A cHILD's LAXATIVE
SHOULD BE LIQUID
(Ask any doctor)

For your own comfort, and for your
children's safety and future welfare.
you should read this:
The bowels cannot be helped to
regularity by any laxative that can't
be regulated as to dose. That is why
doctors use liquid laxatives.
A liquid laxative can always be
taken in the right amount. You can
gradually reduce the dose. Reduced
dosage is the secret of real and safe
relief from constipation.
The right liquid laxative dose gives
the right amount of help. When
repeated, instead of more each time,
you take less. Until bowels are NOV
ing regularly and thoroughly without
any help at all.
The liquid laxative generally used
is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. 1t
contains SIENNA and cascara, natural
laxatives that form no habit - even
in children. Its action is gentle, but
sure. 1t will clear up a condition Of
biliousness or sluggishness without
upset. Every druggist has it.

REPORT
URGES BETTER
POLICE WORK

Solution OF the crime problem
is to be found at the ballot boxes
rather than in the legislatures
of the various States. according
to a report of a special commit
tee of the American Bar ASso-
citation, made public today.
The special committee, ap-
pointed to consider how the per-
sonnet engaged in law enforce
ment can be improved, consists
of John Barker Waite, Univer-
sity of Michigan, chairman; 10
Seph B. keenan,, Assistant United
States Attorney General, Wash
ington; Judge Harry B. Keidan,
Detroit; Harry Eugene Kelly, eX-
president of the Union League
Club, Chicago; Samuel Seabury,
who conducted the Seabury in
veStigation in New York city;
and Charles P. Taft I'd, leader
in the governmental reform move
ment, Cincinnati.
Enforcement Needed
Directing its investigation prin-
cipally at the state law enforce
ment agencies, the committee
urges better administration rather
than changes in the criminal law
as a means of crime suppression
and ayers that most failures in
enforcement are the fault OF
judges, jurors, policemen, or
other officials.
Correction Of these faults will
60 more directly to the root OF
the failures than will changes of
the law itself, the committee
reiterates, although some amend
ments to existing codes relative to
procedure may be desirable.
Already the advance report is
said to be on the way toward be-
coming the center of a vigorous
debate when the annual meeting
of the association takes place
next month in Los Angeles.
Long Service Favored
While the report does not fit
the criminal courts set up in the
District of Columbia, lawyers were
inclined to agree with that por-
ton of the document which
recommends the reduction of
elective officers in the States
when their officers are concerned
with criminal law enforcement.
That portion Of the report reads:
Efficient police protection,
therefore, rests fundamentally
upon continuity in service Of
the persons engaged. This pro-
position applies with equal
force to the heads Of depart
ments, such as commissioners,
superintendent, and chiefs, as
well as to lower officers and
men.
efficient protection is not
possible, conversely, when the
personnel of a police force, or
even its leadership, is subject to
change with every shift in pc.
litical administration. In rural
districts, for example. where po-
licing is left to deputy Sheriffs.
subject to dismissal at every
change in the incumbent of the
Sheriff's office, it is not likely
that competent men will be at
tracted to the work. and the
period of employment is usually
too short to permit Of either
sound training or experience"

PAPERFOUNDAT|ON
Publishers Aim to Perpet-

ROCHESTER. N. Y, September "a
TO perpetuate the Gannett news
papers for service and not for private
profit, Frank E. Gannett today an
nounced formation of a founda ton
to distribute afer his death at least
rs per cent of the chains net in

l. Continuation Of his 10 publica-
tons in IA cities with the primary
idea of making good and useful news
papers of widest possible service to
their communities, rather than the
consideration of largest possible profit.
2. That most of the profits after
the first consideration is satisfied shall
go for the welfare of the people, par
ticularly in the area they serve, and
not to pile up fortunes for any indi-
vidual or group.
After his death, announced Mr..
Gannett, the foundation will become
the controlling owner of the COM
mon stock of Gannett Co., Inc, which
controls his newspaper properties.
Voting power rests in this common
stock, which now is owned in its
entirety by Mr.. Gannett.
At least IS per cent Of the net in
come must be so distributed after
suitable cash reserves, not to exceed
100000, have been set up, the founda-

most of the men remaining patiently
in their homes.
There were scattered instances of
miners returning to their jobs in
Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Two
mines functioned in Westmoreland
County, Pa, under old agreements, and
one operated at Rivesville, w. Va,
to provide fuel for a power plant.
Union officials and operators esti-
mated about 125,000 workers are idle
In Pennsylvania and about los, 1000 in

MARINE, CLEARED,
FACES NAVY QUIZ
Service Court to Probe
Fatal Shooting at Belle
vue Magazine.

