This Simple Laxative
A Household Necessity
DR.. CaIdUeRs Syrup Pep
sin Should Haze a Place
in Every Home.

Constipation, or inaction Of the bowels,
a condition that nearly everyone expert
ences with more or less frequency, is the
direct cause of much disease. When the
bowels become clogged with refuse from
the stomach, foul gases and poisons are
generated, and unless the congestion is
quickly relieved the system becomes
weakened and most susceptible to attack.
Various remedies to relieve constipa-
ton are prescribed, but many of these
contain cathartic or purgative agents
that are harsh and violent in their action
and shock the system. The most effective
remedy is the combination of simple
laxative herbs with pepsin that is sold in
drug stores under the name Of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin.
The Hon. John d. KeiSter, of Brandy
wine, w. Va, who has represented his
district in the state legislature for six
years, writes that he uses DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin and finds it splendid
laxative, easy to take and mild, yet posi-
tive in it's action, and that it should be
in every household for use when needed.
DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin is sold by
druggists in all parts of the United
States and costs only fifty cents bottle.
1t contains no opiate or narcotic drug,
does not grippe, and is recommended as

TELLS HOW WOMEN
OF TORPEDOED SHIP
DIED OF EXPOSURE
Minister Gives Account Of
Death of Aged Mrs, Hoy, Her
Daughter and Others Who
PeriShed in LaConia Lifeboat
(By Associated Press }

LIVERPOOL, Feb 2S-The Rev. F.
Dunstan Sargent, of Grenada, British
West Indies, a passenger on the Laco-
MIA, who administered the last rites of
the Roman Catholic church to seven vic
Tins, gave to the Associated Press today
the following account of the death of
Mrs. Mary Hoy and Miss Elizabeth Hoy,
of Chicago, and Cedric p. WATT, of Lon
don:
Mrs. Hoy died in the arms of her
daughter. Her body slipped off into the
sea out of her daughters weakened arms.
The heart-broken daughter succumbed a
few minutes afterward and her body fell
over the side of the boat as we were
tossed by the huge waves.
I'm icy water up to her knees for two
hours, the daughter all the time bravely
supported her aged mother, utterinS
words of encouragement to her. From
the start both were violently sea sick
which, coupled with the cold and expos
ure, gradually wore down their courage
They were brave women"
Father Sargent continued: THE first
to die in our boat was w. Irvine Robin
son, of Toronto. After his body had been
consigned to the sea we tossed about for
an hour, getting more and more water
until the gunwales were almost level
with the sea Then Mr.. Ivatt, who was
not physically strong. succumbed in the
arms of his fiancee, who was close be-
side him, trying in vain to keep him
warm by throwing her wealth of hair
about his neck.
Even after he died she refused to give
him up, and although the additional
weight made the situation more danger
Gus for us all we yielded to her pitiful
pleading and allowed her to keep the
body. 1t was taken aboard the resculng
patrol, from which it was buried. The
burial aboard the patrol, at which l Of
ficated, was a solemn and memorable GER
emony.
THE Hoys were next to pass away
after Mr.. Ivatt. Then a fireman died
and later two others of the crew who
were too thinly clad to resist exposure
Altogether, we were in the boat ten
hours. We were rescued in the middle
of the morning"
Father Sargent said his boat was bad
ly damaged in launching and began to
leak At the start their boat had three
feet of water, which increased steadily.

YARTER AND ROGERS
IDENTIFIED BY BOYKIN
AS z HOLD-UP NEW
Former Is Placed Under S5,-
600 Bond by Judge 7. O.
Hathcock Following TeSti-
mony of PaymaSter

W. Jerome Yarter. ex-policeman. was
bound over under $1,000 bond to the SUI
periOr court Wednesday morning on the
charge Of committing the Boykin rob-
berry for which ". w. Boots" Rogers
was last week put On trial
Yarter's preliminary hearing wednes-
day before Judge T. O. Hathcock in the
municipal court, developed a sensation
when A o. Boykin, paymaster of the
Martel Manufacturing company. and the
man who was robbed December on
Lang avenue. testified that both men
committed the crime.
Yarter. declared Mr.. Boykin, held a
gun in his face and told him to throw
up his hands, while Boots Rogers
cracked him over the head with a billy
and took away the satchel containing the
money. He was positive in his identifica-
ton OF both men.
With this testimony, the case now
resolves itself into a peculiar tangle.
Rogers. whose arraignment resulted in
a mistrial. declared he heard Yarter
confess the robbery to Mrs. Viola Tyler,
when be, with City Detective APT Camp
bell and John Starnes, listened to them
talk through photograph installed in the
next room at Mrs. Tylers home, As East
Mitchell street Yarter, through his
attorney, Harvey Hill, denies all knowl-
edge either of the robbery or the alleged
photograph episode And now Paymaster
Boykin accuses both men of the rob-
berry.
1t had been supposed that if Mr.. Boy
kin identified Yarter as the holdup man,
this Identification would clear Rogers of
the charge. Instead, while the paymas-
ter's testimony duplicates Yarter as
deeply as il does Rogers. he was so pos
tive in repeating his identification of
Rogers. that the pair of them must now
answer TO the charge on which they
have hitherto been separately arraigned.
The municipal court was crowded
Wednesday morning when Yarter was
tried. He was there with his wife and
his little baby and his attorney, Harvey
Hill; Boots Rogers with his attorney,
Governor-elect Hugh Dorsey; Mrs. Viola
Tyler and Harry Young, the tabicab
driver who was alleged to have been in
the room with her and Yarter when
Rogers said he overheard Yarter con-
fess the crime; Paymaster Boykin and
Paymaster Black; A. II. Baldwin, there
with his attorney, John S. Highsmith,
to answer to a warrant accusing him of
robbery; Jack Ogan, who is out on bond
in connection with a charge implicat-
ing him in the Boykin robbery; and
scores of witnesses, including Detec-
tives Starnes and Campbell and Mrs
Ada Bell, a woman who lives near the
Armour plant and who, detectives as
serted, would identify Yarter as the man
who held up Paymaster Black
The first case called was that of w.
II. Baldwin. but il was dismissed when
Solicitor General John A. Boykin an
nounced to the court that the only evil
dence against Baldwin was hearsay. 1t
was not even stated what specific allie
cations were contained in the blanket
charge against him.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Feb. 2S.-Pas-
sage of the additional judgeship bill
through the house has been deferred
until after the prohibition legislation
for the District OF Columbia has been

bill as a means of defeating prohibition
for the national capitol.
Representative Webb, chairman of
the judiciary committee, sponsor of the
judgeship measure, and other members
OF the judiciary committee approved the
defeat of the rule on the strength of
alright assurances from the rules COM
mittee that another special rule for con-
sideration of the judgeship legislation

Senator Watson, Republican Of In

ing the flibuster against the revenue
