VOTE TAKEN WITHOUT USUAL DEBATE
Tre -Which Includes All the Pro
visions of the Piatt Amendment
Finishes Work of the
Cuban Leglslatare.
HAVANA, Jan. 11. The aenate, after
clearing legislative buslnesa and being in
. readings to adjourn until the spring, raised
the ratification of the so-called permanent
treaty with the United State. There was
no delate, mid the vote was taken by a
show of hands. Senor Relo, nationalist,
denmiiui d to be recorded In the negative.
while oiiiers requested to be recorded af
firmatively. The livHly Includes all the provisions of
. tke Plait amendment verbatim. This was
. the proposition of the Cuban government,
made bec nuse of Jhai-dcslre to. .eyojituaily
eliminate the amendment from 'the consti
tution n nd remove tho constant crltlcUpfl
Of the mukers of the vuliMtitutlon for
ceptliib' inch Mn nmendment from tfis
United States'. The standpoint Is regarded
as immaterial whether . the requirements
and rertrlcllons of' the Piatt amendment
ba continued In the form of a constitution
or a treaty.
The trei.ty wan signed May 22, 19.13, but
wai not rntifled with the other treatUs
between the United States and Cuba at
the close of the Inst session of congrera.
The committee on foreign relations held up
the treaty until today end then reported It
by order of the senate. The report of the
commit tea recommended the adoption of
the treaty, stating that it would not change
the political attain of the relations between
Cuba and the United States in any man
ner. Tha time for ratifying the treaty
would have expired January 22.
. Tha house, after a long discussion of tha
tariff matter, after which many amend
ments to tha senate bill were offered, took
a reoese until tomorrow'. The prevailing
opinion among the representatives remain
lug la Havana appears to be that congress
ought not to go further than giving Presi
dent Palm authorisation to temporarily
Increase all the duties by 26 per cent. The
advocates of the lottery bill have not risked
the attempt to pass the bill over the veto
of President Palmey on account of the small
attendance. .

UNCONSCIOUS IN HIS CARRIAGE
Former Governor Bnahnell Starts for
Bis Train, bat Trip Has to
Be Abandoned.
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 11. Just as he ar
rived at the Union station, shortly after
4 o'clock this, afternoon, to take a train for
Springfield, former Governor Asa, S. Bush
nell was stricken with apoplexy, and is
now in a serious condition. The attending
physicians consider his condition most criti
cal and hold out very little hope of re
covery. Governor Bushnell had been here
during the day and was about to take a
train for his home in Springfield. His car
rlage had arrived at the station and the
driver, upon opening the door found him
In an almost unconscious condition. He
was taken to a hospital.
At 8 o'clock tonight Governor Bushnell
was reported slightly improved, but hi
condition is extremely critical. He had

Pennsylvania Prosecutor Adopts Xovel

Behtel Case.
ALLKNTOWN. Pa., Jan. U.-Dlstrlct At-
torney Llchtcn Warner has decided to
abandon the Indictment of murder against
Mrs. Catharine Bechtel. mother of Mattel
Bechtel, who waa killed last October. The
aged woman will be tried with her chil
dren, Myrtha, John and Charles, on the
charge of being accessory after the fact.
Alois Eckstein, Mabel Bechtel's accepted
suitor, will be brought to trial last, and
David Welsehberg, who also was attentive
to the young woman, will be the first to
face the jury.
"Welsenberg,' said the district attorney
today, "will be tried first and acquitted, so
that he may qualify aa a competent wit
ness. The Importance of this movement is
obvious. It may seem unjust to have a
man Indicted on a serious charge, tried
and acquitted, simply to wring from him
what he knows of a certain case. But I
waa forced to It by the condition of cir
cumstances, and I hope that the result
will Justify the means.'"
The trial will begin tomorrow.

