Washington. Nov. 27.--The admin
istration ship subsidy bill sailed in.
to dangerous waters today as the
measure was taken up in the house
for amendments.
Republican leaders who claim
there has been a decided shift of
sentiment their way during the past
few days professed confidence that
the bill would weather the gale and
come to final vote Wednesday
without material change in its es-
sential features and substantially
as President Harding wants it. Sub
sidy opponents were just as conf
dent they would be able to "shoot
the bill to pieces
Indications are the bitterest fight
will come on amendments to be
proposed which would:
Eliminate from the benefits of
the subsidy the Standard Oil com
pany. United Steel Corporation,
United Fruit company, the Gulf Re-
fining-Sinclair Oil company, and
other big corporations which carry
their products in their own vessels.
2-Greatly increase the interest
rate which slipping lines would pay
ON money loaned them. The figure
in the bill is two per cent.
Establishment of more fixed
terms under which the 1,4O0 odd
ships owned by the government
will be offered for sale. AS the bill
stands, 1t is these ships could be
virtually "given away
4-Specify that the government
vessels cannot be gobbled up by
one or two powerful financial COM
binations.

come back to congress every year
with complete accounting and ask
for appropriations to continue the
subsidy. The bill now authorizes
ten-year appropriation, claimed nee
essary by subsidy drafters to en-
able the making of ten-year con-
tracts.
.6-Give farmers and producers
generally throughout the country a
freight rebate of 25 per cent on
goods shipped from interior points
for shipping on vessels receiving
subsidy aid This amendment will
be backed by the western farm bloc
and shows promise Of carrying.
Consideration of amendments will
last through Wednesday and a final
vote on the subsidy taken that
night.
Ambassador Geddes Of Great
Britain, placed a communication be-
fore Secretary Hughes denying that
the British government was in
volved in any attempt to influence
the decision Of congress on the ship
subsidy measure.
Geddes particularly denied that he
or any member of his embassy staff
had made an offer to Matthew
Quay Glazer, one of the editors of

by Special District Judge Thomas A.
Edwards shortly after 1880 today.
Attorneys for the governor will
now present their motion to quash

the demurrer was present.
The demurrer was based on
question OF law. Judge Stuart argued.
The governor can't be charged with
doing or not doing thing not with
in HIS function as governor. Judge
Stuart said.
Robertson Is charged with accept.
ing $4,000 bribe which was split
three ways and with guaranteeing
deposit of $l5O.OOO of state funds In
the Guaranty State Bank, Okmulgee,
to enable II to continue operations,
Judge Stuart explained.
Governor Robertson is charged with
knowing of the insolvency Of the in
stitutlon, the Judge said.
Whether the bank was solvent or
insolvent, II was sole business of the
state bank commissioner and not
that of Governor Robertson and
whether or not state funds should be
deposited In an institution was the
sole business of the state treasurer,
and not of the governor, Judge
Stuart argued.
Stuart admitted the charge and In
dictment against Fred Dennis, state
bank commissioner at the time OF the
failure of the institution in question,
was legal, but you can't indict a
public official for accepting a bribe

clared.
ut is the invocation of the court
to look the indictment squarely in
the face to see If the county attor-

That the alleged bribe was given

HOW DOCTORS TREAT COLDS
 AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is Brisk Purgative With Calo- tabs, the Purified and Re- fined Calomel Tablets That Are Nausealess, Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience that no medicine for colds coughs, sore throat, and influenza can be de- pended upon for full effectiveness until the liver Is made thoroughly active. That is why the first step in the treatment is the new, nausealess calomel tablets called Calotabs, which are free from the sickening and weakening effects of the old style calomel. Doctors also point out the fact that an active liver may go a long way towards preventing influ- enza and colds and is one of tho most important factors in enabling the pa tient to successfully withstand an at tack and ward off pneumonia.
 One or two Calotabs on the tongue at bed time, with a swallow of water that's all. No salts, no nausea nor the slightest interference with your eating, pleasure or work Next morn ing your cold has vanished, your liver Is active. your system is puri- tied, and you are feeling fine, with a hearty appetite for breakfast. Genu- inc Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages, price thirty-fiv cents for the large. family package; ten cents for Nthe small. vest-pocket size.--Adv.
