POSTAL BANK BILL WINS Special Rule Adopted Limiting De bate to Eight Hours and Cutting Off Possibility of Amendment. House in .Uproar. WASHINGTON, June 8. With the Democrats attacking the Republicans, denouncing the insurgents for alleged Insincerity and assailing the "regulars" for bringing in "gag rule" to further a party measure, and the Republican leaders retaliating by charging the Democrats with similar performance when they were in power, a special rule was adopted in the House yesterday which placed the postal savings bank bill on its way to final passage with the debate limited to eight hours and ail possibility of amendment cut off. The rule was brought in . by Repre sentative Dalzell, chairmalji of the rules committee, immediately after the railroad bill had been sent to confer ence. The debate on the question was limited to one hour and each side oc cupied Its full share by heaving verbal brickbats at the other. The vote was 160 to 1S9, all but 10 "insurgents" hav ing voted with their party for the Adoption of the rule. Insurgents Vote "No." The 10 insurgents who voted against 'the rule were Cary, Cooper, Nelson and .Lenroot, of Wisconsin; Davis and Lid fcergh, of Minnesota, G-ronna of North Dakota, Hubbard, of Iowa; Norris, of Nebraska, and Poindexter, of Wash ington. ' The rule provided for the immediate consideration of the bill, the limiting of the debate to eight hours, the pro lb Ibition of all amendments and the allowance of the offering of one sub 1 etltute and a motion to recommit. The denunciation of the "Insurgents" i was particularly vigorous on the part of Representative Fitzgerald, of New jXork. who charged them with lnsln 'cerity in regard to reformation of the IHouse rules. Amid Democratic applause he cried: : "It seems now that the real protest jef the Insurgents was against 'gag rule' in their caucus and having ob tained greater liberality there they are (perfectly willing to apply the 'gag 'rule' In this House." Minority Leader Attacks. Representative Clark, the minority leader, also vigorously attacked the special rule. Representative Dalzell defended- the rules. He explained that the pending bill was a Republican measure that bad been carefully considered In a caucus where there was free and full expression of opinion and ample op portunity to amend and for that rea son it was not deemed proper to sub ject it to Democratic amendment. The Democrats, he said, under Its terms, were given an opportunity to offer a Democratic postal savings bank bill as a substitute. Representative Boutelle, of Illinois, replied to the Democratic criticism of the course taken by reminding the mi nority of the tactics they had employed In passing the Wilson tariff bill in "Then," he said, waving his hands towards the minority side, "you came In here dragging 600 amendments to the tariff bill and proceeded to pass them all in two hours without even reading a single amendment." The bill will be taken up again at 11 A. M-, Thursday, in order that the House may vote on the measure at 6 o'clock on the evening of that day. ronly women among them, to find that she has suddenly developed a taste for aviation. The success of her cousin, Cecil Grace,, son of the late J. W. Grace, of New York, who made a daring flight over the warships at Sheerness a day or two ago, has fired the CounteBs with an ambition to become a flier and against her father's and her husband's protestations she has expressed her determination to accompany her cousin on his next aerial voyage. Hitherto the Countess' activities have consisted in opening bazaars or ganized in the interests of philan thropy and distributing charity pri vately in her own quiet way. She has carefuny avoided anything that would have a tendency to identify her with any of the vices of the smart set, 'With the result that she is looked upon more as a prude than a woman of fashion. She discountenances late hours, the playing of bridge for high stakes, the tendency towards masculinity in wo man's dress, the patronage of women's clubs and above all gambling and horse racing. Now that she proposes to have a gamble on her own life society folk are amused. - IS COMMANDER OF GUNBOAT ANSWERS DEFY IN KIND. CHARGES MADE IN SENATE y Cuilom Resents Voters Memorial Against Lorlmer. WASHINGTON, June 8. Formal charges against Senator William Lori xner of Illinois were laid before the Senate this afternoon by his colleague, Senator Cuilom. The proceeding was the presentation of a memorial by Clif ford W. Barnes, of Chicago, president of the Illinois Legislative Voters' League, embodying the charges of bribery of members of the Illinois Leg islature. The memorial was read only In part and was referred without com ment to the committee on privileges and elections. Many members of the Senate say that even with the submission of the confes sion of White and the indictments against Brown the Senate still lacks definite charges connecting Lorimer with the paying of bribes. It is generally believed, however, that , the papers filed will cause the Senate committee on privileges and elections to take the steps looking to a thorough investigation. MRS. J. S.

