effective way to take out the stiff

Just pat on a little of Sloan's
Liniment. Don't rub. It's the
liniment-not the rubbing-that
helps. Youm get relief right away.
I've tried all sorts of other things,
but nothing gets results like
-Sloan's." y"
Hundreds of letters like this tell
of the wonderful relief from mus
cular pain that Sloan's gives.
Sloan's gets results because it
doesn't just deatlen pain, it gets
at the cause. Right to the place

s There is a mystery surrounding

Last night the ball committee met
and final survey revealed the fact
that one lone box for the ball, the
proceeds of which are to be devoted
to- the work in behalf of former

families, had not been disposed of.
Consequently the following plan
was devised:

may call up, Each caller is sx-
pected to give his or her name
and address and telephone number
md the sum that they bid for the
box. Bids for any amount VIII he
received.
At o'clock the bids will close
and the official will promptly make
return call upon the highest bid
der and notify that person Of the
success of the bid and complete the
arrangements for delivering the

Ia MINOR TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS
TO BRING ONLY POLICE WARMING
Brown Announces List Designed to Cut
Down Arrests@Says Men Get No
Rating on Court Gases.

Fourteen traffic violations relating
principally to faulty equipment. for
which the police plan to issue warn
ing cards instead of making imme
diate arrests have been agreed upon
by police officials to cut down the
large number of minor arrests made
annually, one of the conditions COM
planned of in the report of the Board
of Trade traffic committee yesterday.
The infractions for which correc-
tional notices are planned are: Illegal
lenses, no lights, one light, no rear
light, dazzling lights. insufficient
lights. obstructed tags, improper tags.
improper tires on trucks. defective
brakes. no mirror on truck. defective
muff1er. improper signaling device and
unsafe mecha nical condition.
Inspector L. w. Brown, chief of the
Traffic Bureau, said today he has had
the proposed ticket plan approved
and is ready 10 order the printing of
blank forms. 1t may be {, week or two
before the tickets will be ready to put

WATER FRONT SITE
URGED FOR MARKET
Special Surveys Being Made
to Support Arguments
Before Congress.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

Strong arguments have been pre-
sented to the co-ordinating committee
and the City Planning Commission in
favor of locating the proposed new
municipal market center on the water
front in Southwest Washington. Spe-
cial surveys and studies are being
made with reference to that location
preparatory TO presenting the whole
problem to Congress.
The public meanwhile is generally
confused regarding the water front
site, thinking that the object is to
locate there the Center Market. or
retail market. for all food supplies.
whereas the main feature of the south
west proposition is to establish there
a great freight terminal for economic
handling of perishable food supplies
coming into Washington.
What the Proposal Involves.
The southwest proposition is this
l. Development of a periShable food
terminal, with track-side unloading
and delivery in the triangular area
between Water street, Maryland ave-
nue. and Twelfth street. comprising
about eight and one-half acres. ac-
quired about a year ago by the Poto-
mac Freight Terminal Co. from the
Southern Railway. Along the Water
street front of this property would
be constructed warehouses for whole
sale distributors of produce. meat and
dairy products who buy in carload
lots and so need track-side facilities.
Along the rear of these warehouses
would be a community unloading plat
form with double line of tracks serv-
axyA 10,
load lots could be promptly unlOaded
Along the line of f street would be
truck driveway alongside railway
tracks for general delivery purposes.
The remainder of the triangle would
he available for packing houses. The
Cudahy Packing Co. already has
erected a $150,000 plant on $4,000
square feet of land at Twelfth and L
streets. The Pennsylvania, Railroad
now has under lease the corner of this
property between Maryland avenue.
Twelfth street and E street, which 1t
uses as freight terminal.
Along the Maryland avenue front
of this property are the Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington tracks,
controlled by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, but over which the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad has a contract
|
tracks over which all the merchan-
disc is hauled into Washington from
the several lines that stop at the
Potomac Freight Yards, across the
, river in Virginia. lies the Fourteenth
street yards of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. which 1t is proposed will
be used exclusively for perishable
food products.
Across Twelfth street from this
perishable freight terminal is the
cold storage plant of the Washington
Market Co.. occupying the entire
square, with sufficient capacity to
care for the needs of the entire ter
minaPs plant. At the last session
Of Congress an act was passed au-
thorizing the running of q conduit
under Twelfth street to carry refrig-
orator facilities to the perishable pro-
duce terminal area.

Reorganization of League Council
Expected to Satisfy All Powers.

GENEVA, September l (R-Spain
has failed to take the usual reser-
vations for her delegates at the Hotel
deS Bergues for the League of Ma
tions assembly, and this has produced
the impression that she has practi-
cally decided not to be represented
at the coming meetings AS far as
known, no apartments for the Span
lardS have been reserved elsewhere.
The commission charged with
drafting plans for the reorganization
Of the league council today adopted
it's subcommittee's report This re-
port is planned to satisfy the aspira
tions of Spain and Poland for semi
permanent seats in the council, the
tenure of which is three years. 1t is
practically the Cecil Fromageot draft,
with slight notifications.
Spain refrained from voting and
Poland made reservations. which
President Motta declared amounted
to partial abstention" Reservations
were also made by Italy and Sweden
to various points in the report.
M. Camille, the Argentine repre-
sentative. after voicing his country's
reservation to several points in the
report declared he would not insist
upon them. The representative from
China received assurance from Presi-
dent Motta that one reason the COM
mission recommended an enlarge
ment of the council was to give wider
representation to Asia.
The compromise of the council seat
problem as accepted by the commits
sion is expected to satisfy both Spain
and Poland. Each of them will get
a semi-permanent seat for three
years after which the assembly of
the league by a two-thirds vote can
give re-eligibility to any such non-
permanent member of the council
whose term expires. The present as
sembly can by the same vote endow
the new temperament members
with re-eligibility in advance.
There will then be five permanent
seats for English. France. Germany,
Italy, Japan and nine semi-permanent
seats instead Of six as at present.

SENATOR MK|NLEY
APPROACHES DEATH
Doctor Has No Hope for His
Recovery Despite Rally
Early Today.

MARTINSVILLE, Ind. September
1.-Some Improvement in the condi-
ton of Senator William b. Mckin-
ley of Illinois, who is critically i'll
here. was reported today by his ply
sican. Dr. II. II. Egbert.
DR.. Egbert said Senator Mckinley
was much better this morning after
resting quietly last night, but he held
out no hope for his recovery. MSena-
tor Mckinley was conscious, theT hy-
sician said, and life might contihIe
throughout the day.
The Senator was brought to the
Home Lawn Sanitarium here from
Washington about two weeks ago
upon the advices of his physician, suf-
fering from neuritis and sciatic rheu-
matism. which had confined him to
his bed since shortly after the Illinois
primary.
Last week he developed q congest-
ed condition of the lung, which grew
gradually worse until last night he
was in semi-conscious condition,
and sinking slowly, according to his
physician. DR.. Egbert said there
was little chance for improvement so
long as he was unable to take
nouriShment.
due to his somewhat advanced age
and his condition, weakened from long
illness, he is showing less resistance
to his ailment than he has hereto
fore demonstrated" DR.. Egbert said
in a late statement.
Nurses are in attendance over the
stricken Senator and relatives from
Illinois and Washington have gathered
at his bedside.
The Senator, semi-conscious through
out the night, regained consciousness
today. When his secretary, C. A.
Willoughby, entered the sick chamber,
Senator Mckinley remarked:
well, my little friend. how are you
this morning."
These are the only words he had
spoken in the past So hours.
