'Conenmptlon, Its Cure and Prevention,"
was the subject of in Interesting and In
structive lector delivered by Dr. J. 8.
Oocts Sunday evening 'at Crounae hall, be
fore the Jewish Radical National club.
Touching uposv.th extant, nature and Im
portance of the "white plague," Dr. Goet
aald: '
"The greatest plague o( alj ages haa been
the dlaeaae, tuberculosis,' more especially
Its manifestation In the form of consump
tion. Rome idea of its ravages may be
had when t tell you that In this country
alcne about 2H& people die annually
from It about W day. .
"We have with us all tHe time In this
country a minion and a quarter of people
affected. It Is strange how apathetic peo
ple and governments .have been " to the
spread of this dread dlaeaae. Should an
outbreak, of yellow fever or smallpox occur,
the country -would be' thrown Immediately
Into a state of panic, buaJneia would be
topped, and the greatest precaution taken
to prevent1 the spread of the disease. Here
we have a disease Infinitely more serious
with us all the time, destroying an Immense
number of lives, and comparatively little
notice taken of. It.
"The reason for this apathy . Is not jfar
to seek. 'Tuberculosis develops Slowly, pro
gresses Instduoualy and kills ttt victims
gently. There are no dramatic features In
Its spread, so people do not fear It as they
would an outbreak of a more acute epi
demic. The disease extends all over the
world, fallowing civilisation moatly. At
least 60 per cent of all human beings have
tuberculosis some time or other. Twenty
five per cent recover without knowing they
ever had H. The other 25 per cent 'suffer
and many die from It. '
It la at Germ Disease,
"The nature of tne disease la an Infection
that Is dut to a certain germ discovered by
Koch. Jn 1881, since which time we have
learned a great deal about It, both as to
Its symptoms and- course, Its curability and
prevention. Its importance to ua and to
the welfare of our country Is obvious.
Therefore, 411 possible methods are now be
lngt taken to prevent Its- spread, and. If
possible, to stamp 1 out altogether. It
Is not too much to say that If our present
methods and activity In this line are kept
up the next decade will 'show a large de
crease In the death' rate and the next hun
dred years will make it as rare and as
feared as leprosy Is at the present time."
Mentioning the, recent tuberculosis con
gress In Omaha, and going on to a dls
cusalon of how the prevention and cure of
the disease, is attempted. Dr. Ooets con
tinued: , , . .
' . Feesl BhsaM Knew.
"There is only one way . In which to pre
vent the disease, and that is to educate
the people as td Its nature so they will be
able to assist us in our fight.
"In th) first place, people must be taught
that fresh air and sunlight are essential
to life and Inimical to the1 growth of germ
life In the body. They must be taught that
ventilation and ' cleanliness gr Important
for the proper car ojf pur bodies and must
learn of the 4n3r,',Vof association with
tubercular Individual,' Especially j. tnU
true In Its relations to our public schools,
churches and home life, and to all gather
ings In public places. ...--. . -
"It la obvious that to rid the country of
Vie disease, the source of Infection must
be removed. We must get rid of the or
ganism that causes It. This will be pos
sible only In one way and that Is by teach
ing the people the Importance of retting rid
of all tubercular material and by teaching
them to take better care of their bodlea,
ao that should the organism gain entrance
Into the system the tissues will have suf
ficient vitality to withstand the attack and
get rid of the polaon before it gains a
foothold.
"For this purpose. International, national,
state-wide and municipal societies are be
ing formed to discuss, waya and means of
accomplishing this object and to teach
communities tha extent of the plague and
the danger of allowing the disease to go on
unchecked.
"In the course at time, with proper edu
cation, the people will perhaps induce the
government to tske a hand In the preven
tion of the disease, as they have done with
yellow fever and outbreaks of cholera. Per
haps in tha future the governments will in
sist on tha registration of all tubercular
cases and on quarantine and segregation In
ssnltorla and hospitals." -

