ALLEGED CONFESSION
FROM MASTER MIND
OF Chicago Bombing Ring, the Hidden
Hand in Mysterious Feuds.

Chicago.-The master mind of Chi
cago's bombing ring, the hidden hand
in scores of mysterious feuds
that involved dynamite and terrorized
| the city, is under arrest, police say.
With him are eight other men, all
said to be professional bombers and
heretofore thought to be immune
from capture. They all received a ter.
rifle blow when Andrew Kerr, police
say, confessed his part in the out
RACES end named II other men. The
eight under arrest with him are in the
dozen that he named. The alleged
confession is story of terror. 1t
strips the protective covering from
the men who have been working in
the dark and merely shrugged their
shoulders when questioned about
bombs. The reputed confession re-
veals that the bombing ring conducted
an organized business members could
be hired to take part IN strikes, race
troubles or political feuds.
If anyone had grievance against
another he could call in Il bomber, po-
lice assert, just as persn1 would EN-
ploy detective or retain an attorney.
They have regular schedule Of rates
where two sticks of dynamite are
used the charge is $500; if four sticks
are used the charge is advanced 10
$3.50, and if six sticSs are used the job
costs $500, according to officials. For
plain sIugging" $50 is said to be the
charge.
Penitentiary sentences loom for all
the prisoners if the revelations i'll
Kerrs alleged confession carry convic-
ton in Court, it was said. Kerr has
told Chief of Police FitZmOrris, to
whom he is declared to have confessed,
that he will repeat his story before a
grand jury. Kerr admitted, il is SAID,
that he had been the go-between for
bombers and sluggers.
On certain occasions he went on
bombing excursions, he is quoted as
having said.

burning and the tipple was threatened.
Kindleberger, the troopers and num-

Washington.-A definite statement
outlining the conditions upon which
the United States would extend recog-
milton to the Oregon Government OF
Mexico has been prepared for sub.
mission to President AlvarG Oregon.
This statement, in the form of q
memorandum, it was said, will be de-
livered to Obregon by George T. Sum-
merlin, counselor of the American EN-
bassy at Mexico City, who is expected
to leave for Mexico this week
Mr.. Summerlin was summoned here
a month ago by the Secretary of State
to give first hand information con-
corning the situation in that country.
The conditions for recognition, it ia
understood, practically are Identical
with the recommendations made by
Secretary Albert B. Fall IN his report
at the last session of Congress as
chairman of a subcommittee of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee,
which investigated the Mexican ques-
ton.
The important feature of the COM
municaton is said to be the insistence
that Obregon must sign a document
giving assurances that Americans and
their interests will be safeguarded
properly in Mexico before the United
States will consider the resumption
of formal relations with that country
If such assurances are given, it is
believed that Henry 2. Fletcher, Under
Secretary of State, who was ambassa.

Wilson administration, until he re.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
it's remarkable record of success
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble 10 80
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

mention this paper.-Adv.

also was still in session. but had re-
turned no indictments against strik-
ing employees of the road. If a YER
dict is not reached in the Fairfield

K. Hall, so, former engineers; Alt
Smith and D. V. Myrick, former en-
ployes of the A, B. & A.
A verdict in the Fairfield case,
now with the jury, was expected to-
day. After this case is disposed or
25 others charged with interfering
with employees" will go to trial, one

is Mayor j. L. Pittman, Of Fitz-
gerald.
The grand jury investigating the
death of Engineer Reed has not COM
pleted it's work at the close Of last
nights session, and was expected

indicated today that a number of
others would be heard.

OTTON CROP CONDITION
SHOWS NO IMPROVEMENT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-"Cotton
showed little or no improvement dur

in very poor to poor condition." &C
cording to the weekly review Of crop
conditions contained today in the ma

Unreasonable weather continued in
the cotton belt, rainfall being unprec-

southwestern counties of Texas,
where great damage was done. Plants
were somewhat revived by rainfall,
however, in other sections of the
state, the report said.
In eastern localities the hot and
dry weather continued to halt the

Cotton was reported very poor

possible improvement" Progress was
generally poor in other sections of
the belt. according to the review.
Bolls were said to be opening fast
generally with picking and ginning

and eastern districts, but harvesting
was considerably interrupted in many
western sections by rain.
Rain also delayed harvesting of rice

While corn was reported mostly

Sugar beets made good growth I'M

The blood IS more important than
any of the organs. 1t is thru the
blood that the whole human body is
directly or indirectly nourished. The
blood gets it's nourishment from the
intestines. The intestines also con-
tain waste products-undigest
foods, acids, gases and refuse, which
sometimes get in the blood.
When vase products get in the
blood, nature will strive to cast them
out. If your resistance is strong
enough, nature will probably sue
coed. But if you are below par"
weak, rundown, and nervous, natt,re
will begin to show signs of distress.
AS a result, you will have that
feeling of fatigue. You will lack the
energy you need for the days duties
and pleasure. Minor ailments will be-
gin to affect you-pimples, black
heads, and boils.
If the waste products are not got
