MOTHERS Of
DELICATE CHILDREN
Should Read the Following
letter-Mrs. SIack's Story
About Her ChiId's Recovery
Is Entirely Reliable.

Palmyra, Pa.-"T Three years ago my
little girl had black measles which left
her with chronic cough and so awfulIy
thin you could count all her ribs, and she
coughed so much she had no appetite.
Nothing we gave her seemed to
help her at all until one day Mrs. Neibert
told me how much good Vinol had done
her little girl, SO decided to try it for
my little one, and it has done her so much
good she is hungry all the time, her
cough is gone, she is stouter and more
healthy in color and this is the first win
ter she has been able to play out in the
snow, coasting and snow-balling without
any i'll effects. Mrs. ALFRED SLACK,
Palmyra, Pa.
We know Vinol will build up your
little ones and make them healthy,
strong and robust, therefore we ask
parents of every frail and sickly child
in this vicinity to try bottle of VinoI,
our delicious cod liver and iron tonic
without oil.
If we can induce you to try bottle
of Vinol as body builder and strength
creator for your child, and you do not
find it is all we claim, we will return
your money on demand.

persistently opposed the enactment of
every law which effectively restricts
the traffic or limits it or prohibits the
traffic and have defied the officers of
the law wheu they attempted to en-
force such legislation. 1t is matter
of record that the liquor interests who
now oppose submission of this resolu-
ton under the cry of local self-gov-
eminent, and state rights have persist
emily opposed all legislation which in
terferes with their traffic. Their
claim that they want well regulated
and restricted traffic falls on deaf
ears for the passage of even ward, or
village or township option back in the
states, these same interests opposed it
on the ground it is unreasonable.
When the people moved forward to
the point of wanting county option,
then the liquor interests knowing that
they cannot destroy municipal option,
admit that municipal option is all
right out that county option repre-
Sents too large unit of government
for such legislation.
When civilization advances in the
state, so that it is ready for state Pro-
hibition, then the liquor interests in
aruging it say that county option
should be the unit of government in
liquor legislation. Now that the peo-
pie have moved forward by taking the
next logical step and demand Prohibi-
ton for the ration, the liquor inter
ests raise the cry of state rights.
Right to Prohibit Traffic in Nation.
The question which has been most
troublesome in this discussion is whe-
Their the federal government has the
same right to prohibit the traffic
which the states have. + is our con-
tention that the federal government
has the same right as a state when
eH ~ the legally constituted majorit!as
OF the states confer this upon it. In
order to carry out the fundamental
purpose of government of promoting
the general welfare, it is necessary to
thus confer this power OH the federal
government as proposed in the resolu-
ton now pending in Congress. This
resolution does not take away from
the states any of their power to pro-
hi5t the liquor traffic, either for bey-
erage purposes or for any purpose. It
simply gives three-fourths of the
states Of the union an opportunity 10

ton of the liquor traffic for this coun-
try.
The adoption Of the amendment pro-
posed in this resolution means that
the government Of the United States
has gone out of partnership with the
beverage liquor traffic. When this is
done by the legally constituted author
ity for doing it, no state has any rea-
son for claiming that its rights are
be'ngt rampled upon or interfered

In Promoting the General Welfare and
Protecting Public Morals We Are
One People AS Nation.

1t is claimed by our opponents that
this is a state question and should be
dealt with only by states. In promot-
ing the general welfare and protecting
public morals our government is not
limited by state boundaries. The liq-
uor traffic does not confine the evils
which flow from it to the boundaries.
The liquor traffic does not confne the
evils which flow from it to the boun-
diaries of village, township, county
or state.
One of the principal arguments
against local option is that saloons are
located so near dry territory that they
do not get proper benefit from the law.
This is true to some extent While We
claim, and can prove that local, pro-
hibitory law under these unfavorable
circumstances is better than the open
saloon policy, yet the law would be
more effective were it not that the liq-
uor interests from the outside attempt
to nullify the peoples will through
their legally enacted statute. A num-
Der of the states are not much larger
than some of the large western coun-
ties, and these states would always be
hampered in their fight for law en-
forcement by the proximity of the
liquor traffic on the boundary of the
neighboring states. The liquor inter
ests are unwilling to concede to the
people any right to have any law
which effectuallv restricts or prohibits
the traffic OF to have the law enforced.
When we face such a traffic there is
but one thing for the patriotic liberty
loving people of the country to do and
that is to demand an unconditional
surrender of its enemy. To permit
such an enemy to continue its bust
ness of debauching the citizenship
would be very similar to harboring a
traitor within our borders. If a large
per cent of the states of this country
should vote out saloons, this lawless
traffic would concentrate in the re-
naming states and from these points

