Surviving Passengers
Mexico City—The list of dead in the
murderous attack by Zapatistas, on
the Mexico-Cuernavaca train near
l'arres, on the edge of the federal dis-

became known, to a total of eighty-
four, Including three of the wounded
who succumbed In the railway hos-
pital.
A second relief train which reached
the capital early Sunday brought
twenty-three passengers who had es-
caped the butchery and made their
way Into Tres Marias, a few miles
away. Eleven were accounted for last
night.
It is estimated that the train com-
posed of one first-class and three sec-
ond cIbbs coaches, carried approxi-
mately seventy-five passengers, in ad-
dition to the fifty soldiers of the es-
cort, forty-three of whom were killed.
Nine bodies of passengers wore found

the Senate on the Panama Canal bill.
The support for the provision giving
free passage to American ships against
which measure Great Britain has pro-
tested, was more emphatic than at any
time since the Senate began con-
sideration of the bill. Mr. O'Gorman,
Mr. Cummins and others said if the
United States had to construe the
treaty literally in giving the ships of |
all Nations equal treatment, it would,
by other terms of the treaty, be pre-
vented from defending the canal in
case of war.
Senator Burton of Ohio, who made
the first speech in support of the Brit-
ish theory, declared war would suspend
operation of the treaty. Senator Mc-
Cumber, in a speech against the free
provision, conceded it was his belief
the canal would have to remain neu-
tral, even in time of war, and that the
United States would be forbidden by
the Hay-Paunceforte treaty from tak-
ing any measures to blockade or use
the canal for its own protection.
Senator O'Gorman declared railroad
influence was behind the British pro-
test.
"1 don't think British shipping is
greatly interested," he said. "1 believe
the railroads of Canada and the rail-
roads of the United States have been
enabled to secure the co-operation of
the British Office of Fireign Affairs
to embarrass this Government in the
attempt we are making to secure leg-
islation to keep railroad controlled
ships out of the Panama Canal.
"The only Government that has as-
sumed any especial burden under the
treaty is the United States," said Mr.
O'Gorman. "England and other coun-
tries have assumed no burdens be-
yond the payment of tolls and the
agreement as to the terms of Its neu-
trality."
Senator Lodge raised the question
whether the United States would have
a right to interfere if another country
should undertake to pay the tolls of its
ships when passing through the canal.
No foreign country, he Said, could in-
terfere with any arrangement the
1'nited States might make for the pay-
ment of tolls.
MADE BIG PROFIT FOR STATE
Purely Business Argument for the Es-
tablishment of Sanltorlums for
the Tuberculosis.
According to figures contained in the
annual report of Dr. H. L. Barnes, su-
perintendent of the Rhode Island state
'sanitorium, the earnings of the ex-
patients of that institution during the
year 1911 would amount to over $266,-
000. This is a sum three times as
large as that spent each year for main-
tenance of the institution, including
four per cent. Interest and deprecia-
tion charges.
The actual earnings in 1911 of 170
ex-patients were obtained by Dr.
Barnes. These ranged from $2 to $31
per week, the total earnings for the
year amounting to $102,752. On this
basis, Dr. Barnes computes the figures
ftbove given. He says, however:
"While institutions for the cure of
tuberculosis are good investments,
there is good reason for thinking that
institutions for the isolation of far-
advances cases would be still better
Investments.
Out of a total of 46,450 hospital
days' treatment given, 39,147, or 84
per cent., were free, the treatment
costing the state on an average $200
per patient. Out of 188 free cases in-
vestigated, 56 had no families and no
Income on admission to the sanito-
rium. Out of 132 patients having
homes, the number In the family aver-
aged 5.2, and the average family earn-
ings were $5.46. In 59 cases the fami-
lies had no income, and in only five
cases were there any savings, none of
which amounted to as much as $100.

Root and Others Argue Panama Bill
Would Discriminate
Washington.—Great Britains pro j
test that the United States has no I
right, under the Hay-Pauncefote j
treaty to pass Its own coastwise ves
sels free through the Panama canal
while it collects tolls from British
and other foreign ships, found em
phat.ic support in the senate.
Opening the fight over the Panama
canal bill sent to the senate by the
house, in which the free provision is
an important feature, Senators Bur
ton of Ohio and Root of New York,
outlined the ground upon which en-
tarnce of free American ships will
place their battle.
Root declared Great Britain had
surrendered important rights in Pan
ama and had stood for the equal treat
ment of all In the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty. The controversy hinges on
the question of whether the United
States meant to include vessels owenc
| by its own citizens.

A Perfectly Digested Breakfast Make*

Everything goes wrong if the break-

pie. What you eat does harm If you
can't digest it—it turns to poison.
A bright lady teacher found this to
be true, even of an ordinary light
breakfast of eggs and toast. She
says;
"Two years ago I contracted a very
annoying form of indigestion. My stom-
ach was in such condition that a sim-
ple breakfast of fruit, toast and egg
gave me great distress.
"I was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such a simple diet,
but finally had to give it up, and found
a great change upon a cup of hot
Postunj and Grape-Nuts with cream,
for my morning meal. For more than
a year 1 have held to this course and
have not suffered except when injudi-
ciously varying my diet.
"1 have been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digest-
ed breakfast means a saving of nerv-
ous force for the entire day. My gain
of ten pounds in weight also causes
me to want to testify to the value of
Grape-Nuts.
