GREAT
DISTRESS
AMOMITONS
Hundreds of Thousands Out
of Employment.
POOR UOSUES ARE PACKED
General Booth, Head of the 8alvation
Army, Declares Present Conditions
Are tht Worst He Has Faced in His
Long Period of 8ervice—Street
Demonstrations Of Unemployed Al
ready Begun.
London, Nov. 18.—In a report made
by General Booth, commander of the
Salvation Army, declaring that that
organization is unable to take care of
10 per cent of the people now apply
ing to it for assistance, is revealed an
appalling condition of distress, suffer
ing and starvation brought to a terri
ble climax with winter weather, which
set in last week.
Hundreds of thousands of British
worklngmen—able-bodied skilled arti
sans, willing and anxious to work—
are with their families, literally starv
ing and perishing from lack of food,
fuel and clothing. Inquiry reveals the
complete breakdown of the machinery
of the charitable organizations of this
city.
According to General Booth the sit
uation is the worst that ho has faced
In his long period of service in the
United Kingdom. Poor houses and
charitable organizations are literally
packed and, as unofficial adjuncts to
them, labor colonies have been opened
where men and women are allowed to
work under prison regulations with
no other remuneration than escape
from starvation. Even these institu
tions have been so Beriously packed
that applicants are now turned away.
Street Demonstrations Begin.
The coming of severe weaiher has
resulted in the inauguration at tnls
early date of street demonstrations
of the unemployed, which do not us
ually occur before the first of the year,
when "lie sufferings in past years
caused the shivering, thinly clad work
lngmen to parade the str ets carry
ing banners demanding employment.
These demands are now being made
on the government daily, but the au
thcrltles have already filled every pos
Bible position over which they have
Jurisdiction. During the paut two or
three day* the suburbs and residence
districts have been Invaded by work
lngmen, their wives and children, who
stand in the streets and sing a plead
ing song In a plaintive voice.
A hat is then passed in the hope of
ekeing out a few pennies and these
songs serve to prevent arrest for beg
ging, which would result under old
conditions.
Entirely aside from the millions of
unemployed throughout the United
Kingdom figures recently compiled
show there are approximately 1,000,
000 paupers in England and Wal?s
and that one person in every thirty
two In the city of London is a pauper.
MARBLE CUTTERS ON STRIKE
8tx Thousand Out In Vermont Over
Use of New Tool.
Barre, Vt., Nov. 18.—Four thousand
marble cutters In Barre, East Barre,
Montpelier, Williamstown and Water
bury have struck because of trouble
In the sheds at North field, where a
pneumatic bush hammer was objected
to on the ground that it emitted so
much dust that the cutters were un
able to perform their work satisfac
torily. The strike of the cutters
threw out 2,000 polishers and tool
sharpeners. The quarry men are still
at work, but if the trouble is not set
tled within a short time the 6,000 now
idle will be joined by thousands of
others.

can Trust company was ordered closed

Smith. A. 1$. Taber, state bank ex

ties."

and it has a surplus and undivided
profits of |74,878. Total deposits of
the bank amount approximately to
$400,000.

PINCH0T DENIES THE STORY
Has Not Issued an "Ultimatum to the
President."
Washington, Nov. 18.—"The Itory
that 1 had issued an ultimatum to the
president, like the recent 'conspiracy'
story, Is merely a silly fabrication. Of
course I have done nothing of th
kind, nor anything that could b»
twisted into that meaning. The presi
GIFFORD PINCHOT,
dent was good enough to express his
satisfaction with my work and I am
going ahead with it."
Gifford Plnchot, the government's
chief forester, in a statement, thus
disposed of the reports published that
he had sent a letter to the president
threatening to resign if Secretary of
the Interior Ballinger remained in the
cabinet.
Secretary Ballinger was one of the
cabinet callers at the White House.
He said that he had merely taken up
routine departmental matters with
the president.
POSTAL HEAD OF COMBINE
Triple Wire Merger in Sight as Result
of Reoent Deal.
New York, Nov. 18.—The report that
the controlling interest in the Western
Union Telegraph company obtained
by the American Telephone and Tele
graph company would lead to a closer
community of interest between those
companies and the Postal Telegraph
company, and probably an ultimate
merger of the three companies, w is
given more color when officials of the
American Telephone and Telegraph

LIMA,
LIBERALS AROUSED
BY ACTION OF LORDS
Upper House of British Parlia
ment May Be Abolished.
London. NOT. 18.—A whirlwind po
litical campaign unequalled in the
history of England has begun follow
ing the announcement of Lord Lans
downe, leader in the house of lords,
that the peers will reject, the Lloyd
George budget.
Even the moat conservative sup
porters of the house of lords are of
the opinion that the existence of that
body as a legislative branch of the
government is in danger.
The Liberals are furious. They de
nounce the intended action of the
lords as revolutionary and unconstitu
tional and say the intended usurpation
of the finance handling power of the
house of commons will result in the
immediate abolition of the peers.
iMany Unionists and Conservatives
are of tae opinion that the action of
the lords will at least be unwise. They
say that in presuming to reject the
budget the lords will constitute them
selves the champions of the land and
liquor interests and will thus Insure
tne victory of the Liberals at the polls
and their own downfall.
They were cutting out to install a
concrete abutment for an immense
steel trestle aeros| Salem creek.

Washington, Nov. 18.—John T.

Man Ends Life.
KeW Orleans, Nov. 18.—The disap
pearance and supposed suicide of Ed
ward W. von Buelow, a cousin of the
former chancellor of Germany, follow
Ing his financial ruin and the breaking
up of a happy home he had main
tained here for fourteen years, has
brought to light a most pathetic and
dramatic story.
His fortune was deliberately
wecked, it appears, and his -most sa
cred secret—that his wife was an oc
toroon—was deliberately revealed to
the public by enemies he made in cot
ton speculation.
More than that, he was arrested un
der the law prohibiting the marriage
of whites with persons having a slight
trace of negro blood. And so, penni
less, heart-broken and facing a trial,
he vanished and, presumably, killed
himself.

That Lame Back Means
Kidney Disease
And to Relieve the Lame and Aching Back,
You Must First Relieve the Kidneys
There Is 110 question about that
®t all—for the lame and aching
back is caused by a diseased con
dition of the kidneys and bladder.
It is only common sense, any way
—-that you must cure a condition
ty removing the cause of the con
dition. And lame and aching back
are not by any means the only
symptoms of derangement of the
kidneys and bladder. There are a
multitude of well-known and un
mistakable indications of a more or
less dangerous condition. Some of
these are, for instance: Extreme
and unnatural lassitude and weari
ness. nervous irritability, heart ir
regularity, "nerves on edge," sleep
lessness and inability to secure
rest, scalding sensation and sedi
ment in the urine, inflammation of
the bladder and passages, etc.
