MRS. SOLOMON (By Wallace M. Bayliss)

If we should start to talk of King
 Sol's queen Some smarty would pipe up Which
 do you mean?" King Solomon. you see, had many
 wives, A lot more than a Thomas cat has
 lives. He had three thousand of them, an-
 clients state; Perhaps that was an off-hand est-
 mate. There's no denying that he had
 lot, But was he happy with them? I'll
 say not. To illustrate: One day Wife Eighty
 Four Got by the guards placed at the
 throne room door And said: Say, Sol, I want a new spring hat" Said Sol, "Ha, ha! Fat chance you
 have for that. l ike you, put 1T l get one for
 you I'll have to buy three thousand
 others, too. I'm sorry, grille, but you'll have to
 wait; A heavy note falls due ten days from
 date" Boo hooi" she 'bawled. and as
 though signalled to, Three thousand female voices wail-
 ed Boo hoo!" If you who have to meet one wife's
 demands Think you have got tough job on
 your hands, Give thanks that you are not King
 Solomon. Three thousand times worse off than
 you, my son.

 ''He was a clerk in the outer office of Secretary Fall." Senator Walsh recalled previous tes- timony by Doheny and his statements with reference to the April, lease having been made by subordinates of Fall, and asked the witness whether he thought Assistant Secretary Kinney had signed the lease without the knowledge of Fall.
 q do not know" replied Doheny.
 Senator Lenroot then took up the questioning again:
 What are your expectations with re- gard of the payment of this loan?" he asked.

he did not know anything about it?' injected Seifator Walsh. q.
 Senator Dill, democrat, Washington, wanted to know whether Doheny would be willing to turn the lease back to the government if he were reim- bursed for expenditures made under it.
 "To turn back the lease as pro- posed," replied Doheny, would be an evidence of wrong. I do not want this question to be decided by public opin- but by a board of experts." tr.
 Asked whether he had made prof it out of the lease so far, the witness replied in the negative. .@-

 Senator Walsh then inquired about J. J. Cotter, asking whether a man by that name had gone into Doheny's em- ploy from the interior department The witness replied that Cotter had left the department along with the late Secre- tary Lane and with MT. Lane had gone to work for the Doheny interests.

HOW DOCTORS TREAT COLDS
 AND THE FLU
First Step In Treatment Is 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 &C., tive. That IS why the first step in the treatment IS the nausealess caIomel 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 infIa- cnza and colds and Is one of the most important factors in enabling the pa- tient to successfully withstand an at- tack and ward off pneumonia.
 One or two Calotabs at bed time. with a swallow of water-that's all. No salts, no nausea nor the slightest interference with your eating, pleas ure or work. Next morning your cold has vanished, your liver is active, your system is purified and you are feeling fine, with a hearty appetite for breakfast.

Withdrawal From Vera Cruz Will Probably Relieve

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Tension over the Mexican situation appeared to have been completely relaxed today when the state department announced that American war vessels ordered to Vera Cruz and Tampico were already in process of being withdrawn from Mexican waters since the rebel leaders had abandoned their attempted block ade of Tampico.
 Large numbers of rebel deserters were taken after the collapse of Guad- alajara, the Mexican embassy said in a statement tonight.

 Ut was a loan which I will insist upon his repaying," he added.

