GODDARD MURDER TRIAL.

KansasCity, Mo-, Oct. 26-Dr. Jeffer-
son d. Goddard is now on trial here
for the murder of Frederick J. Jack
son, at the Woodland station in April
last. Mrs. Jackson had previously been
previously arrested for completely in
the crime but the subsequent grand
jury failed to indict her and she was
released. DIR. Goddard managed a
drug store owned by Mrs. Jackson,
who was proprietress of an extensive
laundry business. Jackson called on
his wife on the evening of the murder
at her private apartments to persuade
her from spending more money on God
dard. There and the two quarrelled.
Jackson drew a revolver and his
daughter disarmed him and two hours
later, when jackson was unarmed,
Goddard shot and killed him. Mrs.
Jackson's lawyer is one of the attor-
neys for the defense and since God
dard's arrest she and her two daugh-
tiers have sided with him. Coming as
it does on the heels of the sensational
trial of John Schlegel, for the murder
of DR.. Berger, which ended in an ac-
quittal, the Goddard case is attracting
great attention. In both cases the doc
tors were charged with breaking up a
home.

Tacoma, Wash, Oct; 26.-Oriental
advices per steamer Olympia:
September 30 a heavy rainstorm
spread all over Japan and up to the
time the steamer Olympia left Yoko-
hama reports were coming in of ter
rible havoc done. The government
railway was washed away in several
places between Hodogaya and KAN
bara. A part of the tunnel between
Hodogaya and Totsuka collapsed and
fell on five trucks of a train which was
passing through at the time. Parts
of the line between Ozio and Kodzu
and Matsula, Yamakita and Okitsu
and Kambara were submerged and the
railway people are now busy repairing
damages. A Kobe dispatch says that
numerous floods have occurred in that
vicinity, Alashi being under water
with seven houses swept away and
traffic has been stopped on the an
Yo railway. From Nagoya, Gfiu, Hi
roshima, Okayama, Kagaway, KagO-
shima, Kioto, Chiba and other places
comes news of bridges and embank-
ments having been swept away and
enormous damages done.
Many people were killed in the sew
eral districts.
At Musais, twenty-five houses coll
lapsed. At Akashi twenty houses
were destroyed and twenty-five badly
damaged. The Mainichi state that
that 5000 houses are flooded at Ma

present dependent on the rations of
food issued by the government. The
damage to the rice crops is estimated
to be not less than one and half mil
lion yen.
The Tokiado railway was blocked by
the collapse of the Sattatoge tunnel.
At Ashigari, Shimogeri, a land slide
occurred and water gushed out from
es, besides damaging some others. At
another place, Kajiya-Mura, on the
Arakawa river, seven houses were de-
destroyed and the whole district was
under water. The Fujiki river was
in flood and carried away fourteen
houses at Ugawara, besides damaging
numerous others, and the we'll known
mineral springs there have been buried
and have totally disappeared from
view. Along the Atami road bridges
were washed away, as we'll as other
damage done, but fortunately no loss
of life is reported. The late rice crops
are reported to have been almost COM
pletely ruined in many districts.
An official report from Hiogo states
that the Takarad Cuka bath house,
well known to most of the foreign res
idents, was washed away.
There were twenty deaths in Arima.
Two persons were killed, five houses

SARNELuS SERUM
It Is Not For incubation
Purposes.
1T Is A SERUM THAT CURES
YELLOW FEVER IN
BAD STAGES.
His Experiments Have Only BecH
Made On Animals As Yet, But
Have Been Highly Successful.
He Will Extend His Expert
mentS To Human Subjects

New York, Oct ga dispatch to
the Herald from Buenos Ayres, says:
DR.. Sarnelli, who has been in Uru-
quay for many months studying the
yellow fever problem and who recent
ly announced the discovery of cura-
tive anti-toxine for the fever has been
interviewed as to his work by the Her
AIDS correspondent in Montevidio.
In the first place DR.. Sarnelli states
that American physicians who have
been interviewed by the Herald as to
his discovery are completely mistaken
as to it's uses. 1t is not a serum to
be used for innoculation to prevent yell
low fever, but a serum which he be-
lieves will cure it.
DR.. Sarnelli said that he had innocu-
lated many dogs, horse and other an
imals with a serum which was intend
ed to give them a mild form of fever
and immune them. This method he
found to be slow, difficult and varying
in it's results according to the class of
animal upon which the experiments
were made. In order to immunize a
horse he found innoculation would
fourteen months.
Then Sarnelli turned his attention to
the experiments which resulted in the
discovery of a curative serum. He
first inocculated certain animals in or
der to give them yellow fever, then
tried his curative serum, with most
satisfactory results. Several of the
animals were almost dead with genuine
yellow fever when the curative serum
was injected. In each case they recov-
cred.
He believes that the same results
would follow this treatment of a per-
son who suffered from the fever,
though as yet he has been unable to
make a practicable test on a man.
He states that a human being will
not yield so readily to yellow fever.
Therefore he may have to make minor
changes in his treatment after TAX
ing 1t.
The quantity of serum for inocculat-
ing animals, he finds, varies and he ex-
poets when he makes a test on fever
patient to find that the quantity will
again vary. This however, he says,
can easily he regulated.
This new serum, says DR.. Sarnelli,
if compared with other serums, intend
ed for preventive or curative purposes,
will be found to be far above them in
efficacy, though it is not yet perfect
Before announcing his final conclu-
sions and the composition of his cura-
tive serum, DR.. Sarnelli will try to
make a more potent serum for expert
ment on a fever patient. He will soon
leave Montevidio for Rio Jeniero,
where he will continue his expert
ments.

