SMUGGLERS OF GOWNS
ROB 0. S. OF MILLIONS
Three Arrests Have Already
Been Made at the Port
of Boston
(By Associated Press.)
BOSTON, March 29.—Operations of
smugglers of women’s gowns at this
♦port as a result of which three ar
rests already have been made, have
. defrauded the government of several
million dollars in the past five years.
This definite statement made by a lo
cal customs officer today is official con
firmation of reports that a widespread
conspiracy ^existed within the customs
office. •
All the firs which profited by the
evasion of import duties are located in
New York city, it was s^id. Their
number is uncertain! but may be as
many as eight or nine.
The investigation here and in New
York will result, it is expected, in the
arrest of most of the persons involved.
The greater number of these are mem
bers of or buyers for dressmaking
firms in New York, though one or two
members of the local customs staff
in addition to Terence L. Shevlin, who
with his wife is already accused, are
under suspicion. Another arrest prob
ably will be made her£ soon. The cus
tom officials .have known for a year
that frauds were being perepetrated
here. Some time ago an inspector, Her
mann W. Kuchmeister, was placed on
guard at the docks with instructions
to devote his time exclusively to
watching the arrivals of dressmakers
and their agents for evidence of
sleeper trunks operations. It was
Kuchmeister who uncovered the actual
• evidence of smuggling.
* The arrival here of Secretary Mc-
Adoo, of the treasury, who, according
to advices from Washington, is spend
ing the week-end in “buying” from office
seekers, was looked for today. Chief
Wilkie, ojf the United States treasury
agents, continued his activities, and
was in conference several hours with
Edwin U. Curtis, collector of the port
of Boston.
ROlOSlPFRlTFllN
IN OHIO ID INDIANA
Conditions Rapidly Improvingi
Government Supplies Are
Moved Toward Dayton
PHILADELPHIA, March 29.—Reports
received today at the general offices
of the Pennsylvania Railroad company
from the flood districts show that con
ditions are continuing to rapidly im
prove nearly all over the system. From
the headquarters of the western lines
at Pittsburg reports are to the effect
that many branch lines that had been
flooded are being placed in operation
today in Ohio and Indiana. Where
there are bad stretches of track de
tours are being made over other lines.
In western New York, in the vicinity
of Buffalo and Rochester improvement
''is also shown. On the Rochester branch
it will require twenty-four hours after
the water recedes to put the tracks in
condition.
In western Pennsylvania 1 . conditions
are reported to be “good.”
The rapidity with which traffic is
being resumed indicates, according to
railroad officials, that the financial loss
on account of the floods is no*t as
great as had been anticipated.
The Pennsylvania is today moving
360,000 pounds of government supplies
from the Brooklyn riavy yard for Day-
ton. Two trains are on the way and
two others are being loaded at Brook
lyn. f
Because of the condition of telephone
and telegraph lines only meager pri
vate advices have been received in this
city by corporations that operate elec
tric railways. in Ohio and Indiana. The
financial losses, according to those in
terested, do not appear to be as great
as was feared.

NAS&VILLE, Tenn., March 29.—
Arrested here tonight’on a state’s war
rant sworn out by a local furniture
company, charging the misappropriation
of $5,50* Albert Carroll, aged 22, the
moment the door of the police station
slammed behind him, swallowed a quan
tity of poison, from which he died three
minutes after being rushed to the city

Carroll had been employed by the
furniture company as a collector and
claimed that he had used the firm’s
money to fight divorce proceedings re
cently instituted by his pretty young
wife.
FLY TO PIECES
The Effect of Coffee on High
ly Organized People
. “I have been a coffee user for years,
and about two years ago got Into a very
serious condition of dyspepsia and in
digestion. It seemed to me I would,
fly to pieces. .1 was so nervous that at
the least noise I was distressed, and
many times could not straighten myself
up because of the pain.”
Tea is just as injurious, because it
contains caffeine, the same drug found
in coffee.
“My physician told me I must not eat
any heavy or strong food and ordered a
diet, giving me some medicine. I fol
lowed directions carefully, but kept on
using coffee and did not get any better.
' “Last winter my husband, who was
away on business, had Postum served
to him in the family where he boarded.
He liked it so well that when he
came home he brought some with him.
We began using % it and I found it most
excellent.
“While I drank it my stomach never
bothered me in th£ least, and I got
over my nervous t troubles. When the
Postum was gone we returned to cof
fee, then my stomach began to hurt me
as before and the nervous conditions
came on again.
“That showed me exactly what was
the cause of the whole trouble, sp I quit
dflnking coffee. altogether and kept on
using Postum. The old troubles left
again and have never returned.”

