Sensation Sprung in Paris by Swindler.
Paris, March 23. A sensation has been caused here by the arrest of a man named Henri Rochette on the charge of conducting successful swindles on an enormous scale. Rochette was at one time a waiter in. an obscure French, town. Ho founded the Franco-Spanish, bank and floated not less than a dozen mining enterprizes in which ho was a director and whose stock was eagerly purchased by French Investors. It now develops that his methods were fraudulent and the complain, against him alleges- that he has stolen over $12,000,000 through the medium of his various companies and societies.

MONK'S THROAT COT FROMJAR TO EAR Bocfy Found in a Dark, Dingy Apartment.
New York, March 23. Another of those mysterious murders so frequent in New York, and bearing the earmarks of a Sicillian vendetta, came to light when the corpse of Vlncemo Benano, an ex-Franciscan monk, who came here from Sicily in 181)1 and had since lived in the Italian colony in Mulberry street, was found in a dark apartment in a dingy East Side tenement. The man's throat was cut from ear to ear and there were gashes and bruises on his head and face. The police, after hours of investigation, declared themselves baffled.

THE PRESIDENTS SPECIAL MESSAGE Following Ii the text of the special message of the President of the United State communicated to the two Aonaes of congress, bearing a renewal of the executive recommendation for the immediate re enactment of an employers' liability law, drawn to conform to the rectnt decision of the supreme court declaring unconstitutional the former law on that subject, and containing other recommendation of interest in the industrial world: To the Senate and House of Representatives; I call your attention to certain measures as to which I think there should be action by the congress before the close of the present session. There is ample time for their consideration. As regards most if not all of the matters, bills have Ix-en introduced into one or the other of the two houses, and it is not too much to hope that action will
be taken one way or the other on these bills at the present session. In my message at the opening of the present session, and, indeed, in various messages to previous congresses, I have repeatedly suggested action on most of these measures. Child labor should be prohibited throughout the nation. At least a model child-labor bill should be passed for the District of Columbia. It is unfortunate that in the one place solely dependent upon congress for Its legislation there -ehould be ao law whatever to protect children by forbidding r regulating their labor. I renew my recommendation for the Immediate re-enactment of an employers' liability law, drawn to conform to the recent decision of the supreme court. Within the limits indicated by the court, the law should be made thorough and comprehensive, and the protection it affords should embrace every class of employe to which the power of the congress can extend. In addition to a liabiflty law protecting the employes of common carriers, the government should show its good faith by enacting a further law giving compensation to Its own employes for injury or death Incurred in 1U service. It is a reproach to us as a nation that in both federal and state legislation we have afforded less protection to public and private employes than any other industrial country of the world. I also urge that action be taken along the line of the recommendations I have already made concerning injunctions in labor disputes. No temporary restraining order should be issued by any court without notice; and the petition for a permanent Injunction upon which such temporary' restraining order has been issued Bhould be heard by court issuing the same within a reasonable time say, not to exceed a week or thereabouts from the date when the order wae issued. It is worth considering whether it would not give greater popular confidence in the imparttaMty of sentences for contempt if H wa required that the issue should be decided by another Judge than the one issuing the injunction, except where the contempt Is committed in the presence of the court, or ia other case of urgency. I again all attention to the urgent need of amending the interstate commerce law and especially the anti-trust law along the lines indicated in my last message. The Interstate commerce law should be amended so as to give railroads the right to make traffic agreements, subject to these