Teddy to Go After Wilson.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, May 26.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt has decided to open
up on the Wilson administration be.
fore he sails for Spain on Saturday.
In word he is going to take the big
stick out of its moth ball repository
and make one big swipe at the pres
ent political complexion of the Demo
Gratis.
This will be done either in an inter
view or speech-preferrably in a
speech if the opportunity offers. The
colonel has lost not a moment in pick.
ing up the loose ends of national
events since his return from Brazil.
The colonel's first attack on the vii
son administration will deal with the
project tc pay Colombia $25 900. 900,
the question Of Panama tolls exemp-
ton and the handling of the Mexican
situation. There will be a good deal,
too, in the colonels attack regarding
the Colorado coal mine trouble.
The Underwood tariff bill will un.
doubleday be another point of attack
against Wilson. Roosevelts advisers
have without exception told him that
it has proved anything but a panacea
for the high cost of living and that in
stead of improved business resulting
from its operation quite the opposite
has been the case.

VITAL ISSUES ARE
REACHED AT NIAGARA
Real Business Of Settling Mex
lean Situation Discussed

Niagara Falls, Ont, May 26.-Al
though the mediation conference has
been on for several days only pre-
paratory work had been done until to-
day. Consequently no idea as to
what form a definite settlement OF the
Mexican situation will take can be
even guessed at.
Today the three South American
diplomats began to take up the prac-
teal issues involved No plan for
commission form of government for
Mexico has been even discussed at the
meetings held up to today.
1t was stated on the very highest
authority that the ENJOYS of the three
southern republics have no intention
at any time of going beyond their
task of mediators.
They will not attempt to select any
president or commissioner to govern
Mexico and will at no time seek TO
become legislators on behalf of
Mexico.
Their rule will be confined through
out the conference to receiving the
suggestions of the delegates Of either
side and to submitting these sugges-
tions to the representatives Of the
other side, endeavoring at the same
time to aid to the utmost extent Of
their ability both sides TO reach com
mon ground

MONEY REACHES VERA CRUZ
Million Dollars Carried From Mexico
City Without Guard.

Vera Cruz, May 26.-One million
dollars in Mexican currency was
brought to Vera Cruz by the Mercan-
tile bank to break the attempt of local
business men to force Mexican money
to a premium.
They have been Withdrawing all sill
yer from circulation and have been
holding peso notes of small denomina-
lions, demanding a slight increase for
them.
The money which came down from
the capital was brought by the banks
managing director and three employees
in six dress suit cases. They did not
advertise the fact neither in Mexico
City nor on the train which brought
them here.
They did not travel together and
as each man carried two bags the
six cases were not especially notice,
able.
When they got to the railway break
below Soledad they put their precious
luggage on burros along with other
bags and walked coolly but with some
inward fears seven miles down the
track to the American terminus. They
came safely through without guards
in country infested with bands OF
irregular troops no better than bandits

TROOPS ON WAY TO BORDER
Bands of FederaIs Hope to Bring
About Intervention.

Ell Paso, Tex, May 26.-Flying
columns of federal volunteers, mount
ed, are making their way through
southwestern Coahuila toward the Dor
der with the avowed intention of pre-
cipitating Intervention by attacking
American border patrols when they
reach the international line, according
to private kilograms received by
Rafael Musquiz, rebel consul in Ell
Paso.
One detachment of these federals
has passed through Cuatro Cienegas,
Coahuila, headed northward. Cuatro
Cienegas is about ITS miles south of
the frontier at Eagle Pass, Tex. An
other column is reported marching to-
ward Ojinaga, opposite Preside, Tex,
from the vicinity of Curevo, between
Cuatro Cienegas and the border.
No exact estimate of their numbers
is available, but it is reported that
the three different groups will total
700 or 800 men. The names of their
leaders are not known.
It is reported that these volunteers
are ex-members of the volunteer com
mands under General Orozco and
other leaders who took part in the
Orozco revolution. Until recently they
were garrisoned at Monclava.
Among them, too, are troops who
escaped the rebels after their defeat
at Paredon last week.

TtUO Are Burned to Death
Underneath Wrecked Auto

Portland-George Betz, 697 Will
liams avenue, and Martin McNichols,
of SIG Albina avenue, burned to death
at 80 o'clock Sunday night on the
Canyon road west of this city, one
mile beyond Sylvan, when an automo-
bile driven by Betz caught fire after
plunging over a bank, pinioning the
two men under the front seat. How
ard Franklin and Walter James, col
ored porter, who were riding in the
back seat, crawled from beneath the
wreck before the flames reached them.
Returning from trip to Vancouver,
Wash, Betz met the others in a bar
her shop. The party started on a
ride around town and then out the
Canyon road. Tracks at the scene OF
the accident showed that the car had
swerved sharply and shot into ditch
at the left of the road. The over
turned car was wedged against fence
and was held by tree.
Betz and McNicholas screamed sew
eral minutes before they lost con-
seriousness. The tail light is thought
to have caused the fire.

Valuable Work of Art Is
Slashed By SufrdgeHe

London - A militant suffragette,
armed with Ratchet, seriously dam
aged valuable portrait of the Duke
of Wellington in the Royal Academy.
The woman was standing, looking at
the painting, when she suddenly
drew the Ratchet and slashed the can
vas three times. An attendant
promptly seized her and took her to
the police station, where she said her
name was Mary Ansell. The painting
was by the late Sir Hubert Won Her
komer, who died March 81, this year.
1t was considered one of his finest
works.
Miss Ansell later in the day was ar
raigned at the police court, where the
magistrate committed her for trial at
the London sessions.
The prisoner sent to the Women s
Social and Political union message
asserting her deed was protest
against the unjust political position OF
women, for which militancy was the
only remedy, and concluding:
1 have done this deed deliberately
and rejoice that l have not failed in

he is well-educated man.
"He is man of much the same

Water for DARN COlu.

