Rheumatism Is easier to avoid

authority. We are advised to

Rheumatism is caused by body
waste and acids resulting from food
fermentation. It is the function Of
the kidneys to filter this poison
from the blood. The pores of the
skin are also means of freeing
the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly cold weather the
skin pores are closed, thus forcing
the kidneys to do, double work:
they become weak and sluggish and
fail to eliminate this waste and

GIRL, II, TELLS
OF APPEARING
NUDE IN VINE.
fBy pisnatch A P. wirel

| NEW YORK, May 25,-Joyce Haw-
ley, the girl in tub at Earl Car
rolls party, told on the witness stand
today how she was ushered into it,
undraped, served drinks from it to
male guests at the party and tried un-
successfully to collect pay she said
was promised to her.
! Giving her age as IT, she said her
name really was not Joyce Hawley,
but that she was Theresa Daugelas
born in Chicago, March 3, 1909. Her
STORY was, substantially, that she had
been appearing as a model in a fash
;on show for a salary of $40 a week,
meanwhile endeavoring to get a po-
sition as show girl in Earl Carroll's
Tanlties. While she testified, she al
ternately was composed, then weeping
and again displaying signs Of intense
nervousness.
While appearing as model, she
said, an employe of Carrolls saw her.
admired her figure, and week before
the party asked if she would do the
bath tub stunt She said she was
promised 500 or $1,000.
She said that when she went to col
lect the money, Chris Scaife, an asso~
ciate of Carrolls offered her $3.50 if
she would deny before the grand jury
that liquor was served at the party.
Miss Hawley said she wanted the
money because she had been ordered
day and believed she would need to
hire an attorney. She did hire an at,
torney, but she testified:
"He wouldn't come before the grand
jury with me, and SO I gave him the
air."
She said that altogether she had had
four attorneys since instituting the
suit to collect damages from Carroll,
bM did not know whether her case
still was pending.
After Miss Hawley testified that she
had become drunk at the party before
going through with the bath tub scene
she was asked if she felt bitter against
Carroll.
"No" she rep1;ed, but it wasn't a
very nice thing for him to do" Later
under cross examination she was ask
ed considerable about her present work
in Broadway show where she does
a stimulation of the bath tub scene as
q part OIL lH6 HlSHCly pei IOA
She testified she had been in the
show about three months.
Didn't you get that contract as
result of the publicity you got from
the Carroll party?" she was asked.
"Oh I suppose So" she replied.
When asked whether she had posed
for newspaper photographers showing
her nude in a tub, she said she had
posed at the insistence of the shows

which made her appear nude.
A question as to her salary brought
a spirited tilt between her and Car
rolls attorneys.
"You know all about me you need
to know" she said, "and 1 won't tell
you any more"
This ended her testimony for the
day and the government rested its
case.

FIRST SUMMER
/ RAIN HERE AT
5P. M. TUESDAY

The first of the summer rains
struck Douglas and vicinity just after
S o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The
rainfall was heavy for ten minutes
and it continued to sprinkle inter-
mittently until early evening.
Although little rain fell, the pre-
cipitation which did descend cleared
the air greatly and added to the cool
ness of the evening. A high wind
ushered in the storm and in addition
to raising considerable dust, broke
several branches off trees in the city.
There was some lightning and few
crashes of thunder.

night, which is the first this month,
an official of the Copper Queen re-

BY COOLIDGE
(Rv Dispatch A. P. Wirel


WASHINGTON, May 25.-The way
was prepared today for the erection
of government buildings throughout
the country during the next five years
when President Coolidge approved the
bill authorizing 100000 con-
struction prograE-

900, 900 is to be used in the District of
Columbia and the remaining $100,000,-
900 will be utilized for new post Of.
fices and other federal buildings out
side ,of Washington.
The measure which the president
signed stipulated that no part of the
$1OO,OO0,OO0 is to be expended until
congress, bN making a specific ap-
dation of the treasury as to where a
structural is to be built and how much
is to be expended on it.