 aged By His Wife.

Geneva, Ills, July 10.-The jury in the case of Anthony Petras, accused of the murder last winter of Theresa Hollander, disagreed and was dis charged today
 Theresa Hollander was dragged into grave yard on the outskirts of Aurora and clubbed to death. Her body was discovered an hour later, lying in the snow, with her arms broken and her skull fractured. Rob bery was not the motive, as all her belongings were intact.

VOLCANOES ACTIVE IN
 ALASKAN PENINSULA Captain McMullen of Steam CT Dirigo Brings News
 of Activity.

Seward, Alaska, July 10.-Further details of the tremendous volcanic ac- tivity in progress along the Alaskan Peninsula, west of Seward and reach ing to the Aleutian Islands. were given today by Captain McMullen of the steamer Dirigo, which brought first news of the outburst.
 Observations made by the crew of the steamer July 1 showed that . new crater had opened on the north side of Mount Shishaldin, the most westerly of the three peaks reported in eruption. Flowing lava had cut a wide path through the snow for miles down the side of the mountain. Mount Shishaldin which is on Uni- mak Island. is one of the most ac- tive volcanoes in the world and has been in almost continuous eruption for years. , t
 Pavlof Volcano, on the Alaska Pe- ninsula west Of the Shumagin Island, 100 miles southeast of Mount Shish- aldin was also active when the Dirigo passed. The action of Paw lof was peculiar, the mountain throwing out . black ash, the light fall of which was noticed on the Dirigo. Pavlof has not been in eruption since 1912.
 The passengers on the steamer said that fishermen reported two of the six craters in the mountain ridge west of Cook Inlet, known as Mount Kat mai have been emitting dense vol umes of sulphur laden smoke, but none of the other craters has been active.
 The volcanoes are so remote from civilization that no accurate record can be kept of their activity, but it is believed that the present activity began late in May as the weather since then has been similar to that following the first violent outburst of Katmai June 9, 1912, when Kodiak Island and the adjacent mainland were covered with deep layer of volcanic ash.
 For more than six weeks the sky has been overcast with heavy clouds high in the air and there has been more than the usual amount of rain. After heavy rain three weeks ago & yellow deposit was observed on the surface of the sea. This is believed to have been sulphur dust thrown out by the volcano and hundreds of miles west of here.

NO REMONSTRANCE TO
 SIMONS' GRAND HOTEL County Commissioners Re- serve Decision, Pending
 Inspection of Place.

Not a hint of remonstrance was expressed today when Isadore Simons was given a hearing before the county commissioners on his application for a license for the Grand Hotel at 25-33 Myrtle street.
 @ The commissioners reserved decis- ion and said they would visit the hotel in the near future and then an- nounce whether 1t should have a H. cense.
 In some quarters it was believed that there would be objection to the hotel license, as there was heavy re- monstrance against the Hotel Wash ington, which is in the same district. The opposition did not crop out, how ever.
 Smons described the hotel for the commissioners and was questioned by his counsel, Judge F. B. Hunger ford. He said the hotel would be located on the second and third floors of the building and would consist of forty-eight rooms, eighteen of them having private baths. There will be telephone in every room, he said. He told the commissioners he had taken several manufacturers through the hotel and they had expressed sat isfaction. Simons said he would con- duct the hotel himself and would live there. The property is owned by his brother. Rudolph, he said, but half interest would be transferred to him soon.
 Mrs. Nellie Simons, wife of the ap- plicant; Frank Slater, an architect; N B. Mag, Main street business man, and several others spoke in favor of the petition

MITCHELL PROHIBITS
 PARADE OF REDS
Berkman, However, Says Procession to Mourn Ashes of Bomb Victims
 Will Be Held As Planned.

