VOLUNTEER FORCE IS LOST
Conterees Expect to Reach Agree
ment in Few Days, but Federal
Tay Measure Is Still Being
' Advocated in Committee.
TTASHIN'GTON. May 10. Conferees
on the Army reorganization bill In an
all-day session failed to reach a final
agreement on disputed phases of the
' measure, but both Senate and House
members said tonight there was a gen
eral feeling they would get together
after several more days of discussion.
All were agreed that it was useless
to talk further for the standing Army
of 250,000 men or to plead any longer
for the Senate's proposed Federal vol
unteer reserve army. Much of the day
was spent in discussing the probable
agreement on the regular Army and
the general understanding seemed to
be that the peace strength would be
fixed at approximately 180.000 men.
Champions of the volunteer reserve,
who are reluctantly yielding to its re
jection by the House, are urging per
fection of the training camp provision
of the House bill and hope it may be
amended along the lines proposed in an
amendment offered in the Senate by
Senator Lodge. This would provide for
pay at the rate now received by en
listed men of the regular Army for
citizens who enlist in instruction camps
during the period they are in training.
With such a provision, it is argued,
young men who could not otherwise
afford to devote a month or more each
year would fancy an opportunity to
attend the Instruction camps.

Judge McGinn and ex-Senator Ful
ton Exchange Remarks.
TVhnn Circuit Judge Henry K. McGinn
halted a case before him yesterday
morning- after one witness had testified
for the plaintiff and the defense had
not been put on. with the declaration
that the plaintiff should have judg
ment, he precipitated a bitter personal
attack from ex-Senator Charles TV'.
Kulton.
There was a general exchange of re
marks of an uncomplimentary nature,
nd the case finally was taken up
ngain and went to the jury, which re
turned a verdict for the man Judge
.McGinn had said was deserving: of the
juilgment.
The case was that of J. T. Beach
against the Oregon Sea Food Company
for $120 salary due. The jury returned
a verdict in favor of Beach.

EUREKA, Cal., May 10. Leopold
Waldo, one of three convicts who es
caped from the road camp in Mendo
cino County last Sunday, was captured
today in the brush country near Dyers-
vine, by tieorge P. Atmore. one of the
pursuing posse, who trailed the fugi
tive from his last night's bed in the
underbrush. Waldo had a half loaf
of bread and a piece of venison. He
was unarmed, and did not resist.
The other two fugitives are still at
liberty. The posse hunting for them
was increased today by the dispatching
of two more prison guards.
Citizens of DyerviMe are said to be
getting a bit panicky since they were
awakened from sound slumber at 10
o'clock last night by the cracking of a
revolver in the hands of Guard Bow
man, who fired a stream of bullets
after one of the fleeing convicts. Bow
man called "halt:" when a man,
whom he recognized as one of the fugi
tives, started to cross a bridge. The
fusillade ot bullets merely urged him
to go faster. He escaped.
Members o the posse bel'eve they
have the others Burrounded, although
they have not been seen since Sunday,
when it was Bowman again who fought
a running revolver duel with them.
They are going to try to starve the
hiding convicts out of their lair in the
underbrush of a country so wild that
hardy trappers seldom venture there.

Justification for breaking relations
with Germany should a vessel carrying
Americans either as passengers or as
members of the crew be torpedoed in
violation of the German pledge.
It is now said the "Joker" in the lat
est German assurances lay in the state
meat that such assurances applied to
merchantmen "recognized by interna
tional law."
It is declared by the Administration,
however, that it will not enter into any
discussion as to what are merchantmen
recognized by international law and
what are not. This Government will
determine for itself whether a vessel
torpedoed in violation of the Ger
man pledge was a merchantman and
will act in accordance with the facts
which its own agents gather.
That the President was Justified in
threatening to break off relations on
account of the Sussex is now apparent
from the German admission.

