RESIGNS BECAUSE
HE IS FOUND OUT
Secret of History of Ministry
of M. Delcasse Is
Revealed. '
GERMANY STOPS ALLIANCE
Kaiser Learns French Minister Is
Carrying on Negotiations Willi
England and Threatens to
March Troops Into Lorraine.
PARIS, Jan. 27. The Action, a So
cialist organ, today publishes a state
ment that M. Delcasse, the former
French Minister of Foreign Affairs, re
signed office because the German Em
peror discovered that he was secretly
negotiating an offensive and defensive
alliance with Great Britain. When
Emperor William learned of the treaty,
according to this newspaper, he told
the Italian Ambassador at Berlin that'
on the day it was signed he would
march troops into Lorraine. This
threat reached France, whereupon -M.
Rouvler. who was then Premier, ac
cused M. Delcasse of carrying on secret
negotiations. M. Delcasse admitted that
this was true, and at the request of
his conferee, lie resigned.
. Delcasse Called Criminal.
The Patrie, supplementing the al
leged revelation In the Action, says
that only M. Delcasse and M. Loubet,
who was then President of France,
were aware of the Anglo-French nego
tiations. When M. Rouvier took M.
Delcasse to task at the famous Cabinet
meeting of June 6, 1905, for keeping
his colleagues In ignorance of these ne
gotiations, and demanded his resigna
tion within half an hour, he used, ac
cording to the Patrie, the following
words:
"Tour attitude is criminal; you de
serve to be stood up against a wall and
shot."
Throws Over Former Policy.
The Kclaire contributes a chapter of
this alleged secret history. It alleges
that M. Delcasse threw over the entire
policy of M. Hanotaux, ex-Mlnister of
Foreign Affairs, for the purpose of
playing England's game. After the
Battle of Colenso, during the Boer War,
Russia proposed a mutual understand
ing that should make easier France's
course in Morocco and Russia's pro
jected p'ans in Egypt. This M. Delcasse
refused", however, and notified Great
Britain of Russia's action. The final
result, the Eclalre concludes, was an
entente by which Great Britain traded
something she did not possess In Mo
rocco for France's interests In Egypt.
DELCASSE
NOT
DISCUSSED
French Chamber of Deputies Con
siders Foreign Policy.
PARIS. Jan. 27. None of the sensa
tional surprises anticipated hi connection
with the Moroccan debate in' the Cham
ber of Deputies today occurred. M.
Plchon. Minister of Foreign Affairs,
speaking for the Government, shwed
plainly that the cabinet, without ignor
ing, prefers not to discuss the Delcasse
Incident, which aroused such a storm of
vituperation beyond the Rhine and' such
high praise across the channel. He went
no further than to register an energetic
protest against the idea that the restora
tion of France's prestige was due to the
ex-Minister.
"The foreign policy of France," he
said, "Is not the work of one man, one
party or one government. France, haa
recovered her place, lost in the catas
trophe of 1871. as the result of 37 years
of republican effort. Our policy was not
directed against any one or to isolate
any one; it was conceived solely In the
interest of peace of the world."
M. Plchon' s strongest words In con
nection with Morocco were received with
cheers on all sides.
"France, on account of Algeria, could
never permit the Internationalization of
Morocco."
The reception of M. Fiction's speech
makes it manifest that the Chamber of
Deputies will support the Government
against both extremes M. Jaures, who
wants to abandon, and M. Delcasse, who
wants to conquer. Morocco.

NEW YORK. Jan. 27. Liquidation of
the National Bank of North America was

Bank Kxaminer of this district, wlio was
appointed receiver yesterday, was in con
ference today with Controller Ridgely,'

opinion was expressed that the bank's de

Decision of Supreme Court Affecting
Interstate Commerce, Railroads
and Members of Labor Unions.
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. The constitu
tionality of the act of Congress of June 1,
1S9S. prohibiting railroad companies en
gaged in interstate commerce from dis
criminating against members of labor or
ganizations in the matter of employment
was called into question by the case of
William Adair vs. the United States,
which was decided by the Supreme Court
of the United States today favorable to
Adair. The opinion was by Justice Har
lan, and held the law to be repugnant to
the Constitution.
