COLOMBIA WANTS
MORE THAN MONEY
FOR SETTLEMENT
Wants Same Rights to Canal
as U. S. and Urges Re-
adjustment of the
Boundary Line

Washington, January 10.-That Co.
lombia places other considerations
above monetary indemnity in the set
tlement of the controversy with the
United States over the separation of
Panama from the South American
country, was asserted today by Julio
Betancourt, Colombian minister in
Washington.
In the treaty of settlement that Is
being negotiated Minister Betancourt
declared financial recompense for the
loss of Panama was held by his gov
ernment secondary to stipulations
which deal with the boundary between
Colombia and Panama and the right of
Colombia to have the same rights to
use the Panama canal as the United
States. Until details of these two ques-
tions are finally agreed to, it was
stated, the amount of money to be paid
to Colombia by this government would
not be determined, although 500, 600, 900
has been reported as the approximate
amount. Another report has fixed the
indemnity of $4,000, 900.
Colombia feels, it is said. that the
granting to her of the right to use
the canal on the same terms as the
United States is a practical recogni-
tion that this country thus repays an
inherent right which the South Amer
lean country had in the canal as
would have been the case if Panama
had not revolted
American Minister Thompson, who
returned to this country because of his
wife's i'll health, expects to sail for
Colombia early next month to resume
negotiations, which were nearing final
settlement when he left BNgota re-

Race Beternent Speakers
Hold Interesting Meeting

Battle Creek, Mich, January 10.-A
wide variety of subjects, embracing eu-
themes and its founder. the effect of al
cohol on the race and the function of the
dentist in race betterment, featured to-
nights session of the National Conference
on Race Betterment. The day session
was taken up with the discussion of a
eugenics registry office for the purpose OF
developing human thoroughbreds, the re-
lation of physical education to physical
betterment, the tuberculosis problem, fac
tory degeneration and other subjects.
"Euthenics is the name proposed for
the preliminary science on which eugenics
must be based" said Mrs. Melville Dewey
of Lake Placid, n. Y. mo state can
thrive while its citizens waste their re-
sources of health, bodily energy, time and
brain power, any more than a nation may
prosper than wastes its natural resources.
However far the science. of seugenies may
carry the race toward perfection, unless
it's sister science, euthenics, goes hand in
hand, the race will deteriorate. Accepted
together, as guiding principles in the evo-
luton of life, man may yet build for him.

ROMAN COURT
Rejects APPEAL
OF ANNA GOULD

Rome, January 10--Cardinals COM
prising the signature tribunal or high
court of the Roman curia, today re-
jected the appeal of the Duchess de
Tallyrand formerly Anna Gould of New
York, from the verdict of the rota
tribunal annulling her marriage to her
first husband, Count Boni de Castel-
lane. The case. however. will come up
again for trial before the rota tri-
bunal.
Cardinal Pietro Gasparri drafted the
report of which he gave a summary
TO the tribunal He afterward eX-
pressed a lucid opinion upon the points
of law and suggested the rejection of
the appeal
Cardinal Basilio Pompili, vicar gen
eral of the pope, raised objections con-
cerning the actual reason why the
Duchess de Talleyrand had not been
notified before the original trial. Car
dinal Gasparri explained that the arch =
bishop Rice of Paris had sent 1t in
registered letter to the Duchess de
Talleyrand's Paris address. The jan
itor there had refused to take the let
ter, saying the duchess was at her
country seat. The letter was forwarded
there but the duchess herself refused
to receive it
The duchess explained that she never
accepted letters from unknown per-
sons, as they usually contained beg
ging appeals.
The point on which Cardinal Gasparri
based his argument for the rejection
of the duchess appeal was that imme-
diately after the rota tribunal had
er;xr ind ON
riage she had started suit for a new
trial before the rota tribunal, thereby
implicitly admitting knowledge and
acceptance of the first procedure. 1t
was only later. at the suggestion of
her lawyers, the cardinal pointed out,
that she pleaded ignorance in attempt
ing to have the judgment annulled.
Cardinal Vannutteli agreed with Car
dina1 Gasparri's opinion and added
that the duchess would be free to sub
init her argument at the next trial
before the rota tribunal

If the stomach is overworked, its

extreme danger to the heart.
1t lis then that the stomach calls for
help. Ordinary medicines are impos-
sible They not only fail to help the
stomach but iniure the entire system.
Medical men have studied the stomach
and have discovered that the digestive
juices consist largely of pepsin and
nitrogenous ferments. What, then,
would be more natural than to supply
these properties artificially when the
stomach is unable to pro6uce them?
That is the object of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. These powerful little
agents relieve the stomach of its bur-
den, thereby giving it opportunity
to regain its normal strength. They
tone up, strengthen and revitalize the
secretory glands. mucous mebranes,
absorbing glands and muscular walls.
They restore to the stomach it's lost
powers of digestion so that it can
again do its work without assistance.
They contain, in a concentrated form,
every element necessary to digest all
sorts of food. whether acid or aka
line.

