Presldent 8mall Suspended by Teleg- raphers’ Executive Committee. New York, Oct. 1.—President 8. J. Small of the Commercial Telegra- phers’ union left his hotel in this city durlng the day and his further action in the matter of calling off the strike is In doubt. Small was suspended from the oflice ot president by three members of the executive committee in Chicago, but so far Small has not indicated whether he accepts the sus- pension as effective. Belvidere Brooks, general superin- tendent of the Eastern division of the Western Union, said that the Western Union is not interested in the action of the strikers. “Our com v,/ he said, “Is con- ducting its business more efticiently than it ever did. The strike of the operators who worked for us is past history. Of course we are willing to take back to work a cestain number of the operators who quit us, but never will the places of loyal employes be filled by the strikers. Agitators will mnever again work for the company.” About 150 of the strikers, fitty of then women, gathered in City Hall park and marched down to the West- ern Unlon building, wearing ribbons Inscribed “We stic After making a demonstration, as a result of which two of the men were arrested on charges of disorderly conduct, they dispersed. Assistant Secretary Retires. Washington, Oct. 1 .—Thomas Ryan, for nearly eleven years first assistant secretary of the interior, will retire from that office the latter part of this month. He will be succeeded by Frank Plerce of Salt Lake City, Utah. The reason given for his resignation is that his health has become im- paired by the work of his office. WILL SHOW UP SOGIETY Aurel Batonyi to Spare None in Fighting Divorce Case. New York, Oct. 1 .—Frank Work, the millionalre father of Mrs. Aurel Batonyi, who was Mrs. Burke-Roche, says that his daughter will never be allowed to return home. He declares that he has never forgiven her since her marriage and he denounces Ba- tonyl in unmeasured terms. After her divorce from Mr. Burke- Roche Mr. Work took his daughter back home and settled a yearly in- come of $60,000 upon her. His state- ment now that she cannot return home again means that Mrs. Batonyi's marriage to the professional whip has lost to her for all time one of the greatest fortunes to which any Amer- ican woman was ever heir. She has always been fond of lavish display and before her first marriage was ac- customed to spend $60,000 a year for dress. Her horses used to cost her more than $30,000 a year and often she has spent $15,000 upon a single entertainment, a sum greater than she s now belleved by her friends to pos- sess, Her seemingly helpless condition, In view of her father’s latest statement, adds to the mystery of her suit for | divorce against Batonyl. Her hus- band's first impression, according to his statement, was that her father's money had induced her to begin the suit. Now, however, he brings for- ward many circumstances which may cause as much surprise among his acqualntances as the statement of Mr. Work. In his anger toward the pergons Who, he believes, have dis- turbed his domestic happiness Ba- tonyl now says that he will spare none. His lawyer says Mr. Batonyi is deeply in earnest. ' “We will demand a jury trial of the dlvorce case and the revelations will be as amazing to the fashionable ‘world as were the details of the Thaw trial,” continued the counsel. = ON INJUNCTION Q—UESTION Federation of Labor to Put All Candi- dates on Record. New York, Oct. 1 .—The Central Federated unlon has received an ap- peal from President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, which has been sent to all the affiliated un- lons, asking them to request all polit- fcal candidates in the present cam- paign to commit themselves openly as to government by injunction. Gom- pers said that the misuse of the power of injunction occurs constantly and is dangerous to the liberty of the people. It was the duty of the labor unions to Investigate all candidates for judicial and legislative offices so that they can be put on record as to how they stand on the question of government by In- Junction. Some Strikers Are Relnstated. Cleveland, Oct. 1 .—Notwithstand- ing the formal resolution adopted at a meeting of the local branch of the Telegraphers’ union to continue the strike indefinitely a number of men applied for their old positions and in several instances were reinstated. Su- perintendent Collins of the Postal company sald he had rejected the ap- plications of some first class oper- ators simply because their services were not needed. No Change in His Condition. Vienna, Oct. 1 .—Emperor Francis Joseph is resting easier. His spirits appear to have improved, though the Inflammation continues and his symp- toms generally are not changed.

