the senior member of the commission,
and one of the directors of the Minis

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 19.-Charles ].
Bonaparte of Baltimore, who has been
investigating the Dawes Commission in
Indian Territory, arrived here to-day.
As to what he learned in his investi-
cation Bonaparte had very little to
say. His report, he said, probably
would be handed to the Secretary of
the Interior within a month, but he
said he did not know when it would be
made public, if at all.
The present Federal administration
is very thoroughly and unsparingly de-
termined TO have all wrongdcers pun
ished," said Bonaparte. This is par
ticularly true of the President. He is

the buggy in which he was found, and
he thinks he must have been drugged,
as he says he remembered nothing
after getting in the buggy with one or
the men.
Later Gilbert gave out a second state
ment, declaring his earlier story to be
untrue. He said he feared he would be
unable to support the young woman
whom he was engaged to marry, and
for that reason had concocted the story
to break off the match.

First Appearance Of DandruR a Forerun-

That such is the case has been conclu-
sively proven by scientific research.
Prof. Unna, the noted European skin spe-
cialist, declares that dandruff is the bur-
rowed-up cuticle Of the scalp, caused by
parasites destroying the vitality in the
hair bulb. The hair becomes lifeless, and,
in time, falls out. This can be prevented.

utmost resolution compatible with
sense and self-respect.
An urgent appeal has reached the
state department from the American
board Of missions at Boston that i'm
mediate steps be taken for the protec-
ton OF the American citizens at Har-
poot. The boards dispatches from
there represent the situation as ex-
lremely grave.
There are at the Euphrates college
at Harpoot fourteen American teach
ers, besides women and children and
property to the value of 100000.
There is an American college at Bel
rut, in which are number of Ameri-
can teachers.
The expressions of Turkish regret
at the attempted assassination of the
American vice consul, which have
been ample and doubtless sincere, are
not satisfactory to the United States.
While this country Is not likely to de-
mand an indemnity it will demand
fun protection for all its officials, and
Turkey may be called upon to salute
the flag. Acting Secretary Of State
LOOMS said:
"The European squadron will pro.
ceed to Beirut, not primarily for the
purpose of demanding an apology or
satisfaction for the attempt on the
.,fe of one of its officials, but for the
purpose of protecting the lives Of
American citizens in Turkish terri
tory. Life and property are In grave
danger All foreign ministers at Con-

The report that William G. Magels-
sen, United States vice consul at
Beirut, Syria, was killed, happily
proves to have been an error An at
tempt to assassinate him was made,
but the bullets fired by his unknown
assailant did not touch him.
The fact that assassination was at
tempted, however, and that Ameri-
cans in other parts of the sultan's
domain are reported to be in peril
owing to another outbreak Of fanatic
ism, Is held by the cabinet at Wash
ington to justify the President in his
determination to permit the small
European squadron to continue on its
way to Turkish waters. The presence
cf these warships close to the scene OF
Turkish outbreaks will not be a men,
ace necessarily and may serve to
expedite the motions of the Turkish
government, which is usually dilatory
backed up by show Of force.
The gravity of the situation in the
Balkans, it is thought. will render
the sultan particularly anxious to pla-
cate and pacify the United States.
There is no doubt that at bottom the
Syrian assassination and the Macedo-
MAN troubles are traceable to the
same cause. Unfortunately the solu-
