ALLEGES JIG PLOT
MEXICAN CLAIMS U. S. FOSTERS
REVOLUTION.
WILL SHOW UP CONSPM
Moheno Coming to This Country to
Reveal What He Says Is the
Crime of the Age.
Vera Cruz.—Querido Moheno, for
mer Mexican minister to commerce
and labor, before departing on board
the Espagne for Cuba and the United
States, virulently criticised the policy
of the United States toward Mexico.
As he sat in the forward saloon of
the French liner. Senor Maheno look
ed through a port hole toward the
American flag flying at Vera Cruz
and shook his fist in rage.
He insisted that he was in a posi
tion to produce proofs that there ex
isted a "secret platform" of Lie pro
gressive party in the United States of
which Colonel Roosevelt was cogni
zant and in which he concurred, look
ing to the disruption of Mexico and
the acquisition ultimately by the
United States of all the territory be
tween the Rio Grande and Panama.
He said that Francisco Escudero,
who was minister of foreign relations
in Venustiano Carranza's cabinet, has
letters which to him are conclusive
evidence of his allegations and de
clared he hoped' to be able to produce
these letters at the proper time.
“And not only were the leaders of
the progressive party' pledged to this
policy." he added, “but politicians of
both the republican and democratic
parties had promised their secret sup
port. That President Wilson himself
had subscribed to this iniquitous con
spiracy is evidenced by his attitude
toward Mexico. Not a single Amer
ican in all the hundred million popu
lation of the United States can give a
satisfactory answer as to why those
troops are there on shore in Vera
Cruz."
"To show up President Wilson s
crime against Mexico—the greatest in
the history of modern nations" is the
announced object of Senor Moheno's
trip to the United States.
Dr. Cole Loses Suit.
New York.—Commercialized use of
Christian Science teaching has been
held by the appellate division of tbe
supreme court to be illegal.
The conviction in a lower court of
Willis Vernon Cole, for practicing
medicine without a license when he
accepted fees for Christian Science
treatment, was sustained. The higher
court, in its opinion, answered in the
negative its premise.
Is the commercialized use of pray
er for the avowed purpose of treating
all persons seeking cure for all kinds
of bodily ills the practice of the re
ligious tenets of a church?
Coie, formerly a sculptor and a
poet, testified at his trial that his
practice brought him an annual in
come of $6,000; that he had never
studied medicine; that he never so
licited fees, but accepted those offer
ed him.
Bureau Issues Statement.
Washington.—In connection with
“The recent phenomenon of an ex
cess of imports over exports in April
and May,” the Department of Com
merce, in a statement on the com
merce of the world and international
balances of trade, announced that
the net export balance of the United
States probably would exceed $400,
000,000 for the current fiscal year.
This would be about $250,000,000 less
than last year’s balance.
The department pointed out that a
large proportion of the older and
more advanced nations show an ex
cess of imports over exports of mer
chandise. Canada shows a balance on
the import side but nearly all other
American countries show larger ex
ports.
Salem Receives Federal Aid.
Washington—Congress appropriated
$200,00 for the relief of sufferers from
the Salem, Mass., fire. The house, in
spite of vigorous opposition, led by
j Chairman Fitzgerald of the appropria
tion committee, accepted, by a vote
of 161 to 66, a senate amendment to
the sundry civil bil to provide the
money.
The president had urged the appro
i priation in a special message and the
I Massachusetts delegates had been
j pressing for action for a week.

PREPARE JR ROSE
RAILWAY COMMISSION PLANNING
TO MOVE CROP.
NO CAR SH0RTA6E THUS FAR
Movement of Grain Will be Controlled
Largely by Prevailing Prices,
It Is Thought.
Lincoln.—Preparations for oversee
'ing the handling of the immense crops
that Nebraska farmers have harvested
and are yet to harvest, are being
made by the state railway commis
sion. Car reports are being carefully
scrutinized as they come into the com
mission offices and experts are at
work making comparisons with other i
years and gathering information as to
the probable distribution that will
have to be made the present year.
No calls have come to the commis
sion thus far for car relief. But it
will not be long before complaints and
orders will be surfeiting commission
affairs. The body's activity in this
regard is to see that fair play prevails
In railroad attitudes toward shippers,
that cars are kept on the move and
that empty car distribution is kept up
with demand.
