WOMEN ON ISIHMUS
REPORT OF NEGOTIATIONS FOR
 IMMORAL PURPOSES.
Jackson Simth, Manager of Labor and Quarters, Tell What Has Been Done for Decent and Clean
 Living.

Washington. Nov 17.-word was re- ceived from the Isthmus of Panama at the office of the Isthmian Canal Com mission today that rumor was in cir euiation there that 150 women who ar rived recently from Martinique and who had come with large number of 1aborers for the canal as the members of their families. had really been brought for immoral purposes.
 This rumor was referred to Jackson Smith, manager of labor and quarters on the Isthmus, who Is in Washington on official business connected with his department, and he made the following comment:
 we are recruiting laborers from Jamaica, Rarhadoes. Marfinidue and other West Indian territory in large numbers and great many of them are bringing their families and are mak- ing their home on the Isthmus.-.. The families of our laborers are solving the problem of chambermaids, house ser- wants and domestics of all classes as we'll as being the only laundry workers at the present time. We do not re- ceive women for the work and only bring them along with the individual who has been long enough in our ser- vice to demonstrate his ability as a first-class laborer, and has accumulated enough to send for his family.
 We have certain camps set aside as married quarters for our laborers, which are for the exclusive occupancy of those with families. each family being given a separate roonl and the bachelors or unattached laborers are not assigned quarters in these camps, but are placed in barracks to which we assign from twenty tos forty men ac- cordlng to the size Of the building. These buildings in every instance are carefully looked after by our watchmen and the districts or settlements are policed by the zone officers.
 T have seen laboreIs on construction work in the sUnited States. Mexico, South and Central America, as we'll as certain West Indian territories, and there has never been an instance of such care exercised as to sanitation, comfort and proper living as has been and is being perfected on the isthmus."
 The Panama Railroad Company today received the following cable message from Chief Engineer Stevens. in refer enee to published reports of freight cdn gestion on the Isthmus:
 Freight on docks and railroads cleared up; conditions normal"

Two Female Dancers Suppressed by the
 Police
 The police department of Montgom- cry has shown a determination not to allow Egyptian or other suggestive dances in shows of the Street Fairs.
 The police have found no shows of this character connected with either the Robinson Amusement Company or the Cosmopolitan Amusement Com pany, but the police did find a sepa- rate and distinct tented show on Bihb Street. near the First Baptist Church, Thursday night under the name of "Gibson Girls. Living Pictures" which has been suppressed.
 The management of this attraction, 1t was reported to the police early that night was carrying on one of these prohibited entertainments. That in- aid. He sent officers to Bibb Street and the show was promptly closed for the night
 Yesterday morning the same man agement moved the location of this suggestive show. carrying two female dancers, from North Court Street to the intersection of Monroe and North Lawrence Streets. Another attempt was made to conduct the performance, but the police were soon informed of the change in location and it was a very short time before the tent was again closed. Since that time the manager of this amusement has had no performances. He went to see the Chief of Police yesterday morning and gave his word that his dancers would perform only in dresses hereafter, but the manager later learned that the

James Ord Was Educated at George
 town University.
 New York, Nov. 17.-That the British legation at Washington paid the tui- tion of James Ord. the reputed son of King George ". and his lawful wife Mrs. Fitzbert; that British ofi- cers visited Georgetown University where he was Mained. and that the original Ord bore striking resem- plance to the English king Is the gist of a statement made yesterday by Rev John W. Fox. s. J., president of St. Petersburg College. Jersey City.
 Father Fox was at Georgetown University for many years and was intimately acquainted with the Jesuit James Ord. Father Cox said:
 Father Curley died at the age of s4. I recall distinctly his speaking of the Ord mystery, of the lineage of a young student whom he knew as a boy at the university. He told me in those days, the latter part of the eighteenth century. young Ord was spoken of as one of royal birth. Fa- ther Curley told me particularly that the bills contracted by young Ord were met by the British legation and that in his time the British officers fre- quentlys visited the institution to in- quire for this young Ord. The two eldest sons of this Ord attended Georgetown University when Father Curley was stationed there as a priest.
 T met James ord in 1884 did not broach the subject, but when he gave me his name I recalled Father Cur ley's story. Although bent wits age there was kingiy bearing about him.
 James L. Ord, the Western Union Telegraph Company Superintendent in Chicago, is, direct descendant of the original Ord, and believes himself the legitimate grandson of King George ", and the legitimate heir to the estate of Mrs. Fitzherbert, said to be worth $5,008. .D0e."

COUNT OF FLANDERS DEAD.
Was Brother of Leopold and Heir to
 Bel@ian Throne.


 Bsussels, Nov. 17.-The Count or Flanders. brother of King Leopold, ana heir to the throne, died at l1:30 o'clock this morning. Death was due to in- hammation of the respiratory organs. The Count was born in 1887.
 The new heir to the throne of Bell gium Is Prince Albert of Flanders, only son of the late Count of Flanders. Prince Albert was born April s, 1875, and was welded October 2, 1900. to Princess Elizabeth of Bavaria. They have two children, Prince Leopold. born November 8, 1901. and Prince Charles, who was born October 10, 1903, Prince Albert is one of the most popu- lar members of the reignlng house or Belgium. He Is of a etudious dispo- sition and bears striking resenb" lance to his uncle. King Leopold Prince Albert has travelled extensively His wife. Princess Albert, Is also very popular with the Beigians.
 It Is possible that the Belgian social ists will cause trouble when 1t is pro- posed to transfer to Prince Albert the present annual grant of $4o,00o paid to the Count of Flanders as heir appar- ent. When the late Count proposed some time ago to renounce his success sion in favor of Prince Albert. the so- eialists, who have always denounced the Count for accepting this grant ID view of the fact that he was enormous ly rich. announced their intention of opposing in the strongest manner pos sible the transfer of the grant.

COTTON SEED IN ENGLAND.
Good Market For Products in British
 Isles.


 Washington, Nov. 1.-The govern ment crop report in it's latest issue prints a report from London showing that for cotton seed and the products derived therefrom. there is more ex- tensive market in the United King dom than exists in any other country of Europe. The cotton seed industry of the United Kingdom. dependent wholly for it's supply of the raw ma terial upon imported seed. products an exportable surplus of the chief pro duet, oil. but is still heavily depen- dent upon foreign countries for it's supply of the by-product. the popular and valuable cattle food, oil cake
 The report says; The 3commerclal distribution of the products is con fined almost entirely to the United Kingdom. For the Kingdom as a whole there has been a decline In re- cent years in the importation of cot ton seed, but the decline has been more than made good to the crushing industry by increased importatlons of flax seed and rape seed. the imports of the former having been doubled and those of the latter having increased by one-thiTd within two years"