NEW INDIAN DEAL.
Proposal For An Indian Territorial
Government.

Proposal For An Indian Territorial
Government.
Muskogee, 1. T., Oct. 26.-The initial
step toward what may be the final ter
mination of the vexed Indian problem
in the Indian Territory has just been
taken by Chief Isparcecher, in a spec
ial message to the Creek council. The
plan advocated is supposed to be the
result Of recent conferences of the
Cherokee, Creek and Seminole tribes,
and Chief Mayes, of the Cherokee ma
ton, is known to favor the plan. In
his message, Chief Isparcecher says:
"Our effort to treat with the United
States government has proven unsuc-
cessful and we can now have no hope
of continuing our government much
longer, as we have no hope from the
terms of any new treaty.
THE time has now come, in my OPP
inion, when the citizens of the five ma
tions should get together and agree
upon the establishment of a govern
ment, by which we may perpetuate the
rights of disagreement. Should we
be attached to Oklahoma as terri
tority or a state, this right of self-gov-
eminent would be taken from us by the
superior number of its voting popula-
ton. None of US want such connec-
ton with Oklahoma, yet there are
strong efforts being made by polite
ians for single statehood including the
five nations. But this can be averted
by timely and united efforts blk the five
nations"
"They are yet the sovereigns of their
soil and politically free born, with the
right to shape for themselves a govern
ment that will best serve them for the
protection of their lives and property"
In conclusion the chief recommends
the holding of a convention of the
leading men of the five civilized
tribes, to the end that the United
States government will make definite
proposals looking to the establishment
of a government of the Indians, and
for the Indians of the five civilized
tribes.

Mexican Laborers Resist Arrest And
Three Are Killed.
Yuma, Ariz., Oct. 26.-Three to seven
striking Mexican laborers were killed
and a number wounded in a battle
between strikers and deputy sheriffs
at Mammoth Tank, Ariz, One of the
deputies, George Wilder, is believed to
be MORALLY wounded. Sheriff Melgreen
and Deputies Jones and Wilder, with
warrants for the arrest of three of the
strikers, arrived at Mammoth Tank
and found the strikers massed about
quarter of a mile beyond the station.
They were in a defiant mood and de-
clared that no arrests could be made.
Deputies Wilder and Jones grabbed
their prisoners, but the sheriff had to
go through the entire crowd of strik-
ers to get his man. Before he reached
him the Mexicans, who had armed
themselves with revolvers, link pins,
and rocks began fierce assault upon
the officers. Deputy Wilder fell at the
first volley.
Deputy Jones then opened fire on the
strikers with a shot gun and at the
first shot three fell. The crowd halt
ed momentarily, but soon began adj
vancing again, when another shot from
Jones' gun brought down several more
of them. This caused another halt,
which enabled the officers to carry
Wilder to the train, which pulled out
for Yuma amid a hail of rocks and
scrap iron.
A posse of deputies has started for
Mammoth Tank to make a number Of
arrests, and serious trouble is expect
ed.

The stories of the two women have

PURE TEA CLASSIFICATION.
The Government Will Not Lower The
Standard

The Government Will Not Lower The
Standard.
New York, Oct. 26.-The board of tea
examiners have finished their session
and submitted their report to Secre-
tary Gage, of the treasury. The STAN
dards established by the boards last
April are classified into sixteen grades.
Little or no consideration was given to
the make, style of color of the teas in
the dry leaf Besides, there was a
per centage limit as to the amount of
dust of fannings in the tea. Even
when the dust or fannings were genu-
inc resedium, after the screenings, the
point agreed was limited. The decis-
sion of the board of examiners rails
ed a protest from all the tea growing
countries as we'll as from many impor-
tiers. They claim that no allowance
had been made for needle tea, which
was classified with dust. All these
protests sent to the secretary of the
treasury were submitted to the board
and upon these protests the board have
made their report. At the request of
the Chinese minister the board added
two new cases for Canton tea, but the
board rejected the plea for Chinese
importers who asked that damaged
teas for sick old men" be admitted.
In regard to India and Ceylon teas the
board made the distinction asked bet
ween needle tea and dust, so as not
to exclude the former. The board to
change the very high standards and
recommends legislation that will pre-
vent the submission of importers of
samples not drawn from the packages
actually imported, the latter being in
ferior.

Leon, Nicaragua, Oct. 26.-Several
hundred prominent citizens of the best

President Zelaya or his officers. Each
of these prisoners has been heavily
fined or a demand made upon him to
pay a large forced loan. More than
one hundred of these citizens are i'm
