VILLa
ON SURRENDER TO
HIS FORMER FOES
SAN PEDRO, Coahuila, Mex., Aug.
10.—Francisco Villa surrendered
Monday.
After years of banditry and defl
flance of both the Mexican and the
United States government, the fa
pious outlaw delivered himself into
the power of the federals in the
afternoon, and drowned his sorrows
in a bottle of cognac.
The formal surrender ceremonies
will take place later, with pomp and
circumstance, but Villa actually
placed his person in the hands of
his former enemies today.
He met General Eugenio Martinez,
federal commander, under an old
tree on a ranch five miles from San
Pedro. Villa marched as far as San
“P«4ro with his men. He left his
troops in the town sjid with only
a handful of retainers, rode on to
the rendezvous to deliver himself up
in accordance with the agreement
reached with the government re
cently.
Half a dozen military representa
tives of President de la Huerta, with
the General Martinez among them,
were waiting for Villa under the
tree. He galloped up In his cus
tomary dashing style, then swung
from his horse and waved his hand
gaily to the little group of officers.
There was a general handshaking,
and then a bottle of cognac was pro
duced. Villa’s differences with the,
central government were speedily
drowned in the fiery liquor.
To Demobilize Army
General Martinez later in the week
will have charge of the demobiliza
tion of the Villista troops. Each man
is to be given a small ranch. Villa
will be given a large ranch and a
personal bodyguard of fifty of his
men, who he will select ana who will
be on the government payroll.
Villa received one of the greatest
ovations of his career when he rode
back to San Pedro. A crowd esti
mated at 3.000 people welcomed the
former bandit with a chorus of lusty
“Vivas.’ „
Forcing his way through the
throng, bowing right and left, Villa
was nearly overcome by his emotions.
He finally was moved to make a
very eloquent speech, which was
wildly cheered. The mam theme or
Villa’s speech was that the People
ought to forget Politics and back
to work. He said that he had set
them a good example.
Villa was attired in riding breeches,
leather leggins reaching above the
knee, a cotton Jacket and a huge
straw sombrero. Shortly after his
arrival he discarded the straw for a
handsome felt hat of American make
which was presentedl to him by. his
admirers. Despite the fact tfiat he
is now forty-eight years old and that
he and his men had ridden, on the
last leg of their journey for twenty
four hours across the desert, with
out water, Villa appeared to be in
the best of condition. He J ook ed
rugged, healthy and stalwart, and
annarentlv has thrived during the
Fast two months while eluding gov
ernment soldiers.
“I will settle down on a ranch at
Canutillo, Durango, where I’ll raise
cattld and crops,” Villa said to re
porters. “I admit that s a consid
erable change from my life of the
last fen years, but I believe 111 do
more for my country if I keep out
of politics altogether. I have not
desired to hold public office of any
kind. I hope to be able to help bet
ter conditions In Mexico, including
education. Personally I could not
write my name until I was a grown
man. I still have a very poor edu
cation, but my words are sincere and
when I say I want peace I mean it.
Villa refused to discuss politics In
detail or to express any opinion
about the present federal government,
except to say that he intended to
abide by its laws.
Receives Ovation
Describing his trip from Chihua
hua to where he surrendered he said
he traveled 600 miles in twelve days
and that for forty-eight hours he
was on the desert without water. He
said he knew the government was
looking for him, so he decided to tell
where he was but sought safe terri
tory first. So he said he had to
capture a town and thei| reveal his
presence.
Villa was the center of a joyous
celebration in San Pedro today. He
and his men were lionized. Bands
paraded the plaza, playing the old
Villista revolutionary song, “La Cu
caracha,” which being interpreted
means “The Cockroach,” and in
which Villa is represented as boast
ing that he will “get the whiskers
of Carranza and make himself a gar
ment of them.”
One of the most dramatic episodes
of the day was the meeting between
Villa and General Escobar, one of the
Carranza leaders responsible for the
execution of Felipe Angeles, Villa’s
old aid and close friend. Villa had
sworn to kill those responsible for
Angeles’ death. Today he met Es
cobar face to face while he was
standing with a group of officers
talking about Mexican military men.
