DENY TOWN IS BAD I
Bremerton Indignant at Re
port of Corruption.
INVESTIGATION IS DEMANDED.
Axjerf That Orderly Condition Exists
Congressman Jon e Aks Seat
tle Chamber of Commerce
to Take Action.
SEATTLE, Dec 2L The Chamber of
Commerce today decided to appoint a
committee to Investigate the reported cor
ruption at Bremerton. The request for
an Investigation was made by a repre
sentative of-the Bremerton Board of
Trade -who repudiates the report and says
that the town Is not as Immoral as "Vallejo,
opposite tha Mare Island navy-yard In
California. I
A long1 letter was read from Congress
man Jones, IniyVhlch he recommended that
oteps be taken? by the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce to use its Influence to have
Bremerton correct any evil that might
offend the authorities of the Naval De
partment. At Bremerton the greatest Indignation ie
expressed over what is called a elur on
the town, when no corruption exists that
Is not apparent In any place of like size.
Mayor Croxton, ol Bremerton, said to
day that many of the citizens desire that
the saloons be kept open and that It would
be unwise to order a complete close-down
when the morale of the city does not -warrant
it. While admitting that there are
16 saloons in the city, he Is emphatic in
his statement that no disorder has been
reported, neither has any complaint been
made.
A meeting of the Council will probably
take place Friday, when the matter will
be discussed from every point of view. It
Is said at Bremerton that the Lieutenant
who made the investigation, as ordered
by Admiral Stirling, rendered the scandal
ous report because of a personal antag
onism to certain merchants of the town.

The question of what constitutes profits
Is to be determined entirely by the finance
committee, who, it is stated, -will nave no
interest in the profit-sharing plan. If $S0,
000,000 is earned in the coming year, $800,
000 will be set aside, one-half to be dis
tributed in cash quarterly, the other half
to be reserved until the end of the year

