livers are the prime causes of head.

dozens of other ills.
But the inactive liver always warns

there are two other steps which might

SAYS TREATY TEXT
SUSTA|NSU. s. RIGHT
Senator Weeks States FIatIy
He Is Opposed to Canal
ToHs Repeal.
REPLIES TO STATEMENTS
IN PRESIDENTS ADDRESS
Declares Language Referred to This
Country Applies in Equal Force
to Great Britain.

Senator Weeks of Massachusetts today
stated fatty that he was opposed to the
Panama canal tolls repeal bill. In an
address to the Senate he declared that
he believed the United States had every
right under the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
to exempt American coastwise vessels
from the payment of tolls through the
Panama canal and that he believed it
would be mistake to repeal this exemp-
ton.
Senator Weeks announcement places
the two senators from Massachusetts on
opposite sides of the repeal question.
However, Senator Lodge. the senior SEN
ator from Massachusetts,, although de-
claring his intention to vote for the re-
peal bill. has also stated that he be-
lieved the construction Of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty warranted the United
States in exemptinS American vessels of
commerce from the payment of tolls
Senator Lodge contended that it was not
expedient to do so.
After long consideration of this ques-
-tion." said Senator Weeks. after reading
to the Senate an extract from the ad-
dress Of the President to Congress On the
tolls. II am convinced that the Presi-
dent is in error in his conclusion and that
the course for Congress to take is to re-
fuse to pass the pending bill.
Il attach no weight to the hysterical
statements that have been made in the
debate about foreign complications as a
result of our not passing this bill. 1 have
searched with some diligence for a war
from any other country if we decide to
MAINTAIN our present position

The Indictment returned against Chase
April charges that he misappropriated

pleaded guilty alleged the misappropria-
ton of s6.o5s. The sixth count was in
the nature of a blanket charge.

Conferences are Held.

Several conferences were held yester-

THE result of these conferences" said
Mr.. Dean. was that several Of US called
upon Senator Kenyon, the author of the
law, for the purpose of getting him to
amend the law. but he sent word that he
didn't know when he could see US.
I'VE have made an appointment to con-
fer with Commissioner Newman on this
matter at II 30 a. m. Monday.
The law. in the main. is an excellent
one. What the property owners complain
of is the provision whereby the District
attorney Is compelled, without any dis
cretion on his part. to make a property
owner a co-defendant with any tenant
charged with conducting a lewd business.
The law is good, but that clause GER
tainly works an outrageous wrong"
