LECTURES ON SWITZERLAND.
Madame Lohry Entertains Large
Audience at Washington Club.

Nine Lohry, the Swiss humorist de-
lighted a large audience at the Washington
Club. ITO | street northwest, last evening
with an entertaining Illustrated lecture on
modern life in Switzerland Stereopticon
pictures were thrown upon the canvas as
Nine Lohry told her story To those who
have never visited Switzerland the beauty
and grandeur of the country was graphical
ly pictured. The audience was largely
representative of the Swiss population of
Washington, and pleasant memories were
recalled to many of those present who were
born and reared in the old country as the
speaker told of its scenic beauty
Nine Lohry wore native Swiss costume
and this was an interesting feature of the
entertainment. The progress and develop
nent of the country was wildly portrayed
as the lecturer carried her hearers from
place to place and told incidents drawn
from the habits and customs of the people
The speaker proved herself a humorist,
and at times evoked hearty laughter by
her witty stories. Nine. Lohry regards
Switzerland scenery the grandest to be
found in any portion of the world and the
pictures of its scenery, she said convey
but faint idea of its surprising grandeur
10 the mind of one who has yet to view it.

Anthropologists Meet.

Mr.. Frederick V. coville and DR.. d. S..
Lamb read papers before the Anthropo-
logical Society of Washington at the regu-
lar meeting of that body Tuesday evening
at the Cosmos Club. Mr. Coville's paper
which was entitled "A Native Moxa of the
klamath Indians gave a description of
the means employed by tribe OF Indians
in curing sprains, rheumatism and other
muscular ailments. 1t was explained that
the term ''moxa" was the equivalent or
the word cautery. and that the savages
would heat a piece OF wood or weed re-
ducing ii to the form of sawdust, and ap-
plying 1t to the affected part. 1t would
then be set on fire and allowed 10 burn
deep into the flesh. Mr.. Coville said that
a similar form of counter-irritation could
be traced back through the ages.
DR.. Lambs paper was styled anatomical
Vestiges in Human Organisms It dealt
with comparisons in the structural FERNS
of the anthropoid ape, other animals and
man.

Mr.. PIERCE ACCEPTS
GOES TO AUSTRALIA IN SERVICE
OF z. n. q. A.

Lyman L. Pierce. whose retirement as
general secretary Of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association Of Washington was an
nounced early in December and who has
since been taking a much-needed rest to re-
gain his wonted vigor, has accepted a call
to a special mission among the Young Mems
Christian Associations of Australia. The in
vitation to undertake this important work
came to Mr.. Pierce some time ago In ten
tative way. but was not definitely accepted,
owing to the uncertainty of his personal
plans, and especially the condition of his
health. which has seemed to make 1t lmpos-
sible for him to continue in the association
service at all. Numerous other invitations
have come to Mr.. Pierce to specialize, both
in the association work and in other relig-
tous organizations He has finally con-
cluded to accept the commission to
visit the Australian associations and
spend two years there. probably in promot-
Ing the American type Of Young Mems
Christian Associations.
In his recent visit to Washington Mr. John
r. Mott, whose tour of the world in the
interest of the Christian Association move
ment has enabled him to make first-hand
observations Of the various fields, made the
statement that Australia presents one of the
three greatest opportunities in the associa-
ton world today, and that the invitation to
Mr. Pierce to take up the direction Of this
growing work was not only a compliment
TO washington, but the evidence Of the ap-
probation Which the leaders of this move
ment nave of the genius of Mr.. Pierce in
dolng Dig things in modern way.
Associations History.
The Young Mems Christian Association In
Australia has had an interesting history.
Some associations In that comparatively
new country are almost as old as the par
ent organization in London. The oldest is
Auckland, in New Zealand
Visitors like Mr. Richard c. Morse OF
New York, John R. Mott and Fred Is.
Smith report that the associations have not
progressed as rapidly as those in North
america, but that the outlook for the future
Is most promising, and that Sydney, Ada
lside, Brisbane, Hobart and Melbourne are
row among the cities prepared for an en-
larged work after the type of the larger
American cities.
The most promising feature about the
held is the quality of the laymen interested.
Al conferences and institutes, at meetings
OF boards of directors and committeeman
American visitors found business and pro-
fessional men equal to any of those in our
American associations.
1t is probable that Mr.. Pierce will leave
Washington in March, going by way or
Great Britain, France, Italy and India, and
combining thus a sojourn In Europe with
some institute and in conference work 1T
Paris and Rome, where there are now
thriving associations, and visiting Mr..
Grace, Washngton's representative at Al
lahabad.
will give Mr.. Pierce a farewell dinner at
the new association building Wednesday,
January 81. Mr.. E. s. LaFetra is chairman
OF the dinner committee.

