CONSUL MILLER'S CASE
GERMANS RAKE UP CRITICISMS
WRITTEN YEARS AGO.

The case of ]. Martin Miller, United
States consul al Aix-la-Chapelle, Germany
has been referred to President Roosevelt
for action. 1t appears that Mr.. Miller, who
was formerly newspaper correspondent, Is
persona non grata to the German govern
ment because of his severe criticisms of the
course of the representatives of that gov
ernment in various International incidents
in Samoa, China, etc. In at least four In
stances he wrote articles rejecting the
action of Germans in their own and other
countries. He published an interview with
Admiral Dewey two years ago, in which
that naval officer criticised the German
navy
Mr.. Miller visited Samoa in 1898, when
Germany, Great Britain and the United
States were in difficulties over the islands.
He wrote article which told how the
German government had deported King
Mataafa and declared they were behind a
scheme to enthrone young Malitaeo, son of
a former king. The Samoans rose in arms
against the attempt, as they said, of the
German government TO intrude in their
affairs.
Mr.. Miller was a war correspondent in
China at the time of the march of the
allied armies to the relief of Peking. He
sent to the United States an account of
difficulty between Field Marshal Count Won
Waldersee and General Chaffee over the
division of rations Of the forces which re-
fiected on Count Won Waldersee.
Another article criticised the Germans for
their alleged iltreatment of Boxers, and
was accompanied with photographs that
showed the method of execution in Yang
Tsung.
Mr.. Miller went to Aix-la-Chapelle sew
eral months ago, but never was able to as
sumo the duties of his office as consul.
He is now in New York city, and has been
called upon by the State Department for an
explanation of the matters complained OF
by the German government.
The State Department officials do not care
to comment on the case, limiting themselves
to the statement that they relate to mat
tcrs which occurred before Mr. Miller went

YELLOW FEVER CASES

NEW ORLEANS, September 4.-Rain and
strike of teamsters made it somewhat
difficult to carry on the work of salting
cutters today, otherwise the yellow fever
situation is exceedingly favorable
Further investigation of the case Of Dr.
Phillip Berg, the first physician to be ar
rested for failure to report yellow fever
cases, develops the fact that the doctor
was to a certain extent the victim Of his
own mistake. 1t cost him fourteen hours
in prison cell. Instead of telephoning to
72S, DR.. Whites Office, he got connection
with 59S, the Emergency Hospital, and re-
ported the cases there. Medical Assistant
Lanaux at the hospital has made an official
statement to that effect and there will
probably be no further proceedings against
DR.. Berg.
Major Charles ]. Bailey, in command of
the barracks here, has offered the services

DAMAGED BY cLoUDBURsT.
Two Villages Near Utica, N. z, Near
" DESTROYED.

UTICA, N. Y, September 4-The villages
of New Berlin and Edmeston were nearly
DESTROYED by a cloudburst which occurred
last evening. 1t had been raining all day
and the streams were very high. About
7:30 o'clock there was a terrific fall OF rain
and in less than thirty minutes the streams
became torrents, which swept buildings
from their foundations, uprooted trees,
washed out telegraph and telephone poles,
destroyed the railroads running through
those villages and washed out great sec
tious of the roads and dozens of bridges
The extent of the damage cannot be de-
tailed as communication was cut Off early
today and little news can be obtained from
the flooded district.
In New Berlin one large house occupied
by Mrs J. NJ. Deming was washed down
the main street and carried away. The
woman has not been rescued. but 1t Is sup
posed that she has been drowned. Three
barns containing horses and other stock, a
blacksmith shop, carriage shops and two
small houses also were washed down the
main street. People who had gone to the
Presbyterian Church to attend services
were Imprisoned in church during the night
with their pastor and could not be rescued
until daylight today, when they were taken
ont on a raft Cellars in all the business
part of the village are filled with water
and the damage is very large. 1t Is stated
that there is no prospect of the railroads
being opened in several days and the high
ways are so badly damaged as to be i'm
passable. large part of the village Of
Edmeston was torn up by the floods and
the damage will amount to thousands OF
dollars Several small towns besides the
two named have suffered severely, but
news cannot be secured from them.

