IND0RSERS' NAMES WITHHELD.
Senator's Reject Provisfoh In Case of
Pennsylvaafa JudgeshiP.

Despite the platform pledge for pub
licity OF judicial indorsers. the Senate
conferees on the bill granting another
Federal judge for the Eastern district
of Pennsylvania steadfastly refuse to ac-
cept the House provision that the 'Presi-
dent make public the names of all in
dorsers for that ONCE.
The conferees of House and Senate
yesterday agreed to strike out the
Senate amendment granting an addi-
tional judge for the Fourth circuit, but
remained deadlocked on the publicity
provision The House. after having been
tricked into placing the publicity pro-
vision In the bill, decided to stand pat,
and accordingly the House conferees
were instructed to hold out for the pro-
vision.
The Senate conferees are Senators
Overman, Chiffon. and Clark, of wyom-
ing. 1t is probable the controversy will
be returned to the Senate in the form
of a request for instructions Meantime
party leaders are giving Republicans
plenty of room for a charge of repudiat-
ing platform pledges and progressive

The only way to correct faulty stomach
troubles and digestive mistakes is to do
what nature wants. All that nature
needs is little assistance to do this
work. This is why doctors tell you to
diet. By not eating nature il compelled
TO aid herself. You do not then over
work her when she is already exhausted
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets go into your
stomach just like food. They help digest
this food. Then they enrich the blood
and thus when the next meal is eaten the
system is better prepared to do its work
without assistance or at least less harm
fully.
BY following this natural habit you
will in a short time correct stomach
troubles, do away with indigestion and
remove all danger of fatal digestion

Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are the best
tablets made. They are composed Of the
very best natural ingredients. one grain

TELEGRAPH VALUATION
MAY BE MADE IN YEAR
Interstate Commerce Commission Will
Rush Work of Getting Data
for Government.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
expects to have a complete physical valu-
alton of the telegraph lines of the coun-
try and also certain long g-distance tele-
phone lines within a year. This was dis
closed yesterday in a letter written by
Chairman Clark, OF the commission, to
the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr..
Clark asked for a supplemental appro-
priation of 100000 for carrying on the
commissions physical valuation work in
the next year. The belief prevails that
the commission intends to rush the physi-
cal valuation Of the telegraph and tele-
phone properties because Of the interest
which the administration has shown in
the proposal for government ownership
of these properties.
The Senate has called upon the Post
master General for the Information upon
which he based his recent statements in
his annual report in favor of government
ownership of telegraph and telephone
lines. II is said this information had
been collected by a special commission
for the Postmaster General, and a reso-
luton was introduced in the Senate call

David Lamar was denounced in the
Senate yesterday by Senator Bacon, OF
Georgia. as "masauerading under an as
sumed name" Lamar sat in the public
gallery as the denunciation was uttered
on the floor. The Lane resolution d.
recting an inquiry by the Interstate Com
merce Commission into charges made
by William H. Green. of Nebraska. had
been reported to the Senate by Chairman
.Newiands. of the Interstate Commerce
Committee. who was explaining the
scope Of the resolution and why the COM
mittee had not reported II favorably. but
had agreed to refer IL to the Department
of Justice and Interstate Commerce Com
mission for such action a. they might
find necessary. The resolution directed
an inquiry as to whether the United
States Steel Corporation had benefited
within the last six years by rebates for
unlawful preferences from the railroads.
Senator Newiands explained to the
Senate that the committee had not
been able to get any definite information
In support of the charges. and that

Senator Lane. author of the resolution,
said that when he first took the matter
up he was not aware that Lamar had
anything to do with IL. He said that he
did not believe that the resolution ought
to be sidetracked. simply because II was
suspected that Lamar might have been

ference, however, the application Of the

with the customary denials-all have an
Interesting bearing upon the "pitiless
publicity" slogan which at one time was
adopted by the administration and en-
Enthusiastically acclaimed by the public.
The publications of Tuesday morning and
the complaints are not unlike those which
have resulted from other conferences SIM
ilarly planned and executed.
The fact of the matter is that news
paper men in Washington are thrown
most upon their own resources in re-
porting diplomatic news. II is utterly
hopeless to try to obtain the least i'm
portsnt information bearing upon an in
ternational problem from the State De-
partment.
The White House has been the only
source of news of any consequence, that
is, news that properly should belong to
the public. But the White House. upon
occasions such as the recent conference
with the Foreign Relations Committee
and there have been other conferences
with this same committee and with the
same result-has been as uncommunica-
tive as State Department officials.
Monday night the entire membership
of the Foreign Relations Committee
spent more than three hours in con,
ference with the White House. They
left the White House with the under
standing that the President was to be
permitted to do the talking. and that the
most the Senators would say when ques-
TONED was that there was no crisis
Hard 10 Get News. i
From the White House the newspaper
men were able to obtain little informa-
ton. From Senators they obtained here
and there scraps of information. which.
of course, they were forced to patch to-
gether the best they could. No ma
terial fact SO CLEANED and SO printed has
been called into question. Nor has any
fact been printed which. IL given out
calmly and frankly by the White House
following the conference with the
Foreign Relations Committee, would
have created misapprehension.
Any misconstruction which may have
been PLACID upon the actions Of the con-
ference, resulted purely from the neces-
sity which the newspaper men had to
meet. to use their own guesses in writing
their reports. No fact from which the
newspaper reports were built up-that is,
the reports of reliable. fair. and disin-
terested newspapers-but could have
been made public by the White House
without hampering the diplomatic Of
ficers of the government, or without
a breach of international
etiquette.

A careful study u our naval establish

to the conclusion that II grows from a
need that the people feel instinctively.
but know not how to meet. The masses
OF the people live inland, rarely see a
tattleship. have no opportunity for gain
ing knowledge OF the navy. They be-
sufficiently informed to urge their rep
resentatives as to its upbuilding. The
result has been that the growth of the

feverishly pushed at times when there

lowed to almost go by the board when
there seemed no occasion for alarm to
the unframed observer.
