NATIVES BEATEN TO DEATH
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, Oct. 21.-France is apparently
on the eve of another great colonial
scandal.
M. de Brazza, the distinguished ex
plorer whose death at Dakar q short
time ago occurred while on his way
home from the French Congo, drew up
a sensational report of the state Of
affairs in that colony.
Parts of it, which form strong in
dictment of M. Gentil, the agent gen.
eral of the French government, have
been published in the Matin. M. de
Brazza accuses him of Incompetence,
want of organization and gross cruelty
to the natives.
The Matin states that M. de Brazza
found M. Gentil was a master in the
art of swift executions. He is accused
of having beaten natives to death with
whips of hippopotamus hide, and of
having shown Gaud and Toque, the
officials who were recently executed
for cruelty, how to hang women by the
feet until they were dead.
M. Gentil, who is ill in bed, declares
that he has a full answer to M. de
Brazza's charges, and brings counter
accusations against the dead explorer.

BERLIN, Oct. 21.-Herr Bebel, leader
Of the social democrats, has inherited
another 25O,00O marks under the will
of an eccentric man named HOLMAN,
who, having quarreled with his rela-

Another Socialist leader whose prop

SCULPTOR TURNS OUT
MANY MASTERPIECES
AMERICAN WORKS ON CAPITOL
GROUPS
George Gray Barnard, at Moret,
France, Completes Beautiful Fig
ures for Pedestals at PennsyI-
vania's New State House
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, Oct. 21.-George Gray Barn
ard, the American sculptor, is hard at
work at Moret completing groups and
figures for the new Pennsylvania state
capitol building at Harrisburg.
Two years labor has already been
devoted to the work, and sixteen of the
thirty-three figures are now in plaster.
The groups and figures are one of the
most important efforts undertaken by a
modern sculptor.
Two huge pedestals, each fifteen feet
high, will form the limits of the wide
stairway ascending by broad marble
steps to the main entrance of the build>
ing. AT the top of the stairway there
are to be three large bronze doors, the
bas-relief decorations and motifs for
which have not yet been begun.
The two colossal groups to be placed
on the huge pedestals are approaching
completion On one side will be the
group of "Lifes Woes" Forming a
counterpart to this, on the other pedes-
tal will be group representing "Life's
Joys"
The first of these groups has for its
point of departure Adam and Eve in the
garden of Eden. The first sin, Cain,
Abel, the serpent, the apple, the tempt
er, the temptress, are harmoniously
idealized. and assembled. Most of the
figures are nude
Each group forms a sort of procession
of two figures abreast, advancing from
the building toward the spectator. The
figures are of colossal dimensions. each
measuring from top to toe 10 feet 5
inches.
The procession of men and women
composing the group OF "Life's Joys"
has for it's inspiration fertility of the
soil. Mutual hope, confidence and en-
couragement at the outset of the strug
gle for life are touchingly presented in
the figures of an elder and Of a younger
brother marching forward arm in arm,
to encounter the perils in quest of in
dependence and success. The mother,
with extended arm, pronounces her
benediction, and urges her sons onward
in the great battle of early manhood.
The thirty-three figures, when done in
plaster, may, if time admits, be ex-
hibited next spring in Paris. They will
afterWard be transported to Carrara,
where they will be reproduced in the
finest marble, known technically as the
"clear white" which, however, is not
pure white, for it has delicate blush
tinge.

Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON Oct. 21.-London medical
weeklies do not take kindly to the pro-
nouncement made by DIR. Behring at the
recent tuberculosis congress in Paris ir
reference to the discovery of a cure fol
consumption.
An article in the British Medical Jour
nal. just out, declares: "It may be
pointed out that so far as the material
which DR.. Behring has laid before us is
concerned there is no reasonable justi-
fication to anticipate any important
progress in the treatment of tubercu-
losis. DIR. Behring failed to convince
the majority of scientists in Europe
that he had done great work when he
delivered his address in Cassel, and II
is not too much to say that if it were
in connection with the diphtheria anti
toxin, this work would not have
aroused much notice."
"It mas been accepted and therefore
one fails to see how this new research
which Is to a certain extent built up on
immunizing experiments, can be even
Professionally accepted. Going a little
further into the inquiry, we are given to
understand that active immunization
which he believed he had previously
produced, could be substituted by a
passive immunization, and by means
Of these antibodies a curative process
can be achieved. This, of course, ap-
plies to laboratory animals, such as
guinea pigs and rabbits, so that even il
DR.. Behring can show later, and others
can confirm his work, that true passive
immunity can be produced on these ami
mails, it does not by any means follow
that the same applies to man."
The Lancet says: Or Behring is q
pathologist OF world wide reputation
with splendid record of past achieve
ments and we may nope that his con-
f1dence in his own work will again be
justified. None the less, we cannot
but deprecate the great publicity which
has been given to an investigation
which at the present time is very fal
from complete.
"It appears to us that such con.
crosses as that at which the announce.
ment has been made have designedly
public character. Their role is to give
opportunities for bringing forward a
finished work in relation to the treat
ment and prevention of tuberculosis,
among other diseases, and to educate
public opinion in regard to these mat
ters.
such assemblies are certainly not
intended for the presentation of an in
complete work or the utterance of het-
erodox views as to the pathology OF
the disease.
ITO bring forward such an investi-
cation and to allow it to be published
III lay journals with all it's complex
technicalities, is to invite misrepre-
sentation, and DR.. Behring has only
himself to thank If he is made to say
things which he never intended.
Another painful aspect of the pub
lIcity which has been given to his
statement is that it is calculated to
1aise hopes which, even at best, can
only be realized in the distant future

damages against G. Arthur Pearson's

agreeing to sell his shares in Harms

the ground that it had ben obtained

BRITISH PUBLIC WANTS
NEW CORRIDOR TRAINS
PRESENT CARS ARE CALLED
DEATH TRAPS
English Railway Officials Say 1t Will
Take From Eight to Forty Years
to Transform Railway Stock and
Make Travel Safe
Special Cable to The Herald.


LONDON Oct. 21.-The shocking
murder of Mary Money in carriage
on the underground railway has re-
newed the outcry, with greater vehem-
ence than ever before, at the back
wardness of the railway companies in
this country, and especially the London
companies, at the antiquated death
traps and prison cell compartments,
as they are called, in railway trains,
for there is no question that were all
trains on the corridor principle, or
were they even like those in other
parts of Europe, with glass panels be-
tween the compartments, so that pas
sengers in one could see what was
happening, If necessary, in another, 1t
would be impossible for attractive
looking girls to be murdered and
thrown into tunnels.
Correspondence in the papers on the
subject of corridor trains is volumin-
Gus. The alarm cord to be found In
most trains is held not to be enough.
In nearly every case it Is so far out
of reach that a weak person, sudden
ly attacked by q stronger, could not
get at 1t.
But the great cry is for corridor
trains, or, in the case of suburban
trains, for compartments running only
half way to the ceiling. Why cannot
this country take more lessons from
America in this respect? is asked.
And what is the answer? Only par
lament can bring about this very
necessary revolution with desirable
speed, and that is regarded as hope
less.
And what of the railway companies,
if left to act as they please? Here Is
what the manager of the Metropolitan
Railway Amalgamated Carriage COM
pany says:
ut would be quite possible for the
railway companies to transform their
carriages into corridor coaches at a
cost of about ten per cent of the orig
inal carriage. If all the railway COM
panies in Great Britain set about the
work simultaneously there is no reason
why corridor carriages should not be
general in about eight years. If, on
the other hand, they introduced new
stock gradually, it might be forty
years before the change would be COM
