Recent Discovery of Ether
Compound That Dries Up
Corns So They Lift Out
Good news spreads rapidly and drug
gists here are kept busy dispensing
i'reczone, the recent discovery of a Cin
. cinuati ninn? which is said to loosen
any eorn so it lifts out with the fingers
A quarter of an ounco costs very lit
tle at any pharmacy, but is said to be
suficient to rid one's feot of every
lard or soft corn or callus.
You apply just a few drops on the
tender, aching eorn and instantly the
soreness is relieved, and soon the corn
is so shriveled that it lifts out with
out pain. It is a sticky substance
which dries when applied and never in
flames or even irritates the adjoining
tissue.
This discovery will prevent thou-'
sands of deaths-annually from lockjaw
and infection heretofore resulting from
the suicidal habit of cutting corns.

" 'You have been paying the wrong
conductor,' he told me.
"I can't remember the exact words
I used but I gave him to understand
that I wanted to know who the right
conductor was.
Mayor Took the Money
"I took $4000 in currency out of
my pocket, laid it on the desk where
the mayor sat and he put it in his pock
et."
Neither Mayor Gill nor Beckinghani
changed expression or position at this
stage of Billingsley's recital.
"The chief returned to the office
and the mayor told him that they wero
going to be my xriends, iiillingsley
continued, "and for hiui to get my pa-!

"Tho chief told him that there was
a subpoena for tho papers.
"'To hell with that,' the mayor
said.
"Tho chief then said Prosecuting
Attorney Lundin had. asked for them
in a state case1?
" 'To hell with Lundin," the mayor
said. Then an officer, who I think was
named Sullivan was called and told to
get the papers.
"He reported later that Sergeant
Putnam, of the dry squad had them
and refused to surrender them. He was
sent back and finally came in with the
papers." '
How Billingsley extended protection
he declares he enjoyed from the four
city detectives, on trial to other druggist-liquor
dealers, was tho fist point
brought out this morning by Special
Prosecutor Reames.
These druggists, Fred Cann and A.
A. Patterson, of the Sound Drug com
pany, were compelled to pay Billingsley
the same rate $10 a barrel for protec
tion that Billingsley paid.
Attorneys for both sides showed great
interest when a letter from Logan Bil
lingsley to the Jesse Moore Hunt com
pany of San Francisco was read. In it
Logan asked that a bill of lading for
10 gallons of ."Old Hermitage" be sent
to the office of George Vandever, HIS
Hoge building. Vandoverc was Billings
ley's attorney.
Reames soon began reading into the
records a series of letters and tele
grams that passed between Billingsley
and tho Jesse Moore Hunt company.
These, in addition to those read yester
day afternoon, revealed in detail the

STONE Will RETAIN
PLACE ONQOMMlfTEE
"Senatorial Courtesy" ForHds
Other Senators Adminis
tering Rebuke
N'ew York, March 9. Because of the
time honored "nenatorial courtesy,"
the Now York World declared today
Senator Stone probably will be retain
ed as chairman of the foreign relations
committee.
The World made this statement fol
lowing a poll of the senate by its
Washington correspondent, in which it!
was found that only three senators
would express themselves in favor of
Stone's removal, while thirteen said
they were opposed to it and eixty
eight refused to commit themselves.
Eighty four senators were interrogat
ed. Kleven could not be found and one
(Senator S'.onc) was not questioned.
The thirteen senators who expressed
themselves in favor of retaining Stone
are: Chamberlain, Gore, Kirby, Lewi.
Myer, Newlands, Overman, Reed,
Thomas and Yardaman democrats;
Penrose, Smoot and Townsend, repub
licans. The three who declared they wanted
him ousted arc Paul O. Husting of Wis
consin and J. If. Wolcott of Alabama,
democrats, and Thomas Sterling of
Xorth Dakota, republican.
What the World Says
Commenting on Stone's position the
World said editorially:
"A senate which by nearly unnni
mous vote of democrats and republi
cans has just rid itself forever of
shackling rules imposed by a genera
tion long dead should be able to bring
enough moral pressure upon Mr. Stone
to compel his Retirement. The two posi
tions are closely related for the rulc9
and the chairmanship arc survivals in
this country of a system of heredity
which the authors of American freedom
sought diligently to extirpate. "
The Times said:
"Admitting for the sake of argu
ment that Mr. Stone may be a great
statesman, the greatest in American
history even; admitting that his tal
ents are so various and so dazzling that
the government could not get along
without him, it would still remain true
that those talents should be employed
in some other place than that partic
ular chairmanship and that that is one
place which he cannot possibly occu
py with success and honor. He cannot
be the administration's mouthpiece,
for he typifies, more than any other
senator, even Lafollette himself, the
opposition to the very foreign policy
of which his position requires him to
be the spokesman."
A Senator's Statement
"You may say definitely," Lewis
said, "that Mr. Stone will again head
the committee."
Since criticism of Stone's "face
about" in refusing to support Presi
dent Wilson's armed neutrality plan
hits come largely from administration
sources, the unequivocal statement of
Lewis, administration spokesman in
the senate, was taken to indicate an
agreement had been reached to retain
the present chairman.
"It is upto Senator Stone's con-
stituenc3'," Lewis said, "to rebuke
him, if he is to be rebuked.
"It would be unethical for sena
tors to upbraid another senator for
expressing his honest conviction. Mem
bers of the senate represent state sov
erignty. One state may not question
the stand of another."
Opposition to Stone's retention as
tne neau or me loieign rciuuuna i-um
mittee, it is known, will be voiced in
committee bv Senators James of Ken
tucky and Hollis of New Hampshire. It
is not DeJievetl, nowever, mey win car
ry the fieht to the senate floor.
Deposition of Stone, it is felt, might
cause what would become a disastrous
snlit in democratic ranks. In view of
the. dwindling democratic majority, ad
ministration leaders do not wish to do
anything which would disrupt present
party harmony.
collosal illicit liquor business Billings
ley conducted here.
One of "these letters written in July
before his Night and Day drug store
was smashed by the police, contained a
plea from Billingsley to the Hunt com
pany to sue railroad and express com
panies for the value of shipments seized
in Seattle, so that in turn the companies
would make it harder for the police to
intercept future shipments.
Market Is Weak But
Prices Are Higher
New York, Mar. 9 The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
A good deal of impetus was imparted
to trading in tho securities market to
day resulting in considerable accession
of strength in both tho Btock and bond
markets by the latest statement of the
federal reserve board, further explain
ing away the interpretation placed on
the statement from the same quarter
last November with respect to bank in
vestments in foreign loans.
It is to be presumed that this change
of front will have the effect of stimu
lating the foreign trade of this country.
Bankers in general applaud the wisdom
of some such announcement at this
time.
The public, however, is still cautious,
having in mind doubtless the course of
the markets not so long ago when reac
tions of five to 10 points were the rule
after good advances. Except for some
strouB and weak spots among the spe-
i cialties, the market did little until mid
day when the upward movement began.
The steel and copper shares were
strong, particularly United States steel,
which crossed 112, and American smelt
ing and refining. The shipping and
motor shares made substantial gains,
the feature being General Motors which
gained some seven points in discounting
the action of the directors putting the
stock on a 12 per cent annual dividend
basis.

