LAF0LLETTE BACKS
UP SEAMEN'SL LAW
Declares Insidious Power Works
to Defame Safety Measure.
Strong Indictment.

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 21.-Practi-
cally on the eve of the date when the
Seamen's law which bears his name
is to become effective, Senator La Fol-
lette today issued a long statement
characterizing the campaign being
waged against the law as a ''combina-
ton Of ignorance and dishonesty"
THE same power which organized
the press of the country to force from
the interstate commerce commission a
decision favorabl to the railroads in
the one hundred million dollar ad-
vance rate case, is behind the nation
wide newspaper raid on the Seamen's
law" says Senator La Toilette in a
long editorial statement today. "The
same same motivB and the same
selfish interest has inspired both at
tacks. The same power which con-
trolls transportation by land controls
transportation by water. In: the ad
vance rate case, its literary bureau
printed thousands of pages Of dope
news articles and editorial comment
in the leading dailies, the great week
lies, and the monthly magazines: Its
victory in that case encouraged it to
undertake the building up Of . a false
public sentiment against the Seamen' s
law, intended to intimidate President
Wilson and stampede congress into
modifying or repeating the statute al
together"
Senator La Toilette explains in de-
tail every provision Of the law and de-
clares it is to protect the lives of
people, He tells of the many years
that have passed during which this
Legislation has beens urged and adds
that the failure of President Taft to
sign the bill after it had passed both
houses of the sixty -second congress
"was one of the most indefensible
acts of his unfortunate administra-
tiOn."
1.-THE opposition to sthis measure is
a. combination Of ignorance and dis
honesty" declares Senator La Toilette
in conclusion. Its defeat session after
session, by the steamship companies,
aided by the corporation press of the
country. has been the cause of many
horrifying disasters at sea and on the
Great Lakes. The effort to repeal it,
involving as it does a great. majority
of the newspapers and periodicals Of
the country is a shame and a re-
proach to the American press"

SANTA ROSA, CAL, Oct. 21.-In a
speech before the California state fed
GRAFTON of. labor convention, Congress-
man Kent made this declaration:
II will never stand for the repeal of
the seamen's act. 1t may be neces-
sary for us to have a. merchant ma
rine, but would rather see the AM

the ocean than to have merchant
marine Of great magnitude where the
men employed are treated like slaves.

against peonage, slavery and abuse
and affords greater safety for those
who travel the SEAS

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look years youngerl Use Grand
mothers recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur and nobody will know.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded. gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark. glossy and abundant. Whenever
her hair fell out or took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this sim.
pie mixture was applied with wonderful
effect
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays by asking at
any drug store for a 50-ccnt bottle OF
~Wyeth's Sage and sulphur Compound
Won viii get this famous old recipe
which can be depended upon TO restore
natural color and beauty to the hair and
is splendid for dandrnf, dry, feverish'
itchy scalp and falling hair.
A we'll known downtown druggist SAYS
il darkens the hair so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied You simply dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through YOUR hair. taking one strand at
a time. BY morning the gray hair dis
sppears. and after another application or
two il becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
and abundant.

Gem Never Fails.

The old, reliable Gem never lags.
Pollard just sits around feeling good
up things and--he gets them.
A wonderful feature reel was The
Fear Within" but it was beaten by
1.-THE Whirling Disk" Sunday. Cleo
Madison furnished the central dope for
scenes having to do with electro
hypnosis. But the startling feature
was the photography. Local photo
graphers should have seen it. Fading
coloraturas are common at edges of
reels, but three reels presented made
the fade" without snipping( resetting
or doubling in the center of the screen,
changing dog into man in Cleo's arms.
The Gem has Nestor comedy booked
for Monday, with "The Ladder OF
Fortune" the central card. Tuesday
the BLACK Box" with all its thrilling
mystery is the chief booking with a
strong line of comedy on the side.
From now on there is liberal educa-
tion in the BLACK Box" 1t takes the
auditor into places which he wants tc
know about and at points blue prints
are shown. The mounting of this
photoplay is the most satisfactory OF
all serials. The auditor is never at q
loss as to the situations If confused
in one scene he is enlightened in the
third scene following. Therefore, one
can see the Box" at any point and

CUPID'S NUPTIAL PLANS
 BALKED BY HOLDUP
(From Fridays Daily.)

Los Angeles papers arriving yester- day contained an account of the hold up and robbery of w. A. Gaibraith in Los Angeles Tuesday night, while on his way to wed fascinating young lady at Porterville, Cal. The press account says:
 "W. A. Galbraith, a miner from Arizona, was held up and robbed Tuesday night at Fifth and Stanford streets as he was walking toward the Arcade station. He made a report to this effect to the police station, and gave clear account of the affair. He was walking along with a suitcase in his hand when a man with a red handkerchief over his face suddenly stepped out of doorway with re- volver in his hand, that was placed against his stomach, and under threats compelled him to step inside, where 1t was dark. Helpless in the dark ness of the hallway, Galbraith said he was robbed of $75 in cash, his gold watch, suitcase, and all wedding fin cry therein, including diamond ring for the bride. He was completely stripped of all valuables."
 Galbraith has interests in the south western part of this county, as we'll has he worked at different camps, be- ing quite well known and popular.

HAS JOHN SILSBEE'S
 BODY BEEN FOUND:
(From Fridays BaiIYl


 Leonard Stephens, who had been prospecting with others miners oi Bisbee in the country adjacent to tne old Roark ranch on the lower Has sayampa, is in the city and relates an Incident which occurred about three weeks ago, when two MeXicans reached his camp and imparted in- formation of having found the skele' ion of human being that had evi- dently been washed onto the sand banks of that stream.
 The skull, both limbs and one arm were found, all within a few feet of each other. The only possible iden- ,ihcation was that three lower teeth had been filled with silver anlalgari, and the second finger of the hand had been amputated. The remains were unquestionably those of vic tim of the Walnut Grove dam disaster of February 22, 1890, when over 70 lives were lost, 6 of whom were re- covered and buried at different places in high ground adjacent to the river. At least five men who were lost, were never found, and among the more prominently known was John Silsbee. It is now believed the remains found arc his, through the dental work prov ing his identity.
