FEW Err IN q Az AN A
AUTHORITIES HOPE TO CHECK
SPREAD OF SCoURGE.

A dispatch from Havana, Cuba, says: Lit
tie Improvement In the yellow fever situa-
ton in this city can be expected before De-
cember 1. 1t is hoped the spread Of the
disease, which has alarmed the sanitary
authorities more than they will acknowl-
edge, will then be checked.
The reason for the alarm has not been
50 much the number Of cases as the widely
separated places in which the fever has
appeared. These show that the infected
spots are not confined to one section of the
city and make it very uncertain where a
case will next be discovered. The scattered
foci are SO numerous and new ones are sc
constantly being found that 1t is like fight
ing fire that no sooner Is supposed to be I'M
der control in one spot. than It breaks out
in another.
The only conclusion to be reached is that
the poison turks in all parts of the city
and that thorough general cleaning up OF
Havana is necessary before the fever can
be stamped out The Cubans are fond OF
saying that they have carefully followed all
the directions left by the Americans four
years ago as to fighting yellow fever. and
that Its temperance must be due to out
side contagion that has slipped by the
United States marine hospital quarantine
service. They are quite sure 1t is not due
to the neglect Of local sanitary measures.
The United States health authorities will
enter lIltO uO controversy over WHO IS 10
blame. The facts would seem to settle the
matter. There have been forty-four cases
Of fever in Havana proper. seven in the
suburbs of the city, three in Jesus del
Monte. two in the Vedado and two in the
Carmelo. Nine of these cases have proved
fatal
Began in October.
The outbreak really began In October of
last year when there were three cases after
four years immunity following the cleaning
up of the city by the Americans. Seven
more appeared in November and twenty-six
in December. In the whole time there
have been 122 cases and thirty-two deaths.
On the temperance of the fever in Oc-
tober 1905, and it's revival in Junue, 1905,
after three months immunity, it might be
possible case did slip by quarantine and
thus start the epidemic afresh in some spot
In Havana. But the supposition that a
large number got by and scattered all over
tho city where the disease has appeared Is
regarded absurd
Breeding places for mosquitoes were al
lowed to be re-established and maintained,
and, however the fever germ got into the
city, It found any number of opportunities
to exist from one end of Havana to the
other. No greater revelation Of the undoing
Of the great work of Col. Gorgas, who
cleared Havana of yellow fever, could be
presented. His successor under the pres
emit American occupation, Maj. Kean, has
put into operation the former methods, and
by December he hopes to reduce the dan
ger by wiping out the scattered foci

CONGO CONCESSIONS
NOT ONLY RUBBER, BUT COPPER
AND RAILROADS.

A Dispatch from New York says: The
concessions secured by American capitalists
In the Congo Free State are much more
comprehensive than has been Indicated In
the cables from Brussels and the state
ments made In this country since Thomas
f. Ryan returned from abroad. They
Include not only exploitation of the india
rubber resources Of the state but a fran
chise to construct a railroad and mining
feases over a territory rich IN copper and
half as large as Alaska They mean, IL Is
believed. the end OF that exploitation OF the
Congo Free State by King Leopold, which.
while 1t has made the king and many of his
subjects vastly wealthy. has led to protests
from England and France and has aroused
puonc indignation In most of the countries
Wncn look part In the Berlin conference
OF LISA. Those business interests of King
Leopold. In other words. which, II is
charged. have operated to the ens,ayement
OF hundreds Of thousands of natives and to
the torture or death OF thousands besides,
pass out OF HIS hands
Terms Practically Settled.
The consideration to King Leopold per-
sonaiiy and to the Belgian government as
well as the method OF payment by the
concesslonaires, IS withheld for the present,
as are other details of the agreement. All
as practically settled, for to ALI OF them
King Leopold and the parliamentary lead
ers have agreed. But the parliament has
not formally voted approval. and until that
is done there will be 40 detailed announce
ment from the New York capitalists who
secure the concessions. 1t is expected
that the formal approval of parliament viii
be secured this week. '''-
The rubber concession will so. as pre-
viously announced, to the American Congo
Company, which was Incorporated after
Mr.. Ryan's return to this country. The
resources Of over g. 100000 acres of land.
which in the past have been operated
profitably as to make King Leopold one OF
the weathiest men in the world and to
make Independent fortunes for many OF
his associates. Interested in the company
are Thomas F. Ryan. the Messrs. Guggen-
helm. Harry" Payne Whitney Edward b.
Aldrich. son of Senator Nelson w. Aldrich
of Rhode Island, and John d. Rockefeller.
Jr.
Men Who Are Interested.
The same men are interested in the Con-
tinental Rubber Company, a crude rubber
concern, but it was stated officially yester
day that the American Congo Company
will be entirely Independent of the Con-
tinental Rubber Company and of the United
States Rubber Company, which is the larg-
est manufacturer of rubber goods in the
United States and also has crude rubber
subsidiary.
The persons interested in the American
Congo Company, with the exception of
Messrs. Aldrich and Rockefeller have IN
hand the formation OF a mining company
to work the mining concession. The pro-
jectors of this company are confident that
the mining concession will not be at al less
profitable than that for the extraction Of
rubber,

The Hair.