Prices of two or three weeks hence j
are looked to govern the movement !
almost entirely. If they hold up well j
there will likely be a decided rush for \
the elevators and grain will begin to
move in tremendous quantities. If
the price falls off there will be much j
grain held. That will almost certainly 1
mean a heavy movement in the fall :
and during the winter, and will come :
at a time when part of the heavy corn
crop will be in tie process of • move- i
ment, It will burden the railroads
down in that event more than for sev- i
eral years.
Warts Maneuvers at Ashland.
Lincoln. — Because Commander-In
Chief Morehead of the Nebraska Na
tional guard believes expenditure of
federal and state funds should go
toward improvement of the Ashland
rifle range in Nebraska rather than
Camp Dodge in Iowa, he has ordered
General Hall to use all energy at his
command to hold this year's maneuv
er camp in this state instead of in
Hawkeye territory. By so doing it is
believed that some $42,000 that would
pass needlessly out of Nebraska
would be conserved here.
The matter is still the subject of
discussion between General Hal! and
the federal war department. Nebras
kans in Washington, including Secre
tary of State Bryan and Senator
Hitchcock, will be asked to further
the effort- If the plan goes through
a company of regular army infantry- 1
men. along with a number of detach
ed regular army officers, will be sent
to Ashland to participate with the
guardsmen in the maneuvers.
Reports of federal inspection of all
companies of the Nebraska guard
were forwarded (General Hall from j
Washington. The work of the guard j
is complemented therein, the Omaha
companies coming in for particularly
favorable mention.
Work to Begin at Early Date.
Lincoln.—As a result of a confer
ence between Thomas J. Majors and
A. L. Caviness of the state normal
board and J. H. Craddock of Omaha,
architect, who will make plans for
the new building at the Peru state
normal school, work will be begun as
soon as possible. The building will
cost $83,000. A levy of S5 per cent of
a mill has been made for the state
normal schools by the legislature and
the board has apportioned the amount
and each institution will take Its turn
in having a building erected.
Loss Shown In Forty-nine Counties.
Lincoln.—The increase of over
$1,000,000 which was made by the j
first thirty-eight counties reporting to
the secretary of the State Board ol I
Assessment has been cut down by the
last eleven so that there is a loss for
the forty-nine counties of $849,761,
Douglas and Lancaster counties have
not yet reported and it is thought that
the increase in these counties will
help to bring the valuation of the
state up to somewhere near what it
was last year.
Complains of Charge.
J. W. Shorthill. secretary of the
Nebraska Farmers' Co-operative
Grain and Live Stock association of
Hampton, has filed a complaint with,
the state railway commission against
the South Omaha Stock Yards asso
ciation, claiming that the stock
yards company makes yarding charge
of 8 cents on hogs when but 6 cents
is charged by Kansas City and St.
Joseph.
Two Cents Per Mile Allowed.
Lincoln.—Because railroads of the
state in several instances of competi
tive rates between common points
have been allowed to increase to 2
cents flat per mile, dissatisfied citi
zens are said to be planning a legal
attack on the action of the railway
commission.
The present state of the 2-cent pas
senger fare law, however, indicates
that the step would be a hard one to i
accomplish. The law allows railroads !
to charge not pore than 2 cents per j
mile, hence they are entitled to that, j
Portray Indian Life at State Fair.
Lincoln.—Scenes from Indian life in
the pioneer days of Nebraska will be
reproduced at the Nebraska state fair
this fall.
The band of “first inhabitants" of
the state will come from the vicinity
of Chadron. Indian village life will
be portrayed. There will be four ex
citing Indian dances. These will be
the Omaha, tj»e ghost, the wolf and
the scalp dances. This will not be a
Wild West performance in an ysense
of the word, but a genuine Indian en
tertainment
VALLEY OF ESK BEAUTIFUL
England. Perhaps. Possesses No More
Gorgeously Picturesque Spot Than
This Stretch of Land.
