The money. rooriiinc to the federal authorities, came from Berlin by means of express money orders sent to several German sympathizers in this city. Sander and Wuniienberir, according- to the jrovernment. constituted the clearing house. Thev eolle, ted the money from the recipients of the express inoney orders and distributed it to the correspondents. Mow Puta Wan Transmitted. The instructions given to the newspaper men. say the federal a items, were to gathering all available Information resardinsr military and economic conditions in Knsclarid and Ireland and transmit it to a certain Quarter in Holland, either by one of their own number or by letter. The important parts of letters were written in "invisible ink" which became legible when submersed iti a mild acid solution. Ow-ius to the peculiar quality of the paper, a German invention, the British agents who seized the letters did not d srover the invisible ink trick. It was rot until the letters fr sent to the se, ret service men here that the really significant pails 0f the romniunieatmns came ou'. From Holland the information was sent to Germany bv way of i"openag"n where Sander and WunnnberR are said to have kept a representative of their" "Central Powers War Film Exthanee." Although government officials will not disclose the exact nature of the information forwarded In this way. It was said on high authority that it had little strategic or military value. Asssrt They Oot Little of Value. As s matter of fact, it was said, the correspondents who were the eyes of the system had practically no access to any information that was not a matter . f common knowledge. They are believed to have forwarded the future salting dates, of steamships. Information they got by posing as prospective passengers. They forwarded. U 1s said, all da'a relating to Britain's food supply, to discontent among the -working classes, to general economic conditions. They obtained copies of speeches opposing the policy of the government. According to the view of federal agents here, the apparent chief object of the system was to get a. line on how the Frittsh people were st-inding- the strain of the war. " Bacon Star Witness. Tlacon. who will be the government's siart witness, went to Kngland last September. He represented himself as correspondent of the Central Press Association of Cleveland. V. V.

AT STATE CAPITAL. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Feb. 22. Tuesday afternoon was "freak" afternoon in the legislature. The Senate passed the bill to legalize Sunday picture shows, and the bill now goes to the House. The House passed a bill to license cats In the state and failed to p&ss the bill to legalize ten-round boxing contests. The picture show bill has the barking of the Motion Picture Owners' Association of Indians. This organization tried to put it over two years ago, but failed, and everybody has had the idea that it would fail am this time. But if i; is killed ibis time j. nsus; re done by the House.

QUICK RELIEF FfiOM CONSTiPAIION Get Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 17 years and calomel's old-time enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation and torpid livers. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets da not contain calomel, but a healing, soothing vegetable laxative. No griping is the "keynote" of these little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets. They cause the bowels and liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action. If you ha' e a "dark brown mouth" now and then a bad breath a dull, tired feeling sick headache torpid liver and are constipated, you'll find quick, sure and only pleasant results from one or two little Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets at bedtime' Thousands take one or tw-o cvry night just to keep right.

It would create a state athletic eemrilssion. which would have supervision ovr nil boxing matches. These matches would be limited to ten rounds and no decision could be given by the referee. A license fee of $."inO would be charged for e.h bout, the money to pi into '.it- sta'e treasury. The commission would ni.-ik'- an r,t i ca ; ion of each boxer before the b.c.j: .- acted to ascertain his j.liysicii fitness ' he ma t ch. The cat bill provides that th- owner f-haii pay ari ownership fee of $2 toeach cat. in addition to a license fee of ;( cents for each male cat and $1 for each female cat. One of the niemb-rs of the House offered an nroendment to change the word "cat" to "parrot," but it failed. Another amendment, proposed to charlge "cat" to "monkey," but that also failed. The argument presented for the cat bill was that cats kill song

birds and spread dtseas" among . dren especially infantile pa r: s is -and that therefore they should b- .i-V: prohibite, or licensed. The boxing bill failed to pass 1 ... cause it received 40 votes, while 4S wcr. cast against it. This mean that i' wa -not kili.-d. but it tuny he ca'lcrt up tiiit't: for paspsjge.
