eArrests of Persons Having Designs
on Kaiser's Life.

Berlin Oct. 6.-The department of po-
litical police has noted without astonish-
ment the several instances recently of
danger to the life of President Roose-
welt, only wondering that they have
been so few and so evidently without
intelligent direction. Inquiries show
that the arrests of persons suspected of
designs against members of the imperial
family average one daily The arrests
are rarely reported in the newspapers
and then only against the wishes or the
nolitical police. for the latter believe that
the mere mention of such arrests
prompts i'll regulated minds TO plan
killing the sovereign. Quite fifty def
mite clews to such plots have been in
vestigated during the last nine months
largely upon anonymous denunciations.
The members of the imperial family,
however, are so hedged in by police
precautions that it is difficult for the
mentally diseased to get near them.

and furnish the commissioners with in
formation which may lead to the de-
lection of dishonest dealings.
In this way the council proposes to
make discharges for graft possible
even under the present rigid civil SER
vice laws requiring proof.

NOT REAL YELLOW JACK.
Most of the Cases at Monterey Are
 Termed Malignant Fever"

Laredo, Tex, September 24.-Not- withstanding the strict quarantine which Laredo has enforced against Monterey and Nuevo Laredo, because yellow fever is known to exist in both cities, two cases have developed here.
 Little news of reliable nature can be learned from Monterey, where the authorities declare there is no case of fever, and the action of the Texas state health representative in so re- porting Is unjustifed, the contention Icing that while many cases of fever exist they are all malignant fever" and not yellow jack
 The situation in Neuvo Laredo re- mains unchanged. While many cases of fever exist there, there have been no deaths reported within the past few days. Dr. Mariana Treyino, a yellow fever expert from Tampico, is on the ground and is conducting an investiga- tion. Dr. Trevino has already pro- nounced three of the cases he visited as genuine yellow fever.
 Two cases of fever in this city have been diagnosed as yellow fever, one being that of an American machinist named Frank Gilkerson and the other Mexican employed in the machine shops here.
 Dr. Guiterres, the United States vel low fever expert, will arrive here to- morrow and in conjunction with the local physicians, will supervise the measures which have been taken to prevent the spread of the disease.

NICHOLSON ATTACKED CONSUL
Admiral Evans Arraigns Courtmartial
 for Inadequate Punishment.

Washington, September 24-At the navy department today the fact was learned that the "aged civilian whom Assistant Paymaster Rishworth Nicholson recently attacked at a public hall at Che Foo, China, was the German consul at that place. Nicholson, who was said to be drunk at the time, was convicted by court martial and sentenced to a reduction of five numbers in grade
 Rear Admiral Evans, commanding the Asiatic station, in his review of the find- ings, severely arraigned the court for the inadequate sentence imposed.
 It appears that the German consul did not formally report the matter to his government, supppsing Nicholson would be properly punished by the American court. It Is reported that the officers who composed the court will protest to the navy department against Admiral Evans arraignment of their conduct. No such protest has reached the department, but the Associated Press can state on high authority that the conduct of As sistant Paymaster Nicholson is a source of modification to the navy department officials, and that the action of Admiral Evans in arraigning the court for what Is considered It's inadequate sentence is heartily approved.

HIGH GRADE THIEF
 LANDS IN PRISON
METEoRlc CAREER OF ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS sWlNDLERs THE COUNTRY HAS EVER KNOWN COMES TO AN END.

Chicago, September 24-More than $780, GOO stolen, business houses in every part of the United States vietimized. bank created, a waiter risen from poverty to affluence, and an ex-convict again placed behind the bars. are features in the me- teoric career of at least one of two men now under arrest in Chicago.
 Postoffice inspectors made the captures. Julius M. Nilsson, known also by dozen other names, and Arthur J. Herbst said to have many aliases, are the prisoners. Nilsson has confessed, but Herbst will not admit that he had any part in the big swndle.
 Postoffice Inspector A. E. Germer has complaints against the two men from nearly two hundred individuals and cor porations who have lost amounts rang ing from $25 to sSO0o. All these have been victimized since June 20. when Nilsson opened an office In Chicago. In previous operations under different names the men are alleged to have secured at least $780, GOO in the last eleven months.
 This was the mode of procedure, accord ing to the inspectors:
 Nilsson and Herbst would go to a city
  in the retailing of metal ware, novelties, machinery or anything which they could secure on credit.
 They would operate under the name Of some company well known in the busi- ness world and in ordering goods to the value of thousands of dollars would give commercial agencies references.
 After the articles had been received the bogus company would transfer the con- signments to a warehouse and then ship them to New York, where they were disposed of through a fence" which has baffled the inspectors for months. When suspicion was aroused the men would flee to another city.
 One of the boldest moves of the two men is said to have been to establish bank to give financial strength to their "enter- prise" One such concern called '"rhe Cook County Bank of Trade and Con- merce," Is alleged to have existed on paper only.
 Nilsson worked for several years as a waiter. and in 1900 owned a restaurant in Chicago He sold this place and toured Europe. Then he returned to Boston and was sentenced there to one year for shop lifting.

STIRRING UP DlscoNTENT.
Small Shareholders in Steamship
 Companies Are Causing Trouble.

Berlin, September 24-Small factions of the shareholders of both the Hamburg American and North German-Lloyd steamship companies have been availing themselves of the situation of the Inter- national Mercantile Marine company to stir up discontent against the manage ment of the German lines for forming an agreement with the American combine.
 Reports have been spread on the various German exchanges concerning what the minority shareholders contended was grave mistake of compact. The Hamburg Boerse Halle, apparently by authority Of the Hamburg American and North Ger man-Lloyd companies, says that if the International Mercantile Marine company is successful, the agreement Is a master piece of policy" whereas if the 1nterna- tional Mercantile Marine company Is un- successful nothing will be gained by a traffic war;