London.—There is, perhaps, no more
beautiful spot In all England than the
valley of the Esk. which stretches
from the sea to beneath the heights
of grim Sc&fell. The Gatehouse estate
midway up this valley possesses beau
tiful gardens and a glorious view. Oa
an outlying spur of fell above the
grounds a Japanese garden has lately
been called into being as by a magi
cian's wand. The site is ideal: a cup
on the hill top. which was formerly a
peaty swamp dotted with great bould
ers and slopes and gray granite, has
been transformed into a quaint and
beautiful garden The bog. skilfully
drained and utilized, has formed a
chain of tiny lakes, spanned here and
Three Hundred-Year-Old Japanese
Tombstone.
there by humpbacked bridges. In the
8tiU waters of one pool a tea-house is
reflected: there is a pergola which will
presently be a dream of delight with
wistaria and climbing roses: beds of
irises and yater plants fringe the
pools, masses of azalea give a wealth
of very rich color, and a big magnolia
in full bloom testifies to the climate,
of the Dale. In pockets among the
great boulders grow many rare plants,
and cherry and flowering trees are
planted with a lavish hand. Bamboo
flourishes, and curious evergreen trees
and shrubs are everywhere.
Here and there are quaint old Japa
nese temple stones, brought from Ja
pan. They are ancient, and the weath
ered gray granite of which they are
made harmcnizes well with their new
home. The hollow of the fell top is
sheltered from the winds that sweep
over the mountains. It is a beautiful
spot. Behind rises the gloomy bulk of
the Screes, that line of inhospitable
mountain rising sheer from the black
depths of Lake Wast Water, the deep
est of the English lakes. To the north
lies Scafell. though it is Ju6t hidden
from the Japanese garden by other
lesser heights. To the west is the sea,
beyond a majestic mountain known as
Muncaster fell. On clear days the
Isle of Man is plainly visible, a fairy
iBle with a blue line of distant moun
tains on the far horizon. To the south
are more mountains. It is a wonder
ful achievement, this little oasis of the
mountains, for the soil for planting
had to be brought from below. Great
ingenuity has been shown in the work
ing out of its original conceptionf and
it is a valuable addition to already
beautiful gardens. It is also an <Jb
ject-lesson in an art which the Chelsea
flower show has shown us is flour
ishing very healthily.

medical missionary in Newfoundland
and Labrador, entertained a great au
dience at the Queen's hail with stories
of life in wild Labrador.
"Wives are so scarce in Labrador."
he said, "that the Moravian Mission
ary society has made it a rule that if
a woman's husband dies she must be
a widow for at least a fortnight.
"Just before Christmas I had lunch
with the late Lord Strathcona—or,
rather. I had lunch while he watched,
as he had not lunched for 50 years.
Lord Strathcona asked me how the
hospital he gave us was getting on,
and 1 had to tell him it was not doing
so well, as the boilers had blown out.
" ‘Get the best set of boilers you
can put in immediately, and send the
bill to me.’ he said."

Dr. J. J. Walsh Says in Address That
Condition Is Reversed Since
Shakespeare's Time.
Baltimore. Md.—“In the 350 years
since Shakespeare we have prog
ressed from dirty bodies and clean
minds to clean bodies and dirty minds,
a doubtful betterment." said Dr.
James J. Walsh of New York, former
dean of the medical department of
Pordham university, in an address to
the students of Loyola college. He
said modern educators have lost the
secret of education, which is discip

PUT MUCH FAITH IN GARLIC
Belief Among Physicians That It Is
Highly Efficient in Tubercu
losis.
Physicians on this side of the At
lantic are experimenting with garlic
as a possible cure for the dreaded tu
berculosis.
A Dublin doctor has been working
on the theory’ for some years past
with considerable success and has
published a book upon it, and although
it is too soon yet to tell of results in
this country, it is being tried at the
Metropolitan hospital in New York.
It is said that there is little tuber
culosis in Italy, where garlic chewing
is a national habit, and that in this
country it is the Italian children who
have given up chewing garlic who suc
cumb to the "great white plague."
Garlic contains a chemical substance
called allyl sulphide in the percent
age of two drops to a teaspoonful of
juice, which is much stronger than
the amount of the same chemical
found in onions or shallots. It is this
drug which, it is claimed, destroys the
tubercular bacilli.
Garlic juice is said to act quick
ly UDon tuberculosis of the throat,
which heretofore has been almost im
possible to treat, and application of
the juice to lupus (tuberculosis of the
skin) has excellent results unless the
disease is of long standing.
Probably Not.
