No Prmnr on Enror.
An Impression U likely to be created by
some recent reports of the president's ac
tivity In the peace proceedings that he Is
exerting the powerful Influence he possesses
to force the envoys Into some sort of agree
ment. No such Impression Is warranted
by th efforts ha tins made. From the ln
clplency of the negotiations, the president
has been actuated by motives of the mutl
sincere friendship for both belligerents, and
by a desire to do all that In him lies to
terminate a conflict so sanguinary that It
has shocked the entire clvlllxed world.
Moeed by the prof6tind desire to restore
peace, the president has lent his good ofllces
to the representatives of both of the war
ring powers, but he has refrained from any
effort which might be regarded as offensive
either by Russia or Japan. He has main
tained his position as an Intermediary, mak
ing suggestions when suggestions were re
Quested, and giving counsel when It was
miusht.
Impressed by the belief that an agreement
can bo reached by the envoys after full
discussion and thorough consideration of
nil phases of the question at lssu?, President
Roosevelt finally. haa appealed for peace
to the Bt. Petersburg and Toklo govern
ments, communicating his appeals simul
taneously to the envoys themselves. Buch
suggestions as he has offered and auch
propositions as he has made were, for the
consideration of the -plenipotentiaries and
were presented with a view to facilitating
their labors. It is known that both the
Russian and Japanese governments appre
ciate the disinterested' friendship of the
president and that both "have expressed that
appreciation of his efforts to insure a last
ing and honorable peace.
Japan Will 1 unlit on Payment.
According to competent . Japanese au
thority, Baron KomuiAt and Mr. Takahlra
are opposed to the waiving of Japan's de
mand for reimbursement, of war expenses.
This authority said:
In tha conference the Japanese contention
"when it conceded the ante-bellum de
mands of Japan, Russia admitted either
that it was beaten or that its attitude
prior ' to the war was unjustified and In
either case Japan holds that Russia should
pay the cost of the ar.F Jaiwn feels that
Russia's talk of "saving its face" Is hardly
reasonable, claiming that Its face was lost
-wnen it conceded tli "ante-bellum de
mands", which constituted the real casus
belli.
Advice rarweirtrriese' mission
from home say the Japanese public Is not
only ' bitterly opposed to further conces
sion, but favors even harsher terms than
those originally presented.
"Better fight it now while we have a'n
army In the field," they say, "than to make
a. trues for ten years or more and then
reopen hostilities."

declaration from the official spokesman of

with tha force of a formal communique,
that under no circumstances and no dis
guises would tha principle of Indemnity be

the Russian public as final. It was declared
at the foreign office also that Russia's sin
cere desire for peace was manifested In the
spirit of concession shown by the Russian

that if Japan was willing to waive this de

BAD BLOOD
Invites disease
The blood supplies nourishment and
strength to every part of the body when

assailing it to break down the health.

HILL .OS LAND LAWS
(Continued from First Page.)
Introduction of an amendment to a resolu
tion endorsing the present reclamation
law, especially . those provisions which
afford an opportunity for home making.
This amendment advocated a repeal of that
portion of the national Irrigation law which
compels the disposal of any acreage in ex
cess of 160 acres In the possession of one
land holder. The motion Was bitterly at
tacked by the supporters of the small land
holders and after a spirited debate the
amendment was defeated and the report
was adopted as presented.
In substance the resolutions adopted by
the congress follow!
Endorsement of statehood for the terri
tory of New Mexico and Joint statehood
for Oklahoma and Indian Territory; the
congress believes that too much capital,
publio and private, cannot be invested In
the reclamation of arid lands.
Another resolution of much the same pur
port declares that government as well as
private enterprise should both be extended
to the utmost and believes that govern
ment enterprise should not unneressarlly
interfere with private enterpr'se, nor
should private enterprise unnecessarily in
terfere or prevent government enterprise
,from building reservoirs and other works
lor reclaiming arid land".
In order to encourage Deer sugar produc
tion In the t'nlted States the congress as
serts Its opposition to the granting of fur
ther concessions to tropical Islands. The
resolutions advocate federal legislation In
behalf of the Industry.
It Is the opinion of the congress that, the
national Irrigation law should be so ex
tended ss to Include the state of Texas
within Its provisions. The congress de
clares that there Is not nor has there been
any connection whatever between the Na
tional Irrigation congres.- and the National
Irrigation association. It announces that
no person or company Is authorized to
collect money on behalf of the congress.
The congress also favors the early recla
mation of Small tracts of land whenever
the cost per acre of reclamation does not
exceed the cost per acre of larger enter
prises of similar character. The federal
congress is iwged to enact such laws as
will enable the national government to ex
ercise the right of eminent domain when
necessary to carry out the purposes of the
national Irrigation law. The congres en
dorses the effective and business-like ad
ministration of .the forestry bureau, the
efficiency of the work of the reclamation
service, but recommends that the reclama
tion service and Its representa Uvea co-operate
with state officials In matters affecting
the state's landed Interests. The resolu
tions commend the work of the experiment
stations of the Department of Agriculture
and the Vnlted States weather bureau for
its assistance to the reclamation service.
The congress expresses a high apprecia
tion of the present national Irrigation law,
contending especially its beneficlent pro
visions for home making, and urges the
speedy completion Of the present govern
ment projects now under construction.
Constitution Amended.
In order to remedy the unsatisfactory
provision of the constitution of the congress
which compels It to conduct Us deliberations
In sectional meetings, the constitution was
amended so as to provide for a general
session each day during the convention
of the congress, but the congresa may, if
It deems best, also conduct sectional meet
ings. '
The chairman of the nominating commit
tee, to which was referred the matter of
the selection of a nominee for a secretary,
announced that his committee had finally
unanimously agreed . on Mr. Maxon. A
spasmodic attempt to defeat Mr. Maxon

