WILSON WINS FOR HOOVER
The President Also Refused to Be
Hampered by a Congressional
Committee on War Ex-
penditures.

Washington. July 3o.-Conferees
on the Food Control Bill late today
agreed to President Wilson's demand
for one food administrator instead of
a board of three. as proposed by the
Senate. The individual administrators
will not be subject to confirmation.
He has announced he will appoint
Herbert G. Hoover
President Wilson also has declared
again his opposition to amendments
to the Food Control Bill providing
for the creation of a congressional
committee on expenditures in the
conduct of the war.
The Presidents position was made
clear today to Senator Chamberlain,
one of the conferees on the bill. The
President considers the committee on
conduct of the war a reflection on
himself and insisted there can be no
question of the greater value of an
individual food administrator over an
administrative board of three.
Senator Chamberlain left the White
House convinced that unless the con-
ferees eliminate those provisions the
bill must go back TO the Senate and
House for further action. The pos
sibility that the President might veto
the measure if they were left in it
was widely discussed in Congress.
After shearing Of the Presidents
position some of the Senate con
ferees believed it possible that they
would yield on the food administra-
tion board and adopt the House plan
for an individual administrator, but
did not believe the Senate members
would yield on the congressional
committee.

Court Upholds Unwritten Law.

Atlanta, Ga, July 28.-The "un-
written law" has been given standing
in court Of justice and recognized
from the hench as justifiable cause
for homicide
In the trial OF George Gowan,
charged with the Staying of Herbert
Jones, Judge Ben Hill in his charge
to the. jury. dealt at length on the
"unwritten law" plea by the young
slayer, in which he held that Gowan
would be guilty of murder if he had
slain Jones as a matter Of revenge
because of past attentions to Mrs.
Gowan, but that he would be CON
sidered justified and should be ac-
quilted if Jones was continuing these
attentions at the time of the tragedy
and Gowan had resorted to the pistol
to prevent their continuance.
'"Gowan would have had no right
to kill Jones as a mere matter of re-
venge. merely to appease his rage be-
cause of past acts of misconduct on
the part Of Jones, no matter how bad
they might have been," explained
Judge Hill. "If it should be shown,
however. that Jones was persisting
in his attentions to Gowan's wife,
and that Gowan slew him to end this
conduct, then the slayer would be
acting within his rights, and should
be acquitted" Gowan was acquitted

Bates County Wins.

County Clerk Frank Holland.
County Highway Engineer J. Flam-
mang, and County Judges Campbell
and Reeder, returned Tuesday from
Harrisonville where they had been as
witnesses before the Cass County
circuit court in the case OF the Bates
and Cass County Drainage District
against Bates county.
On account of the supposed bene-
fit to the public roads in Deer Creek,
Grand River and Mingo townships,
in the north part of the county, the
district had assessed against Bates
county the sum of $500. They had
also assessed againt the county $1,000
the estimated cost of bridges made
necessary by the ditch in these town
ships. Bates county contended that
Bates county was not liable for the
benefit to the public roads in the
drainage district and the district
should pay for the bridges and not
the county.
Highway Engineer J. Flammang
testified that the material for the
bridges would cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000, not counting any
thing for the erection.
The case was tried before Judge
Calvird, sitting as special judge,
who rendered a verdict in favor Of
the county.
Silvers & Dawson, of this city, rep
resented Bates county. The drain
age ditch was represented by Glenn
& Glenn, Harrisonville; Walter
Owen, Clinton. and D. c. Barnett,
Harrisonvilie.

GIANT WURLlTZER ORGAN
HAS ITS OPENING AT THE
MAJESTIC THEATER TODAY

The giant Wuritzer Hope-Jones
Unit orchestra and pipe organ opens
it's initial performance today at the
Majestic theater in conjunction with
the feature attraction, THE Apostle of
Vengeance" with the screen favorite
William S. Hart cast in the stellar
part.
The great organ has been under
course of installation for more than
two weeks, and now its nearly seven
tons of instruments and casing stands
solidly in a water proof concrete pit
made purposely for it below the stage
level of the theater. Aside from the
pipe organ complete in itself the unit
instrument is equal to 20 to 80 piece
orchestra. Each instrument is a solo
instrument, or can be used in the full
orchestra. one of the most wonderful
of all the different features is the VoX
humana, an instrument that makes a
tone so nearly that of the human voice
that it is difficult to tell the differ
ence.
Wendell O'Day will be at the key
board, having come here from the
Rialto theater in San Francisco, where
he was leader and organist.
A special overture of Hawaiian mel
odies has been announced for today

