Borah that the guilty should be pun
ished, but he questioned whether il
would be wise for the Senate to COM
pei the interstate commerce commission
to disclose its information. ''This reso-
luton is an attempt to protect the
rights of stockholders" he said. "The
injuries to stockholders and persons of
small means have been very great. If
these charges are proved and something
can be done to recover the money it
ought to be DONE"
Cummins remarked that the one diff
ficulty is the absence of Federal law to
cover all the cases covered in the
charges. Borah retorted that all were
covered by state laws and the attorney
general could do nothing to confer i'm
munity upon the offenders under the
state laws. McCumber of North Dakota
said that for several years bills had
been before Congress to provide such
federal law as was needed. and Cum
minis remarked sharply that the senator
need not search his memory very deeply
to recall what senators had opposed
that legislation.
Referring to the publication OF GER
tam PAID news articles in the interest
OF the New Haven, Senator Norris
quoted the post office appropriation bill
of 1912 to show that such an offence
was punishable with fine of $500. The
senator charged, also, on the authority
Of "a member Of the House." that fol.
lowing the publication of the Prouty re-
port Professor Bruce Wyman OF Har-
ward university, who was on the payroll
Of the New Haven, had come to Wash
iDgton three times and gone to the Of
flee OF the chairman of one of the great
standing committee and "labored with
him" to convince him that nothing
ought to be done to the New Haven
road. The professor came so often, the
senator said, that the chairman finally
told him he couldn't spend any more
time on him.

COLD WAVE ON WAY
HERE; DUE SUNDAY
Heavy Frost Will Crop the Atlantic
Coast States from Maine
to Florida.

Washington,s Feb. THE severest
weather of the year is now prevailing
in the upper Missouri valley and the
plains states as far south as Oklahoma
and the Panhandle of Texas, The tenn
perature at Havre, Mont, yesterday

zero temperatures or lower prevailed as

ATTEMPT TO BLOCK
POLICE REFORM BILLS
Court Action to Enjoin Mitchell from
Urging Legislature to Strengthen
Police Commissionership.

New York. Feb Application for
an injunction restraining Mayor Mitchell
from advocating measures in the state
legislature increasing the power of the
police commissioner was filed yesterday
yesterday in the supreme court by
Joseph j. o'Reilly, the editor of the
civil service newspaper. One of the
conditions under which Colonel Goethals
recently told the mayor that he might
accept the commissionship was that he
should be given the power of removing
without court review.
Mayor Mitchell announced that he
would advocate a bill providing such
power. To this O'Reilly, whose paper
circulates largely among policemen,
specifically objects.

PURE, RICH BLOOD
May Be Had by Taking Old Reliable
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

Pure blood enables the stomach, liver
and other digestive organs to do their
work properly. Without it they are
sluggish, there is loss of appetite, some
times faintness, deranged state of the
intestines, and, in general, all the symp-
toms of dyspepsia.
Pure blood is required by every organ
of the body for the proper performance
of its functions.
Hoods Sarsaparila surely makes pure
blood, and this is why it is so very sue
cessful in the treatment of so many dis
eases and ailments. 1t acts directly on
the blood, Kidding it of scrofulous and
other humors.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is a peculiar COM
bination of od-purifying, nerve-ton-
ing, strength giving substances. Get it
to-day and begin taking it at once

PLAN AERO RACE,
GOTHAM TO HUB
Birdmen Will Fly from Statue of Lib

New York, Feb. An aviation race
from the statute of liberty in New York
harbor to Boston light and return is
being planned as the chief event in the
flying program OF the Aero Club Of
America next summer.
The distance, approximately 600 niles,
is greater than that covered in any pre-
vious race. Only aeroplanes equipped
with pontoons for landing on the water
will be permitted to enter the race, and
any air craft having to alight at any
point in the round trip will be disquali-
fed.
1t is believed that at least 20 ayiators
will be entered.

Score on Norwich In
dependents
FEW SPECTATORS
AT GODDARD GYM.
Witt Of the School Team and
Ogston of the Wis
itors Starred

Playing in true form, the basketball
representatives of Goddard seminary
found a weak proposition in the Norwich
Independents at the Goddard gymnasium
last evening, winning by the score of
40 to Is. The game was absolutely de-
void of interest. The Norwich team,
which was supposed to be a representa-
tive gathering of basketball talent from
the Dog River institution, displayed poor
form and their work was contrary to
all expectations. The team failed to re-
veal any material success in team work
and when the opportunity was present
for scoring, their powers were negligible.
Individual playing predominated in the
work.
The small following of Goddard root
ers and students were highly elated over
the grand showing accomplished by the
seminary court players. All during the
season the work of the Goddard quintet
has been Indifferent, but last night the
players seemed to have taken a lease
of life and carried the soldier lads be-
fore them with dreadful onslaughts. At
intervals the play electrified the handful
of spectators.

favor, the scoring standing % to s. With
fine burst of speed, the local team
jumped into the lead. The powerful at
tacks of the Goddard five seemed to eli
the visitors with dismay and after the
first five minutes it was only matter
OF time to determine the aggregate score.
In the last period substitutions were
made for several of the Goddard regu-
lars.
"Gussie" Witt, the authenticated back
of the Goddard team, proved to be the
individual star of the evening. He sue
ceeded in scoring seven baskets from the
floor and was at all times conspicuous
with his dribbling and passing. He
found an able coterie of assistants in
Tierney, Lameri and Cosby. Aulie 0g-
ston, the former Spaulding athlete, was
the best performer of the Northfeld
team. He scored five baskets from the
floor. At all times he was in the calcium
glare, but was poorly supported by
