Th Cadahy Case.
Tom Creigh, Jr.. of Omaha, who. with
Mr. Jamea If. Cudahy, has been, in Wash
ington for several days endeavoring to
bring about an adjustment of "differences
between the federal" government and 'the
Cudahy Packing company, as outlined trr a
suit brought by the United States district
attorney of K annua against the Omaha
end Chicago company for an alleged viola
tion of law relating 1o oleomargarine, aald
today:
We are here for the pqrpos of get
ting tha 'faets before the commissioner
of Internal . revenue. The case begun
sgsinst tl1. Cudahy-'company in Kanaas
City, as '. f-i understand It. was not
prompted by'-the department, but was
taken on th district attorney's own In
itiative. The Cudahy company has en
dcavored to live up to the oleomargarine
law. Where It has a shade of color that
color Is natural. This we have endeavored
to demonstrate by chemical analysis.
The department, however, does not seem
to realise that oleomargarine may pre
sent a different appearance at different
times of .the year,.. Just as butter does,
and we are in Washington for ths pur
pone of Hhuwlng Mr. Capers that the
units begun "against trie Cudahy company
In Kansas City are wholly unwarranted."
J. M. Cudahy left for New Tork today.

Machinery in
; Preparation to
Take Census
Director North Gets Busy, Though
Census Act Has Not Tet Passed
in Upper House.
-
(From Btaff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, April 0 -SpeclaI Tele
gramsThough the bill providing for tak
ing the thirteenth census of the United
States has net yt become a law. Director
North of the Census bureau Is. and has
been for soma weeks, preparing to put the
vast machinery Into work to accomplish
the work for 1910 as expeditiously as pos
sible. The proposition of Director North Is to
throw his enumerators Into the field April
15, 1910, and complete the enumeration of
Inhabitants of the rural districts within
thirty days. In cities of 8,000 pr over it
is expected enumerators will count heads,
so to speak, within fifteen days, so that
by May 15, 1910, enumeration, urban and
country, will be completed and reports
ready to forward to Washington for tab
ulation. -
Under the pending census bill there will
be a supervisor for each congressional dis
trict In each state so far-aa It Is prac
ticable to arrange such sub-dlvhilon along
geographical lines. ' These supervisors of
the census will receive a salary, Af,l,500
for their work, and in addition will receive
tl for each 1,000 names enumerated within
their territory. These supervisors are to
be appointed by the president and must
hsve the confirmation of the senate.
The enumerators who actually make a
house to house canvass are to be paid a per
diem of from S3 to St, depending upon the
territory In which they work. In cities,
enumerators will receive a certain amount
for each name. In Nebraska there will be
six supervisors, one for each congressional
district, and they will have under them
1,300 enumerators.
In Iowa there will be eleven supervisors
and 2,200 enumerators.
In South Dakota there are to be ap
pointed two supervisors and 800 enumerat
ors, while in Wyoming there will be one
supervisor and 160 enumerators.

LONDON, April II. A special dispatch
received her from , Constantinople says
that a definite agreement between th gov
ernment and the committee of union and
progress has been concluded. Abdul Hamld
Is to remain as sultan of Turkey, but th
present cabinet will resign Immediately.
CONSTANTINOPLE, April Jl.-The re
ceipt of the news here that th American
government had ordered the cruisers Mon
tana and North Carolina to Alexandretta,
In Asiatic Turkey, for th protection of
Americans has brought satisfaction and
even a sense of security to Americans here
and In the Syrian coast cities of Merslna,
Beirut end Alexandretta, whither th la.
formation has been forwarded. The
trouble may be over before th cruisers
arrive, but there Is also a chance that
In two or three weeks' lime civil war may
be beginning. In which event the vessels
would be Invaluable for the protection of
the Americans. Great Britain, France and
Italy already have warships on this coast,
while Germany is sending vessels, and In
addition all the groat -powers maintain
guardshtps at Constantinople.
The consuls and the consular sgenta sta
tioned on the Syrian toast sent in tele
grams yesterday and today declared that
the missionaries were receiving strong pro
tection at the hands of the Turkish au
thorities. J.. B. Jackson, the American
consul at Aleppo, however, expreasea some
concern for the missionaries In outlying
stations who hav given asylum to Chris
tian refugees. At a number of place the
conditions are not yet sufficiently quiet to
permit these refugees to leave th stations
and aa a result the missionaries ara still
exposed to the possibility of mob attack.
Later reports from ths Syrian coast say
th racial fanaticism Is extending In th
vilayet of Aleppo. Disturbances have
broken out at Ancloch and BlreJIk and for
eigners have taken refuge at the British
vie consulates. The British cruiser Diana
has landed fifty men at Alexandretta. Th
sheik-ul-lslam, the heed of th church, ha
telegraphed the ecclesiastical authorities in
Syria to exert every effort to put a stop
to the disorders. Th civil and military
authorities appear to be powerless effect
ively to control the situation.
A telegram 'received her today from
William Chambers, an American mission
ary at Adana, dated yesterday, says:
"The trouble began April 11. . By even
ing of April 1 Adana was quieter and
peace still continued. The town Is under
martial law. Many people were killed.
there was much looting, great damage waa
done by fire, the market waa almost totally
destroyed and' the district waa In a tur
moil." .

