LaFOlIette Technically" APP
proves Sinking of Lusitania.
Passengers Took Lives in Own
Hands, His Version.
STATEMENT STARTS A RIOT
tYou're Yellow, Bob, ""Put Him
4 Out" Cry Hearers.
Senator Rails on Wealth Be-
I. fore Farmers Meeting.

St. Paul. Sept. 21.-Senator La Fol-
.lette of Wisconsin, told an audience
gathered al the closing session of the
Producers and Consumers conference
last night that he was opposed to war.
that he thought Germany had been
rather rough with the technical
rights of American citizens, but that
he did not think the exercise of these
technical rights in travelling on board
merchantmen laden with munitions
was worth going to war about.
9 4 ajority of the delegates to the
conference, mainly farmers, gave the
Wisconsin senator tunultuous recep-
'tion. There were a few in the large
gathering, however. who did not ap-
prove all the sentiments expressed by
Che speaker. When in explaining his
ideclaration that the United States
should never have entered the war, he
sought to defend the sinking of the
lLusitania there came cries of ''Y cure
yellow. Bob" and Put him out" In
istantly there was great confusion, but
above the uproar the senator shouted:
q. Senator Ready for Fight.
n ANY man who says that in an audi
,ence like this is yellow himself I'll
take care of any man who interrupts
me if you will give me a chance"
D., What about the Lusita nia 2' some

body shouted and Governor Frazier of
North Dakota, the chairman, had
much difficulty in quelling the dis
turbance that ensued.
"A passenger on a foreign ship car
rying munitions is Systematically in foreign
territory" said Senator La Toilette.
THE citizen who enters such a ship
takes his life in his own hands. L
believe the American munitions max
ers encouraged American citizens to
ride on such ships to give them sem
blance of protection
I'VE are now in the war and we
have got to have finance. More than
$50 leading economists of the country
urged that the nation pay for the war
by surplus incomes and excess profit
taxes But their petition fell into the
hands of the Philistines when it got
to congress and nobody has ever
heard of it.
THE tax bill passed provides for
the CONSUMPTION of only 81 per cent
of excess war profits and after three
years of the richest pickings in the
history of the corporations"
Profiteers Must Go.
A c. Townley, president of the non
partisan league which fathered the
conference preceded Senator La Fol
lette, speaking on THE Next Step
in the Peoples Fight"
He was wildly applauded when he
declared:
The profiteers must be eliminated
before we can force the war to A con-
clusion. They are the countrys worst
criminals. They are realizing enor-
nous profits from the war and that
is the reason why they desire to pro-
long the great conflict"

ECONOMiCCOMBAT
Allies Greater Resources; Ger
many Better Organization.
Ships To Transport Supplies
Essential to Victory.

Atlantic City, N. NJ, Sept 21.-The
war is an economic struggle and ocean
commerce will win it, James A. Far
rel, president of the United States
Steel corporation, told the National
Chamber of Commerce war conyen-
ton delegates today.
The economic struggle began, he
said, when Won Kluck was repulsed
a the gates of Paris, and Germany'S
plans for a crushing blow disrupted
The allies, he pointed out, have far
more resources than the central pow
ers, but the latter's organization and
coordination of all material forces is
pro1ongihg the war.
Farrelemphasized that ships must
be had if the war is to be won.
las an American army abroad
grows in numbers" he said, "the de-
mand for tonnage for it's maintenance
must constantly increase, because
these men must be supplied from the
home base and cannot depend upon
supplies to be drawn from abroad. To
meet this situation the United States.
thru the shipping board, has under
taken a colossal program of ship con-
struction.
Millions Tons Steel.
Here is a new, enormous and i'm
perative demand for steel that must
be met. Production must be stimulat-
ed, millions of tons will be required
for military necessities and the naval
and emergency fleet program.
New ship yards must be built and
thousands of men selected and trained
for the new service, as officers and
crews of the ships that are forthcom-
ing.
The United States is, as may be
seen, definitely launched upon a vast
enterprise of shipbuilding on a scale
which calls for the cooperation and
support of every department of Amer
lean industry and of every productive
interest in the country These ships
may well be the very m ans by which
the war may be won for us and for
our allies
Farrell declared that the government
had not yet succeeded in perfecting
a unified control of tonnage and that
therefore many ships might be wasted
thru a lack of centralized power. He
said similar conditions existed in Great
Britain at the start of the war, result
ing in disorganiZation and loss of eff
cheney. The United States shipping
board, Farrell said, had not sufficient
powers to absolutely control all tom
mage. He praised the British minis
try of shipping with supreme powers
over all ocean commerce.
Must Keep Up Neutral Trade.
In order to win the war, Farrell de-
clared, America must maintain trade
with neutrals, particularly non-Euro-
rean neutrals. Many things essential
to the national life, such as Argentina
wool, Brazilian manganese ore and
Ecuador cocoa are dependent on this
neutral trale. The United States must
also, Farrell urged, o--tinue to supply
| the needs of the Latin-American re-
publics, so their confidence in this ma
| ton may not be shaken.