A naval court of inquiry was ex-
pected to convene sometime today in
connection with the fatal shooting
Saturday of John Donald Moriarty,
rs. Government Printing once en-
ploye, by a Marine Corps guard at the
entrance gate to the Bellevue Maya
zine.
The guard, Pvt. John F. Whitmore.
38, was exonerated yesterday by
a coroney's jury, which. after hearing
testimony at an inquest at the Morgue,
decided Whitmore had used his service
pistol lin the performance Of his
duties according to regulations issued
by the commandant of his post and
approved by the Secretary of the
Navy" The verdict exonerated him
in so far as civil authorities are con-
cerned.
The naval inquiry was to be held as
soon as the necessary papers are
signed by the Secretary of the Navy.
Sailors In Car.
Moriarty, who lived at 10l5 N street,
was shot as he started to get out of
his automobile after driving it part
way through the entrance gate, ac-
cording to testimony at the inquest.
Seated with him in the automobile
were two sailors. r. F. Burton and r.
Bakken, both first class radio men,
whom he was driving back to the
magazine.
George Holroyd, 633 Eighth street
northeast. civilian worker at the maga-
zine. testified he had ridden to the
gate on the running board of the
automobile and had started to walk
down the road inside when the fatal
shot was fired.
Gate Partly Opened.
Holroyd said whitmore had opened
the second section of a double gate
sufhciently to permit the automobile
to pass and then went over to the
car to question Moriarty. 1t was
shortly after this that the shooting
occurred.
Lieut.. George C. Wright, officer of
the day at the time of the shooting
said Whitmore had told him he had
started to hit Moriarty with the pistol
when some one struck his arm and the
pistol was accidentally fired. Whit
more did not take the stand.
In answer to questions, Lieut.. Wright
said orders at the post required persons
in automobiles to have Bellevue iden-

applied to events or conditions exist
ing prior to its enactment.
Marriage is not created by law Of
man, but is in accordance with the
laws of nature said Justice ODon-
oghue. The primary object is to
beget offspring. Its secondary object
is the happiness of the individuals
concerned.
The first object should have preced-
ence over the second and is a matter
affecting the public interest.
Divorce Ancient.
whether divorce laws are wise or
unwise is not for this court to say.
Even before Christianity came into the
world there was divorce. In the early
days of Rome divorce was unknown,
but in its later history, when the en-
pire had become decadent, a woman
was said to count her age not by wears
but by the number of her husbands"
The coming of Christianity put an
end to divorce and only annulments of
marriages were possible, the justice re-
lated.
THE question of divorce in this
country is recent" continued Justice
ODonoghue, "and is entirely statutory
and under the control of the Leeisla-
ture.
This statute before us expressly re-
peals the old law and says it is in lieu
thereof. In effect, Congress wiped out
the old law on the statute books and
created a blank space into which it put
the new provisions just as if they had
always existed there"
Separation Case Is Tested.
The subject of whether the law is
retroactive was brought before the
court in motion to dismiss a petition
for absolute divorce brought by Mrs.
Elizabeth Tipping, 1909 Nineteenth
street, against j. Ronald Tipping, now
in Florida. BY consent Of the court,
another case was heard jointly with
the Tipping case. 1t was the suit of
Mrs. Lena Kicker, 913 L street north
east, against Robert B. Kicker, 9l3
Evarts street northeast.
Both divorce actions were based on
the new provision permitting an alb
solute decree after five years sepa-
ration of husband and wife. The new
law also creates the additional grounds
for an absolute divorce of two years
desertion and conviction of q felony.
Attorneys Louis Mann, representing
Mrs. Tipping, and Jean Boardman.
representing Mrs. Kicker. argued that
the law is retroactive. They were
assisted by George C. Gertman, secre-
tary OF the District Bar Association,
which sponsored the new statute in
Congress. Gertman appeared as O

directors in the mining area be pre-
pared to answer calls for help.
In the past, administration officials
declared policy has been to treat
strikers the same as any other idle
workers when it comes to considering
their applications for relief.
Union Has Relief Fund.
In union circles. it was said that
while the U. M. w. constitution does
not provide for payment of strike
benefits by the union, the organization
has general fund out of which those
N need because of the strike would
be taken care of. However, union Off
Gals expect that If the strike were
prolonged, great many would go on
the Federal relief rolls.
Murray, vice president Of the
U. M. W., said last night a survey
showed a few Illinois mines employ
ing Progressive Mine Workers of
America and "few" Kentucky mines
not under union contract were all that
operated yesterday.
He asserted that mines in Penn
sylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana,
Tennessee, Virginia, Alabama and
Western States were down 100 per
cent"
There appeared to be no immediate
prospect of a soft coal shortage. A
