"UNCLE 8AM" HELPED MADERO? Report of Committee Before Semite. No Protection for citizen H. Washington, Feb. 27.-Senator Smith, ot Michigan, chairman of the Senate special committee appointed to investigate alleged activity of. Americans in inciting and aiding Mexican revolutionists since 1910, to-day presented to the Senate a huge volume of testimony taken dur ing the committee's hearings along the Mexican border last fall. Most of the testimony had been made pub lic, but the official publication to-day placed it for the first time in the bands of Senators. A volume of more than 900 'print ed pages covers examination of more than 150 witnesses, many of whom expressed the belief that tho United States had shown partiality toward the Madero forces; that tho neutral ity laws had been violated In their .behalf, but strictly enforced against \ho Orozco forces when Madero came iuco 'power. The volume presented to the Sen ate to-day contained no statement c conclusions, or summary of the evi dence by the committee. Many wit nesses expressed belief that large interests centering in the financial circles of New York had aided the Madero forces. The committee is understood to bo seeking further in formation on that point. Edward C. Houghton, manager of a big ranching and mining company in Chihuahua, told the committee that Salazar, one of the leaders In the rebellion of last year, had told him "that the American government had allied itself with Madero, to fight the liberal cause, and that conse quently there would be no moro guar antees to American and fdreigu In terests." Many witnesses declared Ameri cans received less consideration In Mexico than other foreigners; that the Mexican rebels openly taunted settlers and that the American gov ernment would not protect them. George A. Laird, manager of the' Candalarla Mining Company at San Pei!rj, testified that rebel leaders held that demonstrations against Americans "were due to the belief that the United States government would do nothing artd that they could do anything they wished to American citizens. Senator Smith asked the Senate to continue the work of his committee until next December. Liggett <$ Myers Di great pipe smoke-and nothing can beat it.

Spartanburg, Feb. 27.-Th? first, real sensation in the series of whis key trials, now in progress in the recorder's court, was sprung to-day, when, on cross examination, Capt. William McGowan forced H. B. Barnes, the North Carolina detectiv?, to admit that he had considered a proposition from several of the ac cused tigers whereby he was to leave the State upon the payment o? $250. The detective was not abashed at this sensational production. The de fense wus having their inning. On re-direct examination a clean breast of the matter was unearthed, and the evidence produced In the al leged frame-up scattered several of tho tigers who were present at the trial. When the te?timony of wit nesses was concluded there was noth ing left but the judge, jury, attorneys and the two defendants on trial and less than a half dozen spectators. The North Carolina detective was next called, :?nd after having testi fied to the .-jal Issues In the case, opened up with full force In regard to the overtures made him by seve ral of the club owners, who had ap proached him in regard to leaving tile State and not giving testimony against them in the trials that are yet to come. Incriminated in this serious charge was a man named Worley, whom the detective accused of having taken tho leading part. He said that a man named Jerry Frank lin was the middleman trading be tween himself and the accused club owners, who were desirous of his hasty exodus. He gave serious consideration to the proposition and even went so far j as to write a letter giving his terms. While the defense was taking the sporting chance of showing up Barnes, the tables were turned. Recorder Pasley refused to grant the motion that the testimony be stricken out, and Attorney McCarley, representing the city, fired question after question at the detective, and the result was an explosion in the camp of the alleged social club moguls. Recorder Pasley, In his refusal to grant the motion, was heated In his remarks and said that he would see that the matter was sifted to the bottom and every man Incriminated In tho frame-up to bribe the witness would be severely:, prosecuted. >u Seen ti Now in ike's Mixture makes a rolled into a cigarette noke of thousands of lt pure.

THESE HAVE PAID FATAL PRICE Heven Rulers of Mexico Have Sui fered Death Since 1810. Witta the recent killing of Madero and Suarez, the deposed heads of the Mexican Republic, in Mexico City, the list of those who have paid Ae fatal price of ruling in Mexl?"? is increased to seven names. Just a little more than a century ago Mi chael Hidalgo y CoBtllla, the parish priest of Dolores, arose as the "lib erator" of Mexico and clutched con trol from the feeble hands of the Spanish viceroy. An obscure country priest, Huaigc, conspired with his own parish in the State of Guanajuato, in 1810, and in the fall of that year, when he rang the bell of his church to call the peo ple to war, an army of 5,000 rallied to his standard. He pressed on to ward Mexico City with his constantly increasing numbers until <he had a following of 100.000 patriotic, but undisciplined, men. A force of 6,000 veteran soldiers of Spain delivered a crushing defeat in January, 1811, and drove Hualgo to the mountains, where he waged guerilla warfare until he was caught and shot in July, 1811. The Hst of rulers of Mexico which have "listened last to t!.o rifle's speech" thus opened is as follows: Michael y Costilla, "liberator," 1811. Jose Maria Morelos y Pav?n, Pres ident, 1815. Erascisco Xavier Mina, President, 1817. Augus'in de I t?rbido. Emperor, 1824. Maximilian, Archduke of Austria, Emperor, 1 876. Erancisci. I. Madero.' President, 1 ill 3.