“Angeles,” said Villa, “was Mexi
co’s greatest general. Also he was
my best friend. It was a crime to
kill him.”
As he spoke he fixed his eyes on
Escobar and glared. Escobar kept
his hand on his gun. The atmos
phere was tense for a moment. No
body spoke. Then General Martinez
tactfully changed the subject and
the crisis passed.
Villa moved freely around town,
cheered at every turn, but it was no
ticed that he always had a body
guard of five heavily armed men at
his heels.
His troopers looked fierce and wild.
They were typical of the reckless
band that made Villa’s name a ter
ror throughout the north, and which
eluded even Pershing’s expedition.
Park Bench Home for
Mother and Child 5 Days
A green bench in the litte park at
Amsterdam avenue and 136th street
was “home” to Nellie Kelly and her
infant for five days and nights. They
slept on the bench because they had
no other placd to go. Yesterday the
young mother, when arraigned in
Washington eHights court, explain
ed why.
Clad in rags and clinging to the
soft bundle that she carried in her
arms, Nellie presented a pathetic
sight as she walked somewhat
shakily into the courtroom. Her gar
ments were frayed and stingy, but
her baby was warmly clad. It was
wrapped in a rubber blanket. This
blanket had served to protect it
from the dew during its enforced
residence on the park bench.
Nellie told a straightforward story
to Magistrate Raphael Tobias. She
said that because she was unmarried
she had no home, no money, no
friends and that her relatives had re
fused to assist her. As she testi
fied she tightened her fingers
around the little bundle and drew
it closer to her, fearing that an at
tempt would be made to take the
baby.
Nellie’s stay on the park bench
would liekly have been considerably
longer had not her presence attracted
the attentions of William Moore, of
the Children’s society. He made a
charge of vagrancy against her.
Magistrate Tobias held the young
woman for a hearing today, pending
an investigation. Nellie gave her
age as twenty-four. The baby is five
weeks old.
Bruce Barton Says Bible
Is Best Book on Business
CLEVELAND.—The Bible is the
best one volume book on modern
business, Bruce Barton, author and
journalist of New York said at the
convention of the Federal Council
of Churches of Christ in America.
“The Bible has the greatest rec
ord of salesmanship ever written,”
he said. “St. Paul sold religion to
Athens when it was fearfully over
stocked with religion of its own.
And he did it by making a survey of
the situation and utilizing condi
tions at hand, just as a modern
salesman must do.
“The great trouble with ministers
is that they do not know what news
, is,” Mr. Barton continued. “They
must learn to trust newspaper men
The things that Christ did were
great news. They would be great
news today. Peter’s release from jail
by reason of the earthquake would
deserve a headline today.”

FRANCE READY TO
COMBAT GERMAN
AID TO SOVIET
• _
PARIS, Aug. 9.—France, acting
alone, if necessary, is on the verge
of sending a stern note to the Ger
man government, informing It that
France will act instantly and force
fully to enforce the treaty of Ver
sailles in its provisions for eastern
Europe as well as for the west and
that France can properly take coer
cive action along the Rhine, accord
ing to reports in the highest French
official circles.
The French government is declar
ed to be convinced that Germany is
plotting with the soviets to nullify
the Polish boundaries created by the
allies last year and hampering all
allied efforts to aid the new republic
during a critical period. The feeling
is also ascribed to the French in
official quarters that efforts by cer
tain factions in Germany to provoke
an open quarrel between the two
countries is approaching a crisis.
Within the last several days all
supplies en route for French troops
In the plebiscite area of upper Sile
sia have been held up by German
railway men and other AU
of the Sarre basin is tied up by a
strike and shipments for Poland - by
way of Germany have been side
tracked or wrecked.
The communist party of Germany
Is reported to have ordered its mem
bers in east Prussia to extend a
welcome to the bolshevik. Great
trouble has been stirred up at Dan
zig and the recent flag incident at
the French embassy in Berlin re
mains unsettled.
