is known as the Medical Alliance Of
America, have not been seen for about
six weeks, and their patrons, consist
Ing Of some seventy-five physicians
and about 100 business men and 9TH
ers, believe that they have been duped.
Wilson incorporated the concern, and
then explained their scheme to many
physicians. The doctors were to pay
an initiation fee or SO and 81 a year
dues and furnish list of their pa
irons to the alliance. The agents then
went among the physicians and in
duced many of them to become mem
bers of the alliance" by paying an in
itiation fee of 81 and weekly payments
of 15 cents. In return the patrons were
to receive free medical attention.
The merchants were next visited
and induced to become members on
the payment of 81 upon their agree
ment to allow the patrons of the al
lance discount of per cent on arti-
cles furnished. The Medical Alliance"
also issued policies for the payment of
death benefits. About $4,000 was Sc

FRENCHMEN PROVE THAT
DUELS ARE HARMLESS
Eight Men Fight With ButtonIess
Swords and Wounds Are Slight.

PARIS, March ia novel encoun-
ter, in which eight men fought with
dueling swords without buttons under
the same conditions as prevail in ac-
tual duels, and in which four of the
combatants were slightly wounded,
took place this afternoon in a private
enclosure at Neuilly, northwestern
suburb of Paris, in the presence of $50
persons, among them being Santos
Dumont, Maxine Dreyfus, Robert
Charvey and other well known Paris
ian clubmen. The police attempted to
interfere, but the commissary of police
was induced to believe that the affair
was an ordinary fencing match with
buttoned foils, and he departed. The
organizers of the encounter declare
that the object was to demonstrate
the harmlessness of duels, as they are
generally fought.

GREAT NORTHERN
TO SAN FRANCISCO
Coast Newspaper Says Two
Routes Are Available and
Have Been Surveyed.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March 15.-
James j. Hill, president Of the North
ern Securities company, is planning
to invade California by way of the
north with Lines of the Great North
ern railway, according to the Call.
1t is further stated that two sur
veys have been made along the Cali
fornia and Dragon coast between
Portland and San Francisco, and that
those interested in the surveys have
already submitted to Mr.. Hill two
routes by which they can reach San
Francisco.
One surveying party worked north
ward from Marion river and the 9TH
er one southwark from Portland, Or.
Both routes surveyed are shorter than
the Shasta route Of the Southern Pa
cific company, one by 120 miles and
the other by at least 140 miles.
1t is asserted that the route select
ed by the Hill surveyors provided for
the grade of about 2 per cent, against
a grade of or more which is expert
enced along the line of the South
ern Pacific.
Further information has been re-
celved that in routing the new line the
surveyors were instructed to include
COOS Bay among the towns to be
touched, or some other city on Coos
bay, Crescent City and Eureka, in
california, out 1t is possible that the
two latter points may not be ignor-
ed, for since the surveyors completed
their work the Santa Fe has sud
denly acquired the roads around Cres-
cent City and Eureka, and announced
its intention of Immediately extend
ing the small properties southwark to
San Francisco.
Among those familiar with Presi-
dent Hills purpose, it is the belief
that the Santa Fe's determination. to
get a foothold along the California
coast was prompted and greatly has
tened by an intimation that President
Hill was preparing to cut through the
same territory.
AS to President Hills plans for a
terminal on San Francisco bay, it is
asserted that he already has secured
option on property on the north side
water front, where ferry boats can
easily connect with the point on the
Marion county side.

Labor leaders have no hesitancy In
saying that if the injunction is not dis

both sides will be sharp and determined
