sion was made to Inspector "Wheeler today

Julius "Wiltrax, when the latter declared

and killed 6-year-old Paul PaszkowskL
For nearly a week the Wiltrax. boy has
been in the custody of the police, as has
his father, whom he now accuses, and also
his mother. Tho circumstantial evidence
was so strong that a charge .of murder
was preferred against the man. The fam
lly maintained a stolid, silence, notwith
standing the repeated "sweatings" they
were put to. They at all times denied
at one time, while being questioned, ac
cused his parents with killing the boy.
Later, however, he denied the accusation.
This afternoon he was again subjected to
tho "sweatbox," and, after being ques
tioned, at length broke down. He said:
"Monday morning I was awakened be
tween 7 and S o'clock by the sound of a
revolver shot I Jumped out of bed and
ran to the kitchen, from where the sound
came. Tho kitchen Is in the rear of the
saloon. There I saw Paul on the floor.
with father standing over him. He had a
smoking revolver In his hand. While. I
stood there father opened a door In the
floor and let Paul fall into the basement.
I don't know when the body was re
moved. Mother told me afterward that
father had shot Paul because ha had
broken the wagon."
Inspector Wheeler was satisfied with the
boy's statements, and did not cress him
for more details. It Is the belief of the
inspector that the body of the boy lay in-
me oasemem several aays before it was
Dunea.

Thomas Huxley it was, who described
the brain as a perfect logic engine, work
ing without friction, without fret and
without fear, with the strain equally
divided. tt The question then becomes,"
says Dr. Pierce, uhow to run this engine
without blowing up the boiler, without
accident, and without sending the loco
motive to the repair shop. An ignorant
.man-cannot run an engine; neither can
fL man over-work his brain unless he
observes certain laws of health without
meeting with some disaster." If the
engine "is properly oiled and cared for it
will last a great many years, and in the
same way if the human mechanism is
properly looked after it will last the
allotted .three score and ten years. As
civilization progresses, the draft on the
brain and nerves increases, bnt no class
of work burns mp blood as fast as brain
work. Hard work confined to shop or
office, without the invigorating air and
sunshine becomes 'the pace that kills,'
the muscles' and flesh become flabby and
the blood watery. The human system
must be a laboratory for the constant
manufacture of rich, red blood. Success
and courage depend upon the blood and
the blood depends upon the stomach,
for the stomach, when healthy, takes
up from the food we eat the elements
required for the blood. If the stomach
cannot assimilate the food taken up,
then the blood and the nerves starve for
the proper nourishment they require.
This human machine soon breaks down,
like the engine without coal for its boil
ers, because the. heart, liver and lungs
do not receive the pure blood neces
sary to keep them strong and active. "
CUBA PLAYING FOR GAIN
AMERICAN TREATIES HELD UP TO
HELP RECIPROCITY.
CoBgrcii Feels That Promise. of Mc
Klnley Should .Be Kept Palma's
Influence AH PoTrerful.
HAVANA, May 9. The disposition to
delay action on tho pending treaties.
coupled with the fact that the Senate
foreign relations committee still shows
no indication of reporting the coaling and
naval stations agreement made February
15, between President Roosevelt and Pres
ident Palma, Is causing Increasing doubt
as to whether all or any of the matters
will be disposed of before the close of
the present session of Congress. Con
gress Is likely to adjourn within six
weeks. The next session will begin In
November, simultaneously with the spe
cial reciprocity convention of the "United
States.
President Palma Is anxious to conclude
all treaties as early as possible, but he
takes occasion to consult with Senators
and Representatives at all stages, with
the result that numerous objections and
pretexts for delay are made. No real
question Is pending in connection with
tho other treaties. ' The placing of the
Piatt amendment In the form of a treaty
Is Cuba's own proposition, made with the
purpose of taking the Piatt requirements
out of the constitution and out of pol
itics. The treaty conceding the. Isle of
Pines to Cuba causes no objection here,
The only treaty in which there is room
for discussion Is that for carrying out
the agreement of the Presidents, referring
to the leasing of .coaling and naval sta
tlons. which Is strictly In accordance
with the Platt amendment.
Some persons favor delay, now that
Cuba is not bound to yield the conces
sions required by the Platt amendment,
unless the United States grants reciproc
ity. This contention is based upon the
allegation that President McKlnley def
initely promised reciprocity. It Is also
held that, since the United States Is re
tarding reciprocity, Cuba has equal rea
son to retard other matters. Others as
sume that the amount of lands described
In the naval and coaling agreements Is
unwarrantedly large. The leaders gen
erally, although disinclined to discuss the
matter, appear to agreo that thero Is no
necessity for haste; that whatever Cuba
gains will be through a waiting policy.
Some Senators and Representatives who.
as members of the constitutional conven
tlon opposed the Platt amendment, say it
would be inconsistent for the amend
ment to be accepted now.
Another potent reason for delay is
found In the fact that elections for half
of tho members of Congress and all mu
nicipal officers are to be held In Decern
ber, and politicians are not Inclined to
speak In favor of carrying out the pro
visions of the Platt amendment during
the campaign, and especially as It Is an
ticipated that the House, as well as the
Senate, will be required to act In author
izing1 the leasing of lands to a foreign
government.
President Palma's Influence is generally
felt to be strong enough, if determinedly
exercised, to carry these matters through
the House, as well as the Senate.
RUN ON A BUFFALO BANK
False Report of a Defalcation Ex
cites Depositors. '
BUFFALO, N. T., May 9. There was a
run on the Fidelity Trust Company today.
The board of trustees of the Institution
has Issued a statement which alludes to
rumors current during the last week that
there was a large deficit In one of the
banks.
On Thursday and .Friday xna rumor
took the form of a statement that a large
defalcation existed. It was said that the
president had used J400.000 of the money.
The results thus far have been the with
drawal of some accounts, aggregating
possibly 5100,000. The bank: has offered a
reward for Information disclosing- the
name ot the person originating the rumor.
The trustees pronounce the story to be
absolutely iaiso in every particular.
Neither Mr. Forman nor Mr Williams'
nor any other trustee or official owes a
single dollar to the bank. There has ben
"Remember this, that our bodies will
not stand the strain of overwork with
out jgood, pure blood any more than the
engine can run smoothly without oil, or
can run at all without fuel and water."
After many years of study in the active
practice of 'medicine, Dr. R. V. Pierce
found that when the stomach was out of
order, the blood impure and there were
symptoms of general break -down, a
tonic made of the alterative extracts of
certain herbs and roots was the best cor
rective. This he called: Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. For over a
third of a century this tonic and altera
tive has been more largely sold than any
other blood .medicine or nerve tonic.
Being made without alcohol, this "Med
ical Discovery n does not shrink up the
red blood corpuscles, but on the other
hand it increases their number, and they
become round and healthy. It helps
the stomach to assimilate or take up the
proper elements from the food, thereby
helping digestion and curing dyspepsia,
heartburn, and many uncomfortable
symptoms, such as heart-palpitation due
to gas formed in the stomach. It is
especially adapted in diseases attended
with excessive tissue waste, especially in
"convalescence from the various spring
fevers, whether of a malarial or typhoid
character. As a tonic and reconstructive
during and after the influences of grip
it will prove of particular value. It has
been extensively used as a re -builder
after the severity of a rheumatic attack.
. WI now take the opportunity to let
you know that 1 have not forgotten you
or your wonderful medicines," writes
Mrs. I. D. Cronk, Redfield, Oswego
no defalcation of any kind and the com
pany has i,O00,O00 to provide against any
demand. The run had almost ceased when
tho trust company closed its doors for the
day.
Owing to the known "stability of the

