TOMPKINS GETS THIRD TRIAL IN MURDER CHARGE 'Convicted Twice For Killing Humphries Family Two Years Ago Johnstown, Pa.. May 22.—George C. Tompkins, granted a new trial yesterday by JusUce Brown, of the State Supreme Court on assignments of error in Judge F. J. O'Connor's charge to the jury which found him guilty of first degree murder, will undergo his third ordeal in court next month for the killing of -Ed mund I. Humphries. Mrs. Humphries and their son, two years ago. When informed that he would have another chance for life he said indifferently "Yes. I knew all about ft a month ago." and imme diately lapsed into his usual taciturn mood. Tompkins was tried first for kill ing Mrs. Humphries. His attorneys set up a defense of insanity. The jury rendered a verdict of guilty in the second degree. The Common wealth then elected to try him for killing Mr. Humphries, his busi ness partner, and the verdict was murder of the first degree. Six other homicide cases are on the list for Cambria county crim inal court at the June term.

DOCTOR ENDORSES NATONEX AFTER IEST IN HIS OWN CASE "I'll have another box of your Na tonex," said a man of professional appearance, as he greeted the Na tonex representative in Scranton. "You are a physician?" asked the Natonex man, who recognized the caller's profession. "Yes," said the caller, "I am a doctor." "Is this Natonex for a patient?" the Natonex man continued. "No, it is for myself and it is my second box," answered the physi cian, who proved to be Dr. H. D. Sleator, of Philadelphia. "Have you tested Natonex person ally?" Dr. Sleator was then asked, and when the physician replied that he had, he was askea, 'Have you found it satisfactory?" Mgr an swered instantly. "So satisfactory in my own case that I am willing to recommend it to others." When a doctor voluntarily gives a public endorsement of a medicine, then that medicine must have proved its merit to him beyond doubt. Here is Dr. Sleator's statement, given because of its great interest, in his own words: "I saw Natonex advertised in Wilkes-Barre." Dr. Sleator stated. "When I learned that it contained a combination of all of the better known Nature products for the com mon ailments of the digestive sys tem; that it was not a secret prepa ration, and that it contained no harmful element, I decided that it should be an ideal remedy and I de cided to test it in my own case.

ALLIED SOLDIERS FIGHTING IN RUSSIA ARE EAGER TO GET BACK TO THEIR HOMES Although Outnumbered By the Enemy, They Make Up the Loss in Pluck—Have Confidence in Their General Archangel, May 22.—The Russo- Allied force which has been conduct ing the campaign against the Bol sheviki in this far northern region has been outnumbered by the enemy everywhere from two to ten to one. What they lack in numbers, this force makes up in pluck, the pluck that makes them stick under at tacks by superior forces, although they have not much interest in the Russian question and feel, candidly speaking, that the folks at home in Washington and London and Paris are making them suffer the penalty of their inability to make up their minds as to what should be done in Russia. They grumble because they're here, and at the mistakes made by those at home and in Archangel who sometimes don't exactly understand the disposition of a homesick doughboy or British Tommie who is sitting in the snow in a frozen trench where a heavy fur coat makes no more impression on a man's heat ing apparatus than if it were a web of gossamer. But they go on fight ing, just the same. Confident of Leader With all their hardships, these troops have confidence in their com mander. Major General Edmund [lronside, a veteran of several Brit ish campaigns, and a six-footer phy sically, who spends more time at the front than at headquarters in Archangel. They know the General is looking out for them but they don't feel the same way about the folks at home. To march for four or five days over a snow trail, sleep on the cold, hard floors of peasant cottages at night in an atmosphere so thick that one couldn't even pour it. and then to fight all day in fifteen below zero temperature, has been more or less routine for the Yanks up here. They have fought with signal brav ery. when greatly outnumbered, and when support, because of the weath er conditions or the trails, failed POSLI WANTS 10 HELP HOUR BROKEN-OUT SKIN !

"The Natonex began, at once to sweeten the stomach and aid diges tion to such an extent that within a few days I was feeling normal again. The Xature products began their work of eliminating the food waste, gently stimulated the organs to proper activity and toned up my sys tem just as was required. "Natonex gave great relief imme diately and then began to assist Na ture in a general upbuilding and ; strengthening.