It is declared in official circles
that the French government cannot
endure this state of affairs much
longer and that France must show
“that the treaty of Versailles Is
more than a scrap of paper.”
Louisiana Farmers
Use Coad Method in
Fighting 801 l Weevil
All reports indicate that the Louis
iana cotton crop will be the best in
several years, if the boll weevil does
not pick it before the farmer, ac
cording to officials of the American
Cotton association. The government
demonstration of the success of the
Coal method of combating this pest
by calcium arsenate poisoning has
resulted in many farmers buying ma
chines and a stock of poison, and con
testing with the weevil.
In Pointe Coupee parish the Amer
ican Cotton association has demon
strated its practical utility to the
farmer in assisting him in installing
this method, and bringing about a
reduction in cost of twenty per cent,
besides procuring a guarantee from
the manufacturer of the services of
an expert throughout the cotton sea
son, to show the farmers how to sup
ply the poison. Hon. Sim. Parent,
chairman of the American Cotton as
sociation parish committee, and A. B.
Curet, parish demonstration agenL
who is secretary of the parish com
mittee, made the deal with the manu
facturers, on behalf of the members
of the association, and eleven power
machines, more than a hundred hand
guns, and twenty tons of poison were
bought.
Reports from Ponte Coupee parish
are that the crop is one of the finest
in years, but the boll weevil has been
very much in evidence. The fields
which are being poisoned, are giv
ing promise of yielding their maxi
mum capacity.

Atlanta Post of Legion
Offers to Buy Liberty Bonds
Os T. E. Il 7 at son at Par
An offer to buy Thomas E. Wat
son’s Liberty bonds at par value and
to present them to him or anyone
else who can prove his charges
against the American Legion; a re
view of the senate record of Thomas
W. Hardwick, showing how he voted
against bills designed to help win
the war; a summary of* Grover C.
Edmondson’s career, from his alleged
indictment on the charge of carrying
concealed weapohs to his latest
stump speeches against the American
Legion; and an attack on William
Randolph Hearst as the avowed sup
porter of Watson and Hardwick —
these were the four outstanding fea
tures of a meeting of Atlanta post,
No. 1, of the American Legion, at
Taft hall Monday night.
Taft hall was packed to the doors.
Every seat was filled, and about a
hundred were standing. Besides
members of the Legion, there were
several ladies present and many men,
old and young, not members of the
Legion. That the entire audience
was heart and soul with the Legion
in its fight was proven, first, by
the storms of cheers that greeted
every speaker, second, by a standing
vote on a resolution in which not a
person arose when the “nos” were
called for.
Trammell Scott, presiding, opened
the meeting by reading the principles
and objects of the American Legion.
The first speaker was Harry Alex
ander, lawyer and Legionaire, who
discussed Hardwick’s record in re
ply to the challenge of J. K. Jor
dan, Hardwick’s law partner and a
Legionaire.
Alexander Gives Becord
Mr. Alexander, stating that his in
formation came from the Congres
sional Record, declared Hardwick
voted against every measure that
was introduced in the senate to win
the war: (1) in 1915 against the ship
purchase bill through which Ameri
can troops were to get transports;(2)
in June, 1916, against the bill for a
nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals by
which gunpowder and explosives
would be supplied American arms,
Hardwick basing his objections on
the ground that the bill would allow
the government to sell surplus ni
trates to the farmers of the south;
(3) against the selective service law,
without which, said Mr. Alexander,
the American army would not have
been raised until last April at the
rate of volunteer enlistments then
coming in; (4) against the food con
trol bill; (5) against the fuel con
trol bill; (6) against the railroad
control bill to keep the transporta
tion system of the country from
breaking down and to speed up troop
shipments; (7) against the war
finance corporation bill; (8) against
the bill enlarging powers of the fed
eral reserve banks so as to prevent
a financial breakdown in the midst
of the war; (8) against the esplon
afe act, which, said Mr. Alex
ander, was to “keep down the scoun
drels who would have burned every
munitions factory in the country and
notified a German submarine of the
departure of every transport, and
the other scoundrels who would have
excited insurrection against the
draft law; Mr. Hardwick’s objections
was that, under the bill, a man might
give false information against his
neighbor and it would have caused
trouble in the neighborhood!”
