IRAFFICKlNG IN LIFE
SEVERE IMPEACHMENT OF ' ANTTTOxT1sB TEUsT.
Secretary of Health Department of
 City cf Chicago Issues state-
 mont Regarding Big Advance in Price of Serum.

Chicago Jan. Is.--An offlcIal statement the death trust in antitoxihe was issued today by Secretary F. R. Pritchard of the Health Department of the city of Chicago. The statement is as follows: lea 't
 "The antitoxine trust is nothing more than a traffic in human life. Three con- cerns which manufacture and practically control the antitoxine supply of almost the entire country. have seen fit to arbi- trarily advance the price of their product 100 per cent a
 This discovery was made by the de- pertinent of health of the city of Chicago only few days ago. The department felt compelled to call public attention to this action of the trust and to the evidence that combine had been formed which eff fectually controlled the prices of the only known remedy for the most dreaded scourge to the child life of the country Since the discovery of the antitoxine, the department of health has done all in its power to encourage its use. It has fur nished it's own medical inspector to ad- minister and has pfovided the antitoxine in all cases where people were too poor to purchase 1t.
 ''The horizontal increase in price made by the trust means that the city of Chi cago will be compelled to appropriate double the sum to do the same amount of charity work in diphtheria cases for 1904 that it did in 19o8. Outside of this the burden will fall heaviest on the self-rea specting. self-supporting heads of families of modest incomes. It should be noted that the increased prices quoted by the trust to the city are the prices of the to jobber. This means only the initial or starting point of the advance in the cost of the product.
 The jobber must increase his price pro- portionately to the dealer. the dealer must Increase his price to the physician who purchases from him and the physician must increase his fees to cover the cost of administering this llfe-savinx remedy. This applies not only to Chicago but prac- hcally to the entire country. The public ty already given has aroused the medical profession to the highest indignation.

YOUNG MAN coNrHssEs.
Peterson Says Gambling and wom-
 an Caused Downfall.

New Orleans. La. Jan. 1s.-(specia1)- )- IF. W. Peterson was arrested here this morning by Detectives Kerwfn and Lit tIeton and Detective Murphy of the Fidel- ity and Deposit Company of Baltimore, charged with being fugitive from jus tive from Montgomery.
 It is claimed that Peterson embezzled 5000 of the funds of the Merchants and Planters-Farley National Bank of Mont gomery, while he was acting as collec- ton clerk in the institution.
 Although Peterson would not tell re- porters what he did with the money. making no denial of the fact that he got 1t, he told the officers, so they stated, that 1t went for e woman and gambling. Peterson is .2s years of age. but looks younger. He states that he worked tn banks in Mobile, Selma and Montgomery and until recently had never been in- volyed in any dishonesty. His mother, he states. is a native of. this city and form eriy live< tr Montgomery. She moved to New Orleans and his brothers are em- ployed here. The family lives at Calllope and Carondolet Streets. where he was ar rested.
 Peterson says that he worked in the coll lection department of the bank. He has been employed there about six years. Asked hom he came to fall down he said that it was the usual way, but he would not go into particuiars. He said that when he returned to Montgomery he expected that he would be able to arrange matters and for that reason asked that no publi- cation be made of his arrest. He said that he did not know what amount he was charged with embezzling.
 When asked if he could make a setle- ment if the amount was 5000 he said that he guessed that he could. Peterson referraN to hia abstraction of the funds of the bank as an indebtedness"
 When he left Montgomery he went to Chicago. From there he went to New York and finally drifted to this city. He said that he had few dollars when he left the Alabama city. He came to this city and states that since that time he bad received money from Montgomery and that he has met a dozen people from that place and drank with them.
 Asked if he did not suppose that they would tell on him. he said that he did not know. Peterson does not seem worried about his arrsBt.
 Detective Murphy says that Peterson left Montgomery about six months ago. Until that time 1t was not known that he was ''in'' on the bank When he de- parted without exp.anaticn his accounts were investigated and they were found to be wrong. The Fidelity Company of Bal- timore, which had furnished a bond for him in the sum of 5000, was notified and officers were placed on his trail. Detec- tive Murphy says that he followed Peter son from city to city and finally heard that he, was here. He would not say how he received this information.
 Peterson was locked up in the first pre- cinct station, and if he makes no objec- ton to going back he will soon be on the scene of his crime. ~

