DHS MOINHS , March 5. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The board of control 'bill passed the
cruclil test In the senate tolay. Discussion
on the Blanchard amendment to abolish the
statutory committee on confirmation con
tinued for three hours and a hilt , when the
original inollon was put and the amendment
Icflt. By Its actbn the senate endorsed whit
has been considered the weakest portion ot
the measure and practically assured Its pas
sage. The opinion was freely expressed this
evening that th bill would pats the senate
within two or three days and the house
within a week.
The debate today WJB of the same lurid ,
pononal order as 011 Friday. Senator Healy
took the floor Immediately after call to order
and upoko for an hour and a half. Ho took
up the bill , section by section , explaining
the minutest details and giving special at
tention to the Ironclid provisions relating
to purchase of supplies.
He was followed by LDthrop , who supported
the amendment. The bill , ho declared , would
render the government helpless In appoint
ing the board. Senator Healy , he Bald , had
completely Ignored the real lissue. Senator
Harrlman followed and attempted to fuake
reply to the vigorous arraignment irnide of
him by Sorutor Healy on Friday. "The sen
ator from We-bstcr" ( Healy ) , said he , "called
mo a pap sucker because two of my scua
hold positions on the faculties of state Insti
tutions. They cam their salaries , but the
senator Insists a man who hc two such
sons is a pap-sucker. " Continuing Senator
Hirriman set the senate chamber In a fluttei
by Intimating In strong terms that Senator
Healy was drawing thesilary of a committee
clerk , Miss Well. ? , who , so far a he could
discover was not In existence. Senator Heal )
made quick retort , "but Ilarriman would nol
yield the floor. Ho again w-ixed sensational
producing an appropriation for $30,000 U
compensate the Investigating committee or
which Healy wnn chairman. Ho was , lu
said , endeavoring to draw pay for a task IK
had undertaken with a distinct understand
ing that there should be no compensation
Harrlman having concluded. Senator Car
ley asjurcd him he had Introduced the 'bll
despltu the protest ot Senator Healy , think
Ing the committee entitled to remuneration
Senator Healy himself followed , and very ef
fectunlly lowered the colors of Senator Har
rlinan. Ho demonstrated that Miss Wellt
really existed , that he had never drawn he
salary utid that he had urged the chalrmar
of the appropriation committee to squeezi
the bill to death , He concluded his icmarki
ninM applause.
Blanchard concluded -the discussion on hi ,
amendment. Ho was amazed that the mem
bers of proposed committee should cndeavo
to arrogate to thurraclvci * so much power
( t would practically tie .sho hands of the gov
crnor anil make the committee the grcates
political machine In the state. On roll cal
Itho amendment was lost by aote of 27 ti

Charles Oerber , the aged German In the
bogus draft line , was arraigned In police
court yesterday morning. He ammunced his
willingness to waive examination. In de
fault of the required bond he was sent to
the county Jail to await the action of the
district court grand Jury.
Several applications have been received
from other cities where Gerber's victims
reside asking what chance there was of get
ting hold of the old man. One application
rame from Samuel Payne , hotel keeper of
Red Oak. who wants to secure satisfaction
for cashing a worthless draft for $15. An
other was from St. Jcscph , where a couple
of victim * are waiting for the name chance.
The respMse of the local authorities was
unequlvocjlly negative and was further em
phasized by the procuring of another Information
mation charging Gerber with the same
offerse.
Gerber Is something of an anomaly to
thepolice. . He has none of the appearances
of a criminal and his conduct Is that of a
refined and harmless old gentleman. Fur
ther sympathy Is aroused for him by the
tears that fill his blue eyes when he tnlk3
nf his troubles and realizes all that may
be ahead of him In the way of punishment.
He raid pathetically yesterday : "It would
kill me to ha\e to go to prison. I did not
know what I was doing. " On the other
hand the police are at a loss to reconcile
this apparent helplesa Innocence with the
facts they have brought to light as Indicat
ing the real nature of the man. Amcog the
papers they founl In his room In Souih
Omaha were a large number ot sheets of
paper upon which he had spent much time
practicing the names of arlous buslnew
firms All of these signatures indicate that
forgery on a wholesale scale was contem
plated , Some signatures of Omaha flnra
have been found that ore almost Impossible
to detect from the gerulno.
He announced yesterday that there was
no doubt If his friends l n Brooklyn were
rommunlatcd with they would quickly come
to hl/i rescue and make gooj all of his short
comings , In a financial way , but refused posi
tively to consent to having them advised
of his situation. "It can't last long , " said
he. "anl I will bear my pucilahment aloao. "

