TWO WOMEN CLAIM DAMAGES
AS WIDOW OF DENNIS
JACKSON

Waycross, Ga. Feb "a recent
decision OF the supreme court OF
Georgia makes ready for trial in CITY
court here a rather unique case caus-
ed by the death OF man named Den
mis- Jackson, in the Atlantic Coast
Line yards in 1915. Two women.
one named Mary Jackson, the other
Mary Jane Jackson. are after $4,000
damages on account of the mans
death. Both elaine they were mar
ried to the deceased.
When the two claims were made
the Coast Line sought to enjoin eth
err party proceeding against it, claim
ing that one or the other should first
establish her right to damages. The
attorneys for the plaintiffs contended
that the real relationship between the
women and the man would be disclos-
ed by the evidence in the case, and it
should go to trial. Judge Summerall
overruled the petition for Injunction
and the railroad appealed to the SUI
premo court. The court has affirmed
the decision and the case is now sche-
duled for trial at the March term of
city court.

BUTTER

Why do restaurants keep up the
Dretense Of serving butter?
In the first place the stuff they
serve would be an insult to any self
respecting creamery; and in the sec
Ond place they dOn's serve enough
of it to make worth while chasing
with a knife.
A pat of restaurant butter these
days is about as big as a germ and
almost as visible. It is so small, in
fact, that it can stand in the middle
of its chip and be a days journey
from the edge in any direction.
There was a time when restaurant
butter covered a multitude of bread.

Will Begin Riprapping
Soon as Council Passes
on Awarding Contract

Riprapping the river slopes from
Calder to Maclay streets, will be
started as soon as council approves
the contract award, Park Commission
or h. Z. Gross said to-day.
The total cost of this work will be
about $4,000. and the only trouble now
that park department officials face is
the fact that of the last 800, 900 i'm
provement loan only a trife over $3,-
500 remains. This will be used to pay
for the riprapping, but will only meet
the cost of about two thirds of the
work
Commissioner Gross will probably
ask cLuncil to provide the remainder
of the money from the general appro-
priation so that the entire stretch
can be treated. The necessity of this
important Improvement is evident, he
said. and it is believed council will
agree to have the work completed.
When this is finished Assistant
Park Commissioner V. Grant Forrer
is planning to go ahead with planting
OF the slopes and filing the soil pock-
cts which will be made in the riprap
work. Every effort will be made to
have the entire Improvement complet-
ed before the Kipona Day celebration
early in September.

PRESIDENT AND
DEFENSE COUNCIL
HIT IN SENATE
Upper Branch of Congress
Charges Executive Depart
ment Is Lax

Washington, May II. - For the
first time since the declaration OF
war the lid was taken off in the
Senate yesterday and bitter. criticism
of the war preparations made by
senator's. The discussion was preci-
pitated by the bringing in of the
$500, 100000 war appropriation
bill. 1t had not proceeded minute
when Democratic Leader Martin,
who is chairman OF the appropria-
tions committee and in charge of the
bills, demanded tnat the doors be
closed.
With the galleries cleared the de-
bate continued with intense bitter
ness. There was sweeping denuncia-
ton of the whole executive brancn
of the government, special attacks
being made on the President, Secre.
tary of War Baker, Secretary of the
Navy Daniels and the Shipping
Board.
The President was criticised for
not taking members Of the Senate
into his confidence. 1T was charged
that much was going on, under the
cloak of secrecy, which the Presi-
dent knows nothing of. 1t was charg-
cd that he knew nothing of the
sharp row which is alleged to haNe
been going on in the Shipping Board
between Chairman Denman and
General Goethals.
No progress was made on the bill,
but with the outburst of Indignation
out of the way Senate leaders
thought passage of the huge war ap-
preparation measure would not be
long delayed.
Sweeping Criticism Made
The council was charged with
usurpation of authority, and with
unlawfully delegatIng power to the
advisory commission. The Shipping
Board was assailed for alleged in
reference with private shipbuilders
and for insisting upon its wooden
ship program. The President was
attacked for alleged lack of coop
Grafton and consultation with Con-
gresS.
The upshot of the entire discus
sion was adoption of an amendment
by Senator Sterling, of South Da-
kota, setting forth that the powers
of the Council of National Defense
shall not be considered enlarged be-
cause Of war conditions. A section
of the bill appropriating 100000
for the defense cobncil was the basis
for the debate.

everlasting life to the diamond in
dustry. The idea came to me sew
eral years ago and | conferred
with our chairman and he agreed
that diamonds could be raised to
a price, not over raised. There is
no intention of doing-that. At the
same time, why sell 100000
carats for 100000 pounds. when
you can sell 100000 carats for
100000 pounds"
Cutting Situation Limits Supply
The London Syndicate deals
only in rough" diamonds. These
must be cut, involving enormous
waste, to produce gems. The GEN.
ter of the cutting industry before
the war was in Antwerp and AM
sterdam. The industry in Ant
werp has been practically wiped
out. and seriously crippled in
Amsterdam.
Reconstructng this business to
its former efficiency will require
years. for diamond cutting re-
quires the highest skilled labor in
all its branches. and tho war has
made heavy inroads on these
workers. This for a long time
will be factor in increasing
prices. in addition to the control
of trough" diamonds by the Syn
dicate,

