POISONED PILLS KILL
vienna OFFICER

VIENNA, Nov. 21.-An extraordinary
attempt at wholesale poisoning among
military officers here has caused a
sensation.
A large number of officers just pro-
moted to be captains in the general
staff have received sample boxes of
pills through the mails. These were
accompanied by circular recommend
ing them for nervous debility. Captain
Nader took some of the pills and died
almost Immediately. An autopsy re-
vealed the presence of cyanide of potas-
sium. A further investig CATION showed
that all the pills contained cyanide
of potassium in large quantities and
also that many first lieutenants at
tached to the staff, but not promoted,
had not received pills. The circulars
were signed Charles Francis" and
bore a false address.
1t is suggested that the poison may
have been sent out by some disappoint-
ed officer or that the poisoning is an
anarchist outrage.

GOVERNMENT ASKS
SHALL LORDS RULE?
Peers Prepare to Reject Budget
and Force Cabinet to App
peal to People

LONDON, Nov. 21.-The United King
dom is more absorbed in politics now
than for many years, and the coming
week will see the culnination of the
fierce warfare over the budget. The
house of lords is expected TO vote on
Thursday on Lord Lans1owne's resoIu-
tion calling for the rejection of tho
budget.
Most leaders in the upper house will
speak. Lord Roseberryfs effort for the
liberals and that of the earl of Halls
bury for the conservatives are awaited
with the most interest.
Probably the largest number of lords
will be mustered for the vote since the
rejection of home rule. About 450 are
likely to be assembled. and not more
than a quarter of these will support
the budget.
Most of the politicians predict that
when the question goes before the peo-
pie at the general election in January
1T will be impossible to wipe out the
great liberal majority, and that the
liberal government will be returned,
but with a comparatively small ma
jority. The betting at Lloyds is 8 20
in favor of the liberals. Liberal lead
ers declare that the issue is whether
the hereditary chamber shall rule the
country.

Following is an interesting state
ment made by Mrs. j. c. Terwileger of
1920 Church street relative to the new
Cooper theories of disease which are
gaining so many enthusiastic converts
here Mrs. Terwileger says:
Il suffered from catarrh of the stom-
ach for Is years. While l could eat to
some extent had no real appetite and
the food did not seem to give me any
nourishment. Last February / had an
attack of acute gastritis, which caused
me intense pain and greatly frightened
me. l read of the record made by Mr..
Cooper's medicines and determined to
give them trial. 1t was not very
long after beginning the treatment
that / noticed change for the better
Within week the Improvement began
to show itself.
Il became more active, my mind was
clearer and L no longer felt tired and
discouraged all the time. Soon I was
perfectly able to attend to all my
household work without being worn
out and injuring my health more Sc
riously. At present I never have that
uncomfortable feeling caused by gas
on the stomach and my appetite could
not be better. 1 feel 20 years younger

it,"
Mrs. TerwiIeger is one of many
thousands here in San Francisco who
interviewed the eastern stomach
man. during his visit in the city last
spring, and while her statement is not
as extraordinary as that of many 9TH
ers it is fairly typical of the thousands
of cures effected by the noted east
erner's preparations. His remedies
can be obtained at any of the stores of
the Owl drug company here. For the
full eight weeks course of treatment
the price is s5. Trial treatments for
shorter lengths of time can be bought

Stage Favorite Who Became the

Accepts Engagement
Denies Having Found Domestic
Life Lacked Satisfaction
for HOmesickness

