The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a burn- ing, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the blad- der, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the wa- ter passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can’t control urina- tion. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or-three days. This will neu- tralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which ,then act noermally again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders 4.caused by uric acid irritation. Jad * Balts is splendid for kidneys and causes no had effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, effer- vescent lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble. Lo~ | chief fame in Russia rests upon his RUSSIA'S FIRST PRIME MINISTER 1S DEAD Count Witte Was Pienipotentiary at Portsmouth, N. H. London, March 13, 9:36 Count Sergius Julowich Witte, Rus- sia’s first prime minister, died last night, says a Petrograd despatch to Reuter’s Telegram company. Count Witte's death was due to in- fluenza. ’ Count Witte, who was born June 29, 1849, at Tiflis, was one of the Rus- sian plenipotentiaries at Portsmouth, N. H,, in the negotiations for peace with Japan in 1905. He afterwards was made a count and appointed president of the new ministry, but re- tired in 1906 and held no important post after that time. Sick One Week. Count Witte was taken sick a week ago. Count Witte was regarded as in some respects one of the most re- markable men his country had pro- duced, but his reputation was even greater abroad than at home. His A, M— development of manufacturing indus- tries, the expansion of railroads and the placing of the monetary system upon a gold basis Although always a firm supporter of the monarchy, he recognized the power of the people. On his father’s side his family was of common origin, but his mother was a descendant of the Ruriks, rulers of Russia before the Romanoff dynasty attained power. Minister of Railways. After his graduation from the Uni- ‘| Under the piea of regulating the liquor versity of Odessa, Witte entered the railroad service, advancement in which . he secured through his mas- tery of the question of tariff rates. In the meantime he had married a sister of General Fadieff. He first attracted attention nationally during the Russo- Turkish war by the administrative ca- pacity he displayed in the movement of army supplies. He went to Petro- grad in 1879 and was given increas- ingly responsible posts in the railroad ce. Alexander III appointed him minister of railways and communica- tions in 1892 and soon afterwards he was made minister of finance, It was then that he began to develop his great scheme for the creation of home manufactures and the wide extension of Russia’s railroad system which eventually took the Siberian road to the Pacific. In his efforts along these lines Witte used every power of the state. Subventions and government orders aided factories and mills until they Wwere running full blast. The state took over the private railroads, guar- anteeing the bonds. To do all this he borrowed immense sums in France. traffic he had the state take over the vodka business of the empire, provid- ing a great revenue. His crowning achievement was regarded, however, as the establishment of the gold stand- ard. As minister of finance in 1893 he reached the height of his power. Intrigues Against Him. His policy in regard to Manchuria, which he desired to develop only from a commercial and not from a political viewpoint, resulted in 'powerful in- trigues against him, which resulted in his removal in 1903 as minister of nance. He went for a time to Paris, but returned to Petrograd when the Russo-Japanese war was in progress. When President Roosevelt prevailed upon the emperor to consider terms of peace, practically the entire na- tion united in demanding the selec- tion of Witte as plenipotentiary. At the Portsmouth conference he suc- ceeded in gaining terms under which Russia. was not obliged to pay a cash indemnity to Japan. This achieve- ment made Witte again a hero to the Russians. The emperor rewarded him for his services by making him a count. Russia’s First Premier. It was shortly after the conclusion of peace with Japan that the Rus- sian people began clamoring harder than ever for a share in the govern- ment. When the imperial manifesto was - issued which granted some of the demands, Witte became premier in Russia’s first real cabinet, on October 31, 1905. His appointment as pres- ident of the council of ministers was announced a week later. The next day he pledged himself to support the plan for a convocation of the na- Because of the op- tional assembly.