Water requirements of the dairy
cow are not always given the attention
they ought to receive. Aside from the
large amount of water used in milk
production, cows will drink about 60
to 80 pounds day if they are given
that amount of fresh, clean water.
Some of the worlds record cows have
drunk as much as 270 pounds day.
Since milk has large percentage OF
water in it, large quantities of water
are required to produce the milk. Not
only that, but high milk production
demands the digestion and assimila-
ton of great deal of nourishment,
and water is needed in large quantities
for these purposes. The best water is
from springs or deep wells, says W.
A. Barr, O. A. C. and Federal dairy
agent. Ponds receiving drainage are
especially bad, because they contain
disease germs and because the water
is not relished so that the cow really
drinks all she needs.

Plans for Building
Septic Tank on Farm,

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor.
vallis-The purpose of septic tanks or
the farm is to dispose of house anG
farm sewage without communicating
the premises and endangering the
health OF the owner. A great deal OF
the sewage that finds its way into the
septic tank has more or less solid mat
ter suspended in the liquid. If this
matter is left on the surface or in the
nearby soils it produces bad odors ard
disease germs when it decays. In the
septic tank most, but not all, of the
solid matter is liquefied and rendered
harmless by the action of the bacteria.
"In order to bring about these
changes" says Professor T. D. Beck
with, of the Oregon Agricultural col
lege, cit is necessary that the tank be
composed of two compartments. One
of these must be as nearly alright as
possible and the other we'll supplied
with air. There must be no possibility
Of air escaping from the second cham
Der into the first. Many of our So
called septic tanks have only partial
dividing wall between the chambers,
or only one chamber. Such a tank is
nothing more than a cesspool that is
a serious menace to health. There are
two sets of bacteria, whose work is
necessary to decompose the solid mat
ter. The kind that first attacks the
solid matter in the sewage cannot live
and work in the presence of air; the
kind that finishes the work cannot live
and work without air.
The details by which the foregoing
results are achieved are not so COM
plicated as one would suppose. A full
account of the location, construction
and preparation Of septic tanks for the
farm have been prepared by the Ore
gon Agricultural college in Bulletin
Extension Series 2, No. 8. Copies of
this bulletin may be had free of cost
by requesting them of Extension Di-
rector, Corvallis, Oregon.

Auian tuberculosis Serious.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
wallis -The fact that avian tubercu-
losis, commonly known as tuberculosis
of fowls, is now prevalent in the
Northwest has been shown by the in
vestigations of the psychological de-
partment of the Agricultural college.
Unless the disease is checked before it
establishes itself quite generally, it
will not only work great damage to
the poultry business, but it will boost
the cost of living another notch. 1t
should be stamped out radically-a
thing easier said than done.
Fowl tuberculosis is difficult to de-
tect until it is well advanced or the
bird has been killed for examination.
It is caused by germ that cannot
affect healthy fowl until carried to
it by some means, and herein lies the
best hope of success in combating it.
Infection is spread by the mingling Of
an infected flock with a sound. one, by
means of droppings that carry the
germs, by flies, and by infected food,
such as the carcass of tubercular
bird. 1t would doubtless be well to
guard against all these sources, espe-
cially against the introduction of new
birds into sound flock.
In cases where the disease is already
established it is recommended that
small focks be killed off, all cheap
buildings burned, and the grounds dis
infected and used for some other pur-
pose for some time.
eff the stock is too large to be done
away WITH" says T. D. Beckwith,
"disinfection is the only procedure,
and often that is not at all certain.
All suspected birds must be weeded
out, and the houses thoroughly cleaned,
scalded and disinfected. Feeding and
watering troughs must receive the
same treatment. The runs should be
plowed to turn the germs below the
surface"

MEDIATORS WILL
GUST DICTATOR
New Scheme Of Government for
Mexico Considered.
Roth Factions of Republic to Be
represented Commission of
FTve Is Tentative Plan.

Washington, D. illumination of
General Huerta and the establishment
If a provisional government in Next
20 in which both the Huerta and the
ronstitutionalist factions would be
renresented is contemplated in a plan
which the three South American medi-
ators now are working out to be pro-
nosed for the solution of the entire
Mexican problem.
This, the first intimation as to the
details of the mediation plans, became
known Wednesday, although neither
the mediators nor State department
officials would make any statement as
to how nearly complete is the plan to
he submitted to American and Next
can delegates when they meet the
South American ENJOYS at Niagara
Falls, Canada, Monday.
It was learned the proposal might be
that the setting up of a temporary
government be undertaken by COM
mission composed of five persons, two
of them to be named by Huerta, two
by the constitutionalists and the fifth
by the mediators.
While the mediators have with
drawn their invitation to the constitu-
tionalists to send delegates to their
conference, it is believed generally
that information is being sought as to
whether the constitutionalists would
consent, in case of the elimination of
Huerta, to some form of temporary
government in which he would be rep
resented. Those close to the media
tors say it is believed this arrange
ment is the only possible one under
which peace may be restored in Mexi-
co under conditions satisfactory to all
Mexican factions and to the United
States.
Expressions of confidence that me-
dation would be successful in averting
war between the United States and
Mexico came from several members of
the cabinet after President Wilson had
discussed the situation with his official
family.
