ANARCHIST SHOT CARVER?
Theory Is That Wealth Made Him
Desired as Victim.

Wichita, Kan, May 17.-Reports
from Pratt, Kan, by telephone are
to the effect that it is generally be-
lieved there that some fanatic i'm
PEELED by anarchistic motives, fired the
shot which wounded Thaddius Carver,
a we'll known banker, at that city. Of
ficers there claim to suspect a certain
man whom they are watching closely
but refuse to give out who this man is.
At present an ultra-Socialistic paper
is being published and circulated from
Pratt and a decidedly strong sentiment
in that direction has developed there,
anarchist talk having been heard there
upon numerous occasions, according to
reports. So far a. known, Mr.. Carver
had no business FOR political enemies
or anyone holding a grudge against
him which would have provoked the
murderous assault.
Mr.. Carver is one of the wealthiest
men in that section of the country,
which lends color to the belief that
some fanatic fired the two shots with
so nearly fatal results. The wounded
man was resting easily and is not con-
sidered in any danger.

Effort to Place Nations on Record for
Concerted Action in Dealing With
Affairs in China.

Misunderstanding KnOX's note
70 Count Won BarnstOrff, the German
ambassador, just made public, is taken
as a preliminary Of an expected eX-
change Of notes among the United
States, Germany, Great Britain,
France, Japan and Russia, which
would be Of immense importance in
placing all those powers on record for
concerted action and common under
standing in the protection Of the in.
tegrity of China
Copies of the note have been sent
to all the other powers named.
There happily has thus lar been
no reason for interference says Sec
rotary Knox, adding that interference
seems improbable.
The note says, in part:
Since the beginning of the present
disturbance this government has from
time to time, as occasion arose, eX'
changed views with the other inter-
eSted powers particularly with
France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan and
Russia, as well as the imperial Ger
man gOvernment-as to what course
was eXped:ent for the protection of
the COmmOn interests. 1t has been
quite clear that all the powers con-
cerned were otherwise one on the
wisdom of maintaining the policy Of
concerted action.
This unanimity found concrete eX.
preston in the Identical note present
ed by the representatives OF France,
Great Britain, Germany, Japan, Russia
and the United States on December 20.
1T is evident to this government
that all the powers have up to the
present, by common consent, not only
refrained from Independent action and
from intervening in China's internal
affairs, but have acted in full accord
with their mutual assurances that
they would respect its Integrity and
ooNCiS-3hLJ.
IF, however, contrary'to all expecta-
tons, any further steps should prove
necessary, this government is firm in
the conviction that the policy OF con-
certed action, after full consultation
by the powers, should and would be
maintained, in order to exclude from
the beginning all possible misunder-
standings.
Moreover this government has felt
it to be a corollary of the policy Of
strict neutrality hitherto pursued by
common accord with respect to loans
to China to look with disfavor upon
loans by the nationals (banks) unless
assured that such loans would be OF
neutral effect as between the contend
/ ing factions. It also has felt that 1t
! was an occasion where there might
be invoked with peculiar appropriate
ness the principle of the lending gov
ernments lettering their nationals
from making loans not approved as to
their broad policy by their own gov
ernments in consultation with the
other interested powers"

know for twenty years what kept her
i'll. writes to tell how she won back her
health by quitting coffee:
q am 81 years DID," she says, "have
used coffee all my life, and for 20
years suffered from Indigestion and
insomnia. Life was a burden and a
drag to me all the time, and about
once a year my ailments got such hold
upon me that | was regularly sick In
bed for several weeks each time.
II was reluctant to conclude that
coffee was the cause Of my trouble, but
am thankful that l found out the
truth.
Then / determined to use Postum
exclusively-for a week at flrst--for /
doubted my ability to do without COT
fee for any length of time. / made
the Postum carefully, as directed, and
before the week expired had my re-
ward in perceptible increase In
strength and spirits.
Seeing the good that my short ex-
pertinent had accomplished, | resolved
to continue the use Of Postum, cutting
out the coffee entirely. This | did for
nine months, finding, daily, increased
cause for qualification at my steadily
improving health. My indigestion grad
ualy left me, my sleep returned,
gained 26 pounds in weight, my color
changed from sallOw to a fresh, rosy
hue and life became blessing.
Then | thought / would try coffee
again, and did so for few weeks. The
punishment for deserving my good
friend, Postum, was return of my old
troubles.
That taught me wisdom, and | am
