SEIZE BARREL OF LIQUOR
 BUT CONTENTS ARE GONE

| POCATELLO, Idha, April 14 (by been dry, or supposedly so, for mum. Der of years. The police court record shows, however, that here is suffi' cient quantity of the banned liquids to excite suspicion.
 A tar begrimed barrel appeared on the freight platform of the local sta. tion not long ago. It was consigned to paint company" which, officers discovered, didn't exist. The barrel was examined, and found to contain the banned spirits-regular ten-year- old whiskey, about thirty-five gallons. The barrel was allowed to rest for days in the hope that the owners might be indiscreet enough to claim it. But the officers finally became tired of the watch and concluded to move it. The task was easy. The barrel was unusually light, and when moved from it's position there was disclosed an inch auger hole through the platform and into the bottom of the barrel. The contents had been drawn under the eyes of the officers, days before, and doubtless had been converted into cash.
 For a long time mysterious wom- an with a baby carriage confused the officers, who could not locate the source of supply, until one day the woman proved her own best customer and permitted the baby to remain alone for several hours while she en- joyed a spree with some of her GUS toner's" Under the baby's trapping was the remainder of a half case Of Whiskey.

WAVE0F CRIME
 PERFORMING L0NDONERS

LONDON, Marchp 20 Correspond ence of The Associated Press).- Spectacular holdups, mysterious mur- ders and thrilling jewelry robberies Yard and holding the attention of the Lcndon public. Not for many years if indeed ever-have the authorities been called upon to cope with such a wave of crime as that which has swept the metropolis since the begin ming of the year. While some ar rests have been made and some men punished, the police are hard put to keep pace with tn criminals.
 So frequent have robberies become that London bankers have taken measures to meet possible raids on their cash counters, a proceeding hitherto unknown in the city. All cashiers have been instructed to keep cash out of sight instead of display ing it on bank counters. The police in the neighborhood of important banking houses have been ordered to be especially vigilant, particularly at the lunch hour.
 The prevalence of crime was first called to the attention of the authori- ties when the newspapers made sensation out of the sudden death of "Billie" Carlton, favorite actress, who was found dead in her apart ment the morning after the famous Liberty Ball several months ago. It developed that she had died from an overdose of drug An investigation showed that the practice of drug-tak- ing was increasing in the city and that "opium parties' were not un- common.
 Next the city was startled by the arrest of Lieutenant Colonel Norman c. Rutherford of the army medical corps, charged with shooting to death Major Miles c. Seton also of the medical corps, at the house of the majors cousin, Sir Malcom Seton in Holland Park. The hearing of this case in court has not been concluded.
 Murders of less importance follow ed, each having some unusual feature. The city was again aroused few weeks ago by the published statement

that Major H. E. Clancy, of the Royal Air Force, had tried to kill his aged mother, at Talgarth Mansions, and had then killed himself. Mrs. Chaney was severely wounded, but hopes are entertained for her recovery. Police investigation threw no light on the tragedy so far as the public was con cerned Major Chaney was one of the best known officers of the British air force, having been the inventor of the camera gun with which cadets were trained in aerial gunnery.
 Of robberies there have been many. Holdups have taken place in the West End and in the suburbs at night, wLile scores of houses and apart melts have been robbed in the most clever manner.
 Jewelry robberies have perhaps been the most frequent crimes since the epidemic set in. A number of high C!uSS nave DCCi CHISI Ou III uNJ light by thieves who, on pretense of buying diamonds, have stolen jewels to the value of many thousands of dollars.
 Many causes are assigned for the number and character of the crimes, the majority of them placing the re- sponsibility at the doors of discharg- ed soldiers Police officers from some of the most important American cities are in London seeking international criminals who may have been dis charged from some of the armies. French and Italian officers also are said to be here, each looking for an opportunity to assist in the general roundup.
 Meantime the crimes continue.

BREMEN IN GRIP OF SMALL
 GROUP OF DESPERADOES

BERNIE. April 15 (by Associated Press) An inquiry conducted at Bremen has revealed the fact that the Spartacus-Bolshevi group in that city numbered between 700 and 800 men, writes a Berlin correspondent. This comparatively insignificant num- Der of armed desperados were able to dictate their will to a population of several hundred thousand and to maintain a reign of terror for several weeks before troops sent from Berlin liberate the inhabitants from their tyranny.

