MOTHER ACCUSED IF MURDER|NC HER SUN, .
 ALTERS F|RsT STORY

ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. 16.-Mrs Esther Miller Blake, prisoner in the city hospital, charged with the murder of her five-year- son, has aban- doned her story that the child was Kidnapped by two negroes in Ventnor last Friday night, according to Dr. L. R. Souder, county physician. She told the doctor at another interview today that the Kidnapping story was .delu sion"
 I had delusions before and guess I had one this time,' Mrs. Blake re- marked to me" said Dr Souder.
 Mrs. Blake still denies that she threw the child into the ocean from fishing pier, as alleged by the police, Dr. Souder said, but she now tells a different story as to what happened.
 T slipped on a board pavement and in falling struck my head" the physi- clan said she told him. T became un- conscious, and how long I remained in that condition do not know. but when came to was panic stricken and I ran to the nearest house. I was in a frenzy and I do not remember what said"
 Mrs. Blake told me the board waIiS pavement was slippery" continued Dr Souder, but she says she does not re- member whether she was on the board walk or one of the approaches. All she appears to recolleeC was that when she fell the boy ran away from her. She told me that he had a habit of running off impulsively.
 T do not know where he went, bur am positive I did not interfere with him in any way after I fell to the pavement she told me.
 There is no question in my mind but that Mrs. Blake Is impaired men tally"
 The body of the child will be taken to Baltimore tomorrow for burial. The l inquest will be held here Thursday.

WILLIAMS BAY, Wis. Dec. 16.-Prediction of a crash of plan cts tomorrow which might put an end to the world were charac- terized as "the sheerest and most miserable nonsense" by Prof. E. B. Frost of the Williams Bay Obser- vatory today.

 GOv' I. CONTROL .OF RAILS SOUGHT
Director Hines Makes New Recommen d a tions, in keeping With Senate Wishes, to Wilson-Plans Go Forward For Return January 1
LRepubIIcan A. p. Leased wireI


 WASHINGTON. Dec. 16-Debate on the bill embodying permanent legisla- ton to meet the situation with the re- turn of the railroads to private control continued today before the senate, but with senators admittedly still in the dark as to the time President Wilson plans to turn back the roads.
 Director General Hines has sent to the president new recommendations as to ending government operations, but he would not discuss them today and White House officials professed to have no information.
 Believe Return May Be Delayed
 Many senators and some administra- ton offices hold to the opinion that the president will not carry out his notice to congress of last May that government control will be ended by January 1. They think the time of the return will depend largely on the prog ress made by congress on the perma- nent legislation.
 Plans for the return of the roads by the first of the year\are going forward at the railroad administration. Ad- ministration office contracts contain a 30-day release clause so that they may be abrogated at any time without great loss to the government while materials ordered on contracts are be- ing obtained as far as possible before the first of the new year.
 In it's effort to speed up permanent Legislation, the senate held another night session, but there was little pros pect of final congressional action until well after the holidays.
 Amendment Provides for Loans Sharp opposition to some of the pro- visions of the Cummins bill under dis cussion was expressed in the debate | today and tonight. Senator Poindex- l ter, republican. Washington, attacked i the proposal under which the inter- state commerce commission would bt authorized in special cases to permit a lower charge for a long haul thar i for a short haul, while Senator Ere. linghuysen. republican. New Jersey argued provision should be made fol assisting the roads in financing thei | immediate needs after the return. T, that end he offered an amendment tt i permit them to borrow from the gov ernment out of a s500,000,000 revolving | fund.
 | iit oiiciuihSil lS IhenllGsI Nlln l1' | provision of the house bill and wa opposed by Senator Cummins who con tended that congress ought to assum that legislation soon would be enacte, which would enable the roads to bor row rom private sources all the none, needed to meet immediate require
 ments.
 During the day the National Grang
 made public a letter sent to Senate
 Cummins urging that there be n
 further delay in passing the railroa
 legislation, and opposing. any guaran
 tee of dividends by the government
 It also was suggested that the proyi
 sion for new railroad transportatio
 board be eliminated on the ground tha
 the interstate commerce commissio
 could and should perform all the neces
 sary administrative work to give fore and effect to the railroad policy 10 b
 laid down by congress.

CONTINUE CASES AGAINST UNION
 MINER LEADERS
TRepubIIcan A. p. Leased wlrel


 INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 16.-Ex- cept as to Alexander Howat. presi- dent of the Kansas district, of the United Mine Workers of America, charges of contempt of court against S4 officials of that organization today were continued by United States Dis trict Judge A. B. Anderson until such a time as the government or attor- neys for the defense again wish to bring them before the court.
 The case against Howat, who with the other officials was alleged to have violated the federal court injunction against furtherance of the strike, will be called for hearing next Monday morning. He is charged by the gov ernment with continuing in his viola tion of the injunction by using his in fluence to keep a local strike in Kan sas in force. This strike, it was stat ed in court today, was called on July r, 1919, but on October 31, when the general strike of miners became eff fective was merged with all other gstrikes. The government contends that the action taken by the general committee of the United Mine Work CTS here last week. in accepting the proposal of President Wilson to end the general strike, also provided for ending all local strikes and that con- tinuation of them constituted viola tion of the injunction instrumental in keeping them in force. It was declared in court today that an official in the | Missouri district of the mine workers also Is guilty of violation of the in- | junction in keeping in force a strike l of sympathy with that of the Kansas l fields. The Missouri official, however | was not named and no order for his l appearance in court was issued. l It is generally believed that if the 1 miners continue at work that tht | charges against them will not bt ! pushed by the government. Dan w ! Simms, special United States districf | attorney, who represented the govern ment in court today, indicated that i was the opinion of the government that with the exception of Howat ant the Missouri official the miners haC complied with the courts injunction order. but stated that he did not wan the cases dismissed as long as a pos sibility of resumption of the strike re. mained.
 PITTSBURG, Kan. Dec. 16.-Alex ander Howat, president of the miner
 of District No. IA, who is reported t, have been summoned to appear befor
 Judge Anderson on charge of con
 tempt of court, declared tonight tha
 he fears no jail because he has clea
 conscience and has committed m
 crimes. He said:

 and consequently I have a clear con

AS I read the memorandum given out by Attorney General Palmer MT. Guthrie replied. it is proposed to set up a commission with power to fix wage scales and coal prices.

TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or
Bladder troubles you-Salts is
fine for Kidneys.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and Overworks the kidneys in their efforts
to filter it from the system. Regular eat
ers of meat must flush the kidneys occa-
sionally. You must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
acids, waste and poison, else you feel a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache, diz-
illness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful ira glass of water before break
fast for lew days and your kidneys will
then act fine and bladder disorders dis
appear. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with Hthia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate slug
gish kidneys and stop bladder irritation.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoiding
serious kidney and bladder diseases.
