ASSURANCE

the Latin-Amer-

Toxic, Jan. 30-Hopes were expressed
in official circles here yesterday that a
basis of understanding on the California
alien land ownership question will be
found soon by the United States and
japanese governments. The chief con
Germ here at present seems to be in re-
gard to future legislation in America,
and it is said any additional enactments
unfavorable TO the japanese would be
considered serious menace to the tradi-
tional friendship of the two countries.
The government at Washington has en-
deayored to assure Japan that the state
of California would cease the enactment
of laws held by Japan to be dscrimina-
tory. This is admitted here, but it is
pointed out that, owing to the political
distinction between the federal and
state governments, there might be some
difficulty in obtaining convincing assur-
ances for the future.

FRESH AIR AND HEALTH

Mental work calls an unusual supply OF
blood to the brain; the process of diges-
ton calls the blood to the stomach.
Brain work Immediately after a hearty
meal often causes indigestion because the
brain has first call on supply of blood
that should be helping the stomach.
Wherever, in the economy of the body,
work is TO be done there Is demand for
bright, red blood. Thin blood or blood
dark with impurities will not do because
1t is the oxygen carried by the blood
that does the work and oxygen bearing
blood Is bright and red. This ife-sus-
tanning oxygen is taken up by the blood
from the air which 1t meets in the lungs.
Hence the great need Of fresh air every
hour of the day and night. But fresh
air is useless il the blood cannot take
up the oxygen which it gives. DR.. VIII
liams' Pink Pills enable the blood to take
up more oxygen because they increase
the part of the blood that carries the
oxygen. This corrects the lassitude, pal
pitation Of the heart, shaky nerves and
the pallor that are the results of thin, inn
pure blood.
You must have pure, rich blood to
enjoy complete health. A booklet Build
ing Up the Blood" will be sent free on

To Clear the Complexion.

One result of constipation is to dis.
figure the complexion with pimples and
blotches. This is because poisons which
should have been expelled from the body
are retained Cosmetics and ointments
will not avail to clear such complexion.
The poisons which cause the disfgura-
ton must be removed as natureintended.
To do this laxative that will gently
assist nature, but which will cause no re-
acting constipation to aggravate the
trouble, is needed.

without the least gripping or discomfort.
So simple is their composition that they
can be taken with any other medicine

is needed. Pinklets are tiny, sugar
coated granules, easy TO take. Yourown

CORONER BEGINS
THE CROSS CASE
Dead woman's Physician One Of Wit
nesses in Effort to Clear Up
the Mystery.

Bridgeport, Conn, Jan. 30.--An inves-
tigation was begun by Coroner John J.
Phelan yesterday of the death of Mrs.
Hannah A. Cross at her home here last
November under conditions which it is
now alleged were suspicious.
Mrs Cross, who was the widow of a
New York jeweller, came here from
Montclair, N. j., few months before her
death. 1t has been alleged that death
was due to an overdose of an opiate.
Witnesses summoned by the coroner
yesterday included Dr.. H w. Fleick, who
attended her during her illness.
The coroner was unable TO say wheth-
er Frank M. Garland, the man who had
Mrs. Cross power of attorney and was
named in her will, but was later dis
placed by the probate court, would be
questioned in the course of his inquiry.
At present, the coroner said, he had no
knowledge of Garland's whereabouts.
The investigation is as yet in an in
definite state, he said, and is planned
along certain general lines. What IL
may be expected to develop he did not
care to say.
Counsel in the case was equally reti-
cent, and while it is admitted that about
$4,000 of the Cross estate is unaccount-
ed for, it is not charged, it is said, that
this amount has been Incorporated.

FOLK BACKS
NEW MOVE
Has Plan to Teach PRO
gressive Policies to
the Young
COUNSEL CLUB
PROPOSED SYSTEM
Schoolhouses to Be Utilized
as Social Cen
terS