purchased to be divided one-half to em

BIG CLAIM FOR DAMAGES.
Workmen Say They Were Decoyed
to Coal TtesrionK.
NEW YORK, Dec 31. Suits have been
brought by 22 residents of this city, who
claim that during the recent eoal strike
they were decoyed to the mines In Penn.
sylvania by agents of the Erie Railroad
and of the Pennsylvania Coal Company.
Damages for $50,000 each, amounting to
$1,100,000 in all, are sued for, and the at
torney for the plaintiffs consulted, with
an attorney today about bringing the
matter before the grand jury to be sworn
in next Monday.
. The plaintiffs claim that, under pre
tense of doing work for the railroad and
coal company, they were decoyed to Ho
boken, where they were locked In a car
and carried against their will to the coal
regions of Pennsylvania and compelled to
act as "strike breakers," under throats
of "being turned over to the fury of the
miners." The men say they finally suc
ceeded In making their way back to the
city, but declare that on their way homo
they had narrow escapes from being
mobbed.
An official of the Erie road said that
no complaint had been served as yet on
the company. Ho added that the company
was without information as to the cause1
of action, that he was confident that the
Erie Company nnd its constituent com
pany, tho Pennnylvsnla Coal Company,
had done nothing unlawful, nnd that he
had no doubt the companies would be able
successfully to defend any suits that
might be brought against them.
"The company makes no misrepresenta
tions," said this official, "but It is always
extremely careful to explain to the men
the conditions and the circumstances un
der which they are employed."
WORK FOR UNIVERSITY MEN.
Wayne MncVcaRh Cnlln Attention to
Graduate of Conl Mine.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2L The coal strike
question was discussed by some of the
apeakers at the dinner given at Sherry s
last night to the delegate to the Univer
sity Conference. Jamea W. Alexander,
of Yale, 'GO, speaking on "The Universities
and Modern Business," suggested playfully
that each university should have its trust,
and, after assigning various combines la
the different universities, said:
"Somebody else can take John Mitchell
and the strikers. They are the biggest
trust of all."
This roused Wayne MacVeagh, Yale, '53,
who said, speaking on "The Universities
and Public Affairs":
"The university man must pay more
attention to a great question like the
coal trouble. An immense Industry had
drifted out of the hands of the men In
charge honest, well meaning men and
capable as you and I. But it had drifted
out of their hands, and the Nation was
face to face with a Winter without coal.
Then a graduate of a university did ap
pear and said, 'Coal must be mined,' and
he was the Chief Executive. Then an
other graduate appeared, of almost equal
authority, the financial leader, and he
said, 'Coal must be mined.' But the issue
was not entirely settled by either or both
of them. It depended not upon a univer
sity graduate, but on the graduate of a
coal mine, who said, 'If the arbitration
Is conceded for which I have been asking
for eight months, coal will be mined.'
Arbitration was granted and coal was
mined, but if one had been less persua
sive and another had not agreed, then the
mines would have been hermetically
sealed for the Winter. You must deal
not alono with the coal barons you must
deal with the men who mine the coal and
bring it to the surface. You must ad
minister the government with the Ideals
of civic virtue."
Mr. MacVeagh was followed by Presi
dent Eliot, of Harvard, who suggested
that each of the gentlemen preceding him
had slightly wandered from his subject,
referred pleasantly to Mr. MacVeagh's Im
petuosity and his discussion of the "stren
uous life." He then outlined the Ideal
strenuous life and led the discussion into
quiet channels. His subject wa9 the
'Universities and Learned Professions."
President Hadley, of Yale, was the first
speaker on the subject of "The American
Universities." He told how America was
working out its own university problems,
along Its own lines, saying: , "It is Im
possible to import ready-made an English
or German university system."
rsicholas Murray Butler, president of
Columbia, who was to preside, was kept
away by the continued Illness of his wife.
STRIKERS' RIGHT TO PICKET.
Cincinnati Jndjrc Upholds It. but
Makes Strict Limitations. '
CINCINNATI, O., Dec 3L Judge Ruf us
S. Smith, of the Superior Court, handed
down a decision today, in which he con-
eedes to striking workmen the right to
picket a factory when they are seeking to
accomplish a lawful purpose and do not
in any manner intimidate or coerce non
strikers. At the same time. Judge Smith
defines the rights of employers, and says
that, when It is necessary in their busi
ness to employ workmen, tho rlgjit to do
this is a property right, and, when in
terfered with unlawfully, the remedy is
by injunction.
The decision was written by Judge
Smith in the suit of the Eureka Foundry
Company against the striking coremakers,
and by its terms the strikers are perpet
ually enjoined from picketing the Eureka
foundry in large numbers. The strikers
are allowed to have one picket at the fac
tory, who may peacefully persuade work
men to leave their employment and ad
vance arguments to workmen If they
choose to hear such. If the workmen do
not care to meet the picket or listen to
his arguments, they are not to be molest
ed, and any attempt to influence their
minds by improper means will be a trans
gression of the rights of tho employer,
and may be corrected by injunction.

