MONEY FOR BATHS
st. Paul Carnival Will Show Small
Ra1ance

The st. Paul people who patronized and
aided the recent street carnival because
the profits were to benefit the public
baths, were rejoiced yesterday to learn
that there would really be some profits.
BY denying duplicate and preposterous
claims, City Controller Louis Betz, who
is in charge Of the carnival accounts,
hopes to be able to give the baths at
least $1,000.
1t now appears that, wha tever may be
the carnival profits, the baths are much
indebted to the public spirit Of Mr.. Betz
DR.. Justus Ohage and City Treasurer
Otto Bremen, who recently paidfrom their
own pockets s5,0o0for twolots requiredte
complete a suitable approach toti1e ST.
Paul baths. Whether the contribution
will be returned to Messrs. Betz, Breme,
and Ohage will depend upon the gener-
osity Of the city council.

FUNERALS DELAYED
 TILL AFTER STRIKE
FAMILIES IN CHICAGO MAINTAIN
 THE UTMOST SECRECY ABOUT
 DEATHS FOR FEAR OF REPETI- TON OF DlsGRAcEFUL SCENES.

Chicago, December 2O.-Shrinking from the espionage of union piekets, and fear full that funeral parties would be attack ed by the striking livery drivers, many Chicago families have refrained from publicly announcing their bereavemerits In the vaults of several undertakers lie the bodies of persons about whose death the utmost secrecy is maintained, and whose funerals will be postponed until after the settlement of the strike. In other cases the stricken relatives have arranged for evening funerals and private burials, of which no announcement is made. The disgraceful scenes that at tended several funerals held on Saturday. when union pickets attempted to interfere with the removal of bodies, have led the health department officials to sanction the secrecy that is being preserved. The undertakers have been informed that un- less public safety demands it, burials will not be insisted on until such times as funeral parties shall, be safe from molest- alton.
 A. B. Herrigo, president of the Livery mems and Undertakers' association, said tonight
 'The reason more deaths are not being announced is because we have learned that strikers nave been reading the list of death notices in the papers, and send- ing pickets to watch the houses"
 Practically no attempt was made by funeral parties to reach the cemeteries and the day was free from disturbances.

TEACHING INSUFFICIENT.
Premier Combes Gives Out Text of His
 New School Bill.

Paris, December 20-The text of the bill of Premier Combes for the suppress sion of teaching by the religious orders and which was communicated to the coun- cil of ministers December 15, is published this morning.
 The Introductory clause dwells on the insufficiency of the teaching in religious schools, and also the dangerous tendencies inculcated, adding that on this point there Is no difference between authorized and unauthorized congregations.
 The bill provides that teaching congre- gations may be legally dissolved by mere notification to them to close their schools Should they refuse to obey such notice. their property is to be sequestrated. In the case of the teaching congregations which also conduct hospitals for the indi- gent, the property connected with their schools will not be confiscated but must be used only in connection with the hos- pitals.

MONTGOMERY TEAM
 GETTING IN SHAPE
STlc%NEY, THE NEW BASEBALL MANAGER, SAYS HE WILL HAVE GOOD PLAYERs-PABsT OR PER- BY WERDEN ON FIRST.

Montgomery, December 2o-(Special)- Persistent rumors are being circulated to the effect that the two street car compa- nies of Montgomery are soon to be merged. This rumor is especially interest ing to those cities members of the south ern league. as it will probably mean that games here the coming season will be played at Highland park instead of Pick ett Springs It is believed that the game would draw better at Highland park, which is within a mile of the down town center, whereas the Pickett Springs park is nearly five miles out.
 William Stickney, who was the financial manager of the local team last year, has been made manager of the local team this year and as he is an old timer in the bus inuess the local fans are happy. Stick ney's policy in getting together a team was we'll set out this morning in this statement:
 You know that you can buy a race horse for a couple of hundred dollars, but you can buy better horse for a couple of thousand dollars. Well, ] believe in always getting the two thousand dollar horse"
 This statement was very cheering to the enthusiastic fans who were listeners, for they knew full well Stickney's mean ing. While the new manager is busy selecting his team, there are several i'm portant positions to be finally filed Clark and Manners will again do the backstop work and Polchow and Stultz of the pitch ing staff are certain to return. Others are doubtful. Ed Pabst or Perry Werden will probably play the initial bag. Fred Moore a fast youngster, will probably be tried at second, while Kid Busch will again be at short Third is not yet de- termined.

TEST CASE FOR UNIONS.
Courts to Decide on Right to Discipline
 for Non-Payment of Dues.

Cincinnati, December 2O.4-Tomorrow morning the first legal proceedings will be made here before Judge Hosea of the supreme court to test the right of trades unions to discipline members in arrears for dues. The Contractors association will apply for an injunction to restrain the Plumbers union from calling out men for any such purpose or for order ing strikes for any disciplinary purpose when there is no disagreement with the employees or violation of contracts. To- day the Central Trades council had a very large ana lively meeting and re- solved to stand by the working plumb CTS.
 While they deny all charges of violence or interference, other than by persua- sion, they insist that no matter what may be done to the Plumbers union. the Building Trades or the Central Trades council cannot be enjoined. The strikers were still very much exercised about the benefit funds likely to be tied up by the courts, but assurances were given them that the national organi- zation would furnish the necessary funds.

CURRENCY SYSTEM IS BAD.
Prof. Jenks Thinks That Changes Are
 Necessary in China.

Washington, December 20.-The commits sion on international exchange has re- ceived from Professor Jenks the conclu- sons of the monetary commission of Ja- pan regarding the proposals of the Amer ican commission for a uniform coinage system, based upon the gold exchange standard for China.
 The resolutions declare that the chaotic condition of the currency, as 1t now exists in China, is disadvantageous not to China alone, but to those countries that have commercial relations where a definite and uniform currency system should be speed- fly naugurated and put into operation throughout the whole empire, or, at lease, in those parts of it that are of commer- clal importance. If possible, 1t is de- sirable that this system should be on the single gold standard. Inasmuch as the currency reform can not be started on a perfect system, it is regarded as advisa- ble to adopt the suggestions of the Ameri- can commission as matter of expedi- ency.
 It is also suggested that the ratio of China of 32 to 1, between gold and silver coins. should be adopted for other silver using countries that may hereafter adopt the gold standard.
