An inestimable amount of injury, ac cording to an eminent medical author ity. is done by the use of pills and salts, as most of these provide only temporary relief at the expense of per manent injury. Science has found a newer, better way; a means as simple as Nature it self. In perfect health, a natural lubricant keeps the food waste soft. Thus it is easily eliminated, but when constipa tion exists, this natural lubricant is not sufficient. To And something to take the place of this natural lubricant, medical au< thorities have conducted exhaustive re search. They have discovered that the gentle, lubricating action of Nujol most closely resembles that of Nature’s own lubricant. As Nujol is not a laxative, it cannot gripe. It Is not a medicine in any sense of the word, and, like pure water, it is harmless. Get n bottle from your druggist.—Advertisement.

Grand Jury to Get Evidence He Deliberately Lured Vic tim to Lonely Road to Commit Murder. Universal Service. White Plains, N. Y., June 13.—A mass of evidence designed to prove that Walter S. Ward actually planned the slaying of Clarence Pet ers on the lonely Kenisco road and deliberately lured his victim there with homicidal Intent will be intro day. That an indictment charging Ward with murder in the first degree will be returned at tbe completion of the inquiry now in progress seems cer tain. The fact that Ward and his at torneys lodged a black mail complaint against two Individuals and then de clined to aid the authorities in run ning them down will also be brought to the attention of tbe probers. Ward Resents Officials’ Tactics. District Attorney Weeks and Sher iff Werner has made repeated efforts to secure an elaboration of the black mail story Ward told ^o justify the killing of Peters. Ward and his attorneys seemed to resent these tactics and have flatly refused to give Weeks the details of the blackmail or to furnish leads that might lead to the apprehension of the alleged accomplices of Peters. The most important witnesses to appear before tho probers Tuesday will be Ralph Ward, brother of the confessed slayef and Elwood Heff ner, whose testimony is expected to be of a startling nature. When Heffner was arrested by the New Rochelle police he had in his possession a letter written by Ward on the day of the murder in which Ward stated he was no longer Inter ested in a certain calibre of informa tion he had been receiving. Indicate Ward Plunger. Opening up a vista of turf Intrigue which may uncover the real motive for tho slaying of Peters, was the claim made Monday night by Heffner that he had given Ward a hot tip on "Ashume” running on a southern track March 27—that the horse won at odds of 8 to 5 and that Ward was hounded by touts for pay In return for the "information.” The men alleged to have visited Ward In his office are Heffner, Har old B. Byrnes, said to have been barred from eastern tracks, and Al fred E. Blute. an ex-tralner. Ward made his bargain with Byrnes and Heffner. Ward, If he bet $1,000 as claimed on "Ashume,” won $1,600. Blute said he never received any funds from W’ard nor had he ever received a cent from this transac tion. These statemens if true, indicate that Ward, self-confessed slayer of Peters, was a plunger.

Slashes In Appropriation Bill, If Effected, Would Wreck Ship Building Plant In Cali fornia, Is Charge. BY JAMES R. NOURSE Universal Service Correspondent. Washington, June 13,—It is a far cry from politics In Michigan to maintenance of the navy's ship build ing plant at Mare Island, Cal., but that is the very thing which has caused the Senate naval affairs com mittee to report to the Senate slash es in the appropriation bill, vvhuh, if effected would wreck the Mare Is land establishment. The appropriation bill as passed by the House carried total authoriza tions for Mare Island of $2,800,000, of which amount $750,000 was to be available July 1 this year. The Sen ate committee cut this to $250,000, which will not be sufficient to keep the Mare Island plant from becoming useless. Senator King, of Utah, in a state ment issued Monday, characterized the committee's action as a "conrpir ary 10 wreca atare isianu, anu ac cused Senator Newberry, of Michi gan, of being the chief conspirator. Here Is Story. • Hero is the story as outlined by Senator King and others: Newberry has won his seat in the Senate after a bitter contest In which he confessed expenditures in big pri mary election exceeding $190,000. He is a close friend of Senator Townsend, his colleague, who defended him in this contest and who comes up for re-election this fall. Townsend is op posed by Hep. Pat Kelley, of Michi gan. acting chairman of the House naval aSfairs committee and who put the naval bill through the House carrying the $2,S00.O00 authorization for Mare Island. Now, Senator King asserts, and Kelley's friends claim, Newberry has forced the Senate committee to slash the Mare Island appropriation for the purpose of tukinng a ldackhanded smash at Kelley and destroying what ever credit Kelley might gain from putting the bill through the House. Kelley went into conference with Representative Curry, of California, and chairman Madden, of the House appropriations, committee. He ob tained from Madden an absolute promise that the House will not sup port the cut in the Mare Island ap propriation. jdadden declared that the Senate will have to accept the bill as the House passed it or there wilt be no appropriation measure for sup port of the navy passedi at this ses sion. Only Side Issue. The fact that the $500,000 cut from the Mare Island appropriation was transferred to the Bremerton, Wash., yard and that Senator Poindexter, acting chairman of the committee, is from that state, is only a stdie issue In the controversy. Poindexter does not attempt to claim responsibility for having the appropriation transferred from the California yard to the one in Washington. Why Newberry In his eagerness to put a crimp in Pat Kelley, as charged, should have gone out of his way to offend the Cilifornla senators, John son and Shortrldge, Is hard to under stand. Short ridge voted for New berry and Johnson did not vote against him because he was not here. DR. KAPP IS DEAD, SAYS BERLIN REPORT Chancellor of Revolutionary German Government and “Putsch” Organizer. Universal Service. Bondon, June 13.