AT THE ELEVENTH HOUR.

These propositions. President Conroy
said, came at the eleventh hour and the
council was unable to depart from Its
customary manner OF doing business
President Conroy added that the local
unions had as much, II not more right
than the council 10 act upon an arbitra-
tion proposition, and he thought it unfair
TO organized labor TO have a report spread
that arbitration had been refused, when,
as a fact, IL would be given a careful
consideration.
The shutdown order. he said, as far as
the textile council was concerned, did not
change tho situation.
Under the strike order union men must

AIR is USELESS TO LIFE
Doctor Says Electricity and Not
Oxygen Puriaes Human
Blood.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2O.-Dr. Albert j.
Atkins. lecturer on the principles OF medi-
cine at the California Medical college,
claims that experiments conducted by him
have demonstrated that It is electricity, not
oxygen. which puriies the blood in the
lungs DR.. Atkins says that no oxygen
passes through the membrane OF the air
cells Of the lungs into the blood stream.
He has discovered that the action which
takes place in the lungs in breathing is
electrical.
The theory advocated by DR.. Atkins is
that the oxygen Of the system comes from
food and water consumed, and must be re-
fined by digestion before Il can be dissolved
and enter the blood. He claims that a GER
tain percentage Of oxygen is consumed by
means Of the chemical action taking place
in the air cells during breathing and the
refuse exhaled as carbon dioxide. Further
experiments show that the resistance OF the
human system was so much greater than
the pressure OF the atmosphere that Il
would be impossible for osn osis OF a gas
TO take place under such conditions. Other
experiments show that yenous blood can be
given the color OF arteTial blood by the use
Of galyanie electricity.

TALK OF BENNETT CREDITORS
They Discuss Methods for selling
out the stock Before Ref
cree CIapp.

Referee Clapp yesterday continued to
gather the opinions Of those interested in
the matter Of whether It is best to close
the Bennett store and sell the goods In bulk
or keep it open for a time preceding the
final sale. The testimony OF the follow
ing large creditors was introduced: e. II.
Allen, w. II. McCord. II. w. Yates, NJ. T.
Barlow. c. w. Lyman, w. S. Stone. Mer-
chants National bank Omaha Gas company,
G. w. Wattles. These were OF one opinion
that inasmuch as the store had been run
ming at a loss it was advisable to close it
and sell the stock in bulk. Receiver Ed
gar E. Hastings said that he agreed with
this idea and believed that It would be
for the best interests OF the creditors to
close the store. Hastings admitted, how
ever, that he had only arrived at that de-
clsion within an hour and half before his
coming before the referee.
c. H. Pickens of Paxton & Gallagher
took a different view and thought that
under the proper conditions the store could
run for a ten days sale 10 a better ad-
vantage than in selling the goods now on
hand in bulk. These conditions were that
there should be allowed certain amount
for judicious advertising, that the goods be
sold actually %. to 30 per cent below the
invoice cost and that favorable weather
should come for the sale. Under these
conditions, II was his opinion, more could
be realized for the creditors than under

STORMY SCENE IN RElCHSTAG
President of House Declines 60 Permit
Discussion Concerning Late
Herr Krupp.

BERLIN, Jan. 2O.-There was 1, -my
scene in the Reichstag today, foh -fe;.
attempt OF Herr Vollmar, socialist. to ~
debate on the charges brought again
the late Herr Krupp and Emperor WIZ
liams kilograms and speeches on the sub
ject.
The president of the house declined to
permit the discussion and the socialists
violently protested against this ruling as
serting that he was violating the rights OF
the Reichstag.
The ground on which the president acted
was that II was out of order to discuss a
private person while debating the budget.
The president interposed several times to
prevent Herr Volmar from continuing his
remarks. The socialists who revilCd TIE
president frequently referred to him as "a
miserable dog"
Herr Vollmar insisted he had the right to
discuss Emperor williams speeches on the
Krupp affair, but the president resolutely
excluded any such comments, deciding that
his majesty's expressions OF opinion or
sympathy following Herr Krupp's death be-
long TO the emperors private life. Herr
vollmar remarked that the emperor's s
speeches were printed in the ofhcial Reich
sanzeiger. and as a consequence it could be
assumed that they belonged to public af-
fairs. but the president overruled him.
Discussing foreign relations, Perr Vollmar
said the socialists wanted TO know why the
Venezuelan ships had been sunk and why
the Venezuelan forts had been bombarded,
adding:
We want fun information on all phases of
the mediation efforts since President
Roosevet's refusal to arbitrate We hope
the government will not repeat Napoleon $
