., March 2S-On the highest authority
,o,,ou4ng explanation Of feature Of the
-, question which has lately arisen is
given:
On tbe report that the American Government
"a sent dispatch to its Admiral at Samoa TO
act IN accordance with the decision Of two out
~ three Of the representatives of the Powers
.ho German Government made earnest repre-
sentation 10 the American Ambassador here An
drew D. White. that the Berlin Treaty requires
the concurrence Of the three Powers. and called
st,ention 10 the dangers which were sure to
arise II there anything like violation on the
treaty. The American Government made
frank and conciliatory answer which has caused
much satisfaction here. II recognized the ne
cessitv ror unanimity upon the part Of all three
Powers under the treaty as a condition Of any
settled policy or permanent action. and declared
tho Admiral was only authorized to act in agree
ment with a majority Of the representatives OF
the Powers in a case Of emergency which abso-
ntev does not admit Of delay but in such a
case the ratification or adjustment by the
unanimous vote Of the three Powers must be
sought at the first possible moment, and no per
,nanent arrangement can he made without such
unanimity.
The American Government II is added, sent
dispatch 70 its representatives. in Samoa to pur-
sue the most friendly and conciiatory policy
toward the German representatives and German
interests. carefully avoiding everything likely to
be risconstrued or to create III Will
In consequence of the stories regarding Ma
taafa having sanctioned sectarian tyranny. the
German Government assured Mr. White that all
its influence would be eXerted against interfer-
ence with the religion Of any sect.
Washington. March 2S-The facts stated in
the preceding dispatch confirmed here. Its
effect will be to allay any fears that may have
been felt that a diplomatic rupture with Ger
many over the Samoan question was possible.
II is probable that an effort will now be made
by the three governments 10 bring about a set
tement Of the matters in dispute. Meanwhile
~ any emergency should arise calling for lmme-
diate decision Admiral Kautz viii support the
majority Of the governments represented. His
orders are intended 10 cover cases where one Of
the representatives Of the different governments
refuses 10 consent TO what majority iavors
where immediate action is imperative.

was learned she eats about pound day.
How Mrs. Carney acquired the starch
habit is not known, but the physician
thinks she did it the same way as small
children acquire the clay habit by biting
slate pencils. They carelessly get in the
habit of grinding off small particles of the
pencil with their teeth At later stage
they scrape off dust from the pencil into
the palm of the hand, and then eat 1t with
much relish. 1t is believed that Mrs. Car
ney probably laid the foundation stones to
her ruin by eating small particles of
starch, then took more and more until the
habit grew to its present alarming proper
tions.
Her appetite is now such that it cannot
be cured, so that in all probability she
will continue eating starch until her sys-
tenn gradually wastes away 1t is not be-
lieved long confinement would help her, as
the previous experiences of physicians is
that once the habit is well formed it clings
to the unfortunate always child that
had the slate-pencil habit wars confined for
several months, according to one of the
medical journals. but at the end of this
time the appetite was the same as ever. 1t

THE STARCH HABIT
From the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
Among the unfortunate fiends in Savan-
nah has been discovered one addicted to
the eating of starch, which 1t Is said is
stored away on an average of pound q
day. The unfortunate is a woman, and in
her desperation to satisfy her peculiar ap-
petite she will, after failure to get lump
starch, chew up old clothes, or anything
else which gives the taste of starch.
The victim of this habit is Mary Carney,
an aged woman, who lives at No. 55S Rob-
erts street. She is being treated by City
Physician Davis, who did not know until
recently that the woman was addicted to
the habit of eating starch. She denied
everything of the kind, giving other causes
for her complaints, but after the physician
had visited her few times he determined
she was the subject of some terrible habit.
She had a rather clayish color, and there
were other symptoms which led the ply
stefan to believe she was addicted to a
habit of some kind
After close questioning recently she ad-
mitted that she had been eating starch in
crude Jumps for a number of years, and
that she could not get along without it.
She told the physician she gulped 1t down
dry, with scarcely enough moisture to ad-

