Great British Fleet
For Pacific VIII Be
Urged by IeIIicoe

WA&HIEGTCN, u. CA tor;ui-
dabIe British fleet in the pacific and
Indian oceans will be recommended
by Viscount Jellicoe when he returns
to England and reports his tour of
naval investigation of the British
dominions
This fleet will be recommended to
consist of eight battleships of the
latest type, eight modern battle cruis-
ers ten light cruisers, forty destroy
ers and about forty submarines, it
was said.
The expense Of construction and
maintenance of the proposed fleet
would be borne in part by the Brit
ish dominions concerned and the &C
ceptance of the plan is at their dis
erection.
Viscount Jellicoe has been on his
tour of inspe 2tion since last Febru-
airy. He and his party will leave
Washington this afternoon for Ha-
vana, where they will sail on the
battle cruiser New Zealand. 1t is
tentatively planned by Viscount Jel-
licoe to visit South Africa before re-
turning to England, and this might
result in a recommendation for a
fleet in African waters, where only
a squadron is now maintained. Great
Britain has two f1eets--the Atlantic
and Mediterranean.

several citizens questioned him and
Immediately demanded that he leave.
Complying with their requests, ne
started walking down the railroad

and beating hi mterribly. SO badly
beaten was he, his mental faculties
were unbalanced and he wandered
aimlessly about. Police officers at
Michigan City took him in custody
and it was only after he had been
in Jail for twenty-four hours that he
was able to give any account of him

AMERICAN CITIZEN
KILLED BY MEXICAN
OFFICER At TUXPAM

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-GabrieIe
| Porter, an American citizen in the
| employ of the Penn-MeX company,
was shot and killed by Mexican
federal army officer at TuXpam on
| December 81, according to advices
received by the state department to-
day from the American consul at
Tampico.
The consul Immediately was order
cd to report further information and
if the circumstances warranted to
urge the local authorities In the Tam
pico district to arrest and punish
the guilty person.
This makes a total of twenty Amer
leans killed in the Tampico district
by MeXicans since April, 1917. Eight
cen of them were employees of Amer
lean oil companies.
The Mexican authorities first re-
ported Porter had been accidentally
shot by a companion returning from
a dance. Investigation by the Penn
Mex officials and by the American
consul was said to have developed
however, that he was shot by an
army officer. Porter's home was in
Fullerton, Cal
The Mexican government has
been called upon by the state
department to use every means
possible to apprehend and pun
ish the murderers of F. j. Roney
and Earl BoWles, American oil men
in the Tampco field whose deaths
were reported yesterday. They were
employees of the International Pc
troleum company and were supposed
to have had the company's payroll
when they were killed.
First word of the killing of the
two Americans, which brought the
total of American citizens murdered
in the Tampico district since April,
1917, up to twenty reached Wash
ington through private sources. La
ter the state department announced
the receipt of similar advices and
outlined the steps which had been
taken by the department in the case.
The departments informa ton, which
came from the American consul at
Tampico, said the bodies of Roney
and Bowles, who were employed by
the International Petroleum compa-
ny, were discovered yesterday.

PALMER DEC'I|. ARES
PACKERS iRE: Still.
LIABLE IN COURTS

| WASHINGTON, Jan. THE big
| five packers are still subject to GRIM
| inal prosecution or civil suits de-
| spite their agreement with the gov
| eminent to get rid of their side lines,
Attorney General Palmer told the
senate agriculture committee today.
Mr.. Palmer, who drew the agree
ment with the packers, denied en-
| phatically that he had promised them
| immunity.
Il could 90 into court tomorrow.
either civilly or crimnally." said Mr.
| Palmer, "if L were convinced that
was the wise thing to do for'the pub
| lie good. Nothing in the ARRANGE
ment with the packers precludez
prosecutions for their past illega!
acts"
Mr.. Palmer also declared he had
not promised the packers immunity
from further legislation.
But in view Of your agreement
with the packers, will you prosecute
them?" asked Senator Norris.
81 have never said so before" re-
piled Mr.. Palmer, "but 1 do not in
tend to prosecute them. Under the
circumstances 1 should doubt the
propriety of it,"
Mr.. Palmer said that in his opin-
ion no new legislation is needed
now.
81 should like to see this plan
tried out" he said, referring to his
agreement with the packers. 81 do
not promise that it will Immediately
mean lower meat prices; some of the
packers contend that their agree
ment to observe the law means re-
duction of the efficiency of their
organizations, upon which lower
prices depends; but if we have d.
stroyei in part this efficiency, we
have also destroyed the autocracy Of
their system"
Mr.. Palmer declared that if the
packers do not abide by the injunc-
ton which is to be issued as part
of the arrangement, he will at once
hale them to court on contempt pro-
Ceedngs and force their obedience.
Asked why butter, eggs, cheese and
poultry were not included in the
decree, Mr.. Palmer said these prod
ucts were handled under refrigera-
ton and normally belong to the
butcher business. He explained thar
the decree will allow the govern
ment to force the packers to quit
handling them, if it is thought wise
or necessary.
Senator France, of Maryland
clashed with Mr.. Palmer, when he
said:
Here are multi-millionaires sus-
pected of committing a crime, and
they, through an agreement with
the government, are practically
granted immunity, while this very
day the spies of the department of
justice are going about getting ev;-
dence against poor, misguided labor
leaders. VIII they be allowed to
make an agreement and get away?"
Mr.. Palmer angrily retorted that
lit lies in the mouth of no man, high
or low, to say that the present at
torney general is respecter of per
sons when it comes to enforcing the
law
He cited his course in the coal
strike to prove this, saying he could
nave put the strike leaders in jail
under criminal law, but chose to re-
sort to an equity suit as better for
the public welfare
Mr.. Palmer said he drew up the
terms of the agreement after packer
representatives had come to him anc
expressed q desire TO conform to de-
sires of the government so far as
they could.

test your strength again and see for yourself
how much you have gained. You can talk

also a great nerve and stomach strengthener
and one of the best blood builders in the

forms of inorganic iron like tincture of iron,
iron acetate, ETC., often ruined peoples teeth,
upset their stomachs and were not assimilated
and for these reasons they frequently did
more harm than good. But with the discov-
cry of the newer forms of organic iron all
this has been overcome. Nuxatcd Iron, for

In many instances says City Physician
persons have suffered for years
without knowing what made them
feel tired, hstless and rundown
when their real trouble was lack of
iron in the blood-how to tell.
RI you were to make an actual blood test
on all people who are i'll you would prob
ably be greatly astonished at the exceed
ingly large number who lack iron and who
are i'll for no other reason than the lack of
iron. The moment iron is supplied a multi
tude of dangerous symptoms disappear.
Without iron the blood at once loses the
power to change food into living tissue and
therefore nothing you eat does you good; you
don't get the strength out of it Your food
merely passes through your system like corn
through mill with the rollers so wide apart
that the mill can't grind. As result of this
continuous blood and nerve starvation, people
become generally weakened, nervous and ali
run down and frequently develop all sorts of
conditions. One is too thin; another is bur
dened with unhealthy fat; some are so weak
they can hardly walk; some think they have
dyspepsia, kidney or liver trouble; some can't
sleep at night, others are sleepy and tired all
day; some fussy and irritable; some skinny
and bloodless, but all lack physical power and
endurance. In such cases, it is worse than
foolshness to take stimulating medicines or
narcotic drugs, which only whip up your fag-
ging vital powers for the moment, maybe at