Deafening applause greeted the end
of Mr. Alexander’s speech. Tram
mell Scott then introduced William
A. Sirmon. As he came to the front
of the platform, there were cries of
“Eat ’em up, ‘Swellhead!’” referring
to Thomas E. Watson’s choice of a
nickname for the boy who still bears
the marks of German machine-gun
bullets.
Watson Blamed for Desertions ..
Mr. Sirmon announced he could
speak only a few minutes, as he must
catch a train to Moultrie, where
Hardwick is to speak Tuesday. He
scored Watson, declaring among
other things, that records at
Camp Gordon cited a hundred cases
of desertion during the war where
the deserter’s only plea was, “Tom
Watson said I didn’t have to go,
and I thought Tom Watson knew 5 .”
“Nobody knows how many thou
sands of dollars Watson got on the
promise to defend deserters,” said
Mr. Sirmon.
“And yet, the other day at Warm
Springs, he denied in his speech that
he ever received a cent,” continued
the speaker. “One old fellow in
the audience was a little hard of hear
ing. He thought Watson was apolo
gizing for, having taken the money,
so he jumped to his feet and yelled,
‘That’s all right, Tom, ye can keep
the S2O I give ye!’ Some give away
—what?”
The next speaker Trammell Scott
introduced as “a man I will cite for
conspicuous gallantry in the face of
the enemy—the common enemy—last
Wednesday at Barnesville, Ga., U. S.
A.—Curtis Barrett!”
Thunderous applause greeted the
young man who rose in his place on
the platform. The applause stopped
as he neared the edge of the plat
form. He grinned. They rose again
to a tumult, and continued for two
minutes before he could begin to
speak.
Barrett Speaks
Mr. Barrett called no names in his
speech, which was a plea for Amer
icanism and a defense of the Legion
as a 100 per cent organization of ex
service men, privates and officers
alike. He made it plain that, in in
dorsing the Legion’s fight, he in
dorsed, too, the proposition that the
Legion supported no candidate, but
simply opposed tow candidates. The
man who doesn’t stand by the state
of Georgia today, he asserted, is as
great a slacker as the man who de
serted in the war.
Mr. Barrett was followed by Basil
Stockbridge, who read the resolution,
offering to buy Watson’s Liberty
bonds at par value plus accrued in
terest, and then to donate them either
to Watson’s or Hardwick’s campaign
any of his charges against
the American Legion were proved be
fore three justices of the state su
preme court.
Speaking to the resolution, Mr.
Stockbridge said he was reliably in
formed by a citizen of the Tenth dis
trict, a neighbor of Watson’s, that
Watson did not pay par value for the
bonds, but that “we have no desire
to quibble with him over the price.
Our country’s security is worth to
us 100 cents on the dollar. We de
sire to destroy-the last vestige of
argument he has that he contributed
a single shred toward winning the
war.”
Who Kaiser Counted On
“During the war there were cer
tain creatures in America upon whom
Kaiser Wilhelm counted,” continued
Mr. Stockbridge. “He counted on
them then, and he will count on them
again if he is ever restored to power.
And, by the looks of things now,
that’s the way events are trending.
One of those upon whom Kaiser Wil
helm counted was a smooth, slimy in
dividual by the name of William
Randolph Hearst. He carried on his
insidious propaganda for Germany
until we went into the war, and then
he made his individual peace with the
United States government, thereby
saving his hide. When the American
Legion was in its incipiency, Mr.
Hearst was kind enough to have his
editorial writers in Atlanta give the
Legion some very flattering notices.
We were deceived; I, myself, was de
ceived; But in the last forty-eight
hours, they have felt our darts so
keenly, that we have finally smoked
’em out! Three consecutive days
they have devoted their chief editor
ial against the American Legion in
favor of Tom Hardwick and Tom
Watson!”
