MISINFORMED, HIS PLEA Vrging Appointment of Commission of Inquiry, He Declares His Con duct Will Appear In Much Better Llglit. MANAGUA. Dec. . President Zelaya has asked the United States to send a. commission to Nicaragua to investigate conditions existing here and says that if its findings show that his administra tion Is detrimental' to Central America lie will resign.

ISDEMXITY CLAIMS TO WAIT Taft Preparing to Submit Nlcarag uan Facts to Congress. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. The Govern ment has substantially reached the con clusion that no demand for indemnity for the killing- of Cannon and Groce l-y the Nicaraguan military authorities will be pressed for the present. It. is designed to wait until after the issue between the Zelayan government and the rebels has been settled, this govern ment taking the position that there is at present no -responsible head to af fairs in Nicaragua. President Taft, meanwhile, is pre paring to lay before Congress at an arly date all the facts concerning the Nicaraguan situation with a view of receiving authority for any further, steps he may see fit to take in the in terest of Americans resident in that country, and with a view to putting ai. end to the Interminable strife in Cen tral America. The only communication the State Department has received from Vice Consul Caldera at Managua came this morning and related to matters of com paratively little importance. With the arrival at Corinto, possibly today or tomorrow, of the cruiser Al bany and the gunboat Yorktown from Magdalena Bay, the United States will be In a position to take aggressive steps for the protection of American Interests along the Pacific Coast of Nicaragua. Together with tne assis tance of the gunboat Vicksburg the three warships will have a quota of about 600 fighting men. It is believed In Washington that the mere presence of the three ships in the harbor of Corinto will be enough t insure the safety of American citizens and American property. IfOXDCItAJi" TROUBLE UfJIORED Downfall -of Zelaya Believed Signal for Uprising NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 4. The arrival here today on the steamship Heredia of Colonel Florenclo Davlta, a well known Honduran coming from Celba, has given -color to reports that a revo lution against the Davila administra tion in Honduras will follow the down fall of Zelaya. It is said Davila has come, here pre pared to take up the duties of Consul for a revolutionary party" of Honduras as soon as Zelaya is deposed, when a general outburst is expected in- that country. - Zelaya, it is stated, dictated Davila's selection as President of Hon duras, and it . is asserted - that choice has been a most unpopular one. Davila has been in conference with friends of ex-President Bonilla since his arrival. MEXICO NEUTRAL AT PRESENT But May-Send Creel to Washington to Confer Witli Knox. MEXICO CITY. Dee. 4. Mexico has done nothing so far in regard to the Nicarajruan matter. It is taking sides neither with Nicaragua nor the United States. This declaration was made today by Governor Enrique Creel, of Chihuahua, former" Mexican Ambassador at Washing ton. Governor Creel has been called to Mexico for consultation with a view of bis being sent to Washington In case certain representations made to the American Government are received with favor at Washington, but no formal note h been sent to Washington.' ARMY VERY AXGRX AT NAVT Selection of Marines Rather Tban Troops for Nicaragua Is Cause. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. Disappoint inent prevails in the Army over the se lection of marines instead of troops to be sent to Nicaragua. Without consulting Secretary of War Dickinson, it is said, orders went forth recently to prepare transports at San Francisco for Immediate use, but as soon as Mr. Dickinson heard what was ' going on, stillness settled ovr the shipyards where the transports were laid up. Mexicans Denounce Knox. MEXICO CITY. Dec. 4. The Mexican press, commenting editorially on the Nica raguan question, speaks sarcastically of the actions or the United States in sever ing relations with the Southern republic. Accualidades, a recently established Spanish newspaper, declares it was not the rupture that caused amazement, but the terms of Secretary Knox's letter, by reason or me abuse contained in it to ward a .republic and a sovereign nation." "These declarations." to quote the edi torial, "mark an epoch in Yankee Im perialism and sanctify the right which a strong nation has to make war upon a wean, in tne name or liberty and civiliza tion."