May 10. Statements made to
day by Representative Kitchin, Dem
ocrat floor leader of the House, indi
cate that the Oregon & California land
grant bill may not be brought up for
consideration before the latter part of
next week. Mr. Kitchin said the rural
credits bill was likely to consume all
of Thursday and Friday and the ship
ping bill probably would be taken up
as soon as the rural credits bill passed.
Representative Lenroot. of Wiscon-
ln, who is hostile to Oregon's inter
sts in this legislation, is urging Chair
man Kerris to call up the land grant
bill next Monday, which is suspension
day. If his plan should be carried out.
debate on the bill would be limited to
20 minutes on a side and no amend
ments could be offered. Mr. L'enroot
opposes allowing Oregon and the coun-
les anv more tnan they get under the
bill as It stands and he desires to bring
the bill up under suspension in order
to shut off amendments which Repre
sentative Sinnott and Hawley intend to
propose.

Just as coal, when It burns, leaves

bustible material In the form of ashes,
to the food and drink taken cay after
lay leaves In the alimentary canal a
certain amount of indigestible mate
rial, which if not completely eliminated
irom the system each day, becomes
iood for the millions of bacteria wiiich
infest the bowels. From this mass of
left-over waste, toxins and ptomaine
like poisons are formed and suck.d
into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before - eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot wa
ter with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in It to wash out of the
thirty feet of bowels the previous day's
accumulation of poisons and toxins and

clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from the

enthusiast on the subject.
Remember, inside bathing Is more
important than outside bathing, be

" Adv.
dent so as to require "visit and search
If the Sussex had been visited her
identity would have been established
and the death and injuries inflicted on
innocent non-combatants would have
been avoided.
Germany further excuses the sub
marine commander by saying that he
was "misled by the appearance of the
vessel under the pressure of the cir
cumstances."
Hurried Action No Excuse.
He is declared to have formed his
Judgment "too hurriedly" In establishing
her character, and that he therefore did
not act fully in connection with the
"strict instructions which called upon
him to exercise particular care.
So far as the Sussex is concerned
there will be no rupture of relations
in view of the recent assurance given
to this Government, tmt it ie declared
by those close to the President that i
repetition of the outrage will not per
mit consideration of explanations such
as given in the case of the Channel
liner. In other words, submarine com
manders cannot be even indirectly
Justified by the contention that they
made a mistake and by the admission
of their government that "they acted
too hurriedly."
Question May Not Be Settled.
The authorities are perfectly willing
to give all the credit possible for ad
mitting that the Sussex was illegally
attacked, but they are Inclined to re
sard this action, together with the con
tinuance of the German U-boat cam
paign, as indication that the submarine
question is by no means settled. The
Cymric, en route from New York to
Liverpool, was sunk without warning
and news today reached the State De
partment of destruction of four add!
tional steamers, two of which flew
the Norwegian flag. In none of these
cases was there visit and search.

Edward Tracy in 1873, but
Defence Alleges Forgery.
NEW YORK, May 10. Sixty suits to
recover alleged dower rights of Mrs.
George Washington Adams, of Boise,
Idaho, were discontinued today by stip
ulation between herself and attorneys
for Andrew Carnegie. Mrs. Henry t
Phipps and other wealthy persons, who
own xio.ooo, uuo wortn ot real estate
once in the possession of the late Ed
ward Tracy, a wealthy brewer.
Mrs. Adams, who sued as Hortense
Tracy, has been ordered to produce
certificate to substantiate her assertion
that she was married to Tracy when
she was 16 years old, in 1872. She pro
duced a certificate, but, according to
an affidavit filed by counsel for the
defendants, the document was submit
ted to a handwriting expert, who de
clared it a forgery.
The certifcate bore the signature of
C. 12. Stoughton, according to the affi
davit, whereas Mrs. Adams had declared
that she was married to Tracy by Rev.
Norman Cook Stoughton, once an Epis
copal minister In Athens. N. Y. Mrs.
Adams was Hortense Pine, daughter of
a builder in Lansingburgh, N. Y at
the time of her alleged marriage. In
1687 she was married to Adams in
Idaho.
Tracy, according to the defense, lived
as a bachelor until his death in 1904.
Ills property was left to a sister. Last
year Mrs. Adams obtained a judgment
against a holder of property Tracy
once owned and the actions dismissed
today were then begun. The costs in
the suits, about $17,000, were ordered
entered against the plaintiff.
