These symptoms simply mean
acid-stomach. If allowed to run
on, they are very likely to cause

often the direct cause of those
almost iucurable conditions
known as catarrh OF the stomach,

TREATY COVENANT
TO Be PARTY ISSUE
RUMBLINGS OF DISCoN
TENT IN G.. o. p.
Controlling Element in Senate
Determined to Oppose
Any Treaty Made.

Washington. June 18, - There are
rumblings of discomfort among the rank
and file of the republican party over
peace re negotiations. It is now clear to
every one that the controlling element
in the senate has determined TO oppose
whatever treaty may be mace. ~
has decided to make the treaty ana
league covenant a-party issue compaI-
ing whatever may be done by TINS gov
ernment's representatives in Europe.
A great many republicans resent THIS
great piece of folly on the part OF the
leaders of their party in congress, ano
now and then some individual OF mat
party interposes most strenuous oD1ec-
ton, but the party policy will continue
to be one Of opposition to any league
A republican took it upon himself to
deliver a lecture to the individual re-
publican members OF the senate m, ny y
republican from the ranks. who assumes
to lecture the great and towering posses
of his party, is r. J. Caldwell. 30 Riv-
erside Drive, New York CITY,. Deeply
chagrined over the attitude OF the re-
dictionary senator's Of his party. he in
closed with his letter of protest sig
nificant and pertinent cartoon from the
New York World entitled: Cheer UP,
Fritz, / won't Sign It." In that cartoon
the republican United States senate is
represented ny IL pl6 man ooSNiA.e
hesitating German with the peace treaty
before him and pen in hand, that MS
fears are groundless, as the republican
senate is standing by as friend In
dire need. ~
Mr.. Caldwell intended that his letter
with it's cartoon enclosure should go
to republicans only. but by some kind
of error one of these letters was adj
dressed to Senator Mcclellan, and the
Tennessee senator took the liberty. OF
giving this letter out for publication.
The letter is as follows:

only misfortune is that 1t dignifies your
action on the league of nations by the
attention It devotes to it at the risk

the foregoing foreshadow open rebellion

ing this, as Marshal Witt was ap-
pointed by the president at the in
stance of Thomas w. Gregory, for
merly a member of the Wilson cabi-
net. The amount of pressure behind
this appointment may be seen from
the fact that Witt was one of half
dozen men given recent appointments
by the president just prior to the
latter's sailing from Hoboken, March
5. Nearly all other appointments
were compelled to await the recon
vening of congress and hundreds will
not be made until the presidents re-
turn.
The attitude of the two senators
will be that Wits appointment made
it particularly embarrassing. for them
owing to outstanding promises to at
least two other candidates. The com m,
promise to be suggested will probably
involve another job of equal importance
being found for Witt. since he has
been a friend and supporter OF both
Shields and Mcclellan. AS the presi-
dent usually stands behind his. appoin
tees it Is not pT9osane that esns M,fs
since he is on the job and rendering
good service Senator. Shields has, i
is understood, removed his objections
to District Attorney Douglas reap
pointment.
The appointments have been held UT
for periods ranging from two years 10
three months. This constitutes a new
record in the handling of federal pat
ronage for the state. District Attor'
ney Douglas and Marshal Thompson
have served practically half of theil
second terms while waiting for the pat
ronage melon to be cut.
Douglas new commission will
run four years from the time he Is re-
appointed, so he loses nothing by the
delay.

NASHVILLE ON EVE OF
ANOTHER ERUPTION
r U M O. RS OF CUSTER
AGAINST MAYOR.
Criminal Judge and Pastor of
McKendree Have Been Do
ing Some Silent Work.

Nashville, June l9.--(Special.)--
What promises TO exceed In sensa-
tional developments even the famous
Nashville probe OF 1856, which
ended with the killing of Harry
Stokes. prominent local attorney, is
the rumored and practically assured
custer suit to be brought against
Mayor William Gupton and other city
officials at an early date.
Some weeks ago, Judge J. d. b.
DeBow, DIR. j. ID. McAlister, formerly
OF the Tennessee Antisaloon league,
and others versed in the political af-
fairs OF Nashville brought a number
of stool pigeons here for the purpose
OF working up dope" on the sale of
bootleg liquor in Nashville, and also
to shadow Mayor Gupton and Chief
OF Police Barthell. Federal authori-
ties suddenly put an end to the oper-
atoms of the stool pigeons by nab
bling some of the alleged Operatives"
who were transporting liquor In vio-
lation of the law.
Then followed the custer talk,
which is fairly well authenticated at
the present. Mayor Gupton is de-
FAINT in his attitude toward the
"probers," whose latest act was to
send delegation of deputies and
experts to examine the books and
financial records of Judge Madison
Wells. OF the city police court. This
though no one will take the credit
for starting or backing 1t.
Yesterday It became known that
the examination findings will be
turned over to Atty Gen. Frank M
Thompson for action and 1t was
stated on good authority. despite de-
NAL by Gov. Roberts, that Judge
Frank Fancher, of Sparta, has been
secured as prosecuting attorney fol-
the "probers," whose identity re-
mains an apparent secret, though
several well-known attorneys ant
political characters have been openly
named as being identified with thu
movement to throw Nashville int
the biggest political turmoil the cit,
has ever known.
| The inclusion of several high stat
| officials lends a statewide aspect I,

! foreseen happening occurs In tn
| near future to mar the plans of tn
