by applause, cheers and stamping of feet,

to go. 1 have no brief for Mr.. Roosevelt,
but 1 believe we must get an army over
there Just as soon as possible"
1t was several moments before order
was finally restored and the speaker was
able to continue. The rally was held
under the auspices of the Third Regi-
ment, District National Guard.
Representative Simon D. Fess, Of
Ohio. brought home the seriousness of
the crisis and urged volunteering
Gen. William L. Harvey, commanding

DICTATORIAL POWERS
Passes Bill Designed to Prevent War
lime Freight Tie-Up.

The first legislative step toward Civ
ing the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion dictatorial powers over the
freight cars of the country in an ef-
fort to prevent congestion was COM
pleted yesterday afternoon when the
House passed the Esch freight car
bill.
The measure will be taken up in the
Senate shortly, it is planned, SO the
provisions of the bill may be placed
into operation before congestion re-
suits at Eastern ports through the in
creased shipments of food and sup
plies to the entente allies.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, under the terms of the bill may,
whenever II believes 1t best suspend
the operation of all existing rules
and regulations and control the
freight car service of the nation as it
sees fit. The bill provides for the
distribution and movement of cars
for the transportation of particular
commodities or for transportation to
or from particular localities during the
emergency as in its (the commlssion's)
opinion will best meet the emerg-
ency and promote the operation of car
service in the interest Of the public
and to the advantage or the con-
,venience and commerce of the people"

ACTION ON ESPIONAGE
BILL DUE next week
Senate Debates Indicate Early Vote on
Administration Recommendations.

Definite action by the Senate on the
adInlnlstration's espionage bill is prac-
tically assured in the Upper House be-
lore the middle of next week. This was
evidenced in the closing minutes OF yes
terday's session when a motion. Of unani-
nous consent was offered by Senator
OVerman, of North Carolina, providing
for restricting the general debate on the
measure so that after IL o'clock Satur-
DAY morning the Senate shall begin voting
on amendments and that thereafter
speeches on the bill itself shall be limited
10 ten minutes and upon amendments
thereto to five minutes. The unanimous
consent was not Forthcoming, objection
being made by Senator Jones, Of Wash
ington.
For want of a quorum the Senate ad-
journed to today at II o'clock and in the
interval Senator Overman is expected TO
perfect his motion and there is small
likelihood that objection will be raised
thereafter.
Senator Vardaman. of Mississippi at
tackled the censorship as despotic. There
developed in the Senate evidence that a
covert movement was on foot to force a
cloture rule upon that body in order to
insure a speedy vote on the espionage
bill. Already sixteen Senators had placed
their names to a petition for cloture when
the fact became known. At once there
was wave OF earnest protest and as a
result Senator Johnson. of California, in
troduced in the Senate his motion to
strike the entire paragraph dealing with
the censorship from the bill.
II the proposed voting agreement lost
in last nights parliamentary tangle is
put into effect It will mean that no lini-
tation is placed upon the Senate's power
to amend the pending bill, but that only
the period for discussion by individual
Senators will be curtailed
Predictions as to the success or failure
of the censorship section OF the bill in
the Senate are freely made on both sides
of the question. There is a evident dis
cord in the ranks of the Democrats.
Among the Republicans the administra-
tion plan is even more disliked.

Antidotes for
Bodily Poisons
CBy L. II. SMITH. Vi. d.

The victims OF auto-intoxication
are many thousand every day. By
reason of the toxins, or poisons bred
in the intestines, these poisonous
bacteria are sent all through the
blood channels and the victim feels
tired, sleepy and headachy, or the
brain doesn't work as usual. The
best treatment for this is to drink
hot water before breakfast-plenty
of water all day and procure SIM
pie laxative, made of May-apple,
leaves of aloe, etc. with no calomel
and entirely vegetable, which can be
obtained at any drug store, known as
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
Equally important is it to cleanse
kidneys and bladder, and drinking
plentifully of pure water will cleanse
them to certain extent. Then OBJ
tain at the drug store little Anuric,
which was first discovered by DR..
Pierce, of Surgical Institute in Buff
ialo, N. Y. Anuric double strength
should be taken before meals. 1t is
many times more potent than lithia
in throwing off the poisonous accu-
mutations of uric acid.
Through failure of kidneys to act,
through congestion, inflammation
any person's condition is ripe for
disease to fasten its hold upon the
system.
Anuric has been tested for the past
few years for kidney, bladder, uric
acid troubles, rheumatism, gout, and
such ailments as follow, and so many
cases both acute and stubborn have
yielded to this wonderful remedy