When the vote on the resolution
was called, the audience rose, appar
enty as one man. The opposition was
called upon to stand. None stood, and
those standing at the rear of the
ha took to their knees.
The meeting was concluded with a
plea by Fonville McWhorter, treas
urer of the Legion campaign, for
funds to prosecute the campaign.
“We’re getting calls for speakers
from all over Georgia,” he stated,
“and we need the money. The fact
is, boys, the ‘beef trust’ and Wall
street have failed to ante. So come
across!”

HOUSE ADOPTS .
BILL CREATING
LAMAR COUNTY
By a vote of 134 to 48 the house
of representatives Tuesday passed
the senate bill creating the new
county of Lamar from portions of
Monroe and Pike counties, with the
city of Barnesville as the county
site.
The debate and vote in the- house
were witnessed by a large audience
of interested citizens from both of
the old counties who were both for
and against the bill. Representative
Holmes, of Monroe, and Representa
tive Barrett ,of Pike, spoke against
the bill on the ground that these
two old and splendid middle Geor
gia counties would be serlo'usly
crippled against their wishes by the
creation of Lamar county for no
other reason than to satisfy the am
bition of the city of Barnesville to
be a county site.
The debate on the Lamar county
bill occupied practically all of the
Tuesday morning session of the
house, beginning shortly after 9
o’clock and running until noon, when
the vote was taken and the result
announced. The supporters of Lamar
county in the gallery greeted the
announcement with loud applause,
and it was necessary for Speaker
Holder to put forth a most stren
uous effort to restore order in the
hall.
The Lamar county bill having been
passed by the senate and the house
will now go to the people for ratifi
cation or rejection- in the general
election to be held in the fall in the
same manner as all constitutional
amendments are referred.
Dong County Taken Up
After disposing of Lamar county,
the house took up the senate bill to
create the new county of Long, from
a portion o fthe county of Liberty,
with the town of Willacoochee as the
county site. The bill was passed by
a vote of 154 to 6. The bill before
being passed was amended so as to
leave off a portion of Liberty county
which was originally proposed to be
included in the new county, and the
opponents of the bill, withdrew their
opposition on a compromise basis.
At this point in the deliberations
in the house, the joint investigating
committee of the house and senate
presented its report against Dr. Pe
ter F. Bahnsen, the state veterina
rian, and Representative Williams, of
Worth, introduced a resolution di
recting the commissioner of agricul
ture- to discharge Dr. Bahnseri from
his office, and name a successor to
take his place. The resolution was
referred to th,e rules committee, and
the house adjourned until 3 o’clock.
Man Falls Five Floors
From Burning Building
While Crowd Watches
NEW YORK.—A crowd of several
thousand which gathered when
sVnoke poured from the upper floors
of an eight-story loft building at the
northeast corner of Lafayette and
Walker streets shortly after nook
recently saw a man hang for nearly
five minutes from the ledge of a'
fifth-floor window and then drop
through a steel-framed glass canopy
over the building*s entrance, missing
by a few feet a net which firemen
had hastily got into place. He suf
fered a fractured skull and internal
injuries.
As the flames burned through the
fifth and sixth floors, licking up a
store of celluloid in the loft occu
pied by the Universal Merchandise
company on the fifth floor, the noon
hour throng of factory and office
workers looked for a repetition of
the terrors of the Triangle fire They
saw the man fall to the street and
looked for others to follow, but po
lice and firemen soon learned that all
ot the 100 or more workers on the
upper floors had escaped, leaviag
Benjamin Finkel, twenty-one years
trapped in* the floor.’
“Little Mary,” Peddler,
Leaves Valuable Estate
RK ’. N - J., Aug 9.—Mrs. Do-
IJpnca- Zazzali, sixty-nine, known as
Little Mary,’ who died after operat
ing a fruit and peanut stand for
J?^ S n eV u years ’ left an estate of
$185,000, it was learned here today.
Little Mary” ran the stand her
.Ul\tll. about a year ago, when
the building in front of which she
stood was torn down. The new
builders refused to give her a new
lease.