WEARIED WOMAN WALKS FRAIL AND FOOTSORE, SHE IS PLODDING THROUGH SNOW. Determined to Tramp From Sho shone to Denver in 1 7 Days, Hikes 120 Miles Without Sleep. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec. 4 Footsore and frostbitten, but game to the core, Mrs. Arizona Owens, who is walking from Shoshone, Wyo., to Denver on a wager, left here this morning for Denver. She arrived at Cheyenne shortly before midnight last, night, after a 35-hour battle with the severest storm of the year, dur ing which she had walked 120 miles with out sleep. Mrs. Owens left Shoshone 13 days ago. determined to walk to Denver in 17 days. small, almost frail, garbed like a gypsy. she plowed pluckily through snow above her shoetops during much of her Journey of the last few days. , During the long journey she lost count of the days and when she arrived at Hartville . Junction, 120 miles north of Cheyenne, she believed she was a day behind her schedule. To make up this supposed lost time, she decided to walk to Cheyenne without rest. A storm was raging Thursday morning when she left the Junction, but 6he was not daunted and plodded along all day Thursday and Thursday night through the increasing storm. By the time she arrived here her drawn features gave her a pathetic appearance. This morning the temperature had fallen to that of a blizzard when Mrs. Owens set out for Denver, which place she expects to reach in three days. BODY WAS MRS. SNEAD'S DOCTOR POSITIVELY IDENTI FIES DEAD WOMAN. Believed That Mental and "Bodily Torture Drove Her to Com mit Suicide. NEW YORK",- Dec ' 4. The physician, who attended Mrs. Ocey - Snead at the trirth of her baby; ; visited the morgue at East orange, N. J., and positively iden tified the- body there as that of Mrs. Snead. His, evidence, it is confirmed, disposes of a theory advanced by . insurance-companies in which Mrs. Snead held policies, that a substitute, intended to impersonate her. had been smuggled into the - unfurnished house, where on last Monday, - a young woman was found dead in a half filled bathtub. There is thus far no proof that the girl did not die as the note found at her side says by suicidal drowning. If the ease is pronounced one of suicide, the prosecution will endeavor to show that Mrs. Snead was driven to it by Insistent mental suggestion and deliberately in flicted bodily torture. Miss Virginia Warcilaw. an aunt of the victim, is still in ' Jail. Fletcher Snead, the missing husband, whose life also was Insured for $34,000, has not been found, and the police are In vestigating a rumor that he is a prisoner at the Elmlra. N. Y., reformatory. 515,000 FIDDLE, GIFT MRS. JOSEPH DREXEL GIVES STKADI VAHIt S TO BOY. Violin Is Bought of Widow or Late Antoninc Dvorak, Noted Composer. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec 4. (Spe cial.) Few violinists, even after they be come great, own a real Stradlvarius, but this good fortune has fallen to Domanico Bove, a young Italian of this city, whose career, many believe, will rival Kubellk's Most interesting of all is the fact that this musical treasure was the property of the late Antonlne Dvorak, the composer, from whose widow the violin was recently purchased by Mrs. Joseph Drexel and by her presented to the youthful Bove. Mrs. Drexel is widely known as a pat ron of music and interested as she has been in the young violinist's career it Is but natural that she should choose him for the honor of owning a Stradivarius. It Is whispered that Mrs. Drexel paid $15,000 for the instrument, which gives an idea of what such a gift means in pro salo dollars and cents. Mrs. Drexel made light of the matter when asked today about the gift. Bove is now in Prague, Bohemia, where it Is understood the violin was transmitted to him. Madame Dvorak resides in Prague. When The Stomach Stops Working Properly, Because There la Wind In It, Use Stuart's Dyspepsia . Tablets to Set It Going Again. A Trial Box Free. THE DOCTORS call it flatulency, but unprofessional folks know It' as "wind on the stomach,", and a most -distressing-state of things it is. It Is a serious condition of this great motor organ. Always annoying and painful ' in the extreme, at times often' leading to bad and fatal results. The stomach . em barrassed and hampered with wind cannot take care of its food properly and indigestion follows,, and - this has a train too appalling to enumerate. The entire system is" implicated made an active or passive factor in this trouble and life soon becomes - a questionable boon. - - - ALL THIS IS EXPLAINED in doctor books; how undigested food causes gasses by fermentation and fomenta tion in which process some essential fluids are destroyed burnt up wasted by chemical action, followed by defec tive nutrition and the distribution through the alimentary tra. cnemically wrong elements and as a consequence the stom ach and entire system is starved. Plenty of food, you see, but spoilt in preparation and worse than worthless. A DERANGED STOMACH Is the epi tome of evil; nothing too bad to ema nate from it, but the . gas it generates is probably its worst primary effect and the only way to do away with this is to remove the cause. STUART'S DYSPEP SIA TABLETS go to the root of this trouble. They attack the gas-making foods and render them harmless. Flatu lency or wind on the stomach simply can not exist where these powerful and wonder-working little tablets are in evidence.