GERMAN SPIES
 ON EVERY HAND
 TERROR RE!CNS
Great System of Kaiser's Terrorizes Belgians and thousands are
 Falling Victims
SENTENCE FOR DEFENSE

LONDON. June 5.-A Belgian gen tleman of high social position, who has just arrived in London. after having escaped from Belgium, where he realized he was in extreme per il, gives terrible account of the German so-called judicial methods which have produced veritable reign or terror, in many respects resemb- ling that at the time of the Inquisi- ton.
 "In a vague way" he said. the world knows something of German military tribunals. but l doubt if it is realized that something like 1000 citizens are condemned every month for patriotic offenses. During the three months preceding January last, fOrty-two death sentences were in flicted in one court alone. Nobody who has not gone through it can realize the extent of terror which prevails, owing to the methods em- ployed by the German secret police, and for obvious reasons very few people are able to give any precise particulars. Only those who, like myself, have narrowly escaped the clutches of the German spies and agents, have some knowledge of their methods.
 "A German sergeant was ordered to arrest franc tieurs" in the early days of the war, but as he was un- able to find any. and not daring to present himself to his chief empty handed, he simply arrested the first unoffending peasants he met on the road This sort of thing now hap pens daily in the campaign of per secution directed against the pa triOtS"

AGITATOR CASE IS
 DISMISSED; WRONG
 POINT IS TAKEN

PETERSBURG, June 1. - On complaint sworn out by H. II. Grazer, A. Aren had a hearing be- fore U. s. Commissioner Allen yes terday afternoon on the charge of being German agitator," says the Report. Arens, Grazer and 12 other men came in last Sunday from Port Walter, where they had been employed on building work by the Alaska Pacific Herring com 1any. Arens was arrested Monday, and procuring bail bond, returned 70 Port Walter and brought in witnesses for the defense. Accord ing to the testimony of the wit 1esses, Aren's behavior had been luiet and orderly, and the charge against him was brought about through ill feeling engendered in settlement of a strike.
 It appears that some of the carpenters and helpers had last week struck for increased pay. The advance, it is claimed, was yranted by the company, after which further demands were made by some of them, and not being aceded to, a dozen of them quit The job. They made the trip to own on scow in tow of the tender Pelican, and it was claim ed by the defense that Arens was practically forced by the men to accompany them; further. that he was subjected to abuse on the trip which eliminated in his jumping overheard when preparations were being made to brand him with hot iron. They were at that time in Frederick Sound, and Arens be- ing seen from the tender strug- ding in the water, Captain E. Boe put back and picked him up.
 It also developed that Arens is not of German nativity, but was born at Buffalo, U. s. A.
 There being nothing brought out at the hearing to justify trial, he commissioner dismissed the mat ter.

REOPENINC OF
 MEXICAN MINES
 IS UNDERTAKEN
Ore Output Will Soon Be Up to Production as When the Times
 Were Normal.
WILL REOPEN SHELTERS

MONTEREY, Mexico, June ,. - A revival of mining and smelting in Mexico is evidenced by the reopen ing of offices long closed Compania de Minerales y Metales, one of the largest American-owned companies operating in Mexico, has re-establish- ed it's headquarters here, and expects 1t was in normal times.
 Twelve officials of the American Smelling & Refining Co.,, have ar rived to reopen the plat at Matehua- la and the shelter at Aguas Calien- ,es, which are expected to be in full operation July 1st. The working force will be brought from Chihua- hua.
 It will probably be several months before the twelve large smelters in Mexico are again in full operation even should there be revolutionary disturbances in the meanwhile. It s necessary to bring in large ship ments of coke. To do this, additional railroad equipment will have to be provided. Coke is now being import ed from Birmingham, Ala, by way of Tampico.
 Before the general cessation of the mining operations approximately 160,- 900 tons of ore was produced here daily This required about 6,400 cars for transportation. The large Tor reon shelter, owned by the Madero interests, and operated from time to time during the last two or three years by the Carranza government, is expected to be turned back to it's owners and placed in commission shortly.

