DISCOVER PLAN To
KILL ROCKEFELLER
FOREST HILL UNDER GUARD BE.
CAUSE OF coNvE 9sATIoN
OVERHEARD.

Cleveland, O., Dec Acting upon
information given by a man who said
that he overheard conversation IN
which plans to assassinate John ID.
Rockefeller were discussed, East
Cleveland police guarded Forest Hill,
the oil magnate's home.
Several suspicious men were or
dered away from the place. The po-
lice of Cleveland and other towns are
investigating the alleged plot.
The information was given by Saw
yer smith Of Minerva, o., who de-
cIares he heard the plot being dis
cussed by two men at Alliance, o.,
sunday night.
Smith said he overheard the two
men in subdued conversation in an
alley. He says he heard one say that
the death of Rockefeller would be
worth thousands of dollars to person
named.
Guard Forest Hill.
Smith at once took the matter up
with the chief OF police at Canton,
who in turn sent Smith to Chief Koh-
Ter OF this city with letter Of rec
1nmendation Kohler referred Smith
TO Chief of Police Stamberger OF East
Cleveland, in which village Forest
Hill is located. Chief Stamberger
communicated with Rockefeller ana
Forest Hill was guarded Monday
night.
Chief Stamberger said he drove two
suspicious characters away from For
est Hill during the night. No ar
rests were made.
Sawyer smith, who is i lumber
dealer, said that while visiting in All
lance Sunday night he accidentally
came near two men near a railway
track. Smith soon learned that the
men were plotting against Rockefeller,
and that they were to be paid well
for either killing or kidnapping him.
Easier to Murder.
1t was agreed by them that it would
be easier to kill AMI the reward
would be the same. Smith says. 1t is
believed that owing to this warning,
Rockefeller decided not to attend a
church banquet at which he was to
have spoken last night.
Extra precaution was used iy the
Cleveland police yesterday afternoon
in guarding Rockefeller at the East
One Hundred and Fifth street station
when he departed for his New York
home.

Future Possibilities of Great Harbor
Will Be Shown Chief Executive Be-

SAN PEDRO, Oct. 9.-The future
possibilities of San Pedro harbor will
be shown to President Taft Monday by
men thoroughly familiar with the sit
uation here. The one great factor in
the visit of the president to Los An
geles will be to give him first hand a
clear conception of the worlds harbor
which is to be built here during the
coming few years.
To this end the first stop madeI in
Los Angeles will be in that portion of
the greater city formerly known as
San Pedro. The honor of first welcom-

the people of this portion of the city,
who at 8 o'clock can see him, his party

with the need of immediate action for
the benefit of the present shipping and
the great commerce which soon will be

Nervous Dyspepsia
And NeuraSthenia
Weakness of the Nervous System
Often Dependent Upon Long
Continued Indigestion

NEURASTHENIA, also known as
nervous exhaustion" nervous debil-
ity' and nervous prostration," is a
disease which in these modern, stren-
uous times is becoming more and more
prevalent 1t is a condition in which
there is more or less marked and per-
slstent loss OF energy, together with
considerable irritability.
Persons who suffer from this trouble
are easily excited and irritated; can
not do as much work as formerly, and
in attempting any mental effort,
quickly become confused and are un-
able to concentrate the attention. They
also complain of insomnia, nervous in
digestion, depression of spirits and
palpitation of the heart.
There is a general muscular weak
ness; the person cannot walk very far
and tires quickly on attempting ply
sical exertion. There is ringing in the
ears; blurring of eyesight; headache
and vertigo; specks floating before the
eyes and a general restlessness. The
ability to sustain prolonged intellectual
effort is interfered with and the patient
imagines he is losing his memory.
Neurasthenics continually watch for
new symptoms, unconsciously eXag
gerate the old ones, attaching undue
importance to them. CauSeleSS fear is
often suffered from; a dread of some
impending danger; extreme Pessimism;
dark forebodings and hysteria. Sleep
is not refreshing and the person feels
much more tired in the morning than
at night. Horrible dreams and night
mare are usually complained of.
But by far the most prominent man
Hesitation of NEURASTHENIA is
NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA. in nearly
every case this disturbance OF the
stomach dominates the complaint.
Cause and effect may be transposed
and dyspepsia may be the result of
Neurasthenia, but oftener indigestion
is the original cause of the nervous
condition. The nerves are simply
STARVED" because the stomach does
not digest the food properly, and as
the nerves are dependent upon the
food which the blood absorbs from the
stomach for their sustenance, any de-
privation thereof Is sure to cause nerve
weakness
The use of nerve tonics" in this
condition is a mistake; they merely
stimulate, but do not rebuild nerve
tissue. Completely digtsted food Is tho
only true nerve builder and strength
cner; and in the treatment of nervous
exhaustion one should first cure the
nervous dyspepsia, which is usually
the The origin Of the trouble, by taking
STUART"S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS in
doses of one or two after each meal,
or whenever needed, and the long train
of nervous symptoms will be cured
along with the nervous dyspepsia.
This celebrated remedy is without
reer in the treatment of nervous in
digestion and, in fact, Indigestion of
any kind. They digest all the food
with great thoroughness and facilitate
its absorption by the blood, which car
ries it to the weakened diseased nerves
and builds them up so that every
symptom of Nervous Exhaustion is
gotten rid of.

