key to Look Out.
VIENNA March 3o.-The speech from
the throne at the opening Of the Reichs-
rath to-day. expressed the hope that
the cooperation of the powers would
lead to a satisfactory solution of the
Cretan question, and proceeded:
"Greece's inconsiderate action has led
my government, in close contact and
with the full confidence of the other
powers, to adopt measures aiming
to maintain the status quo. If.
then, Greece, in the present
phase, can in no way count upon
the approval of the powers, on the
other hand Turkey must take into ac-
count that she would assume great re-
sponsibility if, binding herself to her
most vital interests, and contrary to
the unanimous advice of the powers
she refuses to remedy said abuses, and
thus maintains a situation concealing
the germ of constant anxiety"
LoNDoNS March pa long official
dispatch from the British admiral in
Cretan waters to the government con-
cludes: Colonel Vassos, the com
mander of the Greek army of occupa-
:tion in Crete, has practically declared
wal against the powers"

IERCENSORSHIP BILL

Congressman Ray Of New York and Hep-
burn OF iowa the AUTHORIZATIONS May
Have to Keep q Coroner on Their tan-
Novel Provisions.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The bill Of
Representative Ray of New York, to
prevent the multiplication of suicides,
proposes that no newspaper or So
called police gazette shall be transmit
ted through the mails of the United
States which contains any picture OF a
suicide or any details relating thereto
beyond the simple statement of death
by suicide, giving name, date and
place." He adds a proviso that further
particulars may be given by medical
journals in the interest of science;
and provides further that ANY judicial
officer of the town or county in which
the matter is being Investigated may
order such particulars relating thereto
to be published as shall serve the ends
of Justice This last proviso affords
a way out. Editors will have to keep
a coroner on their stats to order
further particulars containing pictures
of the tragedy published to serve the
ends of justice" or they may run a
medical column and print the particu-
lars and pictures therein .in the in
terest of science" Mr.. Ray gravely
provides that any person violating
the provisions of this act shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and
be punished by a fine of not less than
$25 or by imprisonment not exceeding
ninety days"

Jul THE L4TEs NJ
Governor stephens the Pro
posed Taxation OF Notes

posed axatio Of Notes
JEFFERSON Cry, Mo, March 3d.
The governor this afternoon gave out
his message vetoing the measure in
troduced and passed by the last assem-
bly, known as the Slate note and bond
assessment bill. He declares that the
records of the Senate and the bill
itself do not harmonic because the
bill has the emergency clause attached
and it was not passed by the Senate.
Its main features" the governor
American. The proposed operation
of this law would in the course
of time deface a note or bond
almost beyond any recognition. In
addition, the listing Of the mass of in
debtedness which is represented
by notes, bonds and mortgages would
be an impossible task for the
usually very anxious to keep their
credit affairs private and, if notes were
accurately described and placed upon
record, it would be made public prop
erty. AS for preventing property from
escaping taxation this bill will have
little effect, for those who intend to
avoid taxation will invent more GER
tain methods than they now have.
There has been a great cry for
years against paying interest to for
eign loan companies and on foreign
capital, and yet this law looks to me
as if it might be in the direct interest
of such companies, for it does not af-
feet them, but only local capital. The
capitalists holding q sufficient number
of notes will avoid the law by indoors
ing them to friends in other states
prior to June ], and will thus escape
taxation on all their property in this
form The measure would impose a
hardship on the country merchants all
over the state, because four-ffths are
compelled to transact business on the
credit basis. 1t exempts banks. 1t
would discourage investments and
drive capital away from the state.
cit is an assault upon the honor and
good name of the state. If the law
should go into effect and all notes by
law must be assessed at a hundred
cents on the dollar, all loans will be
called in and thousands of people now
thought to be wealthy will be driven
to ruin. Many who voted for the
bill did so under a misrepresentation
and are now a~pologizing for their
votes. The result Of such a law would
be,to food the courts with litigation,
encourage dishonesty and restrain the
free exchange Of NEGOTIABLE paper"

There is a national, almost a patri-
Otic," movement in Japan to induce. the
people to become eaters of meat. The
Japanese are intelligent imitators of
Europeans and Americans, and it
seems that many of them think be-
cause of it's general use by other ma
tions that there is promise of physical
and mental Improvement in the sub
%stituticn of flesh foods for rice and
other cereals. If a favorable result fol-
lows this change Of diet, the meat
eaters will be hilarious in proclaiming
it against the vegetarians.

marrying for money. A lawyer said,
admit that the man was after this
woman's money to better and elevate
his position in life. Is there anything
reprehensible in .that?" The justice
replied, 1T is infamous to marry a
woman simply for her money! So

"The crest of the flood wave is still
at Cairo, which shows a stationary
guage reading of 51.6 feet for the past
four days.
'There is great danger yet to come
from the flood in the region from
Helena southwark to New Orleans.
"The river will continue to rise for
at least ten days in the region from
Helena southwark to Vicksburg, and
to rise during a longer period from
V~icksburg southwark.
"1f no break occurs before, levees
will be subjected to the greatest strain
about April TO-. il Southeastern Arkan-
sas, Western Mississippi AID in Louis
lana. Should the levees break the
result will be one of the most disas-
trous floods ever known.

additional heavy rainfall in the middle
and lower Mississippi valleys, which
will materially intensity the flood con,
ditions.
"Those living in districts overfowed
in former years should be on the safe
side and transfer stock and movable
property to places of known safety
while there is yet time.