GERMANS ARE CLOSEMQUTHED
Deelln te Famish Unite States with
Ft a;a res af Coat of Mannfae
torlag Goods,
BERLIN, Nov. 5. Amerlcsn consuls- In
Germany are having slight success In ob
taining replies from German manufacturers
respecting the cost of production of their
wares, how wsges .8 re distributed, etc as
all'or nearly all have quietly combined to
leslst the Inquiries which the consuls were
ordored to make for use by the house wsys
and means committee in revising the tariff.
Under the North German-American agree
ment. Chambers of Commerce In Germany
may bo referred to for authoritative valua
tions and several of the consuls In Prus
sia, sought to Invoke this claun In their
efforts to obtain the Information sought
for, but In each Instance the chambers re
ferred the questions to the minister of
commerce, who replied that the data could
be given only through the Fore Urn office.
As a consequence a formal request to the
State department on the subject 'has been
brought to the attention of Secretary Root
and remain under consideration at Wash
ington, where doubt seemingly exists
whether It Is suitable that such an In
quiry should be made. ,
The usual argument by tho consuls Is
that the United States desires to equalise
tho tariff by taking the costs of 'produc
tion In America and Germany and basing
revision strictly upon the difference, end
they affirm that It is to the Interest of
German manufacturers that they submit
the producing cost of every article ex
ported to the United States and thus avoid
the chance of congress pushing . up the
tariff to an unreasonable level.'
The Germans ordinarily reply that the
manufacturers of tin country can be ex
pected to supply a competitor with Infor
mation about his business and that to
do So would expose tho exporter .to two
dangers that of h.'s own statements being
used sgalnat him In America valuation
disputes and that of the schedules being
arranged against tho German exporter be
cause he may have been more, truthful
than other European or American com
petitors. The German official view seems
to be that the Amorlcan congress J re
vising tho tariff solely in tha Interests o'f
Its own people, while the affair Is regarded
as a trap Intended to work to the disad
vantage of the German exporter.
ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 29.-The American-Japanese
agreement, which brings the
United States Into the circle of accords
concluded last year by Russia, Japan and
France, assures, according to the opinion

The approval of the Russian government
was assured In advance of the publication
of the agreement.

dor, acting on instructions from Washing
ton, communicated the details of the agree
ment to M. Iswolsky, the foreign minister,
on November 25, and received formal assur
ances that Ruaala was U full sympathy

f RUST TO HANDLE THE PAP
Board of Control Pane on Tie
Handed to Omahani.
SIX JIMS AND FOUR JACKS
Balaaee of Power, However, Rests
with' the Latter, Despite the Fact
that They Are Slightly
Ontaainbere.
Six Jims and four Jacks control the ap
pointment of Omaha men to state positions.
This has jusi been discovered, but it has
been nscertslmd from prominent men In
the two clubs that tho discovery is abso
lutely correct, and further, that If a candi
date has not the signatures of either the
six Jims or the four Jacks his candidacy
will not be considered by Governor-Elect
Shaller.be rgcr.
And while the Jlrrs have two more men
cn the board of control than have the
Jacks, and nlso while the Jims number
their membership by hundreds as against
a numbering by units In thu Jack club,
the Jacks are more powerful with the new
governor end can secure more favcrs than
the Jims.
This is because Mr. Shallenberger Is a
Jack, because he was a former vice presi
dent of that corporate body, and because
he has no love for Mayor Dahlman. the
Idol of tho Jims. For It must be remem
bered that the mayor seriously objected to
the gubernattoral nofhtnatlon being given
to Mr. ShalTenberger and to keep him from
securing It he denounced the new governor
as a tool, trimmer, four-flusher and sev
eral other things.
Naturally, Mr. Shallenberger does not
entertain exceedingly warm friendship
for Mr. Dahlman, and, naturally, Mr.
Shallenberger does not jump to appoint
men whom Mr. Dahlman recommends.
However, Mr. Dahlman is member of
the designating committee, th other mem
ber of which are Thomas J. Flynn, street
commissioner and county chairman; Lee
Bridges, councilman and treasurer of the
county committee, and the three local
member of the state committee. Colonel
Charles E. Fanning, George Rogers and
George Parka, the latter of South Omaha.
How (he Board Lines Tp.
The Jacks who are vested wlth this
power are Ed P. Smith, I-.ee Herdman, E.
Peter Berryman and Ed E. Howell.
So far the only local appointment of
any consequence announced Is that of
Davo Rowden as commandant of th
Sohtlers' home at Mllford. Dave, while
holding a position now by grace of the
Jims, Is a ; Jack, went to the Denver con
vention on' tho Jack train and spends his
noon hours In the Jack club rooms. A.
D. Fetterman, who was appointed a colo
nel, shines around both .th Jack and
Jim clubs. Charles E. Fanning, Jim, was
also appointed a colonel, but this was not
because he In a Jim, but for the simple
reason of thwarting his ambition to sit
on the excise board. Being breveted a
colonel he can not' now ask for appoint
ment on the Board of Fire and Police
Commissioners as well.
For some reason the Jims set their
minds on pulling down the oil inspector
plum and the chances are they will never
get It
Two days after the new governor was
elected, two member of their committee,
Fanning and Rogers, went to Lincoln
and, It Is asserted, Induced the governor
to agree to appoint no Jim unless he had
th endorsement of each of the six mem
bers of the controlling committee. Fur
ther, they Impressed upon the mind of
Ui .Incoming ichlef executive thai no
present officeholder should t- ap
pointed. ' :
Boona Tom O'Connor. .
They then returned home and "started
Tom' O'Connor In the race for the ap
pointment of -assistant oil Inspector for
th Second district. Fanning, Rogers,
Park and Mayor Jim signed their en
dorsement for him. Flynn balked for the
reason that O'Connor' appointment to
the second position would jeopardize Joe
Butler' chances for Hi chief position.
Fanning uid Rogers declared that But
ler should never have the plum, for he 1
now holding office. Bridges stood with
Butler, but had previously given his en
dorsement to -another man who wss ex
pected to retire, however. In this event
Bridges will sign for Butler, making two
for Butler as against four for O'Connor.
In the meantime Arthur Mullen of
O'Neill announces that the governor has
persistently urged him to accept th ap
pointment. This puts a new aspect on
th situation and Butler , acknowledges
that he has known all along that Mullen
could have the position if he wanted It.
The local candidate will not lay flown,
though, even should Mullen decide to
take the chief position, for If he does
then Butler will demand that he be ap
pointed assistant for the district, not
O'Connor.
Butler Is exceedingly wroth at Fanning
and Rogers for going back on lilm and I
says he made these two men pouuca.iy.
H denounced them at -the Jimocrat goat
banquet and oontlnuea to denounce them
now, but professes to know nothing of
th committee of six which controls th
appointment of local Jims to state posi
tion. It you suffer rrom constipation and liver

