WASHINGTON. June 19.-A sweeping
Investigation of the relations between the
Klcarnguan eovernment and American
bankers Interested In that republic, and
the part the American State department
may have played in Nlcaraguan affairs
probably will be undertaken by the sen
ate foreign relations committee In the
near future.
Before the convention consents to ratify
the proposed treaty with Nicaragua It Is
practically certain that It will use every
mesne In Its power to obtain all posslblo
Information which will bear on the treaty
and what It means.
Secretary Bryan and Charles D. Doug
las, attorney for the Nlcaraguan govern
ment, were before the committee for sev
eral hours today discussing this treaty,
which would give the United States Inter
ocennlc canal rights and naval bases In
exenango for $3,000,000 and the practical
establishment of a protectorate over the
Central American country.
Questioned by members of the commit
tee. Sir. Bryan ald that American bank
ers own 51 per cent of the etock of the
Nlcaraguan railway, and that the other
49 per cent was hypothecated for Jl.000,00)
to the same bankers, and Is now In danger
of being sold under foreclosure proceed
ings. He said part of the $3,000,000 lnleht
be used to prevent such foreclosure and
allow Nicaragua to retain n large Interest
In its railroads. Mr. Bryan also said that
the same bankers control 51 per cent of
the stock of the Nlcaraguan National
bank.
These two statements wero heard with
Interest by members of the committee.
They are said to be anxious to Icirn how
Nicaragua turned over Its railroad and
Its national bank to American financiers.
Interest was also shown in the question
of whether most of the W.000,000 Is to get
Into the Nlcaraguan treasury or be sub
ject to the hands of politicians and others.
Mr. Douglas declared that he believed
the money would get to the Nlcaraguan
government without question.
BENSON BANKERS' BEFORE
THE EQUALIZATION BOARD
Officers and attorneys ol the Bank of
Benson were before the county commis
sioners, sitting as a board of equaliza
tion. They wero summoned to appear
and show reasons for not making any

Tho following dispatch from Berlin
confirms our worst fears:
Dr. Doehme of this city announces that
he has discovered a new disease, which
he describes In a medical periodical under
the name of the "tango foot."
For months we have lived In dread of
the striking of the evil hour when disease
WOUia BUUUCdly BlUlIt UI1IV1IB uo vjti iiio I
dance hall floor and turn tho laughter of j
our Joyous revelry to groan of dismal
pain. Dance now as mildly as we may.
dip as carefully as we can. Boston,
gavotte, grapevine, chasse, kitchen sink
and scissors with due caution and re
straint, we never again feel tho same old
thrill and keen delight and blissful aban
don. Eer henceforth, as we tango, hesi
tate and maxlxe, there will be this grim,
grinning, mocking terror of the "tango
foot" to obtrude' upon our pleasure.
It waa always thus, It seems. No
sooner has a new, entrancing and absorb
ing diversion come to Interest and amuse
us and life us above tho. dull monotonies
of life than something appears to mar
the pleasure and forbid tho pastime. It
was so. In bicycling days when we had
the scorcher's heart and the bicycle knee.
It came again with the motor car to af
flict us with the automobile face, and.
Just as we were prepared to- settle down
to a fearless, painless enjoyment of mov
ing pictures the malignant movie eye
made Its unwelcome ad-ent. Heavy
hearted, we sought solace next In the
rhythmic measures of tho dance, assured
that we had found at last the healthful
tecreatlon without a blemish, only to en
counter tho "tango foot"
It Is a cruel blow, and not by any
means the least distressing feature of it
is the fact that It falls not alone on the
dancer. At the very moment when tho
German Investigator was apprising the
world of his appalling discovery, the
wholesale clothiers of the United States,
assembled In annual convention at At
lantic City, wero congratulating them
selves on the Increased business due to
tho tango. "Men," said tho leading dele
gate, "who couldn't be pushed Into a
' dress suit a year ago are now tho most
finicky about their raiment The erase
for dancing has brought about the
change."
But It Is an ill wind that blows no one
good. Doctors at least will profit those
at any rate not too lamed with "tango
foot" themselves. The Berlin discoverer
admonishes "sufferers from thlB painful
disease who are addicted to Indulgence In
the now dances to consult a physician
and get treatment at the first warning
they have of the approach of the
trouble." And here, serious as It Is, there
Is still a word of cheer and a ray of
sunshine. For he does not say. "Stop
dancing;" he says, "Consult a physician."
There Is a difference, and. If the Utter
may seem a little dismal In Itself, It Is
not without some compensation as long
as the dance goes on. Indianapolis News.
