WISH TO AVOID INTERVENTION lalted State, and Mexico Will Wel come , Any Aetlon that Will . Promote Peace and Tranquillity. . WASHINGTON, March . Suggestions of ' S conference of Central American president with th. Idea of removing all possible cause for Intervention by the Vnlted Stales and Mexico, contained In dispatches from the city of Mexico, was tha subject of gos sip at the State department toduy. It Is known that the suggestion came from one of the Central American republics and that It' would meet with the approval of both the I'nited Btatea and Mexico. It Is realised by persons who are inter ested In the preservation of peace In Centra America that much good might result from a meeting of the presidents if It were en tered Into with a spirit and determination I to secure practical results. Information received here mukes it plain that while no actual hostilities have broken out In Central America, there continues a fear of outbreak among the countries there, which tho 1'nlted States and Mexico are agreed should be removed. Both countries are evidently maneuvering to prevent. If possible, any warlike manifestations. At the same time they are ready to act promptly in the situation if necessity de mand. Ambassador de la Harra of Mexico bad a long talk today with AstdKtant Secretary Wilson of the State department touching the situation In Central America. The Mexican gunboat Qeneral Guerrero, now at Ballna Crux, is preparing to go to Central American ports. It Is probable If a conference of presi dents is held it will take place on one of the American war vessels. Yesterday the gunboat Yorktown arrived at Corlnto and tha Maryland at Amapula. 77 99 Humphrey's Seventy seven breaks up Colds and mm P "That medical Teutonic tyrant, the pfetffer bacillus la invading many an American's homo at preaont.

Premier Omenceau nd hla colleagues faced the strike Inter pellations In the chamber of depntlee to- ajr with a determination to secure en dorsement of the government's position In the premises or retire from office. They won for the chamber rejected a reso lution providing for a commission to In- estlgwte the caucus of the strike, by a vote of 364 to 188. From the very outset It was apparent that the chamber was with tha govern ment. The socialists centered their es aaults upon M. Slmyan, under secretary of posts and telegraphs, but they also re proached Premier Cletnenceau with having shifted his position since he had "reached the other side of the barricade." They wanted an Investigation of the strike situation and they pleaded against re pressive measures. The conservatives declared that the gov ernment waa reaping only what it had sown. They pointed out that the successive radl- caj government for years had encouraged the state employes to form associations and that M. Vlvlanl, minister of labor and M. Slmyan had voted under the deputy ministry to recognise tha right of the post men to strike. M. Slmyan'a defense consisted of a gen eral denial of the charges of favoritism, which he declared had been brought by the employes, because he had refused to ac cept their recommendations. He said that In his opinion, the leaders for months had been preparing to strike. Tumult followed when the under secretary's declaration that the principal leauers of the strike had been endorsed by from ten to fifteen mem bers of the chamber ef deputies. Name them," shouted the members of the right. In high glee. Subra president of the General Associ ation of Postal TeJegraph employes has nine endorsements." Name them." repeated the right; but when M. Slmyan turned in that direction and shouted that the endorsers came from the right as well a from the left there was no further insistence that names be mentioned. Dignified Speech of Barthon. After an hour of oratory, Minister of Publlo Works Barthou mounted the tribune and In a dignified speech painted the gravity of tho situation and the impossl blllty of the government yielding to the employes who had revolted. The minister said the government was always willing to discuss th. grievances of the employes' associations, but to treat with them upon footing of equality would be the com mencement of administrative anarchy. Nevertheless he Indicated that it waa the government's desire to leave the door open for the employes to return to duty. Salvos of applause greeted M. Barthou's speech. Then followed what practically was a test vote, and the chamber by a majority of 806, ordered the speech of the minister of public works placarded through' out France. A recess then was taken. The government, with the aid of mill tary telegraphers and soldiers acting as letter carrriers, has been successful In securing a semblance of resumption In all branches of the service. Squads of sol diers have been detailed to act as railroad mall clerks, and In all about 0 of the military are at wtrk. In the provinces the strike is constantly securing new adherents and In many larger centers It la complete. The sfrtke leaders claim that victory Is within their grasp. Business houses are using special messenger services to main tain communication with the provinces, as well as points outside of France. "The Harriman lines will build extensions In the west just aa fast as conditions will permit," said Julius Kruttschnitt, director f maintenance of th. Harriman lines, who passed through Omaha Friday evening en route to Chlrago. Mr. Kruttschnitt went south with Mr. Harriman a month ago, took a three weeks' vacation with htm at San Antonio and then made the trip through Mexico. "Mr. Harriman Is a most progressive man nd will build lines wherever tha condi tions warrant. It is now his Intention to build a double track between Omaha and Ogden and grading will soon begin west of Watson's ranch near Kearney, tha present end of tha double track system In No-braska. Mr. Kruttschnitt professed Ignorance as to when the line from Omsha to Uncoln would be built or when the North Platte extension would be built from Northport to Medicine Bow. He said Mr. Harriman did not have any Intention of going to Panama and that tha rumor that he would go on bis yacht waa not In accordance with facta. When shown clipping of a telegram from New York that Mr. Harrlman's yacht waa being fitted out for a trip to Panama Mr. Kruttschnitt said that was probably true, but that Mr. Harriman waa not going on th. yacht. "Trains will soon be running between San Francisco and Mexico and the Harriman officials expect a big business from tha Una through fertile valleys, land susceptible to irrigation, some of which did not need irri gation, but will grow splendid crops from the natural moisture," said Mr. Krutt schnitt. "Thrr. will be an Immense ton nage of coal and coke Into the new country and an Immense tonnage from the products of the mines. Mr. Harriman has not enjoyed better health in years than at present. He is most busy man and needed the rest ha Is taking, and It has done him a world of good. He did not mention anything about retlrlnfe from active work before I left him three days ago." Mr. Kruttschnltt'a car waa attached to train No. 10 of the Union Pacific, which was over two hours late at North Platte. The private car Was attached at North Platte to a big engine nnd from North Platte to Columbus made up two hours and ten minutes, pulling Into Union station at Omaha on time and was attached to the regular Northwestern train for Chicago which left at t p. m. ' In the hat rack Mr. Kruttnschnltt had a light atraw bat which he wore In Mexico, but which looked somewhat out of place In Nebraska, where snow was on the ground. Harrlmaw at flan Diego. BAN DIEOO.