"Although ours Is a small country. It has

vided ior a riignt or three locks at uitun,
a flight Of two locks at La Boca, and one
at' Pedro Miguel. The locks at I -a Boca
were placed on the west side of Snsa hill
and were to overcome the difference of the
level between the ocean and a lake formed
by the Boaa-Coroaal and the Sosa-San
Juan dams. Steps were taken to construct
me lormer or these nams in accoraanco
with the proposed clan, and trestles were1
built along the toes frpm which to dump
material rrom cuiebra cut. The trestles
failed after the dumping from them organ
and the material overlying the rock moved
laterally, carrying the superimposed mass
with It. In places this lateral motion con
tinued for two weeks after the dumping
had stopped. The ground on either side
of and for some distance from the dump
was forced up, forming mounds of mud.
the crests of which gradually approached
the level of the diimn nrftrjer.
After an equilibrium was estab-
nsnea Dei ween the dump amr the ad
jacent mounds the hump or wave would
again move out when the track was shifted
toward It, accompanied by a sudden vertical
settling of tho track of slx'to ten feet when
loaded trains were applied. Dumping from
trestles of less height , secured no better
results.
Foundation for. Dam.
When -the difficulty developed. Investiga
tions by borings and test pits were made
to determine the character of material
overlvlng the rock. It was found to be,
for the greater part, an unctuous blue clay
without grit, possessing very little sup
porting power, instead of a stiff clay, rs
Indicated on the profiles. The depth of the
rock below varied from ten to seventy feet,
and In order to build the dsms more money
snd time -would be reaulred than had been
estimated.
When this became evident, a careful ex
amination of the canal rqute from Pedro
Miguel to the Pacific was undertaken, by
wash and diamond drill borings and test
pits, to ascertain If a more suitable place
for the locks and dams could be found,
in making these examinations care was
taken to secure samples of the materials
to be encountered at the various depths,
as well as core.1 of the rock for depths of
twenty-five feet below the foundation level
of the lock walla "
. A study of the data thu .obtained ledslo
he conclusion - thatv one lock at Pedro
Miguel and two atjjiraflores offered the
most economical aw desirable solution.
The advantages of efal plan over the then
existing project .were' that dams of lower
height, less length nd resting on rocks
comparatively near the surface could bo
more easily constructed and could be com
pleted at an earlier date; and finally that
the locks in this location would be pro
tected against all possibility of distant
bombardment and would be less exposed
to gunboat or torpedo boat attack. Aa a
consequence, the commission recommended
a change In the project, which received
the approval of the president on December

carry way th priie with the wheat
which will be sent, in the opinion of R. W.
Thatcher, director of the state agricultural
tatlon at Pullman, Wash., who has re
turned to Washington after having .been
In Omaha.
Director Thatcher has taken up the mat
ter of making an exhibit at the National
Corn exposition In a systematic way with
the wheat producers In the famous valleys
of Wsshlngton and expects to see the prod
ucts of that state win high place when
the wheat and oats are given the milling
test promised by th exposition manage
ment and said to be the fairest and only
test for these grain.
In tha matter of oats Washington and
some of the new oat sections of the west
are destined to carry away the money and
trophies. The authorities of one Iowa ex
periment station are responsible for the
statement that In that State a cereal mill
was closed for some lime last year be
came the oats were so poor In that soo
tlon that the miller could not use them.
The grain dealers of the west are espe
cially anxious to assist In correcting what
they believe to be a terrible condition in
the oats crop situation. Prominent mem
bers of tho Chicago Board of Trad hav
taken an Interest In the exposition at
Omaha because they have been wrestling
with the problem of whaf to do with oats
which weigh from elghtoeen to twenty-four
pounds to the bushel.
By the aide of she oat and eolpe of th
wheat grown In the older farming com
munities, Washington" vaftey will prob
ably get the big prises the prise and th