This is because they do not properly

Mr.. Hunter pointed to life insurance

first public reception unuder the present
administration
The President is highly appreciative OF
the manner in which the residents of this
section have serupulously observed his
desire for seclusion and rest, and it was
in recognition of their courtesy that he
rendered the reception on the day before
his departure to Washington. The weather
today was ideal and the air as balmy as a
spring day.
People Eager to Come
Automobiles, carriages, ricketty traps,
crude farm wagons, dust covered saddle
horses and crowded trolley cars brought
the eager people to the reception. Pretty
girls, aged Confederate veterans in thir
gray uniforms mothers carrying their
babies, and little children by the score
crowded into line and passed up the steps
and met the President. A picturesque
inquire among those who shook hands
with the President was Sen. A o. OK

The reception was the closing event of
an interesting day for President Wilson.
As he returned from the Gulfport golf
links this morning, men. women and chill
dren in crowds greeted him along the
road, presenting him with flowers and
other gifts. As Mr.. Wilson passed the
home of former Congressman Bowers he
was given a gigantic bunch of grapefruit
while children along the way presented
him with oranges and bananas.

ORGANIZED GANGS
MUSTBE broken UP
Mayor Mitchell Declares
War on New York
Underworld

New York. January 1O.-Mayor John
Purroy Mitchell declared war today on
organized gangs of the city and caused
emphatic orders to be given the police
that bands of drug fiends, murderers and
thieves must be broken up.
The killing last night of Frederick
Straus, a prominent German citizen. by
bullets that flew in a street fight between
rival East Side gangs prompted the may
or's action. Police Commissioner Doug
las Mckay ordered a round up of gang
leaders. A score or more had been
brought to police headquarters by night
fall and department scouts continued to
scour the haunts of the underworld
Gang outrages, gang street fights and
gang killings have been frequent in the
past few years, and the police have laid
their inability to cope with the evil to
Mayor Gaynor's anti-cubbing orders. Po-
lice officials recall that the old time New
York gang used it's fists for the most part,
and under former conditions control was
a comparatively simple matter.
Menace Formidable
With the introduction in later years of
new foreign elements, the knife and re-
volver came generally into play and the
menace of gang operations and influence
became formidable The latter day gun
man" is commonly of the anaemic, skulk-
ing type, the police declare, who exists
off the earnings of his woman companions.
In announcing his intention to break uD
the gangs, Mayor Mitchell said he was
not at all satisfied with the manner in
which the police had handled the question
in the past. "They have been too toler-
ant of the existence of organized gangs

Simpson Last Witness

Rush Simpson, purchasing agent for
the Wimberly e. Thomas Hardware Co.
followed Mr.. Moore. His testimony was
practically the same as that of Mr.
Moore. He gave information about the
articles his firm purchased and what
methods were used in securing COM
petitive bids. He did not know of any
combination to fix price between
competitors and gave 1t as his opinion
that competition was keen at all times.
Mr.. Simpson gave the names of the
companies from whom be made pur-
chases He said quotations varied from
time to time in both steel and iron He
said that he had made very small pur-
chases from the Bessemer plant of the
Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad
company. He said in answer to a ques-
tion of Mr. Reed that he did not think
his purchases from the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railroad company would ex-
ceed 10 or 15 per cent.
Mr.. Simpson said that sometimes
quotations would be low from one COM
pany and high from the other and from
time to time the variations would be
very marked. His examination closed
the days session.

He said from the indications that he

there was the keenest kind of competition,
but when the mills had plenty of orders
that the keenness of competition dimin-
ished somewhat.

END OF WAR WILL SEE BIG I'M
MIGRATION TO U. s.

Chicago Record Herald: Mark Sui
livan, editor of Golfers, in an ad-
dress at Detriot last Saturday to the
advertising clubs of that city, Cleve-
land, Buffalo and Rochester, declared
that the immigration from Europe
that would follow the end of the
present war, and especially from
Germany, would add enormously to
our national assets.
That immigration will increase is
to be expected. Poverty, political
oppression and religious prosecution
are, historically, the stimulants of
emigration. Except in the case of
the Jews of Eastern Europe the lat
ter factor has ceased to be operative.
Nor is an increase of political op-
preston likely to occur. If the war
produces any political effect it will
be in the direction of more demo-
cratic liberty.
The factor of poverty will remain
and be intensified for the time.
Whichever side wins" the destruc-
tion of wealth will have been enor-
nous. The life of the common man
will be harder and he will be more
INCLINED to take hazard of new for
tunes in lands over which the des-
tructive broom of war has not passed.
Mr.. Sullivan estimated an immi-
grafton of at least 100000 immed-
lately following the end of the war,
and largely from Germany.
Wherever in Europe the immi-
grants come from they will be well
coined by all right thinking Amer
leans. None will be more welcome
| than those from Germany.
They will not add to our problem
of illiteracy nor swell the ranks of
"unskilled" labor. No people in Eu-
rope are better schooled. None show
higher average of skill in the arts
and crafts. Abraham Lincoln, long
ago, declared every able bodied i'm
migrant worth at least $1,000 to this
country An addition of 100000
trained and educated workers thus
means, at the lowest estimate, ST.
| 600, 100000 added to our national
resources.

Quick Work in Fire Protection.

In reviewing the fire protection
| work of the past season, the District
Forester at Portland, Oregon, an
nounces that some very Efficient and
speedy records have been made in
reaching fires.
Perhaps the most striking instance
of this speedy work occurred at {
ranger station three-eights of mile
from Silver Lake, Oregon. TIL
ranger received a telephone call to
the effect that there was fire at a
mill twelve miles away. He immed-
lately saddled his horse, rode into
town, hired ten men and three auto
mobiles, and with this force reached
the fire in just forty-eight minutes
from the time he received the tele-
phone call. The run from Silver
Lake to the scene of the fire, twelve
miles away, was made in twenty
eight minutes.
