Experimenters Must Obtain Govern
ment Permit to Garry On Animal
Tests in Great Britain.

Persons in Great Britain who desire
to perform experiments of any kind
upon animals must first obtain a gov
eminent license, says American Medi-
cine. The annual report OF this bu-
reau for 1903 has been issued as par
llamentary paper and shows that dur
- the year 347 persons were so IL
censeSS u, however, performed no ex-
periments Proof was furnished that
Licensees are granted to persons fitted
by training and education to carry out
experiments and profit by them. and

well-known scientists. The number
Of experiments In 1903 was 1904, in

ployed No operation more severe
than superficial venesection may be
done without anesthetizing the animal.
Inspection of places registered under
the license act revealed during the
year only two not conforming entirely

work well in England despite It's SEEM
ing meddlesomeness and undoubtedly
possesses points in It's favor. It should
and doubtless does prevent a certain
amount Of unnecessary cruelty to ami
mails. On the other hand, animal ex-
perimentation may be carried on with
out fear Of molestation by members of
protective societies, whose well-inten-
toned zeal is often a hindrance to
true scientific progress. In the United
States the animals are protected by
the American Society for the Protec-
ton Of Animals, which is a far-reach-
ing organization with branches in the
principal cities.

Because Of a lack Of farm hands the
farmers around Whippany, Alton and
Hanover, N. j.. have had to call on their
daughters TO assist In the harvest. In

be nothing strange. But for the farmers

A. CHINA TRADE MARK.
Prepared by Board of Commerce and
Approved BY Government.

By direction Of the commissioner of pat
ents draft of proposed trademark law
of China was published in the issue of the
Patent Office Gazette today. The regula
tons include twenty-eight paragraphs and
were prepared by the Chinese board of COM
merce, and have received the approval of the
Chinese government. The regulations were
submitted to U. S. Minister Conger by the
Chinese government for suggestions from
him before their adoption blythe Chinese
government, and were forwarded by him
to Consul General Goodnow at Shanghai,
for expressions of opinion blythe American
merchants there. In a note to the Chinese
government, Mr.. Conger informed 1t that
the Shanghai merchants found. the rcgula-
tons burdensome in number of parucu-
lars; and he stated that, In his opinion,
they were too complicated in places and i'm
posed too great a tax upon the mercantile
classes
Inasmuch, however, as the Chinese board
of commerce had stated that the regula
items were provisional only and might be
amended at any time. Minister Conger in
formed the Chinese government that he
would make no objection to their being put
into operation on October %, provided that
the period of exclusive use of trade
mark be made thirty years. as in the United
States, instead of twenty years. and provid-
ed also, that the changes suggested by the
British minister and indicated In revised
copy of the regulations sent 20 him by the
board of commerce, be adopted. Minister
Conger added:
ut must be distinctly understood, how
ever, that this statement Is made upon the
condition that, in addition to the changes
suggested above, other amendments may
be suggested in the future, as the expert
ence of American merchants may suggest,
and that due consideration may be given to
them"
Replying to Mr.. Conger's note, Prince
Ching, for the Chinese government, stated
thof ho rd
changes suggested by the British minister;
that the question of extension of the trade
mark period would be the subject of fur
Their consideration, and that if merchants,
in the future should desire to have changes,
excisions, or amendments made, their re-
quests would receive attention. 1t was add
ed that the regulations were experimental
and that should any of the ministers of
other. countries have suggestions to make,
their views would be taken into friendly
consideration.

PEoRIA,s DEATH MYSTERY.
Higgins, the Suspect, to Be Rearrested
in Jail

PEORIA, ILL.,, October 25.-Oliver KRAFT
zert, whose name has been prominently
connected with that of Mrs. Nellie rhom-
asson. gave out statement for the first
time this morning. He declares that a
woman. whose first name is Maud. and who
formerly lived in Chicago, but who now
lives in Peoria, may have been responsible
for the assault upon Mrs. Thomasson by
Richard Higgins. He says that she did
everything possible to cement the attach
ment between Mrs. Thomasson and Hig-
gins senior, and then kept the family
posted as to what was going on. All eff
forts to get him to further divulge her
identity failed. Kratzert asserts that Hig-
gins inflicted the injuries.
Richard Higgins will be re-arrested in
Jail on coroner's warrant charging him
with murder, and the hearing the petit
ton for a. writ of habeas corpus proceed
ings will come up next Monday. John G.
Higgins Is still missing or in hiding in this
city.
II has now been definitely established
that John G. Higgins. father of Richard
Higgins was in Peoria last Sunday. He is
supposed to have arrived late Saturday
night or early Sunday morning. He left
this city Sunday night. headed ostensibly
for New York city. One story, however,
Is to the effect that he went toward Cali
fornia He did not visit his son or attempt
in any way to communicate with him.

GYMNASIUM TO REOPEN.
Fourth Presbyterian Church and Its
Athletic Euuipment,

During the past season the base ball team
Of the Fourth Presbyterian Church has at
tracted to itself considerable attention by
reason of its prowess in the interdenomi-
national League, winning the District cham
pionship after the hardest kind of fighting.
The spirit of the team is active in other
directions, and the result is the announce
ment of the Fourth Presbyterian Athletic
Association, with headquarters in the hand
some gymnasium building at 18th and Yale
streets. Membership and the use of the
gymnasium are open to everybody, regard
less of church affiliations, and for the up
per part of the city this body offers the
same advantages for both indoor and out
door sports and clubhouse as the Y. NJ. c.
A. or Carroll Institute do downtown.
The gymnasium was opened to the pub
lie last year, but was more or less of an
experiment, although the church authori
ties put about 900 into it as a sign of
their faith. The board of managers now
announces that the gymnasium will again
open November /, with Prof. Maurice A.
Joyce as physical director The building
will be open day and evening every week
day, and classes are forming for men,
women, boys and girls. The equipment is
complete with all necessary facilities, such
as locker rooms. shower baths, reading
room, etc.