Washington, Jan. 80. The possibili-
ties of new political movement being
engineered in Washington, largely under
the direction of Joseph w. Folk, solici-
tor of the state department, were com
mcnted on yesterday with the announce
ment made at luncheon of the Com
mon Counsel club, that branch common
| counsel clubs are to be organized in
every school district in the United States
for the discussion of progressive pol
| icies.
The Common Counsel club is an or
ganization OF cabinet officers, their as
! sistants and members of the House and
Senate, of which former Gov. Folk is
president. The Missourian was the lea,i-
er in the organization of the club and
has been largely responsible for its pro-
gramme up to this time.
In announcing the plan for the pro
posed extension of the influence of the
Common Counsel club, Mr.. Folk said
yesterday;
"The plan contemplates weekly or BIZ
weekly lessons being sent to each Com
mon Counsel club from the parent Or
ganization in Washington, somewhat
along the lines Of the International Sun
day School association. We have de-
cided to establish Common Counsel
club in every school district in the
United States, with the schoolhouses as
social centers. We shall employ a pro-
fessional organizer, who will devote his
whole time to the work. About 500 APP
plications have already been received to
form local Common Counsel clubs"
The club has had for it's topic in the
recent bi-weekly meetings the question
of presidential primaries. Mr.. Folk an
nounced that the clubs committee
appointed to draft bill had completed
its work, which viii be taken up with
members of the House. The subject
was discussed at the meeting yesterday
Among the speakers were Secretary Of
State Bryan, Louis d. Brandeis Of Bos-
ton and Assistant Secretary Of the Navy
Roosevelt.
The committee intrusted with the
work for the organization of the branch
clubs consists OF Solicitor Folk, chair
man; George f. Davies, commissioner OF
corporations; Louis +. Post, assistant
secretary of labor; William j. Harris,
director of the census; Samuel III.
Thompson, ir.. assistant attorney gem
eral: Samuel w. Graham and Frank p.
Walsh chairman of the congressional
commission on industrial relations.
When asked how the propaganda con-
templated by the Common Counsel club,
all of whose members are Democrats,
will be received in districts where there
are many Republicans, Gov. Folk re-
piled:
1T is hard to find any one nowadays
who is not Wilson and Bryan Demo
crat. AT any rate almost every one is
progressive"
The general impression in Washington
is that the club at the proper time will
be used as a medium for urging the
denomination OF President Wilson.

INTEREST IN OUR AFFAIRS.
Is Said to Be Shown in Marked Degree
in Great Britain.

| London, Jan. 30.--The relations of the
United States and Great Britain in re.
gard to the Panama canal tolls, the
controversy between Washington and
Toxic over the California alien land
Ownership legislation and President Will
sons policy toward Mexico are the sub
jects of lengthy dispatches from British
correspondents in Washington, but there
on these questions.
The Pail Mall Gazette is the only
newspaper to mention Mexico
1t says President Wilson has laid him
self open to a charge OF having chalked
up mo Huerta and then run away" and
! it concludes:
1T is a position that becomes s,yorse
for the prestige of the Washington gov
eminent every day on which nothing
happens"
Financiers here interested in Mexico
are becoming impatient at the lack OF
action shown by President Wilson. A
meeting OF the Mexican section of the
London chamber of commerce is to be
called shortly to discuss the replies to a
circular recently sent out to its members
asking them for their views as to
whether it would be advisable for Great
Britain to join with France and Ger
many in asking President Wilson to
take some steps TO adjust the financial
position of Mexico.
The summons sent to Sir Lionel Car
den, British minister to Mexico, to come
TO London for conference, has created
no surprise here, as it was announced on
Jan. 5 that this would be the first step
toward his transfer to Brazil The six
months for which he was appointed to
Mexico will expire the middle of Feb
ruary.
Thomas B. Poplar, as first secretary
of legation in Mexico, will, il is pointed
out, naturally act as charge d'affairs UNI
Til the successor of Sir Lionel Garden is
definitely appointed, which will be after
his transfer to Rio de Janeiro Charles
Murray Maring, now counsellor of en-
bassy at Constantinople, is still the only
diplomat in view for the appointment,
although it is understood that for per-
sonal reasons he is disinclined to 90 TO

NO VIOLATION
OF LAW, HE SAYS
Prosecutor Alexander Refuses to Place
the New York Graft Cases Be-
fore the Grand Jury.

Albany, Jan. 30.--The expected open
break between Commissioner Osborne,
conducting the graft Investigations, and
Harold Alexander, district attorney of
Albany county, came yesterday.
1t was occasioned by the refusal OF
Alexander to present to the grand jury
testimony taken by Osborne involving
members of the former state highway
commission.
After the jury was dismissed, Alexan-
der in statement said the commission
had violated no law. Osborne said he
would appeal to Governor Glynn for the
appointment of special attorney gen
eral to handle the cases.

posed

and Representative Moss of Indiana,
members of the commission President
Wilson sent abroad last summer to
study foreign systems. The bills yester-
day were for long term farm loans. Bills
for short term loans will be introduced

House. Yesterdays measure would es-
tablish in the treasury department a
bureau of farm and banks under the d.
rection OF a commissioner and make pro-
vision for the formation of such banks
in any state under federal inspection.
ANY group of farmers within state
might organize cooperative farm land
banks with power to issue bonds to raise
funds from distant money markets for
farm development. Operations of the
individual banks would be confined with
in state lines, though supervision will be
federal, owing TO the variety of state
laws bearing upon land titles, taxation,
foreclosure and like subjects. They
would be strictly prohibited from doing
"a city business"
Loans to farmers might not exceed
fifty per cent. of the value Of improved
land, nor extend more than thirty five
years. No institution could begin bust
ness without foundation capital and
double liability provided for national
banks. The amount of long term bust
ness which might be undertaken by any
of the proposed banks could not exceed
fifteen times the amount of paid-up
share capital and surplus. They might
accept and pay interest on deposits not
exceeding fifty per cent of capital and
surplus, and receive deposits of postal
saving funds to the same extent The
report submitted with the bill was draft
ed by Senator Fletcher, chairman; Sem
ator Gore, Representative Moss, DIR.