These trees are so arranged that after two years' time they will give as- much 3hade as trees in the ordinary way of setting out would give that are fifteen or twenty years old. The company gets a small elm tree, preferably digging this, roots and all, from the ground. The tree then is set, the top part be ing set into the ground and the roots are left in the air. The tree then growB, forms roots on what origi nally was the top of the tree, and the original roots that now take the place of the branches begin to leaf out and form a complete foliage very quickly. Beautiful specimens of such inverted trees are to bo seen by the fountains in Kensington Gar dens, London. , Ho Was He. Dodgin was the new manager of a large concern. There was a work man in that concern who liked to sneak off to a shed at about three In the afternoon and smoke a pipe and look over tho afternoon paper for an hour or so. Well, one day as the workman sat reading and smoking ii> the shed, Dodgin appeared. "Who are you?" Dodgin asked sternly, frowning at the idle work man. The workman frowned back. "Huh, who are you?" said he. "I'm Dodgin-the new manager," was the reply. At this the workman smiled. "So am I," he said hoartlly. "Como in and have a smoke."

Chicago, Feb. 28.-After a while tho human race will be bald, tooth less and four-toed, so ProfessorVred erick Starr, the celebrated anthro pologist, yesterday informed his class at tho University of Chicago. "Man will have no teeth," said Prof. Starr, "because he will need no teeth. He will have no hair because he no longer needs that. And his little toes will disappear because he bas ceased to use them. "Nature will not stand for unused utensils. If we fail to employ any of our faculties nature Is sure to take them away from us In tho course of time. She may let us keep them for a generation or more, but persistent idleness sho will not tolerate. "Our hair and our little toes have been Idle now for a long time. And our teeth are growing more and more indolent. Presently, in the near fu ture, I think, children will be born who will fall completely to develop hair and teeth and little toes. "The reason for tho disappearance of teeth is that we are constantly in venting new kinds of food that do not. need mastication."

But beauty Iles deeper than that. lt lies in health. In the majority of caBes the basis of health, and the cause of sickness, can be traced to the action of the bowels. Tho headaches, the lassitudo, the sallow Bkln and the lusterless eyes are usually due to constipation. So many things that women do habitu ally conduce to this trouble. They do not eat carefully; they eat Indi gestible foods because the foods are served daintily and they do not ex ercise enough. But whatever the particular cause may be lt ls import ant that the condition should be cor ree ted.

'I.'n I ted States Deserves from Europe Ungrudging Moral Support.*1 London, Feb. 24.-Tho Daily Ex press, in an editorial on what it terms President Taft's hesitation to act in Mexico, says: "Revolution and anarchy do not stand on Presidential etiqutte, and the security of life and property In Mexico will not walt while President-elect Wilson installs himself." The Express describes au expedi tionary force of 9,000 American troops as "a pill for an earthquake" and declares such a venture will need 100,000 men. The newspaper urges the British government to press for Immediate action on the Washington government. I The Dally Chronicle declares that 1 Madero was vput to death by Presi dent Huerta and asks what the Uni ted States will do. It thinks that any middle course, such as financial or riiilitary propping up of one or the other among the Mexican leaders by the United States and the creation of a sort of "Mexican Cuba" could only be achieved by a combination of luck and adroit diplomacy, while an enormous army will be needed to conquer Mexico. The editorial con cluded: "Nobody can envy the Uni ted States her task, in approaching which she deserves from Europe no ungrudging measure of moral sup port." The Daily News says: "Madero has been murdered, and the United States government is expressing the world's indignation at the treachery which brought the Huerta adminis tration into office and the ruthless ness with which they are exercising their probably brief tenure of power." The Daily Mail says the United States has commanded that Madero should not be executed without trial, and that a great neighboring State is not 1'ghtly to be mocked. The mon ln?f newspapers denounce the killing of Francisco Madero and Pino Suarez as senseless and barba rous. The Standard in an editorial stignu.tizes it as an "Indefensible crime, imposing a load of Infamy on President Huerta's administration." The Standard declares that American Intervention In Mexico can hardly be delayed and that British opinion will be wholly sympathetic to any action on which the Washington cabinet will likely decide. The Dally GTaphic says the shoot ings Madero and Suarez shows that nothing has changed in Mexico, and that nothing will be changed until either another Diaz arises or the "big stick" from the North realizes its duty "in these anarchic wilds."
