BRITAIX TO ARBITRATE.
New Zealand Attorney-General on

With Old Webster Claim.
VAN"COr"VER. R. C, April S. Great

nounced today by Dr. J. O. Flndlay.
Attorney-General of New Zealand, who,
with Sir Joseph Ward. Premier of the
commonwealth, reached here today
from the Antipodes, en route to Lon
don. The personnel of the board has
not yet been settled. If negotiations
reach an early conclusion Mr. Flndlay
wtll visit Washington on his way boms
In July in connection with this historic
case.
Ths claimants are descendants of
Captain J. Webster, an intrepid New
Bedford. Mass.. whaler, who operated
In the South Seas in ths early 30s,
making his headquarters In New Zea
land at a period before Great Britain
established a governmeat la the islands.
Ths claim has been pending before the
American State Department for years.
The claimants demand compensation
for lands which it is maintained were
given Captain Webster by various
Maori chiefs. These lands after tha
captain's death became vested tn the
crown and were subsequently occupied
by settlers and comprise some of the
most fertile areas In New Zealand.
Webster, dying In the United Statea.

land rights to his heirs. The claim
has been pressed by ths United States
for many years and recently the Im

ths New Zealand government, agreed
to arbitration.
Tna claim will be opposed on ths
ground that Great Britain by her early
navigators had proclaimed soverelirnty
over New Zealand long before a colo

that in any event any agreement be

Ths eve of Tacoma's first recall elec

candidates against blm. W. W. Seymour
snd A. IL Earth, a Socialist, each con

weather will be good and that one of
the largest votes sver polled at a
local municipal election will be re
corded. Everything points to the elec
tlon of Seymour, Welfare League can
dldate, by a comfortable majority.
Seymour's campaign managers pre
dict that he will get 12.S00 votes, that
Fawoett will receive 6500 ana warm
200. Mayor Fawcett says he Is going
to win by 6000 over Seymour snd Barth.
The Socialist candidate managers pre
dict that Barth will run slightly shead
of Fawcstt and that Seymour will be
third, with the vote close enough to
compel a second election to decide be
tween the two high men.
All three candidates have personal
workers seeking votes In every ward
tonight. Seymour meetings were held
In churches In tha West End and
North End tonight. The Fawcett
forces had a meeting at Fernhlll. tha
15th. precinct of the Third Ward be
ing admittedly Fawcett's strongest
precinct. Barth had a meeting at Val
halla Temple. All four meetings were
well attended.
Women continued their activity in
ths campaign today, although they held
no meetings. Their time was devoted
to personal work. Prominent women,
who own automobiles, are planning to
be out all day tomorrow and will do
nate thslr cars and their efforts to In
dues women voters to go to the polls.
Of the 788S women registered among
;3,JS8 voters, campaign managers ex
pect that over three-fourths of them
will bs at ths polls tomorrow. North
End women are almost without excep
tion ardent Seymour supporters. In
the South End Msyor Fswcett msy get
some of the women's rotes snd a heavy
vote among worklngmen, although la
bor union leaders and tha Railroad
Men's Political Club have declared
against him.
All day the Mayor's office has been
thronged with visitors, the majority
of them workers in the Mayor's "silent
campaign." who were receiving their
orders for tonight anl tomorrow. Ths
Mayor says hs is confident he will not

Health Restored by tho Toale
Treatment That Cured
This Stubborn Case
In St. Louis.
The evil effects that follow many dis
eases, particularly the grip and wasting
diseases as typhoid fever, malaria, scar
let fever, pneumonia and the measles,
are caused by the had condition in
which the blood is left. As a result,
the fle?h continues to fall away, the
sufferer grows nervous and irritable,
and even slight exertion causes short
ness of breath. ' These are dangerous
symptoms and indicate that the sys
tem is in a state, that invites a gen
eral decline' or even consumption. "
What is needed is a new supply oi rich,
red blood to carry health and strength
to every part of the body. Such a
specific has been found and in hun
dreds of cases it has been proved that
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have accom
plished this result.
The cure of Mrs. J. 91. Symonds, of
No. 210 South Twenty-arst street,
St. Louis, Mo., shows the value of these
pills as a tonic in cases where the blood
has become thin or impure. She says:
"About three years ago I was very
ill from an attack of malaria. It left
me in a very weak condition and the
after-effects were as bad as the disease
itself. I was generally run-down, had
no strength and was very thin. I had
but little appetite and nothing seemed
to agree with me but everything I ate
caused me distress. My heart was
weak and at times I thought it was go
ing to stop beating. I also had an at
tack of rheumatism. The pains were
sharp and were all over me. I was
confined to bed for a month at one
time.
"I became discouraged with the treat
ment I was receiving from the doctor
and quit taking his medicine. Through
a friend I learned of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills and began using them right away.
They were the first thing that helped
and I improved until cured. I leel
healthier today than in years and I owe
my recovery to Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills alone.''
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent by mail, postpaid,
