J BOUGHTJSY HUERTA
TOKYO, Nov. 14. —If Huerta throws

X* LECTURES ON WAR
STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Nov. 14.
"In regard to the Mexican situation,
you ask if I think there is a place for
force." said B. N. Langdon-Davie, the
noted British economist, in his lecture
yesterday before Stanford students on
national armaments in relation to
commerce.
"Yes, for a long time there will be
a place for foree —the police force.
There is room for a force which de
nies the right of any nation to cut
Its own throat, or the throats of oth
ers, and to destroy national resources,
lt is the right and duty of some na
tipn to interpose force in such a case.
"I believe that America. England
and Germany control the destiny of
tiie world, because they believe in rea
son, not force."

THE SAN FRANCISCO CAUL FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14', 1913
Miss Lear Alexander broke down,
became hysterical and threw herself
Into her mother's arms, sobbing vio
lently, this morning In Police Judge
Sullivan's court during Miss Rhoda
Thompson's description of how the
Alexander girl pursued Van Baalen
with a revolver on the day of the
murder. The proceedings were tem
porarily suspended.
After the hysterics Miss Alexander
paid the closest attention to the testi
mony of the three witnesses called
during the morning; session of the
preliminary examination. Only at
times when eye witnesses to the
shooting of J. D. Van Baalen told of
the assault and when some testimony
was given showing her relations with
Van Baalen did Miss Alexander's head
droop, and during these periods she
would cover her eyes with her hand
kerchief and exert every bit of will

IF KIDNEYS IND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to flush Kidneys
and neutralize irritat
ing acids
Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
Inflame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer Is in
constant dread; the water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination!
While lt is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
one of the most simple ailments to
overcome. Get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast; continue this
for two or three days. This will neu
tralise the acids in the urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs, which
will then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined With llthta,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves
cent lithia-water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.—Advertise

the way of conserving water from the
Sierras.
PIER DISPUTE UP
TO CITY ATTORNEY
A conference was held in Mayor
Rolph's office this morning.. on the
question of whether permission
should be granted for the construc
tion of a J1.000,000 amusement pier
at the ocean beach. After two hours
of argument lt was decided to ask
City Attorney Long to decide the
point of jurisdiction and to leave the.
question of policy to the supervisors.
It developed during the hearing
that D. J. Grauman and other local
theater owners had a rival plan for
the construction of a pier at the
beach and were determined to prevent
the eastern backers of the original
project from obtaining a permit.
All members of the park commis
.sion, the Supervisors' lands and tun
nels and public welfare committees,
San Francisco center, California club.
Downtown association and other or
ganizations were present. Judge Cur
tis H. Lind ley said the project pre
sented by the Upton brothers was a.
laudabie one, but that the park com
mission was against commercializing
the beach and had ho power to grant
such a permit.
Supervisor Andrew J. Gallagher cre
ated a sensation when he scored the
park commission for its failure to im
prove the beach' and get it ready for
1915. "You have done nothing," he
said, "to provide conveyances amd
amusement for the thousands who
WIH visit the beach during the fair.
Why do you oppose this offer on the
part of eastern capitalists to Improve
the beach when you will do nothing
yourself?"
Judge Llndley replied with some
heat: "Tf you know anybody who
wants my job let me know. The posi
tion is honorary, and the task of a
park commissioner is certainly not
•tstrewn with rose*.
An elaborate scheme for making the
beach the people's playground, with a
variety of amusement and entertain
ment features, is suggested to Mayor
Rolph by the Santa Francisco Con
vention league In a letter expressing
its approval of the pier.
In Its communication the league de
clares that the beach must ulti
mately be beautified in a comprehen
sive and intelligent manner, and asks
that Rolph plaoe the matter in th«
hands of the proper commission and
invite competition among architects
and engineers.