ULTIMATUM TO MOROCCO
Francs Iosiiti Upon Immediate Esletsa of

REFUSAL MEANS MILITARY INVASION
Entire French Legation Instructed
to Leave at Onee If Demand
le Not Compiled
With.
PARIS. Aug. 24 As the result of a spe
cial meeting of the council of ministers
today It was announced that a military
demonstration will be made against
Morocco unless the sultan promptly yields
to the French demands for the release of
the French-Algerian cltlsen. a merchant
named Bouilan, who was unjustifiably ar
rested at Gharb, a Moroccan town on the
Algerian frontier.
Instructions were sent to the French
minister at Fes, St. Rene Talllandler, to
make a final and Imperative demand on the
sultan. The minister was Informed that If
this demand should be refused the entire
personnel of the legation was to depart
from Morocco and a military movement
would simultaneously begin along the Al
gerian frontier.
Will Occupy Ilorder Town.
It Is the intention of the military authori
ties to occupy a Moroccan border town,
probably Oudjdn, owing to Its strategic
command of the route to the Moroccan
capital. However, the officials are confi
dent that the sultan will yield before the
threafof using mllltnry force.
The demonstration as plnnned Is some
what similar to that which nn Amerlcnn
squadron made at Tangier to compel the
release of Ion Pcrdlcarls. who was captured
by the bandit Ralsull. The French authori
ties deemed a naval demonstration Inex
pedient owing to possible International com
plications resulting from other countries
sending warships to observe the demonstra
tion, while a military movement against
Morocco would be largely a police measure,
not Involving the general political question
of French authority In Morocco. The per
sistent refusal of the sultan to yield, how
ever, might compel the French to advance
farther than a border town. Germany has
approved the French demands for redress,
but fears are expressed In some quarters
that the sultan will refuse to yield In the
hope of secuHng the aid of Germany.
Powers Approve Action.
Practically all the leading powers have
approved the determination of the French
government to adopt a firm course. The
proposed course cannot be put Into execu
tion before another week, owing to the
time necessary to communicate the final de
mands to the sultan.
A military demonstration against Mo
rocco was considered by the ministers to
be preferable to a naval demonstration.
The latter might Involve International
complications, as other powers, notably
Germany, would probably send ships for
the purpose of observing the 'French dem
onstrations. However. France Is the only
power capable of executing a military dem
onstration without transporting troops, ns
there Is a large force of French and native
Algerian troops now stationed In Algeria
close to the Moroccan border. The French
hyidquarters Is at Lalla Marnla, sixteen
miles from the Moroccan town of Oudjda,
the occupation of which would place the
French within 200 miles of the Moroccan
capital of Fes.

FORTY PIESEVERY MINUTE
Machine-Made Wonders Said to Be
ae Mce aad Sweet "mm Mother
I serf to Hake."
Nlre, sweet. Juicy pies, tha kind that
mother used to make, are to be turned out
by a Pittsburg man at the rale of forty
every minute, or 24.000 every ten hours.
The man who Is to accomplish this won
derful thing is E. L. Sons, a baker, who
hss Just Invented a machine which will
work these wonders, and at the same
time do away with pie pans and the regu
lation oven. One machine with such a
capacity can be handled by three men, who
will take the places of 100 bakers.
The machine will work on much th same
principle as a waffle Iron and It was from
that Instrument that Mr. Sons got his Idea.
The machine contains a great endless chain
like a waffle Iron, except that the "cups"
ore In the shape of a round pie. A man
will stand at one end of the machine and
fill the "cups" with dough.
They will pass through a furnace which
will partly bake them before reaching the
man who will Supply the filling. Then a
third will put the "lids" on and the pies
will pass through another furnace and
come out ready for the table. Mr. Sons
has completed one of the machines and says
that it works perfectly. The variety of
pies baked at one time la without limit.

