Board OF Charities to-day the conditions at tho
House OF Refuge for Women at Hudson were
considered. Having confidence in the ability
OF the managers to restore order at the insttu-

An American Citizens Claim for Indem-
nifty Must be submitted in Arbitration.
WAsHINGToN. Oct. 1.-THE United States
Government has undertaken to settle a little
International affair which will probably not re-
suit in any resort to force. although that con-
tingency is not improbable. This incident
concerns the Government Of Guatemala and an
American citizen OF the name OF May. A con-
tract to build railroad. in which May was Pc
cuniarily concerned. was awarded by Guate-
mala. but tho award was aftsrward revoked.
May contends that he had been illegally de-
priyed of his rights under the contract. and
filed 4 memorial with the State Department
demanding indemnity OF Guatemala. This
was in 1913. and the case. like many others Of
American citizens who have Fl led ella mi ga inst
Latin American countries. has dragged along
without prospect Of settlement. The State Do
partment has decided that Guatemala must
pay indemnity to May. and in order to bring
the case to a close. has instructed W. Godfrey
Hunter. minister to that country. to demand
that the Guatemalan Government consent to
an arbitration OF tho amount to which May is
entitled. The United States Government
insists that Guatemala is liable for the amount
OF Nays claim.

Reims. who was found to be suffering with
pneumonia, was taken to tho hospital with
the elders, The doctors applied the stomach
pump to the three adults. but were unable to
detect anything in the contents OF the stomachs
of an injurious nature.
The symptoms appeared to be those OF acute
gastrtis. and in the opinion Of the doctors it
had been induced by lead from the can which
contained the fish. All three recovered yester-
day morning and Rems and his brother were
able to leave the hospital. Mrs. Reims will not
be out OF the hospital for several days.