RICH SIX SQUARE MILES
Colorado Plot of Ground with a Record
Never Equaled in Mining.
OUTPUT OF THIRTY-NINE YEARS
MoriTlillli IflOO.WMl.OOO Worth o (

SlimII 1'nrt of ( iroiinil Him JIcoii
IlutelontMl A Sample llffuril.
DENVER. March 5. ( Special. ) There Is In
Colorado an area of about six mites square
ot mineral producing territory that has
probably the most wonderful record for the
production of the precious metals of any
equal area with the same amount of devel
opment known In history. The gold fieltl
extends from Central City to Idaho Springs
and Including the producing mines In the
vicinity of both towns embraces not far
from thirty-six square miles and has been
In operation for thlrty-nlno years with no
Indications of a diminution of the supply
of gold. Prom the time that the first Georgia
stamp mill with Its timber stems for the
battery and rude appliances for catching
the gold was erected In Gregory gulch there
has never been a day when the sound ot
dropping has not been heard , and when Gll-
pln and Clear Creek counties have not con
tributed their share of the. world's gold
supply.
During these thirty-nine years the records
show a production ot ncaily { 120,000,000
from this plat of ground this pin
point on the earth's surface. The amount
has been exceeded , perhaps , by other gold
producing sections of the world , but never
from the same area or with the same
amount of development. In the Transvaal ,
with a production ot $40,000,000 per
annum , the gold 'bearing ' reefs are six
miles wide by 150 miles long 900 t > quaro
miles , an average of $4,444 per square mite
per annum. In the Colorado district the
average production has been $3,000,000 per
annum , or $83,333 for each square mile ot
territory each year that the mines have been
In operation.
The calculation might be carried further
to show the result of each cubic yard o.
excavation , but from the reports of the
South African companies submitted to the
Uritish stockholders , which are complete In
detail and show just what work has been
done , It Is apparent that the amount of rock
taken out In the Transvaal Is equivalent
to an excavation of the entire thirty-six
square miles under consideration to a depth
of 200 feet , while the average depth of all
the working mines In this wonderful six
miles square of gold producing ground Is
not more than 250 feet.
When gold was discovered In the Trans-
\aal there was an Immediate rush of capital
to that eectlon. The mines were equipped
with enormous and expensive plants ot ma
chinery , heavy forces of men were put on
development and there was a feverish haste
to get out the greatest amount of rock In
the shortest possible time. The result has
been an amount of excavation that has never
been equaled in the same time and along
the 150 miles of reef Included In the Rand
district there Is one continuous succession
of great machinery plants hoisting rock with
wonderful rapidity.
CAPITAL TAKEN FROM THE GROUND.
In Gllpln and Clear Creek counties , on the
other hand , the capital now employed lu
working the ground has In great part been
taken out of the ground Itself and consequently
quently the accretion of capital and the de
velopment resulting therefrom has been
slow. In fact. It Is only during compara
tively recent years that foreign capital , In
any considerable amount , has been attracted
to thin section as a profitable place for In
vestment. Many of the mines are hardly
opened yet , many more have not been
opened at all except with the shallow workIngs -
Ings necessary to prove the existence of the
minerals , and It has been demonstrated bo-
'yond the shadow of question that the r < ast
record of this remarkable area , as brilliant
as It Is , Is absolutely nothing In comparison
with the possibilities of the future.
The permanency of the fissure veins of
this great gold producing territory has been
thoroughly demonstrated. It has been shown
that what la found at the depth ot 200 feet
may be reasonably expected at the depth
of 4,000. Mines which have been abandoned
at 'a time when the conditions of profitable
production were not as favorable as they
are at present have been reopened and are
now chipping regularly and making mooey
for their owners. The production M Increas
ing every year and the future production
of the camp , based upon known conditions ,
is justly regarded as offering the most favor
able opportunities for safe permanent in
vestments ot any mining district In. the
country.
The life of the average mine Is HUH more
than twenty years , and yet here Is a a'atvlct
that hail already passed through thirty-nine
years of active production and still has Hi-
best days before It. With modern methods
and appliances It baa been she n that a
mine may be worked to the depth ot at leas )
4,000 feet , while the average workings ol
this district are scarcely more than one-
sixteenth ot that depth.
What has been done In this six mile :
square may be expected In the immense ter
ritory Included In the great sulphide belt
which has been developed mainly througl
the example of Gllpln and Clear Creek coun
ties , and the wonderful record hero showr
proves the assertion that Colorado's gok
fields are without a rival in the world.

