The issue is new and regarded as extremely important. The Pacific and Arctic Railway and Navigation company. Pacinc Coast Steamship company, Alaska Steamship j company, Canadian Pacific Railroad company and others were indicted un der both the Sherman anti-trust and the interstate commerce laws for al leged combination and discrimination against "independents." Solicitor General Bullitt, in a brief to the supreme court, made public to night, says that action by the commis sion is not by any means a necessary precedent for criminal prosecution by the government under either statute.

CELEBRATION OF THE B'NAI B'RITH JUBILEE BEGUN More Than 300 Delegates From Lodges of Western States and British Co lumbia Present Marking the completion jof a half century of activity along lines of pro gressive charity and philanthropic work by Jewish people of the Pacific coast and western states, the golden jubilee celebration of district grand lodge No. 4.

Rabbi Jacob Nieto, took up the gavel. Represenfatives of the 10 San Fran cisco lodges, comprising many well known business and professional men, acted as hosts to the visitors. The first important work accom plished was the framing Of a resolu tion which was adopted immediately, indorsing the veto by President Taft of the immigration bill. Copies will be sent to the president of the United States senate and speaker of the house of representatives. YOUTH'S AUXILIARY PROPOSED A resolution was introduced for the organization of a youth's auxiliary of the B'nai B'rith, proposing that such a body should be formed and recognized by the grand lodge. It was referred to the committee. A committee of five officers was ap pointed to remodel the endowment sys tem of the grand lodge district and to settle the insurance plan within 90 days, after whfch their work will be considered by the grand lodge coun cil. The nucleus of a fund for the en tertainment of delegates to the general convention of the order in San Fran cisco in 1915 will be derived from a per capita tax which will be levied on all members of the B'nai B'rith in the Pacinc coast district. As 24 members of the grand lodge died since the last -annual meeting, memorial resolutions were framed and adopted. SERVICES AT TEMPLE ISRAEL. Appropriate services in celebration of the golden jubilee of the grand lodge were held last night in Temple Israel, California and Webster streets.

Doctor Hertz received 2UB votes to 39 TURKISH TROOPS FAIL TO LAND ON MARMORA COAST Forces of Enver Bey Hud dled at Gallipoli, Where They Are Unable to Obtain Supplies L.ONDON, Feb. 17.—Uncensored spe cial dispatches reaching London from Constantinople confirm the utter fail ure of Enver Bey, the Turkish chief of staff, to land troops on the coast l 'of the sea of Marmora. His forces, the dis patch says, now are huddled at Gal lipoli, where they are unable to obtain supplies. The Daily Chronicle's correspondent reports the landing of 40.000 Greeks at Bosika bay, on the coast of Asia Minor near the entrance to the Dardanelles. This report, however, is regarded as doubtful. It is given denial by the of ficers of the British warship Zelandia, which has arrived at Constantinople. The situation between Roumania and Bulgaria again has become serious. The negotiations at Son* did not re sult in an agreement on the points at issue. Hakki Pasha, former grand* vizier, has arrived in London. Secrecy is ob served as to his mission, but there seems little reason to doubt that Tur key's military position is hopeless and that when the expected decisive battle is fought ft»r the possession of Kurn dagh, in the Bulair district, a fresh at tempt will be made to negotiate for peace. Czar's Reply Decisive ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 16.—The Russian emperor's reply to the letter recently sent him by the Austrian em peror is short and decisive.

THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY BRITISH CANAL NOTE TO BE MORE DEMANDS Sir Edward Grey's Reply to Knox Expected in Wash ington This Week , WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.—Sir Edward Grey's rejoinder to Secretary Knox's last note regarding the Panama canal tolls question virtually has been com pleted and its substance at least is ex pected to reach Washington this week. It is understood that this last note by no means settles the controversy, nor does It contain assurance of an ac ceptance of the American proposition to exchange ratifications of the pend ing general arbitration treaty, under the terms of which the issue might be referred to the special commission of six members proposed to be created by that convention. The opinion prevails in the state de partment that the treaty of 1908 will be extended for anntjipr term of five years. This was done last week in tho case of the Franco-American limited arbitration treaty, which otherwise would have expired by limitation Feb ruary 27. HEALTH OFFICE TREATS BRIGHTS "We have a letter from a patient who writes from an adjoining State on the letterhead of the, local Health Of fice. On July Bth. 1912, he had the Physi cian in the local Hospital report on his case of Bright's disease. Tt showed "albumen abundant," with casts. He got the consent of the Hospital Physician to take Fulton's Renal Com pound. On Dec. Bth, 1912. the same Physician reported the disappearance of the albu men and casts. We have both of the reports, signed by the Hospital Physician. Physicians may see them who care to call. The new approach In kidney disease through an agent that counteracts Renal degeneration Is getting results in thousands of cases in which failure has been the rule. It does not conflict with the heart and tonic treatment often given in this disease, but it starts the reaction necessary to recovery, viz., It reduces the escape of albumen. There may be a question as to the percentage of cases on the orthodox treatment that recover by adding Ful ton's Renal Compound, but if the books are true no chronic cases recover with out it. If you have Bright's disease you owe it to yourself and family to try Ful ton's Renal Compound before giving up. 3
