Says Morlcy's Indian Policy Is as
Bad as Brodcrick's.
LONDON, March 1. Lord Curzon of
Keddlcston, ex-Viceroy of India, has
written a long letter to the Times, ex
pressing his strong disapproval of the
decision of John Morley, Secretary for
India, in the matter of supremacy of
military over civil authority in India.
Lord Curzon contends that Mr. Morley
only overruled the military party on a
smell and relatively unimportant Issue
and that Mr. Morlcy's solution Is sub
stantially the same as that of Mr. Bro
donck, ex-Secretary for India, in pro
test against which Lord Curzon re
signed, and that it "creates a military
autocracy and irresponsibility of the
military element in India which may
lead to fatal results."

CHICAGO. Feb. 2S. E. D. Durand. spe
cial agent for the Government, was on the
stand all day in the hearing of the pack
ers pleas for immunity, and will continue
his evidence tomorrow. He contradicted
tho evidence given by witnesses for the
packers in several instances, the most
notable being where he flatly denied the
statement made by Arthur Meeker, gen

ing the investigation by Commissioner
Garfield under oath, and that Mr. Veeder
replied that he would do nothing of the
kind, for the reason that it might destroy
the chance of immunity for the packers.
JudRC Says "Hurry Up.'
Late in the day. Judge Humphrey, who
had declared soon after court opened that
he could not admit as evidence letters
that passed between Mr. Durand and Mr.
Garfield during the investigation, altered
his decision and admitted the letters.
The court urged the attorneys to Hvolicr
efforts In the conduct of the case, and
expressed the hope that "this case will
not last until eternity."
After he had Identified a large mass of
correspondence, Mr. Durand was asked
concerning his correspondence with Mr.
Meeker, and answered:
What 3Icckcr Told Durand.
Mr. Meeker raid that the packers were suf
fering from attacks In the papem. juid that
the publication of the report of the bureau
would dispel this. Mr. Garfield and mynelf
were aked by Mr. Meeker If any evidence of
a combination had been discovered. Mr. Gar
field replied that evidence had come, to our
notice tending to show that there was a com
bination. Mr. Meeker replied that at thla time

oath that there waa no cemblntaJon among

a public hearing, becauftc of the scntutloaa!
reports which might remit.
' Armour -Made Suggestion.
Mr. Durand then detailed a conversa

if the reDort would cover the matter of

French Chamber Adopts Plan to
Shorten Term or Service.
PARIS. Feb. 2S. The debate upon the
war budget in the Chamber of Deputies
today brought out the discussion of mo
tions to reduce the duration of annual
service of the first reserve and the terri
torial reserve. War Minister Etlenne
strongly opposed the proposition, saying
that the defensive strength of the army
depended upon the reserves. Germany, he
pointed out, required HO days annual
service, for the reserves.
Tlie various motions for reducing the
period of service were defeated.
The Chamber of Deputies later adopted
by a vote of 3M to 174 a further motion
emanating from the army committee pro
viding for the reduction of the annual
period of service for first reservists from
25 to IS days, and for territoriallsts from
32 to six days.
This proposition must be accepted by
the Senate before it becomes a law. and
that body has already voted in favor of
maintaining the present periods of re

Hood's Sarsaparilla
Has cured so many cases that seemed almost beyond the
reach of medicine, that people ask, Why?
An examination of our well-known formula from which
Hood's Sarsaparilla is and always has been carefully and
scientifically prepared, confirms the fact that it contains
those well-known and valuable medicinal ingredients, which,
when intelligently combined and properly administered,
are sure to bring about good results.
It is the properly balanced proportion, combination
and process in combining those ingredients known to
have specific action upon the blood, stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels, which make Hood's Sarsaparilla peculiar to
itself and enable it to produce results tmequaled by any
similar medicine. It cures when others fail. Give it a trial.
