ed Mine Workers conferred with the
delegates of the PittsbuFg district and
announced that the national organiza-

ton in deposing District President Do
Ian and the officers in sympathy with
him. Pending the result Of new cleo

ization work in that district. Never
theless Dolan said he would still con-
tinue to act as the legal head of the
district.

10 Apology For Mrs. Morris.

No Apology For Mrs. Morris.
In reply to letter from Dr. Minor
Morris requesting an apology for the
forcible ejectment of his wife from the
White House several weeks ago Presi-
dent Roosevelt, through Secretary
Loeb, replied that, after a full and
careful investigation, he had come to
the conclusion that the arrest was JUS
titled and that the force used was nee
essary.
Lock Canal Now Certain.
That the Panama canal when COM
pleted will have summit level of
eighty-five feet above the sea to be
reached by locks, work estimated to
cost $139, 705, 200 and to be completed in
eight and half years, is the definite
conclusion of the executive branch of
the government as shown in President
Rooseveit's letter transmitting to con-
gress the report of the canal commits
sion and letter from Chief Engineer
Stevens. Although the lock canal is
favored by only a minority of the
board of consulting engineers, the ca
nal commission, with the exception of
Admiral Endicott, indorses the minori-
tvs plan, and this is approved by Chief
Engineer Stevens, who says it will
take twenty years to dig a sea level
canal and that it will cost S25.000000
more than the majority estimates The
president cOncurs in Secretary Taft'S
recommendation for the lock canal. He
calls attention to the fact that the
American engineers on the consulting
board by more than two to one favor
this plan, whereas the foreign engi-
neers are q unit against it. He thinks
this Is partly explained by the fact
that the Suez canal is a sea level canal.
Health on the Esthmus.
Chief Sanitary Officer Gorgan of the
canal commission reports for January
that $4,000 were on the roll, that the
average of daily sick was 500 and that
"A deaths occurred, including 26 from
pneumonia. There is no quarantinable
disease now on the isthmus.

The most important of these are: ~
limit the investments of the life colh-

that is, to stop owning stocks or ielau-
ing thereon. It is urged that all exist
ing proxies be declared void ana lflat
policy holders shall choose new BoaFiS
of directors, the present boards 10 ~
out of office Nov. Is next. The COM
mittee would bar assessment concerns
and mutuaiize those controlled by stock
ownership. Deferred dividend policies
should be abandoned and companies "
restricted to accommodating reserve
funds. They would limit new business
to $150,O00,000 a year and insist thae
all dividends be distributed annually
Finally all insurance corporations ia
the state should file annually an lIehl-
lied account of expenses on account OF
legislation. Eight new laws are pro-
posed to carry out the ideas OF the COM
mittee.

The railroad rate regulation bill in

shall have the power to review orders
made by the interstate commerce COM
mission, and this was understood to
have been accepted by the conservative
element of the Republican side to be
added as an amendment to the Hep

whether this would meet the approval
of the president or not.

Photographinq Live Germs.

Photoaraphing Live Germs.
Unofficial announcement was made
at Boston that Professor H G. Ernst
of the Harvard medical school had dis
covered a method of photographins
bacteria which makes it possible to
watch the life OF diseased germs, to
watch the effect Of medicine upon them
and to see new facts as to their form,
which has heretofore been clouded in
mystery. The Ernst method consists
in the use of ultraviolet rays Of the
spectrum, which are invisible to the
eye. Under the present method no
picture vf germs is made until they are
colored in chemicals. The coloring
kills the germs.
A Marvellous Measurement.
!. An instrument of such wonderful del
icacy has been constructed by Pro-
fossor 2. E. Shaw of the University
college, Nottingham, England, that one
seventy millionth part of an inch can
be measured. The apparatus has to
be suspended by rubber bands from a
frame in felt covered box, and it
can be used only at nighttime when all
factory machinery in the vicinity is at
rest The machine has already been
applied to practical use ia the i'm
proyement OF the telephone, as it will
measure the smallest audible move
ment of the diaphragm. 1t is also eX-
pected to serve as a delicate coherer
in wireless telegraphy and possibly in
determining the movements OF the
molecules of matter
Birds Don't Fly So High.
The use Of an astronomical telescope
to determine q fact of bird life is de-
scribed in the February Popular AS
tronomy by Professor Stebbins Of the
University of Illinois. He and Dr. Car
penter of the geological department
measured the height of migrating birds
by using two telescopes stationed some
distance apart, thus showing that the
birds do not fly SO high as most author
tiles had supposed In May the height
of nine birds varied from 1900 to 2,400
feet, and in October the same number
ranged from 1,40O to 5,400 feet. In
both cases. however, a majority OF the
birds observed flew lower than 1,2OO
feet

Freezing Out Pneumonia.
Experiments recently conducted by
DR.. Thomas S. Dunn at the Fordham
hospital, New York city, lead to the
conclusion that pneumonia as well as
consumption may be cured by exposure
in cold air. Since Nov. 1 he has had
thirty pneumonia patients in an open
tent, and every one has recovered
where the trouble was not complicated
with other diseases. During the same
time he has lost cases where the pa
tents refused to have the. windows
opened in their sickrooms.

Railroad Rate Bill.

The Hepburn railroad rate bill as
amended by the senate provides:
That the interstate commerce
commission shall investigate charges
of unjust and unreasonable rates of
common carriers.
If Determinations are found, the
commission is empowered to fix a
just and reasonable maximum rate.
Orders of the commission 60 into
effect within 30 days and continue in
force for two years, unless set aside
by the commission or court.
The penalty for disobedience of
the orders of the commission is a fine
of S5, 600 daily.
United States circuit courts shall
have Jurisdiction over suits to annul
acts Of the commission, the granting
of interlocutory DEGREES without
hearings aud making appeals direct
to the supreme court.
Oil pipe lines, express and Sleep
ing car companies are declared COM
mon carriers.
The commission has access to the
accounts of the companies affected.
What the bill will contain when
the committee of conference of the
senate and house of representatives
gets through with 1t, only time will
tell. 1t Is already limited that the
oil pipe lines and the express com.
panies amendments are to be stricken
out through the Rockefeller influ-
ence, and the fact that most of the
influential Republican senators and
members Of the house have express
company franks lends color to this
report.
