2 SENATOR SMITH ASKS REPORT ON BRUNSWICK PORT At the request of Senator Hoke Smith, the senate commerce commit tee has called upon the secretary of war to report to that body whether the project for the Imprdvemnt ot Brunswick harbor, adopted last year, provides for sufficient depth to en able the deepest draft ships to enter and leave the harbor without wait ing the tide. In amendment to this effect was placed on the recent rivers and har bors bill, but tne conferees on the part of the house refused to agree to the amendment and It was re jected. Senator Jones, chairman of the committee, agreed to request this Information of the secretary of War without the necessity of an amendment, and it was in response to this request of Senator Smith that the commerce committee adopted the following resolution: “Resolved by the committee on commerce ot the senate of the Unit ed States that the secretary of war is hereby requested to report to this committee on or before the conven ing of the third session of the sikty sixth congress whether or not the project for the improvement of Brunswick harbor, Georgia, adopted by the act of March 2, 1919, pro vides sufficent depth to enable the deepest draft ships of all regular lines using this port to reach their docks or the sea, when fully laden, without being delayed by the neces sity of awaiting high water or using two tides to enter or leave the har bor; and, if adequate depths are not provided by the existing project, whether sufficient depths would be provided by the larger of the two projects reported by the chief of engineers in house document num bered 393, sixty-fourth congress, first session.” This Information was given to Sen ator Smith, in a letter from the sen ate committee, which stated that this resolution was prepared and sent to the secretary in conformity with Senator Smith’s request. At present it Is necessary for the deeper draft ships to wait for the tide both in leaving and entering Brunswick harbor and the adoption of the “larger project” would mean the approval of the government to the deeping of the channel so that that harbor would be accessible at all times to deep draft ships without waiting for the tides. Santiago Returns to Normal Condition After Election Stir SANTIAGO. Chile, July I.—The disturbed conditions in Santiago, due to the uncertainty over the result of last Friday’s presidential election, had apparently passed today, the normal life of the city being resumed.

The official figures on the choice of presidential electors to the elec toral college so* far as compiled ac cording to the latest announcement, give Luis Barros Borgono, the Lib eral-Unionist candidate. 133 votes, and Arturo Alessandri, candidate of the liberal alliance, 128 votes. (A Santiago dispatch of June 28 gave the unofficial figures as 175 electors for Alessandri and 173 for Borgono.) The indications are that it will be several days before the complete of ficial count Is known.

Germans Sting Tourists BERLIN, Germany.—All foreigners stop ping at German hotels will have to pay their bills in the currency of their home country or in German money with a super tax of 300 per cent. ABE LINCOLN WAS NOMINATED IN JUST 26 WORDS CHICAGO. —The nomination ora ' tory which marks the two great po- I litical conventions this year is in sharp contrast to the nominating speeches of the early days of the parties. This has been brought out afresh by inquiry at the Chicago His torical society and the Newberry li brary here. In the first great Republican con vention Abraham Lincoln was nomi nated for the first time, by Mr. Judd, of Illinois, in these words: “I desire on behalf of the delega tion from Illinois to put in nomina tion as a candidate for president ot the United States, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois.” The first national nominating con vention of the Democratci party was held twenty-eight years earlier, in Baltimore, May 21-23, 1532. It was at thi-? gathering that Andrew Jack son was indorsed for his second term. Jackson had been nominated pre viously in a number of states by the methods which were then passing away ana according to the Newberry library it is doubtful if there was any speech at all placing him in nom ination at the first Democratic na tional convention. The business ot this convention was principally to nominate for the vice presidency. The convention adopted a resolu tion concurring in Jackson’s "repeat ed non mations.” The resolution was drawn in sixty words. Previous to that time (from 1800) to IS'JI nominations for the presi dency and vice presidency, the well known reference library says, were by congressional nominating caucus, consisting of party members of both houses cf congress. The last con gressional caucus was held In 1824, Jackson oppoairg the “king caucus” as it was termed, as undemocratic. Tn IR2B he was nominated by state legislative caucuses and conventions held in various states. Following this, popular state conventions grew up and out of them came the na tional conventions. How to Heal Leg Sores A WONDERFUL treatment that heals leg sores or Varicose Ulcers without pain or knife is described in a new book which readers may get free by writing a card or letter to Dr. H. J. Whittier, Suite 229, 1100 Mcgee, Kansas City, Mo.—(Advt.) Mrs. Fairey L. May, Atlanta Woman, Is Pardoned by Wilson A telegram was received Thursday morning by Hooper Alexander, United States district attorney, announcing that President Wilson had pardoned Mrs. Fairey Lethe May, under a two months’ prison sentence for rais ing $1 bills to $lO. Mrs. May was to have begun her sentence Thurs day. She pleaded guilty in the fed eral court here April 1, and her sen tence was set to begin July 1. She claimed she was driven to counter feiting because her husband’s salary was too small to support the family. The case was an odd one. Mrs. May ratluer cleverly raised one or two $1 bills' to $lO and passed them prlndipally through the medium of her small son. At Atlanta woman took much interest in the woman’s plight after her arrest, and was in strumental in getting her free on bond, pending the beginning of her sentence; and also worked for her pardon, with the result that it was granted. The formal pardon papers will coma by mail. On the telegraphic an nouncement, Mr. Alexander will com municate the good news to Mrs. Maj’ that she does not need to report for a prison term. , Germany’s Total Debt BERLIN, July I.—Germany’s total debt is 265,000,000,000 marks.

