FIGHTING GAS COMBINE.
Mayor Low Of New York Striving to
Establish % City Lighting Plant.

Mayor Low Of New York Striving to
Establish % City Lighting Plant.
New York, March 17.-Mayor Low has
started a fight against the gas combine
which may result in the establishment Of
( q city lighting plant In New York. The
mayor has ordered plans and estimates
made giving the cost of a municipal light
ing plant. These plans and estimates are
now being made by Casey T.. Hutchinson,
the city electrical engineer.
This is the first real move in the fight
against the extortion and arrogant tyran-
ny Of the lighting combination, and the
whole power of the city is committed to 1t.
The plant once established, there is hope
that private consumers may be freed from
the grip that makes them bow to the de-
mands of the trust or sit in darkness.
Mr.. Monroe, in a report to the mayor,
suggested that the city establish a plant
of its own to free it from the grasp Of
the monopoly. The city, he showed, is
compelled to pay STAG annually for each
lamp. where as Chicago pays only $53.51
per year. and the average paid by cities
of the first and second class is only SSs. 90
a year.

lat LEAST THIRTY
GRAVES TO Be OPENED
IN an Effort to Get at the Truth
OF the Charges Against the
Negro "Herb Doctor"
HUNT FoR WHITE WOMAN
Detectives Believe They Have Secured
Evidence Which Holds the Old
Negro Responsible for a
Number of Deaths.

Philadelphia, Pa, March 1S.-The DO.
lice have ordered the opening OF a,
least thirty graves, having secured evil
dence which leads them to believe they
are on the right track in charging
George Hossey, the old negro herb doc
tor with at least that many deaths.
Hossey is in Jail as an accessory to
the murder Of William G.. Danzc. whose
widow Is charged with having admin
lstered to her husband a slow poison
furnished by the negro.
w do not know how many poison
ing cases can be traced to Hossey,"
said q police official today.
The case is assuming proportions
far beyond the comprehension of those
connected with it at the time Hossey
was arrested. Before the investigation
proceeds much further startling de-
Lvelopments are expected. There may
be some arrests after the&bodies to be
exhumed have been examined by the
chemists"
Detectives are searching for a white
woman who is alleged to have repre-
sented Hossey in the preliminary deal
lngs with his patrons.
Hossey Got $1eo a Case"
Seventy letters. written mostly by
women, nave DeeE found in h home of
Hossey. These letters, which are said
to be Of an discriminating nature, vary
little In their terms, and, 1t is asserted,
that Hossey charged $l00 for
every case. Some of the letters. point
to payment of the fee in installments.
Every physician within a radius OF
a mile of Hossey's home has been
summoned to give evidence as to mys-
ferrous deaths among their patients.

MUCH IN DISPUTE.
Which Joint Commission Must Settle
Between This Country and Canada.

FWhtcn JOINT commission Must Settl
Between This Country and Canada.
Washington, March 1S.-Early in tn
| fall there viii be a meeting OF the higl
kjoint commission for the purpose o
Fmaking another effort to settle tn
fwhole string of things In dispute be
kween this country and Canada. Whel
the treaty was ratified, referring tn
ALASKAN boundary dispute to a sepa
rate tribunal, 1T was thought that TIL
high joint commission could be recon
vened at once because the Alaskan
dispute was the only one which tn,
nigh joint commission members were
unable to approach In anything lik,
q spirit Of compromise
The present special session of thu
senate has kept many members here IL
Washington. The Canadian parliament
has begun Its session, and 1t may be al
work for several months before being
prorogued. On this o 1t will b.
impossible TO have a meeting Of the
high joint commission much before au.
tumn. There has been an exchange
OF letters between Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
the chairman Of the Canadian commits.
sion, and Senator Fairbanks Of Indi.
ana, who Is at the head of the Amer.
lean section. The negotiations have moi
yet reached the point where 1t has beer
deemed wise to fix a date for the re.
converting Of the commission, but the
chances are that the meeting will BIZ
held next October.
y In the meantime General John W,
poster, who Is a member Of the high
JOINT commission, has been appointed tc
represent the United States before the
tribunal appointed to determine the
Alaskan boundary dispute. 1t may no
De necessary for General Foster to at.
tend the meeting OF the tribunal In
London. He is now at work gettina
up evidence and preparing a brief In
behalf Of the United States, 1t is prob.
that all the evidence and argu.
ments VIII be submitted in writing, in
case General Foster will not
to go abroad, and will be ready
take his seat again as a member OF
the high joint commission.
Many Minor Matters.
There are SO many minor matters IN
between the United States and
canada that 1t Is not always easy to
give an xac list of the subjects which
may come before the commission TO,
settlement. The Alaskan boundary Il
not the only n in dispute, because the
commission win be expected to go into !
ne question OF h dividing line along i
he Passamaquoddy river.
This is largely a geographical cues.
ion, however. and it is believed 1T can

difficulty.
There may be something Of a conten.

WON'T LISTEN TO FATHER
Young German Insists on Making Fight
for State Senatorship.

loT 0tdtc 0ondSOFSnip
Baltimore, Md, March 17.-Arthur P.
German. jr., son of the Maryland SEN
ator, is ~antagonistic to his father. The
young man wants to represent Howard
county in the Maryland senate, but the
organization has practically agreed to
support Grosvenor Hanson, a former
delegate to the legislature and In inf1u-
entail democrat.
Young German has, therefore, been
advised to withdraw, but he declines
and insists upon making the fight. He
vas a candidate for the legislature two
years ago, and for reasons similar to
those now operating against him the
senator induced him to get out. This
time he declines to heed his father'c
advice, notwithstanding he has been
warned that he cannot expect the sem
ator's assistance.
Young German is a lawyer and, be-
ing q chip of the old block. the contest
is attracting general attention.

One of the notable books of this
spring is "Life's Common Way" by
Annie Eliot Trimbull. 1t is a story,
well told, of the modern woman as she
is developed in America or more
especially in New England society. 1t
deals with the varying effect upon
the character of our daily, busy life, and
interviewer in it is a delightful, breezy
love story. The beauty of Annie Trim
bulls stories, of which this is decidedly
the best, is the truthfulness with which
she portrays the keenness, quickness,
and acuteness of the New England
people, There is not dull line in the
book, and yet it is not sensational.
simply irresistably interesting. 1t is
published in handsome covers by A. S.