- THEY WERE MADE for this very pur pose to attack gas-making foods and con vert them into proper nutriment. This is their province and office. A whole book could be written about them and then not all told that might be told with profit to sufferers from this painful disease, dys pepsia. It wo Id mention the years of patient and expensive experiment in effort to arrive at this result of failures In numerable and at last success. It would make mention of the different stomach correctives that enter .nto this tablet and make it faithfully represent all. STUART S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS are not alone intended for the sick, but well Volks as well; for the person who craves hearty, foods and wants to eat heartily and run no risk of bad effects, they act like a charm and make eating and diges tion a delight and pleasure. . They keep the stomach active and energetic and able and willing to do extra work without spe cial labor or effort. Don't forget this. Weil people are often neglected, but the STUART DYSPEPSIA TABLETS have them in mind. A FREE TRIAL PACKAGE will be sent any one who wants to know Just what they are, how they' look and taste, before beginning treatment with them. After this go to the drug store for them; everywhere, here or at home, they are 50 cents a box and by getting them at home you will save time and postage. Your doc tor will prescribe them; they say there are '40,000 doctors using them, . but when you know what is the matter of yourself, why go to the expense of a prescription? For free trial package address F. A. Stuart Co., 150 Stuart . Building, Marshall. Michigan. P. S. Better send today for samples of the tablet. You will get quite a box of them. ' - -' a number of years, while under the di rect primary law this same Mr. Chap man has been enjoying private life. ;I presume Mr. Chapman feels that by belittling my candidacy and making a timely nomination o his own, his act will carry prestige of sufficient weight to put him back into his old position, or probably a position more lucrative. GRANT B. DIMICK. STRING TIED TO GIFT CITY ASKED TO TAKE TAX OFF ADJOINING LAND. New Condition Imposed on Dona tion for Park of Strip, of Ground Mile In' Length. A serious hitch has developed in regard to the proffered strip of ground, one mile long and 100 feet wide, to be donated to the city by the Terwilliger heirs, as a boulevard, running from Hamilton avenue to the Slavin road. J. P. Moffett, through whom the tender was made, now adds a proviso that the abutting property must forever be exempt from taxation, and Mayor Simon yesterday morning informed Park Superintendent Mische that, as head of the municipal government, he would not approve of such. Negotiations look ing toward adjustment will be carried on. and it is hoped will succeed. "I am not willing to grant exemption from taxation to the abutting property, even If we had the power so to do," said Mayor Simon yesterday morning.

"We can hardly stand that pro vision, in addition to the others that have been made as conditions in taking over the property.

I noticed a communication in The Oregonlan of December 3 -over tha signature of one E. C. Chapman, warm ly indorsing tha assembly plan of nomination of state and county officers and belittling me from every point of the compass. I desire to have it understood that I do not criticize any Republican or number of Republicans- for advocating any method of nomination of state and county officers that they so desire; but all that I have said and done regarding the strict observance of the direct pri mary nomination law Is my personal view upon that subject. If I am cor rectly informed. I have a perfect right to my personal views upon that or any other subject, and I seriously regret be ing criticized by a man like Chapman, who for years, under the old method of nominations, held a small position by appointment from the state authorities and waa on the payroll of the state for The Great Absorbent, Cleanser and Purifier Charcoal Is Unsurpassed in the Relief and Cure of Foul Breath and Excess of Stomach Gases. The late M. Belloc, the distinguished French physician and surgeon, and one of the discoverers of the remarkable power possessed by charcoal in ab sorbing gases .of all kinds, made the following experiment in his laboratory. An iron bottle, to which a long tube of the same material was attached, the physician filled with a combustible, which when heated would give off con siderable quantities of gas. A glass test tube was then connected to the free end of the Iron tube, and filled with about twelve ounces of medicinal charcoal. The Iron bottle was then placed on the fire, and gas soon poured through the tube to where the char coal was located, and was quickly ab sorbed by It. If the gas had continued to fill the tube without being absorbed, the tube would have been broken through the expansion of the gas. Charcoal ranks first as the greatest absorbent of all absorbing agents known to the medical profession. Me dicinal charcoal always contains oxy gen, because,, when taken from the crucible, it immediately obtains it from the atmosphere. It has a' different point of saturation for every gas, but when filled with- one or more, it is still capable of absorbing other gases. Willow-wood charcoal, which is the very best in existence, takes up more carbonic acid gas, and a larger quan tity of sulphuretted hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and marsh-gas, tban char coal made from any other wood. This is a very valuable property, and makes charcoal an exceedingly effective rem edy in dyspepsia and indigestion ac companied by the evolution of stomach and intestinal gases. STUART'S CHARCOAL LOZENGES po'ssess superior qualities of gas-absorption, as well as germicidal, anti septic, antifermentative, and anti-decomposition properties, which have ren dered them the most efficient and ef fective remedy on the market for the removal of troubles of this character. They may be taken in any quantity, as the use of charcoal in large doses pre sents no disadvantages whatever, and in this respect it differs from all other medicinal agents, the dosage of which must be regulated. Stuart's Medicinal Charcoal Lozen ges are - entirely harmless, and the more one takes in cases of stomach gases and intestinal flatus, the greater the amount of good will be accom plished. They purify the most offen sive breath, whether " from catarrh, teeth-decay, decomposition of food in the stomach, or from certain odorous foods which have been eaten, such as onions, etc., while at the same tiirfe they remove the odor of tobacco or alcohol from the breath when contami nated thereby. . Purchase a box from your nearest druggist,-price, 25 cents, and-send us your name and address for free sam pl3 package, which will prove to you' their great worth as gas absorbents. Address F.
