You become constipated. The food you
eat ferments in your stomach instead
of digesting. This infames the stom-

Especial Dispatch to The Tribunel

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Alexander
|. Konovaloff.. Minister of Trade and
Industry in the Kerensky Provisional
Government, and the successor to
Premier Kerensky when the latter es-
capped from Petrograd at the time of
the successful Bolshevik coup d'etat,
conferred with Secretary of State Lam
sing at the State Department to-day.
Mr.. konOvaloH presented the Rus
sian problem and recommendations for
its solution with the cooperation of the
United States and the Allied nations.
There is good reason to believe that he
urged military and economic interven-
tion, declaring it would be favored by
the responsible elements and the masses
of Russia.
It is understood that Mr.. Konovoloff
will have an interview with President
Wilson and will confer also with Sec
retary Of War Baker and other high
officials. Upon leaving Washington he
Will proceed to Europe, where he will
make the same representations to
Great Britain, France and Italy.
Mr.. Konovaloff was said to-day to
share the views of Ambassador Makla-
koff at Paris, who has declared in favor
OF Allied armed intervention in Rus
STA and against the rendering of any
assistance to the Bolsheviki.
The representations being made by
Mr. Konovaloff. it was thought here,
would furnish a basis for fresh ex-
change of views on the Russian stu
ton by the Entente powers, Japan and
the United States. Mr.. Konovaloff was
accompanied to the State Department
by Ambassador Bakhmeteff

Count Tisza Mentioned

DR.. Tettal, Democrat, the dispatch
adds, has been elected chairman Of the
Polish Club, the Polish political or
ganization in Vienna. Last February
he proposed the famous motion for
joint tactical action among the Poles,
Czecho-Slovaks and South Slavs.
In discussing the crisis in the Hun
garian government, Budapest news
papers, says the "Lokal-Anzeiger," Of
Berlin, mention Count Tsza, presum-
ably as successor to Premier Wekerle.
Feared General Revolt
Discussing events which led up to the
resignation of the Austrian Cabinet, a
Vienna dispatch to the "Vossichc
Zeitung," Of Berlin, says that Baron
Burian took the position that he was
unable to make declaration against
the cession of East Galicia, as the
Poles demanded, because it was a
purely internal affair. Premier Won
Seydler was ready to declare that the
partition of Galicia should come only
by constitutional methods-namely, 3
two-thirds majority in the Reichsrat.
The Poles, however. demanded an ex-
pressed declaration that partition was
out Of the question, and also demanded
binding promise from the German
parties regarding an Austro-Polish So
luton.

Alleging Insult
Plaintiff Asserts Threat of EN-
ploye Put Her Under
Doctors Care

Alleging that she was insulted by
an employe Of the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company, Mrs. Irene Katherine
Buckmaster, wife of Richard Price
Buckmaster, filed suit for $4,000
against the company yesterday in the
Supreme Court. Mr.. Buckmaster, the
plaintiffs husband, is cousin of the
Right Honorable Stanley o. Buckmas-
ter, Baron of Cheddington, formerly
Lord High Chancellor of England.
Mrs. Buckmaster says in her com
plant that on the evening of May 13
last she was waiting for her husband
on the Fiftieth Street station of the
Second Avenue elevated railroad, when
a station employe wanted to know why
she was waiting there. She explained
that she expected her husband on a
train from downtown, whereupon, it is
alleged, the employe suggested that
probably Mrs. Buckmaster was "wait-
ing for some other woman's husband"
According to Mrs. Buckmaster, the
man followed this with other insulting
remarks, in the course of which he
said: "See here, had my eye on you,"
and threatening to have her removed
from the station. This alleged treat
ment made her i'll, the plaintiff says.
Mr.. Buckmaster came along before the
station man had an opportunity to
carry out his alleged threat.
Mrs. Buckmaster says that since the
complained of occurrence she has been
under the care of q physician.

