Evidently Intends to Force
Ship Legisla-

| MIGHT CALL
EXTRA SESSION
Plans to Start March 5 for
the Panama Expo
sition

Washington, Jan. 6.--President Will
son declined to say specifically yesterday
that he would call an extra session of
Congress if the ship purchase bill failed
DUNG the present session, but callers
who talked with him on the subject were
impressed with the presidents determi-
nation to pass the measure. Mr.. Wilson
said he would support a rural credits
bill if members Of Congress could agree
on one, but he would not call extra ses-
sion for that. He added that he was
making all his arrangements to leave
Washington on March 5 for the Panama
canal and the San Francisco exposition
on the expectation that there would be
no extra session of Congress. Presi-
dent Wilson told callers his Jackson
day speech at indianapolis on Friday
would be political in character. He re-
fused to outline it, but it is generally
he will review the record
of the administration. He also told
callers there was no truth in reports
that he was personally directing the
inquiry into the passport investigation
in New York as result of which some
German reseryists have been arrested.
lie said the matter had been called to
his attention in a routine way.

q Gates, points out that the national
commission dominates the American and
National leagues, "but not the Federal
league"
Through domination of these two
leagues, the petition explains, the ma
tonal commission has under its domino
ton and control all but 800, or approx
mately 10000 professional baseball
players of varying degrees of expert
ness"
The 800 are under contract to the
Federal league.
1t is explained that "at all times here
tofore the supply of expert baseball
players has been unequal to the demand
OF the various major leagues" and that
such demand must be supplied from min
or league ranks. Under the national
agreement. the plaintiff asserts, players
in the minor leagues are dominated by
The national commission by alleged con
tracts which prevent the Federal league
from having access to this supply of
young players"

URIC ACID IN MEAT
BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says Little Salts in Water May Save
You from Dread At
tack

Rheumatism is easier 30 avoid than to
cure, states q well-known authority. We
are advised TO dress warmly; keep the
feet dry; avoid exposures eat less meat,
but drink plenty Of good water,
rheumatism is a direct result OF eat.
ing too much meat and other rich foods
that produce uric acid, which is absorbed
into the blood. II il the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the blood
and cast il out in the urine; the pores Of
the skin are also means of freeing the
blood of this impurity. In damp and
chilly cold weather, the skin pores are
closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do
double work; they become weak and
sluggish and fail to eliminate the uric
acid, which keeps accommodating and cir
culating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles, caus-
ing stiffness, soreness and pain called
rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism get
from any pharmacy about four ounces of
Jad Salts; put tablespoonful in glass
of water and drink before breakfast each
morning for a week This is said to
eliminate uric acid by stimulating the
kidneys to normal action, thus Kidding
the blood of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is used with excellent results by thou
sands of folks who are subject to rheu-
matism. Here you have pleasant, eff
fervescent lithia- water drink, which
helps overcome uric acid and is bene-
fetal to your kidneys as well--Advt.

B. & NJ. STOCK DROPS
TO II, LOWEST LEVEL
Slump Revives Rumor of Receivership =
Hearing on the New Rates Before
Public Service Commits
sion To-day.

| Boston, Jan. 6.--The price of Boston &
Maine stock yesterday dropped to the
| lowest level in the history of the road
Up to o'clock the low mark was ~.
The slump was the main topic of con.
versation on the street, and many ru'
mors resulted. Nothing definite could be
learned from any source up to midafter.
noon. The gossip, however, revived tho
talk Of reeeivership.
The only statement chat appeared ia
be close to the real state of affairs came
from member Of the public service
commission. He said the hearing on the
b. & Ms proposed new rates would 60
on before the commission to-day as
scheduled. and at that time officials Of
the road might" announce the outline
OF new plan for reorganization. The
commissioner secuted the idea of re-
Ownership.
Necessity for some revamping OF the
Boston a Maine situation has been dis.
cussed for some time. In the last fiscal
year. ended June 30 last, the road failed
to earn its fixed charges, by S2.044.0O0.
This year business i'm the territory
served has not been good, and both gross
and net earnings have fallen behind last
year. Up to the end OF November the
Eve months of the current fiscal year
showed net earnings Sl7s,000 less than
in the corresponding period OF 1918.
II was said, therefore, that in spite
OF any economies that may be inaugu.
rated, it is too much TO expect Boston
q Maine TO go through this year earn
ing its fixed charges.
That situation is said to have resulte
in the reorganization step shortly to be
taken by the board of directors.

Qualification of Cargoes Is
Ordered by the Treas
ury Department
CERTIFICATES BY
AMERICAN OFFICIALS
Expected to Obviate Delay
in Trade Which Result
ed in Protest

Washington, Jan. 6.The United
States, apparently, has effectively ad-
iusted the difficulty in the matter OF the
delay Of American shipping to European
ports which called forth the note OF pro-
test to Great Britain. This has been &C.
complished through the treasury depart
ment's device for certifying to the con.
tents of all cargoes which leave American
ports, the certificates to be countersigned
by treasury department officials. At the
same time Assistant Secretary Peters OF
the department is careful to explain
that this is in no sense a surrender to
England, which, he intimates, has become
somewhat "hysterical" over the alleged
classification of manifests. AT any rate,
without a movement on the part OF the
power to whom the protest was direct
ed, and through the initiative OF the pow
en- making the protest, the affair has been
settled During the entire discussion
Great Britain has made it quite plain
that she is acting not for herself alone,
but for the allies as a whole.
Chairman Flood of the House foreign
affairs committee has pointed out to
those advocating the prohibition of the
export of arms to belligerents the fact
that such prohibition has not been asked
by, nor is expected by, Germany. This
statement was made Yesterday to Rep
resentative Bartholdt of Missouri, who
has been among the most active of the
proponents of this legislation Congress
man Flood further pointed out that
Great Britain had spent millions in eff
focting control Of the sea, for the very
purpose of securing arms and munitions
for herself and shutting off such supplies
from her enemies. Such legislation as
Mr. Barthodt and Others are putting
forward would work solely to the ad-
vantage Of Germany, said Mr.. Flood, and
asked if the United States would not be
committing an unneutral act in prevent
ing traffic recognized for 100 years as
right of our citizens
