STRIKE is SPREADING.
Efforts to Settle Trouble of Dock
LabOrers Unsuccessful.

lADOTeFS tHSuCceSSlul.
Hamburg, Dec. 1.-There has been little
If any, change in the strike situation here
today. The proposal made yesterday
by herren HacnnIann. CHIEF OF police. Hin
richsen. president of the municipal coun-
Gil. and Noack. chairman of the trades
court, for the formation of court Of
arbitration to settle the dispute. was
submitted To the Union Of Shipowner>. who
referred IL to the Joint Association of
Trades.
The original proposition was that the
court should be made up of Herrcn Hach-
mann. Hinrichsen. and Noack, one shiI-
owner, and four delegates from the work
men. Ii is apparent that the shipowners
fear to trust their interests to a court
of which only one of their number would
be member, especially in view of the
fact that acceptance of the PROPOSAL car
ried with it an agreement that the de-
cision OF the court would be binding.
The strikers here are receiving messages
of sympathy from various places. but thus
far they have had very little material
aid from outside organizations.
There are now about 15 600 ST rlkers and
it has been found necessary for their unions
to extend aid to number OF them The
distribution of strike pay began today. and
nearly 1000 men We're the recipients OF
money from their organizations.

EDGED BY FELLOW STUDENTS.
Brother of United States Senator
Cannon Roughly Treated.

Philadelphia, Dec. 1.-William Tenney
Cannon, student at the jefferson Med
ical College, and brother OF United States
Senator Cannon of Utah, was egged today
by his fellow students.
Cannon's misahventure arose over the
resentment OF the students against a re-
cent order OF the faculty, to which Cannon
submitted. The faculty ordered that on
and after today al! students would be re-
quircd to show receipts for their tuition
Tees Before entering a lecture Room. The
students took exception to this order and
determined TO show their resentment by
remaining away from lectures.
When DIR. Henry c. Chapman entered
his class room today to lecture on physi
Oiogy Cannon was the only student on the
benches before him. The other students
were collected outside the door. They
held an inipronptu indignation meeting and
committee departed and returned to the
building with some purchased eggs.
When Cannon issued from the classroom
at the end OF the lecture he was greeted
with howl of Indignation and shower
OF eggs. The eggs plentifully bespattered
cannon, and he fled under a fusilade Of
the same missiles. DR.. E. E. Montgomery
professor of clinical gynecology, attempted
TO protect Cannon and he was the target
for three or four eggs.

PURPOSE and LIMIT
OF THE So Rate
Its Absolute Conclusion with the Closing Month Of the Year.
Dr. Mccoy Takes Unusual Pains to Prevent Misunder-
standing and to Avoid Criticism on the Ground of Par
taIiy After JanuayI

With this closing month OF the year ends,
according To the announcement, this re-
markable opportunity. 1t is reasonable
to suppose that by this time the terms
under which this opportunity is to be Sc
cured and enjoyed have been made clear
to all. The greatest pains have been taken
to guard against the possibility OF misun-
derstandns Not only has the wording
been clear and explicit as to the duration
of the opportunity, but the clear and ex-
pct wording has been given the empha-
Sis OF rapid published repetition to make
misunderstanding or confusion impossible.
The purpose OF the So rate has bcenmade
clear. II was adopted because DR. McCoy
found that many who had visited his Of
rices felt that they could not afford the
money necessary for the treatment; that
many also had been kept away because Of
'he general knowledge that DIR. MeCoy's
fees are high, necessarily made So by the
great demands upon his time and skill. 1t
had been DIR. McCoy's intention, in estab-
iishing permanent national practice in
Washington, TO give everybody an oppor-
tunity to obtain the benefits Of his treat
ment, which had thrilled tie country by
Its triumph over deafness and other deeI-
seated affections of the ear, the throat,
the lungs, the bronchial tubes, by its won
derful triumph over some OF Those scDnrges
OF humanity falsely called incurabIc mai
adies- While lie could not reduce his fees
would not do so. in factor a specified
time lie abolished his fees altogether, giving
his services free and charging only for the
medicines used, making the uniform rate
or So a month to all.
1t then Lecamc absolutely Impossible to
care for the TIL Onging crowd OF people who
sought to take advantage of the opportunity
within the time limit set. DIR. Mccoy,
therefore, frankly extended the rate, max
ing the extension a generous and ample
one, covering the last two months of the
year.
With this extension there has been re-
peated emphasis given to the limit. DR.
Mccoy desires o avoid criticism after the
ist of January, and those patients who
come after that date and pay $40 a Month
Will have no ground for complaint that
they have not been abundantly Iotificd
that the OPT ortunity of the So rate is
solely Iimi:ed to those beginning treat
ment before January 1.
This is the offer:
All patients beginning or renew
ing treatment before January l Will
he treated until cured at the uni
| form rate of 50 a month. This in
cludeS all medicines and treatment.
This Is absolutely the final oppor-
tunity under this rate. 1t will under
no circu umstances he again extended
| or continued. After January l Doc
tor Mccoy Will resume his usual
! fees.

out slch punishment to the sailor as the
latter has never before received, and as
for stopping Sharkey's rushes, these hur-
ricane rushers are the easiest kind of
game,'' is his reply.
SHARKEY WORKS HIS JAW.
Sharkey is waggng his jaw in true pro-
fessional style and says that he will not
only humble the Cornshman, but will do
the Trick in less than ten rounds. The
Mariner is in superb condition and his
trainers assert that blow on the chin

The friends of the sailor reason that
inasmuch as he .has been able to take the
