Gray hair, however handsome, de-
notes advancing age. We all Know
the advantages of youthful ap-
pearance. Your hair is your charm

it fades, turns gray. and looks
streak ed, just a few applications OF
Sage Tea and sulphur enhances its
appearance a hundredfold.
Don't stay gray! Look young!
Either prepare the recipe at home
or get from any drug store a bottle
Of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound." which Is merely the old
time recipe improved by the addi-
tion of other ingredients. Thousands
Of folks recommend this ready-to-
use preparation, because II darkcns
the hair beautifully; besides, no one
can possibly tell, as II darkens SO
naturally and evenly. You moisten

drawing this through the hair taxi
ing one small strand at a time. By
morning the gray hair disappears:
after another application or two its
natural color is restored, and Il be-

conference OF international union Of
ficials declares that the railroads OF
the United States have been so close
ly organized that they stand as a
unit in all relations between the rail-
roads and the workers: that they
have declined to meet the workers in
conference, and that this Is an evil
dence of a purpose TO destroy trade
unionism and is Identical with the So
called open shop movement in the
steel and other industries.
This, the resolution declares, is in
direct violation or the letter and
spirit of the transportation act OF
1920. AS the railroads are seeking
through the Winslow Townsend bill
additional financial benefits from the
Treasury. the resolution denounces
the bill as unjustifiable and requests
the President of the United States to
withhold his approval of this bill. II
the President should veto the bill the

traffic. The men attached to the local
office were too we'll known to attempt
a stop to the traffic in the hotels. Mr..
Stone said. so he decided to bring in
men who were unknown here.
The usual plan for obtaining
whiskey in the hotels, according to
the prohibition agents, is TO enlist
the aid OF one of the bellboys, who
usually carry a good stock OF whiskey
or know where IL can be obtained
readily. The usual price paid for
whiskey In the hotels. the prohibition
men said, was between S15 and $50 a
quart.
BELLBoYs AS ALLIES.
In some Of the hotels bootleggers
had rooms reserved. AS soon as they
would get settled in the hotel and
their trunks, which were full OF
whiskey, were sent to their rooms.
they would select one OF the bellboys
for an ally. This bellboy would
obtain customers and would be paid
commission by the bootleggers, also
getting substantial tip from the
thirsty patron.
One of the agents at downtown
hotel was served with whiskey by a
woman. She explained the bellboy
to whom the agent had given the
order had been arrested four times
before for selling whiskey and that
he was afraid the next time he was
caught he would be sent to jail, so
that all he was doing was getting
the orders, and she was delivering the
whiskey.
Director Stone said today he was
going to insist upon a speedy trial
and that all the trials be conducted
together, so that his men would not
have to be running back and forth
between Washington and Ohio.
Lieutenant Sheetz. Sergeant Gray
and Detective Rhone assisted in the

er's objection to having another pris-
oner as his keeper has called attention
to a novel condition at Newfane Jail.
When Jailer H~ NJ. Burke was taken to
a hospital for treatment the institu-
tion was left without head.
John Corcoran, one of the prisoners,
sent word to a Brattleboro newspaper
that Samuel Boyd. fellow prisoner,
had been placed in charge and that
prisoners had gone on a strike to
obtain food.
High Sheriff F. L. Wellman, OF Brat
tleboro, said today that while Boyd,
in the emergency, had been given GER
tain responsibilities, he was never in
charge.
A substitute and later a successor
to Burke have been on duty, the
sheriff said, but he added that Boyd
had performed duties of which he
would not have approved. The pris-
oner was given the keys to the cells,
released and confined other prisoners,
took them out on working parties and
in other ways helped out.

JOHNSON PREPARES
FOR B. R. 7. BATTLE
Senator Takes Charge Of New
York City's Fight on Trac-
ti0n Ruling.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-"I am here
because l think the cause OF the
people against the traction interests
Is right"
This was Senator Johnson. reply
to a score of inquiries directed to
him by newspaper correspondents and
others yesterday as he assumed
charge Of the citys fight against the
efforts of Governor Miller and the
traction ring.
The Senator has instilled in the
city authorities new hope. new con-
fidence, new enthusiasm. The Miller
fare grab is in for stiff fight.
Everybody in the law department of
the city is on the qui vive.
Just before he left for his hotel
last night Senator Johnson was ques-
toned by group of newspaper men
who had been waiting to get word
with him:
"Are you more convinced than ever
that you are on the right side?'
Absolutely. This conference was
rot necessary to demonstrate that
TACT. bul all very t''e tam '"'NpN
that the right is with ue."
Certain newspapers have been in
sinuating that Senator Johnson had
no part in the traction fight in San
Francisco that brought about munich
pal ownership of a part of the trac-
ton system on the basis of hve-
cent fare. He was asked:
What part did you have in the
fight?"
Senator Johnson replied:
Briefly, / was Governor OF Cal
ifornia at the time. Mayor Rolph
brought about municipal ownership
and did it magnihcently. | went to
San Francisco and helped him. I
also addressed public meetings called
in the interest OF municipal owner
ship. The municipal line is under
control of the City of San Francisco.
The fare is five cents. San Francisco
never had any other than a fve-cent
fare that / am aware of"
The Senator said he did not care to
discuss the editorials appearing in
some newspapers. He added:
However, the attempt of the New
York Times to distort this into a
political fight ought to meet with
well-merited rebuke from everybody.