WAGES
70 Be MAINTAINED
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM.
MISSION AUTHORIZED BY REP.
BILL TO FAVOR THEM
BY Smell Smith


Washington, March-Provision for
maintaining high wages among rail-
road, telegraph and telephone en-
ployees in order to meet the increas-
ed cost Of living is made in bill to
be introduced at the beginning of the
new Congress by Representative John
]. Esch; of Wisconsin, the new chair
man of the House Committee on In
terstate and Foreign Commerce.
The labor provisio is included in
that part of the measure which re-
lates to the enlarged powers of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. 1t
stipulates "that hereafter in reach
ing its conclusion as to the reas-
onableness Of any rate, fare, charge,
classification, regulation or practice,
the commission shall take into con-
sideration the increased cost of la
Dor and other operating costs, in so
far as they may become material, in
any case under investigation"
That this will actually become law
is considered by members Of Congress
as certain. Each will play the most
important part in framing concon-
struction transportation legislation.
He is expected to thus make way for
protection to labor because he has
the sympathy of his Republican col
leagues. In the Senate it is likely
that there will be no difficulty. There,
Albert j. Cummins, of Iowa is chair
man of the Interstate Commerce
Committee. He it was who single
handed incorporated into the Adam
son law the declaration that labor is
not commodity or article of COM
merce. II.
In what will probably be known as
the most important piece of trans
portation legislation since the Hep
burn act, Esch provides for private
ownership under sweeping federal
control, not only of the railroads, but
of the telegraph and telephone sys-
TENS, oil pipe lines, and private cars
owned by the meat packers. All are
declared common carriers and placed
under the supervision of the Inter-
Williston graphic., 1919-03-27

state Commerce Commission, which
il given power to fix their rates in
the interest sof the public. Il is also
stated to be the duty Of every COM
mon carrier to establish just and rea-
sonable rules, regulations and prac-
tices with respect to car service, and
every rule which Is not just and rea-
sonable is prohibited and hello un-
lawful. Every carrier must file
schedules of car service with the Com
mission. After hearing Of complaint,
the Commission is empowered to
remedy unjust and unreasonable
rules. In case Of emergency it may
suspend all rules and provide car
service during such time as in its
opinion will best promote the inter-
ests Of the public and the commerce
of the people.
Remedies for conditions which the
war brought more clearly to light are
also provided in the Esch bill. The
Commission is empowered to permit
the pooling by the roads Of traffic
and facilities so as to make possible
unity of terminals and ticket offices.
It may also consolidate two or more
roads. It may fix the minimum rate
of charge. It may in its discretion
suspend new rate for ninety days
until it hears the merits Of the case
and determine whether it snail be
continued.
One of the most sweeping changes
made in the bill is it's grant to the
Interstate Commerce Commission of
commissions, to grant hearings to
authorization to harmonize differ
ences between it and State utilities
them, and to use their records for its
information. Another is extension of
authority to the Commission to su-
pervise issues of securities of car
riers, not only in time but in amount.
In this, too, the State bodies arc given
the right to present before the Com
mission such representations as they
deem just for conserving the inter-
ests of their people and their respec-
tive States.
The measure will be taken up by
the committee Immediately after or
ganization and be put through to
final passage, it is anticipated, some
time during the summer. II,

TELLS DYSPEPTICS
WHAT TO EAT
Avoid Indigestion, Sour Acid Stomach
Henrtburn. Gns On Stomach, Etc.

Avoid Indigestion, Sour Acid Stomach,
Heartburn, Gns On Stomach. Etc.
Indigestion and practically all
forms of stomach trouble, say medi
cal authorities, are due nine times
out of ten to an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach. Chronic
'acid stomach" is exceedingly danger
GUS and sufferers should do either
one of two things.
Either they can go on a limited and
often disagreeable diet. avoiding
foods that disagree with them, that
irritate the stomach and lead to ex-
cess acid secretion or they can eat
as they please in reason and make 1t
a practice to counteract the effect of
the harmful acid and prevent the for
nation of gas. sourness or premature
fermentatiouS by the use of a little
Bisurated Magnesia at their meals.
There is probably no better, safer
or more reliable stomach antiacid
than Bisuraled Magnesia and it is
widely used for this purpose. 1t has
no direct action on the stomach and
is not digestant. But teaspoonfu1
tablets taken in little water with
the food will neutralize the excess
acidity which may be present and
prevent it's further formation. This
removes the whole cause of the
trouble and the meal digests natur-
ally and BEAUTIFULLY without need of
pepsin pills or artificial digestants.
Get few ounces of Bisurated Mag
nesia from any reliable druggist. Ask
for either powder or tablet. 1t
never comes as liquid, milk or
citrate and in the bisurated form is
not a laxative. Try this plan and
eat what you want at your next meal
and see If this isn't the best advice
you ever had on what to eat" G. A.