Manager of Big Prune Or
chard Near Nyssa Put
Under Arrest in Connec-
ton With Shooting.
LEFT COUNTRY WHEN
INDICTMENT FOUND
Understood That He Had
Gone to South America,
but Suddenly Returned
Claimed He Intended Civ
ing Himself UP.

Nyssa, March 2S.-John J. Cancel
mo, manager Of the Idanha prune or
chard here of 120 acres, the largest
prune orchard in the Snake river val
ley, was arrested at the orchard Sun
day afternoon and taken to the county
Jail at Vale Sunday night And thereby
hangs a tale.
Mr.. Cancelmo is the son of a very
wealthy wholesale fruit dealer of
Philadelphia. His father purchased
the Idanha prune orchard several
years ago, and built thereon the larg-
est and most modern prune dryer in
the west. The son was in charge as
manager of this valuable property.
SHOOTING AFFAIR.
Last November Cancelmo was thu
central figure in a peculiar shooting
affair. He was at a dance at the
Grange hall on the Boulevard road
near Ontario. After the dance it seems
Cancelmo started toward Nyssa in his
auto. Apparently something went
wrong with his car, which was stand
ing in position blockading the road
when another car APPROACH and
stopped. This car with filled with
young people who were returning to
Nyssa from the dance. AS this car
proceeded on toward Nyssa a shot is
alleged to have been fired at it by
Cancelmo. The bullet penetrated the
rear seat of the car and struck a Nys-
ga woman. Later she was taken to the
Ontario hospital, and she now is full
ly recovered from the wound.
Cancelmo was arrested and bound
over the await the action of the grand
jury at Vale in January, 1917. He was
placed under $1,000 bond which was
furnished by three citizens of Nyssa.
JUMPED HIS BOND.
Just previous to the meeting of the
grand jury Cancelmo jumped his bond
and fled, supposedly to South America.
The grand jury returned an indict-
ment against Cancelmo, the charge be-
ing assault with a deadly weapon.
Last Sunday morning Cancelmo re-
turned to Nyssa. He claims he came
back for the purpose of giving him
self up, but he failed to notify the
sheriff's office at Vale of his presence
here. The sheriff's office was APP
prised of his return to Nyssa, and at
3 o'clock Sunday afternoon his arrest
was effected. He was taken to Vale
via Ontario, and at 10 Sunday night
was lodged in Jail. 1t is expected his
trial will be held at the April term of
circuit court at Vale, Judge Dalton
Biggs presiding.
is WELL KNOWN.
Cancelmo is we'll known in the ter
ritory between Boise and Weiser. He
is about 80 years old. The shooting
affair in which he is alleged to have
been involved created quite a sensa-
ton at the time. There was much
surprise among the people upon his
unexpected return here last Sunday.
There are four other occupants of
the county Jail at present, as follows:
M. Ray, a bad check artist, who is
alleged to have issued bad checks in
Emmett, Ontario and North Powder;
Frank Lyells, who is serving a Jail
sentence on the charge of drunken
ness; Elmer Dory, serving Il Jail SEN
tence for bootlegging, and Mexican,

thousands of persons might be saved
who now die every year from pneumo-
MIA, grippe, consumption, kidney, liver,
heart trouble, etc. The real and true
cause which started their disease was
nothing more nor less than a weakened

her system at certain periods, she re-
quires iron much more than man to
help make up for the loss.
Iron is absolutely necessary to enable
your blood to change food into living
tissue. Without it. no matter how
much or what you eat, your food mere
ly passes through you without doing
you any good. You don't get the
strength out of it, and as consequence
you become weak, pale and sickly look
ing, just like a plant trying to grow in
a soil deficient in iron. II you are not
strong or well, you owe it to yourself -
make the following test: See how long
you can work or how far you can walk

tivegrain tablets of ordinary nuxated
iron three times per day after meals for
two weeks. Then test your strength
