SAYS POLICE CHIEF
WAS URGED To PULL
CAPITAL ST. HOUSE
Rev. Mr.. Pringle Thinks It's Queer
Police Can't Get
Evidence
DECLARES PLACE RAN 10 YEARS
Publicity Is Best Weapon to Use
Against Vice Is His
Opinion
DECLARES PLACE RAN 10 YEARS

Claiming the police department
knew of the existence of the Capital
street resort in time to make q raid,
the Rev. II. n. Pringle, of the Inter
national Reform Bureau of Wash
ington, D. c., to-day expressed sur
prise at statements made by Colonel
Hutchison, who said yesterday that
too much publicity made good work
by the police impossible.
The Rev. Mr.. Pringle also takes ex-
ception to other things Harrisburg S
chief of police said. He said this
morning:
''I was surprised to learn from the
evening papers that an investigation
of Harrisburgs brothels, by the Inter-
national Reform Bureau had spoiled
chances for arrests Fifty policemen
ought to inspire more fear among law
breakers than one preacher, and they
do when they are on the job.
'It is indeed unfortunate that the
Capital street resort, which has run
nineteen years without an arrest or
a raid, was disturbed by public men,
ton, just three days before Chief
Hutchison was going to pull it.
"A group of men tried to induce
him to raid it last Saturday night
before any public mention was made
The chief acknowledged that he knew
of the character of the place, but he
ted from the list which he submitted
to the court a few days ago. The pa
pers report that the investigator foi
the police department could not get
into the resorts and, through doors
partly ajar received this message, sc

WILSON OPPOSED TO
.EXE|MPTI|VC AMERICAN
VESSELS FROM TOLL
Senators Say His Position Inclines
Toward Contention Of
England
By Associated Press

Washington, Jan. 27.-That Presi-
dent wilson is opposed to the eXemp-
ton of American coastwise ships from
Panama Canal tolls was fatty asserted
at the Capitol to-day by those who
know what took place at the confer
ence last night between the Presi-
dent and Senate foreign relations
committee.
Senators who talked with the Pres
ident said that Mr.. Wilson fully ex-
planned his position on the tolls ques-
ton, that his views incline toward the
contentious of Great Britain and that
he would make public his attitude in
the near future.
Several senator's expressed surprise
that in view of the Presidents posi-
tive attitude he had not urged some
action at the extra session of congress.
Two Views Expressed
What the President may recommend
was not disclosed in to-day's reports
of the White House conference, but ii
was pointed out that two ways might
meet the views of the President. One
would be to repeal the exemption pro-
vision of the act. The other would be
the passage of the Adamson resolu-
ton to suspend for two years the op-
Grafton of the exemption clause and
thus demonstrate whether the canal
could be self-sustaining without tolls
from American ships.
1t is said to-day that the President
was not opposed to toll exemptions as
such but that he was strongly of the
opinion that they would be a discrimi-
ma ton which would not agree with the
provisions of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty.
Lifting the embargo on arms for
Mexico also was discussed at last
nights conference.
Would End Hostilities
Some senator's favored it on the
ground that It would hasten hostili-
ties to conclusion. One senator said
to-day he believed the President was
inclining more and more to that view
and might life the embargo soon.
1t was the general opinion of sena-
tors after their talk with the Presi-
dent on the Japanese situation that
officials in japan were friendly to the
United States but were being pressed
by radicals

Whitman Is Urged to
Investigate State Graft
By Associated Presy

Albany, n. Y, Jan. 27.-Plans for
conducting a legislative State wide in
vestigation of alleged graft in State
departments were discussed in con-
ference of the Republicans of the
Senate and Assembly held last night
but no decision was reached. Several
speakers warmly endorsed the plan
and urged the selection of District
Attorney Charles S. Whitman of New
York county, for inquisitor in case
the investigation is determined upon
Two plans for conducting the hear
|ings were considered. One plan is to
entrust the matter to standing COM
mittee of the assembly while the other
proposes the appointment of a spe-
cial committee.
Another conference probably will be
held soon to decide whether an in
qury shall be undertaken in behalf of
the legislature.

SAL0ON[ESS COUNTY
BY 1915 IS AIM Of
NO-L|CEVSE PEOPLE
Fight to Wipe Out Liquor Traffic
Will Have Strong
Support
AFFECT ORGANIZATION TODAY
Constant Watch Will Be Kept on
Every Holder of the
Privilege
AFFECT ORGANIZATION TODAY

That the movement TO wipe out the
saloons in Harrisburg and Dauphin
county will be strongly supported is
shown by the desire of individuals
and organizations to whom no formal
notice was sent to attend the meeting
this afternoon in the Masonic tenn
pie.
Gilbert Aldinger. superintendent oi
temperance work of the Dauphin
County Sabbath School Association
who issued a call for a meeting To
organize a temporary no-license lea
que, said this morning that he ex-
pected large attendance this after
noon.
At this meeting a temporary or
ganization of the Dauphin County No
license League will be affected and the
methods used in Chester county. where
a no-license league has had great sue
cess. will be explained by the Rev. w.
q. Nyce, of Chester county.
Mr.. Aldinger says il is not the in
tention of the league TO make any
strenuous campaign between now and
/ the license court in February because
F not sufficient time remains in which
to obtain evidence except perhaps in
a few instances.
I'VE shall organize the league per-
|manently in the city with subdivisions
Throughout the county, so that a con-
stant watch can be maintained over
every license holder in the county dur
|ing the coming year. When any in
.fringements of the law are discovered
members of the league will make re-
ports and il sufficient evidence can be
procured, efforts will be made to have
the license of the offending hotel
keeper revoked.
When Climax will Come
Naturally, the climax of our pres
ent efforts will come in February,
1915, at the license court, when we
shall throw all our forces together in
an attempt to have every license in
the county revoked. OF course we
cant accomplish everything in few
months or possibly in year. but from
the enthusiasm that seems to prevail
among those who will attend the
meeting this afternoon, there can be
no doubt that Dauphin county is as
much aroused against the saloon as
are other sections of the State where
these campaigns have been started"
The meeting which will be held at
4.30 this afternoon at the Masonic
temple was called by the Sabbath
School Association of Dauphin coun-
license league.
Invitations were sent to the Anti
Saloon League of Pennsylvania, the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
the City Councils OF Harrisburg
churches, and numbers of individuals.
ministers and laymen.
Since the call was issued. represen-
tatives of the local Christian Endea-
Nor societies have announced their de-
Sire to attend the meeting and many
individuals to whom notices We're not
sent will be there.

Uric Acid is Slow Poison

Unseen in it's approach. hard to de-
tect in its early stages, and cruelty
painful in its later forms, uric acid
poisoning is a disease too often fatal.
Bright's disease is n of the final
stages of uric acid poisoning. 1t kills
In our country every year more men
and women than any other ailment
except two-consumption and pneu-
monia. Bright's disease and uric acid
poisoning usually start In some kidney
weakness that would not be hard to
cure. if discovered early, SO it is we'll
to know the early signs Of kidney dis
ease and uric poisoning.
When uric acid is formed too fast
and the kidneys are weakened by a
cold, or fever. by overwork, or by over
indulgences. the acid collects, the blood
gets impure and heavy, there is head
ache, dizziness, heart palpitation. and
a dull. heavy-headed, drowsy feeling
with disturbances Of the urine.
Real torture begins when the uric
acid forms into gravel or stone in the
kidney, or crystallizes into Jagged bits
in the muscles, joints or on the nerve
tubings. Then follow the awful pains
of neuralgia. rheumatism. govt, sciat-
lea, neuritis, lumbago or kidney collie.