agreements being approved by the interstate com me roe commission and published in all of their details. The commission should also be given the power to make public and to pass upon the issuance of all securities hereafter issued by railroad doing an interstate commerce business. A law should be passed providing la effect that when a federal court determines to place a common carrier or other public utility concern under the control of a receivership, the attorney general should have the right to nominate at leaet one of the receivers; or else in some other way the interests of the stockholders should be,consulted, so that the management may not be wholly redelivered to the man or men the failure of whose policy may have necessitated the creation of the receivership. Receiverships should be used, not to operate roads, but as speedily as possible to pay their debts and return them to the proper owners. In addition to the reasons I have already urged on your attention, it has now become important that there should be an amendment of the antitrust law, because of the uncertainty as to how this law affects combinations among laboring men and farmers. If the combination has any tendency to restrict interstate commerce. All of these combinations, if and while existing for and engaged in the promotion of innocent and proper purposes, should be recognized as legal. As I have repeatedly pointed out, this antitrust law was a most unwisely drawn statute. It was perhaps inevitable that in feeling after the right remedy the first attempts to provide such should be crude; and it was absolutely imperative that some legislation should be passed to control, in the intereet of the public, the business use of the enormous aggregations of corporate wealth that are so marked a feature of tbe modern Industrial world. Rut the present anti-trust law, in its construction and working, has exemplified only too well the kind of legislation which under the guise of being thoroughgoing. Is drawn a In such sweeping form as to become either ineffective or else mischievous. In the modern industrial world combinatiocs are absolutely necessary; they are necessary among business men. they are necessary among laboring men, they are becoming more and more necessary among farmers. Some of these combinations are among the raot powetal of all instruments for wrongdoing. Others offer tbe only effective way of meeting actual business needs. It is mischievous and unwholesome to keep upon the statute book viiBodlned a law like the asti-truet 4 wMrifcL- prca- onlrjw-

The Secret Revealed For Thin Women Madame Moneaux, deceased beauty specialist, of New York. long possessed the greatest of all secrets pertainins to feminine charm. And what is this grreat secret, so much desired by women the secret that has made a vast fortune for tho madam's heirs, and that brought her ail the famous actresses and society leaders for patrons? "What, you don't know?" It Is a simple, but sure method of developing the bust, arms and neck of women, who through defect of nutrition arrl circulation, are humiliated bv undeveloped arras. neck and but. The treatment consists of applying a powerful but harmless nervine-stimulant to thcells of the skin, to he absorbed and utilized as nourishment t the flesh cells and tissues. Beautiful changes are wrought. Ugly, d-eformed women are developed Into eharrninsf personages, with well rounded arms and neck and full normal bust of exquisite, curve and proportion so much admired in our great atreees and society leader. Any leading druggist will supply the ingredients to mix at horn, mad as they are used for various prescriptions no oni need be the wiser as to what they are to he used for, which is as it should be for modest womanhood. Oet separately "two ounces trlycerfne." "three ounces Rose Water" and "one ounce Tincture Cadomene" and five cents worth of borax.. Take, home, mix the glycerine with Tincture Cadomene, shake and let stand two hours; then add a teaspoon ful of borax and the rose water. Shake well and apply to the neck, arms and bust, rubbing and massaging until completely absorbed; then wash thoroughly with hot water and soap and dry thoroughly. Apply morning and night regularly for several weeks and the most beautiful development will begin to Fewrard the efforts. It is believed by experts to be th most necessary and effective prescription ever conceived. Thte is worth keeping:, if not for yourelf, for some dear friend who needs it.

