Mexico Is Expected to Act Promptly

Mexico Is Expected to Act Promptly.
AS soon as the depredations against
Chinese subjects at Torreon, Mex, are
officially reported to the Chinese min
lister at Washington, who is also ac-
credited to the Mexican government,
he will take steps to protest to Mex
leo.
The minister already has instructed
his charge d'affaires at Mexico City
to make vigorous representations to
the Mexican government in regard to
the reported numbering by bands, of
eight Chinese and the wounding of
three others at Imures, Sonora. The
gardens and stores of the Chinese
there were looted.
The matter was called to the at
tention of the minister by Chinese
residents of Nogales, Ariz., who were
in communication with the refugees
from the scene of the butchery. They
pleaded for protection for their coun-
trymen. 1t is expected here that Mex
leo will take prompt measures to in
vestigate the situation with respect to
the Chinese and offer them all protec-
ton possible in the present disturbed
condition of the country.
No word has yet been received by
the Chinese legation in regard to the
reported massacre at Torreon. The
state department likewise was with
out advices on the subject.
In Central America the diplomats
and consuls of the United States fire.
quently look after Chinese interests
at places where China is not repre-
sented. AS China has diplomatic rep
resentative at Mexico City, however,
the present difficulty is in his hands
and the state department has not been
asked to take any action.

AIRSH|P KILLS
WAR MINISTER
Dashes Into Group Of French
Cabinet Officers.
PREMIER BADLY INJURED
Aeroplane Becomes Unmanageable and
Crashes to the Ground - Premier
Monis Probably Fatally Hurt.

Monis Probably Fatally Hurt.
Henri Maurice BerteauX, minister of
war, was killed, and Antoine Ernest
Monis, premier and minister of the in
terror, was probably mortally injured
as the result of an accident at the
start of the Paris to Madrid aviation
race at the drill ground at Isssy les
MoulineauX, near Paris.
Fifty thousand French people, with
the holiday spirit and in holiday at
tire, awaited the start. The first away
was Naval Lieutenant Conneau. He
was followed by Roland G. Garos, who
in turn was followed by Gilbert. All
were using Bleriot machines. The
crowd was cheering the men who had
got away, when Train, the new avia-
tor, was to be seen approaching the
drill ground with a passenger, Bon
nier, in his machine. He was flying
steel monoplane, built and patented by
himself, and as he circled to try his
motor it was to be seen that some
thing was wrong.
AS Train arose, the premier, the
minister of war and other notables,
not being able to see from the stand
of honor, moved nearer to the start
ing line. The crowd followed The
crush was tremendous, and it was
necessary to call for another squadron
of cuirassiers to ride upon and keep
back the throng.
Train was shutting off his motor
and preparing to alight directly over
the horsemen as they rode upon the
field In order to avoid striking them,
Train shot into the air again. He was
unable to see the group of notabes
just on the other side of the horse
men.
Having cleared the cuirassiers,
Train slanted toward the earth again
and dashed headlong into the crowd
beyond. Minister of War BerteauX was
dead ahead of the machine. The pro-
peller caught his right arm, which he
had raised to ward off the blow, and
in a second had torn the member
from the body. M. Berteaux was killed
instantly.
Premier Monis was buried beneath
the machine and was unconscious
when lifted from the ground. Both
bones of his right leg and all of the
bones of his nose were broken, his
scalp was frightfully torn, and upon
exanination it was found that he was
suffering from internal injuries in the
abdominal region. He was carried at
once to his home
The body of the dead war minister
was taken to the ministry. The torn
arm was sewed on and the body was
embalmed.
Premier Monis is reported to be
bearing up bravely, and though suffer
ing intensely he nevertheless insisted
on signing several urgent state papers
and, although the race was ordered
discontinued, M. Monis commanded
that it go on.

Panama Canal Three-Fourths Done.

Panama Canal Three-Fourths Done.
Uncle Sam" has taken stock of
what has been accomplished at Par
anna after seven years of hard work.
May ended the seventh year of canal
construction by Americans.
Only one-fourth of the great task of
excavation remains to be done, for the
ground hogs" have removed 13S,000,-
900 cubic yards from the line of the
canal. That leaves only 44,000,000
yards to be cut away.
The placing of the concrete in the
locks is more than So per cent COM
pleted, the installing of the lock gates
has begun and 20 per cent of the
filing for the Gatum dam, which will
feed the canal with water, has been
done.
The lock gates are staggering in
their vast proportions compared with
the timber gates of the canals in this
country. Each leaf, of which there are
two in a gate, is feet thick, 65 feet
long and from AZ to 50 eet in height,
there being no fewer tIan 80 of these
leaves. Special hosting machinery has
been installed to place these masses
of steel.
One of the unexpected obstacles in
the construction was the development
of twenty-five slides in the Culebra
cut within a distance of nine miles,
but it is stated that these will not
delay the completion of the canal, as
the earth can easily be removed by
dredges after the water is turned on.

4 SAGE FOR DARkEnINe the

There is nothing new about the idea
of using sage for restoring the color
of the hair. Our great-grandmothers
kept their locks soft, dark and glossy
by using a sage tea" Whenever their
hair fell out or took on dull, faded
or streaked appearance, they made a
brew of sage leaves and applied it to
their hair with wonderfully beneficial
effect. Nowadays we don't have to
resort to the old-time, tiresome meth
cd of gathering the herbs and making
the brew. This is done by skillful
chemists better than we could do 1t
ourselves, and all we have to do is to
call for the ready-made product,
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy, containing sage in the proper
strength, with the addition of sulphur,
another old-time scalp remedy.
The manufacturers of this remedy
authorize druggists to sell it under
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded if it fails to do exactly as rep
resented.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents . bottle, and is
recommended and sold by James
O'Donnell. oo4 F St.; 3oI Pa. ave. Sc.
