FURIOUS
BECAUSE IGNORED
Venezuelan President's Digni
ty Hurt by French
Treatment.
PARIS POKES F'JN AT HIM
I.eadiiy Journal Demands Ills In

gias Holland Teaches Lee
ton to Proud Republic.
PARIS. Doc. II. President Castro, of
Venezuela, who arrived in this city last
pvenir.5 trom Bordeaux, has made no
advances to the French gov
ernment. He is reported as furi
ously anry at the manner in which
the jtovernment has received him in
France. . Sim-e- his arrival in Paris he
has remained shut up In his apart
ments in the hotel as closely as though
he were a prisoner and, barring a few
members of' the Venezuelan colony, he
ha8 seen nobody.
The officials of the Foreign Office
have been given orders not to explain
the position of the government towards
Castro. Said one official today:
"The conditions upon which the gov
ernment is willing to open negotiations
with Castro have been communicated
to him.
"What these conditions are, beyond
prohibiting President Castro from mak
ing any political declaration, are not
known, but it is believed that they In
volve a formal apology."
Leaves for Germany Today.
A reporter railed to see the Presi
dent today. The only member of Cas
tro's entourage visible said that noth
ing had been decided, but the party
possibly would leave for Germany to
morrow. A black maid In the nervlce
of M?tie. Castro was Bitting In a hall
outside her mistress" door, trying to
fret her foot into a newly purchased
pair of pointed shoes.
The French newspapers generally
poke fun at the "Venezuelan Dictator,"
nevertheless they Insist that the gov
ernment explain the reasons that In
duced it to change Its attitude toward
him.
At 4:30 thio afternoon President Castro,
accompanied by Dr. Baldo, one of his
physicians, came down the back stairway
of the hotel, entered an automobile and
was rapidly driven away.
Demands Castro's Expulsion.
The Temps protests loudly against the
equivocal position in which France has
been placed by the presence of Presi
dent Castro in the country and insists
that the Government explain the enigma
forthwith. The papers say it Is undig
nified to allow a man who flouted France
to remain here without apology.
"When M. Talgny (who was French
Minister at Caracas) was expelled." the
Temp declares. "America was stupefied
by our inaction and today Holland, with
lss of a case, is giving us a good lesson."
velt took the joke with great delight
He laughed all through the skit.
One of the most delightful skits of
the evening was furnished by a rollcall
after the recent political fight. The
mournful tap of a drum was heard In
the ante-room and there came march-