Declares Tariff Revision Bill,
Including Free Sugar, Will
Be Passed and Authorize
An Income Tax
• t
Just before leaving Atlanta Satur
day on his return to Washington, Sen
ator Hoke Smith talked interestingly
of t)ie important legislation which the
democratic administration had mapped
out. He gave it as his opinion that at
the extra session, beginning April 7,
congress would pass the tariff revision
bill, including a free sugar bill; that
it would enact an income tax bill, and
that tentative measures looking to a
reform of the cohntry’s banking and
currency system would be introduced.
Of particular interest to the fanmers
of.* Georgia and the south was the
statement of Senator Smith that he
had no doubt the taxes would be taken
off agricultural implements, ties, bag
ging and wire fencing.
“It is impossible for me to make any
accurate estimate as to how long the
extra session will last,” said Senator
Smith. The first measures and the
chief measure which will certainly be
considered will be a tariff bill, the
purpose of which will be to reduce the
present tariff taxes in conformity with
the democratic platform. The Demo
crats on the finance committee of the
senate will cordially co-operate with
the Democrats on the ways and means
committee of the house to help per
fect a bill which will pass both
houses.
WILL PASS INCOME TAX BILL.
“In connection with the tariff, an
income tax bill will be passfed at the
extra session, and the great wealth
of the country will, through it, bear,
as never heretofore, its just propor
tion of the burdens of the govern
ment.”
Senator Smith stated that when he
left Washington a week ago it had not
been determined whether the actual .leg-
Hati* of the special session would be
limited to the tariff. “There is,” said
he, strong sentiment to perfect, if
possible, a banking and currency bill.
This, however; is a subject- about which
there is so much dispute, it is difficult
to reach a measure on which action can
be had. That it will be considered at
the extra session and that tentative
measures will be presented for general
iticism, I feel sure. I realize that it
is- absolutely essential to legislate upon
this subject, and if we do not' accom
plish anything during the extra session,
it will be the great work of the regular
session next winter, the tentative work
of the special session being left for, fur
ther study during the vacation, and -for
action when congress meets in Decem
ber.” H ,
NEW MARKET BUREAU.
Of especial interest to Senator Smith
il the market division of the department
of agriculture, created by the congress
just closed. It is his purpose at the
special session to introduce bills de
signed to enlarge and perfect the work
of the market division. Discussing this
new feature of the government, Senator
S ith said:
“I expect the work of the market di-
visio to prove a ^reat benefit to the
peopie of the entir country. It has
been estimated by one of the closest stu
dents of this subject that better modes
of selling should increase the average
net profit of each farmer family in the
Unite l States two hundred dollar^ a
year, while better modes of buying
should lessen the average cost of liv
ing of each farmer family two hundred
doll -.rs a year.
“Of course,' I do not look for such
a result to immediately follow, but in
a few years I know that the intelligent
study by the government of better
modes of selling, with Lie information
carried to the farmers of the country,
must necessarily largely increase the
profits to the farmer; while, at the same
time, it will not increase the cost of
living to the consumer.
'“The waste which now takes place
between producer and consumer can
hardly b^ realized. The former secre
tary of agricultqre recently stated ior
what, the farmer gets fifty cents, the
.consumer pays a dollar.’ What becomes
of this fifty cents increase to .the con
sumer? The railroads say they only
get a small part of it; the middle men
r ay theyjpnly get a small part.of it. It
is conceded that a large part of it. is
wasted by bad modes of selling and
’ ad 19c.es of buying. It is this loss
that intelligent investigation with
knowledge gathered and applied both to
selling and buying should bring to a
stop.”
AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION BILL.
Senator Smith will introduce again, at
the special session, his bill for agricul
tural extension work. This bill is de
signed to enable the state colleges of ag
riculture to carry to the farmers all the
knowledge that has been gathered at
both agricultural colleges and experi
ment stations. It passed the house at
the last session but was defeated in the
senate by an almost party vote. Senator
Smith'is confident 'that the new senate
will promptly pass the measure.
As chairman of the committee on edu
cation and labor Senator Smith will use
his influence in favor of vocational edu
cation. “It is my purpose,” said he,
“to seek to interest the national govern
ment to stimulate more proficient train
ing throughout the different states in
the varied avocations to which our peo
ple apply themselves for the purpose of
earning livelihoods. It was my interest
in this measure which in part led me to
take the chairmanship of the-committee
on education and labor.”
Commenting upon ftis opposition to the
pension bill introduced at 'the last ses
sion Senator Smith said: “I have op
posed the extravagant pensions beoause
I believed it far. better if the money
was to be spent to use it to help pre
pare .the child and the man for the work
of life, to enable both to become strong
and self-reliant.”
“The great purpose of the present
Democratic administration,” declared
Senator Smith, “will be service to the
masses of the people. There' will £e
no hold upon the president or congress
by special interests. To the extent of
their wisdom they will seek to do those
things which will broaden the oppor
tunity of the average man and stimu
late him to better use the opportunity
which he may have.”