SEVERAL THOUSAND MARCHERs
IN THE PARADE.
Carpenters and Hod Carriers Not in
Line-Display in Other
Cities.

CHICAGO, September l-Ideal weather
conditions prevailed here for the observance
Of Labor day. The union labor parade

the chief attraction. Notwithstanding a

quirtng similarity of uniforms for bands
President Kennedy of the federation an
nounced that the attempt to bar non-com-
plying bands from the parade would not be
enforced. Many local labor organizations
decided not to participate in the parade.
OF the absentees. those most conspicuous
were the carpenters and hod carriers The
carpenters had planned an all-day outing
for members and their families at a SUBJ
urban park. The other building trades
unions arranged for similar separate pro-
grams.
The Efforts Of the police to keep the streets
clear for the Labor day parade resulted in
the accidental wounding today of Mrs Anna
Hopkins during an exchange of shots at
Michigan avenue and Madison street be-
tween the police and a man who gave his
name as William Laska When Laska was
ordered to get back into the crowd he drew
a revolver and began shooting. Men in the
crowd rallied to the aid Of the policeman
on duty at the corner, and Laska, after be-
ing severely beaten was arrested. Mrs.
Hopkins was hit in the back by a stray bull
let and was taken to a hospital In a seri-
GUS condition.
The parade was halted when It was dis
covered that a teamsters' union was
marching behind a non-union band. Com
mittees went into a conference on a street
corner. The trouble was adjusted and the
parade resumed.

PLANT REGENERATIoN.
Discovery Recently Made by William
Albert Setchell.

BERKELEY Cal, September 4.-That the
process of regeneration may be controlled
in plant life is the discovery made by Will
liam Albert Setchell, head of the botany de-
partment of the University of California.
The results of Prof. Setchell's experiments
have been published in a bulletin. The
experiments from which so much of value
to science will come were made on sea-
weed known as kelp.
By controlling the direction of the flow
of the nutrition in the plant DR.. Setchell
made buds grow where they had not
grown before and made the buds at the
end Of the plant which had been the
strongest under normal conditions dwindle
away. This is the first Investigation along
this line in the field of botany, and the
results thus far obtained are of such wide
spreading Importance as to throw a new
light on the regenerative process alto
gether. Prof. Setchen believes that the
problem of polarization may be solved by
experiments on the same line that his re-
cent experiments has opened up.

Chinese ports They have been already de-
scribed in the news dispatches and are
much alike, generally reciting the unjust
treatmen of Chinese merchants and stu
dents seeking to enter United States ports
as reason why the Chinese at home should
refrain from trading with Americans or

YELLOW FEVER IN ATLANTA.
What Representative Livingston Says
Of the Case.

Of the Case.
Representative Livingston of Georgia
came today to look after a few matters in
the departments for his constituents He
will remain several days.
About the most interesting thing I
know" said Col. Livingston, 'is that we
have yellow fever in Atlanta. But don't
think for moment that it posters US
When the scourge struck New Orleans, At
lanta was one of the few cities in the
south that refused to be panic-stricken.
When some other cities were establishing
shotgun quarantines, requiring trains to
run through the town at full speed with
all windows nailed down. in temperatures
of over 100 degrees, Atlanta spread her
gates wide open and invited the refugees
to come in.
"One case of yellow fever was reported
last Saturday. That did not scare US. The
city council met and by a substantial vote
declined still to put in force quarantine
against New Orleans. Atlanta will take
care of its own yellow fever and will not
turn the cold shoulder to the victims of
that disease who are fleeing from less for
tunate cities
When Col. Livingston was asked about
the cotton crop in the south he took on a
very doleful mien. He declined to express
his views for publication, but gave the
impression that he is pessimistic on the
outlook for large crop of cotton.
