What Ptomainc Poison Really Is.

"Ptomaine Is scientlnc name Tor
food poison" says a physician In
Farm and Fireside. "and although all
ptomaines are not dangerous to health.
there is no simple test for telling the
dangerous ones from the others. DR..
Charles X. Francis, noted Oklahoma
hcemist. gives the advice. When
doubtful about food, do not eat 1t.
This applies especially to meat which
has a peculiar odor or taste, canned
goods, especially when they have been
opened for some time, and any other
foods which do not seem just right.
Taking a chance may he taking your

DECREE TO CRIPPLE
MINING INTERESTS
Plan to Abolish State Con
cessions Issued by
Villa.

DOUGLAS. Ariz.. March 20.-Gen.
L. Elias Gales. military governor of
Sonora, announced today at Aqua
Prieta. opposite here, that he was
preparing to issue decree within the
next day or two abolishing all state
concessions issued by Jose Maytorena,
former Villa governor. and other
former officials under Dia2 and villa
regimes. The decree. II issued, will
AFFECT many of the mining companies,
public utilities and firms dealing in
commodities. The decree. however.
will not revoke the grants given many
OF the large American and other large
firms operating in Sonora by the fed
eral government New concessions will
be issued Immediately, ii was stated
by Ives w. Lelevier, consul here of the
de facto government. Efforts to
reorganize the government of Sonora
on more stable basis was given by
Consul Lelevier as the reason for the
contemplated action.
Many individuals and corporations.
he declared, had obtained valuable
grants through bribos to former Off
cials and in return had obtained con-
cessions which were exempted from
certain taxes and had been allowed
to operate under other conditions
more favorable than to natives and
other foreigners.
The decree abolishing all of these
old state concessions will be issued in
order to give a better chance to the
average resident and investor living
or operating in Sonora" Consul
Lelevier said today.

pDANT THAT IS NEVER QUIET
As Long as lit Lives Its Leaves Jerk
SYSTEMATICALLY.

Perpetual motion machine OF the
botanist Is O plant which grows in
India. 1t Is never quiet. Its leaves
are dancing day and night, and
neither the dead atmosphere or a
tropical moon nor the soft breezes of
twilight are able to soothe 1t with
their restful lullabys. Botanists call
1t tho telegraph plant.
Its motions differ from those Of
the aspen tree, which Is the Aineri-
can type Of almost perpetual motion
in nature. Tho aspen leaf Is affected
by the lightest breeze and quivers.
The leaves Of the telegraph plant
have sort Of Jerking motion.
Each leaf Is divided into three leaf
lets. The outside pair move UP and
down in nervous little jumps. as II
they were being touched and shocked
by some electric wire. The middle
leaflet isn't quite so lively. but II
keeps up a continual motion. never
theless.
The only time the plant Is quiet is
when 1t is dead. 1t belongs to a big
family of tropical plants known as the
name of desmodum. Members Of
this family are characterized by long
leaves. small flowers and flat-jointed
pods.

py the advantage positions they are
holding in northern Mexico.
Finest OF Treatment.
The United States. 1t is understood,
is prepared to make every concession
possible under the circumstances to
the de facto government, 1t being felt
that as American troops are operat-
ing on Mexican soil, the de facto
government is entitled to the greatest
possible consideration. 1t Is the de-
sire of officials that nothing be done
which in the slightest way would tend
to embarrass the de facto government
or bring about any adverse feeling OF
any kind.
Cheering News.
Word that the CarranZa troops were
reaching positions where they may
head off Villa If he attempts to strike
still further south was received here
enthusiastically. Press dispatches
containing the announcement of Gem
eral Funston that villa was reported
to have been defeated by Carranza
troops at Cruces and to have turned

which point the second American col

being extremely favorable. as were re-
ports of an engagement between
Villas followers and CarranZa forces
Both reports were read with much in
torest in official circles. If they prove
to be correct, officials say, the Amcri-
can troopers may be expected to es-
tablish a contact with the band of
outlaws at any time.
The battleship Kentucky, which had
been ordered to proceed to Vera Cruz
today. was diverted to Galveston after
reports to the navy department from
the gunboat Marietta, now at Vera
Cruz, announced that conditions there
were quiet and that there was no nee
esslty for another ship. When the
Kentucky was ordered to the Mexican
port 1t was stated ii was for the pur-
pose of establishing wireless commu-
rication from there to Key West
which apparatus of the Marietta Is
unable to accomplish except at night
Navy department officials believe,
however, that night transmission un-
der existing circumstances Is all that
Is necessary. From Galveston the
Kentucky will be within easy reach
of Mexican waters should an emer-
gency arise.