Commissioner Ide Says Removal of
Tariff Comes First.
WASHINGTON, May 9. Henry C. Ide,
of the Philippine Commission, in a state
ment concerning the Philippines today,
said:
T should say that the greatest neip
that Concxess can Rive lis would be to
relieve us of the heavy burdens Imposed
hv the Dlnslev tariff from the exports
from the islands to the United States. It
Is Imnosslble for the manufacturer of
cigars to .send his goods to the United
States without paying as a duty tarm
amounting to 75 per cent of the Dlngley,
or 75 per cent of $4.50 per pound ana
ner cent ad valorem in addition.
The restriction which prevents tne ac-
aulsltlon of more than 2500 acre3 of land
by one cornoratlon. he says, has prevented
the establishment of sugar Industries. He
thinks the limit should be 25,000 acres, In
order to secure the opening of large plan
tatlons. Of the friar question, Mr. Ide
said:
'The purpose of the Insular govern
ment Is to acquire the land belonging to
the friars and then to sell It to the pres
ent occupants on long terms of payment.
The friars are, In a sense, nonresident
owners, very much as are the landlords
of Ireland, and the tenants hold that the
difficulties are quite like those existing
in Ireland. They are very much aggra
vated by the fact that the friars have ex
erclsed constitutional power.
"To what extent has the establishment
of 'an independent Catholic church In the
Philippines progressed?
"It is Impossible for an outsider to de
termine Just how far that movement has
progressed. On the surface, the schism
would seem to be quite Important, but the
Catholic church is an institution that time
counts very little with. The Insular gov
ernment takes no part in those controver
sies, and has no views except to maintain
order. It is possible that had the Vatican
been able to meet Governor Taft's prop
osition for the sale of the friars' lands
and withdrawal of the friars from the lsl
anas, tnis scnism might have been
avoided.