"I believe almost any person would be benefited by the Natonex treatment. While effective, it is mild and safe. I do not hesitate to rec ommend it to any one who needs im proved digestion." How Natonex may be taken for the trifling cost of ten cents a day and the results that may be expected from its use by weak, nervous, run down men and women is explained by the Natonex representative at the main store of Geo. A. Gorgas, 16 North Third street. Natonex may even be tested absolutely free. Natonex is sold by leading drug gists everywhere. ito reach them. Nearly two score of the Americans wear British or French ribbons for bravery in action against the Bolshevlki, and more decorations are on the way. The Yanks have gone on, day by day, grumbling but smiling about their hardships. They're not ex traordinarily fascinated by the Rus sian "Barishnas," or young girls, and have a Yankee contempt for males who wear whiskers and kiss each other in the jtreets and speak a jawbreaking, foreign language. They want to go home as soon aa they can. and, to them, it seems that all Uncle Sam has to do to get them home quickly is to send up a lot of regulars and marines and fin ish the Bolsheviki quickly. The point of view of some of the American officers is illustrated by the remarks of one of them to the Associated Press correspondent. i Trained to light Germans [ "H--1," he said, when he arrived | here with other American reinforce i ments last September, "there isn't | any justice, no justice at ail. We've ' been training at home at Camp Cus- I ter for months and months to fight the Germans. And then th'ey sent us up here to Russia, to guard stores, X suppose. The Bolsheviki can't fight, any way, for they're noth ing but an unorganized rabble. We wanted to fight; we didn't join the Army to watch these Russians revo lute." This winter down in a snow-cov ered little, log hut, thatched with birch boughs, on the front, I saw this same young officer, half-frozen despite his fur coat and Shackelton boots, as he waited at the field tele phone while shrapnel from Bolshe vik guns was bursting somewhere around us. H—l," he said, "there isn't anv justice, no justice at all. The war is over in France and we're still up in these blankety-blank frozen swamps, fighting. Why, do you know, I've had only two weeks re lief since he landed. Been fighting ever since." . he ejaculated, as one of trie shells burst a bit close, "getting closer. Those Bolshy artillerymen certainly can shoot." ✓ World Lacks the Leader Needed to Bring It Back to Normal Basis Berne, Switzerland, a Harris wrltes a letter pointing to the seriousness of the situation In Pari*. nroo„ .°H, a world-leader at the present time and warning the United TK 5? i wat ch Germany and study the Russian situation. The letter is one which will show that the writer has Studied some of these thing, and close toeich with conditions wnicti compel one to heed the serious 5.1. B '\ en the entire situation. atX ' e " er follows: "It is rather disheartening when one thinks of the Pr j se .s t state of things in the world and those who should be acting, and acting quickly, but are sitting with t.ieir heads in the'clouds, not heed ing facts and letting the whole world crumble and fall into ruin, from which it will take a century or more to bring it back to anything like livable conditions. What 1s the cause of this blindness? Peris will be the graveyard of more than one reputation, and. un fortunately. our own country is not coming out with flyiDg colors. We are all very much discouraged he-e in Berne. I mean the people of all nationalities, for we see the big things and we see the waste of pre cious time and opportunities. These five months which have been lost can never be regained and each added day makes the outcome more precarious and increases the difficulties of the situation. The one thing people want over here is peace, and. for most part, the League of Nations has a rather red-rag effect. Besides, what is it unless supported by force and unless binding - , which it is not to be at any rate. In regard to American popularity abroad, it is decidedly waning. They all fawr. on us because we control the food supplies to a great extent—but we need not deceive ourselves as to the love that is borne us. As for our statesmanship, well, the less said about that the better, iou know what mv opinion in regard to certain persons has been for vears and I have had no reason to change it. quite the contrary, in fact, and it is time we got ready to pht men in office who do not dream foolish dreams, but have an insight into af fairs, and also who do not pander to the lcwest element of the population "Bolshevism is a terrible fact, and we are not going to suppress it by ignoring it. And we need not think that we are going to keep it out of our own country, especially as the only ones who have the rights nowa days are the laborers. But we are as blind to the Russian situation as we were to the Mexican. Here in Berne we are in such close touch with all these things that we can read the signs. In Paris they are given over to banquets and talk. This is not the time to talk, but to a-t. The papers on this side of the water] as a rule, are criticizing severely this inaction. 'lf peace had been made three months ago. which It could have been, and the details settled after wards, anything to get things back into a more or less normal state, much would have been avoided. But as the Powers have to settle all their own little squabbles, what chance is there of anything. As one man wrote, we may have some kind of peace to sign within a few months, lint who will there be to sign? Do they think they are going to settle things by dividing the world up into petty districts, keeping up a narrow nationalism and by the dictature of the prcletariat? "Take Russia, if you could hear the stories which I have dally put be fore me, stories of murder by the wholesale, despotism—and then think of even a moment's parleying with vermin such as that! And to think too. of withdrawing troops from such a point as Archangel, where not only arc there enormous stores, but which is an important place to hold. We are playing as fast as we can into the hands of the enemy. Look at the state of things In Germany. Don't deceive yourselves with the idea that there is a party which has things In hand there. It has all gone too far for that. "What the world needs now is s great leader, and we have none." Good News of Liverpool's Well-Known Residents Liverpool. Pa., May 22.

Washington, May 22.—Chairman Hays, of the Republican National Committee, announces that no con tribution of more than one thousand dollars would be received from any one for the financing of the coming Republican campaign and launched a plan of country-wide small indi vidual subscriptions. The new plan marks the passing of great contributions from corpora tions and individuals long the sub. Ject of attack by the Republican party's political opponents. The new plan, Mr. Hays announced, involves the decentralization of money raising into the very smallest contributions from the smallest units of territory. The chairman will outline the new plan in detail, at a conference here to-day and to-morrow, with the Re publican State chairmen. "Every one recognizes the neces sity of meeting legitimate campaign | expenditures," said Mr. Hays. "There [ is just one way for this money to | be provided, and that is by means | of small contributions from the great membership of the party. This plan will be followed completely. A gen eral committee of ways and means will carry this work into each State The purpose will be to get smalt contributions from a great manv members of the party. It is the plan to have these sustaining contribu- L'£ D * r . Un , from yenr - v ear, and in amounts from one dollar up. No contribution of more than a thou sand dollars will be received from anv one. Chairman Hays added that the financing of the Republican cam paign would be an open book and that it would accord with the best spirit of the campaign publicity laws of the Nation and the States."
