SECRETARY OF WAR'S
STORY CULLED 'BUI'
Baker Heckled at Hearing of
House Committee.
DATA ASKED ON SIBERIA
fuller of Massachusetts Insists He
Cannot Get Reason 'Why V. S.
. Troops Are in Russia.
WASHINGTON". Sept. 15. When Sec
retary Baker told the house military
committee today that the only reason
for putting American troops into Si
beria was to guard the trans-Siberian
.railroad. Representative Fuller, repub
lican of Massachusetts, told Mr. Baker
his reason was "all bunk."
"Why shouldn't we know the real
reasons?" demanded Mr. Fuller. "I have
listened to your romantic story about
Russian and Siberian conditions but I
don't get an answer."
"Unfortunately that is not my fault,"
Secretary Baker replied.
Return of the American Siberian
force, Mr. Baker explained, is largely
a matter of policy. Their presence, he
ealL was to guard supplies at Vladivo
stoK and support the remnants of the
Cz;ho-Slovak forces. Battles fought
thure by entente forces, he explained,
have been defensive.
Volunteer replacements are being
Bent to relieve drafted men. Air. Baker
said, and 3893 have left this country.
The committee discussed a resolu
tion by Representative Mason, repub
lican of Illinois, demanding a with
drawal of all American forces now in
countries not at war with the United
States. Chairman Kahn held congress
has no authority to order euch a withdrawal.

HIS MUSCLES
TIED IN KNOTS
That Is the Way McCoy Says
His Rheumatism Made
Him Feel.
"Tanlac put me back on the Job
again and I'm ten pounds heavier than
I was when I started taking it," said
E. McCoy, a well-known plasterer, liv
ing at 506 Sixth avenue South, Seattle.
"Stomach trouble and rheumatism
had kept after me for six years until I
had to quit my work entirely," he con
tinued. "From the back of my neck
down into my arms and shoulders the
pains would strike me and it seemed
that all my muscles were tied in knots.
I could hardly lift my hand to my head
and instead of getting relief I got
worse all the time. In ray right hip
the rheumatism settled and I got so I
couldn't move without being in such
pain that big beads of sweat would
form on my forehead. I would take a
catch in my neck and for days I
wouldn't be able to turn my head, and
whenever I had to look to one side or
the other, I would have to turn my
whole body. My stomach was in a ter
rible shape. After every meal, my food
would sour and form gas which crowd
ed up into my throat and choked me
until I couldn't get a deep breath and
my heart would skip and flutter until
I was afraid I had heart trouble. I
was dizzy all the time and my head
would swim until I couldn't walk along
the street without holding on to some
thing. 1 was half-starved because I
couldn't eat anything to build me up
and was going down hill all the time.
"I actually believe Tanlac has saved
my life, for I couldn't have kept up
much longer like 1 was. I saw Tanlac
advertised in the papers and started
taking it and commenced to improve
before I had finished the first bottle.
I have taken eight bottles so far and
am back on my job feeling fine. I can
do more work in a day now than I have
been able to for years and am just like
a new man. My meals are a pleasure
to me for I can just eat anything I
want and I sure want enough, for my
appetite has come back in full force.
The fluttering spells with my heart
have disappeared, gas does not form in
my stomach and I haven't a pain left.
I can almost run up a ladder when 1
am at work, for my arms and legs are
as good as new since the rheumatism
has gone. I can swing my arms in a
circle like a school boy at play and
never feel a catch or a tinge .of pain,
and am just simply a well man, so its
no wonder I praise Tanlac, for it's the
only medicine that ever helped me."

Task of Drawing Cp Turkish Treaty

lished fay Arrangement.)
PARIS, Sept. 15. (Special Cable.)
Rumors are current here again that the
peace conference will adjourn soon un
til the beginning of next year or until
next spring. There are strong reasons
to suppose that there will be no ad
jaurnment until the Bulgarian and
Hungarian treaties have been disposed
of and until Galician matters have been
straightened out.
' The Bulgarian treaty was to have
been handed to the enemy delegates
yesterday but objections were presented
by Roumania and Greece who said that
under the treaty they will not receive
enough economically and territorially,
while Bulgaria, they point out, will get
too much territory. The Hungarian
treaty is practically completed.
The only worry of the peace confer
ence is to find an Hungarian govern
ment to deal with. After this the con
ference may adjourn and leave the task
of drawing up the Turkish treaty to
new delegations. Premier Lloyd George
arrived in Paris tonight and immedi
ately engaged in a long conference with
Frank Lipolk, tomorrow Lloyd George
will see Premier Clemenceau. It is con
sidered extremely unlikely that Lloyd
George will sit as head of the British
delegation again.
The thorny Teschen problem has been
solved at last. President Paderewski
left for Poland Saturday to prepare for
a plebiscite in the Cola region as was
ordered by the supreme council.