Numerous complaints havo been sent
in to the department of weights and
measures concerning sliortago in tne
measurement of cords of wood supplied
people in this city by farmers with the
result that the department has had tho
wood measured and in some cases
found it wanting. It is not generally
known .that private individuals can
ask the department to measure a quan
tity of wood to find out whether tne
wood delivered is all that it is sup
posed to be, but that is true. If it is
thought the amount of wood delivered
is short of the 128 cubic feet per cord
then it is time to call in the depart
ment of" weights . and measures and
have it measured.
This has been done recently and it
has been found that in numerous cases
that the wood delivered has been short
of the required 128 cubic feet.
"Buy wood by the cord or fraction
al' part thereof; ordering 'by the loud'
is meaningless. A ' load ' of wood haul
ed in a smnll wagon might consist of
less than half a cord, and yet be a
large load for that particular wagon.
Under the 'law,' you are entitled to
know the correct measure of the wood
delivered; it must also be well piled,
which mean that 'bulk-heading,'
'bridging,' and other 'methods' of pil
ing wood in a loose manner are unlaw
ful. "In this connection, wood dealers
and consumers aro advised that this
office recoani7.es a 'shrinkage' of
twelve cubic feet to the cord when
wood is sawed; or, in other words, one
cord of four foot wood (128 cubic
feet), carefully piled, and then sawed
into Ki-inch lengths and replied will
measure 11(5 cubic feet in the short
lengths; consequently, if you order one
cord of wood with the request that it
be sawed, the delivery of ll(i cubic
feet of the sawed wood will comply
with wour order." .

State House News
In reply to a query from G. G.
Brown, clerk of the Mate laud board,
concerning request of the Vnitcd
States government to make up a defi
cit of base for which the state has re-'
ccived indemnity lands from the gov
ernment, and also whether in case the
land board refused to make substitu
tion the government could cancel the
selection by appropriate action in the
federal courts, the attorney general re
plied that he thought the state was
bound to make up the deficit and that
in case it did not the government could
maintain suit.
In his opinion, the attorney general
stated that Oregon has received indem
nity lands amounting to t42.J4 acres'
more than the valid base submitted j
therefor. He said it is only a matter
of common right that the atate should I
supply the amount of base necessary to j
make up this deficiency. The right to !
select indemnity lands depends upon I
whether the state has been deprived j
of any part of lands granted it by the ;
United States government and if,!
through niiBtnke, the state marie claim '
for a greater amount than it had lost
from its granted hinds, it is not enti
tled to indemnity land without submit
ting other bnse therefor.

It is unnecessary for you to sutler
with eczema, blotches, ringworm, rashes
and similar skin troubles. A little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 25c, or
$1.00 for extra large bottle, and promptly
applied will usually give instant relief
from itching torture. It cleanses ami
soothes the skin and heals quickly and
effectively most skin diseases.
Zcmo is a wonderful, penetrating, dis-'

most delicate skin. It is not greasy, is
easily applied and costs little. Get it,
