CLEAN CONDITIONS FATAL
TO JAMAICAN NEGROES
Fresh Linen and Ain Too Much
for Blacks at Work
on Canal.
WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Perfect
sanitation and clean linen are proving
fatal to the West Indian negroes em-
ployed on the Panama canal. Although
Colonel Gorgas and his assistants have
banished yellow fever and other tropi-
cal fevers which made the canal zone
one large burying ground for the
French canal builders, they have found
that sanitary precautions taken in the
quarters occupied by workmen make
the jamaican negroes especially sus-
ceptible to pneumonia and other throat
and lung troubles.
West Indians are not accustomed to
an abundance of fresh air and we'll
ventilated, clean quarters. Living for
generations in small huts where large
families crowd into rooms tightly
closed against the night air. the
negroes from Jamaica and other tropi-
cal islands have developed lungs with
cramped capacity and especially sus-
ceptible to changes of temperature.
The officers in charge have found
that the West Indian laborers cannot
be induced to eat sufficient wholesome
food to keep them In good health, even
when supplies are furnished TO them
at cost price and meals are made at
tractive at great expense to the Canal
Commission.
Chief Engineer Stevens of the Canal
Commission, Governor Magoon and
other men Identified with the work on
the isthmus have agreed that lack of
lung capacity and insufficient nourish-
ment, rather than laziness, are re-
sponsible for the inability of the West
Indians to perform an amount of work
equal to that done by white laborers
from Spain.

Fifteen suits for the restoration of
title to real property in San Francisco
were filed with the County Clerk yes
terday. 1t was the first day on which
such actions could be commenced under
the operation of the McEnerney law,
and a special clerk was provided to
take charge of these cases. as the law
requires that they must be handled
consecutively.
While the rush to file cases was not
as great as expected County Clerk
Mulcrevy states that he believes the
end of the week will see many more
proceedings of this nature.
To secure clear title IT will be ne
cessary for property owners to file such
suits, for most Of the original grants
have been destroyed. According to the
new law, these cases may be brought
any time within the next three years,
though. of course, the sooner they are
brought the sooner is everything clear
again. and by the machinery that has
been provided titles may be restored
within ninety days after the case has
been commenced. The defendants in
each case are designated as follows:
"All persons claiming any interest in
or lien upon the real property herein
described or any part thereof"

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

HAMMOND. Ind, July 16. - Two
transcontinental auto tourists appeared
in Hammond yesterday considerably the
worse for wear, and two stories were
told as to the cause of their injuries.
The autoists were J. Svoboda OF San
Francisco and his nephew Carl, 20 years
old. The youth suffered from a broken
nose. blackened eyes and a gashed
cheek In addition he had several welts
on the upper portion of the body. The
elder man also had several welts on his
arms and hands. The autos main shaft
was broken, and the machine was bad
y damaged otherwise.
Svobooa says that when five miles
out Of Michigan City early IN the morn
ing they came upon a man trying TO
calm a frightened horse. AS they passed
the man attacked them and then fed
on his horse. In endeavoring to pur-
sue him. Svoboda said, their machine
struck a ditch and caused the shaft to
be broken.
From Michigan City, however, comes
a different story. 1t is Of a collision
between a runaway team OF horses
hitched to a heavy farm wagon and an
automobile IN which two men were
scOrching. Both vehicles were ditched,
and the irate farmer is said to have
taken a heavy strap and gone back to
the auto, where the men were making
repairs, and TO have lashed them fear

This enterprising merchant has had

detected by them, made brief visit
to this city,
Here the American ordered the jew

took to him the richest collars, worth
a Kings ransom" The millionaire
picked up the most costly collar, ex-
amined 1t pearl by pearl. then asked
laconically:

jeweler whispered.
Then, lest the price seem too high,
he began to explain:

Silence" the American answered

The entertaining piece of news con-
cludes by stating that at this climax
the jeweler was nearly prostrated by
his mingled emotions.
Very many persons now go to the

Rockefeller has in pearl necklaces.
The French newspapers almost unan-

untrue that an Ohio Sheriff will ar

try by every means to worry an old
