CONSPIRACY FOR MILLIONS
San Diego People Sue Big New York
Broker Firm

SAN DIEGO, April 13.-R. G. Douglass
and Mrs r. o. Butterfeld, owners Of two
lepidolite mines at Pala, IN this county,
have filed charges of conspiracy in the
Superior Court against Spencer, Trask &
Co of New York City and also against
Wade Chance of the same place. Accord
ing to the complaint, the New Iork firm
was recently given an option to purchase
the property for $1S5,oo0. and while the
option was pending permission to develop
the mines.
Incidentally Mr.. Douglass and Mrs.
ButterfieId borrowed $4,000 from the New
York firm and gave lien upon Loco tons
of ore to secure its payment. This IS
the claim made by the owners, but the
New York people claim that the lien was
upon the whole property, and they are
now seeking to foreclose it. Representa-
tives OF Spencer, Trask & Co, worked the
mines for time and then suspended op-
erations. Mr.. Douglass and Mrs. Butter
field claim that tunnels and shafts were
run into the ore, and were then covered
up to conceal the value of the property.
and that the work was carried on negli-
gently and unskillfully, as is alleged.
through conspiracy for the purpose Of
gaining control of the property at a low
figure. The owners claim that there are
1901 tons of ore in the mines, and that
it is worth $500 a ton, making the total
value $50 600 coo

Slave Trade in Frisco.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-There are
reports here tonight that the federal
authorities have, so far as lies within
their authority, directed that steps be
taken Immediately to put stop 10 the
slave trade said to exist in Chinatown,
San Francisco. Some time ago the
newspapers announced that several
Chinese girls had been sold into slav-
cry in Chinatown, and that complaints
had been made to the federal govern
ment that the local authorities seemed
unlikely to take steps to suppress this
trade and prevent the recurrence or
sales of girls at auction. Upon these
reports, it is said, instructions have
been sent to San Francisco from
Washington. The officials of the Treas
ury Department. and the Department
of Justice were reticent when asked
about the matter and gave neither con-
frmatiOn nor denial.

A FLOATING
EXPOSITION
Plan to Send American Exhibits
to the Worlds
Ports.

NEW YORK, April ia special to the
Herald from washington says:
Instead Of inviting foreign purchasers
of American goods to come TO this coun-
try ana see our wares in salesrooms or in
expositions, o. E. Austin, president of
the bureau of Statistics, proposes thai
American merchants and manufacturers
shall unite in carrying samples right to
the doors of foreign customers In a
great floating exposition.
This idea has aroused a great deal Of
interest in this country and abroad and
letters Mr.. Austin is receiving from
prominent business men encourage he
hope that 1t will take practicable shape.
Mr. Austin's plan is to have men en-
gagged in different lines unite in charter
ing several ships on which they will in
stall exhibits of their wares, each ex-
hibitor to be allotted space in proportion
to the amount he subscribes. Agents will
accompany the exhibits to explain them
and negotiate for sales. As the lower
holds of the vessels Will not be suitable
for exhibition purposes, it is proposed
that they be utilized for carrying limited
stocks of goods for immediate delivery
when sales are made.
The feet would sail down the east coast
of South America, up. the west coast,
across the Pacific to the ports of China
and Japan, possibly Australia, the ports
OF the Indian ocean and thence home by
way of the Suez and Mediterranean. tax
ing in the principal ports of Europe and
consuming about two years.
This plan is being put into practice by
Il group of exhibitors at the Buffalo Ex-
position. who propose after that fair to
put their exhibits on board a ship and
make a tour of the Mexican, Central
American and West Indian ports, includ-
ing Bermuda. \ similar plan was adopt
ed about two years ago by some mer-
chants of Hamburg Germany, who sent
out a floating exposition on board sin
gle ship. The expenses amounted to
about 100000 while the direct sales
amounted TO s5,236.OOo. without taking in
t. account future sales resulting from
the introduction of goods into new mar
kets.

WANTS WORLD
WAR ON RATS
A Japanese Bacterioloeist Says
Rodents Menace the
Human Race.

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE Tribune says:
A world war on rats may be proposed
by Japan. That nation has been conduct
ing an exhaustive investigation, and the
conclusion has been reached that the
rodents are a menace to mankind.
Consequently" says DR.. Nugasha,
who is visitor to Chicago. 1.-The Mika-
dos Government is to appeal to civiliza-
ton to exterminate the rodents. It is
declared that the rats spread all sorts of
contagion, while hundreds of thousands
OF dollars worth of property are de-
stroyed by the rodents each year"
The plague, says DR.. Nugasha, would
lose half its terrors should the rats of
the world cease to exist. Other diseases
would claim fewer victims and the earth
would be safer place for humankind.
DR.. Nugasha, who is bacteriologist of
prominence in Japan, is at the Audito-
rum Annex. He has been making a
study of the plague in Hongkong, in
Bombay, in Japan and in other of the
Oriental countries. He was convinced,
he said, that rats are the greatest prop
agators of iusidious disease. Japan, says
Dr. Nugasha has had made an official
investigation of the harm done by rats
and the result of this investigation would
be brelght to the attention of the civil
lied world. His country is now taking
steps locking to the destruction of the
rodents. It is proposed to induce other
nations to do likewise.
Rats declared the visitor, served no
useful purpose. and besides spreading
germs, gnaw their way into hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth Of property
each year.
Il am aware that ! am not advancing
a new idea" said DR.. Nugasha, for bac-
teriolcgists and members of the medical
profession have long been aware of the
evil which rats work in the way of prop
agattng contagious diseases, but 1 did
not realize the extent of this evil until
I came to make my recent invest!ga-
tons in connection with the bubonlc
plague in the East. I visited HoagKong.
Bombay and other parts of the Orient
not to speak of Japan. and everyw acre
I was confronted with the fact that rats
far more than anything else were the
active cause in propagating and spread-
ing the plague
Time and again 1 found that rodents
were the active cause in spreading the
disease into some new quarter where ev-
cry ordinary sanitary precaution had
been taken to prevent the malady. These
precautions would have been effective in
all probability but for the infected ro-
dents carrying the germs with with
dents carrying the germs with them"
