ton, 50-year-old stock salesman from
Omaha, Neb., committed suicide at
the Prescott hotel yesterday morn
ing by drinking a solution of potas-
SUM cyanide. his body being discov-
cred by a chambermaid at II a. m.
after he had failed to answer several
calls.
Stengton left a note stating that
he had no relatives in Omaha or the
United States, but gave no reason
for his rash deed. He registered at
the hotel four days ago, and little
is known about him. He apparently
had no friends or acquaintance in
the city. A light was seen burning in
his room at a. m. and the light was
out when the chambermaid entered
at II o'clock. Coroner Wasen took
charge Of the remains and an in
quest will be held today. A telegram
has been sent to the authorities at
Omaha inquiring about the man.
The bottle which contained the
poison was found in the room, and q
glass from which he had evidently
drunk the solution was standing on
the bureau. Stengton's body was ly-
ing on the bed clothed in pajamas
when the chambermaid entered.

 "The Czar and his family are dead. That is positive"
 "The shooting of the Romanoffs was regarded as humane killing by the bolshevists. They probably wished to show some consideration for Royalty and this tragical murder was showing consideration in their warped brains.
 Tortured Priests.
 But the priests-many were stip- ped of their clothing and stood up right in especially constructed boxes filled with ice; thus they were froz- en to death. Others were thrown nak- ed on spiked blanks. Many were de- capitated. In many ways, inconceiv- able to the average human mind, they were massacred.
 "And some people are advocating that the bolshevists be recognized as the most democratic government in the worldi!.'
 "The bolshevists in control in Rus sia today will never be recognized. The socialists, the reasonable ones, are worthy of some consideration. But the bolsheviki-they are destruc- tive socialists and must go down." When General Paris arrives in France he will not only urge imme- diatc allied intervention in Russia, but will ask that the peace confer cnce make settlement in regard to the control of the trans Siberian rail- way. The allied commanders in Si- beria have no confidence in each other, he said, and the existing fric- tion over the transportation question is helping the bolshcviki cause.

SUPREME COUNCIL QUIET AS ID WORK
 BEING DISCUSSED
Night Meetings Do Not Re tard Progress of Peace
 Treaty.
{ (By The Associated Press)

Paris, Mar. 24.-The results of the deliberations of the supreme council today are not likely to be stated in the official conmunique and prob- ably will take form in their effect on the conference work, particularly with respect to separations frontiers and the league of nations.
 The advocates of the league of na- tlons maintain that it is in no way rctarding the progress of the peace treaty, as the league meetings are held at night and are nearing a con- clusion whereas the obstacles to the treaty are on questions of principle, on which the premiers thus far have been unable to secure an agreement.
 Discuss Poland.
 The war council again today dealt with Poland, which question is close to settlement It is understood that the recommendations of the Cambon Committee for a Polish corridor across East Prussia to the Baltic will prevail, despite the objections raised by Premier Lloyd George. The Polish divisions at present in France will probably proceed to the Baltic and may land at Koenigsberg, instead of Danzig, in order to avoid clash with the Germans over Danzig.
 The league of nations commission resumed it's sessions at $50 o'clock tonight, President Wilson presiding. The commission is expected to sit until midnight. It was not believed that the large, number of amend ments would be completed and the lewiston of the covenant concluded without another meeting.
 The amendments have been divid- ed into three classes: First, those by neutrals; second, those by an American senator; third, those framed by President Wilson, Colonel House and Lord Robert Cecil. The last named group includes all points which the framers of the instrument believe will clarify it's meaning and satisfy objections in all quarters.
 The text of the speeches of Sena- tors Lodge and Knox and the main points of the recent debate between Senator Lodge and Dr. Lowell, are being gone over in shaping these changes.

SUBSTITUTE FOR GASOLINE SAID TO
 BE HARMFUL
Acid Would Destroy Engine Or Motor and Impair
 Operations

New York, Mar. 24.-profcssor Roger Adams of Urbana, Ills, testi- flying today for the government at the court martial on Governors Island of Captain Edwin C. Weisberger, of Pittsburgh, charged with acts detri- mental to the United States and Great Britain and favorable to Ger many, declared that analysis of a chemical mixture submitted by the defendant to the British war mission as substitute for gasoline and pur- porting by him to consist of 95 per cent of water and five percent chem icals, was in reality "a saturated solution of picric acid and gasoline. y
 The government contends that use of the mixture with it's alleged picric acid content would ultimately de- stroy any internal combustion engine or motor and seriously impair the operation of submarines, motor trucks and other military and naval equipment.
 Had No Secrets.
 The mixture in question was sub- mitted to the British war mission in Washington, July 18th, 1918, and turned over to the American chemical warfare service for analysis. This was done, Arthur H. Wykeham George, of Baltimore, assistant dir ector of war supplies for the British mission, testified, "because we had no secrets and were working togeth- er." T# Wykeham- George, under cross eX- animation declared that he under stood the mixture was submitted to the British with view of it's pos sible adoption as a substitute for gasoline, but that there was no re- quest of remuneration as far as he knew A memorandum submitted to J. K. Burnett, of Pittsbufg, who was associated with the defendant in. the manufacture of the mixture, claimed that the substitute could be made at cost of cents gallon.

Ono of tho worst features of acid stomach is thatvcry often it. literally staves it's victims in the midst of plenty. And the strange thing about it is that the people w':h acid stomachs seldom know what their trouble really is.
 No matter how Good or wholesome the food may be. or how much they eat. they do not gain in strength. This is clearly explained by the fact that an acid-stomach cannot properly digest food. Instead of healthy, normal digestion, the excess acid causes the food to sour and fer ment. Then when this mass of sour, fermented food, charged with excess acid, passes into the intcstines, 1t be- comes the breeding place for all kinds of germs and toxic poisons, which in turn are absorbed into the blood and in this way distributed throughout the entire body. And that IS exactly why it is that so many thousands of people eat and eat and keep on eating and yet are literally starving in the midst of plenty. Their acid-stomachs make it absolutely impossible for them to get the full measure of nour- ishmcnt out of their food. And it doesn't take long for this poor nour- ishment to show its ill effects in q weakened, emaciated body.
 You may say: My stomach doesn't hurt me-" That may be true because many victims of acidstomach do not actually suffer stomach pains. Then again, there are millions who do suffer all kinds of aches and pains-head- aches, rheumatic twinges, gout, lum- bago, pains around the heart and in the chest-Who never dream that an
