TAKE NO CHANCES

Commissioners Seek Speed

in Asking Funds.

Although an appropriation for an
increased water supply for the Dis

the Army bill. the District Commis-
sioners decided to take no chances
and to ask for the improvement in
their deficiency estimates.
Engineer Commissioner Kutz point

deep concern the Commissioners have
in the water situation.
We feel the situation is SO serious
that everything possible should be
done to expedite legislation that will
safeguard Washington against a
water shortage" said the Commits

should be held over until the regular
session OF Congress, and. accordingly.

The Commissioners will be satisfied

Army bill in the same form that it
passed at the last session. subse-
quently falling when the President
gave the Army bill a pocket veto."
Their position is that work on q
new conduit should be started with
the least possible delay, and the first
measure that can be gotten through
Congress authorizing the improve
ment will be the best one. whether 1t
be Army legislation. District de-
ficiency appropriation or some other

SUNDAY BASE BALL WINS
AND BLUE LAWS LOSE OUT
Baltimore Manager Acquitted of
Sabbath Game Charge-Crowd
Starts Demonstration.

BALTIMORE. April 15.-Blue laws,
as far as they apply to Sunday base
ball. were given hard blow here
yesterday. when jury in criminal
court acquitted Jack" Dunn. manager
Of the Baltimore International League
team. Dunn was tried under an in
dictment based upon the fact that
Sunday games have been played at
Oriole Park. When the foreman of the
jury announced not guilty" as the
verdict the large crowd in the court
room started a demonstration, which
was silenced by Judge Duffy.
The same law under which Dunn
was indicted provided for the death
penalty for those convicted of bias
phemy,' according to Joseph n. Ul-
man, of counsel for Dunn, in his clos
ing address. That same law, said
Ulman. was written into the stat
ute books of the state at a time
when they branded and burned men
for slight ofrenses and hanged some
people because they thought they
were imbued with supernatural
powers.
Mr.. Ulman pleaded with the jury to
cast aside and declare it is obsolete
and without effect under conditions
such as exist at the present day.

Indian thunderstorms are VIGOROUSLY

by such an electric convulslon AS can
scarcely be imagined by those who have
only seen that phenomenon in temper
ate climate.
1t generally begins with violent blasts
Of wind, which are succeeded by floods
OF rain. For some hours lightning Is
seen almost without intermission; some
times it only Eliminates the Sky and
shows the clouds near the horizon: at
others it discovers the distant hills. and
again leaves all in darkness. when in an
instant 1t reappears in vivid and sue
cessive flashes and exhibits the nearest
objects i'm all the brightness Of the day
During all this time the distant thunder
never ceases to roll and IS only silenced
by some nearer peal. which bursts on the
ear with such q sudden and tremendous
crash as can scarcely fail to strike the
most inscnsible heart with awe"

occupied during his term as governor
and moved to the Pavilion where he will
be quartered during the remainder of
his stay in the capital. Governor Glenn

here in addition to his Rutland resi-

he went there instead of going to the
hotels Governor Clement made a rec
ord of having been ION the job most of
the time.
Governor Graham was obliged to be
here more than any previous governors
because of the extra war work. and may
have been in town more days than Gov
ernor Clement. Still without making
an actual check-up of their days spent
at the state house, it is probable that
honors are nearly equally divided be-
tween them in this respect. One thing
very noticeable during Mr. Clements re-
gime was that he could arrange to come
to the capital on short notice and was
always within reach. During the fight
for suffrage he played close to the bases

Former New England Woman
Making Home in California

From her home at 272S East Colorado
street, Lamanda Park. California. Mrs.
Il. A. Leonard, who has many friends
throughout New England writes an in
teresting letter regarding her experiences
with pain. In her letter she ordered one
dozen bottles of Mysterious Pain Ease,
so-called, and says: Il have used it III
the East and | feel l cannot be without
it, | have a friend who has a lame
knee. | put some Mysterious Pain Ease
on it two or three times. She was 50
much better from this that we want
plenty of Mysterious Pain Ease on hand.
1t is the most valuable hniment l ever
used"
This Mysterious Pain Ease mentioned
in Mrs. Leonards letter is q Scotch Lin
iment. 1t acts in such q way that it
relieves inflammation which causes pain.
In fact when they first started to use it.
its effects were so quick in the relief of
pain that people really thought there
was something mysterious about it.
Hence it's name, given it by the thous-
ands of people whose pains it has re-
lieved
Many people, both men and women,
in all walks of life, heartily endorse it.
They recommend it for pains of neural
gia. neuritis. sciatica, muscle cramps,
chilblains, and pains arising from in
Examinations, rheumatism, sprains of all
kinds, lumbago, burns, stiff neck, and
muscular colds where the shoulders,
ckc~t and back muscles are in pain.
MYSTERIOUS Pain Ease is sold by most
leading druggists. ANY druggist can OBJ
tain it froiA his jobber.-Adv.
