COLLEGE DIVIDED;
FACTION LEAVES
TROUBLES OF oSTE0PATHS
MAY REACH COURTS
Professors and Students From Des
Moines Hold Mass Meeting and
Quit Pacific Institution.
Many Charges Made

With expressions of the friendliest
sympathy and heartiest cooperation
the members of the faculty and stu
dents of the Pacific College of Osteop-
athy and the Still College of Osteop-
athy, formerly of Des Moines, Ia, said
good night at big reception Thursday
evening. Friday morning there was a
breach between the two institutions
that can be settled only in the courts.
Charges of breach of contract have
been hurled indiscriminately by both
colleges.
Last fall the Des Moines institution
sold out to the College of Osteopathy at
Kirksville, Mo-, and attempted to puy
a controlling interest in the Los Ange-
les college. This was refused, but a
contract was finally drawn whereby the
Des Moines college agreed to bring it's
faculty and 100 students to Los Angeles
and enter into partnership with the
Pacific College of osteopathy.
On arrival in Los Angeles the stu
dents of the Des Moines school failed to
register and the faculties of both in
stitutions bickered a little, but 1t
seemed that the differences had been
patched up.
Thursday evening the students of the
Pacific College of Osteopathy gave a
reception for the new students and
members of both faculties were pres
ent and expressed themselves delighted
to be in cooperation and in such per-
feet sympathy and accord. They parted
for the evening with many wishes for
success.
Yesterday morning when the students
of the Pacific College of Osteopathy
went to the school they found the mem
bers of the faculty and all the students
of the Dest Moines institution locked in
a large room where they were holding
a mass meeting. 1t is said they refused
to admit the Pacific Osteopathy college
people and finally left the school in a
body, declaring that they would open
another school in Los Angeles.
They at once rented a large room and
will open a new school next Monday.
The Pacific Osteopathy college off,
cials say they have contract with the
Iowa people prohibiting their opening
another school in Los Angeles within
three years of the signing of the con-
tract. The Des Moines school claims
that the Pacific Osteopathic college has
violated it's contract and therefore all
agreements are void. The cases prob
ably will be taken into the courts.

EXAGGERAT|ON IN
FEVER ACCOUNT is
so DECLARES MANAGER OF
THE PICAYUNE
New Orleans Newspaper Man Says
Many of the Startling Stories
Sent Out by Correspondents
Were False
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-In an inter-
the New Orleans Picayune, who is in
this city for a few days, said yester-
day that the reports regarding yellow
fever in New Orleans have been highly
colored. many of them being the work
or irresponsible correspondents.
"The stories about great panic among
the people of the city, fight of scores
of thousands, amounting almost to de-
population; complete stagnation of
business, extreme filthiness of streets
and concealment of the existence of
fever after it's discovery, are grossly
exaggerated" he said, while such
ridiculous tales as the burial of dead
at night, yellow fever flags on every
square, stoppage of street car service
and the discovery of COW stabbed in
the sleeping and living apartment of
a large family on the third floor are
absolutely without the slightest founda-
ton in fact.
Business has been hurt, of course,
but not to the great extent that is sup
posed. The retail business has suffered
from the absence of more people than
usual and the great economy of those
who remain who have postponed pur-
chases, waiting to be assured that the
fever could not develop into a serious
epidemic.
Wholesale trade is crippled because
drummers cannot travel, and also be-
cause some country dealers utilized ex-
listing conditions to sell out old stocks.
Nevertheless, wholesale grocers and
merchants in some other lines are do
ing fully as we'll as last year, and
shipping to nearly all points tributary
to New Orleans"
Referring to the work of those who
are fighting the epidemic, MIR. Rapier
said:
"The wonderful educational CAM
paign of the last two months is des-
tined to have the most far-reaching
beneficial effect on the growth of New
Orleans We no longer fight in the
dark, we know the enemy and with her
destruction will come renewed pros
perity and such rapid and solid devel-
opment as must astonish even the most
sanguine friends of the Queen City OF
the SOUTH"

SHANGHA|ED BY
A BRITISH SHIP
CHARGE BY OLD MAN AGAINST
THE CANADA
John Powell Declares He Was Cap
tured at Gulfport, Miss, and
Taken to Rio de
Janeiro
Ry Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-John Powell,
6S years of age, who says he was
shanghaied, appeared before Vice Con-
sui Smithers today to press charges
against Captain Munro of the British
ship Canada.
Powell swore out affidavits yesterday.
The alleged capture of the old man took
place at Gulfport, Miss. He escaped at
Rio de Janeiro and followed the Canada
to New York. Yesterday the Canada
paid off here and Powell found the cap
tain in the office of the British CONSUL
ate.
Powell declared himself last night as
a laborer engaged in handling lumber,
his home address being in Mobile, Ala.
He was employed at Gulfport, when
the Canada took on a cargo of lumber
there for Rio de Janeiro. She signed
several new hands, but she was still
four men short of her full crew, it is
said, the proper number being % men.
From the streets of Gulfport about 8
o'clock in the evening he decleres he
was shanghaied.
"Twisters" were put on his right
hand. he says. and he was placed
aboard a tug where he says he met Cap
tain Munro, to whom he protested. How
ever, he was carried to the Canada,
which sailed within thirty minutes.
Until the ship reached Rio de Janeiro
the old man had to do his share of the
work in wind and storm. The work
came hard on him, and he determined
when he reached Rio de Janeiro to fight
for his release. When the ship made
port the captain went ashore to the
consul. Powell followed. He declared
he got no satisfaction from the British
consul Nor did he get any money from
the captain.
The old man had to beg food. He
hung around the docks looking for a
ship to take him to New York, whittier
the Canada was bound. He found one
in the bark Egaria. Rough weather fav-
ored the old mans cause, for it badly
hampered the Canada and almost at
the same time the two vessels arrived in
New York.
Lawyer Abbott examined the articles
of the Canada yesterday at the British
consulate. He says Powell's name does
would had he signed.