peace treaty should be affected by the
constitution.
The note proceeds to point out that
article 112 of the constitution says no
Germans shall be delivered up to a
foreign tribunal, although the peace
treaty expressly provides that certain
persons, accused of the violation of the
laws of war, shall be delivered for trial
by a foreign tribunal.
The note ends with the copy of a
diplomatic document which the Ger
man plenipotentiaries must sign in the
presence of representatives of the al
lied and associated powers and which
the German legislative authorities must
ratify within a fortnight after the
treaty of peace is in force.
The text of the diplomatic note says:
"The undersigned, duly empowered to
act in the name of the German gov
ernment, recognizes and declares that
all prescriptions of the German con
stitution which are in contradiction to
the Versailles treaty, are not valid,
notably the admission of Austrian rep
resentatives can take place only if con
formable with the treaty, the league of
nations gives assent to a modification
of Austria's international situation."
Chester H. Rowcll, in Speech at San
Francisco, Wants Campaign on
Insane Radicalism.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 15. Plana for
the California campaign in the na
tional Americanization movement to
perpetuate the memory of Theodore
Roosevelt were discussed here today,
when prominent Californians, without
regard to political alignment, met in
conference. Chester H. Rowell, pub
lisher of the Fresno Republican, and
John Francis Neylan, publisher of the
San Francisco Call-Post, were among
the speakers.
The delegates received a pleasant
surprise when Lieutenant-Colonel Theo
dore Roosevelt dropped In on the con
ference unannounced. Mr. Rowell had
just started speaking when Colonel
Roosevelt entered the hall. He was in
vited to address the delegates, but
asked to be excused on the ground
that he was to speak tonight at the
American legion meeting.
Mr. Rowell said that the spirit of
Roosevelt would revolt at the idea of
a shaft being erected in his honor as
a memorial, but declared that he would
be delighted over the Americanization
movement or "any other plan in oppo
sition to insane radicalism."
SHEEPMEN LOSE $45,000
Appropriation Said to Have Been
Turned Back to General Fund.
BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 15. (Special.)
Approximately $45,000 of state funds
for sheep inspection was transferred
by the former state board of examiners
to the general fund and therefore was
made available for the inspection work,
according to a statement made this
morning by Hugh Sproat, president of
the Idaho Wool Growers' association, at
a meeting of sheepmen of the state
with Roy L. Black, attorney-general,
and Miles Connon, agricultural commis
sioner, at the statehouse.
Mr. Sproat said the sheepmen would
make every effort to recover the money,
holding that, as it was appropriated by
the legislature for a special purpose, it
could not have been legally turned into
the general fund.
ALTITUDE MARK APPROVED
Aero Club Substantiates 3 0,3 0 0-Foot
Record Set by Rohlfs.
NEW YORK, Sept. 15. The Aero
Club of America announced today it
had officially approved the altitude
record made by Roland Rohlfs July 30,
at Roosevelt' field, Mineola.' The
height reached was 30.300 feet, which
established a new American record for
a pilot alone and exceeded the offi
cial French record of 29,937 feet made
by Jean Casale May 28.
Rohlfs made another altitude flight
at Mineola yesterday and reached a
height of 34,000 feet, but this figure
has not been verified officially.

BASEL, Sept. 13. (By the Associat

says the text of the note of September

called the wrraan reply an 'ingenuous
artifice" which would enable, for in
stance, the German constitution to de

L. C PALMER, UNDER ARREST
TAKEN' TO MORGUE.
California Man, Involved in Murder
of Minister's Widow, Reported
Seen Near Womans Home. ' ..
CHICAGO, Sept. 15. L. C. Painter,
who claims Los Angeles as his home
and is said to have claimed to be
wealthy, under police escort was con
fronted today in a morgue with the
body of Mrs. Louisa Brown, 60 years
old, widow of a Methodist minister,
who was beaten and strangled to death
in her suburban home last week. He
was arrested Saturday as a suspect
and the police, although admitting
there was only circumstantial evidence
involving Palmer, expressed satisfac
tion with their efforts to clear up the
case.
Mrs. Palmer Sunday denied that her
husband had been a motion' picture
actor in Los Angeles but said he had
been a chemical engineer for several
California oil enterprises. She reiter
ated that he was a relative of the late
Potter Palmer, millionarle merchant of
Chicago, which the family has denied
The police case chiefly rests on the
fact that there had been a disagree
ment between Andrew A. Stuhl, Pal
mer's father-in-law, and Mrs. Brown,
from whom Stuhl had purchased a
horse. The difficulty was. about full
payment, but 48 hours before the widow
was slain Palmer had appeared at her
home and paid the balance due her.
There also were two neighbors who
thought Palmer looked like one of
two men seen running near the widow's
home the night before the body was
found on Thursday.
The police have not yet been able to
explain the motive for the murder.
They took Palmer to the Chicago bu
reau of identification and found
that he had no police record. He also
stood the ordeal of viewing the body
of the murdered woman without any
suspicious conduct. He and his wife
told how they had spent Wednesday
night in Chicago attending a theater.
The same night they said they bought
tickets for Los Angeles, intending to
return there, accompanied by Mrs.
Palmer's father and sisters.
