WASHINGTON, March 13.—The Senate committee on privileges and elections to- i 1 day instructed a sub-committee, consist- jng of 8 tors Foraker, Knox and Bail- | ley, to e ine the several bills to pro- hibit national banks from contributing money for campalgn purposes and report whetker, in their opinion, any of these measures, if enacted into a law, would prevent such evils in the future. if the pending measures were insufficient. Tillman infgrmed the committee that in the campaign of 18% he knew of one city where six or seven banks contributed to political funds, the entire amount aggre- gating $10,000 or $12,000. He saild that it the committee cared to enter on an in- vestigation he would give the name of the city, the names of the banks and the names of his informants. Several mem- bers of the committee declared that there had been an understanding that banks had been contributing to campaign funds, | but that it would be unwise to enter on a general investigation. The best policy, | it was argued, would be to prevent such { contributions in the' future, and with | that end in view the sub-committee was | appointed, ——————— 00D BILL MAY BE KILLED IN THE HOUSE WASHINGTON, March 13—There are indications that the statehood bill may be referred by Speaker Cannen to'the committee on Territories. This action, the friends of the statehood for Indian Territory and Oklahoma fear, will en- jtirely defeat the measure. The com- | mittee can retain the bill indefinitely, and should it gppear that there are “insurgent” votes enough to concur with the Senate, the bill would not, they say, be brought into the House. Under the rules of the House a Sen- ate amendment to a House bill which changes the charge on the treasury sends the bill to committee auto- matically. The amendment in question is one granting leu lands to the new State for school purpeses in case sec- tions 13 and 33, reserved in each town- ship, proved to be mineral lands. i STATEH from Your Food OTS of people are starving with @ full stomach. You know, it's not how much we Eat, but how we Digest that makes us Strong, or Brainy, or Successful. When the Bowels are filled with undi- gested food we may be a great deal worse off than if we were half starved for want of Food. " Because, food that stays too long in the Bowels decays there, just as if it stayed too long in the open air. . Well, when food decays in the Bowels, irough delayed and overdue action, what fiappens ? The millions of little Suction Pumps that line the Bowels and Intestines then draw Poison from the decayed Food, instead of the Nourishment they were intended to draw. This Poison gets into the blood and, in time, spreads all over the body, unless the Cause of Constipation is promptly removed. That Cause of Constipation is Weak, or Lazy, Bowel Muscles, * P 1 When ypur Bowel-Muscles grow flabby they need Exercise to strengthep them — not “ Physic'’ to pamper them. There's only one kind of Artificial Exercise for the Bowel-Muscles Its name is “ CASCARETS," and ifs price is Ten Cents a box. Cascarets act like Exercise on the Muscles of the Bowels, and make them stronger every time they force these Muscles to act naturally. The stronger these Muscles prope! the iood, the stronger does the friction of the food act on the flow of Digestive Juices. The more of these Juices that act on ocod, the more Nutriment does that food turn into, and the richer nourishment do the little Suction Pumps of the Intestines draw out of it. More Strength It needs only one Cascaret ata time to stimulateall the Bowel-Muscies enough, without purging, discomfort or loss of nutrition, 5 So, if you want the same natural action that a six-mile walk in the country would give you, (without the weariness) take one Cascaret at atime, withintervals between, till you reach the exact condis tion you desire. [4 One Cascaret at a time will ‘properly cleanse a foul Breath, or Coated Tongue, thus proving clearly its ready, steady, sure, but mild and effective action. A coming Headache can be warded off, * % ¥ in short order, by a single Cascaret, and | the cause removed. | Heartburn, Gas-belching, Acid-risings in the throat, and Colicky feeling aresure signs of Bowel trouble from food poisons, and should be dealt with promptly. One Cascaret will stop the coming trouble, move on the Bowel load, and fres the Digestive Juices, if that one Cascaret Is taken as soon s the first signs arg noticed. > - Don't fail to carry the Vest Pocket Cascaret Box with you constantly.

