THERE WAS q rift last week in the
c,ond which had for weeks lowered over
Chicago incident TO the strike OF the
teamsiers, but the hope of termination
of the troubles has been shattered and
conditions yesterday were more serious
then for several days past, two persons
having been killed in street Conflicts
Both sides were today apparently as
hostile as ever. Il is said to be the
nurpose of certain labor leaders to ex-
tend the strike by enlisting the SYM
pathy of the building trades. Should
This plan be carried out there Is no tell
ING where the movement will end. Al
ready the business interests OF Chicago
have suffered to the extent OF $40, OOO,
600. the teamsters have lost many thou
sands of dollars in wages, while LABOR
organizations have spent quarter OF a
million more in continuing the strike.
The attitude of the express companies
today is firm, they refusing to re-employ
striking teamsters. The Mayor says he
will call on the Governor for troops
should there be further rioting.

Flies As Disease Carriers.

The common honsefy was ciassed as
deadly enemy humankind by DIR. Hen
ry Skinner, entomologist OF the Academy
Of Natural Sciences, who Friday eight
in Philadelphia lectured on 'Insects in
Relation to Disease" before the Ameri.-
can Philosophical Society. Dr. Skinner
included the ubiquitous fly in list of
disease transmitting insects which, it APP
pears, are more dangerous TO the human
race than wild beasts. The housefy was
specially credited with the spread Of tu-
berculosis. DIR. Skinner said that too
little attention was paid by The public to
the scientific warnings issued against
isease-spreading insects. The fly, he
said. was also known to be the means of
spreading gangrene in hospitals. particu-
larry in war camps. Fleas, he said, I'M
doubtedly spread tuberculosis and also
leprosy, and the malarial mosquito now
has recognized place as one OF mankinds
most dreaded ENEMIES. Hairy caterpil-
lars, according 10 DR.. Skinner, are dis
siminators OF disease which has symp-
toms similar TO tuberculosis. That ter

statements which have been made il
regard to the return of eleven slow vessels
of Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet to Indo

ST. Petersburg, May pam inspired
article appears to day In the Novoe

the proposed reforms in Russia, for
which there is so much popular clamor.
The purpOrt of the article is that Russia
cannot consent to terms of peace, which

therefore, most continue.
Every Russian should understand this,

THERE are indications that the beef
truss investigation, which began two
months ago and has cost S125,OOO, will
end in a dismal 6zzle. Two hundred
aud fifty witnesses have been heard OF
the 1926 summoned, and nothing tangible
has been secured upon which to ask IN
dictments. The inquiry adjourned Satulr-
day until June 7, but it is said that be-
fore that date President Roosevelt, realiz-
ing the hopelessness of the cause, Will
order the entire matter dropped. The
witnesses have cost an average OF SOU
each, and many we're only asked one or
two questions after being brought from a

were not familiar enough with the PACK

or get the proper persons before the jury

View of paradise il Over.

Pottsville, Pa, May 22.--After a
trance of nine weeks during which time
strange visions of Paradise and the
spirit world fitted through her brain,
Miss Eliza KiIzliuger, residing near
Orwigs5urg, awoke yesterday. During
the time of the trance her body was rigid
and she partook of no nourishment what
ever, the function of every organ of her
system apparently being suspended.
Miss Kitzlinger attended revival sery-
ices all winter and relatives say the
trance resulted as the elimination Of re-
ligious emotion, but physicians say her
abnormal condition was the result OF the
action of clots of blood on the brain and
nerves.
Miss Kitzlinger will go to New York
today, where her condition will be in
vestigated by specialists.

Want to Return 10 Psalms.

Winona Lake, Ind, May 22.-Disre-
garding traditions, strong element in
the Presbyterian General Assembly is
endeavoring to sound the death knell of
hymns, and it is believed that when the
order of ritual comes up for discussion
Friday fight will be made to have the
church return to psalms. Rev. John
Matthews, of Seattle. Wash, in fierce
speech before the assembly this morning
declared that The work of mis- sionaries in
the far west is retarded because the
churches sing the wrong kind of music
He characterized the present day hymns
as "rag time" Moderator Motiatt also
favored the use of psalms and has recon-
mended to the assembly that this be used
as base for merging with the United
Presbyterians.

the first train was thrown from the tracks
by the force,of the collision, and the back

been for the fact that there is footpath
on the bridge, the car would probably
have gone into the river.

Storm in Texas.

A heavy windstorm, blowing at the
rate OF 20 miles at hcur, struck Fort
Worth, Texas, from the southwest at
$50 o'clock last night. Part of the
west wall OF the Texas Pacific passenger
station was blown in, and John Young,
train dispatcher, was killed. The
storm was most severe west of the city,
and all telephone and telegraph wires in
that direction are down. A passenger
on Texas and Pacific train from the
west reports that the Town Of Mineral
Wells was partly blown away. One
building belonging to the African Meth
odist Episcopal Church at Fort Worth
was demolished. Many business build
ings lost their roofs, including the First

city, recently, close investigation has
been going on to find out all the details
of the plot for the use of these engines
of destruction, and to locate the parties
to the scheme to perpetrate Wholesale

ton has been the seizure of 127 com.

Ships Ruilt in China.

In connection with the suggestion that
the Panama Canal Commission might
buy ships and supplies abroad if OBJ
tainable cheaper than in American mar.
kets, it is stated that eight vessels have
within the past twelve months been
launched from the yards Of the Wham-
poa 5hipbuilding Company, about
twelve mills from Canton, China, for
service in the insular possessions of the
United States in the Orient.
The eight boats launched are 100
feet long, of l 1000 horsepower, and their
contracts called for speed of twelve
knots an hour SOmeof them developed
speed of one-sixth IF knot better
than this over their trial courses. They
cost the government In no case less than
$50, 600 each.
Capt. Harry Strue, formerly of the
United States transport Hancock, super
vised the buildingof these ships and saw
that they were delivered at Manila. He
was acting under Commander James
Helm, captain of the port of Manila. 1t
is said that nothing concerning the
launching Of these vessels appeared in
the Canton newspapers because request
had been made to refrain from making
anything public about the American
ships at the WhampOa yards.
An officer of the United States gov
eminent connected with the Geodetic
Survey, who recently returned to this
country for the benefit of his health after
staying time at Kowloon, China, and
who might be expected, theref re, 10

has confirmed this story that American
government ships were builta Whampoa.

In REFERENCE to the purchase OF sup
plies for the Panama canal the following
"official" information has been given
out:
Standpatters, who still insist that pres
ent conditions be ''let alone" and who,
after catching their breath a few days
ago, busted themselves in an effort to
minimize the importance of the admin
istration's going abroad to buy when
money can be saved to the government,
will find that this policy, fixed and un-
alterable, is to be enforced to the letter.
Nothing short of a Congressional enact
ment requiring the purchase of all canal
materials in the United States will es-
top the commission from enf.rcing the
policy to the letter. The fire of the
high protection batteries is futile.
Now the people await the trusts in
ming.

Ar THE close of Treasury hours Satur-
day the deficit amounted to $37, 224, 76S,
going over the $S7, 900, 900 mark for the
first time since the purchase of the Pan
anna canal strip. Those managing the
financial offices of the country say there
is not the slightest uneasiness, as there
is an available cash balance in the Urea
sury of over 1929, 900, 600, but the fact
remains that the higher the deficit creeps
the farther away it is from the $40, 900
600 mark predicted by some of the ex-
perts of the Treasury Department But
what is deficit of S25, 900, 600 to those
who are running "a billion dollar coun-
try?"

ally of the southern part. The charges

Deafness is the result and unless the intlamma-
