Mr.. Creager was appraised Satur-
day afternoon Of the action Of the
rivers and hsrbors committee Of the
house and Immediately issued the
call for the Valley port committee
to meet az the Harrington city hall

Il am greatly gratified by the ac-
ton Of the house committee" Mr..
Creager said. CONGRESSMAN Demp-
sew had given the members Of. the
Valley port committee assurance
that the bill would be reported this
session and would contain the Point
Isabel appropriation. I did moi ex-
pect congress to take action on the
measure this session, but action
will be taken ut the short session
beginning in December. This will
make no difference. as the appropria-
ton. IL the bill were passed at this
session. would not be available until

On a recent trip to Houston, Mr..
CreaRer conferred with Colonel Ball.
whom he pronounced the best posted
attorney in the South on navigation
matters. and Col. Ball consented to
come to the Wall q for a conference
with the port committee. He ex-
pressed the opinion that a district
proposition could be worked out
that would be satisfactory TO all To-
c~alities and all interests.
1T Will take some time to organ
ize a district and get in shape TO

lieye there should Dc no delay. There
Is a great mass of detail to be work

in shape to meet every requirement

eliminating unnecessary delay in
dredging channels and extending the

The correspondent of the paper
quoted the colonel in charge Of the
squad before giving the order to fire
as having said to those about to die:
you are going to be executed for
treason to your own interests, for
serving as instruments to those who
fostered your ignorance-the clergy

said by the authorities to have nam
ed Loyola as inspector general of tn
surgent forces in the states OF San

Millions Of Families Depend
on DR.. CaldweRs Prescription

When DR.. Caldwell started to
practice medicine. back in 1875, the
needs for a laxative were not as
great as they are To-Day. People liv-
ed normal. quiet lives. ate plain.
wholesome food. and got plenty of
fresh air and sunshine. But even
that early there were drastic physics
and purges for the relief of consti-
patton which DR.. Caldwell did not
believe were good for human beings
to put into their system. So he
wrote prescription for a laxative
to be used BY his patients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used early in his practice.
and which he put in drug stores in
1892 under the name of DIR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid
vegetable remedy, intended for
women, children and elderly people.
and they need Just such mild.
safe. gentle bowel stimulant as
Syrup Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth
and is now the largest selling liquid
laxative in the world. The fact that
millions of bottles are used a year
proves that it has won the con-
tidence of people who needed it to
get relief from headaches, bilious
ness. tlatulence. Indigestion, loss Of
appetite and sleep, lad breath. dys-
pepsia, colds and fe,ers.
Millions of families are .ow never
without DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
and If you will once start using it
you will also always have a bottle
handy for emergencies.
1t is particularly pleasing to know
that the most of 1t is bought by
mothers for themselves and the chill
dren. though Syrup Pepsin is Just as
valuable for elderly people. All drug

stores have the generous bottles.
Or, to prove at our expense how

END Of PROBE IS
NOT IN SIGHT YET
AeI HeurS Come Into Promi-
Btace in Phll. Investigation

Philadelphia. Oct. II @ - New
figures today fell into line in the
big parade OF the racketeers. boot
leggers. saloon keepers and alleged
corrupt police. The end. according
to District Attorney Monaghan, who
il directing the grand jury investi-
cation OF lawlessness. is not in
sight.
Today saw the inquiry developing
in two divisions-the grand jury's
questioning of q new group OF wit
nesses rounded up by the district
attorneys detectives, and the trial
by a jury of Matthew Patterson,
politician. and Charles W. Schoen-
leber, suspended captain of police.
Patterson Is Leader
Patterson is republican organiza-
ton leader Of the 18th ward and
member Of the state legislature and
Schoenleber is one of several police
commanders who have been sus-
pended as an outgrowth of the
grand jury's investigation of brib-
cry. Both are charged with bribery,
extortion and conspiracy to extort
money from saloon keepers.
Further revelations in the beer
running racket were expected by
the district attorney after Al Hem
drie. wartime aviator and now the
confessed head of a beer-running
crew, had testified in court that he,
two OF his brothers and others had
brbed police to permit their beer
trucks to roll through the streets
unmolested.
Hendrie's testimony was given at
a hearing OF William Frantz, sus-
pended police captain, and several
detectives, at which they were held
in bail on charges of bribery and
extortion. Frantzs bail was fixed at
$4,000 and that of the others
ranged from $4,000 TO $500. Two
of those held were members of the
now disbanded Unit No. /, dry
raiding squad that functioned when
General Smedley d. Butler was di-
rector of public safety.
Brief Analysis
In setting bail Judge Lewis made
a brief analysis of the attitude of
mind he had formed on the basis
Of Hendricks testimony, and said:
"All OF this gang warfare and
gang numbering goes back to pro-
tected bootlegging-an evil which
will have to be wiped out.
THE detective bureau could have
put the gangs out of business any
time. ! am confident the widespread
payment of graft money to police
was one of the reasons why pre-
Ventlve measures We're not taken"
