THIBETANS NOW OBJECT
TO ADVANCE OF BRITISH
Col. Younghusband Warned by
Lama to Turn Back or Serious
Trouble Would Follow.
MAY ATTACK ENGLISH

CHUMBI, Br. India, Jan. 2S.-Col. Young
husband. commanding the British expedi-
ton to Thibet. has received personal visit
from the Depon-Lama, one of the five great
Lamas of Thibet, who delivered an ulti-
matum warning him TO return to Gnatong'
and promising that there would be serious
trouble if he did not do so. Large rein
forcements of infantry and cavalry have
already reached the Thbetan camp and
more are coming from Lhassa and Shigatso,
the western capital. 1t is expected that
an attack will be made on the British camp
at Tuna when the Thibetans are sufficiently
reinforced In the meantime the British
are pushing the work of road-making
through q gorge north of Lingmathang,
which is said to be more difficult to traverse
and higher than the Kyber pass. The mill
tary telegraph is keeping pace with the
road-makers. All this work is being done
in the face OF artic weather. The British
expedition is still waiting a proper repre-
sentative from the Dolai-Lama at Lhassa
flying column under command of Colonel
Mcdonald Is ready to push forward at any
moment should necessity arise.

PANIC CAUSED BY A MAN
FALLING OVER A CHAIR
Theater Lights Were Low and the
Noise Started Women to
Screaming.
COOL STAGE MANAGER

ST. LOUIS. Jan. 2s.-A man falling over
chair started a panic in Havelins Theater
tonight, but the prompt action of Manager
William Garen prevented a general stam-
pede.
During act when the house was dark
ened the audience was listening intently TO
the lines of the play, a man moving about
in the rear of the balcony fell over chair
making a great noise. Instantly the audi
ence was in a panic, women screamed and
the audience sprang 10 its feet enmasse
Manager William Garen instantly ordered
the lights turned on, and, rushing upon the
stage. he called to the panic-stricken peo-
pie TO be seated, telling them there was no
danger and imploring them to remember
the terrible Iroquois Theater disaster. The
audience al once calmed down and Mr..
Garen continued TO talk, explaining that
the exits were all open and that the alarm
had been caused from noise In the gallery
and there was nothing to fear. He then
had the asbestos curtain lowered several
times and explained its workings. When
he had concluded the audience was entirely
quieted and he was roundly applauded.

TESTIMONY IN FAVOR
OF ALLEGED POISONER
Doctors Say Mrs. Blydenburgh
Died from Natural Disease,
Not Arsenic.

DES MONIES, Ia, Jan. 2s-Dr. W. c.
Morse. Of Eldora, and DR.. Clark. of Grin
neI testified to-day in the Blydenburgh
trial at Eldora that Mrs. Blydenburgh,
who it is alleged. was poisoned by arsenic
administered by her husband. died from
disease. Both physicians said that in their
opinion it would have been impossible thir-
ty days after death to determine by any
kind of analysis whether arsenic found in
the stomach became lodged there before or
after death. The testimony of these two
physicians formed the strong card for the
defense
Blydenburgh sat with averted face dur
ing the ordeal which he was called upon TO
face to-day while medical men and chem
lists examined the organs Of his dead wife.
with view TO determining whether or not
they had been in a healthy condition prior
10 the illness which caused her death. AT
one time. when DR.. Davis took UP the
heart of the dead woman in order to ex-
plain to the jury some defect in that organ,
Blydenburgh buried his face in his hands.

ALPHA SIGMA BROTHERS
TO TEST DEADLY DRUGS
Homeopathic Fraternity Men at
Ann Arbor May Become Mar
tyrS to Science.
FORT WAYNE VOLUNTEER

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Jan. 2S.-The AL
pha Sigma fraternity will drink an un-
known poison. beginning four weeks from
now with little doses, and increasing the
amount weekly till late next spring. The
alpha Sigma is a homeopathic fraternity,
and the proposed drinking exploit of the
members is known to the medical world
as proving poison" They are following
the example of the New York Alpha Sig
mas, who are drinking the venom of the
cobra TO determine what symptoms it pro-
duces.
DR.. A. E. Ibershoff, Of the fraternity,
announced after a secret chapter meeting,
that only part of the sixteen frat" men
would indulge in the poison drinking. The
men from whom these are to be chosen
are: Ford n. Jones. of Detroit: Harold II.
Baker, Rochester, n. Y; Hugh NJ. Beebe.
Sidney, o.; Leon J. Gibson, Vassar, Mich
Peter Gotfredsen, Manistee, Mich. Corden
Hoyt. Battle Battle Creek. Mich; Frederick TiS ". Y.
McAfee. Gotten, Ont; Harlem MacMullen,
Bay City, Mich: Luthar Peck. Morrison.
Mass; Howard F. Schell, Cincinnati, o.
Arthur p Schultz, Fort Wayne, Ind ;
James w. Sooy, Wayland, Mich: Welcome
J. Tinker, New Lothrop, Mich; Carroll c.
Waggoner, Corey, Pa, and Virgil f. Weir,
Warren, o.
OF these young men all the upper class
men will subject themselves to poison test
ting. The poison Will be one whose exact
effects on the human system are now un-
known. DR.. Ibershoff says that there is no
danger to life, but he has stipulated that
the Michigan men shall not receive any
poison virulent snake venom
The poison is, OF course, taken in a d-
luted form. Once every two hours a swal-
low of IL will be taken. DR.. Ibershoff says,
but only In minute quantities. such will
produce slight i'll feelings, or slight exhilara-
tions. At intervals of a week the amount
of the poison will be increased, giving the
boys systems time to become accustomed
to the drug. At the very end, Dr. Iber-
shoff says, the boys will drink portions
which at first would have made them very
ILL., at the least. AT the end some very