- - In Darkest Africa.
One skit was devoted to Mr. Roose
velt's African trip. The President ar
rived at the dinner at 10:30 o'clock.
Shortly afterward the lights were
switched off and the room left In com
plete darkness. The president of the
Gridiron Club announced: "We are
now in Darkest Africa." and the room
resounded with roars and growls of
wild animals. Presently the light rame
up with the lively announcement from
the dark. "Sudden sunrise in Southern
S-negarr.lla." and the guests at the
dinner found a tent on which waa the
sign "The Lookout."
The tent stood In the midst of a
tropical jungle. In front there were
discovered an orderly In khaki and
with helmet, a Zulu chief, who stood
guard with a spear, ami a mysterious
person who wore a label, "Auditor."
and carried a bell punch. The rattle
of a typewriter was heard within the
tent and then a voice saying: "Here,
secretary, take this."
Then followed:
"Scribbler's Magazine. New Tork;
Victoria Nyanza. April 1st. The lion
is a wild and ferocious animal."
xJictatlng Dollar Words.
At that moment it was discovered whv
the Auditor was in the party. He regis
tered each word with a bell-punch and
totaled the amocnt at a dollar a word
alter eacn sentence. Thus the dictation,
which was going on furiously In the tent,
sounded about like this:
"The lion Is a wild and ferocious ani
mal." "Eight dollar?," shouted the Auditor.
"It has a soft body and a hard face."
"Seventeen dollars.'
"It is the king of beasts and its daugh
ter is a princess."
"Twenty-nine dollars."
"The Hon roars like distant thunder."
"Thirty-flve dollars."
"But It Is nobody's business what Its
religion is."
"Forty-four dollars."
This dictation by the man In the tent
of a story for a magazine, and the
thrifty spirit- which prompted the plac
ing of an auditor to keep track of all, the
words used, at a dollar a word, caused
necdoua laughter. President Roose-
Goes to Attend Redmen Meeting, but
Meets Peculiar Death
Beforehand.
Frank Brady, an employee of E. C.
Atkins & Co., saw manufacturers, was
killed in an accidental and peculiar
manner Friday night. The accident oc
curred at the Auditorium building,
208 H Third street.
Brady, who is a member of Chinook
Tribe. Order of Redmen. left his home
at Eart Forty-first and Holgate streets
at 7 o'clock Friday evening to attend a
special meeting of the lodge In the hall
at the Auditorium building. The lodge
room is on the third floor and Just be
fore the meeting was called to order
Brady was seen by several members In
the hallway adjoining the lodge-iooms.
He did not attend the meeting, how
ever, and it was thought he had de
parted. On his failure to return home yester
day his wife became nervous and re
quested C. J. Belers. a friend of the
family, to Institute a search for him.
Belers went to the Auditorium build
ing and made Inquiries concerning
Brady. No one had seen him or heard
of him. However, Beiers happened to
glance from a window and was horri
fied to see the body of a man lying at
the bottom of a light court on the in
side of the building. Investigation
showed that it was Brady and it Is be
lieved the man accidentally fell from
the window.
The fall was 40 feet and an examina
tion of the man's body showed that he
haJ ' sustained - a fractured skull, a
brokeD arm and Internal Injuries. It
Is believed his death was Instant. Cor
oner Norden was notified and the body
was removed to the 'morgue. A de
tective was assigned to the case, but
nothing has been discovered that would
tend to show other than accident.
Bras' y was 38 years of age.
Southern and Eastern Men Say State
Laws five Enough Protection.
Speaker Asserts His Right to
Vote, Despite De Arniond.
WASHINGTON. "Dec. 12. The question
of state rights figured- prominently In
the debate in the House today on the
bill providing for the protection of aliens
in the United States In accordance with
treaties with foreten powers. The bill is
designed to relieve the United States from
what was stated on the floor by Shirley,
of Kentucky, to be "the embarrassing
I and often humiliating position 'arising
from its inability to make good the obli
gations of its treaties for the protection
of foreigners in thia country."
The opponents of the measure prac
tically were a unit in contending that the
laws of the several states were ample
to meet the situation whenever it pre
sented itself. Thes forces were 1-d by
Henrv of Texas. Carlton of Alabama.
Hughes of New Jersey, and DeArmond of
Missouri.
Southerners Fight Bill.
In the opinion of Henry it was going
too far to "take a cirouitous route and
confer on aliens rights which have not
been conferred by the Constitution." The
bill was too radical, he said.
Carlton said there was not an alien in
the country who had not a remedy in
case he waa Injured or threatened.
Shirley took issue with Mr. Henry and
said there was no law granting the
aliens rights superior to citizens.
After further discussion the bill- was
passed. 100 to 99. The vote was so close
that the Sp?aker ordered a recapitula
tion at the suggestion of Henry, of Texas.
This disclosed that the vote stood 100
to 100. This tie was broken by the vote
of the Speaker In the affirmative, which
again passed the bill.
Speaker's Vote Challenged.
De JVrmond challenged the Speaker's
vote on the ground that he had no right
to cast it after the vote had been, closed.
He contended that the only duty of the
Speaker in such a case was to announce
the result of the recapitulation.
In an elaborate decision, supported by
precedents which he read, the Speaker
held he had the absolute right to vote
and declared that his vote would stand.
From the Speaker's decision De Ar
mond appealed, but in the meantime
Jenkins moved to adjourn. Or that prop
osition a rollcall was forceu, resulting:
Ayes 99, nays 95.
RUSSIAN HANGMAN BUSY
WHOLESALE EXECUTIONS OF
REVOLUTIONISTS DAILY.
Encouraged by Quietude of Rebels,
Czar Slays Scores Another Early '
Outbreak Likely.
VIENNA. Dec. 12. (Special.) Pri
vate letters from Russian Poland and
Southern Russia indicate that the
Czar's government, encouraged by the
comparative quiet of the revolutionary
organizations, is taking- wholesale re
pressive measures, arresting hundreds
of suspects, who are then tried and exe
cuted literally by dozens.
There have been many executions at
Novo Rosslsk, In the Caucasus, and
many others at Kiev, Warsaw, Moscow
and other cities. At one trial In
Ekaerinoslav 80 persons were found
guilty and all were executed at one
time.
It Is thought that the revolutionaries
are merely waiting a favorable oppor
tunity and will soon be ready to cause
another serious upheaval.

Militia Acted On.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. The initial
movement to carry, out a recommenda
tion of the President was taken to
day when Representative Hull, chair
man of the committee on military af
fairs, introduced a bill, suggested by
the President, and prepared under the
direction of Mr. Taft. to provide for a
volunteer army In time of emergency.
The bill would revise the present law
to provide for the raising of a volun
teer 'army, which has been described
by the President as having been placed
on the statute books piecemeal and
hurriedly.
It is claimed for the bill that It Is
elastic, and under its provisions a force
of 2.000,000 men could be raised as
well as one of 60.000.

Pains in
the Stomach
Underwear sale. McAJlen & McDonnell.
Caused by Gas and Fool Odors
Speedily Removed by Stuart's
Charcoal Lozenges.
Trial Package By Mall, Free.
PyrOBls (Gastric pain), gastritis and
many other stomach and bowel trou
bles caused by formation of gas, are
almost Instantly removed by a gener
ous use of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges.
These little lozenges kill bad breath
and stop gas making by oxidizing the
odors and gases. Charcoal absorbs one
hundted times itself in gas. They turn
foul fumes and gases Into oxygen,
which sweeten the system. They are
made from pure willow and sweet
honey and are a delightful aid to the.
mouth, stomach and bowels. The
Japanese use charcoal fur a toothwash
and an old Chinese proverb runs thus:
"Sweet Is the breath of a Niponese"
(Japanese).
The mouth fluids are alkaline, thus
waste food held by tooth cavities is
attacked' and decays rapidly, causing
foul odors to arise. Charcoal renders
the , saliva sweet by oxidizing It and
does away with foul fermentations and
decay.
Every druggist carries Stuart's Char
coal Lozenges and many thousands of
sufferers from gas. foul breath, etc..
use these little lozenges, thus proving
thtlr popularity and their merit. Char
coal Is one of the best all-around
cleansers the system may partake of
and too much of it cannot be taken.
An entire box of Stuart's Charcoal
Loienges may be eaten with freedom
and only good will result.
Go to your druggist Immediately,
buy a box of Stuart's Charcoal Lozen
ges and prove these facts yourself; It
will cost you but twenty-five cents, or
send us your name and address and we
will send you a trial package free. Is
this not fair? Address F. A. Stuart Co.,
