the kidney secretions were passing,
they seemed to burn. A steady, dull
pain in my back annoyed me and
whenever stopped, it was almost
impossible for me to straighten on
account of sharp pains that darted
through my kidneys. l had to work all

SITUATION In JAPAN
CAUSES CONCERN HERE
Believed that Resignation of Cabinet
Will Result in Pressing California
Land Controversy.

News of the resignation of the Jap
anese cabinet was received here today
with a certain uneasiness, a change of
government in Japan at this time being
regarded as undesirable from the view
point of the United States because of
the political capital the opposition made
out Of the failure of the late ministry to
press more vigorously the California land
controversy.
While the information the State Depart
ment has is thus far unofficial, no reason
is known here to doubt the authenticity
of the reports. Ambassador Guthrie
cabled that the news agencies in Japan
were his authority for the statement that
Premier Yamamoto had presented to the
Emperor his own resignation and those
of his colleagues.
The resignation of the Japanese cabinet,
while technically due to the failure of
the Parliament to pass the naval budget,
really has its causes in matters of much
greater Significance.
To observers here 1t is not at all clear
as to where the Emperor will turn to
find a premier to form a new cabinet
1t Is now feared that the new govern
ment, which, of course, will represent.
more or less, the opposition which stirred
up the agitation over the california con-
troversy, will feel itself Obliged to re-
new pressure upon the United States for
settlement. As the matter stands today
both sides are standing by their original
ground in the controversy. and there Is
not now the slightest prospect Of the
United States doing anything for Japan
as a result

TROOPS KEEP STRIKERS QUIET

Buffalo. March A-By order OF Col.
Charles ]. Wolf. the village of Depew
was placed under martial law tonight.
All crowds in the streets were dispersed
and saloons were closed
Col Wolf took this action because of
the imminent danger OF another outbreak
at the Gould coupler works.
With rifles loaded and bayonets leveled.
the State militia preserved order IN De-
pew today. Following the riotous scenes
OF yesterday in connection with the strike
of the 2,SnO employees OF the Gould cou-
pier plant. the military authorities took
no chances. Tonight the Third Battalion
Of the Seventh Regiment was moved to
that village. making a total of about
900 men now on duty.
The situation is admitted to be des-
perate. Arms are being shipped into the
village. and the villagers are securing
them. This morning they received 100
rifles and ammunition. There are three
Polish societies in the village and all
the members are armed. Many cases of
cartridges were shipped there tonight by
strike sympathizers. il is claimed.
The troops thus far are only guarding
the plant and are not exposing them
selves on patrol duty in the streets. 1t is
likely that the Sixty-fifth Regiment also
will be ordered 10 the scene before to-
morrow night.

Attorney MAKES PLEA
lin M'DERMOTTS BEHALF
Congressman Already Has Received
Sufficient Punishment. His Lawyer
Tells House Committee.
EMERY ASKS RIGHT OF REPLY

Before the House Committee on
Judiciary yesterday. the case of Repre-
sentative McDermott, of Illinois, against
whom indefinite charges were filed in the
report of the House Lobby investigator
Committee, was presented by his attorney,
James S. Easby-Smith. Under the reso-
luton recommended by the lobby Inves-
tigators and in turn presented to the
full Committee on Judiciary there re-
mains against Mr.. McDermott the sug-
gestion that public censure in the House
or even greater punishment might be
meted out. 1t was Mr.. Easby-Smith's $
contention that McDermott had received
sufficient punishment. He proceeded to
review at considerable length the testi-
mony against McDermott as presented by
Martin Michael Mulhail and Isaac II.
McMichael
Mr.. Easby-Smith disposed of the Null
hall charge in very few words. Rum
ming down the list of accusations pre-
sented by MulhaIl he showed the COM
mittee from quotations of the evidence
that little or nothing of a serious char
acter charged by Mulhall had been SUBJ
stantiated. He showed that the most
serious charge presented by MulhalI,
which was to the effect that Nc
Dermott had forged his name to a check,
naO DeSn ulSDrOVeO.
Mr.. Easby-Smith further reviewed
the evidence brought out in the course
of McDermott's direct examination. in
which it was shown that the money
alleged to have been obtained by Nc
Dermott from the loan shark and the
liquor interests in Washington had
been personal loans made him in a per-
sonal way, and without reference TO
McDermott's vote or influence on any
legislation pending in Congress.
AT the morning hearing of the COM
mittee, James A. Emery, counsel for
the National Council for Industrial De-
fense, and associated with the National
Association of Manufacturers, present.
ed an argument against the inclusion
of the name of himself or his asso-
ciates in any resolution of censure un-
less such presentments be made at the
bar of the House, with the right of the
accused parties to be represented either
in person or by counsel. He demand
ed the right to be confronted in the
open House with such accusations as
the committee might see fit to make
against his organization or its person
nel, and insisted upon the constitu-
tional right of reply.

