Washington, Dec. 16. - Representa-

house the failure Of the treasury de-
partment to abolish the independent
treasures or sub-treasuries and utilize
the reserve banks to replace them. He
pointed out that altho it was conceded
$500, 900 could be saved no steps in
that direction had been taken in the
legislative bill for the next year. He
quoted from testimony by Assistant

BRONCHIAL COUGHS

When the bronchial tubes are af-
fected with that weakening, tickling
cough, they need immediate and sem
ssibIe treatment. The breath seems
shorter because Of mucous obstruc-
tons; usually fever is present and
your head jars with every cough.
Your chest aches and the infamma-
ition often spreads to the lungs.
The food-tonic that has proven its
worth for forty years-is SCOTS Emul-
sion. It drives out the cold, which
is the root Of the trouble; and checks
the. cough by aiding the healing
process Of the enfeebled membranes.

You'd words Tuesday afternoon when
word was received from Ed Johns at
Inwood saying that the body which
was found along the track few miles
from Inwood was that of his son Lester.
How he met his death is not known.
Lester was the 15-year-old son OF
Ed and Emma Johns, living one mile
south of Abbott. At the present time
no arrangements have been made for
the funeral. Lester ran away from

A Russelrs railway guide was the
clue which led the Milwaukee railroad
officials to look at Abbott for a miss
ing man. They figure the body was
that of man of about 25 which the
father says is easily accountable since
the boy was large for his age. On the
back of the railway guide was nota-

said he was going to Steamboat Rock
to buy some school books. This was
the last seen of him by his parents. The

his parents thinking he was staying

Vice Admiral Sir Frederick Charles
Devotion Sturdee. commander in chief
of the British squadron which has
crushed the German fleet near the
Falkland islands is a veteran OF the
Egyptian campaign of thirty-two years
ago and considered one of the ablest
officers in the royal British navy. I'm
til a few years ago he WAS assistant
director of the important naval intelli-
gence department of the admiralty a.
Whitehall, London. His rise to COM
mander Of the second cruiser squad
ron, to which post he was appointed In
1912, was rapid. Vice Admiral Stur-
dee was born on June 9. 1883. He en-
tered the navy in 1871, and his first
important war service was In the ia
nous Egyptian campaign Of 1882, as
q result of which he wears the Egyp-
tan medal. with the Alexandria clasp.
for his services in the British bonn
bardment Of Alexandria, and for the
same service he wears the khedives
big star.
Almirad Count Won Spec. the COM
mander of the German cruisers In the
engagement with the British squadron,
was noted as naval strategist and
was said to have played an important
part in drawing up the German naval
plans which went into effect auto
matically at the outbreak OF the war
and enabled German cruisers which
were widely scattered over the Pa
cific to come together in spite Of the
fact that their communication with
Berlin had been cut off and 1t was i'm
possible for their commanders to re-
ceive orders from headquarters. The
carrying out Of this plan made it pos
sible for the second cruiser squadron
consisting of the Scharnhorst. Gniese-
anu, Dresden. Nurnberg and LeipsiZ.
under the command of Won Spec, to
meet and defeat the British squadron,
consisting of the cruisers Monmouth.

In number of places where there

has come up, also, as to what will hap
pen when a boy under IA is refused
admission to the schools for smoking
and the truant officer reports him as

'thorities is that the boy becomes a
delinquent at once, because of being
a persistent violator of the law, and
the state has made ample provision
for caring for .delinquents.

$40 in money on his person. What be-

some of it or perhaps all was used in

The reason for the boys leaving

SLIDE TO FAME
BY THEIR TEETH

The act presented by the Curzon
sisters is unlike anything ever seen.
and 1t Is by far the most effective and
sensational number shown at the Lyric
theater since it opened. Their work
Is all performed high above the stage,
supporting them by their teeth alone.
They swing in wide circles, whirl about
in dizzy mazes, and finish their act
with a skirt dance" and flying
through the air. The audience stood
aghast at their daring. and their sue
cess was sensational and immediate.
The presentation of the most mystify-
ing piece of stage-craft ever seen in
this country was an especially note
worthy feature OF the spectacle. and the
appearance of the Curzon sisters in
the program created sensation sell
dom equaled under like circum-
stances. The act of these daring
young women and the development of
the tank mystery w2li be the most
talked about feature of the new show.
This matchless vaudeville act will be
seen at the Lyric this afternoon and
tonight.

parts of Europe in which the war has
not shut off access to the sea Already
there are repcrts of increasing ship
ments OF cotton both to England and
to the continent and 1t should be
borne in mind that the war itself will
give rise to an increasing demand for

w,t.... Absent, coAe. Case Continued.


The absence from the city Of Cora
Padgett who, according to police in
formation. has returned to her home in
Basic City, yesterday morning caused
Justice Henry A. Maurice. Of Police
court. part II. to continue until 0c-
tober s. the case of Mrs. Clarke Cohen,
who Ia charged with conducting a
disorderly house on Spring Hill. and
10 additionally charged with transport
ing Cora Padgett from her home In
Basic City to Richmond for immoral
purposes.
The Padgett girl was an inmate Of
tho home Of Mrs. Cohen on Spring Hill
at the time the girl shot herself. It
was at 1rst thought that the girl
had severe wound and that the shot
would result fatally but the case
proved a most unusual one and she
recovered. The trial of the woman has
been continued twice because Of the
inability Of the Padgett girl to attend
court. Mrs. Cohen was granted bail
in the sum Ut $1,000.