French Socialists
To Send Delegates
ToLondon Meeting

PARIS, June 24-French Socialists
will send delegates. including Albert
Thomas, the former Minister Of MUM
tions, to the coming national conference
Of the Labor party in London.
Alexandra Varenne. founder of the
new Socialist group lately formed IN
France, was asked to-day if the Social
lists Of this group would accept the in.
vitation for Socialist conference in
Denmark rendered by 7. Stauning, tho
Danish Socialist leader. He stated that
if it was a question of comforting with
neutrals, the journey might be under
taken, but that if it was considered a
step toward Stockholm and an inter
national conference numerous Social
lists would oppose acceptance.
This pronouncement from the So
cialist group represented by M. Var
enne is considered important as a
symptom of the strengthening of
French unity. The ideas thus ex-
pressed also conform, it is pointed out,
to those of the British and American
labor parties

Mrs. Pankhurst
Calls Bolsheviki
Aids of Germany
Noted Sufragist Causes an
Uproar in Public School
Meeting

Branding the Bolsheviki as "vague
internationalists who have helped the
German agents bring Russia to her
knees" Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst pre-
cipitated an uproar last night at Pub
lie School 62, Hester and Essex streets,
that ended only after the noted suf-
frage militant had donned her fighting
clothes and given the Bolshevist SYM
pathizers in the audience the battle
that their excited Kisses, laughs and
questions called for.
II put the vague internationalism
that the Bolshevists of Russia feel
against the love of country. the love
that Is wise and sees its country's
faults, but loves just the same" Mrs.
Pankhurst said. "The internationalist
says patriotism is old-fashioned, but l
say the cosmopolitanism that will be
tender with the hairs of German heads
and yet will kill its next door neigh
shevism 7"
"Yes, yes!" came the answer. eve
night for the working people, Mrs.
Pankhurst!" shouted one.
Flight to Preserve Nations"
For several minutes the hall rang
with the shouts of the East Siders.
Then when the noise died down Mrs.
Pankhurst answered them.
eve fight to preserve nations great
and small from all domination, my
friends" she replied, mot for the in
terests OF one class alone. We fight to
make world where class will be elimi-
autocratic domination of the aristoc-
racy and the autocratic domination of
the working class. Glass war means
national disintegration, and national
disintegration means the victory of
Germany. Do you want Germany to

challenge.
Very we'll, then, forget your class
differences; forget your dreams. I've
dreamed dreams with the best of you,
and / faced death twelve times for my
dreams. But now ! know that the
1ncts about Russia demand more than
dreams. They demand action; and if
you won't help. We'll save you in spite
Of yourselves"
Questioned About Cossacks
Mrs. Pankhurst cut her address short
to answer questions from the audience.
Mrs. Pankhurst's attitude on the Co.'S
sacks caused particular disapproval
and discussion.
Does Mrs. Pankhurst call the Co.'S
sacks the liberators of Russia ?" asked
one youth, amid laughs and jeers.
II do not" replied the speaker.

Cossacks are better friends of liberty
to-day than are those others in Russia

When asked just what specific aid

that military aid was absolutely i'm

German Culture Loses
Fund Given by Schif
Endowment to Cornell Will Be
Devoted to Study of HUI
man Civilization

ITHACA, N. Y, June 24.-At the sug-
gestion of Jacob H. Schiff an endow-
ment of 100000, which he gave to
Cornell University in 1912 to promote
studies in German culture, will be de-
voted to a broader purpose. The an
rouncement was made to-day that the
trustees had complied with Mr.. -Schiff's
wish and voted to substitute the words
human civilization" for German cul-
ture" in the name of the foundation.
Mr.. Schiff asked that the income of
the fund for next year be used for a
series of lectures on the civilization of
France. The trustees requested Presi-
dent Schulman, who will be in France
this summer, to arrange for an early
visit to Cornell by some French
scholar. In subsequent years the en-
dowment will provide for lectures on
the heritage of Europe and America
from the Semitic, Hellenic and Latin
civilizations.
The worlds loss of respect for Ger
man institutions has defeated the
original purpose of this endowment
during the last three or four years
and the income of late has not been
appropriated. The accumulation will be
used to buy library books dealing with
the present war for the university.
Two German professors lectured on
the Schiff foundation before the war.
Erich Marcks, of the University Of
Hamburg, gave q course on German
history in 1918 and in the spring of
1914. Ernst Elster, of the University