H. Stansbury, an ex-Union soldler, instead of J. A. Bell, a business man who has been indorsed by the Republican organization. Representative Gillett has telegraphed to representative men In his district to learn whether the compromise legislation | suggested, by which the waters of Sacra- mento River are to be diverted for eight | months in-the year for irrigation pur- | poss, would, under certain conditions, be | satisfactory to thegse of his constituents | Who fear that tile execution of the plans | of the Central Canal and Irrigation Com- pany would Interfere with navigation. The conditions are that the MeKinlay bill now hefore the House interstate commerce committee shall be so amended as to_give the War Department complete superyi- | slon over the construction of irrigation | works, and power to act at any time when the navigation of a river is threatened | with injury. | Gillett made it plain today that his po- sition was not necessarily that of an op- ponent of the irrigation project. He did not wish the navigability of ,the Sacra- mento interfered with, but if assurance is given from official sources here that proper safeguards in this direction are to be provided he wili make no objection to the carrying out of the canal scheme. He believes that if the irrigation project is put into effect it will be of great benefit to a large area of the State, and if the interests of his own constituents are not injuriously affected he wishes this benefit to be enjoyed. . APFROPRIATION FOR BENICIA. Senator Perkins' amendment to the sundry civil bill appropriating $30,000 for increasing the facllities at Benecla has | been favorably reported upon by the War Department. General Crozier, chief of | ordnance, is opposed to the establish- ment of a gun factory on the Pacific facilities at Benecia for the repair of armament and similar work. T. G. Daniels, editor of the Alameda Argus, who is in-Washington, hopes to secure the appointment ag Register of the General Land Office, for which he has the support of Senators Perkins and Flint.

It now appears probable that the railroad will not go through Gore | Canyon, but will follow a new route via Steamboat Springs, leaving Gore Canyon available for the reclamation service. The Senate today passed a bill. appro- priating $250,000 for a new public build- ing at Eureka.

Rear Admiral Brownson is censured in the report for exacting a pledge from midshipmen not to engage in hazing and for allowing the boys to think the pledge was personal to him and did not hold after Rear Admiral Sands became super- Intendent at the academy. Lieutenant C. P. Snyder is also censured for having countenanced hazing. Graduated punishment for hazing is recommended by the sub-committee, which s firmly of the opinion that the present system, expelling all midshipmen found guilty of hazing, is vicious. Rear Admiral Sands and other officers now at the academy are praised for the disci- | pline they are maintaining and the report shows that cadet officers have been chiefly responsible for hazing. As a result of its examination of wit- nesses the sub-committee found that 281 members of the three upper classes at the academy, including the class which was recently graduated, have been guilty of hazing and on trlal could be expelled from the academy. This seems to be g great and unnecessary loss to the Gov- ernment in the opinion of the members of the committee, who found that many of the offenses were trivial. The report makes it clear that a failure of cadet officers to perform their duties makes it impossible for naval officers. in charge to maintain discipline and de- nounces the code of honor, which permits cadet officers to shun their duties. The committes says the present system of maintaining order is correct. but urges that officers in charge shall be more ac- tive in reporting violations and shall be carefel to report all knowledge of viola- tions which they do not actually see. With the exception of Lieutenant Sny- der, disciplinary officers are exonerated from connivance at hazing. He is charged with having Indicated to upper class men that ‘fourth class men might be disci- plined by upper class men for laughing at an order. SENATOR SMOOT USES Indignantly: Denies Charges That He Has Three Wives. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, March 13.—Senator Reed Smoot today resorted to unapostolic language in entering a denial of the charge that he has three wives. “It is an abeolutely blank lie,” declared the Mcrmon Sénator—'blank,” howaver, ot heing the word he used. o Senator Smoot seems to know some- thing abcut N. E. Clemenson of logan, Utah. who is alleged to have deciared that Smcot married Rose Hamilton, a Milwaukee girl, in 1903, and that later he married a woman named Loctie Grecn- wood. The Senator accompanies his vig- crous denial by stating that Clemenson was once a Morman and was expelled from the church; that later he jolned the Presbyterian church and got into trouble, and that only recently officers of the law were looking for him to answer to a charge of impersonating an officer. Senator Smoot made this statement to- night: “That story only serves to show the depths to which my traducers have de- scended in their efforts to place me in a false light before the country. I am not 2 polygamist and never have been. I have one wife and six children.” PIONEERS SHOW DEAD COMRADE LAST HONORS e The funeral of Judge Gustavus A.

