Ages ago some democratic legal pred

And now along comes Justice OF the

He Was Coerced
By Swann's Aids
Levine's Testimony Sur
prises Attorneys for
the City Club

The City Club, which is prosecuting
District Attorney Swami on charges Of
misconduct in Office, struck snag yes
terday in the form OF a rccalcitrant
witness. He was William Levine, of II
Cannon Street. who was expected to
testify that he had been coerced by Mr..
Swann's assistants into pleading guilty
to n charge of perjury while the Dis
trict Attorney was preparing his de-
fence to the clubs original charges in
February.
To the surprise Of Chase Mellen and
John Kirkland Clark, counsel for the
City Club, Levine testified that he had
committed perjury before the grand
jury in 1914, when he testified that he
saw Max Sigman and Abraham Gold
berg, labor union leaders. assault David
Manusevitz, a strikebreaker.
Mr.. Mellen tried TO show that AS
sistant District Attorneys Samuel
Markewich and Morris Elder, who are
under fire, had talked with him since
tho trial began. Levine denied that he
had talked with anybody about how he
should testify.
Medical Student Testifies
Earlier Philip Finkcl. son of Benja-
min Finkel, one time president of the
Max Sulkes rival union, testified that
Markewitch and Eder subp9naed him
to the Distric: Attorneys Office to try
to influence his party to plead guilty
to perjury while a witness before the
grand jury in the case of Herman Lelo-
owitz, who was murdered IN 1910
Young Finkcl is student in the Col
legc Of Physicians and Surgeons.
Commissioner lngraham, who is hear
ing the charges, showed considerable
interest in FinkePs story that Assistant
District Attorney Eder had offered 20
get him a hospital appointment.
The witness testified that Markewlch
and Eder locked him in a room with
his father, but the latter insisted that
he was not guilty of perjury in the
Leibowitz case. lie said he told them
Of his fathers decision, to which Elder
replied:

end Of the week, because the Judge who
will take his plea won't be on the bench
after that. There's no telling what an
other Judge. who doesn't know anything
about these cases, may do to him"
Finkel said Markewich and Eder told
him that they were not after his father,
because he was only tool in the hands
Of Max Sulkes, who was getting money
for framing up" union officials. finkel
continued he was fifteen years old when
Leibowitz was murdered, and he could
swear that his father was not working
in Philadelphia at the time. To this
Eder replied, according to Finkel;
"Oh. well. he doesn't have to say that
he was in Philadelphia. All he has TO
do is say that Sulkes told him to say
he saw the murder. You see, we have
your father both for perjury and
subornation of perjury. If he will
plead guilty we will get him out on a
suspended sentence"
The hearing will be resumed Monday.

IF KIDNEYSAND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys
and NeutraIize Irritating
Acids

Kidney and bladder weakness result
from uri acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
inflame, cruising a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread. the water passes
sometimes with a scaldiEg sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
1t, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one Of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
Of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
traliZe the acids in the urine 80 1t no
longer Is a source Of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which
then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with hthia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caus.
ed by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efterves-
cent litha1a-water drink, which quickly

Director SAYS
FILIP|NOS MUST
GETEDUCATION

That the tendency of Filipinos in
Hawaii toward crime might be less,
ened by tie establishment Of schools,
especially on plantations, where large
numbers Of F'ilipinos are employed, is
the belief Of W. w. Marquardt. director
of education for the Philippine Islands
who was a visitor In Honolulu re-
Gently.
Today, says Mr.. Marquardt, there
are some $4,000 Filipinos in school in
the Philippine islands, and he points
out with emphasis that the natives
are exceedingly studious and anxious
to acquire an English education, and
that they will study and devote their
time to their books if given an op-
portunity. The establishment of night
or day schools for them here, he says,
would at least keep them out Of mis-
chief"
There are now 5000 FiIipinos in the
United States navy, says MIR. Mar
quardt, and these men, he adds, were
spoken Of very faVorably by naval Of
fieers whom he talked with while on
the mainland.
The Philippines has organized a
national guard of $4,000 men, and this
body has offered it's services to the
United States government in the pres
ent war. The islands, he continues.
are having considerable trouble to get
ships. but were fortunate in being
able to ship all of this years sugar
crop, most of which went to the
United States.

W. Kinney, superintendent Of public
instruction, this morning, on teachers