tially effective against' vicious combinations, h.'s neverthelfs in theory been construed so as sweepingly to prohibit every combination for the transaction of modern business. Some real good has resulted from this law. But the time has come when it is imperative to modify it. Such modification is urgently needed for the sake of the business men of the country, for the sake of the wage-workers, and for the sake of the farmers. It has now become uncertain how far this law may involve all labor organizations and farmers' organizations as well as all business organisations, in conflict with the law; or, if we secure literal compliance with the law, how far it may result in the destruction of the organisations necessary for the transaction of modern business, as well as of all labor organizations and farmers' organizations.' completely check the wise movement for securing business co-operation among farmers, and put back half a century the progress of the movement for the betterment of labor. A bill has been presented in the congress to remedy this situation. Some such measure as this bill is needed m the Interest of all engaged in the industries which are essential to the oountry's well-being. I do not pretend to say the exact shape that tbe bill should take, and the suggestions I have to offer are tentative; and my views should apply equally to another measure which would achieve the desired end. Bearing this in mind, I would suggest, merely- tentatively, the following changes in the law: The substantive part of the anti-trust law should remain as at present; that is, every contract in restraint of trade or commerce among the several states or with foreign nations should continue to be declared illegal, provided, however, that some governmental authority (such as the commissioner of corporations acting under the secretary of commerce and labor) be allowed to pass on any such contracts. Probably the best method of prov4ding for this would be to enact that any contract, subject to the prohibition contained in the anti-trust law, into which it was desired to enter, might be filed with the bureau of corporations or other appropriate executive body. This would provide publicity. I no such prohibition was issued the 2rs.ntrAt v3.-il3. tbc:?!y be,Jiah.1e to
attack on lhe"ground" that lt'constlruted an unreasonable restraint of trade. Whenever the period of filing had passed without any such prohibition, the contract or combinations could be disapproved or forbidden only after notice and hearing with a reasonable provision for summary review on appeal by the courts. Labor organizations, farmers' organizations and other organizations not organized for purposes of profit, should be allowed to register under the law by giving the location of the head office, the charter and bylaws, and the names and addresses of their principal officers. In the interest of all these organizations business, labor and farmers' organizations alike the present provision permitting the recovery of three-fold damages should be abolished, and as a substitute therefor the right of recovery allowed for should be only the damages sustained by the plaintiff and the coet of suit, including a reasonable attorney's fee. The law should not affect pending suits; a short statute of limitation should be provided, so far as the past is concerned, not to exceed a year; moreover, and even more in the interest of labor than of business combinations, all such suita brought for causes of action heretofore occurred should be brought only if the contract or combination complained of was unfair or unreasonable. It is important that we should encourage trade agreements between employer and employe where they are Just and fair. A strike is a clumsy weapon for righting wrongs done to labor, and we should extend, so far as possible, the process of conciliation and arbitration as a substitute for strikes. Moreover, violence, disorder and coercion, when committed in connection with strikes, should be as promptly and as sternly repressed as when committed In any other connection. But strikes themselves are and should be, recognized to be entirely legal. Combination of workingmen have a peculiar reason for their existence. The very wealthy individual employer, and still more the very wealthy corporation, stand at an enormous advantage when compared to the individual workingman; and while there are many cases where it may not be necessary for laborers to form a union, in many other cases it is indispensable, for otherwise the thousands of small units, the thousands of individual workingmen, will be left helpless in their dealings with the one big unit, the big individual or corporate employer. Twenty-two years ago, by the act of June 29, 1886. trades unions were recognized by law, and the right of laboring pople to combine for all lawful purposes was formally recognised, this right including combination for mutual protection and benefits, the regulation of wages, hours and conditions of labor, and the protection of the Individual rights of the VQrkingTaea In the prosecution of their trade or trades; and in tbe act of June 1, 189S, strikes were recognised as legal in the same provision that forbade participation in or instigation of force or violence against persons or property, or the attempt to prevent others from working, by violence, threat or intimidation. The business man must be protected fn person and property, and so must the farmer and the wageworker; and as regards all alike, the right of peaceful combination for . all lawful purposes should be explicitly recognized. The right of employers to combine and contract with one another and
with their employes should be explicit
