FISHING INDUSTRY.
Tn New Foundland Idkcly to Be Re-
 organized.

St. Johns, N. F., May 13.-A re- organization of the fishing industry. which forms the mainstay of this col- ony, is believed in we'll informed quar- ters to be forecasted in the introduc- ton in the legislature for government control of the price of fish caught off the Labrador coast. The bill, intro- duced by a member of the Fisher mans Union, which has become an important political factor, provides for the creation of a board of three men to fix what is known as the Cur rent price" on the basis of which contracts are formed between the merchants and the fishermen. Many of the fishermen have complained that under present methods the price has been fixed too low to afford them fair pay for their work.
 Fishery outfatting merchants in this city, who formerly controlled the in dustry, have gradually been relinquisf- ]. ing it to small merchants at the prin- cipal fishing .centers. It is thought that ,the present agitation points to Ia further change in the system where by. the fishermen themselves will in time assume entire charge of all branches of the work, including out fitting and marketing.

6. Q. p. NEEDED HIM
 TO ATTACK WILSON
hutchinson Testlfes Roosevelt Made
 Remark iH HaVad Club.

Syracuse, N. r., May 13.-A witness for William Barnes swore in the su- preme court here today that less than a year ago Theodore Roosevelt agreed that the republican party needed him and said that he would "go after President Wilson with his Pittsburg speech and on the foreign treaties and tear him to pieces" Then, de- clared the witness. the former pres ident asserted that after what had happened at Chicago in 1912, the re- publican party was not big enough to hold him and MT. Barnes.
 The witness was John W. Hutchin- son, New York lawyer, and chair man of the speakers bureau of tho republican state committee from 1908 until 1912.
 Contradicts Loeb's Statement.
 Mir. Hutchinson went uporf the witt ness stand after William J. Wool man, a New York broker, had con tradicted the statements made last week by William J. Loeb, private sec retary to Colonel Roosevelt when he was president. and later collector of the port of New York. MT. Loeb testified that he talked with MT. dt IT. 1911, when the state senate was dead locked over the selection of United States senator to succeed Chauncey M. Depew. Under oath he said he had talked to MT. Barnes about the deadlock and that MT. Barnes said he could do nothing at that time to end it. MT. Woolman said he had never seen MT. Loeb until November. aF< elected president
 The majority of the witnesses who preceded or followed Mir. woolman and MT. Hutchinson on the stand, gave testimony designed to show that MT. Barnes and Charles F. Murphy of Tammany Hall were not political allies at the time of the deadlock in the state legislature, in contradic- ton to the witnesses who testified for Colonel Roosevelt. Benjamin E. Odell, former governor and repub- lican leader of New York, and at one time member of congress. tes-' tified principally about the early po- litical career of MT. Barnes and com paign contributions.
 Col. Said G. o. P. Needed Him.
 MT. Hutchinson said he met Col onel Roosevelt by appointment in the Harvard club in New York on July Is, 1914.
 "I told him." he went on, that he was in way the whole progres- sive party. l said it did not make any material difference what the pro- gressive organization did in the way of nominating candidates. There was rumor that Colonel Roosevelt was considering running for governor in the fall. That's what I wanted to find out about. I told him that it would make a lot of difference if he took an active position Himself, and that if he were to oppose the re. publican organization it would simply widen chasnl and prevent a re- union of the party. He said that would not do and added: You have to have me. can go after Mir Wilson and tear him to pieces, and you have not anybody who can do it. I told him we would have to get together. By we, I meant the two factions of the republican party"

ARE THESE YOUR SYMPTOMS?

Do you find your breath bad in the morning, afbad taste in the mouth, . coated tongue, a mean feeling in the head?
 Constipation, which these symptoms denote, is dangerous because it means that poisonous materials which should have been expelled from the body are being retained. It is condition which, if not corrected, becomes chronic.
 The remedy is to stimulate the liver by the use of Pinklets, tho gentle laxative pills that do notgripe or purge but simply assist nature. Taken regularly for . time, they really do correct constipation.
