shown by the long
list of first-rate powers with which
they are made, including most of the
great powers of Europe, South Amer
lea, and the Orient. On the list are
Great Britain, Japan, italy, Spain, Nor
way, Sweden, Portugal, Switzerland
and France, the pact with the latter
having been ratified last February.
Treaties Expiring.
Similar treaties which will expire
within year of two exist with The
Netherlands, Denmark, China, Austria
Hungary, Peru, Salvador, Costa RIGA,
Paraguay, Haiti, Ecuador, Brazil and
Uruguay.

Howard is quite a spendthrift. His

SENTIMENT is NOW IMPROVED
Optimistic Spirit Causes Favorable
Developments of Past
Week.
lew York, Feb. -Bradstreet's

New York, Feb. 2.-Bradstreet's
says:
Most developments of the week are
favorable, though it is evident that
improved sentiment rather than actual
expansion of demand is the basis for
many cheerful reports. Following the
exhibition of exigent buying to re-
plenish broken stocks, there has come
in many lines a cautious, almost glow
enlargement of operations which mark
the continuance of the conservatism
that has characterized trade for sew
eral years past. There is, however
no apparent diminution of the tone of
optimism which bids fair to find ex-
preston in more active buying when
the full effects of the ease in none.

ANOTHER COFFEE WRECK
What's the Use When There's an Easy
Way Out?

Along with the coffee habit has
grown the prevalent American Dis
ease'-nervous prostration.
The following letter shows the way
out of the trouble:
Five years ago / was great cof-
fee drinker and from it's use l be-
came so nervous l could scarcely
sleep at all nights. My condition grew
worse and worse until finally the ply
stefan l consulted declared my trou-
bles were due to coffee.
But being SO welded to the bev-
erage | did not see how | could do
without it, especially at breakfast,
as that meal seemed incomplete with
out coffee.
"On a visit, my friends deprived me
Of coffee to prove that it was harm
full. At the end of about eight days
| was less nervous, but the craving
for coffee was intense, so l went back
to the old habit as soon as got home
and the old sleepless nights came
near making a wreck of me.
Il heard of Postum and decided to
try it. / did not like it at first, be-
cause, as / afterwards discovered, it
was not made properly. | found, how
ever, that when made after directions
On the package, it was delicious.
1T had a soothing effect on my
nerves. and none of the bad effects
that coffee had, so bade farewell to
coffee and have used only Postum
since. The most wonderful account OF
the benefit to be derived from
Postum could not exceed my own ex-
perience."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for copy of THE
Road to Wellville."
Postum now comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well
boiled.
Instant Postum-is a soluble pow
der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly
in cup of hot water and, with cream
and sugar, makes delicious bever-
age instantly. Grocers sell both kinds.

CHURCH RITES ARE DISTURBED

London, Feb. 3.-Aroused by the
bishop of London's letter declaring
there is no truth in the allegations
that the suffragettes in Holloway jail
are subjected to torture while being
forcibly fed" suffragettes repeatedly
interrupted the conservation services
conducted by him at st. MichaePs

The women set up chant, in which
reference was made to forcible feed
ing, and they called upon the bishop
to put stop to ''the torture of women
in English prisons"
The disturbers were quickly remov-
ed. An attempt was made by the
women to reach the bishop as he left
the church but was frustrated by the
police, who were present in force in
anticipation of trouble.
