SOUTHERN LEAGUE CHANGES.
Reported That Little Rock and shrev.
pert VIII BE Dropped.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New Orleans, La, Aug. 30-If present
plans shall not be abandoned, big sur
prise is In store for Southern baseball in
terests. involving nothing less than a radi-
cal change in the circuit of the Southern
League at the end of the present season.
The news leaked out from sources known
OF the Southern League that Little Rock
and Shreveport are to be dropped from the
circuit. 1t seems that a three-year agree
ment, concerning the eight cities now in
the circuit, expires at the end of the pres
ent season, and majority OF the: fran
chise-hOlders are opposed to a renewal of
the agreement for circuit as at present
constituted.
It u claimed that Little Rock and Shreve-
port are unfavorably located, geographical
". and that other reasons operate against
their being in the same circuit with a
majority of the cities In the Southern
League. It Is learned that at recent
meeting Of q number Of the most influential
men OF the Southern League q reorganiza-
ton OF the circuit was practically agreed
upon.
Among the cities seriously discussed,
from which to select two 10 fill the pro-
posed Ettle Rock and Shreveport vacancies
are Mobile Chattanooga, Macon. Augusta.
Columbus. Savannah and Charleston: there
was also the suggestion that possibly Louis
Vile, KY, would be an available city for a
reorgantxed circuit. There was also much
favor expressed for q stx-clubs league, to be
composed Of the. cities left after the drop

REPUBIIc SPECIAL.
New York Aug. ;sO-Scientists throughout
are much interested in two important dis
coveries which were made recently by Pro-
fessor Wilhelm Oswald. German chem
list One relates to photography and its
browning merit lies in the fact that by
means of a new Process Professor Oswald
is able to print pictures from negatives
without any light. The other relates to a
new method of producing nitric acid from
ammonia.
Professor Oswald. who is now in this
country, having been invited to deliver the
inaugural address At the State University
of California at the opening of the new
biological laboratory. was born at Riga in
1853. In 1881 he was appointed professor of
chemistry at the Politechnical School in
Riga. and six years later. having been Of
fered similar position. moved to the Uni
versity of Leipsig, and there he has re-
manned ever since
His principal lectures have been on phys
les and chemistry. and among his pupils
have been several distinguished Americans.
including Professor 7. w. Richards of far
ward. Professor Morgan of Columbia and
Professor Bancroft Of Cornell
PRINTING PHOTOGRAPHS
One of his present pupils is Doctor George
W. Helmrod of Omaha. Neh.. and from him
some interesting details in regard to the
| new discoveries were obtained.
THE ordinary methods Of printing photo
graphs" he said ARE more or less expen-
| sive. the main reason being because they
are based on the supposition that light must
| pass through the negative before the re-
CURED chemical changes can take place in
| the sensitized paper. Professor Oswald pro-
| duces the same result by means of the So
| called catalytic reaction. This is apparently
| due to the presence Of substances known as
cataiysers, but these substances merely IN
| crease the speed with which the reaction
| takes place. For example. hydrogen and
| oxygen can exist together and apparently
do not react on each other at all under ordi-
| nary conditions. but as soon as certain sub
stances for instance. fine platinum or finely
divided silver. comes in contact with the
mixture chemical union will take place.
which may go on SO fast that the whole
mass will explode. In this case the plati-
mum or silver has acted as the catalyser.
Simply by its presence it promotes the
chemical reaction.
| Professor Oswald makes use of this prin-
ciple in photography by treating an ordinary
silver negative with solution Of hydrogen
peroxide. The latter has tendency to
break up into gaseous oxygen and water
but under normal conditions a reaction OF
this kind goes on very slowly. In the pres
| ence of silver, however. it goes on very
| quickly and exactly in proportion to the
! amount of silver present.

| after short time quantity of hydrogen
| peroxide. but only in those places where
| there is no silver. Where silver is the reac-
| ton will take place. After this, all that Is

Corpse Discovered in an Express
Office Starts a Police In
vestigation.
COMES FROM NASHVILLE, TENN.
Decomposed Cadaver Consigned to
S. A. Wilson, Kirksville, NO.,
Arouses Suspicion in Mind
of Doctor William Smith.

