MUST OMIT WAR
AS A PAsT|ME

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE state
ment was made at the State Depart
ment that at conference today be-
tween Assistant Secretary Bacon and
the Mexican ambassador it had been
decided that Mexico and the United
States should unite with Salvador.
Costa Rica and Guatemala in making
identical representations to Honduras
and Nicaragua to the effect that they
would be expected to settle their diff
ferences without resort to war and that
the arbitration which was recently ter
minated at San Salvador must be re-
convened in order that the issues be-
tween the two countries might be
peacefully settled
Minister Corea of Nicaragua had a
long conference today with Assistant
Secretary of State Bacon regarding the
situation in Central America.
You may rest assured of one thing"
said Corea. There will be no war be-
tween Honduras and Nicaragua AL
though advices from my Government
are that President Bonilla of Honduras
withdrew from the arbitration at San
Salvador, there are influences now at
work which will avert a conflict
PANAMA, Feb. 1.-THE American
steamship Barracuda left here three
days ago, laden with war material for
President Zelaya of Nicaragua The
Nicaraguan refugees here are happy,
believing that their Presidents down
fall is certain. They hope that Hon
duras and Salvador will give all the aid
possible to the revolutionists in
Nicaragua.
The following dispatch has been re-
ceived from Bonilla of Honduras:
Nicaragua is concentrating a considerable
armed force upon the frontier of Honduras with
out having made declaration of war. We are
assured invasion will take place soon. Hon
duras is ready to repel the movement.

QUESTION is CHANGED

Mr.. Delmas continued to narrate the
events leading up to the Madison
Square Garden tragedy and asked DIR.
Wagner to state his opinion as to the
mental condition of the man who shot
Stanford White.
Mr.. Jerome was on his feet with
many objections. He objected first on
the ground that the question en-
bodied several matters which he de-
clared We're not in the evidence. He
said the evidence did not show that
one of Thaw's uncles was insane but
that he was of unsound mind, and that
Evelyn Thaw did not state that she
was drugged, but that the wine tasted
bitter and that in two minutes at the
outside she became unconscious. Both
of these points were changed to agree
with Mr.. Jerome's demands. He also
objected to saying that White was at
tempting to renew relations with Mrs.
Thaw. He said this had not been
shown in the evidence. Mrs. Thaw had
seen White only twice, and there
was nothing to show that White had
attempted to renew relations. In re-
forming the question Delmas said that
Mr.. Whites cab turned around and
followed her on the second occasion
that she saw him. Mr.. Jerome pro-
duced the transcript of the testimony.
There is nothing in the testimony
to show that both cabs were not going
in the same direction" said Mr.
Jerome; nothing to show that Mr.
White was not building a house in
that street at that time"
After considerable argument the
question was amended to conform with
the testimony. Now, DOCTOR" said
Delmas, considering the question as
amended, what is your opinion as to
whether the man who committed the
act complained of knew it was right
or wrong?"

NEW IDEA OF CONSUMPTION.
Doctor Says Disease Is Primarily De
rived from Cattle.

A London physician, DR.. w. Picket
Turner, who has made first-hand
study of the disease for many years,
advances the theory that the medical
world is attacking the problem of con-
sumption by an utterly false route.
His view, briefly stated, is that tu-
berculosis is an animal disease pri-
marily derived, in all cases, from cat
tie. 1t belongs, he says, to the my
cotic group of diseases, diseases in
which the original source of infection
is plant. Bovine cattle derive tuber-
culosis from timothy and other allied
grasses by natural affinity.
Man acquires the disease by inges-
ton or incubation, never by inhala-
ton 1t is not hereditary; neither is
there any predisposition to it in the
individual. The bacillus in a state Of
nature is saprophyte, feeding on decay
of the vegetable world But the ba-
cillus becomes pathogenic-capable of
causing disease-in cattle when they
are deprived of actinism or the prop
erty of the chemical rays in sunlight.
1t would, If all this be true, become
reasonable to assume that by restor-
ing actinism to cattle the bacillus
would again become saprophyte, in
which case consumption would be ex-
tirpated.

experiments have been conducted by
the wireless telegraph station at Brant

pliers of Chicago's literati, were dis
cussing beliefs, creeds and the like,
at a club table one evening lately
when ALI Sorenson, an Omaha news
paper man, remarked that he had
known men in the west who were
exiles to the far and woolly region on
account of their belief and that they
were not faddists at that.
"What is their peculiar belief? Mr..
McGovern inquired.
"Well, sir" was Sorenson's reply,
they believe they would be hung II
they staid in the east"
"And have known men who could
not get away from home" Richie re-
turned, ION account of the belief Of
their neighbors."
"Yes,?" said McGovern, interroga-
lively.
"They were locked up because
their neighbors believed things about
them"