The court held that Adair as master
mechanic of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad Company, had a right to dis
charge an employe because he was a
member of a labor 'organization just
as it was the employe's right to quit
such employment because of his mem
bership in such organizations. Such a
course, the decision added, might be
unwise, but, regarded as ay mere mat
ter of right there could TSe no doubt.
Congress could not under the Constitu
tion authorize a violation of contracts
under the guise of protecting interstate
commerce.
Justice McKenna delivered a dissenting
opinion favorable to the law, in which
he said the court's decision is along very
narrow lines.
Justice Holmes also expressed the opin
ion that the law should be -construed as
constitutional. He thought that the right
to make contracts had been stretched to
the limit by the court's decision In this
case. That congress nad a ngnt so to
legislate as to encourage labor organiza
tions was another suggestion of Justice
Holmes.
ALL FAULT OF MINEOWNERS
W. D. Haywood Discusses Mining
Troubles.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 27. President
Mitchell announced to the convention
of the United Mineworkers of --merica
today that he did not desire to hold any
office in the organization after his re
tirement as president on April 1. This
will stop a movement to have him placed
at the head of an advisory board. He
asked that his friends give their loyal
and undivided support to his successor.
"While I have been president I have
been president in fact as well as In name
and my successor has the same oppor
tunity to carry out his policies."
W. D. Haywood, secretary-treasurer of
the Western Federation of Miners, ad
dressed the convention. He referred feel
ingly to the appreciation and the feeling
of Mover. Pettibone and himself, to the
labor element of the country which had
contributed $300,000 to their defense.
. Haywood attributed all of the
strikes and troubles in the Western
lead, coal and gold mines to the oper
ators, owing to their failure to keep
contracts with the miners. He charged
the operators with the destruction of
property by the use of explosives, in
order to prejudice public opinion and
lay the biame on the miners. He
painted graphic pictures of the "bull
pens," established by state and mili
tary authorities, which he said have
been subservient to the operators.
"Colorado." said he, "is as mean1 as
all the other states boiled down. Cor
porations control the courts there," de
bauch the Legislature, and run the
elections to suit themselves."
Mr. Haywood pleaded for a closer
relationship between the Western
Federation of Miners and the Mine
workers of America. He asked not
only for the financial support -of the
United Mineworkers, but for their mor
al support as well.
Mr. Mitchell addressed the conven
tion when Mr. Haywood closed.
Mr. Mitchell declared himself to
be .opposed to sympathetic strikes.
"I have watched labor troubles and
conditions as closely as any man," he
said, "and I have not seen any benefit
accrue from sympathetic strikes.
Should the Western Federation of Min
ers ask us to go on strike to aid .their
strike, wo would ask naturally, 'What
will we get out of it? What good will
accrue to us?' I do not see that it
would do us any good to have the
metallferous miners on a strike if we
coal miners were out on a strike. Coal
can be mined when gold miners are not
working, but gold cannot be mined if
there Is no coal."
Mr. Mitchell admitted that in ex
treme cases sympathetic strikes would
very materially assist in' the accom
plishment of labor purposes, and In
such eases he would advocate it. He
thought closer relationship should ex
ist between the Mineworkers and the
Western Federatiion of Miners, and
suggested a commission to delne what
these relations should be. MW Mitchell
urged the miners to continue the-con-traet
system.
D. A. Sullivan, secretary-treasurer
of the Ohio miners, and Alex Howatt,
president of the Kansas miners, were
elected delegates to the International
Mining Congress, which meets at Paris.
Savings Bank Closed by Run.
LONG BEACH. Cal.,' Jan. 27. The Citi
zens' Savings Bank, of this city, today
announced its suspension. About three
months ago the bank took advantage of
the 90-dar requirement rule for deposit
ors, and Mnce the expiration of that
time, it is understood, the withdrawals
have been greater than the bank has
been able to meet.
CURE FOR PANICS
Fowler Argues for Currency
Bill in House.