—A Berlin dis patch to the Central News announces the death of Dr. Wolfgang Kapp, who for a short time in 1920 was chancel lor of the revolutionary German gov ernment and who was the organizer of the famous ' Putsch” which re sulted disastrously. It was recently understood that Dr. Kapp was on his way to Germany, having offered to return and stand trial for Ills part in the revolutionary movement. Dr. Wolfgang Von Kapp. who was president of the Fatherland party in 1920, and for a short time chancellor, was an ardent advocate of ‘Truthless warfare” and during the war was constantly urging the construction of more l'-boats, to the existence of which craft he accredited the failure of Japan to send a great army to Eu rope to help the allies. Diving the war he became involved in a dispute with Chancellor Von Bethman Hollweg over the conduct of the war and the feud raged until there was talk of a duel. Dr. Von Kapp was born in New York on June 24. 1858. SHE DIDN'T DO IT.

Fight to Reduce Authority of Supreme Tribunal to Be Started at Once By Feder ation Now In Convention. BY EARL L. SHAUB, U/liversal Service Correspondent. Cincinnati, June 13.— A light to cut tile authority of the supreme court will he started at once lyy the Amer ican Federation of Labor which open ed its annual convention here Mon day. Delegates are embittered against tlie judiciary because of the ieeent decision of the supreme court in the Coronado case which holds unions responsible for damage to property during strikes. Their drive against the high tribu nal will he attempted through con gress. Tills convention will ask congress to exercise Its authority and draw a line over which the judiciary cannot step. Draft Plans In Secret. The executive council of the feder ation is in secret session Monday night drafting recommendations along these lines. They will he submitted to the contention in a day or so, in the form of a supplementary report of the council. This course will be in line with la bor's program lo elect enough con crri.uu irt n navi fa 11 t n niico hltvu f flV orable to workers. The convention will also lay plans for dealing with minor courts. In all probability unions will be in structed not to obey Injunctions which Imperil their cause In times of con troversies with employers. Union leaders hold that an injunction is not a law but one man's opinion and does not necessarily have to be obeyed. Organized labor feels it is in a death struggle with capital with its back to the wall and therefore has decided on this action to take away court au thority which workers say employers are using as a club. Would Have Judges Elected. Some delegates are advocating a constitutional amendment . under which judges will be elected Instead of appointed. Others want laws pro viding for the recall of Judges. The most rousing scenes that will occur In this convention will come when the guns are turned on the courts. The opening of the convention was purely formal. The usual welcoming addresses were made. When Mayor George Carrel said "the city is yours,” Samuel Gompers. president of the fed eration, remarked: "They know not what they do.” He added, however, that Cincinnati would be glad to invite them back. Gompers, In his opening address, broadcasted an invitation to employ- ' ers al! over the country “to meet tie around the table so we can settle our disputes.” Usual Defy to Capital. His speech was the usual defy to capital. "We do not fool ourselves Into any fancied security as to the obstacles which have been and are being thrown across our pathway of progress,” he said. “On the contrary, we under stand the designs and purposes of those who would weaken our spirit and crush the hopes of American la bor just as keenly as the*- do and we are just as ready as the antagonists of the rightful course and cause of the labor movement. "We shall go forward more deter m(nnH thnn pvpr thsif thnrn nhnll nnf be imposed upon our brow, upon our backs, the type of the man with the hoe, but that as free men and women we are created with certain inalien able rights, the right of life and lib erty and the pursuit of happiness.’' La Follette on Child Labor, Senator La Follette, of Wisconsin, will speak on child labor before the convention on Wednesday. The entire day has been set aside for a discussion of that question. A recent decision of the sureme court holding the child labor law unconstitutional Is another of the cases that aroused the Ire of labor. The convention probably will de cide Wednesday what steps they will take to stop the employment of labor In the face of the decision. Dele gates probably will lay a campaign for an amendment to the constitu tion or for seperat'e laws In each state. A bitter conventional fight is ex pected if a resolution Is introduced favoring the r“Cognltlon of soviet Russia. Battle if Foster Makes Move. Another battle will develop if Wil liam Z. Foster, head of the ‘'outlaw" switchmen, attempts to force -through his plan for one big union In each Industry. Foster contends that if there was only one union In the building trades, lor example, it would be easier to meet employers who would rather confer with one com mittee than a dozen. It is probable that an attempt will be made to link the American feder ation with international trades un ions, to which European unions be long. It will be bitterly opposed. “LENIN IS NOT DEAD.” Berlin, June 13—"Lenin Is not dead That mul ligan lie said with certain ty. Our information is that he is resting quietly in the Kremlin and that the prospects are not unfavor able for his complete recovery within two, months." This statement'was made to Fni versal Service Monday in Berman of ficial quarters which aio certain ly in a position to know. Herman sailing ships interned at Pa cific coast and South American ports during the war are now being used as lumber carriers. U. S. TO BE DRUG DRY WITHIN MONTH, REPORT Universal Service. Washington, June 13 -The Unb.cd States will be ‘"drug dry" within 30 days, treasury officials announced Monday. This will result from a nationwide survey to be completed by July 1 to determine the absolute minimum le gitimate needs of this country for habit-forming narcotics and the adoption of regulations to restrict the quantity to this figure In pounds and ounces. instead of tons of crude opium and coca leaves pouring Into the United States to find their way Into the hands of drug peddlers, there will be just enough for physicians to use In the legitimate practice of medicine. This Is made possible under the broad terms of the Jones-Mlller antl-nar catic law. Blank forms were sent Monday to every dealers In drugs and to medi cal associations. These are to bo re turned to the treasury by July 1 with complete statletlcal matter covering quantities and usages of narcotics. From them experts will be able to de termine the absolute drug require ments and draft regulations making It impossible to go beyond this limit. By July 15, It is said, permanent reg ulations will be ordered In force. LODGE TO CALL Call to Him to Hurry Back to Capital to Try to Bring Struggling Factions To gether Tomorrow. umvvrvHj ocivicc. Wasington, Juno 13—Conflicting views among Senate republicans as to the bes't method, of proceeding with the soldier bonus will result Monday In the sending out of a hurry call to Senator Lodge, major ity leader, to come back to Wash ington to bring the struggling ele ments together. It was announced that Senator Lodge will be here on Wednesday and will at once Issue a call for a conference of all the repub lican members to discuss the bonus legislation. The chief point of difference among the republicans is whether the tariff bill should be set aside in fa vor of the bonus bill, or whether It Is more advisable to go ahead with the tariff and dispose of It before giving any attention to the bonus measure. Will Block Bonus? One faction Insists that if the tar iff bill Is once set aside opponents of the bonus bill will block the latter measure with five or six weeks of de bate with the result that neither the tariff nor the bonus can be passed until after the primary elections are all over. The other faction believes that the bonus bill can be passed with brief debate and plenty of time will be left in which to return to the tariff and pass it too. Chairman McCumber, of the fi nance committee, who by virtue of that position Is nominally In charge of the bonus bill. Is one of those who want the tariff laid aside for the bonus measure. He Is optimistic as to the length of time which will be required to bring the bonus bill to a vote. Lodge Urges Tariff Action. But there are other leaders who just as strongly oppose displacing the tariff, and Senator Lodge Is one of them. Senators Curtis and Smoot are In the same group, and so Is Senator McCormick, who bears the responsibility of being chairman of the republican senatorial committee and is therefore Interested In de veloolnur the right kind of Issues for the campaign. It was hinted Monday that man agement of the bonus bill may be taken entirely out of Senator Mo Cumber's hands lnless the confer ence should decide that the tariff should give way to the bonus bill. If the conference decides otherwise, It Is likely that the bonus measure will be turned over to Senator Cur tis or to Senator Watson, of Indiana, thereby permitting McCumber to go on with the tariff until he finds out what he can do with It. McCumber j has had a hard Job on his hands with ' the tariff alone, and many of the other republicans think he ought to be relieved of the bonus bill until the Senate decides whether It In tends to pass the tariff or not. CHICAGO WON’T BAR ARBUCKLE’S FILMS Universal Service. Chicago, June 13.—Roscoe Ar buckle's films will not be barred from Chicago screens by the city coun cil.

I I --- t Desperadoes Return Fire After Blowing Rodney Safe, Oet No Money, Escape — Posse In Pursuit. Rodney, Ta,, June 13 (Tuesday)— A posse of citizens, heavily armed, Is scouring the surrounding highways, near here In hopes of overtaking the trio of unmasked yeggs, who shortly I after 1 o’clock this morning blew the, safe In the State Bank of Rodney, failed to obtain booty, engaged in a' gun battle with a proprlefbr of a( general store, and escacped In a high powered touring oar. ■ The blasts of the two charges of dynamite used by the yeggs awakenedi Charles Henkln, proprietor of a store across the street from the bank, who seized a shotgun and opened fire on the trio as they wore engaged In at tempting to force the safety deposit' boxes.