Britain Makes Same Reservation
Castro Tells a Gemma He Is the
One Xnsnltod, Not Germany.
BERLIN, Dec 31. Tho German govern
ment's reservations in agreeing to submit
the Venezuelan claims to arbitration con
tinue to br- undisclosed in their entirety.
From statements appearing today, how
ever. It seems to be confirmed that Ger
many excludes from the claims which are
subject to arbitration demands amounting
to $300,000 for seizure of property and out
rages on the persons of German subjects
under such circumstances which are
deemed so clear that it is useless to call
in arbitrators. The payment of this sum
will not be demanded in cash, at present,
but a sufficient guarantee of the payment
will be Insisted upon. Great Britain's
preferred claims aro equivalent in amount
to $300,000, henco the statements made
abroad that Germany is asking more than
Great Britain are Incorrect. Germany
waives an apology for what arc here called
"diplomatic insults," asking only material
reparation.
It is now stated that the German cruiser
Superber will sail for Venezuela January 6.
CASTRO HAS COUNTER-CLAIM.
Tells German Correspondent He
Wants Satisfaction for Insults.
BERLIN, Dec 3t The Lokal Anzeiger,
the only German newspaper having a
special correspondent at C&racas, prints a
dispatch from the Venezuelan capital
dated December 29, relating the correspon
dent's experience in Interviewing Presi
dent Castro. He found him at General
Alcanara'A estate .dancing at noonday.
General Alcanara, who was waiting with
a bundle of dispatches, remarked to the
correspondent that "It would not do to
interrupt tho President's pleasure, even
with state business." "But the correspon
dent says be spoke to the President be
tween dances, "and after a conversational
reconnoissance" Inquired If he Intended
to give the powers satisfaction.
"Why, no." replied the President. "I
am the one demanding satisfaction for
Insults."
At this remark," the correspondent con
tinues, "a Jady clapped him on the back
and said: 'That's the way to talk, old
boy.' "
CASTRO HAS ACCEPTED.
Dispatch on Arbitration Reaches
Washington to Be Forirardcd.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3L The answer
of President Castro to the proposals of
the allies to submit to the arbitration
of The Hague tribunal tho Venezuelan
difficulties has reached Washington
through Minister Bowen. The answer
amounts to a general acceptance of the
principles of the proposition, President
Castro being willing to submit his case
to the arbitration of fair and Impartial
authorities. The details of the answer
will not be published here in advance of
ita reception by tho European allies, and
in fact it may be withdrawn entirely
from publication on the ground that it
really belongs to those powers.
The answer is being prepared at the
Slate Department for transmission to
Europe. As it is quite long and un
doubtedly will require long and careful
consideration at London. Berlin and
Rome. It is not expected that any fur
ther steps toward a final settlement can
be reached for a day or two.
The feeling here, however, based on a
knowledge of Castro's position. Is that
his answer practically clears the way
for the submission of the case to arbi
tration. The answer has given great
satisfaction here.

Rebel Leader.
WILLEMSTAD. Island of Curacao, Dec
3L General Matos, the head of the revo
lutionary movement against President
Castro,, referring to Venezuelan difficul
ties with the'allled powers, said:
"The pending question has two objects
one Is the recovery of certain sums of
money owed by Venezuela, and the other
is that of claims for Injuries received by
foreign residents in the republic I see no
exceeding gravity in either of these two
matters, because every legitimate debt
must be paid and because the laws of the
republic and its treaties with foreign na
tions and, In special cases international
law, determine In every Instance the pro
ceedings under the circumstances to be
followed by civilized nations who desire to
uphold their honor and make their coun
try respected among the nations."

CARACAS, Dec 31. The report that the
German cruiser Falk is threatening to
bombard Maracaibo is untrue. In the first
place the cruiser cannot enter the Lake
of Maracaibo, and, as Maracaibo is 10
miles from the bar, it would be impossible
for the Falk to bombard it. In the sec
ond place, it Is asserted in Maracaibo that

wounded him. A strong force of police
waB sent on board the brig to arrest
Gardner, and it was with difficulty that
he was overpowered and taken to Jail.
The police were compelled to guard the

COAL IS UNDER CONTRACT
Excuse of Dealers for Xot Selling
Relief Comes From Inquiry.
CHICAGO, Dec 31. The Investigations
begun yesterday by Attorney-General
Hamlin and by the Aldermanlc committee
to determine the cause of the coal famine
In this city were merged today, when the
Aldermanlc subcommittee went Into con
ference with tho Attorney-General to the
end that they might work Intelligently to
gether. The Inquiry has not as yet
brought out evidence of a conspiracy be
tween dealers or on the part of the rail
roads, or of both, although somo of the
former have been shown to ha-e on hand
thousands of tons of coal. They, how-
over, claim that It Is for contracts already
made, and not their own. The Attorney
General says that If It can be shown the
coal is really not held for contracts, the
dealers can be prosecuted fbr withholding
it from the market.
Several railroad men declared their
roads were giving coal preference over
dead freight, and produced figures to show
that It was being disposed of as fast as
received.
As a result of the Inquiry, the situation
has already been relieved, according to
Attorney-General Hamlin, and. -conditions
are rapidly .becoming better.
"There Is more coal In the yards now
than there was 2i hours ago," said he,
after the last of tho railroad and coal men
had left. "In fact, relief is coming so
rapidly that I do not believe we shall be
forced to begin any proceedings against
the companies."
The railroad officials responded prompt
ly to -the invitation to appear before the
Attorney-General, whllo the coal dealers
appeared reluctant.

