the passions. The trouble with most
people is that their liver becomes black
because of impurities in the blood due
to bad physical states, causing bilious

patton. DR.. Kings New Life Pills
will clean up the liver and give you
new life. 25c at your druggist. -

M'ADOO REPLIES TO CHARGES
Secretary Files Affidavit Declaring Allegations Are False and
 Libelous.

Washington, May 1.-The govern ment filed in the district supreme court a redhot answer to the con spiracy charge made by the Riggs Ma tional bank of Washington against Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, Comptroller of the Currency Williams and United States Treasurer Burke.
 McAdoo declares he has not "con- spired' with the comptroller as al legged, nor with anybody else, and he charges that his inclusion in the suit is due to "ulterior and improper mo- tives" resorted to for the purpose of tutoring grossly false and hbelous statements under the protection of ju- dicial forms"
 Shortly after he became secretary, he says, he was advised of close rela- tions between the Riggs National bank and the National City bank of New York and hear drumors of favor itism shown those banks by the treas ury department He said he found that a woman clerk employed by the Riggs bank and the National City bank jointly had desk in the comp troller's office and was given facili- ties for getting information concern ing national banks reports He is sued an order, he said stopping this.

GERMAN SPOKESMAN WHO TRIED TO JUSTIFY SINKING OF LUSI-
 TANlA YIELDS TO FRIENDS.
CUBA MAY BE HIS DESTINATION
Official Only Partly AiIayed Feel ing-WiIl Depart In a Short
 Time, 1t Is Announced.

Washington, May 17.-Dr. Bernhard Dernburg, often referred to as the un- official spokesman of Emperor Will liam in the United States, has made plans to leave the country of his own initiative, within a short time.
 It became known in official quar- ters here that in view of the intima- tions that President Wilson and the cabinet were displeased with Dr. Dernburgs speech justifying the sink ing of the Lusitania and some of his other utterances, which they believed might be calculated to array senti- ment of Germans in the United States against the Washington government, friends of Dr. Dernburg here have per suaded him to leave the United States.
 Just when Dr. Dernburg would de- part or where he would go was not made known, but it was believed he would sail for Cuba or South America.
 Dr. Dernburg's activity in the United States since the beginning of the war has been closely observed by the pres ident and other high officials here who came to believe in the last week that a continuation of his speeches and statements might in the event of a critical turn in relations with Ger many, menace the domestic welfare of America.
 It has been repeatedly denied by the German embassy, as well as by Dr. Dernburg himself, that he was a spokesman for the German govern ment or that he had any official stat us. In view however, of the fact tsat Dr. Dernburg was formerly colonial secretary in the German foreign of flee and has become prominently ac- tive in behalf of the German cause since the outbreak Of the war, of ficials here believe that German-Amer- jeans attach official weight to his ut terances.
 Dr. Dernburg himself issued a state ment declaring he had never dis cussed matters that had arisen diplo- matically between the United States and Germany. Officials here made no comment on that beyond pointing to Dr. Dernburg's utterances in Cleve- land and New York recently seeking to justify the attack on the Lusttania.
