Voters Of Alabama to Decide Issues at the Polls 70 day
Was Suspend- ed Throughout State Last Night, All Headquarters Closed and Managers Have Gone Home to Vote. Many Ballots By Mail.

 Montgomery, May f0.-- Special )-- Alabama democrats will cast the great est vote in the states history since tho adoption of the new constitution and certain elements were disfranehised in the primary Tuesday according to tho general opinion in official circles to- night
 lt will be no surprise if 175,000 votes are cast due to the great interest in the two races for United States sena- tor. Countless thousands of ex-service' men have been registered without the payment of poll taxes under d consti- tutional amendment adopted last No- vember. In addition, d large number of members of labor unions have reg stered in order that they might ex- press a choice in one of the races. Reports from Jefferson county are that the county will cast between 22.OOo and 24,oOo votes.
 Campaigning was suspended through out the state Monday night. The cor rupt practice act of 1915 prohibits cam paignipg on election day, prevents newspapers from carrying any politi- cal advertising and prohibits workers and lookers-on from gathering about the polls. Except for the news columns person would not know Tuesday morning that Alabama was about to name two United States senators and other state and county officers. A democratic nomination is equivalent to election in Alabama
 No campaign statements were forth coming from any headquarters Monday night. Practically all have closed and the managers and clerks gone home to vote. Alabama is trying out the absent voters law for the first time In Montgomery alone more than 500 ball. lots have been mailed to the chairman of the committee.
 The only unusual incident of today came from Russell county. Attorneys for l.. Fl. Boykin, probate judge and, candidate for recollection. obtained from the supreme court an order pre-, venting election officers from taking his name off the ballot and from re- fusing to count the votes east for him. They acted on reports that an op- ponent would attempt to remove his name from the ballot on the contention that he had not filed an expense ac- count five days before the primary as required by the corrupt practice act.

 Senator Nelson, republican, Minns- sota. criticized the proposal to extend to the Philippine islands provisions regulating coastwise trade and requir- ing it to be entirely American owned. Such provisions. he said. would put the people of those islands in a straight jacket" and would mean that none of those islands products could be brought to this country ex- cept in American ships.

BONUS SUBSTITUTE | WITH SALES TAX ELIMINATED, PLAN Other Tax Provisions Would Be Extended Over Three
 Years Under New,
 Agreement
nu A..ooIa..a bed.

By ASs0clate0 freSx
 Washington, May 10.--Republican n1em- bers of the House ways and means com
 mittee agreed today to bring in sub stitute for the soldier bonus bill with the proposal for 1 per cent tax on sales eliminated as a means of raising the necessary funds. Other tax pro- visions of the bill would be extended over three years under the agreement. Under the new bill, compensation for home service is reduced from s1.25 to $l for each day of service, while payments for foreign service remain at $1.25 a day. Payments would be made for service from April $, 19l7 to July 1, 1919, under the new bill, instead of from April 6, 1917. to January 1, 1920. as under the pending measure.
 Payments of the cash bonus would be- gin April I, 1921, and be continued in twelve quarterly installments. The four options for the cash bonus-home or farm aid, paid-up insurance and tuition for education-would have a 40 per cent increase in value over the cash bonus, under the substitute measure, instead of being determined on a basis of si.75 a day for each day of service.
 The plan of reclamation of land so as Ito provide farms was changed in the sub stitute bill to eliminate the $100O loan and also to reduce the authorization for carrying out the scheme from $500 Oo0, GOO to s250,o00,000
 The republicans estimated that ap- proximately $400.O 900 in the cost of the original measure has been eliminated. and that the remodeled bill would call for a total expenditure of sl. 400,0o0,0oO. Taxes levied by the bill would become effective next December and would in- clude the increase on incomes, tobacco and real estate sales and a new levss on stock and grain exchange transan-
 tions
 ! Chairman Fordney of the committee
 said tonight that the new bill would re-
 move much of the opposition in repub-
 lican ranks resulting from the original
 proposal to raise some of the revenues through sales tax. The new measure will be offered to. the House as com promise. and Mir Fordney said a eau GUS probably would not be necessary

