nNE Of the American navy's best ad-
~ ministrators and most famous
fighters disappeared from the scene
with the death of Admiral Robert Ed
ward Coontz at Bremert0n, Wash, aft
er two months of illness. He was sew
enty years old and on the retired list.
Admiral Coontz was active in the navy
for AZ years and during that time he
served as commandant of midshipmen
at Annapolis, governor of Guam, COM
mandant of the Puget Sound navy yard
and of the Fifth naval district. For
four years after the World war he was
chief of operations. His policy was ex-
pressed in the phrase "An American

$4.S0O,0OO,O0O relief program through
The Ely miner., 1935-02-08

n URING the debate in the house on
~ an administration bill to increase
by S9,OOO,OOOOOO the amount of long
term securities the treasury can issue,
Representative Reed of New York quot
ed Secretary Morgenthau as saying that
the treasury could not finance the work
relief program unless congress broad
ened it's bond-issuing authority. So the
house passed the measure at once.
The bill, prepared by the Treasury
department, places the administration
squarely against imitation. 1t provides
authority to raise money necessary for
the public works, social security and
similar measures, meet federal deficits,
and might even be used to provide
funds for, payment of the soldiers
bonus.
Under provisions of the measure
there would be ten-year bonds in
amounts as small as S25, and as ex-
plained by the Treasury department,
would be sold below par. There would
be no interest. but each six months
the bonds would appreciate in value at
the rate of PA per cent, plus COM
pounded earnings.
Huge sums are involved: first, the
creation of a revolving bond authorize
tion fund of $2,5OO,OOO,OOO; and Sec
ond, the consolidation of the two pres
ent revolving funds of S1O,OOO,OOO,OO
each into joint S2O,OOOO00,OOO fund
for bills, certificates and notes.

dispersed with warning from one
John Appel to "be sure you have
enough ammunition and be ready for
the call at any time."
The Kingfish was in New Orleans at
the time, but he hastened to Baton
Rouge while Governor Allen called out
some troops and proclaimed partial
martial law in the capital. Huey i'm
mediately ordered the recently ap-
pointed Judge ]. D. Womack to
start an investigation of what he de-
scribed as plot to murder him, in
which ''four sheriffs and a district at
torney" were involved. The senator
declared:
1--WE picked up two men, one Of them
was going to drive the murder car. 1t
was all fixed up. He was going to
block my car on the highway between
here and New Orleans, make it stop
and force me in the ditch, and then IA
or 16 were going to come along in an
other car and kill me-
"We found all the stuff in the fell
lows car. There was sheriff's equip
ment, and everything"
Maybe Huey was right, for one Sid
ney Songy testified at the inquiry that
he had been given gun, ammunition
and gas bombs to kill the senator.
Long blamed the Standard Oil COM
pany for the armed assembly of his
enemies in Baton Rouge and said that
unless the company stopped the ''vio-
lence' his compromise with it over
the 5-cent oil refinery tax would be
called off.
Despite this warning another armed
group of Square Dealers gathered at
the Baton Rouge air field; but some
one betrayed them and a detachment
of the National Guard advanced on
them in battle array. The sight of
machine guns was enough for the
citizenry; they surrendered. were dis
armed, placed under technical arrest

WHEN the senate passes the s4.-

as it certainly will after all the ora
tors get through, there need be no
fussing as to who is to administer the
huge fund. President. Roosevelt him
self, according in an authority high in
administration circles, will undertake
that job and will allocate the money
to the various agencies as he sees fit.
There will be no new set-up for this
purpose unless il. may be a small group
of advisors selected by Mr.. Roosevelt.
These may be members of the cabinet
or technical experts-more likely the
latter. This information was given
the senate finance committee as it be-
gan consideration of the bill, and was
designed to quiet some of the opposi-
tion and also to curb the ambition of
certain gentlemen who had hoped to

liquid IaxatiyeS

You'd use a liquid, too, if you knew
how much better it makes you feel.
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.
Just ask your own doctor about
this. Ask your druggist how popular
liquid laxatives have become. The
right liquid laxative gives the right
kind of help-and the right amount
of help. When the dose is repeated,
instead of more each time, you take
less. Until the bowels are moving
regularly and thoroughly without aid.
People who have experienced this
comfort, never return to any form of
help that can't be regulated The
liquid laxative generally used is DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. 1t contains
senna and cascara, and these are
natural laxatives that form no habit.
1t relieves a condition of biliousnesS

The run OF blues this year mas

the strong northeast winds that
have prevailed for so long that is
where they have stayed instead
of spreading on up the coast.
