The temples, the villas. the theaters,

pering their story mayhap to the moon,
yet telling It plainly enough to the
passerby under the common light Of
day-a story of Incidence and frivolity
mistaken by the semibarbaric mind
for pleasure, of gorgeous displays in
public places, mysterious orgies in pri-

chariot racing, human beings fed to
lions-all in mimicry Of Rome, Of Rome

Earthquakes which consist Of two

are known as twin earthquakes. In
Great Britain one in about every twen-

to impulses arising from two deached
foci, separated in different cases from
four to more than twenty miles, but

LIFE IN THE BALKANS.
An Obliging Woman Whose House
Was n Nest Of Smallpox,


Was Nest Of Smallpox.
Miss Edith Durham in her volume of
travel, THE Burden of the Balkans"
tells this little story of life in that re-
gion: "One night man came to us
mysteriously. He said that In his vii.
lage there were three traitors. Before
anything further could be done they
must be destroyed. They could not
be shot, for this would probably bring
down the authorities, and it was impOs-
sible to buy poison because the law OH
the sale of it was very strictly en-
forced. But madame myself was a
friend Of the doctor. No doubt If she
asked him he would write her some
thing that could be put in coffee. Then
the three gentlemen could be asked to
supper and their political differences
quietly arranged. Nor had he any
doubt that should fulfill this humble
request"
OF the dangers Of smallpox and like
diseases Miss Durham says that the
Ba kan people show childlike ig-
nO"ance. She writes: AT one village
WI en- l was leaving l was asked to
give little backsheesh to the priests
fe. Poor woman! they said Two
O. her little children are i'll Of the

herself and is not yet well, but she

and brought it here for your Another
time a woman rushed out of house,
seized me in her arms and kissed me
upon either cheek until l struggled
free. Her three children were down
with smallpox, and this warm greeting
was an appeal to me to give help"

SAN PEDRO. Dec. 21.--A long and
animated discussion was held last
night in the chamber of commerce
over the question of voting tax on
the city to build a free mole or wharf
into the outer harbor. The subject
was discussed in all of its phases but
the general trend of opinion was in
favor of the mole and steps were
taken to further the idea.
In the discussion there was no oppo-
sition to the project by anyone, the
only difficulty being as to how to pro-
ceed and the best plan of the wharves.
1t was also decided to go before the
Los Angeles chamber of commerce and
get the ideas of that body.
A committee of fifteen members OF
the local board was appointed, consist
ing of the following prominent citi-
zens and property holders: Burns,
Hyatt, Karr, Hansen. Steiglitz, Baly
Bickenbaugh, Bautzer, M. p. Coodrich,
Judge j. " Goodrich, Cannon, Storrer
Nicolai, Savage, Chaplain and Adair.
The committee was instructed to use
every endeavor to have at least 1000
feet of water front on the outer harbor
set aside by the trustees for the build
ing of this mole when the proper time
should come.

FIRST SPEECH
BY NEW PREMIER
L-BANNERMAN TALKS
AT MASS MEETING
Question Of Home Rule for ireland
Carefully Avoided--lmportation
Of Coolies to South Africa
to Be Stopped
BY Associated Press.

LONDON, Dec. 29-Sir Henry Camp
was elected premier was delivered here
tonight in Alberta hall before mass
meeting under the auspices of the
Liberal federation. The premier was
supported on the platform by fifteen
members of his cabinet.
The vast auditorium was packed with
an audience chiefly composed of Lon
doners. Next to the premier, John
Burns was the hero of the evening,
He was acclaimed by continuous ap-
plause and musical honors until the
picturesque representative of labor in
the British cabinet was palpably em-
barrassed.
The premier carefully avoided the
question of home rule for Ireland. He
said that the fiscal question was the
prime use of the campaign against a
government whose ministry made =
midnight fitting on a murky Decem-
ber evening"
A feature of Sir Henry'S speech was
his announcement that the government
had decided to stop the importation of
coolies into South Africa until such
time as the question for or against
such importation could be decided by
a South African parliament elected by
popular vote. This was greeted with
tremendous enthusiasm, the cheering
continuing for fully ten minutes.
Speaking of foreign relations, Sir
Henry first expressed kindly feeling to-
ward Russia in the present trial
through which the country is passing
In the case of Germany he saw no rea-
son whatever for estrangement and
welcomed the unofficial demonstrations
of friendship which had recently
passed between the two countries. Re-
garding the United States, France and
Japan, the premier accepted the ex-
listing conditions and approved every
thing which tended toward peace.
Sir Henry upheld this announcement
with another which elected great ap-
plause. He said that the growth of
arrnamentS was a great danger; that
force was not the only remedy, and
that economy must be adopted. The
government would oppose aggression
and would be animated by desire to
remain on the best terms with all
nationalities and to cooperate in the
common work of civilization. In this
he pointed out, the government had q
notable ally In the present fiscal sys-
tenn, which was great guarantee or
peace. He rejoiced that the principle
of arbitration had made great strides.
In general terms the premier outlined
his policy for retrenchment and for
complete system of government by the
people "for the good of the greatest
number In equally general terms he
gave notice that most of the domestic
acts of the late government would be
traversed by the incoming liberal gov
ernment and he made "A powerful Did
for the popular vote.
Women suffragists who had invaded
the meeting waved flags and demanded
that women should be granted the
right to vote.
Sir Henry ignored the Interruptions
and several of the more enthusiastic
women had to be elected during the
meeting.

HUGH WATT CONVICTED
Englishman Accused Of Hiring Agents
to Commit Murder Goes
to Prison
n Aasoclnted Press.


LONDON, Dec. 21.--The trial Of
Hugh Watt. the former member Of
parliament charged with melting hired
agents to murder his divorced wife,
Julia Watt, and Sir Reginald Beau
champ, ended today with n verdict of
guilty. Watt was sentenced to five
years penal servitude
The judge in summing up said It
was the most extraordinary case OF
modern times. Improbable as was the
whole story, he thought 1t was equally
as improbable that anyone could con-
ooct and swear to such charges. The
question of the sanity of Watt had
not been raised, so the jury had moth
ing to do but find verdict of guilty
or not guilty.
The judge pointed out that the death
of the former Mrs. Watt would place
Watt in exactly the position he de-
sired, as It would enable him to legal
ize his marriage to Lady Violet Beau
champ, which Mt present was illegal
because Mrs. Watt had declined to
have her divorce made absolute. Her
death would also annul the deed of
settlement between Watt and Mrs
Watt, which Mr. Watt desired.

SACRAMENTO. Dec. 21,-Former

made the following statement today;
There is no truth i'll the reports OF
trouble between Mrs. Emmons and
myself, and the report that l treated
her roughly the other night is false.
Shortly after my arrival here last
night I received a telephone message
from her saying she would be here in
a couple of days, which means she will
have a new bond.
IT gave myself up voluntarily, pre-
ferring that course to being turned
over to the sheriff. / have learned that,
owing to political conditions in Ba-
kersfield, one of my bondsmen was be-
coming uneasy, and I thought it best
to surrender and release him. j. e.
Yancy, a personal friend and one of
my bondsmen, accompanied me at my
request.
II will complete my bill of exceptions
