lutte and Isdlsputable Test

New Orleans (Special).-The yellow
fever germ has been found. Careful
tests during a period of four weeks a
the Emergency Hospital by DR.. P. E
Archinard, DIR. ]. Bierney Guthrie anC
Prof. ]. c. Smith, biologist of fame
have resulted in the discovery and iden.
tihcation OF the germ, which, after CON
veyance by the stegomya mosquito
causes yellow fever in all persons into
whose blood it enters. In nearly dozer
cases yellow fever was diagnosed or
the appearance OF the germ in the pa
tents blood, although there was nc
other signs of yellow fever.
Any physician, It is said, can now
identify the disease in its first stage:
before the well-deined symptoms have
appeared. The discovery is said to fur
nish an absolute and indisputable test
OF the scourge of the tropics, and can
not be COMPOUNDED with the germs Of
malaria and meningitis, or any OF the
diseases which resemble yellow fever in
its earliest developments. The life his
tory of the organism which DR.. Archi-
nard found was followed, and its pres
ence in the blood OF yellow fever pa
tients confirmed.
Then diagnosis was made by the mi
croscope of the blood of every patient
who came into the hospital, and since
this was begun the diagnosis has later
been followed by symptoms of yellow
fever. In some cases the patient when
examined showed no symptoms whatever
of the fever, but in every case when
the microscope diagnosis revealed the
germ the patient within one, two or three
days developed albumen and jaundieed
condition of the skin, showing the char
acteristic clinical picture of yellow fever
A physician of the Marine Hospital
Service said: "The profound signih-
canoe of this discovery cannot well be
overestimated. Its benefit to the South
and to humanity is great"

BoYs As SAFE BLOVTRs.


New York (Special).-No more sue
cessful job Of safe-brcaking could hsv'
been done by the most noted erimina
than the one in the Office OF Edward L
Diamond, candy manufacturer, Of vii
liamsburg, which was blown open BY two
boys. twins, IS years old, who have con
fessed to the crime and implicated an
other young man, 10 years old.
So sure was Captain Gallagher. OF ihs
Bedford Avenue Station, that it was IN,
work OF professionals that he had litil,
hope of learning anything OF value wher
he questioned the brothers, Charles ant
John Brady, but they at once confessed
and said the work was directed by John
Rogan, 10 years old.
Mr.. Diamond recently purchased q
large new safe, which he was told was
burglar-proof. Since he had il installed
in his office Mrs. Diamond has been keep
ing her jewelry in ii in a tin document
box. On Friday night she told heI
husband she did not believe the iewelry
was safe, and tried TO have him bring il
to the house, but he assured her the
new safe was burglar-proof. He also
assured her by telling her that, while he
had no Waterman inside his factory,
there was one who patrolled the block.
Early Saturday morning Mr.. Diamond
heard muffied sound, but thought II
was his horses in the stable in the rear,
and as there was no more disturbance
he dismissed the matter from his mind.
Following his usual custom, he went to
the factory at o'clock in the morning.
He found the door of his new safe blown
off.
1t had been his custom for years to
have a large amount of money, nearly
always more than 81 1000, in his safe on
Friday nights, as ordinarily he did not
make his deposit until Saturday morn
ing. But for some reason which he
cannot explain he made the deposit FRI
day afternoon.
It could be seen where the burglars
had tried to wrench off the combination,
but had only bent it little. Then they
had bored hole about one and half
inches in diameter in the upper left-hand
corner of the door, into which they had
put the explosive, probably dynamite.
Before lightinging the fuse they had
wrapped around the safe the four horse
blankets which had been taken from the
stable to deaden the sound of the explo-
sion.
On the floor were found three jim
mics, drill and bit and other imple-
ments of craftsman, which confirmed
the belief of the police that it was pro-
fessional sob" After the safe had
been blown open the tin box containing
Mrs Diamonds jewelry was taken to
the rear of the factory, where it was
found later with the jewelry gone.
In the box were five gold watches, one
pair of diamond earrings, one diamond
ring, two lockets and chains, three
breastpins and 10 gold rings, including
Mrs Diamonds wedding ring. The jew
elry was valued at about $3.50, and be-
sides this the burglars took $II in cash
and S. in postage stamps.

WANTS COUNTRIES COMBINED.
President Roosevelt Thinks II Safest for th
Panama Canal

Washington (SpeciaD.-The visit of
the Panama Ministers of Foreign At
fairs to Costa Rica to negotiate treaty
of annexation is regarded here as a sig
nifcant development of an idea which

KILLED In PRIVATE CAR
New York Limited Crashes Into q Local
Train.
CAR WAS OUT ON A TRIAL RUN.
Accident Caused by Open Swith At Psoli
Station, on Pennsylvania Railroad-The
Men Killed We're Railroad Men In Private
Car Of General Manager Atterbury, Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad.

Philadelphia Especially. "A rear-end
collision between thu eastbound New
York Limited express from ST. Louis
and local passenger train, which was
standing at the Paoli Station of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, 10 miles west
of this city, resulted in the death OF
five men and the injuring of more than
20 others.
All those who met death were in the
private car of General Manager After
bury. which was attached to the rear
of the local. train. Mr.. Atterbury is on
his vacation IN Maine. He expected to
return about October 1, and his car
had been overhauled preparatory to send
ing it to Maine to bring him home. 1t
was sent out in the forenoon for test
run and was attached to late after
noon local train from Paoli for this
city.
In the car at the time of the collision
were about dozen men, who had been
engaged in overhauling the car. Those
who were not killed were injured.
.Paoli is the terminus of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroads suburban traffic on the
main line, and large yard is located
there for the storage of cars and en-
gines. The local train was made up in
the yard on the north side of the rail-
road and switched across to eastbound
track No. on the south side and came
to stop at the station. Before the
switches could be set the New York
Limited came along at moderate speed
on No. eastbound track, took the
cross-over switch and crashed into the
local train.
The force of the collision was so great
that the engine of the limited .plowed
10 feet into the private car, and the lat
ter was forced halfway through the
day coach ahead.
At the time of the accident there
were fewer than half dozen passen-
gers in the local train, and they were
in the forward cars, which were not
damaged. The engineer and fireman of
the limited were not hurt, but dozen
persons on this train were injured by
being thrown against seats and the sides
of the cars.
Nearly all the injured were at once
placed on the forward cars of the local
train, which was run to this city as
special 1t stopped at Bryn Mawr, where
half dozen of the injured were taken
to the Bryn Mawr Hospital, and the
others were brought here and sent to
various hospitals. Some of the slightly
injured on the limited did not leave
that train, which also proceeded as soon
as another locomotive could be obtained
from the yards.
Four of those who lost their lives were
killed almost instantly. The fifth man,
Richard Garland, died in the University
Hospital, in this city.
