DANVILLE, 111., Feb. 17.—A clash be tween the grand jury and the sheriff’s office is among the probabilities of the next few hours in the election fraud in vestigation. Ever since the elimination of State’s Attorney Lewman it is claimed that Foreman Woodyard has been hav ing trouble in securing witnesses, sub penas issued being returned witfi the in dorsement “person not found.” This morning Frank Collard, former Danville saloon keeper, converted during the Billy Sunday revival last year, and now himself an evangelist, voluntarily appeared before the grand jury. A sub pena had been issued for him several days ago. Collard says he was at home all day yesterday until evening. As soon as he left the house, a deputy called over the telephone and being Informed that Mr. Collard was not at home, immediate ly appeared at the house with the sub pena. Not finding his man, the officer marked the subpena “not at home,” and immediately returned to the sheriff’s office. f Bench warrants Issued on indictments returned a week ago have not been served and Foreman Woodyard believes such a condition antagonistic to the work of the grand jury exists In the sheriff’s office that he will be justified In start ing something that will assist the fu ture efforts of the grand jury as much as did the elimination of Lewman. HUNGARIAN BEWITCHED BY AMERICAN WOMEN NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—Count Appon yi, the Hungarian statesman, has given his opinion of American women. He says: “Your American women? They are wonderful—so active, so keenly alive, so healthy and enthusiastic. *‘l was standing by a window overlook ing Central park this morning and I saw two women swinging into the park valk. 'My word, those ladies are going at a tremendous pace,’ I remarked to the chap with whom I was conversing. He told me that sort of thing was quite customary that women prepared themselves for the strain of the day’s social demands by early morning ‘con stitutionals.’ It’s all in keeping with the splendid outdoor life to which your women seem addicted. “And speaking ot social demands. The American women’s social calendar is a marvel. For my life I can't see where she finds time to allow it and at the same time be actively interested in all manner of clubs and beneficial efforts. “She seems to have found the foun tain of youth too. I meet mothers and daughters at the same affairs and inva riably I must have the particular rela tion of each tb the other defined.’’ SAYS HE WAS OFFERED $12,000 FOR HIS VOTE NEW YORK. Fb. 16.—Actual proceed ings were begun in the trial of Frank J. Gardner, former state senator, accused of having attempted in 1908 to bribe Otto G. Foelker, then a state senator, now a member of congress, to help de feat Governor Hughes* anti-race betting legislation. Testifying Congressman Foelker de clared: “I met Gardner on a train coming to New York fr«m Albawy. Gardner said to me ‘we need your vote to defeat the race track bill. I will give you $2,000 down and the balance when the bill is defeated.* He said he (Would give me $12,000 in all, $2,000 more than the other senators were’getting, because I was a ‘friend of his.' “I told him I could not do any such a thing and I left him.” WANTsTdEMOCRAT TO FOLLOW TAFT WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.—Representa tive James Mann, republican, of Illinois, today on the floor of the house counseled election of a democratic president to succeed President Taft. The house was discussing the proposal to increase the pay of the secretary to the president to SIO,OOO a year. Representative Rainey, of Illinois, op posed it, saying that judging from the famous Incident of the ejection of Mrs. Minor Morris from the white house, what was needed was a Jack Johnson or John Sullivan as secretary to the presi dent. “The gentleman,” said Mann, “is just telling us what the democrats will have at the white house under the next ad ministration.** , ... Advanced Caso of Consumption Cured In Four Months Lung-Germine Co., Jackson, Mich. Dear Sirs: I feel it my duty to write you that I bare been saved from the grave by Lung- Germine.

Dear Doctor:— It is with pleasure that I write to you to let you know that after taking two months* treatment of Lung-Germine I am completely cured of Chronic ’Consumption. My case was diagnosed before taking your medicine by sev eral local physicians and they pronounced my case Chronic Consumption. They also told me that my right lung was so nearly closed up that not a particle of air entered It, and so to speak, was of no good to me whatever. I called on my regular physician the 10th of thia month again, and he tested my lungs. After doing so, he told me my lungs were sound as those of any healthy person. He was greatly surprised to find them In this condi tion. I must, of course, give Lung-Germine absolute credit for the condition my lungs are In today. I have increased in weight from 109 to 120 pounds, and so fnr as I can see, my cure Is complete. I assure you that I will recommend your Lung-Germine to any one whom I may run across with weak lungs. With best wishes, I remain. Sincerely yours, MRS. EMMA HAYWOOD, Ogden, Utah. P. S. —Please address all correspondence to me In my husband’s name. Mr. Jas. W. Haywood, Ogden, Utah, Gen. Del. Cured of Consumption Five Tsars Ago; Not a Single Symptom Km Appeared Sines Lung-Germine Co., Jackson, Mich. Gentlemen: In response to your inquiry I can say that Lung-Germine cured me com pletely and permanently of what was pronounced by my attending physicians GENUINE TUBER CULOSIS. I used only two bottles of your Lung-Germine, and this I took in March, 1902, so you see it is over five years since I was cured, and there is not the slightest Indication of a relapse, and not a single symptom has returned. Before using Lung-Germine I was losing flesh very rapidly, had night sweats, and I had two hemorrhages. I assure yon that I appreciate beyond expression what your medicine has done for me, and I hereby give you permission to publish my letter if you wish. Yours sincerely, WM. BERLEMAN, 1948 Herbert St, St Louis, Mo.

Boldt, of Cuero. Tex.: “I was permanently cured of lung and threat trouble by your Lung- Germine three years ago, and I am glad to say that I am feeling fine as silk, and I have not even suffered with a cold to amount to any thing since I was cured. Before using Lung- Germine I had tried almost every known reme dy and several of our best doctors without re lief, and I had lost alt hopes of ever getting well, I rcommend Lnng-Germlne as the only medicine in the world that gives permanent relief.” I Lung-Germine Co.. Jackson, Mich. Dear Sirs:*—l take great pleasure in report ing the remarkable cure I obtained by the use of your treatment. My case was diagnosed by several physicians and was pronounced genuine consumption. I had night sweats, fever and chills, a bad cough, and was losing rapidly In flesh.

I weigh at present 198 pounds, and am the stout est man on the W. V. R. R. I am confident that Lung-Germine saved my life, and it does me good to recommend It to other people suffer ing with weak lungs. I want every one to know what it has done for me. Very truly yours, L.

PRISONERS BREAK IN JAIL AS OTHERS TRY TO BREAK OUT | DALTON, Ga., Feb. 30.—Two tncidents showing a startling diversity in the do sires of different people occurred here Saturda/. Saturday morning, gome prisoners attempted to break into the county jail, and Saturday night some attempted, to break out. Those wanting to break in didn’t succeed; but those wanting to break out were successful, two making their escape. The ones who wanted to break in were federal prisoners who learned of the presence here of a deputy United States marshal. They had beea permitted the run of the jail yard, and one had been given an even longer beat. When Deputy Marshal Lee Cape came here from Rome after Ed Young, who was to be taken before Judge Newman, Young was missing. He later appeared at the jail after learning that the offi cer wanted him. While the officer was talking to Mrs. Gidbert, wife of the sheriff, at the front door of the jail, the prisoners were clamoring at the side .en trance. trying to get in. For years it has been the custom to grant federal prisoners many liberties; for a “moon shiner’s” word is almost invariably as good as his bond; and so greatly do they appreciate favors shown them that they have never yet made any attempt to es cape.