It has come as a shock to a number of so ciety people here who have grown ac customed to regard the Countess of Donoughmore as one of the most mat- American Warship's Guns Will Be Leveled If Single Shot Is Fired at Stars and Stripes. BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua, June 8. "At the first shot fired -against the American flag - or an American vessel I will level the bluff. This is the reply made yesterday by Commander Harold Hines. commanding the American gunboat Dubuque, to a threat made by General RJvas of the Madriz forces holding Bluefields bluff, to stop any vessel entering the harbor. General Rivas practically defied the United States, declaring that he would disregard the proclamation Issued from Washington on May 31 to the effect that the United States Government denied the right of either faction to seize American-owned vessels or property without consent of any recompense to the owners. He warned Commander Hines that he would prevent by force, regardless of flag, any vessels from entering the har bor in the future. In response to this, the American Commander immediately sent to him the above message, which would mean the annihilation of the hand ful of Madriz troops now remaining in this neighborhood. A critical situation has thus arisen which may involve the United States, but the American officers here are of the opinion that General Rivas will not attempt to make good his threat in an effort to collect custom duties. There are constant rumors of threats against tho life of Thomas P. Moffatt, the American consul here. ROBBERS MAKE RICH HAULS Four Residences on West Side Are Raided $1100 In Valuables Gone.

ANGRY HUSBAND SHOOTS Finding Wife In Man's Arms, He Draws His Revolver. Residents in the vicinity of 112 Knott street reported to the police at mid night of hearing three shots, fired in rapid succession, in the home of Joseph Sanduskl, whose home is at the above number. A subsequent investigation by the police brought out the fact that Sanduski returned home a few moments before the shooting only to find his wife in the arms of another man whom he had previously forbidden on his premises. In order to invoke his au thority about the place and at the same time scare the uninvited guest, the husband shot three shots from his re volver at the fleeing form of the un welcome guest. No arrests were made. LEAVITT'S SPEED RAPID Witness Testifies Auto Went "Like Lightning" When It Killed Man.' SEATTLE, Wash., June 8.

A Book for ME R O U S F EOF U7 Free on Request It Has Shown Many Sufferers the Way to Health and Happiness Nervous breakdown may be the first sign of paralysis or some other severe nervous disorder. A tonic for the nerves is-the one remedy for neurasthenic conditions and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a nerve tonic as. well as a specific for conditions that lead to several forms of paralysis. ' They are, therefore, of unusual value in cases of extreme nervousness in which there is reason to believe that the trouble may progress until a disease develops that is generally regarded as incurable. It is hot necessary to accept as final the statement of anyone that a case ,of locomotor ataxia or partial pa ralysis is hopeless. The progress of ataxia has been arrested in hundreds of cases and the patient given many cf ; , : ' years of useful activity. Paralysis may be El failure of the nerves, to do their work properly or to some temporary or permanent damage to their structure. A the nerve receive from the blood all of their nourishment to keep np their energy and to repair their waste or damage, the importance of pure, red blood to ' the health of the nerves is seen at onoe. The nerves, lite all other tissues of the body, use their stored np energy when at work and become exhausted if overworked. The blood, when healthy, replaces these wastes and keeps the nerves strong and welL If, however, the ' blood ia impure, as it frequently becomes through overwork, worry, poor digestion and many other causes, the nerves fail to receive their, full supply of nourishment and break down or disease results. This, briefly stated, is the cause of most nervous disorders. ' The tonio treatment with Dr. Williams Pins: Fills marks a distinct advance jn the treatment of nervous disorders. It succeeds where others fail because it is based on " the sound medical principle that the health of the nerves depends upon pure, red blood. ' By buil'iing up and purifying the blood. Dr. Wil liams Fink Pills supply the nerves with the Vital elements they need. The remedy has performed so many remarkable cures that no nervous sufferer can neglect its use with j ustice io himself. Locomotor Ataxia, . This is a disease of the spinal cord and first' bows itself in an inability to walk or even I stand eroot when the eyes are- closed, or in the dark. It is characterized by peculiar disturb-y ances of gait and difficulty ia governing the motions of the legs. Pain is generally the first symptom to be noticed and may be present for months before the disease is recognized. The pains are sharp and shooting, lightning-like, and, while they may be frequent for a period ! of several days, do not last for any length of time. : Patients are much affected by the con dition of the atmosphere for the pains are generally worse during cold weather, before