BELGIAN CONSUL
!. IS UNDER ARREST
IN MEXICAN TOWN
Rebels in Yucatan Showing
Activities to Alarming
Extent.

The Belgian consul at Merida, in the
state Of Yucatan, Mexico. has been ar
rested by rebel forces. according to ad-
vices received by the state Department
today. The cause Of the detention OF
the foreign consul Is not known. other
reports indicate that rebel activities
are growing to an alarming extent In
the state OF Yucatan.
The United States will not use its Of
fees for the release Of the Belgian con-
sui unless the Belgian government
makes q request OF that nature. II the
Belgian government intimates, how
ever, that either the United states must
continue It's fatherly attitude toward
the unruly children of the Mexican
republic or II will take affairs into its
own hands, this Government will take
up the question through the embassy
at Mexico City.
Rebel activities in the state Of Mexico
and Of Morelos are reported. The nor
thern part of the country is unusually
quiet. Conditions In Jalisco are also
reported more quiet.
The decision OF the War Department
to treat Mexicans arrested on the bor-
der as military prisoners, and, there
fore not amenable to the action OF
civil courts, Is expected to have q
salutary effect upon rebel leaders who
make plans and preparations for carry
ing them out Several Mexicans have
sued out writs OF habeas corpus after
being arrested on American soil, and
have obtained their freedom after ar.
rest.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win the
PEOPLES Confideaoe

Have you ever stopped to reason why
II is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop
out of sight and are soon forgotten?
The reason is Tain-the article did not
fulfil tho promises of the manufac-
turer. This applies more particularly
to a medicine. A medicinal prepara-
ton that has real curative value al
most sells itself, as like an endless
chain system the remedy is recommend
ed by those who have been cured, to
those who are in need of It.
In an interview on the subject a
prominent local druggist says Take for
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend. for
in almost every case II shows immedi-
ate results, as any OF my customers
testify. No other kidney remedy that
! know of has so large a sale"
The success of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root IL due to the fact that II fuiils
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver,
and bladder diseases. corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
A free trial bottle will be sent by
mail. absolutely free. Address Dr. Kill
mer & Co, Binghamton, n. Y, and

IS FLOOD DAMAGE
AN ACT OF GOD3
Question Is Put Up to Supreme
Court by Columbia River
Contractors.

The Court of Claims was today called
upon 10 decide whether damages by
flood are "an act OF God" and, II so.
whether the Government or the con-
tractors who were doing business for 1t
should make good the losses ensuing.
John G. and I. NJ. Day. California con:
tractors, are seeking to collect $52, 45S
which they claim to have spent In pro-
tecting improvements on the Columbia
river. Oregon. from being destroyed by
Hoods In the year 1904.
They were building canal to cir
cumvent the Cascades on the river. and,
In the course of their operations. a
tlood arose which threatened to destroy
improvements along the river correlated
with their operations.
Army engineers ordered them to build
abutments and construct such other
necessary work to keep the waters
back Then the War Department de-
cided that It could not reimburse them
Tor the extra amount OF money spent,
and that they were entitled only to the
sum for which they originally contract
ed to do the work. Counsel for the con-
tractors and the Government solicitors
made a lengthy argument, and the court
took the case under advisement.

The remarkable elevation

the practical lines on which
they are planned and the per-

These homes are of a
modernized Colonial design.
They are of pressed brick

a very few ready for immedi-

TIME time is growing limited
when we will be able to Of
%" fer you one Of these 18th
and Perry street homes, for the
simple reason that there will soon
be no more homes here to sell.
This means not only no more Of
the homes that we are selling, but
no more homes at all, for. the sale
of the last one Of these homes will
mean your last opportunity to buy
in this immediate locality--and you
know the character of this section
of the city. Columbia Heights is
one of Washington's show places
in a residential way, and 18th and
Perry Streets is close to fashion
able Park Road-a part of the
Park Road section. The l4th Street
car line affords the best transpor-
tation service enjoyed by any Sec
ton of the city-the cars are-the
best and the schedule is excep-
tional.
An inspection will impress you
with the distinctive difference Of
these homes. The front and rear
lawns are larger than the average
lawn OF such home. The floors
are hardwood upstairs, as we'll as
downstairs, instead OF only on the
lower floor. There are two Are
places Zone in the parlor and the
other in the dining ROOM, instead
of but one fireplace. There are
four porches, instead of one porch.
And so it is throughout the entire
house, inside and outside.
$500 is all the cash required. The
balance may be paid in monthly in
stallments of S38, on exactly the
same basis as you are now paying
rent-only these $3s payments are
buying your home, instead of rent
receipts.
TO INSPECT-Take any 18th
street car going northwest. Get off
at l4th and Perry streets, and you
are right at the properties.
The Washington times., 1912-10-29

Another feature of this home is
tine quality of the fixtures end TRIM
mings throughout the entire six
rooms and bath.
A cash payment Of but $3.50 will
give you immediate possession and
ownership. There is then but
$4,000 to pay, with the privilege of
your doing so in amounts Of only
$3.50 per month, the full pur-
chase price being but $3.50