The Journal) SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. July I. The Palmer delegates from Geor gia were quite conspicuous Wed nesday afternoon in the demonstra tion attending the, nomination of their candidate. The Georgia ban ner was born aloft in the stalwart arms of Colonel H. H. Dean, of Gainesville. Levi Reeves, of At lanta and Cartersville, took off his glasses and yelled himself perfect ly blue in the face as he marched around the hall Neyle Colquitt, of Savannah, grab bed a fair young thing who wore a Palmer badge and was slim enough to tote on one’s shoulder. He bore her around for half an hour, and that was enough for Colonel Col quitt. Her name and address were a minor consideration. He around with her like a Kentucky saddle horse in a show ring, while the girl waved a Palmer pennant and shouted herself hoarse. Certain bold members of the Georgia delegation tried to take her away from Col onel Colquit, but he wouldn’t stand for it. Cockran Whoops ’Em Tip But while the Cox demonstration exceeded in enthusiasm the Palmer demonstration, which gave the im prtJßion of manufactured pyrotech nics', it remained for that veteran orator and Democratic war horse, W. Bourke Cockran, of New York, to lauch the first burst of real spon taneous enthusiasm which up to that moment had occurred since the con vention opend. Mr. Cockran placed in nomination the name of Governor Al Smith, of New York, the remarkable Democrat who was peddling fruit and selling newspapers along the east side less than twenty-five years ago. He gave a thrilling and dramatic recital of the governor’s rise in politics. He cited Al Smith as the ultimate an swer to every anarchist wno asserts the proposition that an American does not enjoy absolute equality of opportunity with every other Amer ican. He declared that Governor Smith’s nomination would demon strate the power of conversion as against the futility of coercion in dealing with all varieties of malcon tents and agitators. He wound up by saying that the Democracy of New York, while offering Governor Smith, was offering him reluctlantly. and if he was not the choice of this convention for president of the United States, he would be again the choice of New York Democracy for governor of the state, as a means of insur ing Democratic victory in that state in the next election. As the grand old lawyer finished his speech, the monster pipe organ plunged into the magic melody of “Rosy O’Grady,” and the Tammany delegates stood up and waived Amer ican flags. Presently, the conven tion seemed to catch on fire with a fever of enthusiasm, the Tammany delegation left their seats and be gan a march around the hall. New Jersey followed them. Vermont join ed in, lowa joined, so did Connecti cut, so did Georgia, so did Cali fornia, and Louisiana, and West Vir ginia, and Mississippi, and Missouri, and Pennsylvania, and Illinois, and so on down the line until every state banner was bobbing in the line marc hed through the aisles, while the pipe organ continued to oewitch the mammoth crowd with the melodious strains of Irish songs. , wa ® Perfectly spontaneous and unexpected. It was a tribute to Irish eloquence as exemplified by W. Bourke Cochran; to Irish melody as played by the organist, with the band joining in; to Tammany’s good spirit and good manners, as splendidly ex pressed in the great lawyer’s speech, and, finally, as a sign that the dele gates wanted to get up and stretch their legs. Verse after verse, and chorus after chorus the organ played oathe tun e of “Rosy O’Grady,” Ahei: great convention hall • thr,obhcd...with a stupendous hum of voices,.