New York, Oct. 1 .—Alfred H. Rralnard, comptroller of the Standard Ofl company of New Jersey and many | of its subsidiary companies, was ques- tioned when called as a witness in the government'’s suit against the oil com- bine concerning large loans made to James McDonald by the Anglo-Amer- fcan Ofl company. Testimony was given last week that the Southern Plpe Line company had loaned over $20,000,000 to Mr. McDonald and that the books of the company showed that it had never been paid back. Mr. Brainard said that he was the Amer- ican secretary of the Anglo-American company and that Mr. McDonald was the managing director in London. He was asked concerning loans made by the Anglo-American company of $2,- 175,006 in 1905 and $1,427,907 in 1906 to Mr. McDonald. Mr. Brainard sald that the loans had been ordered from London and that was all he knew about them. “Is it not a fact that this money was furnished to Mr. McDonald that he might hold either the Manhattan Ofl company of Ohio or the Security Oil company of Texas?” “I do not know,” replied Mr. Brain- ard. Mr. Brainard was asked concerning the loans made by the Southern Pipe Line company of over $20,000,000 to P. 8. Tratnor. Mr. Bralnard said that it was likely that Mr. Trainor reported his losses to the Standard Ofil company of New York and that the Southern Pipe Line company reimbursed the Standard for the losses and charged the amount to the account of P. 8. Tralnor. Mr. Brainard said he thought these losses were Incurred by Mr. Tralnor in the purchase and sale of oll. Witness Pleads Ignorance. Mr. Bralnard said he knew nothing about the loans made by the Standard Oil company of New York, aggregat- Ing $82,061,620, in 1906 to “interests other than Standard Oil.” He said that account came to him from the treasurer’s office. William G. Rocke- feller might know something of the loans, the witness sald. Mr. Brainard sald he did not know whether the transfer books of the liquidating trus- tees which Mr. Kellogg has been de- sirous of obtaining could be found. Mr. Brainard was excused and Hampton G. Westcott, first vice pres- ident of the Standard Oil company of Kentucky, took the stand. Mr. West- cott sald the Standard Oil company of Kentucky was engaged in selling ofl in Southern states and that each month the main office of the company at Covington, Ky., sent him a state- ment of business done by the Stand- ard’s competitors. These statements gave the name of the consignor, con- signee, the amount of oil and car num- bers. Mr. Westcott said these state- ments were turned over to a statis- tical department in the Standard’s office in this city. Mr. Westcott described in detall the business operations of the Standard in the Southern states and was ques- tioned by Mr. Kellogg about various independent selling companies which had been absorbed by the oil combine. Mr. Westcott sald that several of these companies, including the Sun- light Gas and Oil company, were ab- sorbed by the Standard and their plants dismantled. BIG TRESTLE COLLAPSES.

'The ~pétltion asked that the union be enjoined from instituting strikes or alding or assist. ing any strikes against the Typothetae or its members in case the latter or any of its members refuses to Insti tute the elght-hour day before Jan, 1, 1907, or the closed shop at any time; that 1t be enjoined from Inciting local unions to strike against the petition- ers; from arranging for or proceeding with a referendum vote upon the ques- tion of striking against the Typothe- tae or its members for refusal to in- stitute the closed shop or the elght- hour day and to enjoin the union from paying any money to further any such strikes.

Dr. Liebknecht’s counsel took the stand that their client had written only against an unconstitutional em- ployment of the army and had never advocated disobedience nor violence, to which the socialists were funda- mentally opposed. Counsel added that thelr client and socialists generally were peaceful and only desired the abolition of militaryism as being the greatest hindrance to the peacefud de- velopment of the country.

During the night they were spirited away and the sheriff and his deputies claim they do not know just when the prisoners were taken. It was the mob’s intention to hang all three, but after Jackson and Shonts had been hanged Robinson broke from the barn where he was being held and was shot as he fled. DENOUNCES TITLE HUNTING Hetty Green Strongly Opposed to In- ternational Marriages. New York, Oct. 1.—Mrs. Hetty Green, often referred to as the richest woman in the world, is strongly op- posed to international marriages, ac- cording to an interview with her which is published here. “I am glad Gladys Vanderbilt is not my daughter,” she is quoted as saying. “There are.thousands of honest young workingmen in the United States good enough to be any girl's husband. The girls who go to Europe to get their husbands deserve what they get —and more. If my son married a for- eign woman because the union would bring him a title I would disown him.” Mrs. Green said she had no inten- tion of retiring from business. “When I get out of business,” she sald, “my work in this world shall have been done. I have been busy forty-two years and work has made me young and happy.” Of the financial outlook Mrs. Green had this to say: “We safely passed the.period when there was danger of panic. Money may be tight again about the first of the year, but I do not look for serious business embarrassment.” WESTERN UNION FIRM. Refuses to Discuss Possible Terms of Settling Strike.

Straight Talks on Patent Medicines The “Rexall” Remedies deserve confidence. As all these remedies are grouped under one name, they must suc- ceed or fail together. There must be no weak links in this chain. One unworthy remedy would mean disaster to the entire plan. If you, for example, purchased the “Rexall” Cough Cure and were not cured by it, how could we expect you to place any faith thereafter in the Dyspepsia Cure or any other member of the “Rexall” REXALL DYSPEPSIA TABLETS The remarkable success of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets is largely due to the new and suc- cessful method of manufacture, whereby the well known prop- erties of Bismuth Subnitrate and Pepsin have been combined with carminitives and other agents. Bismuth Subnitrate and Pep- ijs sin are recognized by the entire medical profession as specifics for acute indigestion or chronic dyspepsia. The Pepsin used is manufac- tured under a new process which develops its greatest ef- ficiency. Pepsin not onlg sup- plies to the digestive machinery one of the most important ele- ments of the digestive fluid, but it seems to exert a tonic influ- ence upon the glands which supply all the other elements. The carminitives add prop- erties which promptly relieve pains caused by undigested food. The combination of the whole . makes a remedy absolutely in- valuable to any ‘man or woman suffering from dyspepsia—and not only a remedy, but a cure which works by gradually re- building and stimulating th e glands which perform the di- gestive functions.