T0LD EFFORTS IN PANAMA ARE FUTILE
Threatens to PnblUh the Correspond
rare Between Himself and Sec
retary Hay Vnleas Presi
dent Does.
WASHINGTON, Jan. ll.-Oeneral Reyes,
the Colombian special minister here, had
an hour's conference with the secretary of
state at the latter s home today respecting
the Panama situation. Secretary Hay
has not come to any conclusion about
sending the correspondence to congress, as
requested by General Reyes. He endeav
ored to show General Reyes the futility of
Colombia's efforts to regain Panama, but
rrgnrd3 the matter as still open to further
efforts toward a peaceful adjustment.
Secretary Hay, after having been confined
to his home for several weeks, appeared at
the White House today and had a long con
ference with the president regarding' the
Colombian situation. The interview the
secretary had with General Reyee formed
undoubtedly the basis of the interview be
tween the president and the secretary.
General Reyes will leave for New York at
12:80 tonight. He will shII from New York
next Saturday direct for Colombia on the
Steamer Allegheney.
General Reyes has paid his official fare
well to Secretary Hay and to the president
through the secretary.
Dr. Herron, the Colombian charge, says
thnt he has. as yet, completed no plans for
leaving Washington.
Reyes Makes Threat.
The Associated Press has been Informed
that General Ruefel Reyes In ids last note
to tho State department threatened to pub
llsh the correspondence between himself
and the State department if the president
did not see fit to send it to the senate or
make It public.
General Rafael Reyes left at midnight
for New York, preparatory for his depar
ture for Colombia in a few days. Preced
Ing him went General Osplna, who came
here as General Reyes' legal adviser, and
who left for New York on an earlier train
General Osplna does not expect to return
Immediately to Colombia. The departure
of General Reyes does not constitute the
breaking of diplomatic relations with tho
United States, but merely the suspension
of the negotiations which have been golna;
on with the State department, having in
view the reintegration of Panama as a part
of the United States of Colombia. Whether
they will be resumed hereafter is not
known.
Dr. Herran, Colombian charge, remains
in Washington to attend to legation bust
ness other than Panama matters. It is not
likely that he will leave the city for two
months, If then. His future movements are
quite undetermined. Advices which have
reached here from Colombia show thnt
there is considerable excitement there over
the attitude the United States has taken In
the Panama matter.
TO INVESTIGATE CONSULATES
President Orders the State Depart
meat to Look Into Three
In China.
WASHINGTON, Jan. U.-The president
has ordered the State department to make
a thorough lnvestigatioA of United States
consulates at Shanghai, Canton ant Amoy.
For a year charges have been flying back
ward and forward "affecting the conduot of
the business at those consulates and -the
tuaV recriminations and charges that have
made it evident to the State department
officials that there, is need for a thorough
Investigation, which will form the bnfls for
a complete .change ot consulates in the
Orient.
The SVStem of evtivi-terrttnrlnl 1urlallc
t,on conferred upon the consuls in the ad
ministration of the consular courts is be-
lleved to have become antiquated and It
will probably be necessary to frame some
scheme In Its place that will reduce the al
most autocratic powers of the consuls and
bring them Into closer responsibility to the
State department. The charges referred to
are not new,' but as described in preceding
dispatches, relate to charges for mnnlfests,
for certification of commercial papers and
the issue of identification papers to Chinese
who have been going Into the Philippines.
Oovernor Taft long ago complained to
Washington of the practices of loose meth
ods of regulating the admission of Chinese
to the Philippines and of the opportunities
for fraud Involved.

