Buckingham Palace Conference Lasts
Only 40 Minutes.

London, July 24.-According to the
Liverpool Daily Post, one Of the lead
ing liberal newspapers. it is frankly
acknowledged today that the effort
made by the conference at Bucking-
ham palace. to reconcile the conflict
ing views Of the Irish nationalists and
the Ulster unionists, must be aban-
doned. The newspaper adds that the
report of this unhappy result of the
conference OF the leaders of the liberal,
conservative, Irish nationalist and Ul-
ster unionist parties will be published
in the Court Circular this evening.
The Buckingham palace conference
met again today and held the shortest

cheQuer David Lloyd George, repre-
senting the liberals; Andrew Boner

Of the regular conservative opposition.
Sir Edward Carson and Captain James
Craig. Ulster unionist and John Dillon,
Irish nationalist arrived at the palace
at IL o'clock, but the business Of the

eleven, as John E. Redmond, through a
misunderstanding, was half an hour
late.
! Discussion Of the Ulster situation
lasted only forty minutes and the
members then left the palace.
No statement was given out as to the
, result of today's meeting, but it was
expected that Premier Asquith would
make an announcement In the house
of commons during the day.
The feeling was general in the Hobbies
OF the house Of commons that the Ulster
conference had failed in its immediate
purpose and no definite agreement had
been reached.
j Members awaited anxiously the an
nouncement as to the actual situation

Unlershirt as Evidence.

st. Louis, July A.-Charles Wille's I'M

as evidence against him by internal rev.
enue officers who made q raid on his
creamery establishment here yesterday.
Willie was charged with coloring oleo-

selling 1t for butter. One thousand
pounds Of oleOmargarine was confi0cated.
The officers could find NO sample OF the
coloring matter required by law AZ evi-
dence in such cases and were about to
depart when one OF them noticed an
orange-colored spot ON the sleeve Of
Wille's undershirt. They believed this to
be q splOtch Of coloring matter and took
the shirt with them.

RECEIVING CERTIFICATES
ACCORDING TO CUSTOM

Certificates of authority of all the
foreign fire insurance companies to
do business in Kentucky will expire
June 80, the close of the fiscal year.
These certificates are renewed annu-
ally by the State Insurance Depart
ment without application if the COM
panies have complied with the laws
and are considered financially sound.
There has been no intimation of any
intention of the insurance depart
ment to refuse a certificate to any of
the companies which have not volun-
tarily asked for the cancellation OF
their certificates, and as their agents
licenses have expired many of the
companies which gave notice that
they had suspended writing business
in Kentucky have applied for the re-
newal of their agents licenses. 1t is
intimated as unlikely that the present
situation will be further aggravated
by drastic action in regard to non
compliance with the regulations OF
the rating board when the time comes
for renewing certificates OF, author
ity to do business.
DistillerieS are experiencing little
trouble in securing insurance on their
warehouse stocks, according to the
bankers. Brokers, who give bond to
secure the premium tax, are author
lied to insure risks in unauthorized
companies, and a Frankfort broker
said that he had placed hundreds o.
thousands of dollars worth insurance
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1914-05-15

on whisky; but he has been unable
to get insurance on commercial risks
and tobacco. The whisky is a better
risk, he said, and outside companies
will take this, when they will not take
a chance on a merchants stock of
goods or tobacco or real estate risks.
There are less than dozen brokers
licenses issued in Kentucky.
Thelast act passed by the General
Assembly was designed to alleviate
an anticipated situation such as con
fronts Kentucky now. 1t authorizes
Kentucky companies to reinsure their
risks in foreign companies not licens
ed to do business in the State, sub
ject to the approval of the State In
surance Department, and on condi-
ton that the Kentucky company pays
the per cent. Premium tax. This
practically expands the capacity of 10
cal companies for handling the bust
ness to the extent of the added re-
sources of the underwriting company
How far this will go toward taking
care of the risks remains to be seen
There are seven stock companies in
Kentucky, either authorized to do bus
mess or in process of organization
three mutual and swenty-six assess
ment companies, according to the last
report of the Insurance Department.

the system, and thus invigorate the
stomach's functions to normal activ-
ity.
Mr.. Rifles experience is especially
interesting at this time Of the year be-
cause it shows the close relationship
there is between nervous breakdown
and a neglected cold. ;
Pe-ru-na should be kept in the home
at all times, that cold upon it's first
appearance may be treated promptly
and successfully. This often saves
money and time, and what is more
important, a great deal of vitality.

Pe-ru-na a most remarkable medi-
cine for building up the system and
for curing coughs and colds.

FRIEDMAN CURE HAS
PROVED A FAILURE

WASHINGTON, May 10.-After
observing patients who have been
treated with DR.. Frederick F. Fried
mann's vaccine for fourteen months,
DR.. Manheimer, of New York, declar-
ed that this so-called cure for tuber-
culosis has exhibited neither cura-
tive nor preventative powers. He
made his report before the clinical
section of the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis,. now in session here.
I'm March, 1913" said Dr. Man
himer, eighteen patients were treat
ed under my supervision. Of these
fifteen can be followed up, and of
that number three are dead. The
number of injections in these cases
were one, two and four respectively.
Of the remaining twelve patients, ten
received one, and two received four
injections. Five of the ten patients
| who received one injection developed
| ASSESSES at the site of the injection
and were, therefore, unsuitable for
further injections, according to the in
ventor. The other five patients were
not reinjected, either because they
/ did not see the Improvement they
| had been led to expect or because
they had become worse and had lost
confidence in Friedman. AS to their
present condition., five of them are
now unchanged and five are worse
| than year ago.
'One patient who had four injec-
; tons feels we'll and presents signs
Of an arrested lung process, but he
has not gained in weight and has de-
veloped a new tuberculosis process
in another part of the body
"The second patient with four in
jections has tuberculosis of the knee
joint and is now decidedly worse than
before.
1.-The infiltrate of the fourth injec-
! ton broke down and discharged pus.
Where ASSESSES resulted at the
site of the first injection, the vac
cine apparently produced on addition
al harmful effect. The disease re-
manned uninfluenced.
Friedman neglected to prevent
ASSESSES formation, although he
claimed to know how. To be very
charitable, one might Judge from one
single case, that decided natural heal
ing tendencies, aided by common
sense treatment, will not be hindered
by the remedy.
When in quiescent case the first
subjective and objective symptoms
of new outbreak appear, and one
naturally wishes to check it, the rem
edy is absolutely worthless for that
purpose. 1t cannot prevent the ten
dency to spread, if a case is so dis
posed. The method of it's administra-
tiOn has been anything but careful
and intelligent. For these reasons,
and on account of the absence of cur
alive and preventative powers in this
series, it cannot be recommended