only. Members become such by deposit
ing any surplus savings they wish, and
when a member has deposited in one
sum or in installments, say, so, he be-
comes entitled to one vote In the man.
agement Voters. or members. only may
be entitled to obtain a loan. but no loan
may be made to any one until proper
tionate sum in the shape of surplus cash
on hand is in the bank. At the same
time no rigid rule is necessary to ex-
clude outsiders obtaining a loan when
the circumstances justify 1t.
Interest for loans should be low. even
lower than per cent, and the principal be
payable in installments at the convenience
OF the borrower under reasonable limita-
tions. And extentions of those limita-
tions be made when reasonably neces-
sary.
The expenses of said bank should be
somewhat after the manner of our build
ing and loan companies, where one sec
retary who does the routine work, alone
draws a salary. The Office should be
plain and inexpensive. The board OF di-
rectors may meet weekly and pass upon
loans without pay for themselves.
The security feature is the key to this
whole business A borrower. say, wants
to start a grocery store at a point where
a demand for IL exists. He applies for
the capital at this bank, having no capi-
tai of his own. To the directors he proves
himself to be thoroughly acquainted with
the retail grocery business, and proves
himself by his record to be honest, in
dustrious, and above all. well intention
ed and reasonably c-2able. He asks say.
a 500 loan. and 500 a little later. The
directors tell him to get three indors-
ers, or even two in worthy cases. of men
In as good standing as himself. but not
necessarily having any more means of
their own than has the borrower. The
borrower gets those three endorsers who
may appear before the directors or be
seen by a committee OF the directors who
call on them. All being satisfied, the
loan of 5000 is made. The directors
then delegate. say. three members of the
bank living near the borrower, to keep
an eye on the business affairs of that bor-
rover. They do this without espionage
or meddlesomeness. solely in behalf of
the banks security, and encouraging the
borrower. The borrower knows them and
the duty they have assumed, and he
borrows with that understanding. Those
three members consume no particular
time in that duty, at odd moments they
look around. have a few words perhaps
with the borrowers customers and with
those who sell him goods. and report to
the bank directors the moment anything
out of the way occurs.
, In summary, the foregoing in foreign
lands shows an average loss of less than
one-seventh of one per cent on the total
amount such a bank loans per annum.
Also, that the depostors In such a bank
get from ten to a much higher rate Of
interest o their deposits, 1t varying with
the earnings.

CONTRACT FOR NEW
BUSINESS BUILDING
Boyle-Robertson Company Will Erect
National Savings and Trust
COMPANY Structure.

The National Savings and Trust Com.
pany yesterday awarded the contract for
the construction of their new building

On New York avenue it will extend be-
yOnd its present limits, the total avenue
side measuring 1l5 feet. The Fifteenth
street side measures 10 feet. The build

and retail traffic of general trade. the
transportation interests, and every other
branch of general industry. And do all
that by one OF the simplest and fully
proved methods Of small banking-but
enormous in the aggregate. known to
man.
The principle of the whole thing at
Its foundation is this: A group of men
or women with or without means or cap
itaI meet and agree to establish a small
mutual bank somewhat after the pattern
of our local building and loan associa-
tions. but with the following very large
AMI important difference. namely: In
stead of requiring mortgages or any form
of collateral or property to be put up
with said bank as security for a loan.
promissory notes alone are substituted,
after the manner of our national banks.
Abroad, as well as in the United
States, ample experience has taught
bankers who are fully acquainted with
the security, in the long run, of promis-
sorry notes, when compared with the Sc
curity of first mortgages or any other
form of collateral security, to be the
best, the safest, the most liquid" the
most easily convertible into cash. the
most easily and by far the least cost
for transferable purposes. and In all gen.
eral ways the easiest and quickest 10
handle, and above all, subject, in the
long run. TO the least loss.
Our new currency law is founded upon
those Just stated facts, facts which are
not theories; instead, are the best eX-
perience of the whole business world.
Confined to Large Business.
The national bank managements well
understand that, but their business is
confined to large business only; they
are not situated to aid the masses OF
the people, as is here proposed. nor do
they want to. Yet. in point of fact, the
aggregated business possible to the Amer
lean plain people is far greater today
than the total volume of all our national
banks put together. as is fully shown
by the total volume Of the colossal busi-
ness now done annually by the same class
of banks today in foreign lands.
When a group of men and women OF
standing-in point Of integrity and honest
intent-meet as above suggested, in order
to establish a small mutual bank. they
may adopt the usual formalit1es. and an
nounce that their bank is open for de-
posits and loans, but without obligating
themselves in any way to pay any spect-
fed rate of interest on deposits. 1t being
a mutual bank. all profits go to members

Building News and Gossip
NEW INVENTION WORKS
SWEEPING REVOLUTION
Patented Wall Boards Make the Task
of the Home Builder an
Easier One.

No one phase of home building has
greater importance than the manner in
which the interior is decorated 1t is a
real pleasure to so into nome where
the owner has exercised the same care
in his selection of his wall coverings and
hardwood effects as he has in supervising
the details of the exterior.
In recent years a great evolution has
occurred in the matter of interior
decorating and economy that has prac-
t.cally made the old-time method OBJ
solete. The invention. for instance. of the
patented wall boards. has made il pos
sible now for the home builder, not only
to increase the artistic effects of the in
terror decorating but to be able to do
the work himself il he so desires.
Rooms finished with these wall boards
are warm, coy, and beautiful. One of
the great advantages is the saving of
about one-haIf of the cost of lath and
plaster in the construction.