VICTIM N. P, DODGE OF COUNCIL BLUFFS
After Serarlna the Cash Swindlers
Go East on' Hock tatnnd and
All Trace of Them Has
Been Lost.
Nathan P. Dodge, vice president of the
Council Bluffs Saving hank and a leading
real tstate and loan broker of that city.
discovered yesterday morning he had been
swindled out of $4,5oo by two strangers on
a bogus farm mortgage. The swindle per
petrated on Mr. Dodge Is similar to that
worked on Lougee & Lougee of that city a
few years sgo by a man alleged to be Wil
liam Senter, who Is now serving a peniten
tiary sentence in Minnesota for obtaining
monejr on fraudulent land deals through
forged papers.
Wllllnm Carse, a Wealthy farmer living
near Oakland, Pottawattamie county, had
advertised his farm of IfiO acres for sale.
L.a8i Wednesday two strangers, one an
elderly man, giving the name of John J
Foy, and the other considerably younger.
giving the name of 'Snyder, called on Carse
and I-oy stated he was anxious to buy a
farm for his son-in-law and decided that
the Carse farm was about what ho wanted.
Carse asked $15,200 for the farm and the
price was acceptable to Foy, who said he
was prepared to pay the greater part of the
purchase price In cash.
Accompanied by Carse the two strangers
came to Council Bluffs and called upon It
O. McGee, a real estate and loan broker.
with a proposition to borrow $4,600 on the
farm. McGee Introduced them to Mr.
Dodge, who loans money for eastern par
ties on farm mortgages. Mr. Dodge was
willing to loan the money, provided the
farm was sufficient security. Carse assured
him it was, but Mr. Dodge sent Mr. McGee
to investigate. McGee went to Oakland
and looked over the land and reported to
Mr. Dodge that the farm was ample se
curity for a loan of $1,600.
All Slajnatnres Forged
.Saturday morning Foy and his alleged
son-in-law, Snyder, appeared at Mr. Dodge's
office and presented a complete abstract,
showing that Carse had executed a deed
to them of the farm and stated that the
deed had been placed on record In the
office of County Recorder Smith tdat morn
ing. All of the documents bore the sup
posed signature of Carse and his wife and
that of Elmer Fehr, a notary public of
Oakland, together with the Imprint of his
official seal.
The documents were apparently all right
and so were the papers filed with the
county recorder. Mr. Dodge .drew up the
mortgage, which was duly signed by Foy
and then Mr. Dodge made out a check for
$4,500.
It has since been learned that Foy went
to the bank and immediately cashed the
check, insisting on receiving gold for the
entire amount.
Saturday noon Mr. Fehr, the notary pub
lic of Oakland, met Foy and Snyder going
east on a Rock Island train.. This is the
last seen of them. Yesterday Carse noticed
in the papers among the real estate trans
fers that of his farm. ' He telephoned to
Recorder Smith that while he had been
negotiating for the sale of his farm he
had made no sale as yet. Investigation nt
once disclosed the fact that not only were
the signatures of Carse and his wife forg
eries, but that of Notary Public Fehr and
his seal were also forged,

mised and that the danger of Internal dla
orders In China, as well as needless com
plications of China's finances, would be
averted.
The note delivered by Foreign Minister
Kcmura on Saturday to Baron de Rosen,
the Russian minister, was merely prelimi
nary to Japan's formal response, which hus
not yet been delivered.
The questions at issue were discussed at
today' conference of tho cabinet nnd elder
statesmen and a final decision is expected
tomorrow. When this has been reached the
conferees will appear before the throne
and submit the answer' agreed upon. After
this has been done the final proposals ot
Japan will be handed to Baron de Rosen.
Japanese Ar Alarmed.
LONDON. Jan. ll.-The Japanese gov
ernment is alarmed at the report that tho
Russian Black sea fleet IntenBa to "pass
through the Dardanelles. At the request of
the Toklo authorities Baron Hayasht, the
Japanese minister to Oreat Britain, has
made inquiries on the subject here, but the
British Foreign office has not heard that
Russia haa asked Turkey's permission and
is not inclined to think Russia will raise
such a question in Europe -at the present
time, not only in view of the far eastern
crisis, but because of the unsettled state
of the Balkans.