In cases where the scalp Is too dry and
the hair brittle. a little oil rubbed In
nightly will not spoil the texture OF the
hair nor make 1t too moist for curling pur-
poses, but will. on the contrary, improve It.
In applying the oil, however. care
should be taken to rub it into the scalp
and not on the hair itself, and a thimble
should filed with oil. the hair parted in the
middle. and with finger dipped in the
oil the parting" should be gently mas
saged, the hair being further divided and
the whole scalp treated In like manner.

TO ADVANCE HEARING.
Motion by the Solicitor General II
Railway-Rate Case.

Solicitor General Hoyt has entered a
motion in the Supreme Court of the
United States to advance the hearing in
the case of the Interstate commerce COM
mission agt. the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway Company. involving the legality
of an order by the railroad company made
in 1902 by which the rate on the prepared
products of live stock was reduced with
out making a corresponding reduction in
the rate on live stock itself.
The complaint in the case was made in
the interest OF Chicago on the ground that
the rate resulted In diversion from that
city to Missouri river points Of live stock
shipments which would otherwise go into
Chicago, the effect being to build up those
markets at Chicago's expense.

IN APPLICATION FOR INJUNCTION
AGAINST GAMBLING AND LEAS-
ING HOUSES FOR JOINTS
COURT HAS NO JURISDICTION
In Absence Of Special Statute or
When Property Interests are mol
Involved.

Judge Dickerson issned six de-
crees this morning in the cases
wherein the Government applied
for an injunction to restrain per-
sons from gambling and from rent
ing buildings in which gambling is
carried on or malt liquors sold.
The DEGREES sustain the demurrer
filed by defendants and dismisse
the cases.
This proceeding was begun some
time ago. Assistant U. S. Attor-
ney Hamilton represented the gov
ernment and Attorneys Riddle and
Hays, the defendants.
The DEGREES declare that as a
court Of equity this court has no
jurisdiction in such cases. A
large number of cases were cited
by attorneys for the defendants
wherein it was held that in the alb
sense Of special statute or where
the rights of property were not in
volved. a court of equity had no
authority TO grant an injucntion to
prevent the commission of crime.
With so many authorities bearing
on the subject, the court could not
do otherwise than to sustain the
demurrer.

LEGAL POINT IN
NJ MAHOM CASE

Judge Baker has overruled the defend
ants demurrer in the case OF James Nc
Mahon and wife VS.. Frank NJ. Bates. city
treasurer OF Pawtucket.
Ii Is claimed by the plaintiffs that the
city OF Pawtucket. in doing come work
on Pond street In 1899 dumped large guam
titles OF dirt on the westerly side OF Prai-
rie avenue, choking up and preventing
several springs OF water from flowing into
Dunnell's pond The water from the
springs as a consequence, flowed into the
cellar under plaintiffs house and dam
aged the cellar and two lots OF lard. The
plaintiffs ask 1900 damages.
The main contention OF the city OF Paw
tucket on demurrer was that suit should
have been brought against the Dunnell
Manufacturing company. Judge Baker
does not agree with that contention and
says:
AS to the question OF the authority OF
the defendants agents to do the act COM
planned OF. the declaration charges that
these acts were performed by the de-
dendant by its agents, servants and en-
ployes. which | think is proper and suf-
fclent allegation. II the proof shows that
the acts OF the agents were not author
ICED. the plaintiffs could not recover"
The declaration. as a whole, Is held to
state a case. Joseph Osfield, Jr., is coun-
sci for plaintiffs.

CUMBERLAND

The Democratic leaders got together
last evening for the purpose Of discussing
matters pertaining TO the coming elec-
tion. The meeting was held In the town
hall and therewas a feeling OF confidence
in the result of the approaching election.
1t is becoming more and more apparent
that the Democratic ticket is going to
be elected from top to bottom.
The party Is united as IL has not been
before In several years while the ticket
that was nominated a week ago is con-
sidered a remarkably strong one
on the other hand. the Republicans
placed ticket in the field which is weak.
II was dictated by the party boss and
the rank and file had little or nothing
to do with its selection. In consequence
OF this there is no enthusiasm in favor
of its~election.
At the meeting last evening the whole
situation was gone over very thoroughly
and the indications for a big vote were
very encouraging.
WILL OMIT PICNICs.
For quite a number of years Court Lilly
OF the Blackstone has held on each re-
curing Memorial day a picnic in Chace's
grove in Central Falls Plans for the
picnic this year had been made and a
permit had been secured from the board
OF aldermen I'm that city. Within a day
or two II has been learned that num-
Der OF fakirs had planned to take advant-
age OF the picnic and locate their stands
and vehicles near the picnic grounds and
as a consequence the affair Is TO bbe
given up.
