CONTRACT GIVEN THE GERMANS Panama Canal Commissioner Hires Foreigners as Lumber-Carriers. WASHINGTON,- Dec 17. Some ques tions relating to the construction of .the Panama Canal were 'brought to the at tention of President Roosevelt today. Representatives Humphrey and Jones, of Washington, called at the White House to lodge a protest with the President against the shipping of lumber from the Puget Sound territory to the canal zone In foreign vessels. The President was in formed that the Canal Commission bad made a contract in Washington for 3,00). 000 feet of lumber, and that all of this lumber was to be shipped to the canal strip In German bottoms, to the absolute exclusion of American vessels which were lying In Puget Sound waiting for busi ness. Representative Humphrey, who is a member of the Merchant Marine Com mission, told the President that -40- Amer ican ships were lying Idle In the waters of Washington, while the German ships were carrying the lumber to Panama. Bids had been submitted by both Amer. lean and German vessel owners. They did not vary materially as to price, but the German vessels were willing to carry the lumber In broken cargoes, while the American vessels wanted full cargoes. The contract had been awarded to the German ships of the Co3mos Steamship Line. The President's callers felt that the awarding of the contract to German vessels was a discrimination against American shipping which ought not to be sanctioned. The President promised to look Into the subject.

LEADING CLOTHIER VOTES ARE THROWN OUT COLORADO SUPREME COURT FINDS FRAUD IN ELECTION. Prevailed in Several Denver Pre cincts Stand Taken by Tri bunal Unique. DENVER. Colo., Dec 17. Chief Justice Gabbart today announced the decision of the Supreme Court to throw out the en tire vote of three precincts of Ward Five and one precinct of Ward Seven at the late election on the ground that gross frauds' were committed in direct violation of the injunction served upon the election officials. Judge, Campbell concurred in the decision, but Judge .Steele dissented, saying that only the illegal votes which had been Identified should bo rejected and the legal votes should be counted. The decision does not. affect the votes for President and Congressmen, which had already been counted with the permission of the court. Through the action of the court In ex cluding five Denver precincts from the abstract of returns to date the Republi cans will secure a solid delegation In the Legislature from the City and County of Denver, and will obtain control of both branches of the Legislature, which can vaEscd the vote for state officers. On the face of the returns Alva Adams, Democratic candidate for Governor, had a plurality of about 11,000 but the Repub lican managers claim that when all fraud ulent votes are eliminated Governor Pea body will have a plurality and will be re seated. The five precincts which have been ex cluded from the count by the Supreme Court returned 1465 Democratic votes and 273 Republican. Tho court today heard testimony on the contempt charges against William H. Greene, police officer: Frank Mahon, alias "Spike" Bradle'y, prl?e fight er: Jean de Saye, Robert Goodman and Edward J. Whjoeler, in connection with the election in precinct 3, of Ward Four. BEN SELLING Wheeler has disappeared, but the other defendants were In court. George J. KIndel, Supreme Court watch er, testified that there was much repeat- Ing at the last election In this precinct, which was actively aided by Greene and Goodman. The court ordered the ballot boxes to be opened and the ballots examined by ex perts. The Supreme Court this afternoon granted a motion, made by John M. Waldron, one of the Republican attorneys, asking the court to enter an order requiring the Elec tion Commission to certify all the names and tho votes on all the judicial, execu tive and legislative offices to 'the Sate Canvassing Board. The result of thU or der of the court. It Is expected, will be that no more precincts will be thrown out, and that any further action toward the casting out of illegal votes will be made In contests before the County Courts. In county- contests, and before the State Can vassing Board in legislative matters, and before the Legislature concerning the of fice of Governor. The Supreme Court, however, will con tinue to Investigate the charges of diso bedience of tho court's orders and punish those found guilty of contempt. On Mon-. day next, the experts will report bn the condition of the ballot-box In Precinct 3. Ward Four, which was opened today. , Since the Supreme Court begai Its trials for contempt 19 men have been sentenced to the County Jail for terms varying from three months to oae year, and in nearly every case a fine has also been Imposed. In one case the judgment was suspended, but the qther 18 are serving their sen tences. The action of the Supreme Court In assuming the original jurisdiction of a city election is said to be without prece dent In tho annals of law. Before the late election the Republicans, believing that gross frauds were contemplated In a num. ber of wards usually strongly Democratic, petitioned the Supreme Court of the 'state to appoint watchers aiv? Issue an Injunc tion against any interference -with the watchers In 89 preclncts'of Denver. Both parties submitted lists of names from which tho watchers were to be chosen, but the court made Its selection from. tho list furnished by the Republicans. Similar- Injunctions havo been- Issued"' and watchers appointed In the past in Denvei on two occasions, but in both cases tho District Court issued the orders, and the injunctions were disregarded to a great extent. So far the Supreme Court has opened five ballot-boxes, and In each case gross fraud was discovered. While It Is ex pected that no more precincts will ba thrown out. It is believed that more boxes will be opened beside I the one opened today, and that they will form tho basis of contests before the Legislature. Already enough votes have been thrown out to Insure a Republican majority in the Senate, and the House had previously been declared Republican at the polls. On the county ticket, every Republican candidate now stands elected except in the cases of Assessor Alexander and Judge Ben Lindsay. The former appears to have about 1000 plurality, and the latter was on both tickets. This may be an empty honor for the Republicans, as the Supreme Court has yet to pass upon the validity of the Spring election for county officers. If that election Is declared va id the Democrats, .given, certificates of .elec tion at that time will continue to hold office. Trying to Provoke Demonstration. ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 17.

"Until about two years ago I had had plies for about 30 years, at times bleed ing and very painful. I got a 60-cent box of Pyramid Pile Cure at the drug store and used it and was entirely cured; got another box In case I need ed It. and as the piles did not return in six months I gave the remedy to a friend of mine who wanted the doctor to operate to cure him. My friend said he would use the "Pyramids" but ha knew they would do him no good, but they cured him of piles of 25 years' standing. I am free from piles today, and have been since using Pyramid Pile Cure. I was Captain In the Civil War." James Adams, Soldiers' Home, California. The majority of people labor under the impression that ari operation is necessary In severe cases of piles, or hemorrhoids, and are very skeptical re garding the remedial virtues of any medicinal compound. Testimony like the above should certainly have a ten dency to dispel this Impression, al though it is odd that such a fallacy should prevail, and still more odd that so many people should think an opera tion effects a permanent cure, whereas the contrary Is more often tho case. We advise all sufferers from this painful complaint to - buy a 50-cent package of Pyramid Pile Cure at any drug store and try It tonight. Those Interested cannot be too strongly urged to write Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall. Mich., for their littl book describing the causes and cure of piles,, as .It contains valuable informa tion, and I? sent free for the asking.