New York, July 1O.--Mayor Mitchell announced today that he had instruct ed the police not to allow the pro- cession Alexander Berkman, anar- chist, and his associates proposed to hold tomorrow in honor of the three men who were killed in a Harlem tenement house last Saturday by a bomb explosion.
 There will be no parade" said the mayor, "as Police Commissioner Woods and agreed that it would lead to disorder and breach of peace. The free speech policy of the administration will be continued, ana these or other persons may meet in public assembly under the conditions laid down in the statutes and be protected in their constitutional rights
 This means that while Berkman and his followers may hold a peace able meeting in Union Square or any other public place, they may not ex- hibit the urns containing the ashes of the men killed or hold any parade.
 Berkman announced after the deci- sion of the mayor was made known to him that the parade as planned would be held. The police, Berkman asserted, had been notified of this de- cision of the anarchists, Industrial Workers of the World and other or ganizations. Berkman added that he expected no disorder as there would be no inflammatory speeches and that it was his desire to show by solemn memorial service the respect in which the three men were held by the organizations named.

Newport, R. l., July 10.---In the lightest of airs and over long roll ing sea the three American cup yachtz were sent away today in a thirty -niIa contest under the auspices of the New7 York Yacht club.

STUBBORN DEFENSE
 FOR MRS. WAKEFIELD
Counsel for Woman Accused of Nlur- der Deny She Will Enter Plea to
 Lesser Degree of Crime.

New Haven, July 10.-with all other criminal business of the present session of the New Haven superior court sent to the background tenn porarily, States Attorney filling pre- second trial of Mrs. Bessie J. Wake field, charged with the murder of her husband, William, which will open on Tuesday. There has been a report current that Mrs. wakefield's case might be disposed of by entering of plea to lesser degree of crime which would carry a prison sentence, but absolute denial Is made of this and evidently Mrs. Wakefield's counsel is ready for a stubborn defence. A panel of eighty-four talesmen has been summoned. which Is a larger number than usual. The summoning of talesmen has kept the deputy sheriffs busy for several days.
 The trial will be in the new court house. Accommodations for spec tators are limited. Acoustic properties of the room are not good and even among the small number of spec tators who can be given seats many will be unable to clearly hear the tes- timony unless witnesses speak in a loud voice. The moment an attorney or witness raises his voice an echo is created which confuses the tones.
 The first trial was in the old court house, where the interested public was able to fill seats in a gallery. The deputy sheriffs look for many ap- plications for. admission to this trial by reason of the interest awakened in the case.

CARSON GIVEN POWER
 TO MUSTER VOLUNTEERS Unionist Leader Delivers Stirring Speech at Bel
 fast Meeting.

Belfast, July 10.-The provisional government formed by the Ulster unionists at it's first meeting today, gave Sir Edward Carson a free hand to take whatever action he may think necessary in calling the Ulster volun- teers to arms. The men were de- clared ready for mobilization at a moments notice. Sir Edward Car son, in a speech, declared that, the time had come for the loyalists of Ulster to translate their words into action He said something must be done to compel the British govern ment to make up it's mind. Ulster, he concluded, was anxious for peace. but was not going to accept peace with surrender.
 Full military honors were accorded by the Ulster Volunteers today to Sir Ed- ward Carson, the Irish unionist leader when he arrived accompanied by the Marquis of Londonderry, viscount Castlereagh. Walter H. Long and Ronald McNeil and other unionist members of parliament to attend the meeting of the Ulster provisional gov- ernment.
 A guard of honor composed of 400 armed volunteers and fifty armed motorcycle dispatch riders met and escorted the leaders to the residence of Captain, James Craig, the military leader, where they will remain for a week. 81
 The intentions of the provisional government have not been disclosed, but one object of the meeting Is the arrangement of an impressive cele- bration of the twelfth of July, or "Orangemen's Day" in order to show the government and the people of Great. Britain that nothing but the absolute exclusion of Ulster from the operations of the Irish home rule bill will satisfy us."
 As one prominent Ulster man put it, the government is somewhat un- easy as to the outcome of the cele- bration.
 Major General Sir Cecil Macready, who is in command of the military in the Belfast district has been in con- ference with Premier Asquith on the subject of the situation and the police have been instructed to act with great care so as to give no excuse for an outbreak.