Reports of a murder mystery were circu-
lated about the express offices back of Union
Station on Eighteenth street last night upon
the finding of a badly decomposed body of a
man stuffed into a whisky barrel.
The barrel arrived at 8 o'clock on a
Louisville and Nashville passenger train
in charge Of the Southern Express Com
pany.
1t was shipped from Nashville, Tenn, to
s. A. Wilson, Kirksville, Mo.
The barrel would have been reshipped
to Kirksville over the Wabash Railroad
had it not been for the odor which arose
from it.
This attracted the attention of George
Schroeder and Richard Thorpe porters in
the employ of the Southern Express Com
pany.
Upon opening the barrel they found a
body doubled up to make 1t fit in the recep-
tacle. About the body ice and sawdust were
packed.
TIE police were informed Of the find and
the dead wagon carried the body to the
morgue.
The body is apparently that Of white
man, aitnOuBn 1t Is QlScOtOreO TO Sucn an
extent as to almost battle distinction Of race
or color.
A peculiar feature of the case IL that the
name Of the consignor at Nashville is not
given on the bill of iading.
SAYS FIND IS SUSPICIOUS
The police believe that the body was one
on the way to the Kirksvilie School of
Osteopathy. cadayers, they claim. are
often dispatched to medical institutions in
this manner. The police also behave that
s. A. Wilson is merely the agent through
whom the school. or some local physician
receives material for dissection.
Doctor William Smith, osteopath. Of No.
ss4s Washington boulevard, declates that
bodies are never received at Kirlssville In
the manner the body at Union Station was
found.
Bodies are shipped direct to Krksville. ;"
he said .'They always come in COINS. and
are always delivered In perfectly legiti-
mate manner"
Doctor Smith believes that the body
was sent to Kirksyille to ward on Suspicion
He declared that AS it had started to de-
compose It would be Of no use to tho medi-

to-day for the meeting of the Alaskan
boundary Commission. which will open in
London September 3 They were received
at Liverpool by MIR. Petherick. assistant
United States dispatch agent on behalf of
the American Embassy. The party came
directly to London and on their arrival here
were met by Secretary Carter of the United
States Embassy.
DINNER FOR ROOT.
Mr.. Root registered at the Hyde Park
Hotel. while the other members of the party
A9stablfshed themselves at the Carleton Ho-
Htei. The Canadian Commissioners also are
Mere.
United States Ambassador Choate has ar
ranged to give a dinner in honor of Secre-
tary Root. at which all the American and
British representatives will be present.
The Commissioners are already familiar
with the facts of the case on both sides,
which were filed several months ago. At
the first meeting of the Commissioners, next
THURSDAY. the Americans and Canadians
WIll submit their briefs, which will be a con-
densatton OF the facts and arguments re-
gxrding the Interpretation of the treaty. The
commission will then announce the day on
which the oral arguments will be heard
OUTLET TO THE SEA.
The documents have not yet been made
public, but the Associated Press correspond
ent learns that the whole controversy CEN
tiers upon Canada's effort to acquire an out
let to the sea. 1t is known equally that
thes Canadian agent asserts that. under the
Ru1so-British treaty of 1885, the line proper
~ CROSSES numerous inlets. including the
heaAwaters Of the Lynn Canal.
The contention seems to be that the in
<3ets less than six miles wide situated in
- disputed region belong to Canada.
Mr. Foster vigorously opposes these
sNSieWs, holding that the treaty places the
line thirty miles inland. following the sin
uodttes OF the coast and thus separates
Canada from all the arms of the ocean and
puts Pprcupine Creek and the gold district
under American Jurisdiction.
The American representatives are conf
deat that their position Is unassailable. The
Comlnls1ioners expect that the complete
consideration OF the entire case will take
1ong than two months.

said Commissioner. I'VE find that we have
| just as good department as any city in

evidence of having received very good ed
ucation, and these men are to be placed
where they will come in contact with the
most people. The best men are to be placed

Station-in fact anywhere they will be IL

This move is especially essential since

less intelligent men will be sent to the

So searching has been the inquiry into

more than one Manila smoker in this

much truth in the argument that a re-

With Grievance

Mrs. Anna Gertz who has often APP

who has as often been decided against,

ing and appealed to him. Mrs. Gertz
said she had written President Roose-

troubles in the local courts. She de
clared she would again write the Presi-
dent and inform him she had been UNI
able to obtain satisfaction here.
Mrs. Gertz is a frequent visitor TO the
Judiciary building where she goes arm
ed with legal looking documents and a
determination TO have her wrongs
righted.