PROHIBITION
ROW WAXING
MUCH HOTTER
(Ry Dispatch 4. 2. N,irel

WASHINGTON, May rs.
Amid the growing roar
over President Coolidge's
order authorizing state and
local officials to act as fed
eral prohibition agents, the
White House today defend
ed the action and the SEN
ate unanimously directed its
judiciary committee to in
vestigate its legality.
These were outstanding develop
ments in the latest prohibition con-
troversy which also extended to the
house of representatives where Rep
resentative Curry, republican, Califor-
MIA, denounced the order in a fiery
speech, and Representative HILL, re-
publican, Maryland, leader of the
vets, offered a resolution which
would have the effect of multiplying
the presidents action.
An informal but official White
House pronouncement was that the
president felt he had neither exceeded
his authority nor invaded state rights,
but was ready to modify his order
should it's operation lead to harmful
consequences.
The senate resolution of inquiry,
sponsored by Senator King, democrat,
Utah, was adopted after prohibition
field day in the senate during which
the legality of the order was defended
there for the first time and by d
democrat Walsh, of Montana, an ar
dent dry, and in the past a frequent
critic of the administration.
There was no discussion on the
resolution itself which went through
without record vote and with no
opposition after it had been amended
by Senator Bingham, republican, Con-
necticut, to set forth that the inquiry
would be J"to enable the senate to de-
termine whether Legislation is ad-
visable or necessary"
Denouncing the order in the house,
Representative Curry declared it was
unconstitutional, unjust, vicious,
wrong and contrary to the fupda-
menta principles of American gov
ernment" He also said the people Of
California would like it better if the
treasury, instead of first applying the
order to their state, would apply 1T
in New York or the presidents own
state, Massachusetts.
Representative Hills resolution went
over under the rules, but he an
nounced that if the presidents order
were not revoked within a few days
he would press for it's adoption. 1t
would prohibit employment of federal
officers by states and state officers
by the federal government and would

officials said Many dancers jumped
through windows to escape.
Brigadier General Crane, head of
the constabulary, after investigating
the riot said today that only two
constabulary soldiers appeared to be
responsible for the shooting. He
added:
Cali constabulary officers condemn
these two men and 1 will see that
they get what they deserve, even if
it is hanging"
General Crane said that one of
these men used 20 rounds of ammuni

He asserted that other soldiers of the
detachment did not use their rifles,
and it was absurd for the civil au-

against 28 constabulary when only
two men were implicated in the shoot

The detachment of constabulary in

TOKYO, May GA mountain lake,
released by an eruption from long
inactive volcano crater caused the
greater part of the death and de-
struction which followed yesterdays
resumption of activity in Mount To-
kachi, in central Hokkaido, northern
most of the principal island of Japan.
The governor of Hokkaido reported
today to the home minister that 100
dead and more than 200 injured had
been removed from the mass of mud
lava and rocks precpitated from the
long slumbering crater. Besides these,
about 1000 farmers of the newly OPEN
ed but rapidly developing agricultural
district around the mountain are miss
ing, and it is impossible to tell how
many of these may have been buried
alive in the floods of water and mud
The peasants of the Tokachi dis
trict were not without warning, for
on May 4, the Moribund volcano be-
gan rumbling and many fled from the
region Yesterday came three violent
eruptions, tearing out the crater walls
and allowing the lake to pour through
the sides of the mountain, inundating
several villages, drowning villagers
and covering 10000 acres of rice
fields with mud. Landslides on the
steep slopes added to the toll Of de-
struction.
Relief measures are under way.
Two hundred doctors and nurses are
attending the injured, while 500 mem
bers of the local Young Mems assoei-
alton, a nationwide organization, are
assisting.
wwe miles Of the Kushiro railway
running west of the mountain have
been destroyed Hokkaido dispatches
described the region of the catas-
trophe as literally sea of mud.
Mount Tokachi is one of the highest
peaks of a volcanic chain running
through Hokkaido island, most of the
peaks of which are known as dying
volcanoes of Yezo," or Hokkaido.
The awak ening of Mount Tokachi
is typical of what has happened be-
fore in the case of Japan's sup
posedly extinct volcanoes. Japan is a
Volcano made land and from the geol-
ogists point of view still a young and
growing country. At least 200 vol
cano peaks are listed, so of which are

applied to the cones of the Island
Empire
The most famous case of this char
acter heretofore was that of Mount
Bandai, $50 miles northwest of Yoko-
hama. Up to July Is, 1888, no erup-
ton had occurred as far as known
for more than 1000 years. That morn
