GRAFT CRUSADE
Pittsburg Ministers Make Ef
fort Arouse Sentiment
Many Councilmen Expected to Resign
Without Protest Banks are
Called Upon to Testify.
Pittsburg, March 29. The Lenten
season, which ended Sunday, has been
too short a season of penitence for
Pittsburg, and it will be continued
with promise of even more startling
confessions of graft this week.
In several hundred churches the
feature of the Easter services was the
reading of a circular letter issued by a
civil committee, urging the members
of every congregation to attend a huge
indignation mass meeting to be held
some day this week. Sermons, too,
were designed to arouse public con
demnation of such practices as have
been revealed. Lessons in civic clean
liness were drawn by many pastors.
It having been pretty thoroughly es
tablished; according to District Attor
ney William A. Blakeley, that at least
$102,500 was used in influencing legis
lation, the source of the money and the
dispensers of it are to be the focus of
the grand jury's attention tomorrow
morning.
A considerable portion of the big
bribe fund is charged to certain banks
that sought to get city deposits. They
succeeded, but it is the desire of the
grand jury, as pronounced in its report
of Friday last, that the bank deposit
ordinance be rescinded, and the banks,
if found guilty, be deprived of the use
of city money. It is known that some
representatives of the banks are to be
called tomorrow to testify.
The six banks that have been named
by the grand jury as having been in
volved in the scandal are the Columbia
National, the German National of
Pittsburg, the Farmers' National De
posit bank, and the Second National,
the German National, of Alleghany,
and the Workingmen's Savings &
.Trust company.
The directorate of the Farmers'
National has announced that it will
comply with the district attorney's
call for information and the Second
National has prepared a certified state
ment which is to be presented to the
grand jury tomorrow. The other
banks have taken no action.
It was still unlearned tonight wheth
er Charles Stewart in his talk with Dis
trict Attorney Blakeley told all he is
believed to know of the men higher up.
Stewart is an ex-Select councilman,
who was declared by the grand jury in
its presentment Saturday to have been
the man to whom $45,000 of bribe
tainted money was given at the Hotel
Imperial in New York.
ETNA MAY CAUSE TREMBLOR.
Pent-Up Lava Likely to Force Pas
sage, Scientist Believes.
Catania, March 29. While the quan
tity of lava from the craters of Mount
Etna continues to decrease, the intern
al activity of the volcano was stronger
today than yesterday. Frank A. Per
ret, the American authority, believes
that the decrease in the flow of lava is
due to obstructions in the new craters,
which prevent its flowing freely, and
that in a few days, the molten mass
will either force a passage or an earth
quake will result. Mr. Perret went to
day from Nicolosi to the Alpine club
refuge, which is situated near the cra
ters, and later telegraphed down as
follows : "The activity of Etna today
is stronger, but the lava is slower.
Terrific explosions in the interior of
the mountain continue,"
Muskrat Drains Fish Pond.
Spokane, Wash., March 29. Near
Kalispell, Mont., boring a hole in an
embankment that sustained one side of
an artificial fish pond, a muskrat a few
days ago drained the pond and caused
the loss of many of the fish, many of
which, instinctively heading up stream
when the waters began to fall, floun
dered into a small creek that poured
into the pond and escaped into small
marshes that lined the stream. The
pond was owned by Richard Greig,
who stocked it several years ago with
trout from a government fish car.
Gun Explodes; Eight Die?
Manila, March 29. A report reach
ed here today that a gun on the United
States cruiser Charleston exploded dur
ing target practice, killing or wound
ing eight men. The Charleston is re
turning to Manila from Olongapo. No
details of the reported accident have
been received here. The Charleston
is the flagship of Rear Admiral John
Hubbard, commander in chief of the
Asiatic fleet. Her commanding officer
is CommanderJohn H. Gibbons.
Ten Fight With Knives.
Walla Walla, March 29. As the re

of the participants, may die from his
wounds. Two Japanese were arrested.
Tbe fight arose over the possession of

Stomach Ills May
Seem Trifles
At the start, but that is when you
want to take the matter in hand.
Neglect can only result the one way
sickness. The stomach is largely
responsible for one's health andn
strength and as such it needs to be
kept in a normal condition. If it be
comes weak, the food remains undi
gested, ferments and causes untold
suffering. Thus you lose the
strength-giving properties of your
food and you become weak and run
down. This is very noticeable at the
beginning of Spring when the sys
tem is overloaded with Winter im
purities, the bowels clogged and the
blood thick. No wonder you have
the "Spring Fever." Commence
taking Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
this very day and cleanse the entire
system. Then your Stomach Ills will
also vanish. It is for Sick Headache,
Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Spring Fe
ver, General Debility fend Malaria.

Captala David Beatty will shortly
have the distinction of being the
youngest rear-admiral In the British
nary. His forthcoming promotion
at the early age of thirty-eight has
been the subject of a special Order In
Council.
To qualify for promotion under the
regulations a captain must have served
during peace time for a total period
of six years. The Admiralty petition
sets forth that, owing to the abnormal
shortening of the time on the cap
tains' list, it is anticipated that Cap
tain Beatty will reach his turn tor pro
motion before he completes the full
period of six years.
It Is also pointed out that ha was
severely wounded In action In China,
and was consequently prevented from
receiving an appointment for a con
siderable period.
In these circumstances the Order
directs that Captain Beatty shall be
promoted to flag rank in his turn, not
withstanding the regulations.
Captain Beatty Is an Irishman. His
wife Is a daughter of an American
millionaire, the late Marshall Field,
founder ot the great dry goods store
in Chicago.
Nelson was promoted to the rank of
rear-admiral In his thirty-ninth year.