 TO GIVE TESTIMONY
Stamford Woman, However, Wants the Consent of Her Counsel Be-
 fore She Issues Statement.

fore She Issues Statement.
 Stamford July 1O.-It was uncer- tain early this afternoon whether or not Coroner John J. Phelan would resume his inquest later in the day into the death of Waldo R. Ballou. If he does sit 1t was thought the session would be short and the in quest would not be closed at this time.
 Dr. Bruce F.. Weaver, a patholo- gist of the local hospital, who has been making tests of certain stains found in the apartments. of Mrs. Helen M. Angle, who is held without bail under the coroner's s order as a ma- terial witness in the case. said that he was ready to testify to his analy- sis.
 The coroner who was in Bridgeport this morning said he did not expect afternoon and upon arrival would see the police and also States Attorney Cummings. Judge N. c. Downs, counsel for Mrs. Angle. is away. Mrs. Angle has told the police that she was willing to testify and give her version of the incidents of the night of June 23 when Ballou was killed, if Judge Downs would consent to her making a statement. Judge Downs when here last said he did not wish Mrs Angle to testify and should he be absent when the coroner sits to- day it seemed unlikely that Mrs. Angle would be in the court room.

rliar, the alderman and the mayor got together at the close of the meeting and MT. Shine wrote out and signed the following statement which he handed to his honor:
 Alderman Shines Statement
 ''I did not say Mayor Quigley had < dealings with the ice corporations.
 GEO. H. SHINE"
 Start of the Trouble.
 All the trouble at last nights meet ing was precipitated when the com { mittee suggested that the city pur- chase or hire two wagons with which to go into the ice business. Mayor ; Quigley stated that 1t would simply mean g price cutting war between the city and the ice corporations if the city went into the business on this plan and he expressed the firm be- lief that he did not think the city ought to go into this business in such way as to wreck the business of citizens and taxpayers who have been long established.
 Mayor Quigley averred that the pur- pose of the municipal ice proposition has been attained inasmuch as it has secured lowering of the price of ice
 
 cent figure and he did not think that the ice committee, because 1t is backed up by the large city, should now go ahead and ruin the business of some of it's citizens. Charges Arc Made. Y sa When Mayor Quigley made these statements at last nights meeting AL derman Shine said: That is just what I read between the lines of that letter of yours. You've been in con- ference with the ice corporations" In this connection the argument waxed warm and the speaker made several other accusations to which Mayor Quigley replied: Alderman Shine, deny that I have ever had a con- corporation and I am not antagonis- tic to your committee. Any one who can read the English language and understand punctuation can un- sderstand the letter without further explanation"
 Copy of Famous Letter.
 This forenoon Mayor Quigley sup piled the press with copies of his now famous letter to the ice committee. The following is copy of this letter:
 "July 3, 1914 "Mr. Theodore Wagner,
 "So. Burritt Street,
 "City.
 Dear Sir:
 T have just had the pay roll of the ice committee submitted to me for approval, and it amounts to $S7.20. This pay roll is out of all proportion to the amount of business your committee Is doing and. unless something is done at once to remedy present conditions, I will take hand fyin the matter myself. I find on this pay roll the names of seven men and fail to see, if you have this num- Der in your employ, what they are doing.
 Respectfully yours,
 GEORGE A. QUIGLEY,
 Mayor of New Britain"
 Mayor Is Criticised.
 After this initial clash with Mr. Shine the mayor stated that if he could be shielded from further ar- tacks he would like to tell the com mittee that until you devise some plan go no further He said that people are continually throwing this matter in his face and telling him that he is not keeping his platform pledge about business administra-
