n ASH LILLE, Tenn, Oct. 1.-the most
IN erestlng meeting of the American HUI
name Association proved to be the one
held this afternoon. Papers of great in
terest were read by E. Z. Barthell of n ms h.
vile, by d.. Dalrymple of Baton Rouge,
and by the Rev. Mr.. Lord of st. Paul.
The paper that stirred the convention
most deeply was one by DIR. Albert Lei
ingweli of Aurora, N. Y, upon "Sclenti-
nc Assassination" II dealt with Dr..
Sanarelli's incubation OF healthy human
beings for the germ culture of yellow
fever. 1t is understood that some, if not
all, OF the unsuspecting victims died with
all the symptoms accompanying the
dread disease.
The following resolution was presented
and adopted:
WHEREAS. 1t has been currently reported in
PUBIC journals that distinguished South
American physician engs ged in scientific re-
searches, after visecting large number of
higher animals, has not hesitated to inoculate
patients confined in public institution with
the germ poison OF yellow fever, causing them
10 suHer all the agonies of that dread disease
ana terminating in death; and whereas, these
atroclous experiments, SO far from exciting in
this country universal condemnation and
abnorrence' have been declared to be scien-
uhcally useful and therefore perhaps q "par-
uonable crime" therefore
Resotued, That, assuming the facts to be cor
rectly reported the American Humane Asso-
citation, In convention assem- bled at Nash
vile, Tenn, hereby would record in the strong
est manner possible its utter deteslation and
condemnation of such scientific trifing with
human lie. 1t does not believe that any pos
slble utility to science can diminish the guilt
OF murders ike these, or that the secret poIs-
onlng oil human beings should in the least de-
gree be condoned because the victims were
irlendless and poor. 1t views with horror
and amazement the assertion that scientific
made in certain public institutions in this
country, and therefore calls upon the scien-
thc ana medical societies OF the United
States 10 join with the American Humane As
sociation in condemning the subjection of
human be1ngs-patients in asylums hospi tails
or other public 1nstituiions-to any form of

SPOKANE, WASH, Oct. 14-For long
time past there have been differences be-
tween Very Rev. Dan Richmond Ba bbitt,
d. D., Ii D., Dean of Ali Saints Cathe-
dral of the Episcopal church, and :he
chapter, or v9stry, of the congregation .
1t was alleged that he was contracting
debts in the city which he failed TO pay,
and, in other words, promising The
church. As a result, and for the purpos
of deposing him. the chapter some weeks
ago passed a resolution that it was un-
able 20 pay the dean the salary for which
he was preaching and declaring the office
vacant. The dean stood upon his contract
and refused 10 quit.
On the return OF Bishop Lemuel H..
Wells from the Lam beth Conference in
England the case was referred to him.
Last night there was a chapter meeting
with the Bishop and dean, at which tirle
the Bishop presented his findings. requir-
ing that the dean vacate by Friday at
noon and that the chapter pay o him as
a gratuity Of $500. The dean declared that
he would not vacate. The meeting broke
up.
Dean Babbitt left the Guiding, putting
Rev. John Manning, his curate, in posses
sion. Atabout midnight r. l.. Rutter, a
prominent banker; George S. Brooke,
president OF the Fidelity Bank; R. NJ.
Russell. and W. D. Vincent, cashier of the
old National Bank, all inem b-rs of the
chapter, returned with locksmiths and
proceeded 10 nut new locks on the doors.
They tore IF the door of the study, in
which Manning was intrenched in the
belfry, and ordered him out. He refus
10 go. Thereupon they seized him.

which he was emitting, and proceeded TO

Wounding several of the vestrymen. Hall
way down, by reason of his struggles, the
entire crowd fell to the foot of the stairs,
Manning beneath. He was badly bruised
at was first blood for the vestry," said
he In describing the occurrence.
Getting him out, the ve>try assumed
possession OF the building. Manning says
he will have all the vestry arrested to-
morrow, and if he cannot get justice at
the courts he will call upon the vestry-
men sin sly and get it himself. The dean
will possibly try 10 preach on Sunday,

