12.MILE RUM TREATY
PROTECTS INNOCENT
U. S. Must Compensate British
Vessels for Damage From
Improper Search.
GEDDES LEAVES CAPITAL
Signing of Pact Last Act as Am
bassador.

Under a heretofore undisclosed
provision of the liquor treaty with
Great Britain. the United States must
compensate British vessels for any
loss or damage that may result from
improper detention or, search.
The treaty, signed yesterday by
Secretary Hughes and Sir Auckland
Geddes, the British ambassador, does
not become effective until ratifica-
pected that it may be applied in
some measure to smuggling cases
arising before that time.
Under the treaty suspected liquor
smuggling craft under the British
flag would be liable to search and
seizure If intercepted anywhere with
in an hours sailing distance Of
shore. the speed Of the suspected ves-
sci being the measure of distance. In
return for this aid in prohibition en-
for,ement, the United States would
grant to British ships the right to
carry sealed stores of ship liquors
within American waters anywhere
on the same terms that such liquors
now pass through the Panama Canal.
1t is to run for one year at the emu
of which period it can be terminated
on three months notice.
Signing of the treaty, which off,
Gals hope will pave the way for
breaking up the rum fleets off the
American coasts and also eliminate
causes of irritation between the two
countries with respect to ship-liquor
matters and the seizure of British
suspected craft. was the last official
act of Am mbaSSador GeddeS He called
afterward at the White House to pre-
sent his letters of recall and, with
the exception of one or two addresses
in New York before he sails Saturday,
his service in the United States is
over. He left Washington last night
The liquor treaty is expected to be
sent to the Senate Immediately. with
the desire of the President for early
action made known. A provision has
been inserted to cover the contin-
gency that judicial decision or subse-
quent legislative action might make
its fulfillment impossible by either
party. In that event the treaty would
lapse.

LA TOILETTE FILMS WILL
BE SHOWN IF DEMANDED

The La Toilette Wheeler campaign
headquarters has arranged to have a
La Toilette film made. 1t will show
Senator La Toilette in action and IL
lustrate the vital principles that he
stands for. 1t will show him in his
place in American history along with
Americas other great leaders and
liberators of the past.
You would like to see this film,
would you not? It is a good film,
lively, entertaining and full of human
interest. But you will not see this
film unless you go to your own mo-
ton picture theater and ask its man
ager when he is going to show it and
insist that you want to see it here.
Why is this i? Because it costs vast
sums of money to distribute films
through the regular channels. 1t is
also to the interest of certain motion
picture exhibitors not to show this
film. For this reason the La Toilette
Wheeler campaign committee has
found it advisable to send these films
direct to their state chairmen, who
will see that they are available to ev-
cry motion picture exhibitor in your

Salts Fine For
Aching Kidneys
When Back Hurts Flush Your Kid
neys as You Clean Your Bowels

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, sometimes get slug
gish and clogged and need flushing
occasionally, else we have backache
and dull misery in the kidney region,
severe headaches, rheumatic twinges,
torpid liver, acid stomach, sleepless-
ness and all sorts of bladder disor-
ders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean and the moment
you feel an ache or pain in the kid
ney region begin drinking lots of wa
ter. Also get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good drug store
here, take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and is intended
to flush clogged kidneys and help
stimulate them to activity. It also
helps neutralize the acids in the urine

Kemmerer Coal company, caused the
death of nearly half a hundred min

A number of men we're found sitting

ride to the surface for dinner. Some
were on their hands and knees, many
with their hands over their eyes.
Death was probably instantaneous in

La TOILETTE ENDORSED

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The candi-
dacy of La Toilette and Wheeler was
endorsed by the convention of the
United Textile Workers of America,

to conditions in the textile industry,
which is being used as an excuse in

In 1924 the "Carpenters' Company
of Philadelphia" was founded. It's
membership consisted of both master
and journeymen carpenters. The OBJ
jects of the company, as specified in
its articles Of incorporation, were
much after the style of the old guilds.
They were:
LIST. To obtain instruction in the
science of architecture.
End. To assist such of its members,
or the wives or children of members,
as should be by accident in need of
support.
3rd. To adopt such system of
measurement and prices that very
one concerned in building may have
the value of his money and every
workman the worth of his labor.
At that time,. the term master
carpenter" was practically synono-
nous with that Of journeyman. A
feeling of common interest prevailed
among masters and journeymen. The
master was usually little removed in
worldly goods and independence from
the journeyman. This bond of COM
mon interest and the necessity to
form some sort of organization to
protect trade secrets, standardize
working conditions and wages, and
place the trade on a footing to meet
the changing industrial conditions,
was the reason why the company was
formed.
Uniform Scale Set
Among the first results obtained
was the fixing of uniform scale Of
prices, similar to the working rules
of the local unions of the present day,
through the establishment of book
of prices, according to which GER
pentry work was thereafter apprais-
ed:
"On the most equitable principles
so that the workmen should have a
fair recompense for their labor, and
the owner receive the worth of his
money"
The bylaws of the company pro-
vided that:
There shall be a committee on
the Book of Prices, consisting of five
members, whose duty it shall be to

Snow Blasted From Rails
 To Move Trains in Alaska

Fairbanks, Alaska, April 25-Snow- slide problems on the governments s Alaska railroad present difficulties never encountered by transcontinental railroad companies during the milder winters in the states. where rotary blows usually ale enough 10 open the roads.
 In the latter part of this winter GOO kegs of black powder were used in a month on the Alaska railroad to re- move an avalanche of snow. II miles from Seward, that had wrecked snow sheds and blocked traffic. The DOW der was exploded in the keg contain- CTS, instead of by the former method of pouring the blasting material into coyote holes. Gas helmets were used by the men to enter the smoke filled snowshed to place the kegs in place for blasting. The final blast, which cleared the line Of the last of 100, 000 yards of snow. consumed nearly two tens of powder.
 In places along the iight-of way. where blows failed to work success fully and where the snow was not eN- cessivaly deep. steam was employed. The steam pipes, leading from the TO- tary engine, cut paths through the snow.