LAUDS MORGAN AS PATRIOT
Compares Him to Gibraltar Guard
Ins Against Financial Cataclysm.
Opposes Bond-Secured Notes
and Central Bank.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. The finan
cial question was- discussed in the
House today by Fowler, chairman
of tlje committee on banking and cur
rency, in an exhaustive speech in
which he opposed bond-secured cur
rency and the proposition looking to
the establishment of a central bank.
He used for hi text the bill Intro
duced by him early In the present
month .providing, among other things,
for bank redemption districts, which,
he argued, would meet National emer-"
gencies.
Fowler declared the United States
had the worst financial and currency
process in the world. Instead of, the
best.
"What Is the acute-question?" he In
quired. "Is It a bond-secured cur
rency? If that were a wise and proper
form of currency," he asked, "why has
not some nation adopted It by this
time? Japan tried it over night, but
quickly gave It up."
Denounces Subtreasurles. .
Fowler favored coining reserves out
of gold. United States notes,- he said,
were "mere promises to pay, a mere
piece of fiat issued during ' the war.
They had never been retired because
neither the Republicans nor the Demo
crats ever had the political courage to
do their duty.
The subtreasury system of the Gov
ernment was attacked by Fowler as a
curse to trade and commerce. "It is a
source of suspicion," he declared, "a
source of hatred, a source of sectional
rivalry," He said he' knew nothing
that so constantly aroused sectional
feeling as this distribution of money
in times of stress. United States
money, he said, had been a disturbing
factor In the commerce of the world,
and he maintained that a remedy for
this evil could be supplied by the
Government by depositing its money In
the ?ank every day by check and draft,
and by drawing It out by check and
draft, just like any other businessln
stitutinn. Morgan a Hercules of Finance.
Referring to the action of J. P.
Morgan in coming to the rescue of the
money market recently. Fowler assert
ed that an Individual banking system
cannot stand alone, because every, seri
ous rumor causes runs and the banks
know they cannot survive. These
banks, he said, should be co-ordinated
and brought into one harmonious
whole. It was high time, he said, that
depositors knew what was in the
bowels of the banks when they placed
their money in.
He referred to Mr. Morgan as a
"giant of giants, a HercubBs of finance,
a banker-statesman, a banker-patriot,
who had stood like a Gibraltar, pro
tecting the nineteen billions of reserves
of our banks, protecting the occupa
tions of 25,000,000 of men and women,
protecting the National welfare against
the consequences of a more destructive,
terrific, tragic and. appalling cataclysm
than has ever swept over the commerce
of any couitry."
Time for Sound Currency.
The time was ripe, he said, and the
opportunity was at hand to eliminate
every one of these weaknesses and
build a scientific, sound and wise cur
rency system. It could be done with
in two or three months.
Fowler expressed his opposition to
the establishment of a central bank,
giving as one of his reasons that the
United States was too partisan and
that its institutions were not suited
for such a bank.
Fowler was bombarded with ques
tions regarding the details of his bill.
He declared that, should It pass, it
would raise the bank and trust com
pany reserves by J600.000.000, and he
said that amount of gold taken from
the pockets of the people, the corn and
wheat fields, would be replaced by the
credit notes of the banks.
SEVERAL PROVISIONS ADDED
Aldrich Bill Waiting: for Data From
Treasury Department.
WASHINGTON, Jail. . 27. The com
pleted text of the Aldrich financial bill,
which will be submitted to the full
committee after a meeting has been
held to go over the" data from the
Treasury Department, will contain the
amendments that have been tentative!:
agreed to at the various meetings of
the committee on finance. There will
also be a series of small provisions
added to the bill, which have been de
vised to make it work smoothly as an
emergency measure.
