DOES SEEM RIGHT?
Man Loses Policy After Paying Pre-.
nums for so Years.

Chicago, Feb. 6.-Because Thomas
Chalmers of the firm of Fraser & Chal-
mers, made mistake in his age, a life
insurance company has cancelled a
policy on his life issued more than so
years ago. Mr.. Chalmers has brought
suit in the superior court to have the
company's action annulled.
When Mr.. Chalmers in 1851 was, as
he say in his bill, ''as working man
following his trade as a machinist," he
took outsa policy for 5000 giving the
date of his birth of June IA, 1920. A few
years later his daughter visited his old
home in Scotland and, consulting the
parish register. discovered that the date
of her fathers birth was June IA, 1916.
/, Mr.. Chalmers took out another policy
for $1,000 with the same company in
1866. and in filing his application gave
his correct age. He continued to pay
the premiums on the first policy he
says. after the second policy had made
the company acquainted with his true
age. Finally, in 1901, the policy was
cancelled.

Colon, Colombia, Feb. 6.-The report
that the Libertador (Ban Righ) now
operating in the interests of the Matos
revolution against President Castro of
Venezuela, had been sunk at Puerto
Colombia, Colombia. by a Venezuelan
man-of-war is unfounded. According
to news received here, today, the Liber-

an unknown destination.
Other news received here, today, from
Cartagena is to the effect that "a po-

their escape. Feb. 1. Their escape was
attended by serious ARRAY, in which
the commander of the prison and the
fort and several others were killed. The
escaped prisoners have not yet been re-
captured.

BOSTON'S SMALLPOX.
Case Found Walking the Streets-Nest
Of Seven Gases Located.

Boston. Feb. 6.-The health authorities
of this city are making strenuous efforts
to wipe out smallpox, but while whole
sections of the city have submitted to

The man gazed stupidity at the doctor
and went along with him to a police sig
nal box. Ambulance was called and the
patient was taken to hospital A crowd

RENEWED EFFORTS
To Block Russia's Game to
Control Manchuria
Being Made by British, American and

China Doing Best She Can, but Russia

Pekin, Feb. 6.-The British, Ameri-

newed their opposition to the Man
churian arrangements between China
China and Russia. 1t is probable that
this action will result in the further
postponement of the consultation of
this treaty.
The powers opposing the Manchurian
treaty are now beginning to recog-

of the Chinese plenipotentiaries, that
China is making the best terms pos
sible for herself, and incidentally for

in China. and are shifting their pro-
tests to Russia as the responsible party.
Paul Lessar. the Russian minister
here, is endeavOring to maintain the
transparent diplomatic fiction that the
Manchurian treaty and the Russo Chi
nese Bank agreement are not related.
He has informed his colleagues that
the Russian government has no official
knowledge of the negotiations of the
Russo Chinese Bank.
The Russian agents are playing their
parts with the greatest regard for ap-
pearances, while M. Lessar is arrang-
ing the treaty with China. The man
ager of the bank. M. Pocatillo, one of
the most able and trusted of the Rus
sian agents in the East, is negotiating
the bank agreement with Wang Wen
ShaO.
In the light of the statements of
Chinese officials, which were repeated,
yesterday, namely that Russia insists
upon the simultaneous signing of the
Manchurian treaty and the bank treaty,
the representatives of M. Lessar fail
to carry weight. The native news
papers are filled with stories that Rus

Germany remains disinterested
spectator of the affair. Chang Chi
Tung, the viceroy of Hankow, and Liu
Kun vi, the viceroy of Nankin. con-
tinue their efforts against the treaty.
They are cooperating with the Japa-
neSe minister. =
The correspondent here of The AS
ISOLATED Press has seen a draft of the
agreement. This provides that China
shall build all railways and develop
all mines in Manchuria. If she is
unable to command the capital she
shall apply to the bank. If the bank
is unwilling or unable to enter into ar
rangements, China may apply else
where for capital.
The final clause stipulates that the
agreement shall in no wise impair the
existing rights of other nations. which
clause is palpably nullified by the pre-
ceding conditions.

No More Parlors.

A delightful change has come in
house furnishing.
Parlors are being done away with.
| The word is apt to conjure up vi ion
of onyx tables, impossible gift frame
chairs, with satin seats, cabinet with
shells and other bric-a-brac; perha ps a
wax cross under glass case.
This sacred room in former years has
occupied the front of the house, and
was not to be invaded by the children
In the new houses being planned there
is no parlor. Where there is sufficient
space reception room is built off on
one side of the house, or the dark
middle room is used for recei ing
casual visitors.
But the bright. light room is dev ated
to the comfort of the family. The
piano, a couch, big table with a
lamp and plenty Of space on it for
books. and magazines. big easy chairs,
simple muslin curtains and a fire are
the other essentials to complete this
cosey sitting-room.
The sensible housekeeper realizes
that her visitors would far rather be
shown into this room than into a stiff
reception room, which gives no idea of
the family life.
The husband and children are GER
tainly far happier with such an ar
rangement than when the largest and
pleasantest room in the house was re-
served for visitors.
The husband is apt to spend his eve
nirgs at home, where bright fire is
blazing merrily in the sitting-roo-l, a
well-trimmed and shaded lamp pl; ced
conveniently near his easy chair, ard a
stool for his feet. The small boy likes
to have his dog up on the divan along
side of him when he is reading.
This would not do if there were
dainty cushions and an expensive cover
on it. but good Bagdad thrown over
it and some washable cretons on the
cushions will be but little harmed, and
the wise mother willingly sacrifices her
aesthetic ideas to give pleasure to her
boy.
In future years the man will be the
better for the memory Of the cosey
room which the mother arranged for
her children. Comfort rather than ele-
gance should be studied in the ar
rangement and furnishing of the house.

Thought to Be Correct Number in Chi

to be the correct number of persons
who lost their lives by the explosion of
gas in the Trostel butcher shop at 376
Twenty-second street, last night, but
the firemen are still digging in the
ruins. Fire Chief Musham believes that
pocket of gas exploded.
The coroner's inquest was set for 2
O'Clock. this afternoon. Every effort is
being made to find sausage cutter
named George, who, minus one shoe
and with his hair and mustache singed,
escaped from the butcher shop. He is
believed to have been the only one who
escaped alive and the coroner desires
his testimony. He was seen to crawl
from the ruins soon after the explosion.
He ran across the street, apparently
crazed from freight and has not been
seen since.
