| Agriculture James Wilson testified be-
| fore the House committee on agricul-
ture in the agricultural department yes
terday in answer TO critics in and out
cf Congress on his conduct in connection
with reports on the drainage of the
Florida Everglades. Mr.. Wilson has been
under fire of opposing interests and fac
tions in Florida lands and Florida poll
tics First he was attacked for permit
ting to be published departmental re-
ports which doomed Everglades lands and
more recently because he suppressed the
information.
Mr.. Wilson denied that the original
excerpt of the report OF Major J. c.
Wright on the Everglades was given out
without his consent This excerpt was
used for advertising purposes in Florida.

Henry Clay Hall. Later. Mr. Wilson
said. he wrote former Governor Gilchrist
of Florida and authorized the publica-

the opinion that the department had not
made complete investigation Of the
Everglades project on any OF the tea~
lures covered in the reports in eontro-
versy. He dismissed the details of the
rivalry between department experts and
their complainants that they were being

unable to say to what extent stories of

little friend, Representative Clark, who
brought this matter before Congress
said Secretary Wilson. "He said he

Mr. Wilson was asked to repudiate the

was still valuable as far as it is useful."

London, April ALBERT Stanley, sec
rotary of the Midlands Miners fedora
ton. and member of the House of Com
mons, practically announced the end of
the national coal strike in the United
Kingdom yesterday afternoon.
Addressing mass meeting of miners
at Cannock Chase, in Staffordshire, Mr..
Stanley said that it was now impos
sible to secure the necessary two thirds
majority of the miners in favor of con-
tinuing the strike. Mr.. Stanley has ae-
cess to the figures and knows the in
tentons OF the miners federation, which
are not available TO the public. He ad-
yised the miners of the Cannock Chase
district, who have voted against the re-
sumption to work to return to the pits
without delay, and they decided to re-
sumo work last night.
The postmaster-g general, Herbert Louis
Samuel, addressing Populations which
called On him in the House of Commons.
also stated that he was confident the
strike would be declared over when the
miners federation meets to-day. The
fact that King George is leaving tcs
Sandringham to-day to spend the East
er vacation, is regarded as eonfrma-
tory sign that the trouble is at an end.

STOMACH DISTRESS
AND DYSPEPSIA GO
Heartburn, Gas and Indigestion Go Five
Minutes After Taking Pape's
Diapepsin.

As there is often someone in your fam
lily who suffers an attack of Indigestion
or some form of stomach trouble, why
don't you keep some Diapepsin in the
house handy?
This harmless blessing will digest any
thing you can eat without the slightest
discomfort, and overcome sour, gassy
stomach five minutes after.
Tell your pharmacist to let you read
the formula, plainly printed on these so
cent cases OF Pape's Diapepsin, then you
will readily see why it makes indiges-
ton, sour stomach, heartburn and other
distress 90 in five minutes, and relieves
at once such miseries as belching Of gas,
eructations of sour, undigested food nau-
sea. headaches, dizziness, constipation
and other stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long to find
relief from indigestion and dyspepsia or
an out -of-order stomach with the COM
mon. everyday cures advertised that
they have about made up their minds
that they have something else wrong.
or believe theirs is case Of nervous
ness, gastritis, catarrh of the stomach
or cancer.
This, no doubt, is serious mistake,
Your real trouble is, what you eat does
not digest; instead, it ferments and
sours, turns to acid, gas and stomach
poison, which putrefy in the digestive
tract and intestines, and besides poison
the breath with nauseous odors.
A hearty appetite, with thorough di-
gestion, and without the slightest dis
comfort or misery of the stomach, is
waiting for you as soon as you decide to
try Pape's Diapepsin.

CHICAGO. Dec 31.-The hearing
OF evidence In the suit of Mrs. Grace
Brown-Herbert-Guggenheim-Wa -Wahl to
annul the divorce decree from Will
liam Guggenheim. granted In Chicago
In 1901, was completed shortly before
noon today. Circuit Judge Heard in
timated that he would render a deer
sion week from Saturday.
Testimony closed after Samuel Un-
termyer, here from the money trust"
! investigation, left the witness stand.
The man who had subjected ]. Pier
pont Morgan to a grilling examination
week before, was himself criticised
severely by Mrs. Guggenheim- Wahrs
attorney.
Did you suggest to Louis Werner,
Mrs. Guggenheim's attorney, the
grounds on which the divorce suit
should be brought
This question and many similar
ones were ruled out OF order by the
court, who said they were not peril.
nent. Attorney Hart, for Mrs. Gug-
genheim-Wahl, attempted, through
them, to show that Untermycr had
been party to divorce suit, which,
by admission from Mrs. Guggenheim-
Wahl. was obtained by practicing
fraud on the court. Untermyer was
not forced to answer, though he
shook his head violently before coun.
sells objection was made.
Mrs. Guggenheim- -Wahl was not In
court at its convening. Her friends
said she was i'll from nervousness.
She appeared later and looked none
the worse for her examination the day
previous. Compelled to remain quiet
whileN untermyer testified, she regis
tered her disapproval Of what the
New York attorney was saying. She
pouted when no denied the truth o,
her testimony Monday and shook her
head violently.
Untermyer said that Mrs. Guggen-
heim-Wahl was in need of money be.
fore the divorce suit was brought and
that Werner, her attorney, had seen
him several times on that matter.
II never saw Mrs. Guggenheim un.
til two weeks before the suit was
brought and then 1t was when she

That statement was in direct de-

dictments charging murder were re.
turned today by the grand Jury of his
county against DR.. w. B. Craig, vet
erlnarian and A. NJ Ragsdale Of this
city, in connection with the death OF
Dr. Helen Knabe Of indianapolis,
state bacteriologist. who was found
nude, with her head nearly severed,
IN her apartments over year ago.
| Craig is indicted as principal ano
Ragsdale as an accessory after the
fact.
The indictments follow a complete
and exhaustive inquiry into the mys-
terious case which has been in pro-
gress for weeks, during which a de-
tective agency has been active In
gathering and submitting evidence to
the grand Jurors.
The evidence that Is said to have
resulted in the indictments against
/ DIR. Craig and Ragsdale is admitted to
be circumstantial.
H. G. Webster is the head of the
detective agency which was said to
have been employed by club women
friends of the dead woman to solve
the mystery surrounding her death.
Ragsdale, an undertaken, was not
implicated by the detective in the
case until after months OF investiga.
ton when, after a long search, a silk
kimona known to have been worn by
DR.. Knabe late a. night, when she
answered professional calls at her
door, was produced by Ragsdale on a
direct order of the grand jury. A
chemical examination Of piece OF
the silk from the hem of the garment
showed it had been stained with hui
man blood and afterwards washed
with strong chemical solution. The
undertaker's statement Is that the
kimona was found by him or his men
| among other effects in the fiat.
Against this statement, Webster
urged the sworn statements OF Coro-
ner Durham, Miss Katherine McPher-
son and Augusta Knabe and city de-
tectives that there was no such gar
ment in The flat after the discovery
of the body when several exhaustive
searches were made. Webster charges
Ragsdale. with visiting the apartment
at the bidding of the murderer and
removing the lSimona from the body
and with other acts calculated to
cover the crime.
Webster submitted a long report on
the private life of DR.. Knabe and her
relations to DR.. Craig.

end relationship with DR.. Knabe