(By Associated Press.)
DAYTON, O., March 29.—Mayor Ed
ward Phillips, who was reported drown
ed, with his family was marooned more
than 60 hours in tiis home on Mount
street. He Was rescued by boats.
“The water caught us early Tuesday
morning” Mayor Phillips said. “During
Tuesday the water was 14 feet deep
around the house and that night 1
chopped a hole through the ceiling of
a second floor room and we spent the
night in a little attic. .
“The big west side fire was just two
blocks from us v and when the wind
began to carry burning embers in our
direction it looked serious. I watched
the roof nearly all night. Late Thurs
day afternoon my wire, daughter, son
and myself were takefl out by boats.”
ON TELEGRAPH POLE 36 HOURS.
How five people clung for thirty-six
hours on a telegraph pole where they
had climbed from a moving wagon, how
a physician, his four-year-old boy and
a negro woman servant were jammed
up against a building and saved only
by the swift current which kept their
disabled boat clinging to the wall, and
how scores of other persons were sav
ed was revealed today when free com-
muncation was establisned with rescu
ers who had worked in the flooded dis
trict ever since the water poured in
last Tuesday before daylight.
“I was patrolling the water’s edge
for tires a few hours after the levee
broke when I heard cries for help down
a street where the water was fifteen
feet deep,” said William Carver, captain
of an engine company.
'Td seen four women and a man in
a moving van which had been washed
for a half mile when they struck a
telegraph pole. The horses were
drowned and the van was atfout to tum
ble over when the man and women suc
ceeded in cliffibing up the pole. All
that day they clung there in freezing
rain and sleet. Each of them took
turns, crying for help. Not until the
next "day did boats reach them.
“Crossing the flood to get to the
buildings where people were marooned
we founu the water rushing down
Bro. dway and Mount streets with such
force it was impossible to get across
except by drifting down stream and
managing to navigate die boat across
while drifting. Tuesday night I found
Lr. D. A. Allaman, his son and a ne-
gress c. nging to a wall at Broadway
and the Panhandle railroad tracks.
They had attempted to row across th*
street, but their boat hit a telegraph
pole and was split in two. We got them
away in boats.
“Vh£n fire broke out at Broadway
and iviound, I saw one man in a boat
row. around in circles and while the
people in he upper floors of opposite
buildings were screaming for help, this
ma. was yelling, ‘Twenty-five dollars a
head if you want to be saved; twenty-
five dollars a head.’ Somebody came
aloi in another boat and threw this
man into the water. His boat was
then used to save others.”
John Kirby, Jr., president of the
National Association of Manufacturers,
and his family, who were marooned in
their home since Tuesday morning,
wer- able ^ reach the relief station at
the Cash Register office yesterday aft
ernoon. The water rose 11 feet in the

Floating Barrel of Cabbage
Saves Marooned Operators,
Citizen in Business Section
(By Associated Press.)
DAYTON, Ohio, March 29.—Surgeon
General Rupert Blue, of the United
States public health service, arrived
here this afternoon. Citizens of Day-
ton swarmed' over the business sec
tion for the first time since Tuesday
morning, 'when the flood rushed over
the town. The military announced trat
those who would dare the mud and
occasional patches of water in the hol
lows might cross the bridges from
other parts of the city without obtain
ing official permission.
In the Beckel house, which was at
first supposed to have burned with
heavy loss of life, the water never
reached the second floor. The lobby,
however, like every other building in the
flooded district, was inches* deep with
mud.
Nine We^lern Union operators were
marooned in their office for 48 hours.
They subsisted on a Parrel of cabbage
which floated down the alley at the
side of the building. Another refugee
in this place was a horse, which stood
in the water for 24 hours and partook
liberally of the cabbage.

