Western Union Says State De-
partment Must Prepay Tolls.
Government refused to Allow
Barbados Cable in U. S.
FEAR CONTROL BY BRITISH
First Permit Refused for Fail
ure to Show Contract.
Now State Dept. Awaits for In
ternationaI Conference.

Washington, Nov 16.-The long
standing controversy between the state
department and the Western Union
Telegraph company has reached the
refusing 20 handle any further cable
MESA ges- for the department except
upon prepayment of tolls.
The company's order was issued
November 10, it was said today at the
department, and ostensibly was to ap-
ply to all departments of the govern
ment. 0 1t was understood, however.
that messages sent by other depart
ments had been excepted informally
from the ruling.
The Western Union company is
stated to have based it's action on the
delay by the department in making
payments on cable messages previously
handled. Department officials assert
today, however. that it was in their
opinion step in retaliation for the
failure of the department to permit
the landing of cable at Miami, Fla.
connecting at Barbodoes with a Brit
ish cable from South America.
Several months ago the Western
Union applied for an executive permit
to land the cable a Miami, but the
state department was said to have de-
manded a copy of the contract be-
tween the company and the British
concern owning the connecting South
American cable line. The copy was
not forthcoming, according to state
department officers and the permit
was withheld.
Later a British cable ship which
had been chartered to lay the cable,
was ordered to Miami. AT the sug
gestion of the state department the
navy department sent destroyers to
the Florida port to keep the British
ship outside the three-mile limit.
The British embassy ordered the cap
tain of the cable ship not to attempt
to land the line.
Later William G. McAdoo, former
secretary of the treasury, became
counsel for the Western Union COM
pany and department officers say. he
delivered a copy of the contract to the
department. 1t had been explained
previously that the department before
issuing the permit desired to deter
mine whether the contract between
American and British companies
would strengthen the cable monopoly
held by the British company on the
east coast of South America.
The permit to land the cable still
was withheld, it being officially
stated that action was being deferred
until after the meeting of the inter-
national communications conference
now in session here which is consider
ing the whole question of world COM
munications.

enable him to give his time to the
district attorneys department.
Williams is one of the most widely
known and successful lawyers in
southeastern Kansas. He has been
active in state politics for a number
of years and is known personally by
almost every Republican worker in
Kansas.
Four years ago Williams was a
member of the Big Four to the Re-
publican national convention. He
favored the nomination of Root, but

an enormous practice and he at first
refused to be considered for the APP
pointment. His entrance in the race
will bring to him support of promi-
nent Republicans in all sections of
the state.

Aged, Wrinkled Faces
Easily Rejuvenated

An aged face is often sonly a mask to
comparatively youthful person. Beneath
is a countenance young and fair TO look
upon. It's n simple matter to remove the
mask. Ordinary mercoliZed wax, to be
had at any drugstore, gradually absorbs
the worn-out surface skin; in a week or
two the user has the lOveliest pinky white
complexion ina ginable. An ounce of the
wax usually is sufficient to complete the
transformation. 1t is put on at night like
cold cream and taken off in the morning
with warm water.
This remarkable treatment is invariably
effective no matter how muddy, sallow or
discolored the complexion. Freckles moth
patches. liver spots, pimples, blackheads
vanish with the discarded skin.
To remove wrinkles and flabbiness, here
is a recipe that cannot be too highly rec
commended: Powdered saXolite, one ounce !;
dissolved in witch hazel. one half pint
Use as wash lotion.-Adv.

meal. Sour risings, gassiness, a
heavy bloated feeling and such dis
tress due to indigestion or dyspep-
STA are usually only temporary And
yet they may lead to serious disorder.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets after meals reflects to a
high degree the intelligent selection of
preventative measures.
One cannot always select or in
spect the quality of food to be eaten
nor its method or manner of prepara-
ton. But it is possible to avoid the
acidity that is SO often the result. And
it is a far better plan to eat without
worry over what may happen. than
to starve for fear It will happen.
Many physicians recommend these
tablets for stomach distress due to in
digestion or dyspepsia.
They are sold by all druggists every
where at so cents box.
