A BAD EXPERIMENT
Effort to DisprOve KOch's Theory May
Cost a Life.

Paris, July 22.-Dr. Garnault, who
on June II inoculated himself with
matter taken from consumptive COW
in order to disprove Prof. Koch S
theory that it is impossible for human
beings to catch tuberculosis from cat
tie, has written to theTemps announc-
ing that the inoculation has produced
tuberculosis tumors. He says this
proves that man isquite as susceptible
to bovine tuberculo sis as any other
animal. He again inoculated himself
July l5 by inserting uuder the skin
of his left arm fragment of tuber-
cular matter from the liver Of a dis
eased COW. The second inoculation
was performed because he feared that
the tuberculosis OF the skin resulting
from the first would remain too long
superficial. The second form of inoc-
ulation, when performed on a guinea
pig, inevitably causes death within
eight weeks. This will give an idea
OF the risks DR.. Garnault 10 running.

WHERE Is STRONG?
May YOhe Says He Stole Her Jewels
Worth Ia Million.

New York, July 22.-Captain Titus
OF the detective bureau said today sew
eral detectives had been looking all
night for ex-Captain Putnam Bradlee
Strong, against whom warrant
charging theft was sworn out by May
Yohe. dis men, he said, had found
no trace OF Strong. Captain Titus
said that Miss Yohe had come to New
York today from Hastings-on-the-
Hudson, and, with several detectives,
was making q tour of the pawn shops
for the purpose of identifying, If pos
sible, some of the jewels supposed to
have been pawned by Strong.
A formal complaint of grand larceny
was made against ex-Captain Putin an
Bradlee Strong yesterday by May
Yohe, who visited police headquarters
accompanied by her mother and her
lawyers. She charged Strong, who
recently disappeared from his home at
Hastings, with the theft of jewels which
she values at / million dollars. Her
complaint was entertained and gen
eral alarm was sent out for the arrest
of Strong.
Miss Yohe's counsel said that the
safe in the Knickerbocker Safe De-
posit company, where Miss Yohe kept
her jewels, was opened yesterday and
it was fonnd that her jewels, valued at
/ million dollars, had been removed,
nothing of value being left in the safe
except few trihing trinkets. He also
explained that pawn tickets calling
for 800, 900 worth Of the missing gems
had been recovered.

TALKS ABOUT FRIARS
Secret ary's Instructions to Governor
Taft.

Washin gton, July 21.-In his mes
sage to Judge Taft, governor of the
Philippines: who has been conducting
the negotiations at Rome, Secretary
Root, says:
THE reasons making the withdraw
al of the friars desirable are not re-
ligious or racial, but arise from the
political and social relations which
existed under the former government,
and which have created personal an
tipathy menacing TO the peace and
order of the community. Such a vol
untary withdrawal would not involve
any confirmation of any accusations
against the persons Withdrawing, or
the orders to which they belong, and
it is to be observed that we have made
no accusations. 1t would simply rec
ognize the existence of the conditions
which for several years past have been
and now are preventing these particu-
lar agents from serving the church
in the stations to which they we're as
signed, and which would make their
unemployment injurious to the com
munity. 1t is not the United States
government which objects to the pres
ence OF the friars. 1t is the Catholic
population of the Philippine islands.
"Recognizing the intensity and prac-
ical unanimity of this feeling among
he Filipinos, aud at the same time
desiring TO avoid causing loss to the
church, the United States government
proposed to pay for the lands out of
the public funds if the friars would re.
tire from the island, and give place to
other religious leaders of their own
faith who might be able to accomplish
for their religion what they themselves
had so signally failed to accomplish.
In making this proposal the United
States representatives were well aware
that financially it was only of benefit
TO the church, for the lands are un-
productive and held in adverse posses
sion by the natives who refuse TO pay
rent; while the former congregations
OF the Objectionable friars now refuse
to receive them, and they could only
be restored to the parishes by such
affirmative governmental action as
under our constitution can not be
taken"

TO HIS SON AND WIFE
Mackay's Wealth Estimated at Nearly
100 Millions.

San Francisco, July 22.-The for.
tune of the late John W. Mackay is
estimated at between so and 100 mil.
lion dollars. James L. Flood and G.
w. McInerney have filed for record
here deeds signed by the by the late
multimillionaire for all the real estate
the latter owned in this city at thestime
of his death. They are drawn in favor
of his widow Marie Louise II. Mackay
and hi son, Clarence H. Mackay,
who will share alike in all respects.
In the three parcels of real estate
transferred the condition in two is
Glove and affection" In the third a
nominal sum is named.
Two we're drawn in New York city
on December q, 1900, before George
II. Cory, commissioner of deeds for
California. They give to Mrs. Mack
ay and her only son the Grand Opera
house in this city and the valuable
property at the southwest corner OF
Fourth and Market streets. One was
drawn in San Francisco before Hol-
land Smith on March 20, 1902, on
Mackay's last visit here, and disposes
of an undivided one-half interest in
the Nevada block, at Montgomery
and Pine streets. Mackay's purpose
in signing the deeds and intrusting
them to Flood, his old time friend, is
thought to be because ne wanted to
make easier and less expensive to his
heirs the administration of his estate.
London, July 22.-The chancellor
of che British eXchequer may net a
large sum from the estate of John w d.
Mackay. In legal circles it is consid-
cred a nice point as to whether the
British government is or is not en-
titled to claim the death duty of per
cent on what Mrs. Mackay may inherit
under her husbands will, since al
though not naturalized, she is domi-
ciled in England.
A death duty must be paid on all
the testator's investments in English
securities, which are said to reach
nearly 10 million dollars.

A NEW NATIONAL PARTY

New York, July 21.-At a confer.

cal economy in the Imperial Univer-

sideration of the other members of the

the new party, based on the Kansas
City platform.