SALT LAKE, UTAH Oct. 14.-'Mr. and
Mrs. Swimmer on, San Francisco" ap-
peared on the register of the Knutsford, in
this city, on Tuesday last, and the same
evening the couple took the eastbound
BIO Grande Western train.
There was belief for few hours here
that the couple had been married at Salt
Lake, which in the times gone by has been
sort of Mecca for San Francisco lovers
who had not acquired the goodwill OF the
2apss and mammas.
Tn ere is, however, no record of a mar
riage license having been issued at this
point. and Swinnerton himself is said to
have told inquiring friends that he had
married Miss Thai Tread well, one Of the
heirs of the great Treadweil estate. some
months ago, but for various reasons hal
decided to keep The matter secret How
ever, the bride finally overcame his OBJ
lcciions 10 public ty. She was tired, she
said. of The long hours hubby mad to put
in at the newspaper office and wanted him
to herself. so she read the domestic riot
act 10 James. and told him that she pro-
posed to don the bloomers for at least a
brief period.
She had wealth enough and to spare,
and why need ne toll? She wanted to
travel, to see the sights OF the world, and
10 put in few weeks, months or years at
her ancestral home in England.
So lar as could be learned the couple
will make short stops at Chicago and New
York before venturing across the Atlantic,
and 1t ls understood that some of Swim
nerton's work will be seen in a New York
newspaper ere he goes abroad.
notwithstanding the groom's assertion
that he was married some months ago,
there is general Impression here that the
hurried departure from the coast means
an eIopement pure and simpe. A mar
rage License issued in California would be
Invalid in Utah, and about the only place
where a Utah marriage license could have
eeen secured besides Salt Lake would have
been at Ogden

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. 1.-THE
Supreme Court to-day reversed the judg-
ment OF the lower court in the case of the
Union Transportation Company vs. the
State HaI Dor ommissioneTs, appellants,
and remanded the case for new trial.
The transportation company was en-
gagged in running q Steamboat between
San Francisco and Stockton. The Harbor
Commissioners changed their landing
place from the Clay-street wharf to the
Mission-street wharf, which the transpor-
taIion company claimed was arbitrary and
detriment to its business.
1t was also charged that the change wa
brought about by the use Of money. The
Superior Court sustained the plaintiff
holding that there was no legitimate eau se
for the reassignm Mt of The vessel in ques-
ton.
The Supreme Court holds that the Har-
Dor Commissioners are We ted with certain
power TO regulate the staiioning Of ves-
sells and that these powers are discretion
ary. The commission, then, did not ex-
ceed its authority. AS to the charge of
fraud, the evidence is held to be INSULT
clent to esta blish the contention.

G. Milton Harris. a pioneer gold-miner,
was arrested last night for alleged incen-
diarism. He was charged with having
fired the 20-stamp mill and hoisting works
of the Moser and Roanoke mines. They
were burned to the ground on Sunday
af ernoon. $25, 900 worth of machinery and
Is, 600 feet OF lumber, besides great guam
tity of logs and other accessories, being
destroyed.
The Moser and Roanoke mines were
discovered in 1891 by S. S. Moser, and
were bonded TO the Stockton capitalists,
West and Sperry. AS far as developed
they have proved very rich. There is 1900
feet OF pay chute, some of the rock going
as high as 500, 900 to the ton and other
quantities of ore yielding $4,000 a ton, The
mine was discovered by drifting a tunnel
through the lin OF gravel channel in
expectation of making placer mine.
The Moser has been worked steadily up to
SIX weeks ago, when the mill was closed
and only a small force of men was en-
pioyed sinking in the Roanoke shaft.
Z. Milton Harris is Il brother of w. T i.
Harris, the general superintendent of this
and the Foote and Thompson mine, and
the news OF his arrest has created pro-

he was employed as watchman for the

Unsuccessful Test Of

Machine.
Mounts to a Dizzy Height. but
Breaks Its Frame in

However the Inventor Is Confident
of Gaining Good Results with
His Aerodrome.
Special Dispatch to THE CALL