electrical storms or when the humidity is high. ' It is better, therefore, for the patient to live in a warm, dry climate than a- cold, damp one. One of the commonest and early signs is a tired feeling, particularly noted in the knees and ankles. This sensation is provoked by slight exertion, and is not remedied by rest. . Often a numb feeling is associated with it, and these two symptoms are always present in the early stages. Later developments are the increase in duration and extent of the numb. , feelings, covering at times the foot alone, then extending up the leg. As the dis ease is of alow growth, some cases covering a period of ten years, the increase in the intensity of the symptoms is not noticed, but its progress is constant and gradually approaches a total lack of feeling in the legs, causing a wobbling in the gait and the entire inability to govern the steps. As it grows the patient loses all control over the bowels and water. A further symp tom Is the sensation of the pressure like a cord entirely of a functional character and there are many well authenticated cures Thought She Would Never Get Well The value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cases of severe nerv ous trouble is convincingly shown by the cure of ilrs. H. (iaudreau, of No. 8o7 est Thirty-sixth Place, Los Angeles, Cal. She says: "Vhen I was fourteen years old, I had a severe attack of diphtheria which left me weak and numb all over. I was per fectly helpless in bed for three months. I couldn't use my arms or lesrs. L was numb all over and had no feeling at all. "The doctors told my mother that I was suffering .from par alysis and that they thought I would never get well. They did not help me, and as my mother had often read about Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills she decided to have me buy them. I hadn't taken manv boxes before I could see that the pills were helping me a lot. Ia six or eight weeks time I could sit up in bed and could use my arms a little. I used them all I could and as I grew stronger all of the time, I got full use of them. I was longer in learning to walk, but finally was able to do this too. I use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills until completely cured and have had no signs of the trouble returning." - Attending Physician Feared Paralysis Mrs. W. H.' Gerlaeh,- of University Place, Station No. 5, Tacoma, Wash., says: "I became greatly run down through worry and overwork in earing for my husband, who had been- very seriously injured in an accident and soon I began to notice a numb, creeping-like sensation in my hands and feet. These spells lasted for about five minutes or so at first, but gradually lasted longer until I would feel them for a whole day. My hands and feet became colorless and dead like. There was no feeling in them and I could hardly write or do any work with them. The numbness was worse during damp weather or when I was extra tired. "I was under a doctor's care for over a year, and, when the ' numbness begau, he said I was in danger of paralysis. - He treated me with electricity for several weeks, but he did not help me. Then I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, as I happened to read of a case like mine, which they had cured.- I gave them a thorough trial and found they were helping me, for I grew stronger in every way. The numbness finally left me and I was entirely cured. I have been strong and well since and am able to do my work."

Defendant Asks for More Time, but Judge Insists State Has Wait ed Long. Enough. SEATTLE, Wash., June 7. 6pecial.) Ralph J. Leavitt. of Los .Angeles, lost his final plea for a continuance of the trial on the information charg ing him with manslaughter, before Judge Mitchell Gilliam in the Superior Court this morning, and the case was sent to trial. Public prejudice against automobile scorchers interfered greatly in the se lection of the Jury, and almost the entire day was consumed. One tales man. E. S- Keene, was excused when he said in reply to a question of .his prejudice against scorchers: "It cer tainly is. I am prejudiced. .I've had to jump like a yellow dog at cross ways for years. I could, not serve in this case." Leavitt is- u automobile salesman. and while demonstrating a machine to C. C. Slaughter, of California, and James Hardman, of Seattle, July 10, 190S, ran down and killed Rafelia Sago, an Italian street-Bweeper, at Twenty third avenue and East Cherry street. Through his attorneys, R. A. Hulbert, of Seattle, and Fred W. Morrison, of Los Angeles, Leavitt asked for a continuance to the September term on the. ground that he could not get Slaughter and Hardman here to testify, and that Depu ty Prosecuting Attorney John F. Mur phy refused to permit the testimony of these witnesses given at the Coroner's inquest to be Introduced as evidence now. A further remonstrance was made on the allegation that Owen McCusker, the driver of the car, who testified favor ably to Leavitt at ther inquest, has be come embittered against the defendant, and is prepared to swear that Leavitt directed him to drive the car at the speed it had attained at the time it hit Sago. Judge Gilliam told the attorneys that the state had waited long enough and had given the accused every considera tion, but the time had arrived for a set tlement of the charge.