The liberals refused to aid him. At the second session of his cabinet on November 11, a project was considered for placing the council of empire on an elective basis. About this time there were serious labor troubles in all parts of the em- pire. Serious threats on the part of the Pales to proclaim a revolution led Count Witte to advise the emperor to declare martial law in Poland. Troops were employved to quell dis- orders in various sections of the caun- try Reports were current that he had been condemned to death by the anarchists. On November 16 premier made a personal appeal to workmen ta return to their duties, but his efforts had no immediate effect and the workmen’s council broke off negotiations with him two days later. On November 19, however, the coun. cil decided to end the strike. Resigned as Premier. The number of enemies of the pre- mier steadily increased and the de- mand for his removal gained strength. Dissatisfied with his treatment at the hands of the emperor and feeling that it was beyond his power to restore tranquility, Count Witte tendered his resignation as premier on December , 19 but it was not accepted and he was ordered to retain his office until he was relieved. Official an- nouncement that his resignation had been accepted was made, however, on May 3, 1906, and his retirement from public life became complete. In his farewell rescript to Count Witte Em- | peror Nichalas thanked him cordially for his services to the empire and attributed his retirement to the\ hat- tering of his health by his arduous labors. Shortly after his retirement Count Witte left Russia with his sec- ond wife and visited various health re- sorts, undergoing several operations. In recent years several efforts had been made by his friends to have him ap- pointed to several important offices in Russia, but they were unsuccessful and there was no evidence that he fostered them. THAW AGQUITTED OF CONSPIRACY BY JURY (Continued From First Page.) ings which resulted in Thaw's removal to New York. Wished to Be Emlightened. Word was sent to Justice Page at 11:25 o'clock by the jury that it wished to be further enlightened on certain matters, Justice Page went to the court room from his chambers and the jury was brought in from the jury room. The crowd in the corridors, hear- ing that the jury had been brought in, rushed to the court room in antici- pation of a verdict. Thaw entered the room and took his seat with coun- sel. His mother, sister, and step- brother filed in and took seats. When the court room was filled the doors were locked. Thaw's Foreman Bailey announced that the jury would like to hear read the testi- mony given by Thaw, and Justice Page instructed the stenographer to comply. Thaw spent an hour and 2 half on the stand Thursday. Franklin Kennedy, the deputy at- torney general, who has conducted the state’s case, turned over to the police an anonymous typewritten let- ter, bearing a Boston post mark of yesterday. The writer proclaimed himself Chief of the Black Hand, said he would be in court today, intimated that dire consequences would follow a conviction of Thaw, and concluded: “H. K, Thaw is sane and must be set at liberty.” Boston Police Notified. The Boston police were notified and an attempt will be made, it was said, to arrest the writer. The jury ‘was locked up last night after it had deliberated for nearly five hours and failed to find a verdict. Thaw, who had been waiting word ifrom the jury room in the sheriff’s office directly above the court room, wus taken back to his cell in the Tombs prison to spend the night. In the hope that a verdict ulti- mately might be found, the presiding supreme court justice and attorneys for both sides remained In the crimi- nal courts building until 11:22 o’clock last night. Then Justice Page caused the announcement to be made that he had decided to declare a recess until 10 o’clock this morning. Justice Page’s Charge. Justice Page nhad the foreman de- termine whether he preferred to go on with the case or take a recess un- til this morning. The jury elected to centinue and Justice Page according- 1y began his charge. He said that it was not necessary in order to prove conspiracy for the people of the state of New York to prove that the parties to the alleged conspiracy had come together. “If they ‘act in concert,” said Jus- tice Page, “that is sufficient to es- tablish their participation. Previous acquaintance is unnecessary. If vou find that the actions of the co-defend- ants here were so timid that they acted in concert with the defendant Thaw, then there was a conspiracy and their acts cannot be considered as designed to obstruct justice and the proper administration of the law. Under the commitment originally signed by Justice Dowling Thaw could have been taken back to Matteawan had he been apprehended anywhere within the boundaries of the state. Regarding Participants. “The participants in a conspiracy should be considered builty if they aided the defendant Thaw out of the state in an illegal manner. It was true that there was nothing in the ev dence to show that the defendant Thompson played any part In a con- spiracy up to the time they stopped Testimony Read. on the road to Connecticut. How- the | €ver, Thompsson can be considered :1‘ member of a conspiracy if he entered it at any time prior to the crossing of the state line. “You, gentlemen, may bring in a general verdic: ror or against all of the defendants or you may bring in a verdict for some and against others. T'he question os sanity is an issue in this case only insofar as Thaw may have been shown to have the capacity to intend to do the acts charged against him, The defense concedes that he had at least this mucn mental capacity.” John B. Stanchfield entered and took exception to that part of the charge in which Justice Page said | that sanity was not an issue. Jus- | tice Page then delivered several | charges requested by counsel for both sides. i Jury Retircé at 5:29. | The jury retired at 5:29 o’cloc and remained in deliberation for about an hour and a quarter. As no verdict had then been reached Jus- | tice Page declared a = recess until 9 o'clock and the jury was taken out | of the building for dinner. The | jurors returned from dinner at 9:05 o'clock and immediately resumed | their dellberations. 1 Still Legally Insane. { Thaw’s attorneys stated trat as| Thaw was still considered legally in. sane he was still a ward of the state and consequently the superintend- ent of Matteawan had authority to take him there. | The attorneys said, however, that a writ of habeas corpus had been made out and was awaiting the sig- nature of a supreme court justice. They said ‘they planned to have the Wwrit signed immediatly upon the re- turn of the jury with a verdict or a disagreement. This writ, the attor- neys asserted, would be served upon the representatives of the superin- | tendent of Matteawan before they had a chance to remove him from | the Tombs prison. Returnable in Negr Future, | The writ it was said, was return- able some time in the near future and would serve to keep Thaw with- | in the jurisdiction of the courts of this county. If Thaw should be tak- en back to Matteawan he would be under the jurisdiction of the courts of Westchester county, another ju- | dicial district. ‘While Thaw was in court he was under the control of the sheriff of this county. The sheriff said he was responsible for the return of Thaw from the courtroom to the Tombs prison. Any demand that) the rep- resentatives of the superintendent of Matteawan made for Thaw, Sheriff Griffenhagen said, would hayve to be made upon the warden of the Tombs. Thaw's attorneys believed that they would have sufficient time be- fore Thaw was returned to the Tombs from the courtroom in which BIG REAL ESTATE WEEK. Pieces Change Hands Records Show.
