SENATOR'S CRITICIZE PRESIDENT WILSON
 IN SECRET SESSION

Washington, May 7-Unqualified au- thority for proclamation of export en- bargoes by the President was restored to the administration espionage bill by the Senate today after Democratic Leader Martin had explained behind closed doors that President Wilson feared he would be unable to accomplish the ends de- sired under the section as it had been modified
 The provision as it now stands would empower the President during the war when public safety shall so require" to proclaim it unlawful to export articles tc any country named" Last week the Senate voted to authorize the embargoes only against countries through which goods were found to be reaching the enemy
 Todays action was preceded by a five hour debate in executive session, during which for the first time since the Uni ted States went to war with Germany there was vigorous and Hong continued criticism of President Wilson. Republic ans led the attacks, which were not directed at the Presidents conduct of the war but at his failure to consult with members of Congress about the legisla- tion proposed to enable him successfully to carry it On

Washington, May 1.-The unfathomed possibilities of the United States mails as medium of governmental publicity are to be developed at once to bring home to every person ill the country the need of subscribing to the liberty loan.

Every letter box of the hundEeds of thousands in the country is to be- placarded with posters announcing the loan and the need for contributions.

WHAT HAPPENED

Senator Martin stated when the doors were closed that the President would be embarrassed by the amendment put in last week and that the Senate should now reverse itself. He said the govern ment has reason to believe that Ameri- can exports were getting to Germany through Holland and Switzerland.
 Senator Walsh said that one instance showing the need of a stronger provision was found in the fact that Spain now is limiting exports of certain articles needed by England which she formerly allowed to go in larger amounts. With strict embargo law in the United States he suggested, the administration might help an ally by restricting exports to Spain.
 Senators Lodge Knox and Fall called attention to the fact that the Senate had no advance information or reasons for enactment of a strict embargo section.
 CONSULTS NO ONE
 They declared nobody had any idea that the war was partisan affair. but that the President had not consulted any republican senator, nor had he told any administration leaders, until the Senate modified the provision, his reason for de- siring it passed in stronger terms It would help, republican senators said, if the President would take one or more democratic leaders into his confidence on important legislation, that they might transmit it to their colleagues.

BANK FRS AND THE WAR

A report reached the Clty that the wee president of one of the largest of Boston banks has entered active service in the war, giving up his high -salaried office to do that But he is not the only banker whose abilities are recognized who will be called upon to serve The presidents of two of the greatest uptown banks in New York city are not only liable to be called into service but expect to be summoned in few days.

For some years it has paid the largest dividend on it's stock paid by any American bank and the market quotations for it's stock are much larger than those for any other bank. President HetZler was first lieu tenant in the United States army in the Spanish war. The other bank president who may any day be summoned to the service is Charles Elliot Warren, Npresi- dent of the Lincoln National bank, which now has deposits of nearly s40,0O0,O00 President Warren was captain in the Spanish war and brigade inspector of the United States volunteers.

TO HEAR SHIPPERS

Shippers, many of whom agree that some increase is necessary, will oo given a hearing by the commission on May 23. The proposed increase, which has been tentatively authorized by the commission. will go into effect oa. July l, unless the existing tentative order is changed. Specific increases are sought for coal. coke and ore in the east and south. which are exempted from the general raise
 All the executives appearing today for the eastern roads placed special emphasis upon inadequate facilities and insufficient capital Howard I1l liott, speaking for the New Haven, said the proposed increase would not meet the advance in the systems coal bill. Samuel Req, president of tEe Pennsylvania, and others declared the increase to be absolutely essential if the roads in the great manufacturing districts were to be in position to handle existing traffic for war service.
 All the speakers rebresented file need of the 1ines in the east to pc of the most urgent character. A. 1T. Smith, president of the New York Gen. tral, declared that if the commission had the power to grant an increase Of 15 per cent upon all freight traffic, ir- trastate as well as interstate, and al lowed it upon coal. coke ore and all other traffic, the additional revenue, would not equal the costs that have been added to pay rolls and vouchers during the past IS months.

They Claim Amount Asked for Will Not Cover Great CT Cost Operation-TO
 Hear Shippers

Washington, May 7.-Spol1esmen of the railroads of the east, before the interstate commerce commission today in the first of the hearings through which all the roads of the country hope to get an increase of F per cent in freight rates, declared the he- cessity for the advance was impera- tive to enable the railroads to meet their wartime demands of the nation and increased cost of everything enter ing into tine operation of their systems Even should the advance be granted, they said, it would fail by S15,OOO,o0o to offset the increase in operating expenses for the current year.
 The eastern lines completed their case today. Tomorrow the executives of those of the south will tell the com mission why they think they should have more revenues. Representatives of the western systems will present their arguments after the southern lines have concluded.

EVER SALWATED BY
CALONEL2 HORRIBLE!
Calomel is quicksilver and acts
like dynamite on
your liver.

Calomcl loses you a dayl You
know what calomel is. It's mer-
curry; quicksilver. Calomel is dam
gerous. It crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sick
ening you. Calomel attacks the
bones and should never be put into
your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for few cents a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomell 1t makes YOU
sick the next day it loses YOU days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you feel great.
Give it to the children because it is
eeEsectly harmless and doesn't gripe.
