BIG PEACE MEET
10000 Urge Embargo on NUM-
tiOnS and Foods From u. $.
PacifiSt, Socialist and Ministers
Demand War Vote.

Chicago, Feb. 19.-Ten thousand
people attended the peace meeting held
at the Coliseum Sunday afternoon and
passed resolutions that IAN embargo
be placed upon munitions and food
stuffs and referendum vote be taken
as to whether the United States should
enter the war;
The crowd was addressed by two
Socialists, a pacifist, Congressman
Galloway of Texas, and several minis
tiers, including the Rev. Jenkins Lloyd
Jones.
Charges that metropolitan papers
were being paid to print war editor
:als" by munition manufacturers and
that anybody who believed in Stephen
Decatur's My country, right or
wrong" was fool, were heartily ap-
plauded.
And, while thousands were cheering
the pacifist propagandists at the Coli
scum, the Rev Johnston Myers, adj
dressing a large audience on THE
Crisis at the Emmanuel Baptist
church bitterly denounced the peace
partisans, declaring that persons call
ing protest meetings at this time are
guilty of treason.

We car manufacture poisons within

The liver acts as a guard over our
well-being, sitting out the cinders and
ashes from the general circulation. A

heavy burden upon the liver If the
intestines are choked or clogged up,
the circulation of the blood becomes
poisoned, the system becomes loaded
with toxic waste, and we suffer from

BUT z MORE WEEKS
Many Important Measures Are
Pending in Both Houses.
Let Wilson Dictate What Meas
ures Shall Be Passed.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Congress to-
day started it's next to the last week
of the session with the general leg1s-
lative situation somewhat as follows:
In the senate the espionage and
bill was up for final
action. Next the revenue bill and
naval bill carrying $553,000,0OO Will
be pushed. Most of the legislative
congestion exists in the senate.
In the house the Danish West Indies
bill was up for passage today. The
army bill carrying $247, 100000 prob
ably will be passed tomorrow and sent
to the senate Other measures which
are to be pressed in the house imme-
diately according to present plans,
are the sundry civil and general de-
ficiency appropriation bill and mill
tary academy bill. .
The postoffice appropriation bill
with its bone dry prohibition
amendment may be called up Tues
day. What national emergency legis-
lation is to be passed during the re-
naming two weeks rests largely with
President Wilson and the development
of the German submarine situation,
to get action on the bill to empower
the government to control merchant
shipping in case of war. Some doubt
seems to exist among congressional
leaders whether railroad labor legisla-
ton, the rivers and harbors bill and
other general measures can be passed
before adjournment.
The house rules committee met to-
day to draft it's report on the leak in
vestigation which probably will be
presented later this week.

Woman Charged With Crime.

lest in Pawnee County.

Larned, Kan, Feb. ia real
murder mystery hangs over Larned
today as the result of the finding of
the body of Mrs. John H. Boisseau,
wife of wealthy ranchman, at her
home Saturday afternoon. John NJ.
Boisseau, husband of the murdered
woman, is in Jail charged with the
murder and this morning had failed to
produce the 100000 bond demanded
following his arrest and the formal
placing of first degree murder
charge against him.
The body OF Mrs. Boisseau was
found by her aughter-in-law an hour
after death had occurred. She immedi-
ately reported to the neighbors and an
autopsy developed the fact that her
skull had been fractured by a blow
and the officers believe the blow was
delivered by her husband. This be-
lief is founded on tie fact that the
Boisseaus frequently quarreled, and It
is said one of their quarrels occurred
Saturday about noon.
Boisseau, who is go years old and
reputed to be one of the wealthiest
men in Pawnee county, has refused to
make a statement other than to deny
that he had anything to do with the
killing of his wife

WORK ON DECISION
Legislature Watches Supreme Court
ON Highway Matters.

Members of the legislature may
work from the supreme court decision
in the highway suit plan for extend
ing highway building under state su-
pervision. Justice j. S. West, who
wrote the opinion, today filed the
opinion with D. A. Valentine, clerk of
the court. While a notation of the
courts action had been filed earlier
in the week, details of the action were
not known until today.
The opinion holds the Bardwell act,
appropriating money for road work, in
violation of the constitution. 1t is be-
ieved, tho, that under interpretations
of the courts action that the state
may appropriate money with which to
establish road standards. Such action
may be taken in line with educational
work, such as irrigation projects by
the state. The road bill has passed
both houses, but will probably go to
conference as a result of senate
amendments. Several legislative mem
bers today expressed the belief that
the legislature might originate new
bill providing for establishment of
standard highways under direction of
the commission. In event this action
is not taken, an effort may be made to
amend the present bill while it is con-
sidered in the conference committee
meetings.
