strike would result in national de- generacy. It would be followed by depopulation and decay. The nation al degeneracy that prevailed in Eng land prior to the repeal of the Con- vention Act, Furuseth pointed out, and which act had made unions and strikes unlawful, led to wholesale national decay as to physique, and was causing such a serious state of affairs as to occasion great misgIv. ings. The repeal of the convention act had rapidly improved conditions because then strikes and organiza tions were possible, and practically all reforms could be traced to that repeal.

 He adduced conditions in different countries where compulsory arbitra- tion had been tried, and showed that the industrial statistics as to strikes proved that the system was failure and did not bring about industrial peace.

MRS. D'ANTIN HERE,
TO DEMAND PROBE
Suspects Foul Play in Sudden
Death Of Her Husband
While in Mexico.

Suspecting foul play in the sudden
death of her husband while on a visit

An official report to the State De-
partment from Vice Counsel Williams
at San Luis PotosI said D'Antin was
taken suddenly i'll after q banquet
there, died within an hour, "and was
buried immediately"
Came Here At Once.
Mrs. D'Antin came to Washington
from New York Immediately after
being apprised of the receipt OF this
official report, to take the, matter up
with Secretary of State Lansing.
Suspecting that her husband may
have. been poisoned, Mrs. D'Antin
will ask that the State Department
take steps TO have the body exhumed
80 that a chemical analysis may be
made OF the stomach.
Secretary of State Lansing last
night gave out the following state
ment based on q consular report from
San Luis Potosi:
THE American vice consul at San
Luis Potosi telegraphed that, accord
ing to physician's certificate, Luis
p'Antin died of cerebral congestion.
The vice consul adds that Mr.. Dan
tin was not we'll the day he arrived
at San Luis Potosi; that he attended
a banquet; that later in the evening
he became i'll, dying within an hour,
and that. the remains were buried In

Response To Inquir3.
The report from the vice consul al
San Luis Potosi was in response to
an Investigation instituted by the
State Department at the request OF
Mrs. D'Antin, who telegraphed from
New York making the request.
Later D'Antin came to Washington
as an attache OF the Mexican embassy
here, although he retained his Ameri-
can citizenship. He was the man

credited with knowing more of inside

American.
On Way To Capital.
When he met his sudden death
D'Antin was en- route to Mexico City
with Ambassador-desig Are
dondo.
The fact that his death occurred
after a banquet. and that such sus-
pIcious haste was taken in burying
the remains. was accepted by DAN
tins friends as sufficient evidence to
influence the State Department in
continuing the investigation.