 Only on section six, which was ob- tained from the interior department We got that lease from Secretary Payne. (John B. Payne, Interior Secretary in the cabinet of President Wilson,"
 Absolves Fall
 Replying to questions by Senator Lenroot the witness declared that Fall himself had nothing to do with the framing of the original contract of April %, 1922, by which the Doheny interests acquired preferential rights to lease certain reserve land. The ne- gotiations he said, were all conducted by Falls subordinates.
 Senator Lenroot asked the witnesses to explain why he had only made ref erence to this contract in which he had insisted would return him no prof it and made no reference to -Decem- Der, 1922, contract but of which he had stated he expected to make a profit of $10O,O00000. It was this contract by which the Doheny inter- ests leased the California reserves.
 After the question had been repeat ed in various forms several times, the witness replied that it could be con- tended that Falls part in the award- ing of the December contract might have been influenced by the loan which had been made.
 ''If there is suspicion that Senator Fall was influenced by the loan," Do- heny added, "I am willing to recom- mend to my directors to agree to the cancellation of the lease, provided that suspicion is based upon something stronger than public opinion"
 T am asking you, in view of the possibility that you secured an ad- vantage because of the loan," pursued Senator LenrOot, "are you not willing to turn back the leaseT
 Answers COnditiOnally
 If that will clear Mir. Fall I will recommend that to the company. If it will clear Senator Fall of any su- spicion of having been influenced by the loan I am willing to do it."
 The attention of the witness then was directed to parts of the previous testimony given before the committee by Fall with regard to the raising of money for the ranch purchase in New Mexico.
 T told MT. Fall,' said Doheny, "to go before the committee. I also told another man, one of my attorneys, MT. Harold Walker, I wanted him to urge upon MT. Fall to make clean breast of the entire affair; that was Decem- Der $ or z. I think Walker did. I told Fall not to do anything else but make clean breast of it."
 Doheny insisted that the December contract was a mere modification of the April contract made on the sug- gestion of the navy department.
 Secretary DenDy was the one that suggested that modification of our con- tract be made in order to enable the department to provide port facilities at Pearl Harbor," said the witness.
 But Secretary Denby told us that

STEEL SITUATION
 SHOWS NO GAINS
Buyers Hold Off For Evidence
 Of Business Confidence

NEW YORK, June 2S.-Despite d good deal of optimism relative to the future of the steel market and a few bright spots in the way of little spurts of buying here and there, the steel sit nation at large shows little, if any im- pr6vement. Buyers are just about as apathetic as they have been at any time of late and seem to be holding off for more evidence of increasing confidence in business circles. Prices are easy. Pig iron continues quiet and the tone of the market is easy. Orders are be- ing limited to small lots with big buy CTS timid.
 Further price concessions in copper failed to stimulate the demand for democratic consumption, but offerings were light and the market turned stead- fer towards the. end of the week on an improved inquiry for exports. Buyers for domestic consumption remained very conservative but sales for export were reported at slight advances.
 Tin was quiet but steady. The con.- stunning demand was poor, but dealers were inclined to anticipate a better business. Offerings were light, but visible stocks are expected to show an increase for the month.
 Lead appears to be in healthy po- sition. Unsold stocks were small.
 Zinc was firm with little pressure to sell but trading was dull and buyers were indifferent.

WHEAT DECLINE IS DUE TO RAIN Sags Are Partly Offset By Reports Of Har-
 vest Delays

CHICAGO, June 2S.-Rains benefi- cial for the spring crop in the northeast led to price declines in the wheat mar ket today, although partly offset by re- ports of harvest delays southwest. The closing for wheat was easy, 1s cents, h cents net lower, July $1.141a@1.14% and September $1.15ss @1.15A, with corn ranging from A cent decline to x cents advance, Oats x cents to IS cents higher and provision un- changed to 10 cents off.
 Generous moisture provided for the wheat fields both sides of the consolida- tion line brought about considerable selling here and curtailed the demand except on declines. With the help of the timely rains, it was generally ex- pected that the domestic spring crop would show a much more favorable con- dition in the next government report than was the case at the beginning of June. In this connection, special mo- tice was taken of advances from Minne- sota that the outlook there was almost ideal, with no signs of blight or rust.
 Moderate rallies which took place at times in the wheat market were more or less due to gossip current that con- tinuous rainfall in the winter wheat belt had put the soil in bad condition as to market prompt harvesting of wheat at maturity a serious problem. Missouri and Illinois were particularly mentioned in this respect, many south ern Illinois fields were reported as so soft that binders could not be run.
 Corn trade was light, with traders nervous about storm weather and light receipts. Throughout the day, how ever, the September delivery was in- clined to lag, whereas July and Decem- Der displayed strength. Commission houses were sellers of September.
 Good general buying gave a lift to the oats market.
 Steadiness of hog values aided in up holding provisions.
