CRITICAL IN HAYT|
Reports TO Paris Say Complete
Anarchy Prevails.
MAY BE FORCED TO ACT

State Department Officials Say Inter.
vention or Part of United States Is
One of the Remote Possibilities Of
Present Disturbances.
Paris, April "A special dispatch
received here from Port au Prince,
Hayti, says that the situation there is
extremely grave and that complete an
archy prevails. A dispute is said to
have arisen between General Jules
Coicou, chief of the military district of
Port au Prince, and Camaille Gabriel,
nephew of President Nord, as to their
respective powers in coping with the
situation.
The dispatch further declares that
American warships are preparing to
land troops.
Washington, April 2.-American in.
tervention in Hayti is regarded by
officials of the state department as
one of the most remote consequences
of the present domestic disturbances
In that island. Official dispatches
which have reached the department
from diplomatic and naval sources do
not show, according to information OBJ
tainable, that the situation has
changed materially or become more
grave within the past few days. 1t
is said that no orders have gone from
here directing the landing of marines
from American warships. The gen.
eral order to protect American inter
ests would justify such landing at any
time American interests might be in

Of his affection acquitted in Judge

SOME MORE FOR THE AMATEUR GARDENER
TBy "DOc"1

Since we printed our suggestions
last week, we have received some
very pertinent inquiries as to our
authority on gardening.
Ought tomotoes to be planted in
tomato cans for a roof garden?"
pathetically inquiries one neophite.
II found that planted too many
green peas last season." in despera-
ton, writes another. IF the same
thing should happen again this year,
what can I do to, change part of
them to sweet peas?"
Does celery thrive best in the
CELLAR" asks a third; while one SUBJ
subscriber, torn by a conflict of
doubt, asks if it is positively neces-
sary for geese to be raised in the
same yard with gooseberries.
However, we are not one whit dis
cour aged, and here is some more for
amateur:
Now is the time to- turn your at
tention to your onion sets. 1t is
we'll to be conservative in select
ing your first set of onions. Some
gardeners are extravagant in this
regard and procure sets that do
not fit their gardens A small set
will furnish you quite enough in
terest for the first season and
enable you to judge of your de-
mands for next season. In response
to several inquiries we will say
that there is no likeness between
onion sets and hens setting.
To get the best result with
ground mustard, fill an empty
talcum powder. can with the guam
tity you desire to sow and dust it
evenly over the surface of the
ground. Do this early; then if your
other crops do not come up as
they should, the mustard will draw
them out.
Any good dentiirice will keep
the teeth IF the ka c1aon Apv
dentist will tell you that it is econo-
mical to have the teeth inspected
twice year. Darn your hose as
often as they need it, unless they
are the. kind that are guaranteed
not to wear in. holes for six months.

WILL USE BLOODHOUNDS.
j. c. Hilbert Believes His Daughter
Has Committed Suicide.

Northampton, Mass, Sept. ID
Bloodhounds will be used in the search
for Miss Esther A. Hilbert, the young
Philadelphia girl who disappeared
sunday, according to the decision of
the girls father, j. c. Hilbert of
Jamestown, Pa.
Mr.. Hilbert said tonight that he be-
lieved his daughter must have COM
mitted suicide and that her body must
be somewhere in the woods in the vi
entity of Chesterfield. Mr.. Hilbert
said that he did not believe it was
possible for the girl to have walked a
mile and a half to the nearest body of
water in the broad daylight without
being seen by some one.
The girl had not been well for some
time and her ill health had inter-
ferred with her studying for the en-
trance examinations for Smith College.
1t is thought that worry over her
studies, combined with her illness had
temporarily unbalanced her mind.