E. ‘Whitney, January 18, 1902, $20; L. W. Jones, February 7, 1906, $10. Examination of the tags shows ‘two large amounts, one January 16, 1903, for $3645.65 and a second for $3800, dated April 26, 1905. Whether the former amount rep- resents a total of small sums utilized or whether it was put in against a single withdrawal cannot be explained. All of the tags signed Feidler were identified as in the handwriting of the dead County Treasurer. PROTESTED TO FEIDLER. Upon Husband, the chief deputy, rests what explanation can be made at this time. He declares he had often rem- onstrated with Feldler over the use of the fund and that the only satisfaction he obtained was a gruff command from the chief to attend to his own affairs. I am the Treasurer, not you,” was the answer I recelved,” said Husband this afternoon when requested to disclose what he could of the operations of the office. The method tnployod to keep track of the fund was a very simple one. To know clearly what composed the fund it must be understood that there is considerable litigation which requires the deposit of coin in court pending adjudication. For example, in contested condemnation pro- ceedings oftentimes the amount offered will be placed fn the court's hands pend- ing decision as to the award. This money is taken by the County Clerk and by him turned over to the County Treasurer and there placedein this suspense fund to await a withdrawal order from court, when it is handed back”to the County Clerk. In time a considerable amount has been deposited. Feldler always had ample on hand to protect himself, as the withdraw- als came much more slowly than deposits were made. For example as to the way the fund was handled, the following copy of a receipt on file in the Treasurer’s of- fice will show: “January 6, 1906. “A. W. Feidler, Esq., County Treasurer: “Dear Sir: I herewith depogit with you as a special deposit in the cause entitled Thomas J. Clark versus G. A. Wanger the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars, same to be held by you pending a disposi- tion of sald action. “John P. Cook, County Clerk; by A. A. Rogers, deputy.” COUNTY FUNDS INTACT. Much relief was felt by county officlals as soon as the fact was fixed that the regular funds of the county had not been disturbed. These are subject to a month- ly count and there has been nothing dis- covered to indicate that they have in the slightest been irregularly handled. The special fund was not subjeet to count by the Supervisors, as it contained money under Superior Court jurisdiction solely, and the Ceunty 'Treasurer was not re- sponsible to the board for the money. ‘Where did the money go? The question will be asked and reasked by all of Feid- ler's friends long after the irregularity has ceased to interest or concern the pub- lie. Arthur W. Feidler held his head high and in the esteem of men who had grown up with him in Alameda County from boyhood he stood as the highest type of man of honor and clean dealing. In all of his relations’in life he seemed to have been a man of probity and scruple as to made of living. His tastes were not those that much famillarity with the night life would cultivate, He was a home man, slmple and plain. That was one side. If there was another his friends cannot see it As always follows the wake of such oc- currences as that which has darkened his official career, rumor spreads many “but th intangible. It is storles, ey s mm now that hmfl lost heavily in oil and mini the i'm:‘ d culations; that he enjoyed of existence, But the evi- dence is most intangible. LOSS OF FEES CRIPPLES HIM. compelled lm-&-un—a— to not a few of his friends, who thought nothing of it at the time. It now appears that he must have been hard pressed, for instead of holding the fees In reserve against a possible upset of the law he was obliged to press his own personal re- sources to the limit of selling a lucrative business to make a settlement. Yet this explanation fails to throw much light on the shortage, for there is nothing yet to show that he had squandered money riotously or had been a notorious gambler elther at cards or at the races. There was. absolutely nothing dishonorable in the tax collections. They were, legalized and he made full restoration when the courts decided against the fee. WILL FATHOM MYSTERY. Yet, says Chief Deputy Husband, this pilfering had been going on since 1901 And why had nothing been done to stop it? Husband explains: “The fund was absolutely in Feidler's control. He handled it as a special fund. It was not connected with the general county money in the slightest. I had knowledge that he was putting in tags against the fund and I often, not once. but often, toid him he should not do it. 1 never received any other answer except that ‘I am the Treasurer.” “It was nothing more than a matter of self-protection that those most concerned should know as soon as he died. I noti- fled hia attorney, L. 8. Church, immedi- ately. The greatest regret I have is that it should have become public before the funeral.”” And that was the sentiment of the friends who were waiting to pay their last tribute of respect to the memory of a man who in life had not given them cause, so far as they knew, to regret they had known him as a friend. Not a stone will be left unturned in the effort to fathom the difficulty. The liability for the deficit is covered by the surety boad, for the holding of the coin is an auther- ized one, and was within the County Treasurer’s duties. In view of conditions, however, the Board of Supervisors will order an experting of all of the accounts. Heretofore the records of the fund itself have been gone over by experts, but only to check the balances. The money was not examined. Feidler's funeral will be held Thursday morning at 11 o’clock from the First Con- gregational Church. ‘The Board of Super- visors will elect a successor to Feidler Thursday afternoon. ——— Headaches and Neuralgia From Colds.

If it be true, &s the Japanese emigra- tion agents contend, that the planters are doing all in their power to prevent the emigration of Japanese laborers, them it may be inferred that they are the legs likely to come to the Governor's terms in the matter of offering inducements ¥o laborer settlers from Europe. He Is in a position that is by no means that of champloning the cause of the planters, if cheap labor be considered a cause of the sugar men, but he is determined to stay by the propesition that settlers musg be encouraged. From the best of autherity it may be said that the Governor wants te get. hold of the books of the various plantation agencles. He wants to see to whom cer- tain money has been paid for legal ser- vices, particularly those of the, sugar concerns by whom was paid $2000 legal or advisery services. » Of course the Governor has o power to demand the books of the plantation agencles. The only way this could be effected would be through the United States District Attorney taking sueh ae- tion in the matter as would mecessarily call for the production of the ke, Governor Atkinson is in cldse touch with President Roosevelt in ‘this affafr.
