eral days she had been unconscious
and her death was almost hourly ex-
pected. Bright's disease, complicated
with heart trouble, was the immedi-
ate cause of DEATH
Gathered around the bedside of the
noted actress when she passed away
were Count Bozenta, husband of
Nine. Modjeska; Ralph Modjeska and
his wife, a son and daughter-in-law
of Chicago, and DR.. ]. C. Boyd, the
family physician. The fatal illness
of Nine. Modjeska has been a hard
strain on the count and the other
members of the family who have
watched almost necessarily at her side
for month.
The health of Nine Modjeska was
in it's usual state up to two months
ago, when she developed suddenly
symptoms of Bright's disease. From
that time she failed rapidly and
scarcely left her bed after the first
attack. Her physician remained in
almost constant attendance and sew
eral consultations with other promi-
nent physicians were held and every
thing done that skilled remedial at
tention could devise.
Funeral arrangements have not as
vet been announced
The body of the actress will be
embalmed and taken to Los Angeles
where it will lie in a vault for some
time. Later, Count Bozenta will take
the remains to Cracow, Poland, the
early home of Modjeska and there
they will be inferred. No arrange
ments for any public funeral services
have yet been made.
Count Bozenta, husband of Modjes-
ka, talked before her death of the
reasons for the coming of himself
and Modjeska, with others, from Po-
land in 1875. Because of his political
writing he was exiled from Poland
and Nine. Modjeska debarred from the
Polish stage.
1t is believed by Count Boenzta
however, that there will be no hind
rance to his mission to bury the body
of the famous actress in Poland
WASHINGTON, April S.-The de-
cision to take Nine. Modieska's body
to Poland gave rise to the question
whether the Russian government
would permit this, in view of the de-
barment of the actress from her ma
tive land and the fact that the OBJ
sequies might incite a national an
tipathy in the Russian domain. At the
Russian embassay here today it was
said that so far as known here, no
objection would be made by the Rus
sian government to the interment OF
Nine. Modjeska's body at Cracow. II

CASTRO TO

French Government Will Not Allow Ex-
Dictator TO FOment Revolution.

PARIS, April 8.-The French govern
ment decided today to eject Ciprano.
Castro, the former president of Vene-
zuela from the French island of Marti-
nique, on the ground that his presence
there was likely to foment revolution
in Venezuela This decision followed
consideration of a cablegram from
M. Jusserand, the French Ambassador
at Washington giving an account of
his conference with Secretary of State
Knox yesterday. The decree of ex-
plusion will be communicated to Cas-
tro through the prefect of Fort De-
France, where Castro now is.
1t is presumed here that the gov
ernment of the United States, which
initiated the exchanges with foreign
governments to prevent Castro from
establishing headquarters close to the
Venezuelan coast, will prevent him
from making his way to the mainland
on sailing vessel. This course will
leave Castro the alternative of taking
refuge on one of the Dansh west In

dement's of beer as a beverage has
reported that the idea that beer is
primarily an alcoholic drink is erro-
neous, and that beer, when we'll and

tanning very small amount of alco-
hol and a relatively large amount of

Says The Hospital London] in part, in an

merely consists of beverage upon which certain

nutritive alcoholic beverage. All beverages because
they contain alcohol should be regarded in the
