_THE_EVENTNG STAR. WASHINGTON. D. T.” FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1929 HIGHER SEA SAFETY STANDARDS URGED Ship Board for Utmost Action | by U. S. Delegates at { London April 16. By the Associated Press. 1 The Shipping Board has put itself | formally on record, urging that the American delegation to the conference on the sefety of life at sea do all in its power to raise the standards of pro- tection against the danger of ocean travel to the highest degree practicable. The resolution declared that it was | necessary not only for high standards | to be adopted on American ships, but on other ships also “so that American ship owners, in competing with foreign flag hips, shall not be affected adverse- | ly by the additional costs incurred in | providing the most approved safety | measures.” The conference will meet in London April 16. Work in preparation for the conference has been going on since early in 1928. The first international conference on the safety of life at sea was held in London in 1914, being called after the | Titanic struck an iceberg and sank with the Joss of 1490 lives in April, 1912. The date for the second meeting had been get before the steamer Vestris sank in November, but that sea tragedy drew public attention to the work of | the forthcoming convention TWO DENY KNOWING OF ALCOHOL PLANT {Buffalo Company Origin Subject of | Testimony by U.

They swore that, although they were directors of the Illinois Alcohol Co. of Belvidere, Ill, they had no knowledge ©f the formation or existence of the | Nlinois Alcohol Co. of Buffalo.

JNO. PRETTIMAN | Above is taken from a statement received a few days ago from Mr. Jno, Prettiman, 2211 H St. N.W. Mr. Prettiman is a retired first sergeant, having spent thirty years |! in the U. S. Army. He is well || known in Washington where he has resided for a number of years. | Continuing with his statement, he says: For a number of years I suffered with stomach disorders and try, as 1 did, was unable to find a medicine that would help me at all. My stomach felt so sore |and hurt so bad I couldn't stand to touch it, burnt like fire, eating any heavy foods was out of the question, what little I did eat did not agree with me and I lost in weight and strength until I was hardly able to do a thing. I was always constipated, system was filled with poisons and I thought I had ulcers of the stomach, also high blood pressure, I suffered with headaches and the pains in | the lower part of the stomach were 80 severe at times, I could Iardly stand them, just had to go to bed for days at a time. Medicines I used did not help, so I went to Hot Springs, staved there three months taking the baths, but in the end I found it was only time and money wasted, and I came back to Wash- ington disgusted. When I saw Miller's Herb tract (formerly called Herb Juice) advertised, 1d try one bottle, e all the rest. mzde for just such troubles as I had, for the first few doses eased the pains in my stom- ach, bowels began to move regular {and in a few days, I felt better in every way than I had for years. I can now eat most everything I | | want, no more gas or indigestion, | stomach does not hurt at all, head- aches are also gone as other pains | and I feel better in every way than I have felt for years. I have| never given a statement of this kind before, but this is one medicine worth every one's praise and 1 for one will 'speak a good word for Miller's | Herb Extract wherever I go. You don't need any pills with this medi- it’s a real medicine which is self-guaranteed to give results. A medicine you can take three or four bottles of without seeing any results is not much medicine.

Councilman Jacobson expressed the opinion that the killing was not con- nected with the “frame-up” case, In which a woman, Mrs. Callie Grimes, five policemen and a politician are on trial. He said he believed that any bullets de- signed to stop Donald Crawford’s testi- mony would have been directed at Don- ald, and not at his father. Police were working on one theory, that Crawford met his death as the re- sult of having been mixed up in a boot- leg war. A Sodality of Deaf Mutes has been organized in Toledo.
