Mr. Brumm was directing many of his remarks to Mr. Baer, who was sitting close to him.

There is general dlssat!sfacon with conditions among the employes ot the Manhattan Railroad Com. pany and It Is said a strike may occur at any moment that will stop traffic on all the elevated lines. It is understood that motormen, engineers, firemen, guards and "choppers" are interested in the move ment, but that the porters and office men, who have unions of their own, have not so far been invited to co-operate. A secret meeting of delegates of malcon tents was held Friday night and since then the order to turn out has been ex pected by the men. Some time ago the company was asked to make certain concessions, including a 10-hour day and a readjustment of the wage schedule, and a demand was also mads for an adequate supply of coal with which to heat the stations.

When these combinations eliminate free competition and thus deprive, the people ot protection against extortion, the power thus exenclsed becomes a menace to the public If there be no means of protection for the people against such oppressive exercise of power, except through governmental action, the peo ple, through their Government, are Justified In Invoking the law wherever and whenever such protection t being withheld from them by concentration of busl- ness enterprises, under a single management. We hold It to be Incumbent upon Congress, In the absence of other effective methods for regulating such combina tions, to enact legislation under which the Government .may control, or If neces sary, suppress, any combination or trust which, through arbitrary exercise of power and the destruction of competition, becomes oppressive to the people. We, your memorialists, therefore respectfully urge that Congress adopt the recom mendations of President Itooeevclt on trusts and enact effective legislation on this important subject. to rout.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Although Mr. Bowen and the other negotiators are clceely guarding, the provisions of the sev eral protocols.

Both Germany and Italy suggest that thin money be paid In monthly install ments out of the customs duties, but. even under this arrangement.

Until their protocols are relieved of these ob jectionable demands, Mr. Bowen says, .they must remain unsigned. He contends that Germany and Italy are insisting on preferentlt.1 treatment, a question which they agree In their protocols shall go to The Hague. It Is the firm opinion of both the Italian Ambassador -and the German Minister mat tne insertion in their protocols of these demands Is. the result of a serious misunderstanding on the part of their roreign unices or certain phases of the negotiations which were supposed to be settled- They are using every effort to nave ims misunderstanding cleared up and have informed Mr. Bowen that thev hope to submit their conventions to him in a tew days. Mr. Bowen has made It plain to the allies representatives that he Is willing iu raosiaer any reasonable requests they may advance, but that he will not yield to the extent of signing the present Ger man and Italian protocols. Published re ports that Germany Included In her pro tocol a 'demand for an apology from Pres ident Castro or his representative! are news to Mr. Bowen. and of course such demands would not he considered.

The doctor said she had anaemia, which, he said, meant-Aat her blood had turned to water. "The pain in her head- was so seVere that she was hardly; able to bear it; her stomach was so weak that she could 'eat nothing but soup. Her liver waa congested and torpid, her nerves all ur strung, and her complexion just like a dead person's. She grew -worse in spite of the doctor's care, and finally her hands and feet began to swell. "An advertisement In the papers led me to have her try Dr. TVllllams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and she began to feel better almost immediately upon taking them. She grew better every daj AVhen she had taken them two weeks she had gained eight pounds, and fourteen by the time she had taken five boxes. Her color has come back and she looks like her old self. She has gone to work again. "I feel very grateful for what Dr. "Wllllama Pink Pllla have dene for her, for I am sure they saved her life."