-, joining in the song. Veteran- politicians and newspaper men declared they never saw in any convention such a remarkable upris ing of sudden enthusiasm, totally un premeditated, unplanned and undirect ed. As a fitting climax to the dem onstration, Mrs. Lillian Sire, a New York delegate, secended the nomina tion of Governor Smith in a speech expressing their grateful apprecia tion of the tribute paid to him, and the Virginia standard-bearer march ed to the rostrum and presented her a gorgeous bouquet of flowers. Georgians' Second Choice The Georgia delegation talk dif ferent ways concerning their second choice in the event Attorney Gen real Palmer cannot be nominated. Some are holding for Palmer to the finish, as the hard-headed members of the Georgia delegation held out for Underwood at the Baltimore conven tion eight years ago, while others are in favor of going to McAdoo after a few ballots, and a third ele ment favor going to Cox. While the Palmer demonstration was quite spectacular in many ways, it did not have the pep or spontaneous enthu siasm of the Cox demonstration, and was not in a class with the demon stration for Governor Cox, of Ohio, or Governor Al Smith, of New York, or ex-Secretary McAdoo. The ’after demonstration swept the convention into a furore of excite>- ment. Practically every delegate on the floor was on his feet for forty five minutes, either participating in the demonstration or watching it in tently, and the press box was in a state of pandemonium for the first time since the convention opened. The Palmer forces had employed a tall and raw-boned and red-haired cheer leader from the University of California to lead their demonstra tion, and he certainly earned his money. The Cox forces came along with another cheer leader, who hailed from Ohio, and went the Californian one better by climbing to the top of the chairman’s pulpit and danc ing like a snake-bitten Indian. He was certainly the goods, that Cox cheer leader. He also had a shock of red hair. He wore white trous ers and a white shirt with sleeves rolled up, and carried a megaphone. He kept the Cox demonstration going for thirty-six minutes, which was four minutes longer than the Palmer demonstration. The Cox band also contributed materially to the festivi ties by playing “Are You From Dixie” until the entire convention was ready to dance. McAdoo Ncfl.se Elips-es AU And then came the perfectly de vastating demonstration for McAdoo, which eclipsed Everything that had gone before. Rev. Burris Jenkins, the Kansas City publisher and poli tician and preacher, was introduced. He was greeted with cheers. He lifted his hand for silence. “I had | Intended,” said he, "to make an ad dress presenting the name of a dis inguished Democrat for president f the United States. But on ac •ount of his persistent requests I i have decided not to nominate him ■in a speech. I feel sure, however, from the spirit manifested here, that we shall draft him for the service of his country. We know if he is drafted he will accept the nomina tion. Any published statement that he will not accept the nominations is a slander perpetrated by enemies of the party. I, therefore, place in nomination the name of the Hon. William Gibbs McAdoo.” Instantly pandemonium broke loose in the hail. Every delegate leaped to his feet. The whole press box climbed on top of their desks. A man in the Missouri delegation grab bed the banner and started to march. Another man grabbed him and tried to hold him back. A fight was on. The banner was broken like a match stem in the enraged hands of a dozen furious delegates. Finally one got hold of the ragged fragment of pasteboard bearing the name of the state and darted down the aisle with a smile of triumph on his face. A team of McAdoo boost i ers mounted the rostrum and took I possession of it. They were from I Texas, and the flung into the white > light flooding them from a power i ful battery of search lights the flag of the United States, and the flag of their state, which was once a Re public with one lone star as the em blem of its courage and self-reliance State after state fell in bahind the Missouri delegate who married with the fragment of his banner. The band and pipe organ played “Over BIT OF PAPER IN SUBWAY ENDS LO VER’S LONG QUEST * . fife Ik Bm||l . |j ' X'Ww Hl X Jk Helene Anderson NEW YORK. —Valdimlr Olsen, of Copenhagen, an officer of the Dan ish government, was engaged to Helene Anderson.

