BIG CROWD HEARS VERDICT
Bailey and His Followers Aid Old
Guard Republicans in Accused
Senator's BehaIf-6itter Con-
test Comes to End.

Washington, D. C.-The senate
of the United States decided by a vote
of 46 to 40 to retain in its fold VIII
liam Lorimer of Illinois. The de-
cision followed the most acrimonious
and extended contest of the kind in
the history of the country.
With 40 senators convinced that
Lorimer's election had been brought
about by fraud and corruption, and
appealing up to the very last minute
against retaining him on the ground
that the welfare of the country was
at stake, the majority calmly accepted
him.
Senator Cullom of Illinois voted
against the Beverage resolution to
unseat his colleague.
The Lorimer support came entirely
from old guard Republicans and from
Democrats of the faction with which
Bailey Of Texas is powerful.
The only Republicans ordinarily
known as conservatives who voted
against Lorimer were Burton, Smith
of Michigan, Root, Lodge, Nelson
(who is a near-insurgent), Sutherland,
Warner and Young.

HONEST CONFESSION
A Doctors Talk on Food.

There are no fairer set of men on
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and manly
admission Of the fact.
A case in point Is that OF a practi-
toner, n of the good old school, who
lives in Texas. His plain, u~nvarnished
tale needs no dressing up:
Il had always had an intense preju-
dice, which I can now see was W
rantable and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised foods. Hence, I
never read a line of the many ads of
GrapeNuts, nor tested the food till
last winter.

health, and visiting my youngest SON,

est little boys / eyer saw, / ate my
first dish of Grape-Nuts food for sup.

PEARY ADVANCED IN RANK
House Approves Measure Making Can

Be Bestowed on Explorer.

Washington, d. C.-Plans of the
friends of Captain Robert E. Peary to
get congressional recognition Of his
polar achievements progressed rapidly
when the house, by a vote of 154 to
"a, passed an amended senate bill ac-
cording him honors.
The original senate bill authorized
the president to appoint Peary a rear
admiral in the navy, to be carried as
an additional number in grade and
to place him upon the retired list at
the highest pay in the grade.
The house amended this so as to
authorize the president to place him

civil engineers with the rank of rear
admiral, to date from April 6, 1909,
and SO as to tender the thanks Of
congress "for his Arctic explorations
resulting in reaching the north pole"

A Woman,s Letter.

Women, it is generally admitted,
write better letters than men.
M. Marcel Provost has discovered
the eason for this superiority. THE
obvious meaning is never the one we
should read into a woman's letter.
There is always a yelled meaning.
Woman makes use Of a letter just
as she employs a glance or a smile,
in a way that is carefully thought out,
and with an eye to effect. And, after
all, does a woman's hat serve to cover
her head? Does a woman's parasol
keep off the sun? Why, then, should
a woman's letter serve to convey her
real thoughts to the person ad-
dressed, Just like the letters of some
honest grocer, who writes, I send you
five pounds Of coffee because he
really does send you five pounds of
coffee"

Mexico City.-It is understood here
upon high authority that Henry Lana

minister plenipotentiary to Mexico,
has been recalled and will soon move
from the republic. Wilson now is Wis
lting in the United States.
Many remarks have been attributed
to Ambassador Wilson that would
tend to create an unfriendliness for
all Americans in Mexico, and the
Spanish newspapers of the country
frequently have attacked Wilson's
policies and utterances, and declared
that friendship between the United
States and Mexico had degenerated
into mere diplomatic politics,

MEXICO Negotiations ON
PROTECTION SOUGHT FOR Dixie

On Result Depends Whether United

Washington, D. C.-The question
Of the necessity of sending United
States troops across the border line
into Mexico to protect the American
dixie, which is being constructed
along the Colorado river in that coun-
try, will be decided by the outcome
of negotiations now in progress be-
tween the United States and Mexico.
The two governments, it was
learned at the state department, are
exchanging notes regarding the ade-
quate protection of the engineering
work, but officials here are ~reticent
as to whether or not a request has
been made to Mexico for permission
to send American soldiers into Mexi-
CO for the purpose.
AS an alternative proposition it is
understood the suggestion has been
made that the workers on the dixie
be sworn in as deputies to guard it
from possible depredations.
