The German captain could appeal for
time to make further repairs, but this
would be granted, it is thought, only
on a new and unexpected showing as
to the unseaworthiness or ins vessel.
It appeared to be the general opinion
that Commander Thierichens would not
ask that his ship be interned, but would
wait out his time limit and compel the
Government to act. Officials recalled
the statement of Captain Kiehne. of tne
American ship William P. Frye. sunk

Mr. Breckenridge said no orders had
been given to the post commanders,
and asserted that even in case of a
naval battle within the three-mile limit,
should the Eltel make the dash, there
would ba no firing from the fort with

.Prince Hatzfeldt, Counselor of the
German embassy, visited the State De

aboard tbe Prinz Eitel, except the crew,
had been removed.
The embassy understood, the Coun

GIRLS' CHARGE DOUBTED
Heavy Expense for 31aintenan.ee In
curred, but Reconstruction of
Properties In Recent Years
Is Declared Untrue.
CHICAGO, March 27. Efforts to show
that the 41 Western railroads, in spite
of their petitions for higher freight
rates, had spent great sums for im
provements in recent years, were made
on behalf of the shippers in the In
terstate Commerce Commission hearing
of the case today.
Clifford Thorne, chairman of the Iowa
Railway Commission, referred to the
testimony of S. M. Felton. president
of the Chicago Great Western Rail
road. Mr. Felton had said his road
had greatly Improved its system, "just
as thev are all doing."
L. E. Wettling. statistician for all
the roads, was cross-examined.
' "Do you agree with Mr. Felton that
all the roads have gone tnrougn a
period of reconstruction?" asked Mr.
Thorne.
Railroads Pay High for Money.
Not to the extent that the road;
have been reconstructed," replied th
witness.. "They have been required to
bear heavy expenses for maintenance.
Thev have had to nay high rates for
money. But they have not spent vast
sums for reconstruction.
"Isn't it true that industrials have
had to pay high rates too?"
"Not so high as railroads."
"Has the Northwestern or the Burl
ington or the Milwaukee road paid
higher rates than have industrials?"
Mr. Wettling replied that they naa

but some public service corporations
had gotten money cheaper.
Average Above Tbat of Industrials,
As to the Union Pacific. Northern
Pacific and Great Northerns the witness
said he had no figures.
Mr. Wettling testified that wnue such
roads as the Burlington were able to
borrow money at relatively low rates,
the less prosperous roads, such as the
Missouri Pacific, have to pay high rates
and the general average of all the
roads showed that they paid much
higher rates than industrials.
Adjournment was taken at noon until
Monday.

of Joy Riding.
LOS ANGELES, March 27. Charges
made before the county grand Jury by
wo girl wards of the Juvenile Court
that Charles E. Sebastian, Chief of Po-
ice, had taken them joy riding in a po

BACK FROM THE FIRING LINE
First Aid to the Wounded.
Paris, March 27. At almost every
station on the railroads you will see
men shattered and wrecked for life,
men who must face the future hor
ribly mutilated, and yet' they accept
their fate without a murmur of com
plaint or bitterness. It is the same in
England, in France and, I suppose, in
Russia, that all soldiers are bearing
their sufferings with the greatest of
fortitude.
The best aid these men have is with
in themselves. The human body will
best resist Infection from bullets when
It Is healthy, strong, active and with
all of Its functions fully alive and
working. The best aid to this condl
tion is a vegetable tonic and altera
tive that will first put the stomach
and blood right, for these are depend
ent on one another. Good stomach
means good blood, and likewise good
blood means good stomach.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery helps the stomach to do its w-ork
naturally and properly, stimulates the
liver. The system is freed from poi
sons. The blood is purified. Every
organ Is rejuvenated. This "Medical
Discovery" of Dr. Pierce is free from
alcohol or narcotics. It la made from
the roots and barks of American for
est plants with triple refined glycerine,
and is the best blood purifier, because
it banishes from the blood all poison
and impure matter. It dissolves impure
deposits and carries them out. as it
does all impurities through the bowels.
kidneys and skin. If you have indiges
tion, sluggish liver, catarrh, unsteady
nerves or a pimply skin, get Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to
day and start at once to replace your
impure blood with the kind that puts
energy and ambition into you and
brings back youth and vigor. Adv.
