The town OF Mesina De Rio Secc Is of

that taking advantage OF It's CO mpara-
lively isolated position the anarchists

the mail matter sent from there TO diff

10 whom most of this mail matter was
addressed were known 10 the police either
as declared anarchists or as suspected

THE PAN-AmERICAN POLICY.
Likely That the Bureau of American Re
pubIIcs is to be Abolished.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Dec S.-The
question Of the ultimate fate Of the
Bureau Of American Republics, almost
the last remaining vestige Of Mr.. Blaine's
Pan-American policy, is an interesting
one. Nothing can be learned at the State
Department respecting the policy OF the
administration toward the maintenance
of the bureau but lt Is inferred, In view
Of the omission from the departments
budget Of an estimate for its continuance
during the years 1915 that it is the
intention TO abandon the institution.
The First Controller has already decided
that the bureau Is not entitled TO charge
up the rental OF its building to the State
Department funds, inasmuch as II is not
legal bureau Of the State Department.
Two or three Of the less wealthy Of
the American republics have with
drawn their contributions for the joint
support Of the bureau. alleging simply
1. cial stringency as the reason Of ,neir
W..drawal and making no complaint as
to the management Of the bureau. Some
Of the wealthier republics continue To be
Well disposed toward the institution.
Senior MendOnca. the Brazilian minis
ter, speaking on the subject, said: Il
should De very glad, personally, 10 know
that the bureau was TO be continued. and
as long as 10 remains in existence Brazil
will contribute her portion Of the expense
OF maintaining il. The bureau has been
a great benefit 10 my country. never more
so than in the past few months, and
had in view some plans for execution by
the bureau officers intended 10 still fur
ther increase the trade between the United
states and Brazil. II the United States
fails to provide means Tor continuing its
work we. the representatives OF The other
nations interested. shall consider that a
notice that the country does not desire
its existence TO be prolonged. and. Of
course, we shall not undertake 10 keep 1t
alive"
Senior MendOnca. in response to a ques-
uon as to the origin Of the bureau. said Ii
grew out Of the Pan-American conference.
The executive committee Of the body"
he said. consisted OF Secretary Blaine,
the President. Minister Romero. OF Mexi-
co, and Minister SegariO. Of Peru, Cor
neilus ~ Bliss. Of the United States. and
myself. In the course Of our discussions
as to the best means Of making effective
ana permanent the recommendations OF
the conference, Mr. Bliss. 1 think II was,
suggested that the tarlff Of the several
nations be printed and published. Mr..
Romero, as / remember. then suggested
that the work be done by a central agency,
modelled after the one In Brussels, which
prints and publishes the tariffs OF the
whole world, and 10 which all the ma
uons contribute. From that, as start
Ing point, the scheme which finally com
prised the Bureau OF American Republics
was developed"

for young doctors from their States, who.
finding the road to fame in medicine hard
and toilsome and patients few. wish to
spend a portion OF their lives in the EN-
ploy Of the government. where salaries

As vacancies are few. pressure has been
brought on DR.. Wyman, the Surgeon
General, to secure the enforced removal
OF number OF the assistant surgeons
now In the service. many OF whom are
epublicans. DR.. Wyman. however. has
announced that he will not make any
removals for political reasons. stating
that he believes that this service, on which
the freedom Of the country from epidemic
invasion depends. should be free from poll
tics. He says he favors the retention
of surgeons in the service who become
more valuable with increasing experiences.
Where vacancies occur, however, from
resignation, death, or removal for cause.

IRIfI or DIR. MEIER.
The Famous Poisoner's Attempt TO swfnd
an Insurance Company.

NEW YORK, Dec. s.--The taking OF
testimony I'm the. case OF Or. Henry c.
f. Meyer. charged with the murder OF
Ludwig Brandt. by poisoning. was be
gun this morning in the Court OF oyer
and Terminer.
Carl Mueller was the first witness
called by the prosecution. Mueller said
that his right name was Carl Kirfei.
When he was a prisoner In Joliet prison
he met DR.. Meyer, the defendant. Brandt
and Baum. He also saw Mrs Meyer
when she came TO see her husband
Mr.. Brooke made n long argument
against the admission OF testimony from
the witness as to the conversations he
had with Meyer In the prison. The evil
dence was admitted.
Never told the witness that he had
scheme for making money In large sums
by defrauding insurance companies.
After he came out OF jail on the 2d
of June 1891 the witness again saw Mey-
er at 33l Center street. Chicago, where
Meyer was practicing medicine. lie
also saw Mrs Meyer there.
Meyer asked him II he was ready 10
90 into the scheme TO defraud Insurance
companies. and the witness told Meyer
that he was not He did not want 10
get into prison again. Meyer told bin
that he had been to see Baum In Joliet
prison His wife had gone with him
In prison Baum went under the name OF
Parker. Meyer said that Baum looked
sick
Mueller further testified that he had
met a girl named Lena Kaufman I'm
Lincoln Park, Chicago. Just what con
nection Lena Kaufman has with the
case may come out later.
The witness continuing. said that aiey-
er told him that Baum was arrested again
in Cincinnati and that he was very sick
He Meyer wanted TO get some one ~
impersonate Baum. and 10 get his life
insured. Then, when Baum died, they
would get the insurance money. Meyer
went to see Baum and later on he went
TO Germany 20 find out about Baum's
history. When Meyer returned he want
cd witness TO have his life Insured IN
Baum's name, but this the witness re-
fused TO do.
Some time after. Meyer told him that
he had had Brandts llfe insured. and
that the scheme was 10 nave Mrs. Meyer
pass as Brandts wife. Brandt was In
sured under the name Of Baum To full
ly carry out the deception, Mrs. Meyer
was married to Brandt. Brandt was IN
the scheme and understood that he was
10 he made to appear very sick. and thst
then he would be taken away and made
better, while a dead body would BE-
passed off as his corpse. Mueller and
Brandt, at the request OF Meyer came
to New York. bought furniture I'm ths
name OF Baum. and hired "a fat In east
Thirteenth street. Mueller received a
package marked antimony from Meyer.
TIRE latter told him II VAS TO be used
10 make Brandt sick.
The witness and Meyer went over "a

but they were not allowed In.
