to Speak on Street Corner.
INSISTS LANGUAGE IS TOO INFLAMMATORY
Speaker Brians Some of His friends
Alon to Help Him, bat Chief
and the Police Continue
Obdarate.
Charles Pearson, the socialistic speaker,
accompanied by a number of men from
Omaha, attempted to deliver another ad
dress last night on the streets at the
corner of Main and Broadway, but waa
again stopped by Chief of Police Richmond.
Wednesday night when Pearson was
stopped by Chief Richmond on the ground
that his talk was too Inflammatory and
tending too strongly towards the anarch
istic, he threatened to come back with a
bodyguard from Omaha and talk whether
the police liked It or not. In anticipation
of a clash between Pearson and his fol
lowers and the police, a good alsed crowd
was on hand at the corner of Main street
and Broadway last night.
There waa no trouble, however, as Chief
Richmond and a number of officers were
present and Pearson and his friends were
Informed in plain language by the chief
that Pearson would not be permitted to
speak on the public streets of the city.
Someone In the crowd threatened to swear
out an Injunction against Chief Richmond
to restrain him from Interfering with the
meeting, but that waa not carried out.
After A short time, seeing that Chief Rich
mond and hia officers were Inflexible, Pear
aon and his friends returned across the
river.
Speaking of his action in preventing
Pearson from speaking on the public streets
Chief Richmond said last night: "No man,
no matter what political party be may
represent, can use the Inflammatory lan
guage that Pearson did on the public
streets last Wednesday night while I am
chief of police of this city. Pearson's talk
was more anarchistic than socialistic and
while I recognise the liberty of free speech
In thla country, I will not permit nor
countenance any talk, tending towards
anarchy, such as Pearson's plainly was."
Mr. Barrltt will enter upon hi new duties

Trouble ensued, at the poor farm directly
after the appointment of a matron by the

matron, but It waa hoped that when A
committee from the board took charge of
the place, that matter would be smoothed
over, but evidently were not.

Mrs. Nellie .Tames In bringing suit for
divorce yesterday in the dlBtrlct court
against Gerald Edward Jamea, alleges that
her husband when he married her had
another wife to whom he had been wedded
but ten days. The plaintiff waa married
to Clerald James in Iowa City on February

covered that Jamea had. been married on
January to to Miss Dalay Stafford at Glen
Ailyn, 111.
Jamea shortly after his marriage to the
plaintiff left her to visit, as It developed
later, hi first wife, and this led to the
dUcovery of the man's duplicity. The
young women exchanged confidences and

(From a Staff Correspondent)
DES MOINES, Aug. . (Special.) The
Iowa Bute Board of Control, pursuing A
line of Investigation Imposed upon it by
the last legislature as the hnsls of legis
lation regarding state aid for consumptives,
has gone far enough to show that It Is not
necessary to go outside the state of Iowa
for establishment of a sanitarium for con
sumptives, nor to seek an especially high
altitude, nor to go to Any great expense
for buddings and fitting. An Inquiry was
made among a large number of the most
eminent physicians of the country, and
from these Judge L. G. Klnne of the com
mission, who has been assigned the spe
cial task of looking after this matter, has
made a compilation of views. It appears
from this that physicians do not place
as much Importance on sltltude as for
merly. While all refer to altitude as neces
sary, It Is generally only for the purpoee,
of securing a dry Atmosphere And free
dom from miasma. Some of the most suc
cessful of the sanitariums sre located In
comparatively low altitudes. In regard to
establishment of a state sanitarium within
the borders of Iowa the advice Is given
that it would be far better than to go out
side of the state and send patlenta to
distant places "where conditions might be
Adverse.
Second Camp of Guard.
The orders were Issued today for the sec
ond encampment of the national shards of
Iowa to be held on the new state camp
grounds which Adjoins the government
land at Fort. Des Moines. This will be of
the Fifty-fifth And Fifty-third regiments,
the latter In the northeast part' of the state
And the former in the southwest part of
the state. The camp will be In command
of Adjutant General Byers.
Withheld th Letters.
Postofflce authorities here Announce that
the resignation of Postmaster C. C. Pugh
'At Adel last week was on request. And that
he would have been removed If he had not
resigned. Inspeolor Stuart Is reported to
havs secured At the postoffloe tome sixty
or more letters that had been mailed by
residents of Adel which had not been for
warded to their destination. An affidavit
to the effect that the letters were being
held up caused the Inspector to be gent
there and the bondsmen demanded to he
released from their bond. His account
were found to be all correct. There will
be no attempt at prosecution, as It was
generally believed th trouble was due to
illness and enforced absence from the
office a large part of the time.