TO BAR OUT THE UNDESIRABLE.
Recommendations Of the Commissioner
General of Immipration-

A recommendation to Congress for fur
Their charging the list of inadmissabl
aliens to this country will be made to Con-
gress by Frank P. Sargent. commissioner
general of immigration, in his report to
that body for the current fiscal year.
Reference will be made to the steadily
increasing influx of these persons, now
amounting to approximately 100000 an
nually, and request made of the national
legislative body to amend the present
laws as to guard against the risks attendant
upon the admission of mass Of undesir-
able foreigners whose settlement in this
country may be menace to the prosperity
and happiness of those who have already
made their homes here.
Commissioner Sargent believes that those
who are practically helpless from senilty
should be barred from these shores I'M
less they have friends or children here who
are able and ready to care for them and
assure the government that these persons
will not be likely to become public charges
Educational qualifications will also be urged
as an asset necessary for admission to the
United States. the commissioner suggest
ing that all persons of a certain age be
compelled to undergo tests as to their men,
tai condition and their requirement Of edu-
cation. This would keep within narrow
bounds those whose ignorance made them
an undesirable element to mingle with the
citizens of the country and those more ia
vored aliens who have recently made their
homes here. but who have not yet acquired
the full rights of the citizen.
The laws relating to Chinese exclusion
will be urgently recommended for revision,
this feature of our immigration being. in
the opinion of the commissioner, one of the
most important considerations of the serv-
ice. 1t will be urged that the same right
of appeal from the decisions of the United
States courts now possessed by Chinese be
given to the government. in order that there
may be no possible opportunity for fraudu-
lent1y admitted persons Of this nationality
to hoodwink the authorities of the service.
In connection with this 1t will be asked
that Chinese persons arrested in this coun-
try for being unlawfully here be not ad
mitted to ball. this course having been fire.
quently the means of escape on the part of
the Chinese the substitution for the
guilty one of another who could prove his
right to be here. Inspectors attached to
the consulates at Chinese ports will also
be urgently asked, and these will be desired
to he accredited to the Department of Com
merce and Labor, in order that they may at
all times be under the orders of the bureau
of immigration of that department and not
subject to the State Department, as are
now the consuls who inspect the papers Of
all Chinese intending to immigrate to the
United States.
Commissioner Sargent will practically re-
peat his request of Congress made last year,
to the effect that aliens be distributed
throughout the country rather than be per-
mitted to congregate in the large cities.

McCUE TRIAL TO PROCEED.
Attorneys for Defense Decide to Start
the Case.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, October %.
The attorneys for ex-Mayor McCue,
charged with the murder of his wife, who
announced late yesterday that because Of
the Illness of Mr.. Harmon, chief counsel
for the defendant they felt they could not
proceed further, stated at the opening Of
court today that they had decided to go On.
Mr. Coleman, an attorney from Lynchburg.
has been retained in Mr.. Harmon's place.
DR.. Frank McCue, a brother of the de-
PENDANT, was the first witness He was
called to the home of the accused about
9:15 on the night of the tragedy. He said
when he got inside the house he met the
brother now on trial at the staircase,
who said to him that there was some one
IN the house who had attacked him and
probably had shot Fannie" his wife. He
detailed the finding Of the dead body of
Mrs. McCue, clad in a night robe, in the
bath tub on the second floor, and de-
scribed the wounds, there being one on
the right ear, another on the left side of
the nose and a gunshot wound in the
breast. The water was running in the
tub at the time. On coming out of the
finding of the body, when the latter ex-
claimed: "Oh, my darling wife" AS the
witness repeated this the accused buried
his face in a handkerchief and burst into
tears The witness also told Of the find
ing of gun and base ball bat in the
bath room, the latter bearing a red stain
near the end. The exhibits were identi-
fed by witness.
The gun is a repeating shotgun. Wit
ness believed his brother came into the
doorway of the bath room and saw the
dead body. On entering the bath room
the odor of burnt gunpowder was pres
ent, witness said. On meeting his broth
er in the house he asked where his wife
was, when the accused, he said, told him
to go look for Fannie" He said he could
get no replies to his questions from his
brother; that he seemed dazed and that
when he went to attend his brother later
he offered him a stimulant, which was
declined.
The witness said he observed a wound
on his brothers cheek, from which blood
was dripping on his shirt.
Mr.. McCue said on cross-examination
that his brother complained of pain in
his head and that blood was dripping
from his nose, which would result from
an injury to the head, and that the
wound on his brothers head was such as
would be made by a blunt instrument.
The witness was questioned as to the ma
ture and effect of wounds produced by a
sandbag
DR.. c. s. Venable, who was at the McCue
residence shortly after the tragedy oc-
CURED, characterized the wound on the
defendants head as an abrasion. He
found no other wounds on McCue's head.
He, too, was questioned regarding sand
bag wounds
