all personal responsibility in relation
to the liquor question, the past year
has been season of establishment,
or as the boys would say, They had
another think coming In his re-
port DR.. Owen took up the topics of
Sunday legislation, saying that the
annual attempt to start the entering
wedge in the Sunday laws received
little support; the censorship of NOV
ing pictures. saving that there should
be no respite on the part of friends
of the League for clean pictures; and
enforcement in Maine. IN regard to
which he referred to the disposition
of officials TO pass the buck from

Prisoner Ponzi
Nav Face Court
on Larceny Charge

Boston. April 20.-The proposal to
bring Charles Ponzi, now federal
prisoner, before the state courts for
trial on charges of larceny growing
out of the collapse of his quich-rich
scheme was considered today by Judge
Fessenden of the superior court.
The Judge said he was inclined to or
der Sheriff Earl p. Blake of Plymouth
county, Ponzi's jailer, to obey a writ
Of habeas corpus issued by thu supe-
rior court to produce Ponzi. The sher-
iff has held that as Ponzi is federal
prisoner he was not permitted under
the constitution to obey q writ Of
habeas corpus issued by state court.
Judge Fesscnden inttmated that II
Sheriff Blake refused to comply with
the writ he would be adjudged in con-
tempt, but before imposing sentence
said he would give him an opportunity
to seek relief in the United States court
by applying for restraining order.
In that way. Judge Fessenden said,
an interesting question might be set
tied.

THE REASON WHY

bia from $25, 100000 to SIS, 100000
was rejected So to %.
Senator Borah, Republican. Idaho,
was defeated 40 to 80 in an attempt
to insert a clause declaring that pro-
visions of the treaty could not be
taken as implying that the United
States aided in the Panaman revolt
or violated any treaty with Colombia.
In the roll calls on Senator Borah's
amendment three Democrats voted
with SO Republicans. on the first call
and with q Republicans on the Sec
ond call. Nine Republicans who
first voted for the Borah amendment
later voted in opposition. These
were Dillingham;, Vermont; Fernald'
Maine; Keyes, New Hampshire;
Laid, North Dakota; Lodge, Massa-
chusetts; Mckinley, Illinois: Spencer,
Missouri; Sterling, South Dakota and
Sutherland, West Virginia.
A murmur swept the chamber when
Senator Lodge changed front on the
amendment. The mild demonstration
had occurred when he supported II
on the first call. Senator LaFollette,
Republican, Wisconsin. who support
ed most of the amendments proposed
voted loudly in the negative on the
Berah amendment. The final vote
ended days of debate, the treaty
by agreement having been taken up
by the Senate Immediately after the
converting of the Sixty Seventh Con-
gress in extraordinary session. Or
ponents of ratification composed
largely of what is known in the Sen
ate as the progressive Republican
group, were vigorous in their denun-
citation of the pact throughout the dis
cussion. They declared that its ac-
ceptance would place a stain on the
name of Theodore Roosevelt, would
be a useless squander of public
money and would amount to COM
piiance with "a blackmail demand on
the part of Colombia"
Senator Lodge who with Senators
McCumber of North Dakota, Borah
of Idaho Brandegee, Connecticut,
and Fall, then a senator from New
Mexico, joined in adverse report
against the treaty as negotiated in
the foreign relations committee in
1917 led the fight for ratification. His
change came long WIN Ihat ol othet
Republican senators from opposition
to the original treaty to advocacy of
the amended pact was one of the
points of attack by the Progressive
Republican group.
Supporters of ratification declared !
that the treaty would improve the re-
lations of the United States with |
I attn American republics. would sat
isfy demands equitably made by Col |
ombia, and would aid the United
States in the world quest for oil.
Democratic senators for the most
part refrained from discussion, Sena-
tor Pomerene of Ohio. a member or

from American government agents
abroad dealing with the movement of
emigrants to the United States.
1t was stated in an Associated
Press despatch last night that MIR.
Hughes had made such a recommen-
dation and he also was quoted as
saying that our restriction on immi-
grafton should be so rigid that it
would be impossible for most of these
people to enter the United States

Armenians, Jews, Persians and Rus

AS matter of fact that quotation
appeared in paraphrase of a report
from the American consul at Tifis
relating to people in that district
which was among a number of SIM
liar reports transmitted to the House
and Senate immigration committees
by Mr.. Hughes after Chairman john
son of the House Committee had
asked for information on the subject.
Publication of extracts from the
government reports was the subject
of discussion today in the House.
Representative Chandler, Republi-
can, New York, who formerly was
counsel in the United States for Let
va and Lithuania, took exception to
an official government report which
said that Let's and Lithuanians seek
ing to leave for the United States,
were largely people from the slums,
the vast majority of them Jews of
the undesirable type" He declared
that whoever made that report com
municated to this government that
which is absolutely false"
II do not believe that Mr.. Hughes
authorized this or any similar report"
said Mr. Chandler. 1T came from
abroad. Mr.. Hughes is too big and
noble Drained to consent to anything
of that kind
Chairman Johnson said he thought
Mr.. Hughes had read all of the re-
ports before sending them to con-
gress and that he knew that he had
signed the letter of transmittal.

Gland Treatment
Helps Ex-Fighter
To Hold His Job

Just took right hold of me and built
me up. I'm on my third bottle now,
and my cough has left me, my in
digestion has disappeared. my
strength has increased wonderfully.
and I don't seem to mind hard work
at all now. Giandex certainly is a
great tonic, especially when it comes
to building up people. 1t certainly
did me a world Of good, and I never
get tired Of recommending 1t to peo-
pie"
From everywhere come equally remark
able reports of how Giandex Compound is
helping people to regain health and
strength. Where other tonics and medi-
cffies fail people say that Gandex brings
almost unbelievable results, especially in
the treatment of loss of strength, ner-
vousness, sleepiessness, poor blood. thin
ness. low vitality. poor appetite. prerna-
ture old age and general run down" con-
ditions.
Feeds Run Down Glands
The reason for these remarkable results,
II appears. is that Giandex Compound
builds up rtin. down glands which scter-
lists have found 10 be the cause Of most
run down conditions.
Our glands. we are told. supply q mys-
FERROUS secretion. called hormones, which
Is vitality necessary to the building UP OF
the billions of muscle, brain and nerve
cells in our bodies. Thus, when our glands
become rundown. the supply of hormones
slows down and our bodies suffer AZ a re-
suit. Giandex helps build up rundown
glands by feeding them with gland ex-
tracts taken from the glands of healthy
sheep and cattle. 1t works on practically
the same principle as the famous mon
key gland treatment, except that an oper-
alton is unnecessary
If YOU are weak, thin, rundown, ner-
vous, an@mic, or if you are suffering from
loss of vitality or premature old age it is
recommended that you try Glandex Com
pound. which in addition to containing
genuine gland extracts from sheep and
cattle contains iron and other health
buildsxs well. 1t is guaranteed to
bring entirely satisfactory results after a
short treatment money refunded. For
sale by good druggists everywhere.-Adv.
