SENATE REJECTS THE
PROHIBITION RIDERS
The Proposed Amendment Fails to Re
ceive Even a Majority--Vote
is 40 to 81.

Washington, Jan. l9.-The Senate de-
feated yesterday, 40 to 3s, the motion
to suspend its rules for consideration
Of prohibition rider to the District OF
Columbia appropriation bill. A two
thirds majority was necessary to sus-
pend the rules prohibiting general leg
islation in appropriation bills, and the
motion failed to receive even a majority.
Debate has lasted five days.
After the vote, Senator Sheppard
stated that be would make no further
effort to press the prohibition issue in
connection with the District OF Column
bia bill, but would bring it up either
as separate measure or as an amend
ment to some other bill. Eighteen Re-
publican and nineteen Democratic sen
ators and one Progressive voted for the
motion TO suspend the rules. A resolu.
tion for committee of FIVE senators to
investigate charges by Senator Jones
that the excise board of the district had
not adhered TO the present liquor law

ted without debate.

In Wilson's Program--Ses-
sion Might Be Called

Washington, Jan. l9.-Extra session
talk still prevails, the general opinion
being that the president will call an ex.
ira session only if he fails to secure a
vote on the ship purchase bill, and that
the date of the session will be early
in the autumn, rather than in the spring
In spite of the slow program on the ap.
preparation bills, it is thought here that
if the DOGGY of a special session were
got out of the way, Congress would
"brace up" and run the supply leg1s-
lation through the hopper within record
time. A week would suffice to secure
the assent of Senate, House and con-
ferees to practically any reasonable sup
ply legislation, provided they were as.
sured OF a long vacation and summer
away from Washington. The oy)enjng
of the Pan-American exposition has
served to attract eyes away from Wash
ington during the spring. This fact, to-
gether with the natural opposition to
a special session, plus the feeling that
the country wants a rest, are the chief
sentimental factors in the situation. The

SALTS If KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu-
tralize Irritating
Acids

Kidney and bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
inflame, causing burning, scalding SEN
sation, or setting up an irritation at the
neck OF the bladder, obliging you to seek
relief two or three times during the
night. The sufferer is in constant dread,
the water passes sometimes with a scald-
ing sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in voiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call 1t,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
one OF the most simple ailments to over
come. Get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from your pharmacist and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast; continue this for two Oh three
days. This will neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer is source OF
irritation to the bladder and urinary or
gans, which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is
used by thousands of folks who are sub
ject to urinary disorders caused by uric
acid irritation. Jad Salts il splendid for
kidneys and causes no bad effects what
ever.
Here you have pleasant, effervescent,
Whitewater drink, which quickly relieves
bladder trouble.--Advt.

STILL SEEING MONEY TRUST.
Untermyer Discusses Big Business Dep
relations.

New York, Jan. l9.--Samuel Inter.
myer, testifying yesterday before the in
vestigation of the federal Industrial re-
lations commission into the great philan-
thropic institutions, asserted that the
shareholders in corporations that hay &c
been reorganized by banking interests
have absolutely no say in the manage
ment, the directors and trustees being
controlled by the banks, and that the
situation had narrowed down in railroad
matters until a question affecting labor
conditions could almost be decided from
one Office He stated further that the
"illicit gathering" of large amounts Of
money had caused much poverty, and
that the concentration of power and
capital was grossly unfair to labor. Tn
der such conditions he said the trade
and labor unions have no chance success
fully to combat the wishes of capital
AS remedial measures Mr.. Untermger
advocated the establishment of federal
labor exchanges, compulsory state regu-
lated assurances against sickness. acct
dent and unemployment, federal regt,-
lation of corporations controlling large
of capital and the abolition of
proxy voting by the representatives of
fnanciers desiring to dominate the in
dustries.
