Doctors Give CreOsOte
For Chest Colds

For many years our best doctors
have prescribed creosote in some
form for coughs, colds and bron-
chitis, knowing how dangerous it is
to let them hang on.
Creomulsion with creosote and six
other highly important medicinal ele-
ments, quickly and effectively stops
coughs and colds that otherwise
might lead to serious trouble.
Creomulsion is powerful in the
treatment of colds and coughs, yet it
is absolutely harmless and is pleas
ant and easy to take.
Your own druggist guarantees
Creomulsion by refunding your
money if you are not relieved after
taking CreOmulsion as directed. Be-
ware the cough or cold that hangs
on. Always keep Creomulsion on
hand for instant use.

LAWYER FLAYS STOCK BILL

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 81
G.N.SO.-Firing a series of sharp
broadsideS at features of the
Stock Exchange regulation bill
recently introduced in Washing
ton, Samuel Untermyer, noted
New York lawyer, today, in an
address before the Los Angeles
Breakfast Club, claSsed the pro-
posed legislation as Gin some
respects dangerous, unworkable,
unduly extreme and likely to dis
rupt our financial system"
In effect, the noted attorney,
who was author of the original
bill at the request of President
Roosevelt and has been fighting

for 80 years for Federal regula-
ton of the Stock Exchange, de-
scribed the bill now pending as
having some teeth far too sharp
and others not sharp enough.
He said:
"The great peril involved in
this bill in its present form
lies in the temptation to atone
for the long years of abuse and
neglect due to the absence of
control by swinging the pendu-
lum too far the other way and
in Over-regulating to the point
of clOgging and stifling the
delicate and complicated finan-
cial machinery SO that 1t can
not function"

SCOTTSBORO PLEA
DENIED BY COURT
Execution of Two Colored
Men Ordered by State
Tribunal.
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MONTGOMERY Ala, June %
The Supreme Court today upheld the
oeath sentences of Clarence Norris
and Hayward Patterson. colored, de-
PENDANTS in the Scottsboro case, and
set their execution for Friday. Au-
gust 81.
In the case of Patterson. the Su-
preme Court granted the motion of
Attorney General Thomas E. Knight,
lr.. and struck from the record the
bill of exceptions. which contained
all testimony presented in the lower
courts
The attorney general had asked the
bill stricken on the ground it was not
properly filed within 80 days after
final Judgment in the lower courts.
With the bill of exceptions stricken.
the Supreme Court was restricted
solely to the court records and was
unable to consider the merits of the
case.
In the Norris case Associate Justice
LuCien D. Gardner overruled the con-
tentlon Of defense counsel that
Negroes had been Systematically ex-
Guided from the jury.
We are of the opinion the proof
clearly shows" Justice Gardner said,
that the jury commissioners fairly
and honestly endeavored to discharge
their duty. and did not discriminate
against the Negro race and that no
provision of the Federal Constitution
has been infringed."
The men, two of the original nine
defendants, were convicted of at
tacking Victoria Price. young white
woman, on a freight train near Paint
Rock, Ala. IN 1881.
