-ATLANTA. GA
Held by Judge as Leader of Gang,
Other Terre Haute Of
ficials Sentenced.
INDIANAPOLIS, April 12,—jDonn
M. Roberta, Mayor of Terre Haute,
to-day was sentenced to six years’
imprisonment and fined $2,000 by
Judge Anderson in Federal Court,
following hia conviction as chief con
spirator in the Terre Haute election
frauds. The announcement of sen
tences was begun immediately after
Judge Anderson overruled motions for
a new trial and arrest of judgment.
In announcing his sentences Judge
Anderson declared that the evidence
had shown that Mayor Roberts was
the most guilty of all the defendants;
that Judge Redman and Sheriff Shea
ranked second, and Montgomery,
Smith. Driscoll and Erhenhardt were
third in point of guilt. Sentences were
apportioned accordingly.
His remarks to the son of Judge
Redman were:
“It Is hard to understand the offi
cial conduct of this young man,’’ he
said. “He is only 22. but he was
reared badly. I simply haven’t words
to express my feelings in referring to
that man (Eli Redman). His conduct
has been unspeakable He was a man
high in office, but he turns his back
on undisputed facts and still hangs
onto his job. If Hilton Redman had
not been so active in this case I would
inclined to be more lenient.”
Guilty Plea Wins for Chief.
In giving former Chief of Police
Holler one year and a day and a fine
of $1, Judge Anderson pointed out
that he was the first to plead guilty
and testify for the Government.

"Dodson's Liver Tone” Better
Than Calomel and Can Not
Salivate.
Calomel loses you a day! You
know what calomel Is. It's mercury;
Quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous.
It crashes into sour bile like dyna
mite, 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 rememOer that your
druggist sells for 50 cents a large
bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone, which
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 not salivate.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a
day’s work. Dodson’s Liver Tone
straightens you right up and you
e e el great. Give it to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and
doesn’t gripe.—Advertisement.

Beau Parlor Proves
Success; 12 AreMated

assist working girls in their “love mak
ing.” the beau parlor established a few

5,950,000 Men Total
War Loss in 8 Months
ROME, April 12.—The nations at war
have lost 5,950.000 men in the first eight
months of the conflict, and have spent
$8,400,000,000 in the first six months, ac
cording to figures prepared for The
Avanti.
To Pay Vets in
Confederate
Currency
A unique plan of rewarding in a
sentimental way the men who fought
for the cause of the Confederacy haa
been launched by J. M. Williams, of
Memphis, who recently was appointed
paymaster general, with the rank of
brigadier general, of the United Con
federate Veterans.
The plan is to collect $2,000,000 in
the currency of the Confederate States
of America and distribute It among
the veterans at the reunion at Rich
mond, Va.. which likely will be the
last official gathering of the veter
ans.
General Williams, in letters sent out
to the camps of veterans over the
South, says that while the Confeder
ate money, of course, is of no value,
he thinks that the sentiment carried
with the Idea will at least delight the
hearts of the men who fought so long
and so valorously with scarcely a cent
of compensation, and prove a worthy
reminder of the appreciation of their
services to the Southland.
General Williams’ letter is as fol
lows;
‘‘Possibly you have noticed General
Bennett H Young has appointed me
paymaster general, with the rank of
brigadier general, and I am making
an effort (and have met with some
success) to raise a good bunch of old
Confederate money with which to pay
off the old soldiers at the Richmond
reunion. This is one of my hobbies,
and it meets with popular favor, and
I know it will be highly appreciated
by the old veterans at the Richmond
reunion.
"I will ask you to notify your va
rious camps as promptly as possible
to get up as much of this old sacred
money as possible and send It to me
at once. No. 400-401 Bank of Com
merce Building, Memphis, Term.
“I will place every donor on the
honor roll, and these names will be
announced at the reunion. Will you
do this?
'T will want at least $2,00,0000.
Yours very truly,
"J. M. WILLIAMS.
Paymaster General, U. C. V."
