The committee ia divided among it

promise; that the Sultan be deposed
and a reasonable prince, for instance.
Yusif Inodin be named as hit suc
cessor; that the whole administration
be dcanesed; that no promise of Ab
dul Hammid be trusted and that to
establish the system of ten daya ago
would be to settle nothing.

o-o-retratinir $2,000,000 against the
Mew York Citv Railway Company, it

of judgements are unable to collect
their claims but lawyers believe that
a few thousands of cripples and
i.nfnrtmiates are brought together it
would bring the plight vividly before
the public, judges of Federal and

and Congress and perhaps result in
some form of relief. It is asserted
that Congress has full jurisdiction in
the matter.

NEW YORK. April 21 -Surgeons
at the Flower Hospital have Just ef

suffering with a malignant tumor, by
means of the injection of gelatin im
tir. inciter! with radium. Onlv one
r. D . ,
other similar case is on record, accord
ing to the hospital authorities and was
trateil in Eurooe recently bv means
of radium in a glass tube, which was
sewed up in the tumor. In the Flower
Hospital case, the tumor was ai
laree as a grape fruit and was first
reduced by use of the x-ray. Then
the radio activio gelatin was injected
and at the end of five weeks the
growth was so materially reduced
that the patient was allowed to go
home- It is expected he will recover
completely although the tumor was
in the abdomen and his death was ex
pected six months ago. '
No official report Has been made on
the case nor has the name of the
patient been made public. He is
resident of Westchester County and

dispatches concerning the lamentable
conditions in Nicaragua are confirmed
by Prof. J. J. Morgan Principal of the
Covina Union school, who has just
returned from that country. His
statements of the treatment accorded
American citizens there are startling-
"The time is approaching rapidly,
said he, "when the United States Gov
ernment must aet aside the Monroe
doctrine, or establish a patrol of sold
iers in Nicaragua. The outrages com
mitted asainst Americans are more
aggravated than the annoyances Suf
fered by subjects of 'other countries,
for the Nicaraguan government holds
the United States in contempt, in spite
of the fact that the protectorate makes
possible he maintenance of that gov
ernment. American citizens are suf
ferinir in the iail there on trumped
in rhnri.e without any means of
redress. Prof. Morgan says he was
constantly shadawed by detectives of
President Zelays and on one occasion
came near to death through being
mistaken for an American plantation
foreman who had become unpopular
with the government Hundreds of
Americans who have invested capital
there are harassed by the president
and business transactions are difficult
and hazardous.
RAILWAY SCRAP.
Great Northern And Milwaukee After
Same Lands In Far North.
KALISPELL. Mont., April 21.-
four deeds for right of way in the vi
cinity of Coram in the North Fork
River territory were filed yesterday
by an agent of the Chicago, Milwau
kee & Tuget Sound Railroad Comp
any. The instruments were the first
evidence of any transfer for right of
way purposes since the contest be
tween the two roads was begun. An
hour later an agreement for sale of
righUof-way to the Great Northern
of land in the same district was filed
in the Recorder's office. Last night
the Milwaukee road stole a inarch on
its competitor, the Great Northern
Railway taking the clerk of the court
on a fiting trip in order to secure the
papers in comendation proceedings to
secure richt of way through the im
portant property owned by a score of
land owners lying in the line ot tne
most important pass on the North
Fork of the Flathead River. The
company evidently decided not to
trust to the filing of deeds alone ana

the desired right-of-way through the

REFORMED CROOK SAYS
IE
TWO BOYS CHARGED WITH IT,
HOWEVER ARE RELEASED
AFTER THE TRIAL.
CHICAGO, April 21. A thief with
a. "New England conscience", has
placed the following advertisement in
a hicago newspaper: (Personal) "C
C Boys must not suffer for crime I
committed. Tell Judge Kersten I
confessed to you.
"Harry"
It was not necessary to carry out
the injunction of the advertisement
because the two defendants on trial
proved an albii, but if it had been
needed "Harry" was ready to furnish
an affidavit admitting his -guilt and
proving the innocense of the men un
justly accused "C. C. refers to Charles
Cattern, attorney.
"Harry" is a reformed crook, who,
with three companions broke into a
plumbing shop and stole the proprie
tor's overcoat.
The bovs" refers to Frank Jan-
schowski and John Pesch, who have
been acquitted after a two days' trial
before Judge Kersten.
The court recognized the weakness
of the prosecution and called the at
torneys before the bar.
"I don't believe the man on trial
committed this crime," he said, "and
if the jury was to convict them I
would have to set the verdict aside."
The jury thereupon returned a verdict
of acquital without leaving their seats.
EXPECT BIG CROP.
SPOKANE, Wash., April 21.-Wheat-growers
in the Palouse coun
try, south of Spokane, which with the
Big Bend district, taking in IS coun
ties in eastern Washington, yielded
4ft7?n mn bushels in 1907, are in a
happy mood, as the prospects for a
bumper crop have not been better
since the sorine of 190L Fall-sown
wheat came through in excellent con
dition and Spriag sowing is nearly
comnletcd. The season is fully two
weeks in advance of former years, and
ranchers look upon this as a good sign
for the spring crop. The ground re
ceived an abundance of winter rain
and the moisture has penerated to a
greater depth than at any time m tne
last five years. While the crop of
1908 was under 30.000,000 bushels,
most of the farmers received more for
their grain than in the banner year of
the country, because of hiah prices.
Others who held their grain during
the winter are now reaping toe benefit
of the unusually hi eh price. There is
little wheat in the district this spring
and with the combination ot the pro
ducers in Idaho, Oregon and Wash
ington this means that buyers will
have to increase their bids to bring
out any grain. Elevator men and mill
buyers predict that all kinds of good
wheat will bring top prices next fall.