HEARING ON TACOMA AND
SEATTLE RATES is HELD
Merchants Testify That Raise in Rail-
road Tariffs Had Shut Them
Out East of Cascades

SEATTLE, Oct 9.-The interstate
commerce commission today continued
its hearing of the complaint of the
Seattle and Tacoma shippers against
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern railroads. in which lower eastbound
class rates are asked.
Merchants of the two cities gave tes-
tlmony as to the restrictions of their
territory by the low rates granted to
Mississippi valley jobbers, and the high
rates charged Pacific coast shippers.
S. A. Nourse, a wholesale grocer of
Tacoma, testified that freight rates un-
favorable to Puget sound made it al
most impossible to compete with east
ern jobbers east of the Cascades.
Edward F. Baxter, a syrup manufac-
turer, said that when he began busi-
ness in Seattle in 1902 the rate on 6u-
ished products to Spokane territory was
25 cents per 100 pounds. The rate hla
since been increased to 30 cents, then
rs cents. He had been shut out o.
business east of the Cascades.

CRANE DOES NOT
FEAR REPRIMAND
MINISTER TO CHINA ON HIS
WAY TO CAPITAL
DECLARES TAFT APPROVES OF
HIS ATTITUDE
Critical Situation In Far East Calls
for a Final Understanding of
Policies, Hence Recall
to Washington
rBy Associated Press J

CHICAGO, Oct. 9.--The Tribune to-
day prints an interview with Charles
r. Crane, the new minister to China,
which reads in part:
Charles r. Crane now on his way
from San Francisco to Washington in
response to a sudden recall on the eve
of his departure for the Orient, has 1T
tie fear of a reprimand at the mana
of the state department.
Replying to published reports that
his recall was for the purpose OF re-
proving him for a too free discussion
of diplomatic relations between TINS
country and China, Mr.. Crane let 1t
be known that what he said on sew
eral occasions since his appointment
was with the sanction and approval
of President Taft.
He is of the opinion that the COM
munication from the state department
which arrested his departure has noth-
ing to do with speeches which have
been suggested as causes OF ofhciaI
displeasure.
Mr.. Crane said in answer to ques-
tions:
81 am in the dark so far as con-
Germs the nature of the recall. 1 got
a brief message from Mr.. Knox di-
recting me to report at Washington
once more before sailing for China.
Conference Demanded
at do not think the summons is for
the purpose of giving the state de-
partment opportunity to critictse re-
cent public utterances of mine.
ut is most probable that things have
come up which necessitated a confer
ence. It is generally understood that
the situation in the Far East is at
delicate juncture.
1.-THE papers have pointed out that
Secretary Knox may wish to advise
against a repetition Of such speeches as
were delivered in New York, Chicago
and other places after 1 received my
appointment.
"Following the receipt of cordial in
vitations to make addresses before va
rious organizations, went to President
Taft and told him 1 did not condiser
myself fit to accept them.
HE told me to go ahead and do the
best l could, and to that end l have
striven.
"Mr. Taft knows that I am in SYM
pathy with the policies to which he has
given his public Endorsement.
LAS 1 left San Francisco 1 learned
that the president had not been notified
of my recall, but he too was in igno-
rance as to it's cause"
