SPLIT IN CABINET MAY RESULT
RIGGS BANK CASE MAY BE STUN
BLING BLOCK.
Cumulative Evidence Makes Suit Ap-
pear Like RaIIinger Case-Bran-
deIs May Withdraw.

Washington, April 27.-The Riggs
bank case promises TO be the great
stumbling block Of the administration.
If not that, then it will become
strong argument in favor of the pres
ent administrative power, with little
chance of it's becoming a neutral is
sue.
Those who see in it cause of advan-
tage to President Wilson compare 1t to
the fight which Andrew Jackson waged
with Nicholas Biddle over the national
bank while those who profess to see
in it cause Of disaster say it is more
comparable to the Ballinger case,
which was so fatal to the administra-
ton Of President Taft.
Resembles BaIiinqer Case.
While it would be rash to form a
judgment concerning the issues IN
volved until the case is heard in the
courts, there is cumulative evidence
which tends to make it appear more
like the Ballinger case than the other.
With it are rumors of a split within
the cabinet and considerable doubt as
to what attitude the president will
take. If he continues to support John
Shelton Williams in the case with the
full strength Of the administration,
and should the case go against the
comptroller then he will be in worse
position than was President Taft,
whose too great loyalty to Secretary
Ballinger caused him untold political
grief.
In spite Of rumors to the contrary,
it seems likely the president will do
so in effect, although unofficial denials
are made.
Embarrassing Feature.
An embarrassing feature of the case,
so far as the president is concerned in
his relationship with Comptroller Will
liams, is the fact that Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo appears to be as
much a party as is Comptroller Viii
liams. To refuse to support Comp.
troller Williams would be to admins
ter rebuke Of the strongest sort to
Secretary McAdoo. The secretary of
the treasury is not only exceptionally
close to the president politically, but
as his son-in-law occupies a position
which would make it difficult indeed
for the president to DO anything but
support him in any position he might
assume.
During the past few days there have
been various rumors of breaks and di-
vergencies Of opinion in administra'
tive circles. One of these rumors was
to the effect that Attorney Louis D.
Brandeis would withdraw from the
case. Mr.. Brandeis refused to COM
ment on this rumor, but it persisted.

COLONEL APPROVES
GIFTS TO CANPA|G
SAYS DONOR is PROMPTED BY
SAME SPIRIT AS CHURCH
CONTRIBUTOR.
IDENTIFIES MEMS INITIALS
Roosevelt, on Witness Stand, Recog-
nizes Contributors Names as Being
Connected With Country's Most
Powerful Financial interests.

Syracuse, n. Y, April 26.-Theodore
Roosevelt told, on the second day of
his cross -examinatfon, about his deal
ings with the bosses" his personal
relations with William Barnes and his
ideas about campaign funds Of mil
lions Of dollars.
He mentioned the famous half mil
lion dollars which Thomas Fortune Ry-
an contributed to the presidential
cause of Alton B. Parker and sWore
he had never seen a list Of the names
Of the persons who helped swell the
fund of 100000 used in connection
with his own campaign for the presi-
dency.
The list contained initials of men
whom the colonel readily identified as
being corrected with the country's
most powerful business and financial
interests.
No Hopes of Reward.
In speaking Of the Ryan contribu-
ton, the witness gave it as his opinion
that a leader of big business who con-
tributes half a million dollars to help
elect a candidate for president of the
United States is prompted by the same
spirit which would cause him to do
nate the same sum to church, and
that such a contributor has no more
hope of reward in one case than he
has in the other. Personally, he said,
he would have been much surprised
II managers OF big business had not
contributed to the Republican cam
paign of 1904.
The colonel mentioned the Standard
Oil company and campaign contribu-
tions, too. He said that If the report
of the congressional committee which
investigated his campaign contribu-
tions showed that H. H. R." and u.
D. A" which the witness thought
stood for H. H. Rogers and John D.
Archbold-had contributed to the Re-
publican funds in 1904-he was aston
ished. He said he had given explicit
instructions against receiving any
Standard Oil contributions.
Would Limit Campaign Fund.
Personally, he emphatically de-
clared, he would regard just as highly
a contribution of $25 from the station
agent at Oyster Bay as he would
contribution of $4,000 from George w.
Perkins, who in 1904 was partner in
the firm of ]. P. Morgan 6 Co., and
he expressed the belief that there was
a limit to the amount a campaign
fund should total. Over certain sum
he did not know how much-he
thought that there might be some
danger.
Colonel Roosevelt said he regarded
William Barnes as a Doctor Jekyll
and Mr.. HYDE" who, like other poll
ticians, had his good and his bad
Sides" He said he had been per-
sistent in his efforts to make politi-
clans do what he considered was right
and that instead of endeavoring to
severe the ligaments between these
"Siamese twins Of politics." his aim
had always been to have the Doctor
Jeky1P' in them absorb the Mr..
Hyde"

STEP TAKEN AFTER PROBE BY
EXPERTS SHOWS MANY UN-
coLLEcTiRLE ACCOUNTS.
SUFFRAGE BILL VOTED DOWN
Assembly Defeats Measure Similar TO
One Passed by Legislature es
1913 and Vetoed by
Gov. McGoVern.
Madison, April %, 1915.

The sale of binder twine by the Wis
consin state prison has been stopped
by Gov. E. l.. Philip following an in
vestigation of the affairs OF the plant
by experts commanded by the COVER
nor. Also, the installation OF $4,000
worth of secondhand machinery and
the payments upon the purchase price
have been held up as further step
toward protecting the state against a
possible financial loss. 1t is claimed
this machinery is obsolete and III bad
condition.
The action by the governor was tax
en- at the conclusion of the hearing be-
fore the legislative investigating COM
mittee in the governors office, which
was attended by members OF the board
of control and several members OF the
legislature.
At this hearing the reports Of in
vestigators employed by the governor,
were submitted showing upwards OF
$4,000 on the books of the twlne plant
of which about SO per cent is consider
ed uncollectible. The governors posi-
ton IS that no more Irvine should be
sold until a credit system is estab-
lished which will protect the state.
Assembly Kills Suffrage Bill.
The assembly killed, 40 to Al, the
woman suffrage bill, after two hours
of lively debate. The bill directed sub
mission of the question Of equal suf-
frage for women to vote of the peo-
pie in 1916. In effect it was similar
TO the bill defeated at the polls four
years ago, and to the one passed by
the legislature in 1919 and vetoed by
Gov. McGovern.
Education Board Repeal Loses.
The senate committee on educa-
ton and public welfare voted 4 to 3
for indefinite p0stp0nement of the
Burke bill for the repeal Of the law
creating county boards of education,
passed by the 1913 legislature. The
Burke bill, which was one Of the
leading administration measures,
raised d storm of protest from educa-
tional circles when up for hearing
in February.
c. <. Patzer Of Milwaukee normal
school led the opposition at the nu-
merous hearings. AS result on Feb.
Is an investigation was threatened,
into the right of the normal regents
TO use a person hired as a teacher to
lobby for or against bills.
The vote OF the committee on the
Burke repeal bill was Senators Ed
ward Ackley, r. w. Monk, A r.
Potts and d. V. Jennings for indie
finite postponement and Senators NJ.
w Perry, W. w. Albers and George
Staudenmayer for the passage of the
repeal.
1t is said that the report of the
committee vote will not be made to
the legislature as an effort will be
made TO secure a reconsideration and
change in the vote. A hot fight on
the floor Of the senate is certain.

When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours. tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full OF sediment, channels Of
ten get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
tions to clean and stimulate sluggish
kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the
urine SO 1t no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is delightful, effer-