englng tha hands of Russia in Its claims to
''"' an amount of Influence In Mnn-
rnuriH. ii is pmntert out mat Kussm,
having conceded Japan's paramount Influ
ence In Corea, Japan apinrs to be unwill
ing lo make a reciprocal concession by reo-
egnlxlng Russia's paramount Influence In
Manchuria. There Is reason to believe that
the late Russian note makes clear Russia's
attitude and Intentions, concerning Man
churia and how far it is disposed to rec
ognise Japanese ambitions in Manchuria.
The general purport of- the Russian posi
tion is that Japanese merchants and Indi
viduals shall have the right of free access
to Manchuria for purposes of travel and
commerce, but that Russia does not wish
this to be extended to the colonisation of
Japanese in large communities in Man- .
churia.
Strong sympathy is expressed here in
behalf of the Russian view, as it Is said
the general admission of Japanese colonisa
tion In Manchuria would create questions of
political and racial domination. It is as
serted to be the Interest of the commerce
of Europe and America that Russia should
replace China's authority within Man
churia. It Is also pointed out that Jnpan
recently restricted tha operations ot Ameri
can Insurance companies and this Is cited
as evidence that Russian control of Man
churia is likely 'to prove as liberal to
American and European commerce as Ja
pan's. Therefore It Is maintained In gov
ernmental quarters that Is Is to the general
Intent of Europe nnd America to give
moral support to a settlement of the pend
ing conflict on the basis of Japan's au
thority in Manchuria. Those who are In the
best position to know Russia's Intention
say Its determination to exercise its sphere
of influence in- Manchuria is irrevocable.
On account of Russia's latest attitude in
Manchuria it is the view ot official circles
here that the main Issue of the negotia
tions now centers In Munchurla Instead of
Corea.
t'orea Stands by Agreement.
SEOUL, Jan. ll.-The Japanese minister
has made reiterated demands, hitherto
without result, on the emperor of Corea
that he recognise a Japanese protectorate
of Corea, the Corean government holding
Itself to the Russo-Japanese agreement
concerning Corea.

Woman's Beauty
Mme. Yale, known ns the Queen of
Beauty. Is celebrated all over th civilized
world for the great service she has render
ed unto science In enhancing and preserv
ing woman's beauty. Her health maxims
are quoted and practiced by tho leadlnc;
physicians everywhere.
GAeYdAe System
Mme. Tale has Introduced a system of
"Physical Culture" and "Scientific Hy
giene" unequalled. Many of our best
schools and colleges have adopted Mme.
Yale's system for educational purposes.
All wh are interested in their mental and
physical advancement should attend Mme.
Yale's hl.th class, up-to-date entertainment
at Hoyd's Opera House, Tuesday, January
19th, at 2.20 In the afternoon.
Proof Positive
Mme. Yalu's personal appearance Is proof
por.ltiyo beyond questioning that her var
ious dls- overtes have marvelous beautify
ing qualities.
Natural Beauity
Mme. Yale teaches the science of creat
ing natural beauty. Jler wonderful rem
edies cleanse, purify, strengthen and beau
tify. The Yale System Is a new reform
that does away with artlflcal beauty.
NEWSPAPEK COMMENT:
(FROM NEW YORK WORLD.)
Mme. Yale's peerless beauty Is not con
fined to one feature or group of features,
but extends to her every fuuture. Nuture
waa lavish with her when she bestowed
the gifts of beauty upon her, fur along
with It she endowed her with a mind and
a soul, that, combined with her native
beauty, generated a passion to preserve
thul beauty, and then, when the secret of
lasting beauty was found, an ambition and
a desire to Impart what she had learned
to her sister pilgrims through tho world.
(FROM CHICAGO TRIBUNE.)
Long may Mme. Yale's work continue
and her teachings bear fruit. Long may
this beautiful gueen wield her magic power
over ugliness and delight us with her
charming presence.
(FROM THE BOSTON HEItALD.)
To describe Mme. Yalo Is an attempt to
describe tho Indescribable. One cannot put
Into language the beauty of the flower nor
fjHlnt the grandeur of the soul. Human
ovllness lies not alone In physical per
fection; It is that indefinable something
which results when the sum of all the
virtues ih combined with grace and sym
metry. Benutv Is charm of contour itnd
amiability of expression. The type of a per
fect woman is one In whom there Is a
perfect development of the body and the
mind. Beauty Is truth in Ita fullest ex
nroxinn Mme. Yale renresents truth. Jfrs
la the development of Nature. There
fiuthlng of sham, nothing of artificiality. -
(FROM THE 6T. LOIl8 GLOBE-DEMO-CKAT.)
Yesterday a crowd of ladles were seated
In the auditorium of the Olympic Theater

tiful woman of tills day posing as "Helen"
bi-sldo tha ruins of Troy a perfect figure
with the soft outlines of childhood, garbed
In a Grecian tunic of white gauze threaded
with silver, a zone of Jewels set In gold
girdling the waist, and a tlura of precious
stones blazing In the soft masses of gulden
hair. Many were the exclamations of ad
miration and delight from the assembled
lair. .