ON INCOME TAX

criticism, said ha had been represented as
making an insidious attack upon the prin
ciple of protection by th raising of revenue
from an Income tax.
"I desire," he said, "to disclaim any such
Intention. There la no senator claiming
allegiance to the republican party whose
fealty to the doctrine of protection Is
greater than my own. I understand that
I came Into the senate with som suspicion
respecting my views upon the policy of
protection, t admit that If I am to be
measured by the tests imposed by that
association of slander known aa the Ameri
can Protective league, then it will be found
to be unsound. But if I am to be measured
by the republican platform and by the
declarations of McKlnley, Harrison ami
Blaine, then I am as sound ss any senator
who marches under the political banner to
which I yield my loyalty."
Mr. Cummins contended that th Payne
bill would not Insure sufficient revenue,
but Mr. Aldrich took Issue with him, say
ing that the export estimates of th revenue
are more liberal than his.
BUI Read by Paragraphs.
There was a full attendance of senators
when the reading of th tariff bill para
graph by paragraph was begun In th
senate today on motion of Mr. Aldrich. On
Mr. Aldrich' suggestion It was agreed that
any amendment to which there should be
objection, should be passed over with the
understanding that any senator might move
at any time to take up any paragraph after
It had been read.
Mr. Dolllver suggested that the reci
procity and retaliatory clauses and th
drawback and th administrative features
of the bill ought to be reported by the com
mittee on finance before the consideration
of the bill was begun. Various suggestions
were made for additional tabulated stste-

merits for the use of senators In order to
facilitate an understanding of various
schedules of the bill and Mr. Aldrich
agreed to have such statements prepared.
Criticism by DolM-rer.
After various questions by senators con
cerning their right at any time to suggest
amendments to the bill, the reading was
begun. As It was proceeded with, questions
were frequently asked by senators concern
ing the various Items of the bill, but the
reading proceeded at considerable length
before there was any serious Interruption.
One of the first suggestions came from
Mr. Dolllver. who criticised the action of
the committee In Increasing th Payne rates
on manufactured celluloid articles to the
existing Dlngley rates. The explanations
were made by Messrs. Aldrich and Smoot,
that the manufacturers of celluloid goods
In the United States are In danger of being
driven out of business by cheap manufac
turers In Japan. Mr. Smoot said that two
large, new factories are now being built
In that country. Mr. Brlggs gave notice
that be would offer an amendment for a
still higher rate.

BIOUX FALU a D.. April a. The gov
ernment today concluded the work of offer
ing evidence In the case of Anson Wagar,
former United States commissioner at
Dallas, who Is on trial In the United States
court on the charge of embexsllng trust
funds, which had been placed in his hands
by homesteaders.
The defendant commenced offering testi
mony In his own behalf this afternoon.
Several witnesses were placed on the stand
to testify as to his good character and then
the defendant himself was called as a wit
ness. He said his failure to transmit to
the United States land officials the final
proof papers In question together with the
money turned over to him was due purely
to neglect resulting from his multitudin
ous duties outside of those as commissioner
and that he acted absolutely In good faith
and without the slightest Intention of de
frauding any of the homesteaders out of a
single penny. He claims he was on his way
to the land office with some of the belated
final proofs when arrested. When court
adjourned until tomorrow. Wagar was yet
on the witness stand. His cross-examina
tion Is expected to be completed before the
noon hour Thursdsy.

You are drowsy, heavy, despondent,

seems hardly worth living. Then ask your
self: "Do your bowels move rfgularly?"
If your answer will be "NO," tfcat la th
cause of your troubles. Not properly cor

serious disorders of the blood and body,