Mrs. Zazzali owned forty tenement
houses, the rent for which she haff
not raised in forty years.
She was a benefactor to the chil
dren around. She used to hand out
nickels and dimes to the kiddies with
which they would buy goods from
her.

Father Kidnaps Children;
Drives Off in Auto
Waylaying his three little girls on
their way home from school in Staten
Island, Sheridan Simmons, of Jersey
City, kidnaped two and carried them
away in an automobile, but the third
escaped. The police sent out a gen
eral alarm for the children.
Simmons has been separated from
his wife thr’ee years. The children
and their mother have been living
with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lozier, Mrs.
Simmons’ parents, at 1441 Rich
mond avenue, Bull’s Head, Staten
Island.
_ Some time ago the father kidnaped
his daughter Virginia, seven, as she
was going home from Public School
No. 22, Graniteville, but was cap
tured by the poli'ce at Mariners Har
bor and the child was returned to her
mother.
Simmons was freed on probation,
promising to let his children alone.
Recently, Virginia was accompa
nied from school by her sisters—
Olive, nine, and Zola, eleven. Their
father drove up beside them in a car
with a chauffeur. He called to the
children and asked them to get in.
Olive did so, but Virginia and Zola
refused. The father jumped out and
lifted Virginia into the machine, but
Zola ran home.
Clairvoyant’s Family Is Sued
ST. LOUIS, Mo.—Suit to recover
$14,059, which he says he paid in
the last six years to a ’ clairvoyant
who promised to locate $70,000 in
gold in a pot on one of his farms,
was filed in the circuit court by
Weert Bauer, seventy-eight years
old, wealthy retired farmer, who
lives in Alton, 111.
The defendants are Mrs. A. Pelin
ski, who, Bauer says, posed as a clair
voyant; her husband, Joseph Pelin
ski, Joseph Pelinski, Jr., Mrs. Mary
Cleary, a daughter of the Pelinskis,
and William W. Cleary.
Bauer alleges the defendants en
tered into a conspiracy to defraud
him, and told him Mrs. Pelinski
was a clairvoyant, and possessed of
supernatural power, and would tell
him where he could locate a large
amount of gold coin. He states Mrs.
Pelinski never had any supernatural
power and never told him where to
find the gold.

HARDWICK SAYS
GREENSBORO, Ga., Aug. 10.—
Thomas W. Hardwick spoke in the
interest of his candidacy for gover
nor here Monday at the noon recess
of the city court, and it is estimat
ed that his audience numbered 350,
who comfortably filled the courtroom.
In comparison with press reports
of his speeches in other parts of
the state, his address here was ex
ceptionally temperate, as he made no
comparison of Clark Howell with the
negro, Henry Lincoln Johnsr-' He
said that Woodrow Wilson and Wil
liam H. Taft could not take away
from the people with their pens the
rights won by George Washington
with the sword.
He denied that he had attacked the
American Legion and charged that
the legion was being used as a cats
paw by the Atlanta post, which he
said was being conducted by Clark
Howell, Jr., and Trammell Scott,
who he said was a clerk in the office

WUODEN SHIPPING
TONNAGE HARD TO
SELL, U. S. FINDS
.WASHINGTON, D. C—Disposal
of more than 1,500,000 tons of wood
en shipping—4o6 vessels of various
types—built as a part of the govern
ment’s war-time merchant marine
program is—one of the most difficult
problems facing the shipping board.
Twenty-one of the craft, aggregating
82,000 deadweight tons, were offered
recently, but no buyers were found.
Only 194 of these wooden craft are
now in operation. Seventy-three are
tied up at various ports under man
aging caretakers and 139 are in stor
age yards. One hundred and sev°T>
of those in “storage” are
hulls while thirty-two are converted
barges.
Officials of the board say that when
the serviceability of the wooden fleet
has been demonstrated little difficulty
Will be experienced in turning it over
to private ownership at about S9O a
ton. These vessels were built in an
emergency, many of green timber,
and some of them made poor show
ings a year and two years ago, but
now that they have “seasoned,” offi
cers of the board consider them prac
ticable cargo carriers.