CONSTIPATION is
A PENALTY OF AGE

Nothing is so essential to
health in advancing age as free
dom and normal activity of the
bowels. 1t makes one feel
younger and frcsher, and fore
stalls colds, piles, fevers, and
other dependent ills.
Cathartics and Purgatives are
violent aad drastic in action and
should be avoided. A mild, eff
fective laxative, recommended by
physicians and thousands who
have used it, is far preferable.
This is the combination of simple
laxative herbs with pepsin sold
by druggists under the name of
DIR. CaldwelvS Syrup PePsin. 1t
costs only fifty cents a bottle; =

WONDERFUL EXHIBITIONS


his blindfold drive, and accompany
ing feats on Monday afternoon. The
streets in front Of the theatre end
over the business part Of the city
were literally packed when the per-
Torrance began, and the results ac-
complished by Prof. Fayssoux we're
extremely interesting, not to say
startling.
Beginning at $3.50 o'clock, he
made his announcements as to what
he would do. The management Of
the theatre selected a committee,
composed Of Mayor G. p. Faw, DIR.
II. M. Cass, w. A. Hart and f. w.
I'IIoss, representing the StaffD
These gentlemen went to u back Of
wee where they wrote a letter to
Smith Anderson, of the City Shoe
Store; no one knowing to whom it
was addressed, or its contents, ex-
eept the committee. The letter was
sealed in an envelope, stamp piac-
ed on it so that it would be difficult
to distinguish from an ordinarily
mailed letter, and no address was
placed on the outside. This letter
tbs committees placed in postoiffce
box No. 81 and secured the key from
Postmaster Mountcastle A number
of other letters were also placed in
the box with it. Incidentally box 81
is on the very top row, and Prof.
Fayssoux being of small stature, it
would be difficult for him to reach.
The committee then drove through
various streets, stopping at several
places as a "blind" to throw off a
few people who were following the
carriage; but finally, unnoticed,
threw the key by the side of an un-
paved street, near a pile of lumber,
and into an uneven surface Of
clods and rock, into a lumber yard.
During all this time, Prof. Fays-
SIOUX having been tightly blindfolded
by DIR. Cass, was left in an Office
near the theatre, in charge of police
officer Carmichael, who had been
selected by the committee to guard
him.
Returning, the committee allowed
Prof. Fayssoux to do the driving,
tightly blindfolded. while they ST.
lently rode in the carriage, followed
by several hundred in cars, on BIZ
cycles and on foot. After driving
down Main street, the hypnotist
turned up Buffalo street, carefully
and correctly observing the traffic
laws of "Driye to the Right" at all
corners, lodging automobiles and
other vehicles, and slowing up for
railroad crossings. Near the Sum-
mers- Parrot Hardware Company, he
stopped the carriage, got out, and
led the committee to the exact spot
where the key had been thrown,
picked it up without the slightest
hesitation, not even searching the
ground or feeling around for it.
Again getting in the carriage, he
drove to the postoffice, led the citi-
zens committee into the building,
stepping on the curb and running
up the steps, although blindfolded;
went direct to lock box No. 81, and
unlocked it. From the several let
ters in the box, he selected the prop
er one, returned the others to the
box, and then drove straight to the
City Shoe Store and delivered the
letter to Mr.. Anderson in person, al
though there was a crowd in the
store at the time; telling him he
got it from Box No. 81.
If it was telepathy, it was truly
wonderful; if it was "trick" it
was still wonderful
Prof. Fayssoux will be at The
Tabb Theatre soon. Watch Ger On
