DEFlES DIPTHERIA CURE
Meningitis Spreading in New York
and Supposed Remedy Fails.

NEW YORK, April 11.-There is no
longer any hope that the diptneria
antitoxin will cure meningitis It is
said positively at the Gourverneur hos
pital that the net results of the expert
ments there from January to date
was the death rate of the same per-
centage as prevailed there last year
when the antitoxin was not used. The
treatment was first taken up in this
city by DR.. Edward Waitzfelder, at
Gouverneur hospital. Under his di-
rection during January and February,
the diptheria serum was injected into
II patients, of whom eight recovered.
The meningitis commission and other
officials of the health department ana
physicians and scientists generally
gave an adverse verdict on the serum.
There is scarcely any place where
meningitis does not exist this spring
to some extent. According to the New
York health officials it will gradually
spread until it has extended over every
state in the union.

MIKADo TO HONOR ENVOY.
Takahira to Be Made Ambassador to
Strengthen Japan's Status.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Minister
Takanira has received an intimation
from the emperor of Japan that he
intends raising the rank of mis- repre-
sentative here to that of ambassador
This change, it is said, will be made
Immediately after the close of hostili-
ties in the east, or possibly before that
time The legations in London, Paris,
Berlin and Vienna will at the same
time be elevated in rank. The object
is to establish Japan's status as a
great power and of taking up a more
important position in ner relations
with foreign powers.
The emperor of Japan has been
much pleased with the success which
has attended his representative here
in keeping on cordial terms with the
people. Whether he attributes this to
the natural friendship of the United
States for Japan or to the astute di-
plomacy of his minister, is not known,
but it is certain Mr.. Takahira will
profit by the entente cordiale main
tanned between the United States and
Japan during the war and will be dec
Grated with high honors.

INSURANCE MERGER PLANNED.
Hartman Is Said to Be Back of the
Big Scheme

NEW YORK, April 11.-Coupled
with a declaration by directors that
peace must prevail in the Equitable
Life Assurance company comes the as
sertion that a gigantic insurance mer-
ger is planned.
The agitation given to young Hyde's
case in the Equitable war by E. H.
Hartman, has aroused much curiosity
as to his ultimate purpose. Harri-
mans real purpose, it was asserted, is
to get control of the Equitable COM
pany through Hyde for the ultimate
purpose of forming huge amalgama-
ton of the Equitable, the New York
life, the Mutual Life and the Pruden-
tial Life of Newark. Behind Harri-
man in this stupendous scheme are
said to be the Standard Oil interests.
The combined cash income Of these
four companies is over $26O,000, 900 a
81. 300, 100000.
Preliminary steps in a combination
of this kind were taken a year ago, but
was temporarily abandoned. Part of
the preliminary plans, it is said, in
cluded the Western National bank,
and the National Bank of Commerce
was in the deal. An effort was also
made to have the Fidelity Trust COM
pany of Newark take over the Pruden-
tial Life of Newark.
Any group of officers who could co..
troll the finances of the four named in
surance companies could, it was said,
practically control every financial deal
Of any Importance in the country.
Should Hyde's control of the Equi-
table company, through his ownership
of a majority of it's STOCK be con-
tinued for couple of years, it is said
that it would give time to put the mer-
ger through.

"Honey's" modesty and his timidity
in public is such as to make it pos
tive harship for him to become the
center of attraction in a crowd. Any
thing like a public josh is agony to
him. and the man who boasts about
the Melody coon songs is sure en-
envy.
One illustration of the champion
ship welter's inclinations is demon
strated in this true story.
Jerry Mccarthy and his trainer were
starting out last Sunday morning for
run on the road and they happened
to meet Melody and mis- manager
Jack Mooney, on the street.
"Hu1lo Honey" greeted Jerry
"Ain't you working'?''
mo; this is Sunday" same the sur
prising answer.
Where you goin' then?'
ITO mass" was the reply.
"'Tain't no use fightin' that fellow
grunted Jerry, as he started on his
ten mile jog.

