| After serving as deputy sheriff Of
Harris county for twelve years, Mr..
Anderson was elected chief of police
Of the city Of Houston. He had
occupied this office only short
time when the sheriff OF Harris
county died. Mr. Anderson's friends
persuaded him to make the race for
the unexpired term OF sheriff to
which he was easily elected. He
was honored with reelection seven
different times and served the peo-
pie in this important office for
fifteen consecutive years. Four
years ago Mr.. Anderson declined re-
election and retired to private life.
He cast his lot among the people
OF Houston and is large property

M|TCHEL MOD|F|ES CHARGES AGAINST
 SENATOR WAGNER
The New York Mayor Still Sticks to Assertion Assem- blyman's Course Was for
 Benefit of Germany

Albany April 3.-When Mayor Mitchell or New York stated recently that the opposition of State Senator Robert F., wagner to the passage of the Rockaway notifications bill indicated that the sem ator was working more in the interests of Germany than in the interests of the Cmted States, he did not intend to charge the legislator with conscious and intentional disloyalty to this country. Fms declaration was made by the mayor late today while under cross examination before the senate 'on charges of having made false and malicious report con- cerning Senator Wagner in his legislative capacity.
 Friends of Senator Wagner interpreted Mayor Mitchers explanation as a vindi- cation of the senator's patriotism. Sena- tor Wagner, it was explained, resented especially any implication that he was not loyal American citizen, although he was born in Prussia.
 Mayor Mitchell occupied the witness chair for three hours today. The mayor said he stood by his assertion that Sena- tor Wagners hostility to the Rockaway legislation had delayed the Qualifications construction work from early inFberu- ary until the present time, that the Unit ed states government did not profit there- by, but that the German government, with which the United States is virtually at war and the Rockaway- Pacific corpora tion, owners of the land in controversy, were the only beneficiaries of MT.

 of Country for Great War

Washington, April 3.-Rapid progress m moblizing the woman power of the country for war service was reported here today at the first general confer ence of the National League for Wom- an Service. The services of the league were pledged to President Wilson, and the conference issued a call to women not only to enroll to take the place of men in War time, but to encourage men to en- list in the army and navy.
 Within the last two months 115 branches 1Td the league have been formed in 34 Fstates, and Miss Maude Wetmore, the national chairman, said today that through bureau of registration in Wash ington, CO., operating with the department of labor, the league expects to enroll thousands of women to replace men in various industries
 In the next six months the navy can be supplied with 800 trained women radio operators, Mrs. Herbert Sumner Owen, chairman of the wireless division. de- clared. Forty girls already are studying in wireless school in New York. Re- ports from New Jersey, Connecticut, North Carolina and other states were that local branches are specializing in home gardening and prevention of waste in cooking as war measures
 The resolution pledging support to the President was offered by Mrs. William Cummings Story, president general of the Daughters of the American Revolu- ton, and Mrs. Hugh L. Scott, wife of Major General Scott, chief of staff.

I WILL NEVER QUIT TALKING ABOUT Il" !" SAYS MRS. WOMACK Says Tanlac Completely Re- stored Health After 15
 Years Suffering

Five bottles of Tanlac have completely restored my health after suffering torture with indigestion for 15 long years,'' said Mrs. Nancy Womack a well known wom- an of Pratt City, living on R. F. D. No. l. when she was in Eugene Jacobs drug storesa a few days ago talking to the Tam lac representative.
 'I guess I was in about as bad fix as anybody could be- she continued. 1T never knew what it was feel well a single day in all those 15 years and no matter what I tried before taking Tanlac I was just as bad off as before. I didn't have any appetite and could hardly eat anything without suffering misery after ward. I was told I had chronic indiges- ton and it was certainly terrible. I had the most awful headaches and got it, such bad shape that for the last two years I wasn't able to sleep at night to do ma any good, and when l took my first dose of Tanlac was too weak to sit up hardly two hours at a time.
 Well, sir, after I had gotten started on Tanlac I began to sleep well ali night and would wake up in the morning feel ing refresher, and fine, and hungry as could be, for the first time in six months. In few days I was eating anything I wanted, even cabbage without the slight est trouble and from that time on haven't suffered one minute with indiges- ton or stomach trouble or headaches. gained 10 pounds on the first bottle and now after taking five bottles, I am in as good health as anyone could possibly be. I can't say enough in praise of Tanlac and III never quit talking about the good It's done me as long as live"

Washington. April S.-Colonel Roosevelt stopped off here today on his way home from Florida to call on President Wilson at the White House and congratulate him on his address to Congress.
 Colonel Roosevelt went to the main door of the executive mansion. where he learned the President had gone over to his offices He told the chief usher he was only in town between trains and wished to congratulate the President 'on his great state paper
 The colonel left his card and departed without seeing the President.
 ISSUES STATEMENT
 Colonel Roosevelt standing in the midst of the great crowd in the railway station here, dictated the following state ment:
 '"rhe Presidents message is a great state paper, which will rank in history among the great state papers, of which Americans in future years will be proud. It now rests with the people of the coun- try to see that we put in practice the policy the President has outlined, and that we strike as hard, as soon, and as effectively as possible in aggressive war against the government of Germany. We must send troops to the firing line az rapidly as possible. Defensive war is hopeless. We must by vigorous offen- sive warfare, win the right to have our voice count for civilization and justice when the time for peace comes
 ''I, of course, very earnestly hope that I may be allowed to raise a division for immediate service at the front. | guar antee that no finer body of fighting men could be gathered together than there would be in that division, but of course, the men to whom 1 would appeal will come forward only if it is understood that the division is to be sent at the
