The stale closet! its presentation of testimony at tlte morning session after Dr. F. C. Shute, the Dunbar’s family physician, has described scars nnd marks on Robert Dunbar's body left by hums and hurts. The child was brought to the courtroom and each juror allowed to inspect the marks which had formed some of thp principal lolnts of identification of the child hy Mr. and Mrs. Dunbar as their son. Sheriff l.ott, of Columbia, Miss., where Walters was arrested, was the first witness for the defense. He testified that he was present when Mr Dunba r sow for the first time the bov taken from Walters at Colum bia. He ttated the child apparently did not recognize Mr. Dunbar.

OPPOSITION 10 THE COLOMBIA TREATY COMING Perkins, of California, Says Senate Should Not Agree to Pay That Country $25,000,- 000 and Allow Her Ships to Go Through Canal Free. ..Washington, D. C.—There wire indi cations today that the treaty between Colombia and tho United States, for ad justment of tho issues growing out of the sop tration of Panama from Colom bia. would encounter opposition in the United States senate. Publication to day of what purported to the text of the treaty created much criticism of the convention. Secretary Bryan would not discs* the published text and will with hold the official text until the original copies arrive from Bogota, about May Ist. It then will be sent to tlie senate for ratification. Senator Perkins of California, today voiced vigorous criticism, expressing the belief‘that the senate never would ratify It. “I do not believe," said Mr. Perking, “that the senate ever will agree fc\ ratify this treaty, which makes t lie United States apologize to'Colombin and provides for the payment of $25,000,000 and for free passage of Colombian war vessels through the Panama Canal. Co lombia should apologize to the United States, and to pay Colomtra $25,000,000 Is just $25,000,000 too much." Senator Simmons of North Carolina, defended the treaty nnd maintained be fore the senate canal's committee that Its main provisions were substantially the Fame as those contained in the treaty negotiated with Colombia by Senator Root when secretary of state. Mr.. Simmons sought to mtroduce the record of tlie Panama tolls exemption hearing containing correspondence be tween Great Britain nnd the United States regarding the right of the United States to grant tolls eexiflption to Co lombian warships proposed tn a treaty pending in 1909, which dealt with Co lombia's rights In the canal. When Senator Bristow insisted that introduc tion of parts of the correspondence wa* not wise, Senator Simmons withdrew' It. but after a conference with Secretary Bryan made it public. The correspondence disclosed that Great Britain was about to protest against exemption of Colombian war ships a* in contravention of the Hay- Pauncefote treaty granting equality to ships of all nations After a consid erable change of notes Great Britain announced she would forego making a protest. Secretary of State Root in a letter contained in the correspondence based the right of the United States to grant such exemption upon the entirely special and exceptional position of Co lombia towards the canal and title thereto. 1110,000 FIRE 10 TAMPA UST OIGOT Swept Two Blocks.

I don’t want you to think of getting one of these VITABIZERS just now-, but I would like you to Investigate my •claims as to what I believe can be accomplished by almost any weak ened man who uses this VITALIZER faithfully for a few weeks. I speak, of course, of him who Is willing to give up dissipation and lead a de cent, conservative life, not only while using the VITALIZER, but for the future. The other kind of man, the dissipated, can hope for nothing from any treatment, no matter what it may be, lienee such a man is elim inated from my consideration. This littlo VITALIZER is made to wear upon the body all night. It weighs only several ounces and Is no more unhandy than an ordinary belt, yet It generates a great FORCE that i call VIGOR, which apparently flows into your blood, organs and nerves while you sleep. Men say It takes any pain or weakness out of the hack and that 60 to 90 days use has been sufficient to restore manly strength and to put men in the “never felt better in my life" class. Special attachments carry the FORCE of the VITALIZER to any part of the body, for the use of women as well as men In cases of rheumatism, kidney, liver, stomach, bladder disorders, etc. Over two hundred thousand of these VITALIZERB have been used or are now being used by men all over the world.