NOVEL PLAN ADOPTED BY COM
PANY ORGANIZED IN PORT.
LAND FOR FAIR
Will Secure Rooms for Out Of Town
Visitors in Advance of Arrival
Satisfaction Guaranteed

| To provide accommodations for the
thousands of people who will attend
the Lewis and Clark exposition during
the coming summer, a company has
| been formed in Portland that mas
| adopted a novel plan. The company is
known as the Portland Service COM
pany and it has the endorsement of
the passenger departments of the rail-
! road companies and the leading bank
ers of the Rose City. Five thousand
available rooms ranging in price from
IS to $25 per week have been listed,
all being in the best residence district
near the fair grounds, in addition to
the hotels where prices ranged from
81 per day upward.
According to the plan a person de-
string a room for any length of time
leaves mis- name with the local ticket
agent, giving him the price that he
desires to pay, the date of leaving for
Portland, the date of arrival in that
city and on which train he will reach
the fair city. This information is sent
to the Service company and a room
is secured for him. Upon his arrival
at Portland he is met by a special
messenger who takes nim at once to
the place selected. For this service ne
pays the local agent when making the
application the sum of 81. He is not
required to pay for the room until he
has examined it, and is satisfied with
the selection made.
The company guarantees to the ap
plicant that the price of the room will
not be advanced above the quotations,
and if the hotel or room selected is
not satisfactory to the applicant, the
messenger will stay with the person
until the entire list of available rooms
are exhausted without any additional
charge.

SPORTS

Jerry Mccarthy is down to the rocks
in his training for the go with Honey
Melody. and is working hard to get
in the best possible shape for what viii
undoubtedly be the fight of his life
writes Willie B. Goode of the Spokane
Press.
Mccarthy is working out each after
noon at the oxford, and a big crowd
is there every day to see the stunts.
Jerry has always been drawing
card in his training, and it is just as
good a show for the spectators to watch
him through the complete program.
Yesterday afternoon there were SO
or more spectators, including business
and professional men, to watch Jerry
go through the motions!
After the morning road work Jerry
is rubbed out and lays up until 3
o'clock when ne starts the indoor work.
He is stretching out the bag punching
and similar work this time and has
quite a stable of boxers to go against.
Yesterday after stretches at the bag
Indian clubs and dumbells, Jerry took
on three men for two minute rounds.
1t is this work that catches the
crowd that waits impatiently for Jerry
to get through with the preliminary
work. The spectators are all stirred
when the big mitts are donned and
they laugh and cheer each popular
move with just as much enthusiasm
as though it were the real thing COM
ing off.
Frank Arnold, McCarthys trainer,
was the last to go for three rounds
and the work started some of the
innocents, who couldn't understand
why Jerry let his hired man" hit him
so hard.
But Arnold's work is always cut
out for him and he goes in to harden
Jerry's face, regardless of what hap
pens to Jerry Yesterday, though,
Jerry let loose couple and Frank
went out of the game at the end spit
ting large chunks of blood.
1t is this hard work which tickles
the crowd and makes popular the
fighting machine who spares neither
himself nor his trainers during work.
ing hours.
Honey Melody isn't down to hard
work yet but is doing light morning
stunts and punching the bag at the
club. Next week Melody will
go into hard training in earnest.
There never was a boxer in the
championship class with so many hon
est peculiarities as Melody. Clean, as
we'll as physically, he is just as careful
in his daily conduct as in his work of

Total Profit
AS stated above, the reports showed
a balance on hand of S5,5SS.66, and it
was suggested by some of the stock

holders that it would have been better
to have had a smaller balance in the
treasury and increased the price Of
wheat, but it was contended by the
officers and others that this could
not have been done with safety to the
company, as the surplus was largely
secured by the advance in wheat after
it was purchased and by judicious
selling of the grain.
A motion was made aud carried to
declare dividend OF 90 per cent on
the stock, and after this is done there
will be a good balance remaining for
conducting the business.
