TO U. s. Chief

Carriage.

Paris. Dec. 22.-President and
Mrs. Wilson were guests of honor
at dinner given last evening at
the British embassy by the earl of
Derby, British ambassador. Among
the guests were Count Romanones,
Spanish premier; Vittorio Orlando,
Italian premier; Baron Sonnino,
Italian foreign minister; Gen. John
J. Pershing, Maj. Gen. Sir David
Henderson, former president of the
British air council; Admiral w. S.
Benson and Col. E. NJ. House. Many
prominent figures in political life
were present.
Following the reception that sue
ceeded the dinner, Mr.. and Mrs. VIII
son were escorted to their carriage
by the earl of Derby and the sec
rotary of the embassy.
Continental Europe makes much
OF the Yuletide; so in the absence
of President Wilson and others
closely identified with the war
settlement and because of many holi-
day social functions engaging the
Americans, it is not likely that there
will be political or peace develop
ments of note. The week will be de.
voted principally to perfecting the
machinery of the conference.

back feeling better, but soon grew
worse and his physicians decided
that TRANSMISSION of blood was the
only chance TO save him. His son,

allow his blood to be given his
father. For a time it seemed that
the operation was successful and Mr.
Porter began to grow stronger, but

''HEIS TRAITOR"
ANESE SAYS
Of man He SHOT
Slayer, Eminent AIienist, Had
Expressed Fear of His
Victim; Embassy Goes
to His Defense.

Baltimore, Dec. 22-At the Jap
anese embassy in Washington to-
cay it was announced that counsel
would be retained to defend the case
OF DR.. Nobura Ishida. the Japanese
aiienist. who yesterday shot and
killed DR.. George B, Wolff at the
Sheppard and Enoch Pratt hospital
near this city. 1t was also stated
at the embassy that DR.. lshida
ranks among the, foremost alien
lists of Japan. A representative of
the embassy came to Baltimore last
night to see the prisoner and in
quire into the circumstances OF the
shooting.
When DR.. Edward Brush, superin-
tsndent OF the hospital, heard the
reports of the pistol and with other
persons entered the office he saw
the body of DR.. Wolff lying on the
floor just beneath his desk, while
above him stood the Japanese with
the smoking revolver in his hand.
DR.. Brush grabbed the Japanese and
wrestling the revolver from his
hands, led him into his office, while
the other physicians struggled in
vain to save the life of their CO.
worker.
Calls His Victim Traitor.
While holding the Japanese physi-
clan firmly lest he make an attempt
to escape, DR.. Brush asked him why
he had shot DR.. Wolff. Ishida re-
piled: "He's a bad man. He say
I'm spy. He is traitor to this
country and to Japan. He is spy"
DR.. Brush said that some time ago
Ishida told bin he feared DR.. Wolff.
The latter had a habit of staring abb
stractedly at times. Once he fixed
his eyes upon Ishida and the Japa-
nese said he feared VOLTS penetrat-
ing eyes and asked DR.. Brush if he
possessed power of hypnotism.
gDr. Ishida was sent to this coun-
try by the Japanese government to
study medical institutions. He had
expected to return next summer.
His acquaintance with DR.. Brush
was through an article that he had
contributed to the American Journal
Of Insanity, of which DR.. Brush is
editor. He is 43 years old and has
wife and two children in Japan.
Before coming to this country
Ishida was professor of mental dis
eases at Nagasaki medical college,
Japan. He has published numerous
articles on insanity and is the author
Of several books. At the present
time an additional volume is on the
press. He had been at the Phipps
clinic of the Johns Hopkins hospital
and had made an inspection of the
large hospitals in the west and in
New York City.

Aleut Indians Live
in Northern Alaska
Like Tribes Of Old

Cordova, Alaska, Dec. 22.-Wind
S ept Attu Island, bit of Alasna at
the tip of the Aleutin string, farther
west than any other part of North
America, is the home of tribe of
about 100 Aleut Indians, said to be
the poorest people, financially, on
earth.
Nature, however, provides these
far-away Indians a living. From
Attu and the nearby islands and
from the surrounding waters they
get eggs, fish, geese, seals, occasion
ally a walrus, berries and lately blue
fox.
FIR the far South Pacific, ."e
Japan current, it is said, brings fuel
Driftwood, thought to be from the
Philippine Islands, Hawaii and other
southern lands, is scattered along
Attu beaches. No trees grow on
the island
For clothes the natives used goods
brought from the outside world by
occasional traders. Those lacking
in the cloth of the whites make
their garments from the grass and
skins.
Like the Indian tribes of old. a
native chief leads these Aleuts and
acts as their head in all matters,
trading, hunting, fishing as we'll as
ir the councils of the tribe-and in
the Russian church services to which
the natives still adhere.
Russians first settled on the is
lands in l747 when they sailed west
of the Commodore islands off
Kamchatka and established an i'm
portant trading post on Attu. The
Russians planted herds of cattle and
goats but in a few years both the
Russians and their stock left for
other parts.

raw eggs, on account of stomach

tinued, 81 have suffered with my
stomach and, although l have spent
thousands of dollars, nothing ever
helped me until / got Tanlac. My
appetite left me entirely and what
little / did eat would almost double
me up with pain and l would bloat
up with gas until l could scarcely
breathe. During the past five years,
especially, | have suffered a great
deal from constipation, felt tired out
all the time, had no energy, and was
so drowsy and listless that if ! tried
to talk business to a man it was an
effort to express what l wanted to
say. My health finally got so bad
that / was forced to give up splen-
did position in Pocatello, Idaho, and
nobody, except those in the same
condition, can fully understand how
l suffered.
81 had almost lost faith in all
medicines, as / had tried so many
without results, but Tanlac certainly
has been a revelation to me. | can
now eat just anything l want and
never experience particle OF
trouble. / have never had better
appetite, and all signs of indiges-
ton, gas and distress after eating
are gone. Tanlac has also relieved
me of constipation and strengthened
and built me up until l feel as full
of energy as when l was a boy
