Peril in Dirty Money.
Rochester Herald

It has long been a crime against the sanitary welfare of this country that the Government should tolerate. the circula- tion of so much paper money that is ut. terly vile in its tilthiness. Every day one is compelled to handle dirty bills that one would not touch under any circum- stances. Lately there appears to have been a great deal of this nasty stuff in circulation. and that 1t transmits fatal disease from one person to another can. not for an instant be doubted. In fact smallpox was introduced into thriving Western town through this means, the first victim being the cashier of a bank The sacrifice of several lives followed. Many deaths have been traced to con taminated money. But we never heard a protest from the national health depart ment.

10000 skilled window glass workers,
who have been idle for over six
months, Will be back at work within

ment. All the trading and producing
companies and both organizations OF

Under the agreement made the
workers will receive 21s per cent in
creases in wages, but the most i'm
portant part of the new scale is the
concession made by the workers which
will enable the manufacturers to shut
out from 100000 to 100000 boxes of
foreign window glass imported an
nually from Belgium and France. The
new scale becomes effective Nov. 10

COLOMBIAN GOVERNMENT HELPLESS
HER ATTITUDE TOWARD THE
NEW REPUBLIC BECOMES
OF NO IMPORTANCE.

Washington, Nov THE United
States government has recognized the
de facto government of Panama and
instructions have been sent to Unit
ed States Minister Beaupre, at Bogota,
and to Mr. Ehrman, the United States
vice consul at Panama and now act
Ing consul there, to inform the govern
ments of Colombia and Panama, re-
spectively, that the de facto govern
ment is recognized.
The decision to recognize the de
facto government of Panama was ar
rived at after protracted session of
the cabinet at which every member
was present except Secretaries Root
and Wilson. No other subject was con-
sidered. The president emphasized
the Importance of the recognition of
the de facto government.
The events Of the day as developed
here as to the situation on the 18TH
mus were the receipt of dispatches
from Commander Hubbard of the
Nashville, the arrival in Washington
of Consul General Gudger of Panama.
the issue of orders to Admiral Cogh-
Ian to proceed forthwith to the 18TH
mus with the consul general, and the
business recognition by the United
States of the de facto government of
the new republic, which will later be
fully recognized politically.
Revolutionists in Control.
Commander Hubbard cabled that
the Colombian government troops un-
der Generals Torres and Tovar, $50
strong, at Colon, had departed on a
merchant vessel He stated that the
isthmus from one side to the other
was in the hands Of the revolutionisls
This statement is of the greatest i'm
portance. The United States govern
ment being bound by treaty to main
tain order and preserve free traffic
across the isthmus is now under the
obligation to prevent any hostile col
lisions either along the line of the
Panama railway or at the termini,
Panama and Colon Thus the future
attitude of the Colombian government
toward the new republic of Panama
becomes Of little Importance, for it is
practically impossible for it to go to-
war with Panama.
So for practical purposes the sep
aration of Panama from Colombia is
complete and is likely to be per-
manent according to the official belief

for his men. He was at breakfast and
partially dressed when the alarm
came. Dashing into the house in his
shirt sleeves, with another miner
whose name has not been learned,
Turner made his way into the main
tunnel Here they found everything
ablaze. They groped their way down
and dragged out five bodies, including
Tobin's. In a second attempt they
did not come out and were later
brought forth dead by the rescuers.
Turner was acknowledged as the
leading authority on cyaniding in
America.
The mine is eight miles from vir-
ginia City and communication by tele-
phone is difficult
The shafthouse, cyaniding plant and
tunnel are total loss.
The total number of dead may not
be known for some time and the bod
les, all but those of Tobin and Turner,
are too badly burned to be identified.
