Pneumonia.
. “In treating pneumonia,” says Dr. W.
J. Smith of Sandors, Ala., “the only
remedy I use for the lungs is Chamber-
lain’s Cough Remedy. While, of course,
I would treat other symptoms with dif-
ferent medicines, I have used this
remedy many times in my medical
practice and have yet failed to find a
case where it has not controlled the
trouble. I have used it myself, as has
also my wife, for coughs and colds re-
peatedly and I most willingly and cheer-
fully recommend it as superior to any
other cough remedy to my knowledge.

Miss Carpenter Receives Invitation to
Inaugural Ball as Reward.
By Associated Press.
New York, Dec. 29.—By writing a
political parody on young Lochnivar,
in which W. H. Taft and W. J. Bryan
appear as the principal character, Miss
Beatrice Gill Carpenter has so deligat-
ed the president-elect that he has sent
the young woman and her parents an

New York, Dec. 29.—Heated contro-
versy is expected to follow the decis-
ion of the registration committee of
the Amateur Athletic association last
night in suspending six prominent ath-
letes on charges of professionalism-
None of the men concerned had is-
sued any statement last night, but P.
J. Conway, president of the Irish-
American Athletic club, is quoted as
follows:
“That’s a fine way to do business—
hang a man first and try him after-
The A. A. U. is persistently
preaching fairness, and here they go
and put the ban on half a dozen ath-
letes because someone with a grouch
writes or reports any old kind of a
charge against them. Sp far as our
men are concerned, I will see that they
get what is their due, no more, no
less.”
Melvin W. Sheppard, Charles Bacon,

were among the athletes suspended,

that the decision given out was not the

in the decision, he said, to show con-
clusively where or how scalpers ob-

Special to The Tribune.
Washington, Dec. 29.—Friends in
Washington of a comprehensive policy
for river and harbor improvements,
and there are many such in the halls
of legislation, have become somewhat
skeptical over the position taken by
Mr. James J. Hill, who, in an inter-
view, was severe in his denunciation
of the bond issue of $500,000,000 en-
thusiastically indorsed by the recent
convention of the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress.
Mr. Hill,, speaking of ,th<
mended bond issue, said:
“It is a reckless, foolish and I may
almost say, a criminal policy. When
we arrive at the subject of appropria-
tions, at. the question of how and to
what,, extent money, shall be. provided
for the vast undertaking, we .have
touched the vital nerve center of any
large, enterprise and, the. danger point.

Against the opposition of Mr. Hill,
who sees in the bond issue a “reck-
less and foolish . policy,” stands the
strongest kind of indorsement of a
bond issue 'by President Roosevelt,
Vice President Fairbanks, President
Elect Taft, Andrew Carnegie, Champ
Clark' and a host of representative men
both in and out of congress.

address before the second

New York Fanciers Are Exhibiting
About 10,000 Birds.
Special to The Tribune.
New York, Dec. 29.—Warbles and
cackles of nearly 10,000 songbirds and
barnyard fowls echoed through Madi-
son Square Garden today on the occa-
sion of the opening of the twentieth
annual exhibition of the New York
Poultry, Pigeon and Pet Stock associa-
tion. The main floor of the big build-
ing is given over to a great display of
fancy-bred chickens, turkeys, ducks and
geese. On platforms built around in-
side of the building are bantams, pig-
eons, rabbits and other animals whose
delicate constitutions and aristocratic
pedigrees will not allow of their mixing
with the more common element on the
floor below. The display of foreign
birds this year is considerably larger
than usual.

Interrupts Figlit Between Bird and Cat

New York, Dec. 29.—A lusty young
eagle probably from the Catskill moun-

last evening, where it engaged in
combat with a cat in the rear of
butcher shop over some meat scraps. A
boy in the.shop hearing the cat’s cries
dashed out and caught the bird, by
throwing a sweater over its head. Fol-
lowed by a cheering crowd of 200 chil-

nearby police station. It- will be given

c.iajly true of dur waterways,
have neglected our waterways more
than any other natural resource, and
we, must put an end to that neglect.
First, let us prepare a comprehensive
plan for inland waterway develop-
ment. Such a plan must consider
every use of the waters; it must put
the interests of all the people in ad-
vance of any private interests whatso-
ever; Second, let us proceed imme-
diately with the construction of the
waterways for which plans already
have been approved, and which we are
now certain will fit into the outlines
of the general plan. Our previous
policy of procrastination, delay and
fitful and partial action has borne its
perfect fruit. Our waterways are de-
sorted and in return for our vast .ex-
penditures we have little or no actual

for the rest can be prepared.”