READY TO BE WHIPPED.
Japan Willing to. Take the Conse
 ou0ucosi

AAO1SV0s
 London, Jan. l6.-Iu peculiarly frank language Baron Hayashl after converting with tbe foreign office tonight summed up the situation for the Associated Press, az follows:
 'I only hope the Czar will give us peace; but my hopes are not strong. If we go to war, it will be for issues whereon both America and England have insisted dip- iomatically. We have received no pledges from any country that in-tfie event of de- feat it will step in and save us from be- Ing absorbed by Russia. We canot count even In extremities on the armed support of any nation. It would be struggle to the death. Perhaps we are not strong enough to fight Russia. There are two opinions about that" ~ S .-~. -t
 Baron Hayashi intimated that he thought Japan was bound to be beaten in the end.
 If we were beaten" the minister re- stunned, Russia would take Korea and Manchuria by right of conquest. and pos- sibly Japan. No power on earth could then diSlodge her from Central China and all the Far East. l am sure it is better to go to war when you know you are right. even if defeat is possible, than to see your independence submerged under Q continual aggression that is bound to absorb you eventually. Nothing can avert war between NuSSldN anu Jdpdn III IutuIe years even if peacetis procured now so long as Russia pursues her present far eastern policy.
 ''The American action in enforcing the opening of the Manchurian ports was a splendid example of honest diplomacy. It was a straightforward step which con trasts favorably with Russian methods. No other nation except Great Britain, when the British admiralty bought the two Chilean warships has taken any prac- tical step to live up to it's diplomatic de- mands upon Russia and in the far east. We believe We are now fighting a dlplo- matic battle in behalf of America and Great Britain, but if only war can settle it. we know we shall receive assistance from neither. We are prepared to fight our own battles and take the conse- uuences."

WILL NOT PASS DARDANELLEs.
Russia Has No Idea of Utilizing
 Black Sea Fleet.

London, Jan. 16.-In the opinion of the British government the end of the week does not mark any change in the far eastern crisis which more than ever keeps diplomatic circles in London in a state of anxiety.
 The latest and. if 1t had been true. the most serious statement, namely, that Russia intended to risk sending her Black Sea fleet through the Dardanelles, receiv- ed to-day a positive denial from the for eign office. Baron Hayasfh, the Japanese minister, called in Downing street. and was told that after making minute in- quirtes, the British authorities were con- vinced that the report was unfounded.
 Regarding the main issue, Baron Hay ashi and the foreign oflce had no infor- fnation. Neither at the Japanese lega- ton nor at the foreign office is it ex- pected that any trustworthy indication of the Russian action will be obtained for several days.
 The excessive apprehension prevailing in the best informed quarters here, that Russia's answer will precipitate war, is based more on knowledge of the atti- tude Russia has taken during the pre- vious phases of the controversy, rather than on any definite. information of Rus sia's intention under the present acute circumstances. .z.'..-'
 Not even the Czsr's pacific utterances can dispei the fear which pervades Brit ish officials that Russia will not give inc King Edward continues to- use his personal influence to an almost unpre- cedented extent to pefsuade the czar to maintain peaces but the Kings minis ters appear te have practically given up hope 4laat q rssort.to arms can be avert ed' though even the most pessimistic persons do not look for any continuation of the crisis within three weeks {, The suggested intervention, in the shape of rendering their good offices on the part of the other powers, is now urii- versally. declared here to be quite inl- possible.
 How. determined Japan is to face all the eventualities can be judged from the Tact that she is negotiating in England the construction of four battleships, not two battleships as previously reported The negotiations are not yet closed, but the contract is likely to be taken up by the largest English firm within a week. The firm in question informs the Asso- ciated Press that it is decided Japan Is able to carry on a possible war long enough to pay for and use the vessels which, if necessary, could be ready in two years

HICKS STAYS WITH PIIcouE.
Judge Clarke Decides in Favor of
 New Orleans Trainer.

JuoSe Clarke Oec1oeS in Favor of
 New Orleans Trainer.
 New York, Jan. 16.-Legal proceedings for the control of Wallace Hicks, the ne- gro jockey, were today decided in favor of Alphonse J. PlieQue. New Orleans trainer and horse owner. to whom Hicks was apprcnticed by his father in Iouls- lana year and half ago for a period of three years.
 Justice Clark in the Supreme Court, de- nied motion to revoke the contract made with Plicque and restrain him from keep ing the boy as an apprentice, the appel lants claiming that the Plicque contract was secured from the senior Hicks by misrepresentation and that Hicks subse- quently made a second contract with Hamilton M. Wright of New Orleans, by which he and Hicks were to divide the fees earned by Wallace Hicks for a term of years. Young Hicks has been making about $1O,OOO a year.
 Justice Clark, in denying the notice to revoke the contract, said the proceedings sems to be an attempt by Wright to Ob- tain possession of a minor by other means than a writ of habeas corpus. He sald he could see no good reason for making any change in the conditions now exist ing and that the proceeding seemed to be an attempt to get possession of the jockey for the purpose of gain without consult ing his own wishes. Justice Clark said that if the second contract was not one of apprenticeship it must be form of slavery forbidden by the laws of the United States. .- --.~ ,--- ..-,.,