Refuses to Increase the
Regular Army PrOvis-
ions of Hay Bill.
TO THE SENATE NOW
Measure Proposed by War
Department Allows
Total of 270,00O.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-By re-
fusing definitely to increase the regu-
lar army provisions of the Hay bin
the house today made it almost GER
tain that the measure will go to the
senate virtually as framed and by an
overwhelming vote. Chairman Hay OF
the military committee was hopeful
tonight that "A final vote could be
Jeached tomorrow.
The net result of the days debate
on proposed amendments was to sus-
tain the recommendation OF the
president as to the size of the regular
army. The Hay bill carries virtually
the program mapped out by former
Secretary Garrison in this regard but
substitutes the liberalization Of the
national guard for the continental
army. The president has approved its
general outlines but stands uncom-
mitted as to details.
Three times during the day the
house defeated proposals to increase
the teace strength of the regular
army fixed by the Hay bill at 144 900
expanded to $4,000 by executive or
der if war is imminent. The debate
centered upon the Kahn amendment
to fix the authorized peace strength
at 100000. but the first vote was on
substitute offered by Representa-
Nive Fuller, Republican of Illinois. to
make it 100000.
vote Down Amendment.
The Fuller substitute was lost with
out a division. The Kahn amend
ment was voted down 1873 to 1913 after
appeals for larger standing army had
been made by Representative Mann,
Republican leader. and other intluen-
tial members OF the minority.
Only tyyn DamncratS summarized the
Kahn amendment in debate and less
than a dozen voted for it. About
forty Republicans voted against 1t.
Representative Crago, Republican.
of the military committee, proposed
to fix the strength at 100000, but was
voted down by a substantial majority.
With this outstanding feature dis
posed of consideration Of the re-
mainder of the bill went forward
rapidly. About one-third Of the meas
urc had been reviewed and approved
when adjournment for the day came.
The national guard, industrial reserve
and nitrate plant sections are among
those still to be considered.
Total of 100000
Chairman Hay said the bill as read
by war department officials now al
lowed a total war strength Of 100000
men of all arms. He declared that it
would be impossible to recruit up to
100000 in peace times at the present
rate of pay and added that even at
that strength against any firSt-class
power the regulars would only be a
small part of the force necessary for
defense of the country.
Virtually all speakers during the
two and n half hours of debate who
opposed the amendment laid stress on
the fact that in any event the nation

The steady and rapid advance of a
part of General Pershrng's force into
Mexico has increased the desire of
those at army headquarters here to
be permitted to use the Northwestern
railway for moving supplies. Cruces,

by one Of the cavalry detachments, is
almost two hundred miles from the

Guard Dolores Pass.

DOUGLAS, Ariz. March 20.--Four
thousand troops of the command of
Gen. NJ. NJ. DiegueZ, in charge Of the
Yaqui campaign in western Sonora,
1t was announced here were ordered
today by General Gales to proceed
from Hermosillo to Sahuaripa, in
southeastern Sonora. These men are
being sent to guard Dolores pass, the
southernmost of the four passes lead
ing through the mountains along the
Chihuahua-Sonora state line. Re-
ports that Francisco villa and his
bandits were making their way south
from Casas Grandes, Chihuahua be-
fore the United States troops led to
this disposition of the Sonora troops.
The arrival of the detachment at
Sahuaripa will increase the CarranZa
troops on duty in eastern Sonora to a
total of approximately six thousand
soldiers. The column was expected to
reach It's destination Wednesday or
Thursday. Gen. Enrique Estrada is
in command.

Make Proposal.
The proposal for the protocol,
which it is planned to have remain in
force until villa is captured. came
from Mr.. Arredondo and was a direct
result of the request Of the United
States for permission to use the rail-
way between Ell Paso and Casas
Grandes for the shipment Of supplies
to the American expeditionary force.
Mr.. Arredondo is understood to have
received instruction from General
Carranza to discuss the request with
the state department and to propose
the agreement by which a complete
understanding will be had by both
governments.
While the convention will provide
FOR all matters such as the use OF
Mexican railroads by American troops
the specific request for permission to
ship supplies from El Paso will be
disposed of separately. General Car
rama has asked for additional infor-
nation upon the subject and 1t will
be forwarded to him Immediately.
State department officials declined to
discuss the nature Of the Information
desired, on the groun dthat while the
negotiations are in progress they
ulIst be held confidential.
Must Work Hastily.
After his conference with Mr..
Polk, MIR. Arredondo started to pre-
pare tentative draft Of the agree
ment which win be submitted to Gen.
eral CarranZa as soon as an agree
ment on details is reached with the
state department.
Every effort will be made to ex-
nedite preparation OF the document,
the representatives of both govern
. ments reliZing that haste ID essential
in the campaign against Villa. AS far
as the shipment of supplies from Ell
Paso is concerned. the state depart
ment is inclined to regard such an
arrangement as beng purely a COM
morcial proposition.
Officials fail to see why there should
be any objection to such shipments.
ia is not planned to use the rolling
stock of the Mexican road, merely the
tracks. Officials hold that the United
uEtates asked Of the de facto govern
Nment in this instance considerably
Ness than the latter asked when per-
smission was desired to transport Car
anza troops through American tor.
