WHY WE HESITATE
Arbitration of CoIombia's Claim, Might
Entail Enormous Indemnity.

Washington, Feb. 2I-Whether it
would be dangerous from the stand
point of facing an enormous indemnity
verdict, for the United States to submit
to the Hague tribunal the claims of
the republic of Colombia for the Pan
ANA canal strip is a question which
the house committe on foreign affairs
will consider before making a report
to congress of its Investigation of Co
lombia's claims.
The hearings on the Rainey resolu-
ton urging submission of the dispute
to the Hague continued today. Henry
D. Hall of the New York World sum-
med up the evidence in the case, which
he said tended to prove that former
President Roosevelt took the isthmus
in violation of treaty obligations, that
the Panama revolution was fomented
by this country and that Colombia
was entitled to reparation.
President Taft and the members Of
his cabinet today discussed the Column
bian situation at some length, but no
statement was given out as to any
phase of the matter
Neither the state department nor the
Colombian minister had received any
advices today from Bogota, as to
whether a visit by Secretary Knox to
Carta gena would be welcomed by the
Columbian people. The impression pre-
walls that the reply will be a substan-
tiation of the attitude of Minister Os-
pima and that Colombia will be omitted
from the Knox itinarary.

A Reasonable Plea
For the Stomach
IF Your Stomach Is Lacking in Di-
gestive Power, Why Not Help
the Stomach Do Its Work?
Especially When 1t Costs Nothing to
Try.

Not with drugs, but with reinforce
ment of digestive agents, such as are
naturally at work in the stomach!
Scientific analysis shows thaS digestion
requires pepsin. heterogeneous ferments,
and the secretion of hydrochloric acid.
When your food fails to digest, 1t is
proof positive that some of these agents
are lacking in your digestive apparatus
Stewards Dyspepsia Tablets contain
nothing but these natural elements
necessary to digestion and when placed
at work in the weak stomach and small
intestines, supply what these organs
need They stimulate the gastric glands
and gradually bring the digestive or
gans back to their normal condition

subjected to critical chemical tests at

tain nothing but natural digestives

DOCTOR TO BLAME FOR DEATHS
His Attentions Made Young Wife Dis
satisfied With Home.

Atchison, Kan, Feb. 21-@Although
a coroner's jury was inclined to pro-
nounce the death of Mrs. Walter Carl
son, near Vliets, due to heart failure,
it is the belief of neighbors that the
young wife died from strychnine pois-
oning by her own hand. Mrs. Carlson
was "a years old. Several years ago
while a sister of Walter Carlson's first
wife was seriously i'll she was nursed
by Belle Hill. then a pretty nurse in
St. Joe, and a year or two later after
the death of Mr.. Carlson's wife he
went to ST. Joe and claimed the young
nurse as his wife. But it is said there
was another man paying her atten-
lions at the time, a prominent sur
geon. The theory is that by continu-
ing his attentions the doctor made the
ex-nurse weary of rural life, and that
suicide resulted.