"MODERN" PRIEST SUSPENDED
Father M. R. Ilammereler of Chatham
-- Loses Place Beeaas of
Ills View.
LONDON, Nor. 29. (Specisl.)-ln
theological and Roman Cathollo church
circles a mild sensation hss been caused
by th suspension of another well-known
priest on the charge of "modernism."
This time It I Father W. R. Hammers
ley Chatham, and, curiously enough, the
action wa taken by the bishop of South
ward on whose petition Father Tyrrell,
late of th Society" of Jesus and now
on of th leader of th modernist move
ment, wa excommunicated a year ago.
The suspended priest was attached to
St. Michael's church and was the chap
lain of Borstal prison.
Th action of the bishop of Southwark
ha become known to th public by metn
of a circular letter which Father Ham
mersley haa addressed to hi friends ex
plaining the reason for his suspension.
He describes first an Interview with his
superior. In which the bishop Informed
him that h had been reported to have
expressed In conversation certain view
on theological matters by which he was
known as a modernist. The bishop de
clared his Intention of forwarding to the
offending priest a document drawn up
from the encyclical "Pascendl," and that
he must either signify hi adhesion or
suffer Suspension.
Instead, however, the bishop wrote re
moving Father Hammersley from the po
sition of assistant diocesan inspector and
calling upon him to appear to answer,
In the presence of witnesses, the accusa
tion made against him. The priest re
fused to appear on the grounds that no
on had tha right to question him as to
his personal - thoughts on certain theo
logical statements. Whereupon he as
suspended. Subsequently the following
list of questions waa sent to him with
the statement that he would be rein
stated If he could give a satisfactory
answer ta them:
"Faith and theology' are necessarily op
posed. "The bodily resurrection of Christ Is a
myth, founded In great part upon a vision
of St. Paul, which should not be taken
literally.
"Christ rose from th dead Jn th same
sense in which,, all te. saints have risen
from the dead. '
"A future-bodily resurrection Is not. to
be taken aa a reality.
"Even if Christ were not a historical
personage it would make no difference
to uor faith. "
"The idea of Christ a a divine man Is
old-fashioned.
"Infallibility rests in the eensus
fldellum alone.
"The Inspiration of the Bible is given
up.
"No or now believe In hell and the
devil."
Father Hammersley was asked whether
he had uatd these thing and If he be
lieved them. He replied that they were
mostly ridiculous perversion of ills
word. There th matter rests at the
present moment, but there la a possibil
ity of more being heard of the matter,
as many of th suspended priest' friends
ar dnslrou of appealing to the bishop's
superior. '

PORTLAND. Ore., Nov. .-Th Even
ing Telegram today : ''
If W. J. Chalmers, eastern receiver fori
A. Booth A Co., whose assets and liabili
ties run Into the millions, and the attor
neys for Chicago creditors should refuse t
recognise the prloV claims of Astoria fish
ermen In th employ' of subsidiary inn?"
cerns it Is probable that the situation will
resolve Itself Into a legal battle of national
note, with tho federal court of Oregon
pitted against the federal court of Illinois.
Judge Wolvorton of th federal court of
Oregon has Issued what practically amounts -to
an ultimatum that unless wages due the,
Astoria employe are paid out of, the 16,000
tied up In slate court proceedings by the
Glrard National bank bf rhlladotphla, and '
recently released by order of Federal Judge
Kohlsaat, the court wtU not recognise he
rights of Receiver Cliklmerw. Judg Wol-
verton appointed Fred Barker of, Astoria
receiver for the Oregon Interests of the
corporation. ' ' ' ' ' ' '.
A salient feature of th affair oa which v.
the federal court of Oregon relies In de- -mandtng
the payment of the 2f,000. due the
Astoria fishermen before recognising the -
rights of Receiver Chalmers, Is th allege
tion in the complaint that skilled laborers
ar employed In conducting fishing oper
ations and that unless tbey are paid they
will cease work. As their places cannot bo .
readily supplied, It lg alleged In the docu
ment the failure to pay them, would result

can reasonsbly be expected to- make a
profit of $500,000 annually. Tha petitioner