VIOLATED REGULATIONS


 Admiral Sims statement that just prior to sailing for London he received the "ex- plicit admonition,' ''dont let the British pull the wool over your eyes; we would soon fight them as the Germans. re- ceived considerable attention from the Secretary. If the admiral considered the words explicit yadmonition, he violated three sections of naval regulations III making them public. MT. Daniels de clared.
 ', The committee had heard eleven of the twelve members of the general board Tncluding Admiral Sims, MT. Daniels said, NN-nd every one except the author of the ] charges had ''flatly denied their correct ness or justice
 The testimony of other officers ill possession of firsthand knowledge, Secl etary Daniels testified, should be accepted by all open minded men as an absolute refutatien of practically all of Admiral Sims charges"

CHARGES UNFOUNDED

'"The most serious charges made by Ad- nlral Sims are without foundation, and the others are unjustified Upon his as- sumption of what he calls errors and small foundation os facts, Admiral Sims has erected a towering structure of ex- aggeI ation and misrepresentation
 Ths admiral, MT. Daniels said, desired to accept the King of England's offer that he become an honorary member or the British admiralty and wrote com painingly'' when the department de- clined to allow him to accept the appoint ment. Sims coveted foreign decorations and apparently placed more value on them than on honors his own govern nlent could bcstow, MT. Daniels declared, and in public speeches minimized the Limited States part in the war and gave . maAlniem Of credit to the British.

SIMS FELL SHORT

Admiral Sims did not wholly measure Aup to expectations during the war, MT. z Daniels told the committee.
 Secretary Daniels scored Admiral Sims for having made public his letter en- titled some naval lessons of the world war which brought about the investiga- ton. The letter should never have been made public until the general board had passed on it, he said, adding that Ad- miral Sims "could not have chosen a more ostentatious and well planned man. ner of securing publicity
 The fact that not one life was lost in transporting the army to France was answer to most of the criticisms heard by the committee MT. Daniels declared, and added that had he known facts de- veloped during the investigation, he would not have recommended Sims to Congress for life commission as full admiral

RECIPE TO CLEAR
 A PIMPLY SKIN
PfnpIes are Impurities Seek ing an Outlet Through
 Skin Pores.

Pfmples, sores and bof1s usually re- suit from toxins, poisons and impurt- ties which are generated in the bow els and then absorbed into the blood through the very ducts which should absorb only nourishment to sustain the body.
 It is the function of the kidneys to filter impurities from the blood and cast them out in the form of urine but in many instances the bowels ere ate more toxins and impurities than ehe kidneys can eliminate, then the blood uses the skin pores as the next best means of getting rid of these impurities which often break out all over the skin in the form of pimples.
 The surest way to clear the skin of these eruptions, says a noted author ity, is to get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of hot water each morning before breakfast for one week This will prevent the forna- ton of toxins in the bowels, It also stimulates the kidneys to normal ac- tivity, thus coaxing them to filter the blood of impurities and clearing the skin of pimples.

THINK MEXICANS DESCENDED FROM
 CHINESE TRIBE
Recently Discovered Cary mgs Lend Strength to
 Belief

