Bertram Simon. 1631/ E. 46th St., Tacoma, Wash., a well-known photographer. “I suffered from rheumatism in my shoulders for ten years and at one time had to go to the hospital. 1 was down in bed for months and hardly able to turn from side toside. I couldn't sleep and 1 Idon’t believe I had a day free from pain. My appetite failed and I could 'nt digest a thing properly. Gas made me have heart burn for hours after meals. “In a very short time after I started taking Tanlac I actually felt like a new man. 1 am now entirely rid of rheumatism and my stomach is in flrstclass condition, while I have gained ten pounds and never felt better. I have recommended Tanlac to a number of people and 1 am always glad to say a good word for this remarkable medicine.” Tanlac is sold my all good druggists.

(Continued from nace one) their contempt for the kind of terrorism being practiced in the name of labor. “The building trades council has become a name only. Only a handful of hoodlums compose it. The unions that made it have deserted in disgust. The shattered organization is in the hands of Murphy, Mader and Shea. Murphy stands convicted of robbing the mails and Mader and Shea are ex-convicts. Labor as a whole has no part in it.” Authorities today reported they had obtained a confession from Mrs. John Miller, wife of the man alleged to have driven the auto from which the two policemen were shot at the start of the outbreak. Mrs. Miller, they said, admitted she sat in a conference at which her husband and two other men planned to bomb buildings in the fight against the Landis wage award. When the trio returned home, she said one of the men was wounded and she washed the blood stains from his shirt. Miller is in custody and the two others are being sought.

Other witnesses who testified today were the Rev. C. J. Mine.-. Orin Gilpin, and Frank Bohnke. Oakley and Miss Brown weie recalled to the witness stand. The Loftus boy had not testified at a late hour this afternoon. He is being defended by Attorney L. C. DeVoss, who was appointed by the court.