Bewsher's Figures Questioned by Hastings Man L. P. Eoberts Says Omaha Expert Favors Bull Side of the Wheat Market It. V. Huberts of Hastlnga is not Inclined to accept the figures given out by A. F. Bewsher of Omsha as being sny nearer ac curate than those furnished by Secretary Wilson in regard to the wheat held In the hands of the fanners of Nebraska. Mr. Huberts writes to The Bee as follows: "HASTINGS, Neb., Marcli ls.-To the Ed itor of The Bee: Referring to your Issue of the lsih. I have been following with much Interest the seversl reports criticizing the government estimate of wheat in farm ers' hands March 1, 1909. While the gov ernment report may have been overesti mated, it is the opinion of xome who are v well Informed that those who are d!recii ."d may have underesti mated the .-esertx "I wish to invito j, ; ention to the part of your report wherein yo." Uow 13.1 p.-r cent reserves, and In the remarks which follow you deduct 5 per cent for seed pur poses, which aliuws only 8 per cent of last year's crop to supply the local mill trade. The report, from a bullish stsndpont, looks attractive and invites investment, but the author of your article la evidently a spring wheat product. The wheat crop of Ne braska Is almost wholly a winter wheat erop and has "een In the ground for several months. It will not be necessary to draw on present farm reserves for seed purposes. The average grain dealer Is not so much Interested In a i cr 20 per cent reserve as he Is In a report he feels reliable and not misleading. Yours truly, L. P. ROBERTS.

Body of Slain Detective is Shipped Home Corpse of Joseph Petrosini Leaves Palermo on the Steamer Slavonia. PALERMO, March 20. -Draped with the stsrs and stripes and covered with flowers, the coffin containing the body of Joseph Petrosini, head of the Italian branch of the New York City detective service waa placed on board the Slavonia today for conveyance to New York. Mr. Bishop, th. American consul, the civil and military authorities and all classes of citizens In Palermo joined In the procession to the dock. The Slavonia will sail March 9, and should arrive In New York early In April. The fact that Palermo Is full of police who are aeeklng th. whereabouts of Petro slnl's slayers has caused the Mafia to give a demonstration of Its power. Today a number of members of the band attacked a custom guard and robbed him of his revolver and purse, while at another point they set fire to a house, the owners of which had refused to reply to blackmailing letters. The people of Sicily are becoming aroused at what they characterise aa the Inefficiency pf the government and the police In their efforts to run down and arrest the persons who are responsible for the assassination of Joseph Petrosini, the American detective. A pop ular demonstration In censure of official Inaction and to express sympathy for th. victims of Sicilian crimes la being strongly urged. A fortunate Texaa. B. W.

Watching A Stomach Digest Food Was the Means Whereby Science Made Possible the Cure of Dyspepsia. Th. Abbe 8pallama.nl was the first scien tist to study systematically th. chemical powers of th. gastric Juice, but It was by the careful and convincing experiments of Beaumont that the foundation of our exact knowledgt of Ita composition and actlun wss laid. Beaumont was an army surgeon, located at. an obscure military post In Michigan, v hlle It was yet a territory, and was called npen to treat a gunshot wound of the Stomach In a Canadian voyageur Alexis St. Martin. When the wound healed a permanent opening was left by means of which food could be placed In the stomach and gastric Juice taken from it. Beaumont made scientific experiments with his crude means and wrote a book, which today is recognised among th classics of physiology. Beaumont biased the way fcr other scien tists, so that today medicine knows what the stomach does wtlh food and what food does to th. stomach. Science also knows what the gastrin Juices are and how to ir.ak. them best for the system, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, thanks to the poor army surgeon and Alexis St. Martin, give man a means of digesting food, re plenishing the exhausted Juices, soothing the nerves and correcting dyspeptic condi tions of the stomach. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are natural food and vegetable easences reduced In con centrated form and by tremendous power compressed Into a tablet. These wonderful little dig-store ar. known all over America and Canada. Full meals have been di. Bested by them In glass tubes and they are sold by every druggist.