BY CALHOUN PEOPLE
(Special Dispatch to The* Journal.)
CALHOUN, Ga., March 29.—The re
cent cyclone and the other heavy
storms which have been experienced in
Gordon county during the past month
have caused people everywhere to resur
rect old storm pits and to dig new
ones. Owing to the heavy rains, the
farmers have been idle and have used
their spare time for v this purpose.
It is impo'ssible to travel even a
short distance without seeing these evi

It is a safe prediction that the next
storm that comes this way will find
hundreds of citizens in safe hiding.

Electrocution of Bandits Fol

enth-Hour Fight Jo Save
Them Is Thwarted Suddenly
RICHMOND, Va., March 28.—Floyd Al
len and his son Claude, the only two of
the Hiilsville gunmen to pay the death
penalty for the Carroll court house mur
ders a ytar ago, were electrocuted in the
state penitentiary shortly after 1 p. m.
today, after a dramatic eleventh-hour at
tempt to save them had been thwarted
by Governor Mann unexpectedly return
ing to the capital, thus preventing the
lieutenant governor from acting upon a
request for a commutation.
FLOYD ALLEN UNNERVED.
Floyd Allen, leadei jf the outlaw band,
an aged prisoner, terribly unnerved by
the excitement incident to the delay of
six hours in carrying out the sentence
went to the chair at 1:20 o’clock. He was
pronounced dead at 1:26 o’clock.
The prison guards next brought Claude
Swanson Allen, son of Floyd, into the
death chamber at 1:30 o’clock. He was
dead at 1:35.
Governor Mann today cut through the
maze of constitutional questions , con
cerning the lieutenant governor’s right
to interfere in the case of the Allens
by returning to Virginia soil. From
Washington he telegraphed here that he
would, be in Virginia by 8 o’clock and
in Richmond before noon, the hour at
which Lieutenant Governor Ellysop was
expected to announce whether or not
he would commute the sentence of
Claude Allen, as urged last night by Al
len sympathizers.
With Governor Mann again in his own
state, the proceedings before Lieutenant
Governor Ellyson automatically ended,
and friends of the condemned men who
worked all through the night and who
took up the fight again this morning
with renewed hope, admitted that the
last chance had been lost. They did not
expect* clemency from Governor Mann,
although it was suggested that he be
urged tQ grant a respite. Word came
from the pen, however, th^t the jury
summoned by Superintendent Wood for
7 o’olockj this morning had been order
ed to report again at 1 o'clock.

Eats Freely But
Has No Dyspepsia
Takes a mild laxative with
good pepsin and in
sures comfort and
pleasure.
Fortunate is the one who can, eat
"anything” without suffering the tor
tures of dyspepsia, but as few are so
fortunate car§ 4 should be taken in fhe
matter of diet. Eating slowly, masti
cating the food thoroughly and taking
a short walk after the hf-avv meal of
the day will do much towards assisting
digestion. Any grown-up person ought
to know the peculiar foods that do "not
agree, and these should be avoided.
When these common-sense aids fail,
the next thing to do is to take a mild
digestivS tonic with laxative properties,
and there is none better than Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Pepsin. It contains the
greatest of all aids to digestion, good
pepsin. It has other ingredients that
act mildly on the bowels, which togeth
er forth a combination for the relief of
dyspepsia or indigestion that is unsur
passed.
Its action is to tone and strengthen
the stomach and bowel muscles so that
they can again do their work naturally
without outside aid, and when that hap
py moment comes all medicine can be
dispensed with. It is the best remedy
obtainable for any disorder of, the stom
ach, liver and bowels, for dyspepsia,
constipation, biliousness, headaches,
drowsiness after eating, gas on the
stomach, etc. Thousands of users will
testify to this, among them Mrs. Oliver
Young, Merrill, Wls. She says: "After
many years suffering from indigestion
I have obtained what I believe to be
permanent relief by using Dr. Caldwell’s