Mexico City. Feb. IS. - Hierogfy- phfcs recently discovered on the foundation zones of the pyramids of San Juan Teotihuacan 27 miles northeast of Mexico City may solve the problem which has perplexed his torians and archeoEogists for cen turies as to the true origin of the Mexican nation. These strange carv- ings are said by some authorities to be Chinese, thus tending to bear out the old tradition that in the dim past wandering tribes from China crossed to a new continent, settled within the present boundaries of Mexico and became the progenitors of the race which now dominates this republic.
 So interesting are the recent dis coveries that the Bureau of Anthro- pology has been instructed to con- duct vigorous research and in this connection Fong Tsiang Kuang, charge d'affairs of the Chinese lega- ton in Mexico, visited the pyramids and stated that the hierogEyphics were similar in many respect to cer- tain symbols now in use by the Chi nese. He declared the words 'tSun," City and Eye" were clearly de- plcted- Mexican anthropoIogists who have interested themselves in the dis covery have declined to pass final judgment until further excavations are made and more evidence ob- tained.
 The pyramids of San Juan Teoti- huacan as well as those in ChoIula. in the state of Puebla are among the oldest marks of primitive habitation to be found in the republic They stand as colossal monuments to peo- pies whose history was as obscure to the conquering Spaniards in the 18th century as to present day historians Because of their general construction some authorities believe they are the handiwork Of the Egyptians who in some mysterious manner crossed the seas and denoted their places of permanent habitation with these stone and cement structures which are even larger than the more famous pyramids of Egypt
 The little village of San Juan Teo- tihuacan which in the Aztec lan- guage meant ''City of the Gods' was in the early days of Aztec history the scene of extraordinary religious cere- monies The two pyramids, one dedicated to the Sun, the other to the Moon, are known to have been the tombs in which hundreds of tribal dignitaries were buried and excava- tors have exhumed wrought stone containing human bones, obsidian knives, terra cotta heads with broad faces and flat noses, fragments of rare pottery and great numbers of arrow-heads. One of the most recent and most valuable discoveries was a Jadeite mask of some past monarch with the brow covered with the dia- dem known to early Mexican history The pyramid to the Sun measures 761xT21 feet at the base and is 216 feet high; the one to the Moon is i x426 feet at the base and is 1 1-- feet high. They both contain numerous chambers and their several stories are complete temples in themselves but connected by winding stairs.

FOOD
 AGENTS SEIZE
 BEAN SHIPMENT
Canned Beans Being Sold Under Misleading
 Labels

Washington, D. C., Feb. 1S.-Seiz- ure of large shipment of canned
 beans, labeled as "Red Kidney Beans'' but which were long cranberry beans, was made recently in Chicago on in formation furnished by the Federal food inspectors. Officials of the Bur- eau of Chemistry, United States De- paEtment of Agriculture, who are charged with the enforcement of the Federal Food and Drugs Act have received information that large quan- titles of fSe low-priced long cran- berry bean have been put up under the label of the high-priced red kid ney bean and are being sold to con sumers at the higher price. 1nspee- tors have been instructed to report for seizure all shipments so mis- branded coming within the turfsdic- tion of the Federal Food and Drugs Act.
 The long cranberry bean costs the canner only about half as much as does the red kidney bean, yet inves- dgation has shown that when the long cranberry bean is sold under the label Of the red kidney bean the price to the consumer is as much as that of the genuine red kidney bean.
 The canner is able to sell the 1nis- branded red kidney bean to the trade at a lower price than the genuine red kidney beans command and still make a large profit. since he pays only about half as much for the long cranberry bean. The honest canner who packs the genuine red kidney bean is forced to meet the unfair competition of the Eower-prieed pro duct masquerading under the same name as the higher-priced one. The cut in price which the canner makes to the trade is of no benefit to the consumer, since investigation has shoWn that the retailer charges as mach for the LnisbHanded article to the consumer as for the genuine.
 The long cranberry bean, which is imported in large quantities from Ja- pan, is an excellent article of food, and there is no objection to it's sale and use under a truthful label. say the officials The bean looks and l tastes very much like the genuine red l kidney bean, and if sold under it's | own nane could soon establish a | market on its own merit, but because | US cost IS so much less than the red | kidney bean, it's sale under the name | of the higher-priced bean is deEnor- alizing to the trade. and unfair to the customer. The officials have inaugu- rated a campaign Io seize all inter state shipments of beans which in this particular violate the Food and Drugs Act