It will be made mandatory upon the
Secretary of the Treasury to make and
keep on hand a supply of notes which
can quickly be .issued upon call. The
Secretary of the Treasury will be re
quired to proceed immediately upon the
law's taking effect to gather data con
cerning the class of securities provid
ed in the measure. The bonds of every
city in the country will be inspected
and their worth stated in Treasury re-,
ports, as will be done with any se
curities that are at any time liable to
come within the workings of any emer
gency currency law. It has been set
tled that the distribution of currency
will be by states instead of districts,
as formerly proposed.
y The Democratic members of the
finance committee will prepare their
substitute for the Aldrich bill as soon
as the data arrive from the Treasury
Department. The proposition of Sen
ator Baijey that the Government make
emergency deposits in designated de
positories will probably be the main
features of the bill.
NEW CURRENCY BILL FRAMED
Bears Approval of American Bank
ers' Association Committee.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 27. A currency
bill was introduced in the Senate to
day by Senator Hopkins and in the
House by James McKinney, of Illinois,
which bears the indorsement of the
currency commission appointed by" the
American Bankers' sfeociation.
The bill is the result of the hearing
and subsequent deliberations of the
commission appointed .two years ago.
The text of the bill was made public
in Chicago January 19 last. The com- j
mission is composed of 15 of the most
prominent bankers of the United
States Irom all sections of tne country.
Mr. McKinney -said that It --gives
greater elasticity in the Issue, and re-
demption of National bank guaran
teed credit notes over that granted to
National banks at the present time.. It
is claimed that If the bill had been a
law at the present time it would have
given to the country $336,300,000 to
meet the recent crisis.
Favors Guaranteed Credit Notes.
CHICAGO. Jan. 27. Professor J. Lau
rence Laughlin, head of the department
of economics at the University of Chicago
and one of the highest authorities on
finance in the United States, believes that
the guaranteed credit ' note measure
brought out a week ago by the American
Bankers' Association Commission should
become a law.
Professor Laughlin emphasizes three
important points by which he could rec
ommend the plan the most strongly. They
are:
First The bill provides for note issues
that will be absolutely safe.
Second The measure offers absolute
protection against Inflation.
Third It would provide an elastic cur
rency for the actual needs of business.
Thug Game to the End.
SEATTLE Wash., Jan. 27. In a duel
with pistols and after a desperate hand-to-hand
struggle, Charles Negabon was
shot and killed early this morning by Po
liceman William Donbon. Negabon was
caught entering a store In a suburb. He
Immediately drew a pistol and began
pulling the trigger, but the cartridges
failed to explode. Policeman Donbon
emptied his revolver at the .robber, two
bullets taking effect, one in the abdo
men and the other in the leg. Negabon
fought like a demon even after he had
been shot in the stomach and the police
man had to beat him over the head with
his revolver before he could subdue him.
POLICE BILL IS PASSED
NEVADA HOUSE ACTS WHEN
MINEOWNERS YIELD.
Abolition of Card System Exacted
i
as Condition of Protection
of Law.
CARSON. Nev., Jan. 27. The Nevada
Legislature has passed the police bill,
giving this state a measure that pro
vides for a system of policing in time of
riots which it is believed will quell all
trouble in the Goldfield section at the
present time and place the state In po
sition to handle any future contingencies
that may arise.
Several members who were devout
union men have made a fight in opposi
tion to the bill, while the conservative
members have (hade a forcible Issue and
have won the law. Speaker Skaggs, who
has been taking a most active part for
the union men. left his chair and voted.
Skaggs denounced the measure as per
nicious and czar-like and predicated the
men who voted for it were digging their
political graves. All amendments were
lost and the bill went through as It came
from the Senate.
Assemblyman Williams stated from the
floor that he was a member of the West
ern Federation of Miners, but that he
favored the bill as a measure that does
not injure any man.
When Assemblyman Bray stated that
he believed in' peace, a forced peace if
necessary, and that the stars and stripes
should wave over the flag of anarchy,
at the sanre moment waving the Ameri
can flag, the entire Assembly rose and
clieered the speaker and the flag.
-The .bill was then put to a vote, with
SI in the affirmative and 7 in the nega
tive. A resolution will be sent to the
President asking him to keep the troops
in Goldfieldauntil such time as the state
can organize her forces under the bill.
Another bill will be Introduced endea
voring to unseat several officials of the
Goldfield district, who are said to have
violated their trust. It is believed with
the present showing that this can be
done.