ly recognized; and so should the right of the employes to -combine and to contract wKn one another and with the employers, and to seek peaceably to persuade others to accept their views, and to strike for the purpose of peaceably obtaining from employers satisfactory terms for their labor. Nothing should be done to legalize either a blacklist or a boycott that would be illegal at common law; this being the type of boycott defined and condemned by the anthracite strike commission. The question of financial legislation is now receiving such attention in both houses that we have a right to expect action before the close ef the session. It is urgently necessary that there should be such action. Moreover, actlor. eic'H h,- :-Jert V? es.t-iMiEi! 003-

tal savings tanks! These postal savings banks are imperatively needed for the benefit of the wage-workers and men of small means, and will be a valuable adjunct to our whole financial system. The time has come when we should prepare for a revision of the tariff. This should be, and indeed must be, preceded by careful investigation. It is peculiarly the province of the congress and not of the president, and indeed peculiarly the province of tbe house of representatives, to originate a tariff bill and to determine upon its terms; and this I fully realize. Yet it seems to me that before the cloee of this session provision should be made for collecting full material which will enable the congress elected next fall to act immediately after it comes into existence. This would necessitate some action by the congress at Its present session, perhaps in the shape of directing the proper committee to gather the necessary information, both through the committee Itself and through government agents who should report to the committee and should lay before it the facts which would permit it to act with prompt and intelligent fairness. I am of the opinion, however, that one change in the tariff could with advantage be made forthwith. Our forests need every protection, and one method of protecting them would be to put upon the free list wood pulp, with a corresponding reduction upon paper made from wood pulp, when they come from any country that does not put an export duty upon them. Ample provision should be made for a permanent waterway commission, with whatever power is required to make it effective. The reasonable expectation of the people will not be met unless the congress provides at this session for the beginning and prosecution of the actual work of waterway improvement and control. Numerous bills granting water power rights on navigable streams have been introduced. None of them give the government the right to make a reasonable charge for the valuable privilege so granted, in spite of the fact that these water power privileges are equivalent to many thousands of acres of the best coal lands for their production of power. Nor is any definite time limit set, as should always be done in such cases. I shall be obliged hereafter, in accordance with the policy stated in a recent message, to veto any water power bill which does not provide for a time limit and for the right of the president or of the secretary concerned to fix and collect such a charge as he may find to be just and reasonable in each case. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. The White House, March 25, 1908.
What Dyspepsia Does Undigested food irritates the stomach, causing pain. It ferments and forms gas. It decays and breeds germs, to load the blood with poisons. All these results cease instantly when Kodol digests the food.
Don't try to make the stomach do what it can't do. Don't stimulate it; don't drive it to action. It is like whipping a tired horse. ijet it rest, as you would a lame ankle. And, Slfce the lame ankle, the stomach wiH cure itself. In indigestion the stomach lining Is inflamed. And the undigested food, by becoming hard, irritates tbe lining. That is tbe cause of the pain. So long as that Irritation is allowed to continue, there is no hope of curing the stomach.
Some find that they can't digest all food. So they limit themselves to the food that they can dieesL That means partial starvation. Tbe needs of the body call for variety in food. One cannot diet without starving some part, without losing some needed nourishment. Nourishment will do more than anything else to correct the weakness. It is viral that yon supply it. The right way is this: Eat what you need of the food that you want. Then let Kodol, for a little time, do tbe digesting. Nature will do the rest.
You will say, perhaps, that you have tried digesters before. But you are mistaken. You may have tried pepsin, but pepsin digests only albumen. You may have tried any of the numerous digesters which depend almost solely on pepsin. Tbey digest but part of tbe food. Kodol alone -digests all of the food. It Is tb only way to do all that the strongest digestive organs can do. The results are immediate. Kodol Is liquid, like the digestive juices. Its action begins as soon ad
it enters the stomach. Even before that, the mouth it starts the flow of saliva.
for tn
You don't want to always depend on artificial digesters. We understand that. Bnt you must help the stomach while it needs help. Else it wiH always, need it. Let the stomach rest for a time, just as you would any organ that needs to reenperate. That is all that is necessary and alt that you can do. But the rest must be complete. Half-way measures will not prove satisfactory. You must supply all tbe digestive elements, not part of them. Kodol alone can do that. This hs easily proved. Try Kodol, then try something else. You can easily note the difference. Some digestive elements require the liquid form. Tbey must be preserved in glass. In any other form, it is quite impossible to do what Kodol does. Our Guarantee Kodol will act in any case, under any condition, on any sort of food. This Is so certain that we guarantee it. Buy one large bottle, and ask your druggist for tbe signed guarantee. If you are not satisfied, take the empty bottle back with the warrant, and your druggist will return your money. This offer is made on the large bottle only, and to but one in a family. That bottle will amply .prove how needless it is to suffer and yon will never forget it. Kodol is prepared at the laboratories of E. C DeWitt & Co.. Chicago. Tbe $1.00 bottle contain 2 Va times as ranch aa the 50c bottle.
