LONDON, Jan. 26.-Investigat:cu
of the shipment Of first class mail
which was seized by d British cruiser

tilitics
Fiat the people of Germany are
seeking to win the sympeshy Of the

fest hy their willingness to pay first
class pct tage on "anti-British 'itera-
ture. In the mail taken from the
Swed sh steamer more than q ton OF
literature which was printed in vari-
GUS languages was found and shows
that an intense hatred of England
and all things British exists in Ger
many.
!. The value of the mail from mill
tary view point is said to have been
equaled only by that of the shipment
seized and taken from the Ford peace
ship Oscar II, when more than four
thousand pounds of rubber were
found in the mails. The contraband
had been sent by Teutonic agents to
a we'll known Swedish dealer who has
been acting for the German manufac-

STOCKHOLM, Jan. 26.-One OF
Henry Ford's private secretaries who
remained here after his chief had re-
turned home, In order to finance the

The Walker building was located
below Yesler Way and was one Of tho

The fire gained great headway be-
fore being discovered and the flames
were breaking through the windows
of the upper stories before the de-

Numerous inquiries have been re-

blocked by the recent heavy wind

the residents OF Cordova are reticent
in sending out reports when, traffic
lis blocked on the line. It Is believed
however that the road has been block

Should the railroad become stalled
at this time it would work hard

rior Alaska as every steamer coming

PINE BLUFF LOSES
CHANCE GET OPERA

Lack of an auditorium or even a
theatre in Pine Bluff forced Secretary
E. B. Bloom of the chamber of COM
merce to inform the passenger de-
partment of the Iron Mountain rail-
road that this city is not in position
to consider an engagement here for
the Boston English Opera company.
Mr.. Bloom received a telegram from
the railroad officials at st. Louis,
stating that the opera company, which
is one of the best known organizations
in the country, will be in this section
in November and has open dates be-
tween Nov. Is and II.
"This is another indication of
what Pine Bluff could do if we had an
auditorium here" said Mr.. Bloom yes
terday. "This company is high class
organization, and 7 feel sure our peo-
ple, in this city and the surrounding
country, would have enjoyed such a
treat, but as it is, we are absolutely
unable to stage any such entertain
ments.'
In his talk at the annual smoker
of the chamber of commerce Tuesday
night, Mr.. Bloom stressed the need
Of agitation by the chamber of COM
merce for an sIditoium, as we'll as
for public library building and for
city parks. These things are all nee
essary to city of the Importance and
! wealth of Pine Bluff, and unless they
are arranged for in the comparative
ly near future, they will cost just so
much mere when they are eventually
obtained, in the coming years.

SPECIAL AUDIT
CLEARS OFFICERS
OF ALL SUSPICION
Leaders of Tennessee Labor
Circles Have Clash in Con-
vention at Memphis.

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 21.-Intima-
tons made during debate today be-
fore the Southern Labor congress, in
session here, which Jerome Jones,
president of the congress, and w. c..
Pickett, it's secretary-treasurcr, in
terpreted as questioning their lnteg-
rity, were declared without founda-
ton by special committee, which
made public it's report tonight.
The committee, which will report
formally tomorrow, held that the Of
fetal conduct of both officers was
blameless and asserted that any sug-
gestion to the contrary was unwar-
ranted and without foundation in
fact.
The controversy arose over reso-
luton that only authorized agents be
permitted 10 solicit advertisements
for the yearbook of the organization.
During the discussion of the resolu-
ton, George Kennedy, president Of
the Tennessee Federation of Labor,
asked for an accounting of about &c.
900. His remarks brought both Jones
and Pickett to their feet, with de-
mands for an immediate special audit
of the accounts and finances in Their
charge.
w. S. Weir, vice president of the
congress, to whom Jones had surren-
dered the chair, put an end to rather
acrimonious debate by appointing
the committee, as demanded by the
two officials. -
Resolutions adopted today endorsed
the Adamson eight hour day law, OPP
posed compulsory arbitration in set
Element of labor disputes, declared
for compulsory education and free
text books, and urged the states to
enact 'anti-injunction" laws to pre-
vent use of the injunction as means
of breaking strikes.

next meeting place selected tomor-
row.

We are so used to thinking of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as
a remedy exclusively for female ills that
we are apt to overlook the fact that it
is one of the best remedies for disorders
Of the stomach.
For stomach trouble of women it is
especially adapted, as it works in COM
plete harmony with the female organ
ism, since it contains the extracts of the
best tonic roots and herbs. 1t tones up
the digestive system, and increases the
appetite and strength. Here is what
one woman writes showing what this
medicine does:-
Newfield, N. Y.--"I am so pleased
to say can recommend Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound as an eco
nomical and beneficial remedy in most
ailments pertaining to women. At
least I found it SO by only taking two
bottles. l had indigestion in bad
form and I am now feeling in the best
CT health and owe it all to Lydia E.