An arbitration bill is framed and will
be presented, probably tomorrow. While
several measures regarding state im
provements are to go to the lawmakers,
it is believed that the session will close
Its work Saturday night.
From Goldfield the necessary word has
been, received by the Governor announc
ing that the mineowners would withdraw
their card system and the other objec
tionable features, such as signing agree
ments withdrawing from the Western
Federation of Miners. The members of
the Lower House who have forced this
Issue have been given the assurance and
the telegram to the Governor was read
from the floor this afternoon.
RESULT IN RESUMING WORK
Miners Do Not Have to Forswear the
Federation to Get Job.
GOLDFIELD, Nev., Jan. 27 The ac
tion of the Mineowners' Association in
withdrawing the card system by which
members of the W -tern Federation of
Miners were required to renounce alle
giance to that organization as a price
of employment In this district, will re
sult, it is believed, in the early resump
tion of work throughout the district. The
Western Federation is not likely to
put any serious obstacle in the way of
its members returning to work as long
as they are not required to sign the
obnoxious agreement.

TREMENDOUS POPULARITY OF
SIMPLE PRESCRIPTION.
iSo Sufferer From Kidney Trouble or
Rheumatism Should Leave
It Untried.
' That the readers of this paper ap
preciate advice when given in good
faith is plainly demonstrated by the
fact that one well-known localphar
macy supplie'd the Ingredients for the
"vegetable prescription" many times
within the past two weeks. The. an
nouncement of this simple, harmless
mixture has certainly accomplished
much in reducing the great many cases
of kidney complaint and rheumatism
here, relieving pain and misery, espe
cially among the older population, who
are always suffering more or less with
bladder and urinary troubles, back
ache and partioule.rly rheumatism.
Another well-known druggist asks
us to continue the announcement of
the prescription. It is doing so much
real good here, he continues, that It
would be a crime not to do so. It can
not be repealed too often, and further
states many cases of remarkable cures
wrought. .
The following Is the prescription of
simple ingredients, making a harmless,
inexpensive compound, which any per
son can prepare -by shaking well in a
bottle: Fluid Extract -Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla,
three ounces. Any first-class drugstore
will sell this small amount of each in
gredient, and the dose for adults is one
teaspoonful to be taken after each
meal and again at bedtime. There is
enough here to last for one week. If

A GREAT ARTIST
Mme. Carreno ie still the undisputed queen of the pianoforte, but
her sway Is exercised more tenderly "than of yore; She used to dazzle
and astonish, but now she charms and delights. Not that she cannot
play as brilliantly as ever, when she chooses, but time has given a mel
lowness to her style which in old days it lacked. She has never. played
better than at her recital on Saturday, and It was curious that her chief
triumphs were won, not in music of the showy kind. In which she used
to excel, but In the classics pure and undefiled. Her performance of
Mozart's Fantasie iln C minor was most impressive in its rich sobriety
of expression, and the subtlety and delicacy with which she played
Beethoven's Sonata In E flat. Op. 31, was altogether beyond praise.

avenues of bodily waste have failed to carry off. This -waste or refuse matter
ferments and sours and generates uric acid which is absorbed into the blood
and distributed to all parts of the body, and Rheumatism, with its torturing
pains and aches, inflammation and other disagreeable symptoms, gets pos
session of the system. The aches and pains may be relieved and the inflam
mation temporarily reduced by the application of a good plaster, penetrating
liniment or some other simple home remedy, but the disease can never bo
cured while the blood remains saturated with the irritating, pain-producing
uric acid poison. The cause should be driven from the blood before the
trouble reaches the chronic or helpless stage. S. S. S., a purely vegeteble
remedy, cures Rheumatism by thoroughly cleansing the blood of every
particle of the uric acid poison, and making this vital fluid pure, fresh and
health-sustaining. It filters out from, the circulation the remotest particle
of the poison, and when S. S. S. has renovated the blood, Rheumatism is
thoroughly and permanently cured. Book on Rheumatism and anv medical
advice free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