Discovers There Is Always
Zero Weather on Mars

Princeton. n. j.. Jan. 9.-Evidence
that the temperature of Mars is always
below zero and that unless some cause
not yet understood operates to make
1t warmer, the existence of life on the
planet is improbable, is the subject
matter of a recent paper published by
Professor Henry N. Russell of Princeton
University.
The professor also has located a GER
tain kind of twin stars in the heavens
which keep very close together and
go around one another, eclipsing one
another in the course of each revoIu-
tion. Mr.. Russell has been studying
the stars for the last ten years and
has computed the orbits of more than
a hundred. His most recent work gives
the exact orbit of the two pairs, on
which he has made more than $4,000
observations. In one case it was found
that the fainter of the two stars here
tofore supposedly a dark body was
actually brighter than the other stars
of the pair. Some of the stars are
said to be so bright that If the sun could
be placed in the front of one of them
and the two viewed together the sun
would look like a dark brown spot
compared with the brilliant white of
the star.

ALIEN RESIDENTS
ARE GIVEN RELIEF
Interesting Decision Given To-
day by the State Compen-
sation Board

The State Workmans Compensa-
tion Board in an opinion handed down
to-day by Commissioner James w.
Leech decides how compensation to
dependents of a deceased workman
shall be divided when one is a resident
of another country. An employe or
the II. C. Frick Coke Company was
killed in October, leaving one daugh-
ter in this country and one in Hungary,
both under ten years of age. Tie
weekly wages of the father was
S15.6S.
The opinion directs that the de-
fendant company shall pay to the
guardian of the daughter in this coun-
try burial expenses and s1.96 per week
until she attains the age of sixteen
and to the guardian of the daughter
in Hungary S1.30 2-3 until her older
sister reaches tie age of 16 when the
alien daughter is to be paid S2.61
until she becomes 16.
In an opinion by Mr.. Leech in the
case of a miner of the Lehigh Valley
Coal Company who was injured and
whose employer claimed that the value
of supplies should be deducted from
gross earnings, the board finds that
1t is fully satisfied that there was an
implied contract competent and suffi-
cient to establish the existence of a
contract such as the act contemplates
and that the company is entitled to
the offset claimed.

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Bachache is sign you have
been eating too much
meat. ,-.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been
eating too much meat, says a we'll
known authority Meat forms uric
acid which overworks the kidneys
in their effort to filter 1t from the
blood and they become sort of par
alyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste.
else you have backaehe, sick head
ache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours,
tongue is coated, and when the wealth
er is bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine is cloudy, full of sediment,
channels often get sore, water scalds
and you are obliged to seek relief two
or three times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable
physician at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize acids in the urine SO it no
longer irritates. thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
vescent Whitewater drink.

Messing the slaughter of twenty-eight
tubercular COWS condemned in GER
titled dairy.
His complete statement, which led
to the first radical action even under
taken by the federal government to
suppress the diseased animal indus
try, bears the date of Oct. 20, 1914,
and reads as follows:
Il am astounded over the things
which Mr.. McCann led me to this
morning. Congress knows nothing of
the food situation of this country.
The ignorance of the nations law
makers with regard to the things that
| saw to-day is deadly. If we could
lead all the members of Congress in
one body through a six-day excursion
such as / was led through to-day,
there would be an uprising at Wash
ington such as only threatened war
might inspire.
II Is peCduS6 the representatives OIL
the people have not seen the truth
for themselves that they are fooled
into state of passive indifference
while all around them these horrible
conditions flourish.
Il saw to-day the slaughter. under
federal supervision, of twenty eight
tubercular cows which by mere acci-
dent had been weeded out of New
Jersey certified dairy and intercepted
by the government on their wa to a
group of New York butchers.
Il saw the punches of tubercles in
the lungs, bronchial tubes, liver, and
intestines of these animals.
Il saw the government veterinarians
condemn the carcass of a diseased
beast that had been supplying our
children with milk certified by twelve
eminent physicians.
In other pens of the Jersey City
stockyards / saw cows in such a de-
plorable physical condition that it
seemed to me they should have been
shot on the spot and burned. These
very cows were on their way through
interstate commerce from New Jersey
to New York to be butchefed and
consumed as food.
"'These cows said one of the ed
eral officials present, in response 10 a
question put by me, are undoubtedly
diseased. None of them are fit for
if killed in federal inspected estab-
lishment. But we cannot hold them
because physical examination does
not disclose sufficient evidence on
which to make seizure.
If we were to condemn any of
these COWS. and it were found on
post-mortem that they were not
tubercular, we would simply be up
against it. We are unable to take q
chance, although our judgment tells
us that it is pitiable to see such ami
mails pass through our hands into the
food supply of the country.
We have no right to interfere
unless we know to a certainty that
the animal is suffering from an in
fectious, contagious, or communicable
disease. Even if we did take pos
session of these cows in order to keep
them out of interstate commerce.

owners could take them from us
