STEAM HEATED FLATS
pneumonia HOTBEDS
Serious Defect Charged up Against
Big, Comfortable Apartment
Houses.

New York, Dec. docs the luxur
ious steam heated fiat number more
victims than the deadly automobile?
Some doctors think so. They say that
before the big, comfortable apartment
houses sprang into existence there
was less pneumonia than there is to-
day; hence they charge the rapidly in
creasing number of cases to the bad
effects of living and sleeping in rooms
that are Overheated and poorly Ven
tilated. During the last month there
were 6S2 deaths from pneumonia in
greater New York. By far the great
er number of these deaths were in
what is known as the apartment house
districts.
This is one of the problems now be-
ing investigated by the commission on
pneumonia, of which DR.. Thomas Darl-
ington, president of the board OF
health, is chairman.

SOME LIGHT SHED

Coroner's Evidence Shows That Mo-

chauffeur. has practically terminated

ner in which the murder was COM
mitted and the motive for Il. From
now on in their quest for the murder
er the police will have the following
conclusions for a working basis:
That Dove" was not acquainted
with his victim prior TO the time they
met on the night of the murder.
That the motive for the crime arose
after this meeting.
That no other person accompanied
the men on their trip in the automo-
Bile
That no woman was involved in the
murder.
That the propable and almost GER
tain motive for the crime was the re-
fusal of Bate TO continue the trip past
Dennis Conner's farm, three miles be-
yond Lemont, as the result Of quar-
lei over the fare and the unwilling
ness of Dove" to return to Chicago.

RUSSIA DESIRES
POSTPONEMENT
Wishes of Cars Government in
Regard to Peace Congress
Formally Communicated
BY AMBASSADOR CASSINI
Final Stages of War Will Probably be
Awaited Before Date is Def
nitely Set.

Washington. ID. c., Dec. 1.-RuSsia
has formally notified the United States
she is unwilling to join the powers in
a second peace conference at The
Hague until her war with Japan is
ended. The notice was delivered YER
bally to Secretary Hay yesterday by
Count Cassini, the Russian ambaSSa-
dor.
The ambassador was request ed by
his government to say that Russia
heartily accepted in principle the in
vitation to a second conference at The
Hague, but did not consider the mo-
ment Opportune for the convening of
such a conference, and it therefore
must withhold its formal acceptance
of the invitation until the war in the
far east was at an end.
Regrets to Ask PostpOnement.
Count Cassini was careful to assure
the secretary that Russia welcomed
the invitation of the president as an
additional evidence of the American
governments appreciation of the ben
Efficient results of the first conference,
and regretted the necessity of sug-
geSting a pOstpOnement of the work
in which the Russian government, no
less than the American. is keenly in
terested.
Although different in form, the Rus
sian reply in effect, is like those of
Great Britain, France, and the other
European powers, practically all of
which already have answered the in
vitation. While Russia is the first
power specifically to suggest a post
ponement until the close of the war,
all the powers i'm expressing their ap-
proval of the proposition reserved for
future decision the time when the con-
ference should be held.
VIII Wait Awhile.
For the present it is probable the
American government will rest on
its oars. When the far eastern war
enters on its final stage this govern
ment will be prepared to follow up
its invitation.
