THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
South American Countries to Have
One of Their Own.

Buenos Ayres, Argentina, June A.
Ell Nacional. a newspaper with special
facilities for learning the news con-
cerning diplomatic affairs, publishes an
article stating that the Argentine, Chill
can and Brazilian foreign offices are
negotiating an alliance to combat Eu-
ropean Intervention.
According TO I'll Nacional's Informant
the proposed alliance includes, first, an
obligation signed by the three nations
10 help each other in case any Euro
pean power should threaten either re-
public's sovereignty: second,to advance
diplomatic Intervention In case of con-
fict between European nations and any
South American republics not included
in the alliance: and third, to observe
WITH other South American republics
what European diplomacy calls the in
ternational policy of preventing con-
ficts.
The Argentine government Is care
fully guarding the secret of the nego-
tiations and refuses to make a state
ment confirming or denying the reports.
1t is fully agreed, however among those
in high authority, that the three foreign
offices have reached some agreement
relative to international affairs. A
high official said: There is no alliance,
but there is tacit agreement between
Chile, Brazil Uruguay and Argentina"
The Chilean delegates started today
for Montevideo. where an elaborate re-
ception has been prepared for them.
They will return on Thursday to wit
ness display in the harbor Of Bahia

ENJoIN CHRISTIAN HOSPITAL.
Or. Murphy, of Chicago, Suing DipIo-
ma Mill.


Chicago, June 4.--Charging the un-
authorized use of his name as an in
ducement to attract the interest OF
physicians thruout the country, DR.. j.
8. Murphy yesterday secured an in
junction against the Christian hospital
of 619 LaSalle avenue, restraining the
officers of the institution from re(re-
senting him as a member of their staff
and from using q letter-head in which
his pictures appears. This was fol-
lowed by the arrest by federal officers
OF two of the promoters of the hospital
on charges of misusing the mails. The
men arrested are N. News or N. f.
Woor and Arthur c. Probert. They will
have a hearing before Commissioner
Humphrey week from next Friday
and meantime have been released on
bonds of $4,000.
For several weeks physicians thru
out the country have been receiving in
vitations to become members of the
Christian hospital staff. If they ac-
cepted they were to pay from SIS to
$25 for q certificate, which, it was
pointed out in the circulars, with the
judicious exhibiting of the pocket mem
bership card accompanying the docu-
ment would bring more dollars annu-
ally than the cost of membership" A
book entitled Case taking and Fee
getting was another bonus, and it was
suggested the hospital would split the
fees collected from patients sent in by
the doctors who accepted membership
tho this was to be treated as confiden-
tial."

Bodies Of Young Man and Young Won

Chicago, June 4.--Jesse Miller, of
Lincoln. Neb and young lady, unidenti
fled, bat believed to be a student at the
University of Chicago, were drowned in

whether the two planned double sui

Later information developed the fact
hat Miller was student at the Univers

was supposed to be his sister, who
came from Lincoln to keep house for
him. The drowning was the result
of an accident.
Late this afternoon the woman who
drowned with Miller, was identified as

The wisdom of placing Ex-Governor

the commission was asked to authorize
payment of bills aggregating several
thousand dollars on account OF the con-
tract for the building at st. Louis Gov.
Larrabee called for receipted bills. Ihey
could not be had. The executive COM
mittee had merely certified to the COR
rectness of the bills and the fact OF
the expenditures. 1t was allowed to
go for this time on such showing
but Gov Larrabee pointed out that IN
the office of the state board of con-
troll vouchers and receipts are required
in all cases and this is perfectly pos
sible in any public work. The COM
mission laid it down as rule that re-
ceipts will be required for all money
paid out. There will be no loose bust
ness methods In connection with the
Iowa commission work. The work on
the Iowa building at st. Louis Is get
ting along very WELL and the contract
ors are making great haste in antici-
patton of hold up" by the laboring
men later on. The contract for the
Iowa building was taken at a very low
figure and If there should be any in
crease in the cost of labor the con-
tractor might lose on the job. The
building will be rushed to completion
before there is any chance for trouble