With Recommendations for Distribution of Railroad Revolving Fund Made WASHINGTON, July I.—Detailed recommendations for the distribution of the sums set aside out of the $300,000,000 revolving fund provided by the transportation act for the purchase of new equipment and for additions and betterments were made to the interstate commerce commis sion today by Thomas Cuy ler, chairman of the Association of Railway Executives.

President Pardons Early Whitehead ATHENS, Ga., July 1. —President Wilson, acting upon the recommenda tion of the department of justice, has pardoned Early Whitehead of Madison county. News of this fact was conveyed in a telegram from the attorney general, i Win. L. Frie” gon, to Congressman C. H. Brand, of Athens. Young Whitehead was tried and sentenced to sixty days in jail dur ing the last term of the fedral court held in Athens by Judge Samuel H. Sibley, because he failed to register. The only issue before the jury was whether or not. he was eighteen years of age. Whitehead contended he was not eighteen at the time of the draft. Judge Sibley, in a communication subsequent to the trial, stated he did not think there was any intention on the part of the boy to be a de serter, though he did not recommend a pardon. ? The case was brought to the atten tion of Judge Brand by Gordon and Gordon, of Danielsville. He imme diately tpok the matter up, in per son, with the attorney general. A petition asked for his pardon. The petition was signed by many promi nent citizens of Madison county, in • eluding the county officers and the registration board of the county. There,” while the floor of the audi torium raged like . the surface of a storm-swept ocean, and the mam moth semi-circle of spectators in the gallery rose to their feet and shriek ed like maniacs. Rally to McAdoo Standard Suddenly there mounted to the chairman’s pulpit a good-looking wo wan, with a black and white plaid skirt and a Kansas badge. She threw above her head a McAdoo banner of bright green silit, with the name of McAdoo in letters of white, and a border of orange. Suddenly the pro cession began to halt in front of the rostrum. Texas stopped first and threw up its banner like a chal lenge of defiance. Kansas stopped and took its stand beside the Lone Star state. Washington stopped and threw aloft its banner. Then Wis consin, then North Carolina, then South Dakota, then Wyoming, then Delaware. One by one the banners gathered to the McAdoo standard un til there was ranged in front of the rostrum the states above named and also the states of South Carolina, Florida, Utah, Nevada, Idaho. Cali fornia, Nebraska, Arizona, Michigan and the territories of Alaska, Hawaii, the Philippines and Porto Rico. Then came the state of Illinois, with its monster delegation amidst a thunder of applause, to be followed by Rhode Island and Tennessee. Rev. Burris Jenkins stood on top of a table on the stage and surveyed the scene with a gleam of triumph in his eyes, a flood of white light poured upon him by the searchlights in the gallery. The band and organ shifted their tunes to “atS srand Stripes Forever.” The mammoth auditorium, built of concrete and steel, seemed to quived and tremble in the hurri cane of cheers. Th demonstration started at 4:35 and continued with increasing enthusiasm until 5:16. Thomas A. Love, national com mitteeman from the state of Texas, appeared on the rostrum and made a sign for silence. It took him four minutes to quiet the tumult, the Mc- Adoo outburst had run without abate ment for forty-five minutes. It seemed all gver with the other can didate's. Valdimir Olsen characteristic Danish patience, he waited. And then— Standing in the subway one day a letter fluttered at his feet, blown along by the rush of a train. He picked it up. “Miss Helene Anderson.” the ad dress read; “138 W. Eighty-third street.” “The old love came back when I saw Valdimi'r,” says Miss Anderson. “Any man that will search nearly a year for a girl loves her better than anyone else could. Yes, we’ll be mar ried.” SPA CONFERENCE HOPES TO SOLVE PROBLEMS OF WAR LONDON, July 1. —Entente repre sentatives will go to the Spa. confer ence With a firm determination to clear up the many controversies in connection with the German peace treaties, it was authoritatively stat ed here today. Conclusion of the Spa meeting will find the disarmament, reparations and economic issues def initely disposed of, it was stated. The conference at Brussels, which will be preliminary to the Spa meet ing, will - determine the maximum concessions to be made to Germany by the allies and the mimimum of Ge. man obligations. It was understood that Premiers Lloyd George and Millerand have agreed on the proposals to be sub mitted to German representatives. In diplomatic circles the opinion was expressed that these first proposals would certainly be rejected by the Germans, in which event the Ger man representatives would be invited to submit counter proposals. Considerable doubt was felt re garding the probable attitude of Italian Premier GioLitti toward the