Am END POISON REGULATIONS.
City Solicitor Offers Suggestion to
Improve the New Ordinance.

The City Solicitor, Mr. A. B. Duvall, has
reported to the Commissioners that he has
duly considered the draft of bill TO regu-
late the sale Of poisons in the District of
Columbia. This bill was prepared recently
by the Health Officer. Mr.. Duvall states
that he sees no legal objection TO the bill,
which is quite stringent in its provisions,
and with the exception of penalties for its
violation, he says, appears to be in good
form.
Mr.. Duvall recommends that the draft
of the bill be amended by the insertion of
the following after section 5:
ANY person or persons violating any of
the provisions of this act shall be deemed
guilty of misdemeanor and shall upon
conviction thereof be punished by a fine
not exceeding 500 or Imprisonment not
exec eding six months or both such fine
and imprisonment in the discretion of the
court. Prosecutions under this act shall
be in the Police Court of said District on
information in the name Of the District of
Columbia by its City Solicitor or one of
his assistants"

BILE turn.
The bullet from Attorney Ashby's re-
volver, which was a 80 calibre. pIowed
its way through the longest diameter of
Mr.. Mary's liver leaving a large hole
and penetrated the kidney
Since operation at the hospital. the
condition of the patient has been directly
the opposite to what doctors looked for.
There has not been one unfavorable
symptom. Instead of high fever, there
has been practically none.
The patient has been conscious and
rests easily. apparently sleeping well.

MADE THREAT
TO MEXICO.
Chile's Action Practically
an Ultimatum.
WOULD BREAK OFF RELATIONS.
Delegates Declared They Would Not
Only LeaVe Pan-Amcrican Confer
Intercourse If Compulsory Arbi-
trntion Plan Was Not Withdrawn.

CITY OF MEXICO. Jan. 2-The arbi-
tration crisis is occupying the absorbed
attention Of all delegates to the Pan
American Congress. 1t seems that Chile
went further than merely 10 threaten TO
leave the Congress. Her delegates also
threatened TO break diplomatic relations
with Mexico unless that Government sue
cceded in preventing the presentation of
the supplementary treaty Of obligatory
arbitration TO the conference.
Ncxicnns Offended.
This unquestionably much offended the
MeXicans. President DiaZ expressed TN
mistakably his surprise and displeasure.
1t is hardly clear to say exactly what
the Chileans expected the Mexicaas "a do
The Mexican Government, c. course,
cannot accept what practicaliS afl.ounts
to Chilean dictation. The general i'm
preston among delegates is tfat Chile
made a serious mistake in delivering
what was tantamount to an ultimatum.
When Chile made the bluff Mexico was
obliged TO call it,
There is much discussion concerning
what Will happen in case Chile carries out
her threat to leave the conference. The
general opinion is that it will not disrupt
the conference, although it is not denied
that it would have bad effect.
4 Chilean Explanation
Chilean delegate said today in expIa-
nation of the threat TO break diplomatic
relations that when Chile accepted the in
vitation to attend the conference she

sured that nothing offensive would come
up. Chile then received through Ambas-
sador Clayton here a written assurance to
that effect.
Now Mexico, far from endeavoring to
prevent this offensive action actually
headed the movement for obligatory ar
bitration.

SEEKING NEWHOUSE HERE.
Father of Missing Young Man Calls
Washington Police.

Col. s. NJ. Newhouse, father of Charles
H. Newhouse, the young Virginian who
disappeared mysteriously on Christmas
morning, after parting with his friend.
Nathan Affelder. at Howard and Balti-
more Streets. Baltimore, came to this city
yesterday to ask the local police to
search for his SON.
All day yesterday Detectives F'lather
and Peck made enquiries about hotels. the
theatres. and elsewhere, in an effort TO
find traces of young Newhouse, but were
unsuccessful.
Colonel Newhouse. who is a member of
the Virginia House of Delegates is deeply
distressed over his sons disappearance.
My son has vanished as utterly as
though the earth had opened and swal-
lowed him." said he yeste. day. From the
time he left Mr.. Affelder. with whom he
had visited one of the theatres, no one
has seen him."
The theory that Newhouse, after part
ing with Affelder. committed suicide. is
not entertained by his friends, nor even
by the police, as there was no motive for
such an act. 1t is belieyed he met with
foul play, probably in Baltimore.

large enough to accommodate the COM

palms and exotics that bedged the walls
and filed the window recesses and man

The table, spread with linen from the
looms Of Porto Rico. was abloom with
pink begonia, arranged IN a succession Of

shades.
Carnations for the Guests.
At each plate were pink carnations; a
corsage cluster fer the ladies and sin
gle flower for the men.
The small reception parlor to the right
of the vestibule was transformed into a
cloak room for the ladies, and racks were
placed outside nearby for the gentlemen.
This innovation must have been pleasing,
for heretofore cloak rooms have been
improvised on the second floor.

The President and Mrs. Roosevelt hav-
ing greeted their guests in the East
Room, the former took Mrs. Root in j
dinner, while Mrs. Roosevelt was escort

senator CuIiOm Will Further Them
Whenever "COnsistent."
Senator Cullom, the new chairman OF
the Committee on Foreign Relations. says
he will take occasion at an early day to
ascertain the sentiment of the committees
and the Senate regarding the pending rec
iprocity treaties.
Mr.. Cullom is in favor of their ratifica-
tion, but admits that he has not yet
sounded the committee on the subject. He
thinks Congress should pass no tariff re-
vision law, but that reciprocity arrange
ments should be made wherever it can be
done consistently.
Senator Cullom hopes to see The pur-
chase of the Danish West Indies COM
pleted so that the necessary treaty for
their transfer to the United States can be
negotiated and acted upon during this
session.
