eys. With this show of force. and the
declaration of Frank M. aCnton, Ad-
iutant general, who was in personal
command of the troops, that II anoth-
er race was started the mllltlamen
would fire to fill the horses, othclals
of the Tulsa Jockey club ordered the
Spring race meeting which began
Monday, abandoned temporarily at
least. Today's action brought to cul-
mination a contest as to the right or
"bookmakers" to operate at the track.
Monday open betting was permitted,
and Monday night application was
filed by county officials before District
Judge L. NJ. Poe asking that an IN
junction be issued prohibiting the
placing of wagers. Tuesday, despite
a restraining order issued by Judge
Poe, report was made to the governor
that violations of the state anti-gambl
ing laws continued and last night the
proclamation declaring the track un-
der martial law was issued. What will
be the next move on the part of the
Jockey club to test the legality or the
order declaring martial law has not
been determined. Preparations had
been made to make applications be-
fore the court of criminal appeals In
Oklahoma City for writs OF habeas
corpus in behalf Of the three men ar
rested by the militia today, but the
release Of the men early tonight made
necessary the abandonment of this
plan.
Washington, April 10: Huerta
submitted to an executive session OF
the Mexican senate today the de-
mands of the American government
for a salute to the flag. No word mas
been received by the Washington
government late tonight OF the de-
liberations. Although no definite IL
formation was available. the fact that
Gen. Huerta had submitted the case
to the Mexican senate, which Is es-
pecially charged with the conduct OF
foreign relations, and not to the en-
tire body of congress, led to the De-
lief here that he had sought author
ization from the senate for the ar
bitration of the question under dis
pute. Under the treaty of 1S4S be-
tween the United States and Mexico,
it was proclaimed that if any disa-
greement arose Of political or COM
mercial nature, the two nations
do promise to each other that they
will endeavor in the most sincere ana
earnest manner to settle the dlference
so arising and to preserve the state
Cc peace and friendship in which the
two countries are now placing thefn-
selves, using for this end, mutual rep
reservations, and if by these means
they should not be enabled TO come
to an agreement, resort snail not OH
this account be had to reprisals, ag-
sression or hostility of any kind by
the republic against the other, until
the government Of that which deems
itself aggrieved shall have maturely
considered, in the spirit of peace ana
good neighborship, whether II would
not be better that such dlnerences
should be settled by the arbitration
of commissioners appointed on each
side or by that of friendly nation;
and should such course be proposed
by either party, it shall be acceded TO
by the other unless deemed by 1t al
together incompatible with the ma
ture of the difference or the clrcum-
stances of the case" A special ar
bitration treaty for the settlemens
of all disputes except questions OF
national honor, expired in 1913, and
administration officials have held
that not even the treaty OF lS4S Is
in force at present because no gov
ernment in Mexico has been recognlZ-
ed. 1t nevertheless was believed In
Official circles tonight that General
Huerta would persist in his attempt
to inject the question Of arbitration
into the situation in spite OF the fact
that he already had been informed
that the American government would
not consider arbitrating the question
of the salute Of the flag.
DIR. Edward Cudeman, a Chicago
chemist, at the convention or the
American Chemical society, in ses-
sion in Cincinnati last week, MADE
preliminary announcement or what
he declares to be an effective treat
ment of consumption in its carrier
stages. He said that the remedy was
inhaling fumes of sulphurous acid.
These fumes are made by burning
sulphur. A dimes worth of sulphur,
he said, is all that is necessary for a
treatment In making his announce
ment DR.. Cudeman said: Il preolct
that tuberculosis, if not advanced be-
yond the first three stages, may De
cured by direct chemical treatment
within a reasonable time" DR.. Cuoe-
man said later that he did not WISH
to claim that he had an absolute cure
for tuberculosis in advanced stages
but merely wanted II stated LOT tne
present that he believed sulphur 10
be an effective treatment. In pub
lie discussion of DR.. Cudman's paper,
he was asked by one of the convention
delegates to give further details ana
said: The government health ou-
reau recently issued paper in whlcn
il Is declared that there isn't pro-
duct now on sale as cure Tor tuper-
culosis that is a sure cure. That is
true, but there is a substance, Whlch,
if used correctly, will, according 10
the evidence of vital statistics, prove
very effective. This substance Is sui
phurous acid gas. The treatment can
be given through inhalation. There
are several cases to my own knowl-
edge where 1t has been cure. Ii is
the only gas that has the property OF
penetrating intercelular tissues. IL Is
a we'll known fact that there is very
little tuberculosis in the vicinity OF
sulphuric acid factories. At first the
treatment is very disagreeable. II
makes you cough and sneeZe. You
will not be able to remain in room
filed with the fumes more than
quarter of a minGte. Gradually, how
ever, you will be able to remain in
the sulphurous gas-filled room Tor
quite a period Of time" Dr. Cuue-
man further said this treatment could
be applied by any one IN ms own
home at very little expense, the ire
uuency Of the treatment depending on
the needs of the patient He declared
that while the sulphurous acid treat.
ment was going on the patient should
keep us fresh air and pure food treat
ment. DR.. Cudeman said that the
value of sulphurous acid gas treat
ment lies in the fact that, while II
kills germ life. it does not destroy ms
sue. sulphur has been burned TO
disinfect rooms in which there has
been a contagious disease, he SAID
The application of tuberculosis Is
similar in principle"
Nation wide prohibition was urg-
ed before the house judiciary commit
tee last Wednesday at hearings on the
resolution of Representative Hobson
for submission to the states of con-
stitutional amendment. The commit
tee room was crowded with represen-
tatives of the organizations interest
ed. Most of the spectators were wo-
men, a large part of them represent t
ing the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union. Representative Hobson
opened the argument for his resolu-
ton, urging a favorable report that
would place the measure before the
house. I'VE do not propose he sald
to argue the merits of this question
Our position is that the question be-
fore this country is simply whether
the committee and congress will give
the people of the states the right to