REPUBLIC FLEET
OF TRUCKS HERE
I. w. Dill With Local Drivers
Bring Thirty-Five Trucks
From Michigan Factory

In the Office of I. w. Dill are
him in various endurance and So
ciability runs. BSing a pioneer in
the automobile industry of Harris
burg, he has entered practically all
of the runs and no event of that
kind seemed complete without Dill.
This year Mr.. Dill conceived the
idea of having an endurance run all
to himself. The route was longer
than any run ever mapped out by
any motoring party in this section
of the state. Eighr hundred miles
from Alma, Mich, to Harrisburg.
The entries were limited to Repub-
lie trucks to be delivered to the
Pen-Mar Auto Company of this
city, and the rules governing the
run permitted the caravan of trucks
to make the final control in the
shortest time possible consistent
with safety first in the care of the
trucks. The prize award was the
satisfaction of delivering thirty-five
trucks to waiting buyers and the
satisfaction of knowing that the
trucks were equal to any reasonable
requirement. The result shows that
the cars left Alma, Mich, Thursday
evening and arrived here last even
ing at 6 o'clock. All scars reported
in perfect mechanical condition and
lined up on Mulberry street bridge.
The trip was made over all kinds of
roads, going from Alma through
Lansing, Toledo, Cleveland, Youngs-
town, Warren, Pittsburgh, and Lin
coin Highway to Harrisburg. En-
route the trucks commanded a great
deal of attention, many people as
suming that they were for war pur-
poses.
Among those who drove the cars,
besides Mr.. Dill, who led the way
with the pilot car, were: II. w.
Glass, Albert Jones, Isaiah Nelson,
and II. A. Marks, of Phillipsburg;
c. ID. Clark and l.. S. Ulrich, of Sun
burg; c. E. Rettinger and Harry Fin
ton, of Lykens; Homer Smith, Henry
Fasnacht and Allen Lingle of Pal
myra; Kenneth Thomas, Camp Hill;
Forrest Philipelli, Edward Fair. Will
liam Gearhart, George Hibsman,

Charles Thomas, Bellefonte, and A.

man from the Republic factory, M.

publics, was obliged to remain home
to look after the truck business of
the entire territory during Mr.. Dill's
absence.

son was not kept properly Informed
regarding supply purchasing. Oth-
ers declared that the President and
the cabinet, without warrant of law,
had conferred some of their powers
upon the advisory commission, par
ticularly as to the purchasing OF
supplies.
1t was asserted that General Goe-
thals opposed building of wooden
ships, favoring steel, but had been
compelled by the Shipping Board
to proceed with wooden construction.
Senator Weeks complained that
members of the Shipping Board had
prevented a private ship building
company from raising capital and
deferred individuals from investing
advising them against putting money
into specific corporations.
Upon the question OF supply pur-
chases, Senator Mcclellan, OF Ten

fense Council and the Advisory Com
mission for alleged mismanagement

Lodge Defends Senate
Senator Lodge replied to criticisms
that the Senate has been delaying
war legislation.
I'm observations frequently made
we have been called slackers and it
had been said we are doing moth
ing" Senator Lodge said. six
weeks ago to-day the war was de-
clared. l have never worked so
hard or so much as since the decla-
ration of war. We began by pass
ing four great appropriation bills,
We have passed great loan bills;
we've passed through both houses q
bill providing for selective con-
scriptIon.
England and Canada have been
discussing conscrIption for three
years. We've done it in both houses
inside of a fortnight"
The senator reviewed other meas
ures which have been passed by the
Senate.
II say that remarkable work has
been DONE" ne added. This is an
extraordinary reco.G of hard, ener-
setic work. We are not here to
take all legislation and not look
at it,"
Senator Poindexter said some peo-
pie seemed to have the idea that the
war would be won by legislation and
that he thought pointing out some
things which were obvious to every
one might help, especially as the
Impression seems to prevail that the
whole success of the war depended
on what Congress did.
What is it that the administra-
ton wants?" he demanded. Does
the President lack any authority to
carry on the war;" He spoke of the
time that had elapsed since the dec
laration of a state of war adding,
"and L am yet to hear of a single
German submarine that has been
sunk by a vessel of the United States
navy" The people of his section of
the country had the material and
the men with which to build ships,
the Washington Senator, declared,
but they were not being utilized.

like ELECTRIC
BUTTON ON TOES
Tells why a corn is so painful
and says cutting makes
them grow.

Press an electric button and you
form ID contact with a live wire
which rings the bell. When your
shoes press against your corn it
pushes its sharp roots down upon
a sensitive nerve and you get a
shock of pain.
Instead of trimming your corns.
which merely makes them grow, just
step into any drug store and ask for
a quarter of an ounce of freezone.
This will cost very little but is suf-
ficient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet. a
few drops applied directly upon n
tender, aching corn stops the sore
ness instantly, and soon the corn
shrivels up so it lifts right out, root
and all, without pain. This drug
Is harmless and never inflames or
even irritates the surrounding tissue
or skin.-Adv.
