 The bank failed last summer in the absence of the cashier in the east, where he had been for several weeks. When he went away, he left the bank in charge of a business man of Yuma, who was not overwhelmed by the new duties thrust upon him, for the busi- ness of the bank had shrunk away to nothing. At the time it was started, it did a very good business. The cap ital and most of the deposits were loaned on agricultural lands out of the city, in which there was, at that time, the greatest confidence. Finally there ceased to be any deposits.

 If his present plan is carried out, and the governors and other we'll known and trusted men become mem bers of a policy holders committee, it might be reasonably expected that practically all or at least an over whelming majority of all the proxies would pass into their hands.
 Governors of states are not always elected with reference to their busi- ness qualifications, and many of them. perhaps, would be indifferent. if not unfit members of such a committee. It is not MT. LawsOn's plan, thoungh that such a committee would be perma- nent. It would be a make-shift pend ing state or national supervision.

TIT. Lawson's Plan.

Whatever objections may be uIti- mateIy raised to Thomas W. Lawson's plan for the protection of the policy holders of the three big life insurance companies, that of creating a policy holders committee consisting of the governors of the states and certain prominent citizens. it will be argued in favor of it that no other plan can be prepared quick enough to meet the ex- igency which has arisen. or rather the exigency which has been disclosed by the investigation now in progress.
 It would certainly be effective in changing the management of these companies. The plan is a variation, an amplihcation of one proposed by Nr. Lawson several months ago. when he issued a circular inviting the pol icy holders of the New York Life and the Equitable to forward their proxies 10 him to be voted at the meetings of the companies in opposition to the existing mana gements.

Fever, Faith and Frost.

The frequency with which the yellow fever has been about to be stamped out in New Orleans since it's inception, that epidemic in a pulverized or pulpy condition. It is. however, intact, though, by reason of the advancing season of lesser proportions.
 But, notwithstanding the greatly i'm proved sanitary conditions and the inn proved methods of warfare against the disease, it seems as if it would run it's usual course. It has been something to discover that the mosquito is at the bottom of the trouble. if he really is, for an open foe may be fought to bet ter advantage than a hidden enemy, but still the mosquito appears to be unconquerable by human means, how ever scientific and skillfully directed they may be, Jack Frost must deliver the finishing stroke, as he has always done. Science has succeeded in mak- ing his work easier. It must be con- ceded that the extent of the ravages of the fever has been greatly lessened. put IL HdS IdlLeu 10 DIiIlS tue eIlu near er

 The optimism of the health author tiles throughout the bIackest days of the scourge has done a great deal to keep up popular faith, and so keep down the disease. Therefore, the fre- qUent failures utterly to stamp out the disease, according to variously ar ranged schedules, may be overlooked.

"53 Cottage St., Melrose, Mass. Dear Sir: Jan. Il, 1904. Ever since was in the army, I had more or less kidney trouble and within the past year it became so severe and complicated that I suffered everything and was much alarmed-my strength and power was fast leaving me- I saw an advertisement of Swamp-Root and wrote asking for advice. I began the use of the medicine and noted a decid- ed improvement after taking Swamp Root only a short time.
 "I continued it's use and am thank ful to say that am entirely cured and this, I had 9 doctor examine some of my water today and he pronounced it all right and in splendid condition.

WELL KNOwN IN PHOENIX
Tanner, Whose Bones are BleachiT g
 on the Desert.

That the man whose disjoint- ed remains lie strewn along the desert beyond Winters Wells was Marion c. Tanner, was made quite sure by The Republican S story yesterday of the ghastly discov- cry which two Mexicans reported at Salome last Friday morning.
 Several persons were found yester- day who knew Tanner well but no one knew anything of his antecedents or relatives if he had any. Though he was on the rolls of the Soldiers Home at Sawtelle, Cal, it does not appear that he had actually been at that insti- tuition for a long time but he had spent the greater part of his time in this part of the country on leave of absence which was renewed every three months according to the regulations of the home.
 Tanner was about sixty years of age, a small, inoffensive man but given to excessive drink when he had money.
 He was frequently found in the jus tices' and police courts, after his ar rests on the street in a helpless condi- tion. He usually succeeded in drink ing himself to the verge of delirium tremens. He would then be locked mp and on his release would find occupa- ton on a rancn or camp as a COOK He would not appear in the city until the time for the next payment of his pension had come. On receipt of the money he would enter upon another prolonged debauch. This was an al- most unvarying program.
 The letter of D. w. Hall to The Re publican describing the finding of his bones stated that about three weeks or a month before, Tanner had nad a check cashed there and left for Phoe- nix in the company of another man. That led to a suppOsition that he might have met his death by foul means; that he had been killed for the small sum of money he might have had. A man who knew Tanner well said that Fan ner could not have had any money at the time ne left Salome for Phoenix; that he would not have left a place where liquor is sold as long as he had a cent.
 It was stated in the story of the find ing of the body that it would probably be brought to the city this evening. The reporter was unfamiliar with the geography of the country and its mag nificent distances. It will be impossi- ble to reach the point described in Mir Halls letter before tonight so that the dead wagon with the bones of Tanner will probably not reach Phoenix be- fore late on Thursday night.

