Has Occurred FREIGHT IS PILING UP ON DOCKS AND SITUATION IS GROWING SERIOUS 30000 MEN HAVE QUIT WORK By Associated Pre3 New York May 13There is no change for the better in the situation caused by the strike of the longshoremen Freight is piling up at an enormous rate at all the docks and apparently the steamship companies have but few men to move it The blockade is causing much inconvenience to shippeVs and merchants and the transportation companies and strikers are losing thousand of dollars daily The loss to shipping interest alone is said to aggregate 500000 thus far while the loss in wages tc the longshoremen also runs into sever figures Neither side has thus far shown any disposition to surrender but the prediction was made that one side or the other must soon give way as the strike is paralyzing the ocean traffic of the port a condition that merchants cannot long permit to continue According to the strike lead era 30000 stevedores are on strike in Manhattan Brooklyn and nand considering the number of men out the strike is remarkable for lack of disorder but the rows have been of no great magnitude and have been easily controlled by he police The Civic Federation despite the rebuffs of last week will this week renew its attempt to settle the strike by arbitration In this connection it is stated that Sajnuel Gompers president of the American Federation cl I Labor has been called upon to endeavor to bring about a peace conference Mr Gompers is in Washington and It is expected he will reply today to the several messages sent him on the subject A feature of the strike In the last few hours was the desertion of between 200 and 300 strikebreakers from the White Star line docks It is feared the dissension will spread to the strikebreakers on the other piers President Connors of the long shoremens union says he expects the tidewater boatmen who tow the coal barges from the pickets to the steamers to strike in sympathy today He also expects that the grain elevator men will strike today It Is Dangerous to Neglect a Cold How often do we hear It remarked Its only a cold and a few days later i learn that the man Is on his back with pneumonia This is of

County Solicitor tin is still probing into these matters and intends continuing the investigation and to ascertain If there has been any other irregular work in county affairs If there has been he proposes to get to the bottom 01 the niatter Yesterday the solicitor filed two in formations against parties charged wlh tampering with state witnesses Shortly after the arrest of former Commissioner Andrews it 1s alleged that the latter and IT Long approached certain state witnesses who had been summoned and endeavored to have them swear to certain transactions wiach had not occurred It had been intimated that the solicitor would take such action but the fact that he gathered information for five separate counts caste as a surprise The solicitor is as much determined as ever to see that the state witnesses are not approached or tampered with and will not rest with the arrest of two on this charge if other attempts are made Speaking along this line he said yesterday afternoon I am still probing into this affair and while I propose to see that every defendant has a fair and impartial trial in the criminal court I do not Intend to have the state witnesses tampered with or influenced in

Texas on the ROCK Island road today The engine and fifteen freight cars were wrecked BREAD DYSPEPSIA The Digesting Element Left Out Bread dyspepsia is common It affects the bowlels because white bread is nearly all starch and starch is digested in the intestines not in the stomach proper Up under the shell of the wheat berry Nature has provided a curious deposit which is turned Into diastase when it is subjected to the saliva and to the pancreatic juices in the human intestines This diastase is absolutely necessary to digest starch and turn it into grape sugar which is the next form but that part of the wheat berry makes dark flour and the modern miller cannot readily sell dark flour so Natures valuable digester is thrown out and the human system must handle the starch as best it can without the help that Nature intended Small wonder that appendicitis peritonitis constipation and all sorts Of troubles exist when we go so contrary to Natures law The food experts that perfected urapeNuts food knowing these facts made use in their experiments of the entire wheat and barley including all the parts and subjected them to moisture and long continued warmth which allows time and the proper conditions for developing the diastase outside of the human body In this way the starchy part is transformed into grape sugar in a perfect natural manner without the use of chemicals or any outside ingredients The little sparkling crys tals of grape sugar can be seen on the pieces of GrapeNuts This food therefore is naturally predigested and its use in place of bread will quickly correct the troubles that have been brought about by the too free use of starch in the food and that is very common in the human race today The effect of eating GrapeNuts ten days or two weeks and the discontinuance of ordinary white bread is very marked The user will gain rapidly in strength and physical and mental health Theres a Reason A I CANOE STATION EXPRESS OFFICE ROBBED OF 200 1 Reward of