entente negotiations, but it was not believed any serious disagreements would arise. The Russian, Turkish and Polish problems will be considered at Brus sels. It was expected they would be informally taken up at Spa also. Decisions reached at the Spa con ference will not be contingent upon America’s acceptance. The United States will not be officially repre sented. but Americans attending the conference in an unofficial capacity will be consulted regarding various questions. The British official who is an as sociate of Lloyd George declared to day that Great Britain was through with ‘‘diplomacy taat gets nowhere.” He said there would be no squab bling at Spa over non-essential de tails, as the entente was animated by a desire to reach quickly an equit able and workable solution to the questions on which decisions are to be reached. It was understood that Premier Millerand held this same view but was determined to hold Ger many to the letter of the peace treaty on the more important issues, such as disarmament, deliveries of coal to France and guarantees against aggression. Devil Invented Auto, Says Dr. Broughton KNOXVILLE, Tenn., July 3.—The automobile was invented by the devil, asserted Rev. Len G. Broughton, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist church, in an address to the East Tennessee Women’s Missionary union here. He declared that the devi “never made a shrewder invention. “I think he must have at least had a hand in it from the servic he is getting out of it,” Dr. Brough ton said. “It has come to such a pass that one-third of a city congre gation will be away from the Sun day service driving in the country, at some mountain or water resort having a good time on Sunday. When we talk of good roads, which are all right in their way, we must fix our fences so the church will not be the loser as it always is.” Jap Agitators Blamed For Bomb Explosion TOKIO, June 30.—The bomb out rage which occurred outside tne house of representatives today is at tributed by the newspapers to agi tators opposed to the present min istry.

Although the iron gateway was damaged and the window panes in the front of the structure, as well as those of a nearby building 1 were demolished, no casualties were caused.

TURN TO BETTER BUSINESS HAS ALREADY BEGUN WASHINGTON, July I.—Business is passing through a period of. re adjustment and, in many instances, of depression,, the federal reserve board declared last night in its June review of general business and fi nancial conditions of the country. "There is, however, every indica tion that this transition period will not last long—lndeed, that the turn toward new conditions has already been taken,” declared the board’s summary of reports of its agents who, taking the country as a whole, found considerable variation in busi ness conditions. • » Reduction in retail prices, begun in May, became universal during June, it was said in explanation ot the continued large volume of re tail trade. The price-cutting move ment, the board said, had been aided bv the refusal of the public to pay high prices, although the tendency of wholesale prices to maintain cur rent levels was declared to have been a cunteracting influence. Ex cept for clothing and stioes, all es sential commodities, including food stuffs, show little indication of re duction, but luxuries and non-es sentials in many lines have been "distinctly cut.’’ "Quite generally there is a ten dency to settle down to a readjust ment basis and to proced with uusi ness upon a new level of prices and demand,” the board asserted. “Con trol of credit and discrimination be tween non-essential and speculative, borrowing are producing some re sults, although these are reported as developing themselves slowly and gradually. The present price situa tion is unsettled, and is being close ly watched. While some price re porting agencies show a reduction, others show increases.” Congestion of Goods Although some improvement in transportation was noted, the rail roads were said not to have yet over come the breakdown and ‘‘great con gestion of goods” was reported still exist. Frequent complaints of car shortage were reflected by the agents’ reports, some indicating a menacing shortage of coal, which, unless remedied, will “seriously in terfere with manufacturing.” The reports on manufacturing for the month, however, ranged from ex treme optimism to equally extreme pessimism. Fossibly the most encouraging factor for the month was the im provement of agricultural prospects, all crops except cotton showing im provement with seasonable weather, good distribution of rainfall and replanting of crops. , Distinct improvement in the mbney situation was noted during the month, although It was said that conditions in the financial centers showed little change. Control of credit, it was said, was assisted ma terially by the Advanced interest rate on treasury ertificates of in debtedness, and the higher rates of discount at federal, reserve banks. Industral operations during the month of May and the early part of June continued to suffer from un certainty on account of the labor sit uation, according to the board. Lit tle relief has been obtained in con nection with the labor situation on farms, the board said, while unrest in some of the basic industries, notably • transportation, has been maintained. Strikes Hold up Business Sporadic strikes in many parts ol the country, particularly on the east ern seaboard, have been a serious deterrent ,to the movement of goods and the continuance of manufactur ing, the board asserted. Employes are generally feeling that further advances in wages present great dif ficulty on account of the resistanc c of the public to further increase 4 n prices, the report said. The worst condition respecting crops was said to relate to cotton, it appearing from the Atlanta dis trict reports that the poor conditions already reported by the govern ment nave been but little improved and that the acreage will be small, with tlje yield low. The Atlanta reports, referring tq general conditions, said that there was a tendency oji tHfe phtt of thq; to refuse to pay -exorbitant prices and that the VdluMe of re tail business had decrease-d after be ing stimulated bv price cuts. “Thera is, on the whole,” said the Atlanta report,, "no uneasiness con cerning the future of business ani industry. It is becoming more and more apparent, however, that the process of deflation has begun.’’ The Richmond district reported “the break down of the traffic sys tem and the wave of price cutting in retail stores were the outstanding features.” Widespread • protest against high prices, it was added, haq had ah unsettling effect in all lines of trade. Women Try to See Tennessee Delegates SAN FRANCISCO, July I.—Repre sentatives of )the national woman’s party who plapned to hold a confer ence with members of the Tennessee delegation today in the interest of the passage of the suffrage amend ment through the special session of the' Tennesseee legislature, have called it off. Judge W. C. Houston and other members of the delega tion showed no disposition to con fer with the suffrage leaders and tl\« meeting was abandoned, according to Mrs. Abby Scott Baker, of Wash ington, and the woman will meet the North Carolina delegate sinstead to day.

Dept. 6397 Chicago ALL WRONG WAS HER LIVER Before Taking Black- Draught, Missouri Lady Was Troubled With Con stipation, Headache and Bad Taste in Mouth Grandin, Mo. —Mrs. Susa Brooks, of this place, writes: “Some time ago I was in a bad fix, with stomach and liver trouble. I did not feel good at any 'time. I was very constipated, and had headaches from this condi tion, and had a continual hurting in my stomach, and bad taste in the mouth. Could tell my liver was all wrong. “I had known of Black-Draught, so decided to try it myself. I began with a large dose or doses, gradually getting to smaller doses. It regulat ed my bowels, relieved me of the hurting in my stomach, cleaned off , my liver and made me feel like a new person.” If you get up in the morning feel ing as tired as you did when you went to bed—achy, coated tongue, bad taste in mouth, sallow complex ion—then your liver has not done its'* full duty, and your system has ab sorbed the poisons which your liver should have taken away.

Acts On The Liver, Regulates Kidneys, Purifies the Blood The liver is the largest and most important orgaii in the body, and when the liver refuses to act, it causes constipation, biliousness, headaches, indigestion, gas, sour stomach, bad breath, dysentery,’ diarrhoea, pains in back and under shoulder blades and under ribs on right side. These symptoms lead to colds, influenza or other serious troubles unless corrected immedi ately. An inactive liver places an extra burden on the kidneys, which over taxes them and causes the blood, to absorb and carry Into the sys tem the Impurities that the liver and kidneys have failed to elimin ate. When you treat the liver alone, you treat only a third of your trouble, and that Is why you have to take purgatives every few nights. Calomel or other ordinary laxatives do not go far enough. If you would treat your kidneys and blood while treating the liver, you would put your entire system In order and frequent purgatives would then be unnecessary. Dr. W. L. Hitchcock many years ago recognized these important facts, and after much study and research, compounded what is now known as Dr. Hitchcock’s Liver, Kidney and Blood Powders, three medicines combined in' one. ’Thid -was the Doctor’s favorite prescrip “blbn for' many years, being used by his patients with marked success. It is a< harmless vegetable remedy ' that will not make you sick, and you may eat anything you like while taking it.

Many people think they are free from it, and I attribute their low state of health to various other reasons. The chronic effects are Anaemia, yellov? skin, enlargement of the spleen and liver, together with a general low state of health. Stop trying to cure the effects. Get rid of the cause by taking Oxidine, a preparation that drives malaria out of your blood.