About GnmlilliiK.
TACOMA , Wush. , March G. ( Special. )
Mayor Fawcett's Ignorance of the true In
wardness of gambling devices has led to a
rather mixed condition of affairs RS con
cerns the "sure thing" games , which his
honor has ordered must not be allowed to
run. Such games < u < the Tlvoll , the die case ,
etc. , were ordered closed , and , Instead , oilier
games were substituted. When the mayor
visited a gambling house on a tour o fln-
spectlon last evening ho saw none of the
games ho had ordered cloicd In operation ,
and was about to go home with the con
viction of having done'his duty fully upto
the mark , when some "wise one" hinted
that ho wan being hoodwinked. His
"knocker" explained that the substitute
games were practically the same ap the
prescribed ones , and then went on to Illus
trate how victims are still "Jcppecl" ( placed
In Jpopardy ) , and how In all these gomes
they are placed on conditional prizes and
eventually "skinned. "
Now the mayor Is worse off than before.
Ho evidently wants the crooked games
closed , but cannot reo just how he Is to
know which are crooked. He admits that
his knowledge of the wagon business docs
not help him even with the "big wheel ; "
that his experience In fighting sorehead
populists and republican' councllmen gives
him no tip In locating "confidence games , "
and , strangely enough , that his veto power
don't show him how to stop "grafters. "
When asked whether he had secured any
further light on the subject , he replied de
jectedly that ho had not. After telling how
someone who knows more about gambling
than himself will have lo determine which
games areto ho closed , he said he guessed
ho'd stay away from them , for , like the
coon In the song , they all look alike ! o

An attempt WM made at 11:45 : o'clock last
night to hold Up Conductor C. T. Mlchelson
of the Lake street stub llae. The highway
men were outwitted by the conductor , who
saved his money and captured a revolver
belonging to his assailant.
The car had made Its iaat trip to the west
ern terminus and had started on Iti return
to the barn. There was io one lei the car
but Mr. Mlchelson , who officiates on the stub
as both conductor and motorman , When the
car reached Thirtieth and Ohlo > streets two
young colored men swung on the rear plat
form without attracting the attention of the
conductor , who was busy manipulating the
rurrccit. He did not see1 them until a noise
at hU elbow attracted Ills attention and he
turned to find the men at the door , one
hold'ng a revolver at III. ] head. The con
ductor was told to throw up his hands , which
he did at once.
The other robber then toll Qllchelson to
turn off the current and stop the car. To
do this , however , gave the conductor an
opportunity to lower his hands and ho sud
denly seized the revolver which threatened
him and wrenched It from Its owner's hands.
At the same time ho drew hU own weapon
and was bringing it to bear when the ban-
dlts saw that they were worstel and Jumped
from the car , followed by a ehpt. The con
ductor brought the' captured gun to the
car barn , together with his day's receipts ,
amounting to a considerable sum. IHu says
the robbers were hardly more than boys
and Judges them to be about twenty years
d. They wore no masks and the con-
uctor would be able to recognize them on

CHICAGO , March G. The Times-Herald
will say tomorrow : Dr. Edwin Klebs , pro
fessor of pathology and bacteriology in the
Post Graduate Medical school , has discov
ered the cause of yellow fever. As a re
sult of a series of experiments extending
over two months he has Isolated the amoeba ,
which is without doubt responsible for the
disease , and ho has been able to trade ita
developments through a number of stages
In various organs of the body. Prof. Klebs
made his experiments on the stomach , duo
denum and liver of two patients who had
died of the fever In Mobile. The material
was sent him by Dr. Herman Molier of that
city. The professor first sought for the
bacilli known as lamarellls and Sternebcrg's ,
but found no trace of them at all. Hethen
went to work on his own account and by thu
aid ot a special dye composed of fuchsin ,
methyleno blue and methyl green ho suc
ceeded in isolating tbo desired germs. The
germ Is not u bacillus , but an amoeba. It
causes Inflammation of the stomach when
swallowed and then In the duodenum It as
sumes a true sporuatlng form , appearing
here much like a blackberry. From there
It migrates to the liver , where It appears as
a largo structureless body about twlco the
size of the red blood corpuscle. Its effecl
is a rapid degeneration of the liver cellti
While Prof. Klebs la confident he lias ob
tained the yellow fever germ , he will nol
make any scientific claim In this direction
until ho has been able to obtain live germs
and make cultures and animal experiment !