c.o this evening, commenting on the appoint
ment OF Felipe Pardo as Peruvian minister
to the United States, says 1t Is necessary
that Peru should be prepared In new d.

to Brazil OF Mr.. Root, the American Secre-
tary of State. to attend the Pan American
congress at Rio Janero, II 1t should be
held there. Peru is not wavering before
the future, the paper adds, and 1t applauds
President Roosevelt's initiative and says
it is assured that closer relations between
the United States and Peru will bring 10
Peru more capital and more enterprise.
The fears of some of the Spanish-Amerl-
can nations regarding the United States,
the Commerco says are inexplieable ana
the ideas of conquest held by Peruvians
are absurd. Commercial sway by the
United States, the paper contends, should
be desired, as it would result in the Poop

gons. Senior Pardo the Commerce. con-
cludes, holds these ideas and is the right

This Is not to say that there Is any ns,.

OF the former author of Progress and

For a Big tuberculosis Congress.

Far more important than any of its prede-
cessors will be the international congress on
tuberculosis, which will be held In this
country In 1908 according to the opinion OF
DR.. Lawrence F. Flick of Philadelphia. DR.
Flick has decided upon a general plan,
which he outlined last evening in an adj
dress at New York
The entire plan, however, is conditional
and depends upon the success of the COM
mittee on arrangements in an effort to
raise at once a sum of money sufficient TO
carry the plans into effect.
DIR. Flick believes that 100000 VIII be
sufficient for the purpose, and suggests that
twenty wealthy men be invited to contrf-
butte 50 coo each. 1t is his intention. If ne
Is successful In getting this fund together
at once to place the money on deposit I'M
mediately and permit 1t to remain und .
be used in defraying the expenses OF the
congress. and the accumulated interest Will
be distributed In prizes.
These prizes. in the opinion Of DIR. Flick.
will go far toward insuring unusual sue
cess to the congress itself, and at the same
time will have an immediate and far-reach-
ing influence in the warfare against the dis
ease. One of the most important prizes will
be given for the greatest reduction In the
death rate from tuberculosis In any city OF
100000 Inhabitants during the three years
from 1905 to 1908. Other prizes proposed
will be for the best exhibit OF objects enter

A Story In Point
TO FIGHT AMERICAN INVASION.
Lower Shipping Rates to South Afri-
can Ports Needed.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, December 2.-An important
step toward the lowering of the shipping
rates upon goods sent from Great Britain
to South Africa is being taken A men,
Der of the South African merchants COM
mittee explained the situation as follows
Where an American manufacturer
makes the same sort Of goods as a British
manufacturer" he said, "the cost OF car
riage to the ports OF South Africa is In
favor of the American goods. The bulk
of the goods sent from England to South
Africa go at the rate of SOS. per ton. A
little while ago the rate from America was
from 15s to 20s. per ton. That very low
rate was due, of course, to the American
freight war; but that is over now, and the
American merchant has to pay the ship
owner from 25s. to 27s per ton against
our British 30s.
I'VE hope some good will come out Of
the colonial Office conference, the date of
which Is not yet fixed. 1t Is suggested that
the government should fix all the freight
rates, putting the carrying of the goods out
to tender. and there is good deal OF specu-
latfon as to whether the government will
do this as an outcome of the conference.
At present the carrying of British goods to
South Africa ports Is In the hands of the
Conferences fines These are tho Union
Castle Line, Bucknal Brothers, Clan Line,
Houston e. Co., Ellerman, Harrison u Co.,

ment authorities in South Africa and the