PARIS, Sept. 22.-Before Paris thea
ters reopen the Temps has been enter
tanning the readers with reviews of
the dramatic art in other countries,
concluding with an article on the
American stage from notes supplied by
Maurice Grau. He says: America S
dramatic art, though still young, is dis
tinguished by the absorption of the ma
ture talent of all races going to make
the American people. On the other
hand, it may be said that an American
dramatic art does not exist, for people
with business cares look on the theater
only as providing amusement after the
days work.
Although many plays are produced
in America, most are of European i'm
portation. But as the people have an
intuitive love of the beautiful certain
banal dramas and operas, successful
in Europe, have failed to draw in
America"
Artists Are "Astonishinu"
This article makes certain reserves as
to American dramatists, limiting that
there are too many adaptations, but
none whatever concerning the artists,
who are truly astonishing" Ameri-
cans, in spite of statements to the con-
trary, have considerable taste on the
stage. They want the best and most
magnificent. No truly great artist ever
failed.
The article states that the American
little appreciates the opera comique, as
understood in France. With regard to
opera, touring companies triumph for
the reason that the country is poor in
good voices, male especially.
After referring to his italian seasons
at the Metropolitan, Mr. Grau lays
stress on the fact that he has given a
preponderating place to French works
and artists.
In twelve years he never produced an
American opera, not because he de-
spised their productions, but none in
in his particular field seemed worthy OF
production. Moreover, American artists
are more important than authors.
on this point education has to be
made entirely. Vaudeville and musical
comedy do much harm to opera.
Mr.. Grau has great hopes for the fu-
ture of America.

Venezuela Orders Guns

inquiry makes IL perfectly certain
that Venezuela has placed orders at the
Creuzot works for eight field batteries
and four mountain batteries, the latter
consisting of four guns each.
1t was announced from Caracas Sep
tember 20 that the Venezuelan govern
ment had that date made the following
reply to the protest lodged September
19 by M. Taigny, the French charge d.
stations of the French Gable company
and the expulsion of the manager of
the company, Brun:
THE government holds documents
proving that the French Cable conf
pany has accepted the result of the
judicial proceedings brought against it.
The government is only waiting to es-
tabl1sh new relations between it and
the company. M. Taigny, the French
charge d'affaires, knows this and
therefore the protest can be only con-
sidered as an act of personal hostility.
For this reason the government will
abstain from treating with the French
government through M. Taigny."
The semi-official Temps this evening
printed leading article rejecting Of
fetal sentiment on the subject. 1t is
said that M. Taigny had been ordered
to insist on Venezuelas withdrawing
her offensive refusal to deal with him.
If the withdrawal is made and Presi-
dent Castro makes an apology then
negotiations will continue. If Vene-
7uela does not accede 1T will be unwise
to Immediately break off diplomatic re-
lations by withdrawal of M. Taigny
since this would leave French interests
unprotected. The best course would
be for France and the United States
to make joint naval demonstration
similar to that in which Great Britain,
Germany and Italy took part.
The authorities here say that ex-
changes will occur at Washington
relative to the mutual interests in
volved in the pending controversies.

Rv Associated Press.

PARIS. Sept. 22.-The offensive at
the French charge d affaires at Cara
cas-, has aroused indignation here. AL
though the ministry has not yet taken
definite action it is said in the highest
quarters that Premier Rouvier un-
doubtedly will demand that Venezuela
disavow the offensive action and adopt
a course conformable with the usual
courtesies of diplomatic intercourse.
The Venezuelan authorities are now
seeking to show that their action was
directed against M. Taigny personally
and not against the French govern
ment, but the officials here do not ac-
cept the distinction between NJ. Taigny's
personal and official capacity. He has
high standing at the foreign office
where he recently served. He also
aided Ambassador Cambon at Wash
ngton during the most delicate phases
of the Spanish negotiations. Therefore
there is no intention here to permit
Venezuela to make a scapegoat of him.
The official directly charged with
handling Venezuelan questions ex-
planned the general status of the con-
troversy as follows:
Venezuela supports the closing Of
the French cable companys inland
stations on the ground of the decision
of the Venezuelan courts. France does
not question the general right of the
courts, but maintains that the decision
izing the executive branch to seize and
shut up the cable stations.
Moreover, only a day before shut
ting up the inland stations Venesuela
gave assurance that General Vilutini.
the Venezuelan minister at Paris.
would take steps to adjust satisfac-
torily the question. Therefore M.
Taigny protested on the ground that
the courts decision did not justify
closing stations. This protest was not
NJ. Taigny's personally, but followed
specific instructions from the foreign
office. Therefore it is impossible to
raise personal issue. A separate ver-
bal protest was made against the ex-
pulsion of Manager Brun of the French
Gable company on the ground that the
right to expel foreigners does not apply
to M. Brun, who was permanently
domiciled in Caracas. 1t is to be ex-
pected that a demand will be made
that Venezuela disavow the action
taken. The subsequent course of