CHICAGO, ILL., Oct 14.-William Paul
made test OF his new aerodrome to-day.
The new style of flying machine was sent
up laden with ballast and mounted to
height of approximately 400 feet. There
it careened and lodged in shifting cross
currents, and then dived like kite with
an inadequate tail, and landed in the sand
with it's membranes torn and its skeleton
broken.
Paul explained later that the fault was
not in the machine; it was IN the poor
adjustment of the bride" All last
Paul was at the Octave Chanutes expeNx1
mental station in the sand dunes of lndi-
ana 1t was he who took the first and last
trip in the great bird like contrivance from
which SO much was expected, but which
was wrecked uron its first trip.
The present device is constructed on
much the same lines as its predecessor.
Two air tunnels, in the shape of lriaugu-
lar prlsms. nine feet long and three feet
wide on each side support and direct the
craft. Between them is a space two feet
wide. Above this main frame work are
two aeropanes each FIVE feet vide - the
lower sixteen feet and the upper ten feet
long. The operator sits on rolling seat.
and by moving forward or back from the
center tits the aeropiones for ascent or
descent.
The total weight of the machine is thirty
pounds 1t is hoisted like huge kite,
and rises directly in the face of the wind,
being held by heavy piano-wire. When
the proper elevation is reached the wire
is shipped from its fastenings on the ma
chine by the operator and the descent is
begun.
By series of gentle undulations the
aerodrome reaches he ground, constant
gradient of about ten feet of advance for
one of fall being maintained. The ma
chine has been sent up with ballast as hign
1000 feet. and Paul himself has risen
400 feet from the surface in it. A larger
machine has been constructed on the same
principles as the one which broke down
to-day and series of more am bilious eX-
periments has been planned.

Russia Takes the Most
Advanced Position
of All.
Would Increase the Zone Be-

Mile Limit.
Herds Are Guarded With Great
Care and Regulations RIgIdly
Enforced.
Special Dispatch to THE CALL

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. AL
though formal conferences on the Bering
Sea question will not open until after the
arrival OF the Japanese delegates. vet the
presence here of two of the Russian dele
gates has permitted tbs authorities to
inform themselves quite thoroughly as to
the attitude of Russia on the protection OF
the seals. 1t has brought out the fact that
Russia takes an advanced position in pre-
serving herds and has more stringent laws
and regulations in that direction than any
of the other countries in terested.
By the Russian system a zone of thirty
miles is established around the seal islands
belonging to the empire. The seals found
within this zone are regarded as excIu-
sively Russian, and no one other than the
inhabitants of the islands can take seal
within these limits. This gives the Russian
citizens exclusive rights over the seals,
not only on the islands. but extending
thirty miles seaward. A British or
Japanese sealer cannot operate within the
zone except to buy skins Of the Russian
inhabitants of the islands. The Russians
them selves are permitted to Kill only
bachelor seals, it being against strict regu-
lations to kill females or pup seals. The
females are guarded with special care, a s
killing one female is regarded as equiya-
lent to killing three seals namely, the
female herself, her pup on land and her
unborn pup.
The Russians see that these regulations
are enforced. A feet of Government ships
patrol the thirty-mile zone. and any
foreign. sealer who attempts TO operate
within these limits be seized. As a rule
these Sc Zed sealers are taken to VIadiyo-
stock, their catch con6scated and punish
ment Inflicted. This has led to many
protests, but Russia has maintained
| thus far her rigid regulations against for-
eieners within the thirty-mile zone, In
! one notab case the ship Dahlia. cleared
| by United States consular officer, but
| manned with Japanese crew, attemp pied
| to take seals Oh the Russian islands.
They were met with armed resistance
i and several of the japanese wer, killed.
Claims for indemnify were made against
| Russia, but never raid, as the imperial
| authorities maintained their right to pro-
| tect their properly az ainst invasion.
| 1t is unders ood TO be the wish of Rus
| sia i'll the forthcoming conference not to
! stop at the protective regulations already
made, but to carry them further by in
| creasing the width OF the zone consiier-
ably beyond thirty miles. The Russian
authorities have found by experience that
many of the female seals go more than
thirty miles TO sea in search of iood. The
| wish is TO make the zone so wide that 1t
| will extend TO the furthest point to which
the females go for food.
