SENATE CUBAN RESOLUTIONS
House Will Undoubtedly Accept Them
When the Time Comes.

1t is practically decided that the House
conferees on the Cuban resolutions viii
yield to the Senate and agree TO the Iesolu-
tions originally passed by that body. These
are regarded as less liable to strain and
shock the delicate and diplomatic Sensi-
bilities OF the Spanish government than
those of the House.
Representative HIT, chairman of the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs. says
that never in all his legislative experience
has he seen many petitions on one SUBJ
iect as have flo wed in upon this Cuban mat
ter. They are not machine made, but have
come in all manner of headings and in such
a quantity that they are slowed away in
barrels and boxes. They bear, he says,
every evidence of spontancity and dis
closea widespread and almos tuniyersalsy SYM
pathy for Cuba on the part of the people.
Nevertheless. the great business organiza-
tions of the country deplOre the effect of
the present attitude OF Congress toward in
ternational questions. For instance, the
New York Board of Trade and Transporta-
ton has memorialiZed Congress, suggest
ing that Congress drop interna-
tional questions. and give attention
to the pressing domestic concerns before it.
such as the currency and finances, which. the
board thinks. should be placed upon stable
basis. From Senator Hills point of view
this is distressingly low plane from which
to consider such matters. AS has hereto
fore been stated. Congress will finally adopt
the Senate Cuban resolutions and then
leave the matter forthe further consideration
and action of the executive. ---,. -.-...l5. -

Hon. c. W. AshCom, who had been sfnok

it cured him.
Col. Samuel StouteDer, who would cat

and others have since tried No-To-Bac, and
in every case they report, not only a cure
of the tobacco habit, but a wonderful i'm
provemcnt in their general physical ana
mental condition, all OF which goes to
show that the use of tobacco had been
injurious to them in more ways than one.
All of the above gentlemen are 80 wen
plea sed with the results that we do not
hesitate to join them in recommending II
TO suffering humanity, rs we have thor
oughly Investigated and are satisfied that
No-To-Bac does the work well and is
boon to mankind.
The cost is trfling. and three boxes are
guaranteed to cure any case, or money
refunded One box in every instan stated
above effected cure, with one or two
exceptions. No-To-Bac has a wonderful
sale upon its merits alone, and can he

Cal, today created a sensation among the
claimants TO the Davis estate by filing a

entire estate of many millions among her
self and two daughters, alleging that she

married in Carroll county, Ark, August
IL, 1912, and have two children-May
Isabel, now Mrs. Morrow, of Fresno, Cal,
and Laura A, now Mrs. Calhoun, of San
Francisco.

woman's attorney, that when the gold fever
broke out Davis left her and went to Cali
fornia. After a few letters had been re-
ceived from her husband Mrs. Davis heard
he had been killed, and she married man

California. where she found traces OF her
first husband.

has ASYSTEM OF HIS OWN
English Grammar Taught Accord
to Professor Powells Idea.
No Standard Textbook Used in the
Public SchOols-Mr. Walsh Wants
an Investigation.

The resolution offered in the House by
Mr.. Walsh, of New York, directing the
District Committee TO investigate the
statement that no textbook on English
grammar is used in the public schools of
this city, has attracted general attention.
Mr. walsh, in conversation with Times
representative today, said that the only
information he had obtained bearing upon
the matter, and which had Influenced him
III tine preparation of the resolution, came
from students in the various schools of
whom he had made inquiries OH the subject.
'All the informa lion derived from these
different pupils said Mr. Walsh, was
to the effect that no textbook on English
grammar is used i'll the schools which they
attend. These students stated to me that
Supt. Powell has a system OF his own for
teaching grammar, and, as | understand,
uses il as Il substitute for regular standard
textbooks.
My only idea in suggesting the insu-
tuition of an investigation was to have
steps taken looking to the adoption of teSt-
books On grammar for the public schools
of Washington. DO not care what system
is selected. If Prof. Powell's ideas are
suitable for elaboration into a textbook
system be chosen. My desire simply is
TO have :: regular textbook formally
designated for use in the schools, as is
done elsewhere
Mr.. Walsh has had an extended expe-
ricnCe in matters pertaining TO education,
having served six years as an inspector
of common schools in New York city.
He does not seek to find any fault with
the system of public education in Washing
ton any further than to believe that the
statement repeatedly made that 70 text
book On English grammar is used in the
public schools should be investigated, and
if found 10 Ec true, the defect should be
rcmehied.
Inquiry ct the Franklin school devel-
orcd the fact that the textb book on gram
mar used in the public schools is one pre-
pared by Superintendent Powell, who has
invented a system OF his own for teaching
that study, and that it has been in use

Lincoln, Neb., March 26.-An apparent

County Treasurer Maxey Cobb has been

A shaggy-bearded Individual who claims
to be an Armenian exile has been going
about from house to house in East Washing
ton collecting money for bogus relief
fund, to he used. he claims, by the Red Cross
Society in supporting the needs of the saif-
fering people in those sections of Armenia
which were overrun by the murderous
Kurds. This alleged Armenian wears a
greasy Turkish fez and speaks badly broken
English.
He is not n native of Armenia at all, the
police say, but cranky Norwegian, who
tried some weeks ago to convert number
of colored people in South Washington to
the belief of the Sanyahs in Eastern Arabia,
who claim that the world is governed by a
great winged god, and that his followers,
as rulers to the stars when they die.
Members of the Red Cross Society dis

captured by the bluccoats he will be given
a taste of wholesome labor with pickax OF

LORD CiIvER1'S LANDING
Maryland Society of Colonial

PATRIOTIC ADDRESS MADE
Mr.. A. Leo Knott Tells of the Col
ony's and States Service In Regard
TO the Partition of the Northwest
Territoy and TO Other Great Issues
of Bygonc Days

Baltimore, March 26.-The two hundred
and sixty-secoBd anniversary OF the land
ing of Gov. Leonard Calvert and the first
colonists Oh Maryland soil was celebrated
last night by the Maryland Society or Colo
NAL Wars.
The fourth general court OF the society
was held at the Hotel Rennert, where, after
a business meeting, the members and their
friends listened to an address by Mr.. A. Leo
Knott. Mr.. KDott's address was story
of the territory or Maryland rather than
story OF the government or the people. 1t
was devoted to proving three interesting
points:
That the colony of Maryland rightfully
inCiudtd tue whole of Delaware, much terri
tory adjacent in Pennsylvania and strip
in the northeast corner of West Virginia,
but had been robbed ofthem ythe influence
of " llliam Penn at court and by the vary
ing interpretations put upon the words
head fountain OF the Potomac in the Cal
vert charter.
That the effort of the British government
to wrcst extensive and valuable territory in
the Northwest from the colonies and put il
under Canadian rule had much more to do
with preciptating the Revolutionary War
than is usually supposed.