EXPECT PACKERS TO ESCAPE.
Moody and Garfield Try to Dodge the
Blsme

Anxiety to escape responsibility for the
defeat of the government In the packers
case has caused a rupture between the De-
partment of Justice and the Department OF
Commerce and Labor, according to dis
patch from Chicago last night. That the
pleas of immunity filed by the packers will
be upheld by the courts is now the belief of
the chief representatives of the government,
and the question now agitatlng them is
whether Attorney General Moody or Com
missioner Garfield of the bureau of cor
porations will be the scapegoat.
1t is authoritatively stated that Attorney
General Moody, Notwithstanding unusual
stress of official duties at Washington, has
determined to visit Chicago and take charge
of the case in the hope of saving his official
reputation.
He believes that by doing so he will be
credited with doing all in the power OF the
Department of Justice to convict the pack
ers and responsibility for a failure Will be
charged to Commissioner Garfield.
Commissioner Garfield arrived at Chicago
yesterday and Is prepared vigorously to re-
sent any attempt of Attorney General
Moody to make the Department of Com
merce and Labor bear the odium of the
policy pursued by the government in the
prosecution of the packers.
The packers declare that they will prove
beyond question that Commissioner Garfield
promised that certain information given by
them would be held in confidence by the
nevertheless this information was used by
the Department of Justice as a basis for the
indictment and prosecution of the packers.
The packers propose to let both Commits
sioner Garfield and Attorney General Moody
explain why they are being prosecuted on
evidence which they were forced to give
against themselves. Attorney General
Moody will have an opportunity to explain
why single document produced by one
official of the Santa Fe sufficed TO give i'm
munity from prosecution to the railroad and
all its officials and employees, while the
packers are being prosecuted after being
compelled to turn over to the government
hundreds of books and other documents.

No Menace to This Country

AS the result of reports that the Brazilian
government would discriminate in its new
tariff against United States goods, the Bra
lillian minister of foreign affairs. Baron Rio
Branco. yesterday sent a cablegram on the
subject to the Brazilian embassy here, ex-
planning that although Brazil has a protec-
tive tariff and duty has to be paid on many
OF the imported goods, the tariff is in no
way directed against importations from the
United States and In many instances is
rather favorable to it.

No PREFERENCE
IN BOND MATTH

The circular letter sent by Clerk Of
the Supreme Court Henry Smith TO the
district magistrates. notifying them
that they must furnish bonds, has
caused some comment owing TO the fact
that Smith In them indicated that the
bonds should be taken out with the
Pacific Surety Co. for which the Ha-
waiian Trust Co. Is agent. Smith. how
ever, explains his attitude In a letter
written by him to the Treasurer, which
reads in part as follows:
Il am now sending OF request to
each OF the several district magistrates
and others TO qualify In various
amounts, and telling them to at once
communicate with the Pacific Surety
Company, through the Hawaiian Trust
Company, It's agent in Honolulu; at
the same time, will inform that sure
~ company that | have referred to 1t
the various officers OF this department
in the matter OF qualifying. | do SO
for convenience, not because OF any
preference on my part. But ! will take
good care to tell the officers, as COM
missions expire from time TO time
There are now a good many which will
expire In six months, some before and
some after, with the idea, that the sec
ond surety company and the third sure
~ company on your list should have
their turns In the order given. As |
have the dates when commissions
should expire, there ought to be no diff
iculty in regulating time when the
next company should have its turn"
As one company charged $40 for a
bond under $4,000 and the Pacific only
charged &c. the magistrates were fur
ther notified, on he order OF Judge
Frear. that while the Court had no
preference In the matter OF companies.
they must pay any excess over the SO
themselves.