army cutting a path through the groves
two and three miles wide, and moving uni
formly forward. The people who owned
the pecan groves stood helpless and saw
the despoilation of their trees so on before
their eyes. Neither spraying with water
nor the use of smoke or fire made any per-
ceptible impression on the pests, while
fear of poisoning the nut prevented the use
of the effective method of spraying with
poison.
The pecan crop of southwest Texas Is
very valuable element in its commerce.
The destruction of the crop in this vicinity
means a serious loss to a number of people
who make considerable money off the sale
of nuts grown on their lands. This year
1t was expected that in the natural course
of things the crop would be a very heavy
one. And doubtless it would have been
but for the appearance of the caterpillars
Usually every alternate year the pecan
crop is heavy. Last year it was light, and
this was the year for it to have been a
heavy one.
The pecan crop of Texas amounts usually
to $500 900. The nuts are gathered in their
Sabnal, Nueces and Guadalupe river bot
TOMS and bring an average price of 412c
per pound in car load lots, with variation
of 1c per pound higher or lower as the crop
happens to prove plentiful or scarce. San
Antonio alone handles about 200 car loads
at an average price of $1,000 per car. One
firm alone purchases between $4,000 and
$4,000 worth of pecans annually, and en-
ploys 800 people between October Is and
March 1 to shell this vast amount of nuts.
The shelled pecan is extensively used in
the manufacture of confectioneries. 1t
finds a ready sale in the north and east.
and is rapidly working into favor in the
European countries. While this popular
nut is found growing in all of the southern
states and in northern Mexico, it Is at Its
best only in limited portions of the state
of Texas. The Texas pecan is not as large
as the Louisiana nut, but it possesses a
more delicate flavor and has more uni
formly perfect kernel. The Mexican pecan
is more plentiful than the Texas nut and
can be placed on the market for less
money. but because of its very hard shell
and insipid flavor has little demand
San Antonio, the center of the pecan
market is also the pioneer of the pecan
candy industry. 1t is the favorite candy
of the Mexicans, and nearly every impor-
tant corner of the quaint old city forms
the market stand of some old Mexican
candy man with his crude stand, from
which he sells his ''pepitorias'" and
"melacoehe, the two most popular forms
of pecan candy.

ANT|-BOYCOTT
MEETING HELD
Cleveland Business Men Denouee
Strike Disturbances.

Cleveland, o. August 9-Five hundred
business men of Cleveland held an anti
boycott meeting this evening in the cham
Der of commerce rooms, and fund of
$4,000 was started to ferret out the crimi-
nails who are dynamiting cars and creating
discomfort in the city.
In few minutes time not less than 5000
was subscribed and the rest of the amount
will be fully made up tomorrow. The
meeting was largely attended and 1T was
a representative one in every respect Mill
lions of dollars were represented in the
men present. Vigorous speeches denounc-
ing the boycott, strike disturbances and
disorder were made by j. G. w. Cowles and
James H. Hoy. In their addresses they
called attention to the lawless acts which
have terrorized the public, and upheld the
course of Mayor Farley in his measure to
suppress disorder and said it was time
for reputable citizens to unite and restore
peace, quiet and safety to the city. A
committee of three was then selected to
bring about lawful conditions
At the strikers picnic, held at Scenic
park today, Mayor s. H. Jones of Toledo
was the guest of honor and orator of the
day. In his address the mayor said:
I'VE are in an epidemic of labor trou-
bles, strikes, 1ockouts and boycotts affect
Ing widely separated portions of our coun-
try, and widely diversified industrial in
terests disturb the land. The condition
may be fifty characterized as one of in

am here to urge, to plead for, to propose
DIV "a a
remedy for not only railroad strike. but
all kinds of difficulties with labor in every
sort of public utility. There is such
remedy, and only one. The remedy may
be found in absolute municipal ownership,
operation and control In short, the fun
damental cause of the trouble in Cleveland
today is found in the fact that few men
are granted the right of ownership in a
class of property that should never under
any circumstances become private passes-
sion, but should be property of the whole
people,"