Because of the bad record of some
of the vessels operators have con
demned them all, officials declare,
whereas, the records of those now
in operation show very creditable
performances. One wooden ship out
of six orund trips across the Atlantic,
at sea 500 days and in port an equal
number, was laid up for repairs only
twenty-two days.
To date wooden and composite
ships, aggregating 1,948, 250 dead
weight tons, consisting of 322 cargo
ships, one tanker, 115 finished hulls,
ten sailing craft, fifty-six hulls con
verted into barges and twenty stand
ard barges, have been delivered to the
board. A total of 114 of these ves
sels, aggregating 397,285 deadweight
tons, has been sold and twelve total
ing 44,546 tons have been lost at sea.
The total cost of the construction
of this fleet, estimated by the board
at $l7O a deadweight ton, was ap
proximately $333,000,000. Sale of the
1,500,000 tons now held by the board
at S9O a ton would yield 0135,000,000.
Those already sold brought about
$28,000,000, so that if the 406 remain
ing in the government's posession
are disposed of to private ownets the
total loss through the wooden ship
venture would be something like
$170,0 00,000.
Whisky Men Lose
SBI,OOO to Swindler
CHICAGO. —Eighty-one thousand
dollars was paid by a group of six
Chicago whisky sales promoters for
a few worthless slips of paper. To
day three of the six rushed into po
lice headquarters and cried for ven
geance.
They had been swindled while ar
ranging for distribution among sa
loon owners of SSO cases of whisky
that had existed solely in the imag
ination of the operator of the confi
dence game and in bogus warehouse
receipts, bills of sale and federal per
mits for removal. The six men paid
their SBI,OOO upon the sole security
of the valueless but official looking
sheets.
The' three victims reporting the
loss were Harry Nadel, years ago an
investigator for the police depart
ment and now head of a secret serv
ice bureau patronized by many of
the loop hotels; Al Powers, who says
he is a nephew of Aiderman John
Powers, and Rbert Fabbrini, sa
loon owner. The three told Captain
Morgan Collins that they are en
gaged In the “promotin’’ of whisky
sales. They said they have permits
as wholesale liqur dealers.
Nadel, Powers and Fabbrini drag
ged with them into the police sta
tion Samuel Listicki, an egg candler,
whose weekly wage never has been
above $35. Listicki, although locked
in a cell, tells a story that convinces
the police he was an innocent and un
knowing dupe in the hands of the
real swindler, who has vanished with
the SBI.OOO.

Mr. Dodson, the “Liver
Tone”. Man, Tells the
Treachery of Calomel
Calomel loses you a day! Yitl
know what calorie* is. It's mercury:
quicksilver, calomel is dangerous. It
cracTies into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never
be put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish, -
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for a few cents a large
bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone, whicn
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. It is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can pot salivate.
Don’t take calomel! It can not be
trusted any more than a leopard or a
wild-cat. Take Dodson’s Liver Tone
which straightens you right up and
makes you feel fine. Give it to the
children because it is perfectly harm
less and doesn’t gripe.— (Advt.)
Speedy Relief
From Habitual
Constipation
The liver is the largest and most
Important organ 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 imme
diately.
An Inactive liver places an extra
burden on the kidneys, which over
taxes them and causes the blood to
absorb and carry into the system
the impurities that the liver and
kidneys have failed to eliminate.
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 freqent 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 Dt. Hitchcock’s Liver,
Kidney and Blood Powders, three
medicines combined in one. This
was the Doctor’s favorite prescrip
tion 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.
Get a large tin box from your
druggist or dealer for 25c, under his
personal guarantee that it will give
relief, tone up the livCr, stimulate
the kidneys to healthy action and
thereby purify the blood. If your
dealer will not supply you, it will be
mailed direct by the Hitchcock Med
icine Co., Atlanta, Ga., upon receipt
of price.— (Advt.)