GUARD IS INCREASED.
Trouble May Yet Occur ir
 Seo1l1

Seoul, Corea. Jan. 16.-The American guard at the United States embassy has been increased, Sixty additional marines arrived here last night and are quar- tered in the city at the electric power company's building. The native press is slightly offensive to foreign residents and it Is quite possible there may yet be trouble with Corea. Troops now guard all the foreign residences. probably in sufficient numbers to keep the natives in check, should they begin to make trouble. Foreigners cannot be considered in dan ger.
 A German man of war, has just arrived at Chemulpo
 A change in the personnel of the gov ernment has begun in favor of the Jap anese and as the people have been more angry with the government than with the foreigners, 1t is likly that this change will completely pacify them.

SYMPATHY WITH JAPAN
Russia Wants Peace With All Her Demands.
Believed That Hostilities will Begin as Soon as the St. Petersburg oficial Sends Note to His
 Government.
Advertiser Bureau,
 Colorado Building,


 Washington, Jan. 16. War between Russian and Japan, pef- haps next week. is what President Roose- welt and Secretary Hay see in the Far Eastern sun. They have come to the con cius.on that diplomatic resources have been about exhausted, and as soon as Russia makes reply to Japan's last note, the actual hostilities will begin. No other view of the situation Is taken in official circles here.
 Japan has freely outlined her position to this country, communicating her an- swers and demands to Russia. as if this country was interested in the outcome. This confidence has aroused a most kind- ly feeling for Japan in official Govern ment circles. in fact, so far as personal sympathy goes, Japan will have the good win and best wishes of high officials of this Government should she declare war on RusSia and make a light against the aggressio of the Russian bear
 Wants Peace and Everything Else. Russia constantly cries peace, and pro- claims her desire for peace, but, shorn Of all diplomacy, it is recognized that Rus" sia will relinquish nothing and will make Japan crawl in the dust if that country will do so. Japan, however, does not tn- tend to do any such thing now, and the threatened war is merely being delayed awaiting the most propitious moment for the opening of hostilitles.
 Japan herself Is not as fully prepared as she will be within a short time. She is securing supplies from all parts of the world and has spent millions of dollars in this country in the last few months buying food and war supplies.
 Treasury officials continue to receive in- formation of the arrival of Japanese gold at San Francisco and made payable in1- mediately in New York. That Japan has the money to-pay as shs goes is shown by the influx of the yellow money from the little country. It is estimated that s50Oo,eo0 In Japanese gold has arrived ir the United States to pay for wheRt sna munitions of war within the last two weeks. More gold Is couing. many Of these supplies are now on the water for Japan. and this probably accounts fer the fact that the oficiais of that country have put of from day to day the hostile step which they now feel must be taken first by them. "t Russia has also been buying heavily in the United States. These large purchases are said to account to some extent for HAe large increase in exports in December.

RUSSIA WILL REJECT.
Can Not Accept Japan's Prosposals
 in Entirety.


 in Entirety.
 St, Petersburg, Jan. 16.-It Is already practically certain that Russia will not accept Japan's last proposition as an en- tirety
 Russia is ready to agree to certain points, but on others the foreign office be- iieves Russia cannot yield,
 The officials are of the opinion that the cay is open for continuing the negotia- lions, and there is no indication that Rus Sia will seek to delay her answer, which .Sylll probably be ready in few days. The Czar continues to talk peace and tbe Dowager Czarina in conversation re- parked that war is a horrible thing there will not be war
 In the meanwhile. Viceroy Alexieff and Baron de Rosen as well as the foreign office are studying the Japanese docu- nent. Army and navy circles continue vassimistic. The best feature of the situation is the fact that the Japanese reply has in no sense the character of an ultimatum.
 Many rumors are afiost including a re- mort that an actual naval fight has oc- aurrcd at Vladivostock.

 The Spectator has. previously pointed out in guarded language that such a war was likely to leave both Russia and Japan crippled, neither gaining an ad- vantage over the other, which suggests the deduction current in official circles here that in this event Great Britain would be in a position to further her spheres of influence in the Far East with out fear of Japan becoming a too para mount power in that quarter of the globe. Baron Hayashi said. humorously tonight:
