The Rowena Lee was built at Jeffer-

one of the stanchest vessels on the
lower river and was handsomely fitted
up for passenger trade. She was owned
by the Lee Transportation Company

by Captain Carvell for nearly the en-

direct information from Samoa that
Admiral Kautz had arrived there and
had summoned meeting Of all the Off
Gals for March II. The German an
thorft1es felt sure this meeting would
result in serious trouble. The Berlin
Foreign Office therefore instructed the
German ambassador here, Dr. Won Hol
leben, to present a note embodying
Germauy's views. It argued that a
naval commander had no right to act
save in executing the will of the three
Consuls, acting unanimously and not
through a majority. But, aside from
this argument, the German note init
mated quite plainly that Germany
would hold the other governments re-
sponsible if serious trouble resulted
from the action of the naval authori-
ties in Samoa.
The strained conditions caused by this
note were somewhat allayed by the
answer of the State Department. which
was friendly and reassuring, although
it made it plain that the American
naval commander would act in an
emergency, even though the Consuls
were not unanimous in requesting &C
ton. 1t is just such an emergency that
has now occurred in Samoa.
There is no apprehension here that an
actual clash will occur with the German
civil or naval forces in Samoa. This is
due mainly to the official understanding
that Germany has given positive orders

NJ EW YORK, March 29.-In pur-
IL | suance of resolutions adopted at
vi the Zionist Congress in Basic,
i Y Switzerland, in August of last
year a subscription list was
opened to-day in London and New
York for a Jewish colonial trust, which
is to be established with a preliminary
capital of s10,000,000 to conduct the
financial operations of the Zionist
movement.
The subscription list will remain open
for a month, in which time it is ex
pected the capital will be subscribed
many times over. The trust is to be
known on the continent of Europe as
the Jewish Colonial Bank limited. The
preliminary capital of $40, 000,0 00 which
it is intended shall be increased later
to $50, 000, 900, Is to be divided into 1,999,-
800 ordinary shares of So each and 100
founders shares, also Of S. each. The
founders shares are to be held jointly
by members of the council and their
nominees. and while they will not par
ticipate in the profits of the bank, their
holders will in all matters affecting en-
terprises to advance the Zionist move
ment have an equal voting power to
that of all other shareholders present
at any general meeting. The purpose
of this provision Is to prevent the trust
from being turned from it's primary OBJ
ject, that of aiding and promoting Zion
ism into purely commercial channels
In New York the trust will be repre-
sented by the American Federation Of
Zionists of 20 Broad street, of which
Professor Richard Gotthel Of Columbia
University is president and Rabbi
Stephen S. Wise of the Madison avenue
Synagogue secretary. Applications for
shares should be made to the fedora
ton.
DR.. Wise, when asked to-day about
the company, said that It's purpose was
primarily to finance Jewish industrial
and commercial enterprises in Palestine
and SYRIA after certain restrictions now
in force as to Jewish immigration have
been removed by the Sultan. 1t will also
occupy itself in obtaining the removal
of these restrictions and will provide
backing for several Turkish enterprises.
'"The purpose of the Zionist move
ment," Dr. Wise said, "is TO establish
a Jewish state in Palestine, of course,
under suzerainty of the Sultan, but
with it's stability guaranteed by Euro
mean mowers. The Sultan is friendly
TO the project, for he realizes how much
the wealth and resources of his en-

state. We expect as soon as the neces-

1t is surmised that her visit was the

The captain of the Tauranga before

At first apprehensions were felt that

The real crisis, from an international
standpoint, occurred last week. When
this apprehended outbreak was dis

" strained, it was possible to secure an
understanding which is said to make
sure that the outbreak now reported

there was little idea it would take such

those best acquainted with the subject,
the British and American case will rest
upon the paramount necessity of pre-
serving peace and order.
The German view, it can be stated on
very eminent authority. is not likely
to raise a direct issue on the position
thus laid down by the British and
American officials. On the contrary,
there is said to be a growing DISPOSE
ton on the part of Germany to hold
Herr Rose accountable for the difficult
ties in which he has involved his Gov
eminent. For a time he was sustained
with the natural desire to protect him
in the proper discharge of his duties,
but the German authorities have not
contemplated that he would carry the
matter to an open rupture, with the
resulting bloodshed. On that account
there is good reason to believe that the
German Government will not sustain
Herr Rose and that official information
in that direction has already been con-
veyed.
The diplomatic exchanges leading up
to this crisis have been very sharp
within the last few days. Early last

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN DIEGO, March 29-Bloodhounds
have found the old man who left the
train at Oceanside on Monday after
noon IN a demented condition while en-
route to this city. He has since been
identified by papers found in his pock-
cts as M. K. White of Silver City, N.
M. He was brought to this city this
afternoon by Constable Hubert of
Oceanside. Up to a late. hour his rela-
tives, if he has any in this vicinity,
had not been found, but the old man
will be cared for until taken in charge
by his family.
The search was begun at the request
OF Conductor Clegg of the Southern
California Railroad soon after the man
left the train at Oceanside. The trav-
eler appeared to be demented and his
actions in Oceanside left that impress
sion with those to whom he talked. He
was in that town only an hour or two
before he started out into the country,
and before sunset two conStableS of
Oceanside had been informed by Con-
ductOr Clegg that the man was trying
the way to find him. Their search
Monday afternoon was unsuccessful
and yesterday afternoon they started
out again, taking along two blood
hounds owned by Constable Hubert
The dogs took the scent quickly and
led the officers a chase through the
brush of San Luis Rey Valley and over
the hills in the toughest part of that sec
ton. The trail was almost in the form
of circle. Just before dark last night
the officers saw a man about mile
ahead, and by taking short cut across
the country came up to him in advance
of the dogs.
The terrible experience passed through
by the old man since leaving Oceanside
thirty-siX hours before was shown in
his appearance, his clothes being in
rags and his hands covered with cuts
and bruises He greeted the officers
pleasantly, and, in answer to a ques-
ton, told his name and place of resi-
dence. He insisted, however, that his
home was just beyond an adjacent hill.
He was persuaded to accompany his
rescuers back to Oceanside, a distance
of eight miles, though he had travelled
about twenty in his Wanderings.
The man. who appears to be about 60
years old, had nothing to eat from the
time he left Oceanside until found by
the officers. One of his Authorizations
was that his sDectacleS were in his
mouth, and it was only after an in
spection had been made by the officers
that he came to the conclusion that the
spectacles had been lost and were not
hidden in his mouth. He was brought
to this city this afternoon and will be
cared for. Among other papers in his
pockets was a round-trip ticket from
Silver City to San Diego.

INFORMATION
The Secret of
A Peculiar and
Wonderful Power.
WHY SUCH GREAT
AND MARVELLOUS RESULTS
HAVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHED.

A question that has been puzzling the
minds of not only the laity, but scien-
tific physicians as well, is:
WHY HAS HUDYAN SUCH WON
DERFUL CURATIVE POWERS?
The question is readily explained by
this fact: Hudyan goes to the bottom
of the disease and exerts its curative
influence there.
Many remedies relieve symptoms
only When we take into consideration
that different maladieS present similar
SYMPTOMS, we can easily understand
that such remedies do not cure. The
great Hudyan is unlike such remedies,
for it seeks out the cause of your symp-
toms.
Hudyan contains curative powers pc
culiar to itself. Organic and functional
diseases readily yield to Hudyan's in
fiuence.
Every man or woman who is reduced
in strength will find a powerful restor-
alive in Hudyan.
Hudyan corrects the faults of diges-
ton and gives healthful activity to the
liver and kidneys.
Those persons who suffer from Head
ache, Dizzy Spells, Poor Memory,
SIeeplessness, Irritability of Temper.
Melancholy and other symptoms due
to a worn-out nervous system, will find
immediate relief in Hudyan.
Hudyan is an invaluable remedy for
Constipation, Biliousness, Torpid Liver,
Pain in Stomach, ShortneSs of Breath,
Palpitation of Heart, Coated Tongue,
etc.
Hudyan reconstructs broken down
tissues. 1t attacks impure germs that
gather in the blood, and by stimulating
certain organs to proper activity it
drives these impurities from the sys-
tenn.
Hudyan makes pure. rich blood, from
which come both mental and bodily
strength.

CHANGES IN THE
CATTLE BUSINESS

Just thirteen years ago, or dur-
ing the hard winter Of 1SS5-S6,
the editor Of this paper was en-
ployed on Il cattle rancE in the
northern part of Elbert county,
this state, and WIS with the round-
up in the spring of 1856. That
winter there were large numbers
of cattle, mostly southern, that
died on the rnnge of starvation,
and the losses TO some owners
reached as high us seyenty-five
per cent. The heavy loss was
caused partly by ovcr-cro wding
of the range and lack of feed and
shelter and partly by the poor
the cattle were in when
winter came on. This winter has
been just as severe as the winter
Of 1SS5-s6, but the. losses will
amount to practically nothing IN
his part of Colorado. The past
dozen years have wrought many
changes for the better in the cat
lie business, some of the most
important of which are, better
cattle, handling the stock in much
smaller herds and providing shell
ter and plenty of feed for winter.
As u result the stock business is
substantial and profitable, and has
ceased to be largely speculative in
this locality.-Hugo Ledger.