Maude Odell has returned to the
stage The inconspicuous and placid
domesticity for which Miss Odeu pro-
fessed to yearn last February. when
she retired from the calcium's radiance
to become the wife of Adolph f. Hage-
mann, wealthy mine owner of this city.
seems to have been but transient in
clination after all. for the former stage
favorite has become member of the
Ye Liberty stock company in Oakland.
Mrs Hagemann, or Maude Odell, as
the playbill has it, admitted last night
that she was back to the stage, and
gave as her reason for her return Be
cause | wanted to-. She denied how
ever, that she had found domestic life
lacking in those essentials that had
b&ckoned her from the stage. So far az
is known, Mr.. and Mrs. Hagemann have
been entirely congenial and the en-
gagement of the popular actress with
the Liberty company was not expected
by their friends. AS matter of fact,
however, Mrs. Hagemann has been in
the Oakland dramatic company for
weeks. although her friends have only
now become aware of her return to the
stage.
WEDDING WAS SECRET
The wedding occurred in Denver
early in February of this year and was
secret affair, surprising the friends
of both the capitalist and the actress
almost as much as the present status
of their affairs
Hagemann is the son of the late
Frederick Hagemann, a pioneer capt.
talist of San Francisco, who left his
son very valuable mining properties in
southern California. He first met Miss
Odell about three years ago, while she
was appearing Herodius in 'Salome"
a the Colonial theater here. He imme-
diately fell in love, but being a busy
and practical man wooed her at inter-
walls when he could leave his extensive
business interests at Santa Cruz to
come to San Francisco. After years
acquaintance the couple became en-
gagged, however, and were married
year later.
DESIRE TO "SETTLE DOWN.
On her return from the honeymoon
Mrs. Hagemann denied the soft i'm
peachment that IT was a desire to darn
socks. as was the case of Margaret
Ellington, her distinguished sister play
er. which led her to forsake the stage
desire to settle down In my own
home and that when she found a part
ner for that home she capitulated to
her yearning.
For some time the couple have been
living in apartments at 1401 Hyde
street, but the home was dark

to DepOsed Dictator

CARACAS, Tuesday, Nov. 9.-For-
mer President Castro. an exile in
Santander. Spain, is accused daily by
government of attempting to foment
revolution against the Gomez
regime.
The continued agitation caused by
the wholesale arrests of Castro par
tisans by the recent sensational split
in the liberal party when an attempt
was made to reorganize it, and by the
near approach of the next session of
congress. which will elect a constitu-
tional president, has stirred political
feeling, causing unrest and uncer-
tainty
Either a serious condition exists in
Venezuela. due to steps being taken
by the overthrown dictator TO wreak
vengeance on President Gomez, or
there is an object which inspired the
government to make IT appear that
Castro is busy conspiring with his
followers. This object, opponents of
Gomez say, is perhaps TO justify
wholesale arrests which have been
made.
Times are hard for Castro's friends
in Venezuela today. Many notables
are languishing in the same prisons
which they once filled with their enc
mics
Many of the best friends of Gomez
believe the reorganization of the lib
eral party now going on threatens
the present administration, and that
at the last moment. congress will
bring forward man to oppose
Gomez Such able and faithful sup
porters of Gomez as General Leo
poldo Baptista, who was the brains
of the reaction against Castro, and

Venezuela, have emphatically refused
to serve in the party organization or

Caruso and tho Wapnerites.

During The earlier days Of his career
Carusos prominence as a great tenor
was obscured by the Wagner cult, then
at its apogee. The followers of the new
craze refused to accept him.
They dismissed the Italian tenor as
crude young person with a loud
voice, capable of piercing screams
which provoked unthinking applause
from the banana vendors and organ
grinders in the cheap galleries. That
he was an artist, that really enlight-
ened persons could listen to him with
out pity and contempt: that, in short,
he could ever hope to take Wagnerian
part and escape with his life from the
fury of the anointed-all this was alb
surdly out of the question. He be-
longed to the dispensation Of circus
music. His vocal cavortings and rude
bellowings were not tit for educated
ears, In word, he was anathema.
The mere fact that any one could I'M
derstand what he was singing about
and could feel the emotions involved
in the music without having previously
long haired wiseacre with piano on
the side--this fact alone excluded him
from the sympathies of the experts.
He did not belong to the real choir.
