Persistence OF Cholera Germs.

The fact that, of the real cases of chol..

only TWO or three can be directly traced

furnishes no ground for serious alarm;
il is probable that the germs deposited

been entirely eradicated, but since those
germs produced no dangerous outbreaks
during an interval of twelve years, IL
follows that their presence IS not ne
cessarily mel aclng OF an eplueulic now
On the contrary, the progress OF sam

The belief that the germs have been
living dormant in New York since IoJt,
or even as far back as 1919 or 49,,
is sustained By the almost yearly recur-
renee of eases. The number OF deaths
from cholera in 1882 was 3,Jl3. Two
wears later there were 97l deaths The
mortality statistics for 1879, lc4O, lof-i,
1915 and 1913 indicate the continued
presence aud persistence OF the germs.

city WAS entirely free from cholera, and,

reports no genuine instance OF the mala-
DIV in the interval of the succeeding nj

have occurred since the 9th instant sus-
gest the possibility that the germs may
have lain dormant for that period.
While these facts render tenaDle the
theory that Il thicEly settled community
which has once suffered severely from an
epidemic Of Asiatic cholera can never be
confident of having thoroughly exterIni-

and violent returns of it are extremely

Governor Barber requested the prose-

Omaha Is Not Big Enough for the Third
Party Convention.

EaIIy OOuvontiOn.
OMAHA, June 27.-The local enter
tainment committee which is looking
up accommodations for those who will
be the city's visitors during the third
party's national convention is at work
canvasslng for rooms. and now has
list showing accommodations for q lit
tie over 5000 people. This will. of
course, be largely increased during the
next few days but it will still be IN
sufficient unless the people, generally,
stir themselves. The lowest estimate
made as to the number of those from
outside who will be in the city during
the convention IL not less than 5000,
and as accommodations have been
secured for only one-third of that
number the question of what will tie
done with the balance is naturally
causing uneasiness among those who
are interested ia properly caring for
the visitors.
Chairman StrickIers says the Coli
scum building will be in readiness for
the guests by next Thursday evening.
People who attended the manufactur-
ers' exposition will hardly recognize
the Coliseum today. The arrangement
of the chairs is far superior TO any
thing that has heretofore been made in
the building. A platform, 100 feet
long and thirty feet wide, has been
built on the west side of the halt for
chairman, secretary, national commit
tee and the newspaper men. The con-
vention hall will have seating capa-
city of about 900. with ample space in
the alleys and passageways for 1000 or
5000 more in case of crush.

SHOT HIM I'm COURT
The Brother of an Outraged
Girl
KILLS THE GUILTY MONSTER
lust After He Pleads Guilty to the
Charge in q New York Court
Promptly Arrested

NEW York, June 27.--Max Clerget,
aged IS. who had just pleaded guilty
Of criminal assault upon Sarah Divin.
Was shot and killed in the general ses-
sions court this morning by the girls
brother, Edward Divin. The murderer
was promptly arrested. Sarah Dlv,n
was clerget's slster-in-law. The out
rage Was committed June Is At No. 544
East Fifteenth street. Clerget wac ar
rested on the same day. Judge Mar
tine was trying another case when
Clerget was brought TO the bar to plead
TO the indictment against him. The
prisoner pleaded guilty aud was
being led away when Divln
rushed forward and shot him dead. The
bullet entered the body at the nipple
on the left side and passed through the
heart. The negligee shirt worn by
Clerget WAS scorched and BACKED by
powder. Young Divin and his sister
are said TO be- mentally weak. The
affair caused great excitement among
those al attendance in the court. Judge
MARITIME ordered the doors closed and
personally directed the clearing out of
the court room. Later Divin was ar
raigned before Coroner: Schultz. He
gave his age as 25 and his resi-
dence as No. 447 East Sixteenth
street. To the coroner's question as 10
why he killed Clerget he made no re-
ply. He looked wild aud glared at
those in tho room as each question WAS
asked.
wild Panic In Court
When the shooting occurred there
was almost q pahic IN the crowded
court room. Several policemen forced
their way through the crowd and
threw themselves upon Divin, who,
however, made no resistance and in
fact could not have done so as he is a
cripple. When asked why ne had fired
the shot Divin pointed to the dying
man and said, "That fellow betrayed
my sister," This was all he would say
and he did not seem at all
excited. He kept his eyes on
his victim and seemed to take
satisfaction in watching his last strug-
giles. As he was being hurried away he
said to the officers: "Don't pull my
arms 80 hard, the handouts hurt"
During the excitement one of the iur-
ors in the arson case tainted. The as
sault upon Miss Divin Was made by
Clerget while the girl was alone caring
for the children of her sister, Clerget's
brothers wife. She told her sister when
she returned home and the police were
notified and subsequently arrested
Clerget and had him indicted.
