REICIISTAG HEARS
ABOUT SITUATION
Huerta, However, Is to Be
Held to Strict Account for
Damage to Property

Berlin, Feb. 1.-THE Mexican situa-
ton came up for discussion yesterday
in the imperial Parliament, when DIR.
ALFRED Zimmerman, under secretary of
state for foreign affairs, answered an
Interpolation by two of the National
Liberal leaders as to whether Provisional
President Huerta had made representa-
tons to Germany in regard to the rails
ing OF the embargo on the expectation
of arms from the United States to Mex
leo. Dr. zimmerman said the United
States government when it informed
Germany OF the raising of the embargo
had expressed the conviction that nobody
outside of Mexico could enforce settle
ment of that country's difficulties. The
restoration of peace in Mexico, he said,
could be hoped for only if the Mexican
parties were allowed to fight out their
quarrels without interference, and the
raising of the embargo merely gave
American citizens the same right Of sell
ing arms as was enjoyed by other ma
tionals. The under secretary informed
the House that measures had been tax
en- to protect Germans in Mexico and
declared that Mexico would be held fully
for all their property losses,
which had been considerable.

| CANADA GRAFT
Is Discovered on the Grand
Trunk Rail-
way
CORRUPTION ON
CONTRACTS COMMON
A Single " Rake-Off" Of
$4,000 Is
Found

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. live find that
the Transcontinental Railway company,
the Grand Trunk railway, and those
having charge of the construction of the
Pacific coast extension did not practice
economy, and that, without including
the money unnecessarily expended in
building the railway east of the st.
Lawrence river, $40000,000 at least was
lneedlessly expended"
This is the conclusion which +. p.
Gutelius and j. Lynch Staunton, the
commissioners appointed by the govern
ment to investigate the transcontinen-
tai railway, have reached. Their report,
placed ON the table of the Commons yes
terday, caused sensation They found
that the estimate of the late govern
ment for the road was SOL ,4l5000
whereas the cost to date was Sl6l ,30O,-
900, and eventually would reach $751;
65l ,52l.
The commissioners found that
straight rake-off of S750,000 was obtain
ed by M. p, and J. I. Davis on two con-
tracts, that some work was paid for
twice, that contracts were not let to the
lowest tenderers, that profits of $780,
600 were made by contractors who sub
let their contracts, and that there were
numerous other irregularities. The com
missioners said that the Transcona
shops at Winnipeg, which are to cost
S4,500,000 are not authorized by law and
are twice as large as required. In their
opinion, large sums have been lost by
the premature construction OF the New
Brunswick section, built, they assert, to
placate the supporters of the govern
ment east of Quebec
The National Transeontinental is
being built by the Dominion govern
ment as the eastern section of the Grand
Trunk Pacific and extends east from
Winnipeg to Moncton, New Brunswick,
more than 1900 miles. After its con
struction by the government the road.
according to the terms of the agreement,
which is embodied in the acts of Parlia-
ment, is to be leased to the Grand
Trunk Pacific, which is to operate it for
fifty years for rental of per cent Of
the cost of construction, the government

years. The commission says that until

ADMITS ENMITY.
Witness in Gore Case Has Grievance
Against Senator.

against 0tudLUls
Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb. l4.--T 4.
Robertson, former law partner of Ross
Lillard, chief of counsel for the plain
tiff, was recalled as witness yesterday
in the hearing of the $4,000 damage
suit brought by Mrs. Minnie L. Bond
against United States Senator Thomas
Z. Gore in the district court here.
Robertson was being questioned by
the attorneys for Senator Gore when
court adjourned Thursday.
He admitted enmity toward the SEN
ator because, the witness asserted, Gore
had promised to use his influence in be-
half of H. A. Rogers of Oklahoma,
mentioned as a candidate for the post
OF secretary of the interior, but had
failed to do so. Robertson was called as
an eve witness to indignities which
Mrs. Bond alleges were offered her by
Senator Gore in Washington last March
and ON which her suit is based.
1t is the contention Of Senator Cores
attorneys that the present suit is re-
suit OF political intrigue.

COLI S
Anup-to-date remedy for
colds. That is what Peruna
is. In successful use over
80 years.

Colds are caught in many
ways: lily ventilated rooms;
rooms that have direct draughts;
crowded rooms; damp houses;
stuffy school rooms; offices lily
heated.
A dose of Peruna at the right
time, at the first symptom OF
cold, before the bones begin to
ache, before the sore throat
manifests itself, or the cough, or
the discharge from the nose, just
a dose or two of Peruna before
these symptoms begin is gener-
ally sufficient. But after the cold
is once established with the
above symptoms prominent, a
bottle of Peruna, or maybe two,
will be necessary.