I
NEW YORK, Aug. 0.-Deplte frequent
labor troubles this city Is surpassing sll
records In the activity In the buljdlng In
dustry. Reports from official sources Of
twenty-six large American munlolrallties.
Just received, show that last month per
mits for buildings aggregating ISS.OW.251 In
value were Issued, and that of this amount
1B,4S9,61S represents structures to be erected
In New Tork City. Two-thirds rf these
HR.OnO.OOO are for buildings In Manhattan
nd the Bronx and the rest for those In
Brooklyn. In Brooklyn the incress is con
sidered by experts .to be phenomenal, for
In July, 190S. the records show that permits
were Issued in that section for buildings
costing only $2,144,010.
"All this activity In New York City,"
said Lewis Harding of the Building Trades
Employera association, to your correspon
dent, "shows that there has been sn enor-
mouse Increase In home building in the
boroughs of the Bronx and Brooklyn, and
that ther has been as much going on In
Manhattan in the wectlon of larg com-
merclal buildings and hotels. The erection
of the smaller class of dwellings Is due to
the heavy demands for Incresaed rents
made by landlords on Manhattan Island.
The people have 'begun to find that they
can buy or rent houses In the outlying dls-
irieta for nractlcally the same amount
which they pay for flats and tenements.
The tenement house law has been holding
back the building of fiats for the last two
yeara. and now that It has been slijhtly
modified there will be an opportunity for
the building of that class of structures to
be resumed."

POWERS GUARDIAN OF CANAL
French Paper Comments oa Posttloa
Annonnoed ky British
Premier.
PARIS, Aug. 20. (Special Cablegram to
Th JBee.) With reference to Mr. Balfour's
reply to Gibson Bowles on the free
dom of navigation In the Sues canal, 'the
Petit Parlsien says in a leading article:
"In our opinion ships belonging to belllg
ere it powers that chance to meet In th
canil should not only, abstain from hostili
ties, but also be the object of th twenty
four hours' regulation that is tp say, not
be allowed to go to sea again save at a
twenty-four hours' Interval, if they are go
ing In th same direction.
"The most Important thing In Mr. Bal
four's declaration Is the admission that the
British occupation of Egpyt has not altered
th character of th work undertaken and
accomplished by France. The canal re
maps subject to an International regime.
No single power can modify this funda
mental pact, the maintenance of which
has been confided to Egypt, as being the
guardian of the rights of alt the powers.
This Is a point that does not admit of dis
cussion nor any difference of interpreta
tion. The Hague trlbunaj cannot be con
sulted on the subject. The Sues canal is
the comomn highway of th nations, opened
by Franoa, whose aim was to benefit all
peoples. This England recognises, as tt
was oouna to ao. it Is a matter for self
congratulation, but not for surprise."
EMPRESS HELPS MISSION
Subscribes Toward Fand for th Es
tablishment of a Medical
Sohool.
PEKING, Aug. 20. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) For the first time since she was
responsible for the government of Ciiina
the dowager empress has publicly recog
nised the medloal work of the Protestant
missions. Recently the London mission,
the American board of missions and the
American Presbyterian mission agreed to
found Jointly a college where modem med
icine and surgery could be taugtit to med.
ca missionaries of these three bodies. In
accordance with the scheme a medical col
lege, called after the first missionary In
Peking, the Lockhart Medical college. Is
now under construction, the entire , cost
of the building and equipment being under
taken by the London mission Alone. Stu
dents will undergo a five years' training
and at the end of the course a diploma
will be granted.
Th training will be regardless of creed.
but the bulk of th student will at first
naturally be Christians. The cost is esti
mated at 10,900. Towards this the dow-
sger empress has contributed, through th
British minister, 10,000 taela, or 1,4W, an
unexpected. recognition of missionary werk
that, does her honor. Sir Ernest Satow
himself haa given 1,000 taels, or 140. Sub
scriptions sre now being sought from high
Chinese officials who ar expected to follow
the example of the empress In assisting a
scheme which Is equally humane and
btneflcent.