STATE FAILS TO MAKE A CASE
Such la Derision ef Judge Foster
Argument Over Admissibility
Evidence as to Blood
hound Case. tff
On the motion of Attorney Jefferls, for
the defense, In the case of arson filed in
Justice Foster's court against Qeorg
Haecke by Andrew Wellman, manager Of
the Cremona 8tock farm, Haecke was dis
charged yesterday ' afternoon, after a
lengthy trial. The defense took the posi
tion that tha state had not made a case
against the defendant, which contention
was supported by the Judge. After tha
evidence was all offered and the state had,
made its arguments. Attorney Jefferls wa
content to submit his case without argu
ment. The strongest link In a chain of circum
stantial evidence offered by the state
against Haecke was that on Sunday, th
13th Instant, the day after the burning of
a straw stack on the Wellman place, a
bloodhound, owned by Dr. i Fulton, of
Beatrice, took up a scent on the only .
footprints leading from the burned stack'
through a cornfield and followed the scaut
to the home of Haecke. The evidence was
strengthened by the testimony of Wellmatir.
who said on the stand that Haecke had
threatened him last winter and that on h
day of the fire Wellman saw Haecke drlv,
Ing toward the Cremona farm.
Sullivan's Decision Brought In.
Much of the time yesterday afternoon
was taken up by arguing whether the evi
dence as to the conduct of the dog could be
admitted, the defense citing the decision
of Judge Sullivan of the supreme court of
Nebraska. Part of Judge Sullivan's de
cision reads, "The conduct and behavior of
bloodhounds after being set upon the tfalt
of a fugitive criminal may not be given In
evidence by the state for the purpose of
proving that the scent of the accused and
the scent of the person who perpetrated
the the crime, which Is being Investigated,
ar identical."
In submitting the case the state claimed
that the Hrott casn (to which Judge Sulli
van's decision refers) Is not applicable to
the Haecke case In that In the later casa
the object of the state In offering the testi
mony relative to th conduct of the dog
was to show that the scent of the person
who fired the straw stack waa the same aa
the person who went to the Haecke house,
making this evidence merely corroborative
of the other circumstantial . evidence
offered against Haecke. '
Deputy County Attorney Fitch moved
that the defendant be bound to the district
court, but Justice Foster declared tha
state had not made a case and referred to
the Judge Sullivan decision relative to the
conduct of the bloodhound.

Raymond Nelson, the 20-year-old son of
Thomas R. Nelson, was Thursday morning .
bound over from the police to the district
court on one of two chartes of grand lar
ceny, on which he waa tried before Aottng
Police Judge Foster. .
The first charge against Nelson waa
sworn to by Tpm Strlbllng,. proprietor, of,. a .
cigar store at 314 South Twentieth afreet,
which place It was alleged the youth en
tered and stole therefrom $28 and a watch. .
It was the contention of Judge Foster that ,
the state failed to make a case of grand
larceny against the prisoner In that Com-,
plaint, which was dismissed.
The second charge, on which Nelson waa
bound over in the sum of 1500. was that of
Mrs. A. Rlseman, who has a grocery at
1136 North Eighteenth street. The woman
testified Nelson was in her store to use the.
telephone and that 175 disappeared from her
till while Nelson was In the store. . Nelson
denied having been In the store.
Raymond Nelson is the only child of his
parents, both of whom are members of
the People's church. Rev. Charles W.
Savidge, pastor of that church, was an in
terested spectator during the trial of Nel
son, as waa-also the boy's father. It la
stated Mr. and Mrs. Nelson are heart
broken over th charges filed against their
son.
COY SAYS LAND IS HIS OWN n
Iter's Secretary Asserts Ho Bought
Tract for No One Else, as
Rumored.
L. E. Coy, who paid 113,000 Wednesday for
the Dumont tract of forty acres to th cast
or Rlvervlew park, says he will bold the
land for purposes of speculation. Ha says
It is good trackag property and capitalists
may be Induced to locate factories there.
It Is thought by business men tbat Mr.
Coy bought the land for some one else.
Some suggest It Is for the Interurban Land
company, of which he Is secretary. Others
think tha Burlington has gained possession
of the tract through Mr. Coy In order to
keep the city from buying the land for
park purposes. In which Instance the road
would have to build viaducts, aa It Ilea
between Rlvervlew and the other tract. Mr.
Coy refutes both these theories, but aays
he has no definite use for the- lajid at pres
