(Continued Prom First Page.) f ' The bones, the muscles, and all the organs of the body depend for their strength and tone and healthy action on pure blood. If the blood is very impure, the bones 'become diseased; the muscles become enfeebled, the step loses its elasticity, and there is inability to per form the usual amount of labor. The skin loses its clearness, and pimples, blotches and other eruptions appear. Hood's Sarsaparilla makejs pure blood. It is positively unequaled in the treatment of scrofula and other humors. catarrh, rheumatism, dyspepsia, loss of appetite, that tired feeling. Be sure to get Hood's and get it today.

Had the wound la his neck been one eighth of an inch deeper he could not have lived, according to physicians. Several poison tablets were found in Thaw's pocket. ' Thaw was reported resting easily in a hospital tonight. His physicians said tonight Thaw probably would recover fully within a week or two. Thaw was unconscious when discov ered by Mrs. Tacot with a blood-stained razor on the floor beside his bed. He remained in that condition until his arrival at the hospital. Some time later Detective "Wood, as sured by the hospital physicians that his condition was not serious enough to necessitate an ante-mortem state ment, approached his bedside and re marked: "You are not going to die, Harry, but nevertheless there may be some thing which you may now want to tell us. Wil you do bo?" Detectives on Guard. The patient slowly shook his head. "I have nothing to say," he said feebly, and closed his eyes. Two detectives were placed on guard at the patient's bedside and Captain Tate, at detective headquarters, begati arrangements for his extradition to New York as soon as his condition will permit his removal from the hospital. Captain of Detectives Tate and oth ers detailed to search for Thaw had accepted the belief that he had left the city some time after completing his testimony in his mother's civil suit here on Monday. It was generally be lieved that he had gone by automobile and was in seclusion in Pittsburg. Re ports yesterday said he was one of a motor party staying at an upstate inn. Detective Tells "Whereabouts. The first intimation of his presence in this city came with a message to the detective bureau from the private detective assigned to watch Thaw's interests while here. The detective bad been informed of Thaw's attempted suicide by Mrs. Tacot shortly after she went to call him about 10 o'clock this morning. ' Failing to get a response, Mrs. Tacot entered the apartment and found him lying stretched across ie bed, fully dressed, his clothes stained by blood which spurted from two deep gashes on the left side of his neck and from a severed artery in his left wrist. His right arm hung limply at . the side of the bed and on the floor, within a few inches of his hand, was the bloody razor he had borrowed irom Mrs. Tacot.

"Re publicans develop unexpected opposi tion to the adoption of an adverse re port by the rules committee on the wood "leak" Investigation resolution, the flurry over rumors that mon was made in the stock market on advance information about President "Wilson's peace note probably will end In the House tomorrow. Two hours of debate will precede a vote on the reoort Democratic members of the rules. committee voted today over the vigor ous protest of the Republicans to re port unfavorably the Wood resolution, which would provide .specially for an Miquiry by a special committee into chargea "made by Thomas W. Lawson that there was a "leak" in advance of the peace note. Other Resolutions Rejected. The majority also declined to bring up for a final vote another Wood reso lution for a general investigation of "leak" allegations or one by Represent ative Campbell, of Kansas, designed to empower a Congressional committee to inquire into every phase of the rumors. , Democrats and Republicans disagree as to the effect of the committee's ac tion toward the Lawson contempt charges. Republicans say he 'was ab solved and that the whole investiga tion is over. Chairman Henry insists that the special sub-committee to deal with Lawson's refusal to answer ques tions still is in existence and may take some action. The opposing members also disagree as to whether the inquiry is over. Rep resentative Henry says Representative W ood has another resolution before the committee, which has not been acted upon, whtoh the majority refused to take up today. New Version of Leak Given. A new version of the "leak" to Wall street on President "Wilson's peace note was given to the committee today by James R. Reilly, managing editor of the Wall Street Journal.

M-. Wednes day. December 20. 10 hours before the note was puDiisnea. Between 11:30 A.

Two Messages Received. The first, filed before Boyle had re ceived Reilly'a inquiry regarding his reporter's tip, was marked "confiden tial" and told of the coming of some sort of a notemd said it was not a peace proposal. The second, in reply to Rellly's in quiry as to whether anything was available on the reports gleaned from the brokers' wires, was to the effect that the reference undoubtedly was made to the coming note. "About 11:30." Reilly said, "one of our reporters told me that Washington wires to brokerage houses said the President was preparing to issue a Ttd manifesto. There had been ru mors to this same effect abroad in Waft street for some time. I immedi ately telegraphed our Washington rep resentative. I sent mm a about 11:30.