MAY SHED BLOOD FOR OIL
Clalm-JnmpcrM Are Out With Their
Winchesters in Wyoming.
SALT LAKE. Dec 3L A special to tho
Tribune from Evanston, Wyo., says:
The next few hours promise to bring to
Uinta County scenes of excitement never
before equaled In the history of Wyoming.
As the first day of the new year ap
proaches, plans aro being carried out to
gobble up every foot of oil land which has
not already been protected by tho required
assessment work.
Up to a fow days ago It was believed
that practically all the land would be
thus protected, but closer investigation
shows that at least one-third of tho oil
field, or an area of 800 square miles, will
be open for refiling nt 12:01 tomorrow
morning. It evidently being the intention
of the original locators to protect their
rights by the use of firearms If occasion
requires.
Evanston has been practically divested
of its male population and nearly all
places of business have been closed, and
men are being stationed throughout the
oil belt, ready to commence driving their
claim stakes at the dawn of the new year.
All are fully armed with Winchesters,
and ehotguns, and bloodshed may follow,
Sheriff James and several deputies will
attempt to quell any disturbance that may
arise In the vicinity of Spring Valley, but
It is believed' this small force of officers
will be unable to cope with the situa
tion.

When Sandow poses and the muscles
ridge his back and knot his arms, we
think we have before us the very secret
of strength in those magnificent muscles.
But we haven't. Starve Sandow, or,
what is practically the same thing, let
him be dyspeptic, and his muscle would
soon fail. Strength is made from food
properly digested and assimilated, and
no man is stronger than his stomach, be
cause when the stomach is diseased di
gestion and assimilation are imperfect.

"We not only cure "weakness"
promptly, but we employ the
only treatment that can possi

It Is broad. So-called "weak

Different doctors have different
Ideas In regard to cures. Some call
a suppression of symptoms a cure.
They dose for drug effects and claim
that nothing more can be donek But
the real ailment remains, and will
bring the symptoms back again, pet
haps the same as before, or perhaps
modified In some manner.
We claim that nothing less than
complete rradicntion of the disease
can be a real cure. We treat to re
move the disease and not merely the
symptoms. We search out every root
and flbr of an ailment, and we cure
to stny cured.
Urethral Obstruction
Our treatment of urethral obstruc
tion is entirely independent of surgery.
A complete cure is accomplished with
out cuttlwr or dilating. All growths
or obstructions in the passage are dis
solved, the membranes cleansed, and
all irritation or congestion removed.
Specific Blood Poison
We eure this leprous disease com
pletely. The system is thoroughly
cleansed and every poisonous taint re
moved. The last symptoms vanish to
appear no more, and all is accom-
E'.ished by the use of harmless and
lood-cleanslng remedies. Do not sub
mit to the dangerous mineral dosing
commonly Indulged in. Such treatment
merely obscures the symptoms.
VARICOCELE
Cured Without Catting
The time was when every
man afflicted with varicocele
had no choice other than to
ajlow the disease to go on un
dermininjf his health and pow
er, or submit to a surgical op
eration. Now he can choose a
thorough cure by painless treat
ment. We cure varicocele in the
shortest possible time, and it is
seldcm necessary that the pa
tient be detained from business
even a single day. Our method
is original with ourselves, arid Is
the only safe and successful
treatment ever devised.
