The Key that Unlocks the Door 10
Long Living.

The men Of eighty-five and ninety
years, of age are not the rotound, well
fed, but thin, spare men, who live on
a slender diet. Be as careful as you
will, however, a man past middle age
will occasionally eat too much of
some article of food not suited to his
constitution, causing Indigestion or
constipation and will need a dose of
Chamberlaih's Tablets to move his
bowels and invigorate his stomach.
When this is done, there is no reason
why the average man should not live
to a ripe old age. All Druggists.

DEPEW STILL HAS FIRST 500.

Breircliff, N. Y, Sept. 17.-Some-
thing reminded Chancey M. Depew of
bank accounts to-day, and in the
course Of his remarks on the subject
at Briarcliff, he told about a 500
savings account which he managed to
scrape together 60 years ago and left
in the Peekskill Savings Bank as in
surance against rainy day.
:" ] forgot all about it." said Depew,
"A while ago / was up to the bank
and asked if / had anything on deposit
there. The bank officials told me my
old account of 500 was still there
and it had multiplied to $780,"
Depew said that so far as he was
concerned the account could keep on
getting venerabler and venerabler. He
has an old account in the Westchester
County Bank but that is just what it
was fifty years ago-$87.50.

Missionaries and courts martial

welfare of the people of Haiti with
the approval of the Secretary of the
Navy Edwin Dehby
In separate orders yesterday,
Secretary DENLY approves of plans
by the federal council of churches
for evangelization of the Haitian
natives by American missionaries
and directed the substitution of
American military courts martial
proceedings for the Haitian courts
in the trial Of persons accused of
instigating disorders. bloodshed, or
rebellion, or of libeling members Of
the Haitian government or the
American military forces in the
island republic.
Secretary DENLY said that for
several months in view of ap-
preaching elections, the columns of
the Haitian press have been illed
with speeches of an incendiary
character against the American oc-
cupation and against officers en-
gagged in enforcing the law. Hal
tian courts, he said will not CO ret
any person for libel or incitiIs re-
bellion, or disorder. This has en-
boldened agitators until denuncia-
ton has mounted to frenzy.f

ENGINEERS AGREE
ON TERMS TO END
MARINE STRIKE
Secretary Davis, Benson
And Lasker Sign Pact
With Union.

THE marine strike is ended
Secretary of Labor Davis announced
last night.
The announcement came after a
day of conferences between Mr..
Davis. Admiral Benson, retiring
chairman of the shipping board, and
A. d. Lasker, who was yesterday
sworn in as chairman of the board.
The agreement was signed by
Admiral Benson. Mr.. Lasker. w. L.
Brown, president of the Marine En-
gineers Beneficial association, and
Secretary Davis. Last night Mr..
Brown notified all locals of his or
ganization to return to their posts.
which they left on May 2, when the
shipping board put into effect a
wage reduction of Is per cent.
Other Unions Ignored.
Private shipowners were not a
party to the agreement reached
yesterday, nor were organizations
of ship cooks and stewards, common
seamen, oilers, and firemep, all Of
whom are on strike. The marine
engineers are the most skilled and
indispensable of the marine work
ers, however, and it is generally
conceded that other organizations
will have to follow their lead If
they return to work.
AS the shipping board owns four
sevenths of the American merchant
shipping, private owners probably
will accede to the agreement.
Pact Recognizes Union.
The engineers were jubilant that
they have secured what they claim
to be a point against which both
Admiral Benson and the private
shipowners held out for weeks
recognition of the union.
This recognition was not made
a normal part of the contract" said
President Brown. but to sign an
agreement with US is the same as
recognition"
The same view that recognition
had been accorded the union was
expressed by Secretary Davis.
The terms of the settlement prac-
tically are the same as originally
proposed by lhe shipping board.
and refused by all unions of sea-
men. They include: Fifteen per
cent reduction in wages; total abo-
lition of overtime; reduction Of
shore allowances from $3.50, a day
to So for engineers, with CORES
ponding reductions for other crafts
In commenting upon the agree
ment, Secretary Davis said:
Had the moderate counsels of
President Brown prevailed at the
beginning of the strike, a settle
ment would have been reached A
month ago which would have been
at least 6 per cent better for the
seamen.
1T was the radical counsels of
two leaders that prevented an
agreement and betrayed labor as
radical leaders invariably do"
Brown refused to comment on the
threat of the New York local TO
oust him from Office. IN signing the
agreement, he said, he felt that he
had obtained the best terms possi-
BILE.
Private shipowners will be in
vited to sign the agreement to-
day.

to be acting under orders from
Warsaw to liquidate the rebel move
ment at the earliest possible mo-
ment. the armed mining and farm
ing population will interpret his
conciliatory attitude as Treason TO
the popular cause, observers are
lconvinced.
Back Bone Lacking.
Murmurs OF dissatisfaction at
Korfanty's leadership. which is de-
scribed as lacking back bone, are
common in the insurgent camps.
Many group commanders have come
to general headquarters for the pur-
pose of pointing out that there men
are SO disgruntled that an attempt
to deprive them of their arms would
be like playing with fire.
One group sent a deputation to
tell the aigh commission that the
men will abandon the front, de-
| stroying everything in their path

tinue to play their tricks with for

BRICANDS GOES ON
TRIAL FOR GRIMES
Leader of Spring Rebel.
lion and Hero of War
Before Court.
Especial Gable to The Washington Herald
and United Nevs.l
Nv J0HN CRAITnENy


BERLIN, June 1s.-In a court
room guarded by a strong force of
armed men, the leader of the Ger
man revolution of the early spring.
in which many were killed and huge
property and industrial losses en-
tailed, is now on trial for his life
Holtz. the red.
Holtz is the man who led German
workmmen in the abortive uprising
which required the struggling Ger
man government to drop its other
work and throw all its energy to
fighting enemies within the state.
This prisoner stood insolent and de-
fant in the guarded courtroom to-
day, charged with nearly every
crime in the calendar. including
most of the capital crimes. He got
his country into complications with
the entente and his acts eventually
exerted an influence on the course
of the allies in dealing with Ger
many.
Fear Mob Action.
The authorities have an active
fear that survivors of Holtz's up
rising may make an attempt to de-
liver thO PiioohSA W oh otsoSA va
the court. The movement is dis
persed, but not necessarily extinct.
Eighty charges, including brigand-
age, robbery, high treason, and MUIR
der are being heard. But Holtz, in
stead Of answering questions in the
manner of a defendant, declared:
Il consider myself the plaintiff
against the bourgeoisie"
Holtz made a record of patriotic
service during the war. The prose-
cution made no attempt to gainsay
this.
Denies Murder Charge.
"I am not guilty of murder" said
the revolutionary leader. II merely
placed myself at the head of the
workers movement. The workers
did not abuse their power. They
never robbed-they merely confis-
Gated"
Holtz had to admit that he threat
ened to exterminate the bourgeoisie
entirely if the revolution succeeded.
But this was merely a bit of STRAIT
egy meant to intimidate his social
"enemies," and there was never any
intention of carrying it through.
even though he had found himself
in a position to do so.
Holtz denied also that the revolt
was either Instituted or financed
by Russian agencies.
