ATTACKS ON VACCINATION

 No law can compel me to have my children vaccinated," he said, land the state had no right to pass it. It ought to be repealed" Dr. Dobson said that vaccination had already stamped itself on the people of this state in a num- Der of wretched diseases, and that new born babe should not be sacrificed. He said it was Gods death blow to the English house of commons, "and as we were fashionable we probably would have to follow the act of the house of commons, and continue as we are.'
 The speakers for the retention of the present compulsory law argued that it was for the best interests of health in as much that records showed that con- tagious diseases were checked by no other means, in many cases, than by vaccinations There were strong argu- ments on both sides, and the interest taken in the hearing was keen, as the supreme court room, where it was held, was crowded, many women remaining during the entire afternoon.

Secret Chest Found in Former Home of
 Mayor Schmitz,

San Francisco, March 2S-Louis Glass, vice. president of the Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph com pany, was arraigned before Judge Law Tor in the superior court to-day on nine grand jury indictments charging him with having bribed supervisors. T. c. Coogan, counsel for Glass, asked for one week in which to plead. This was allowed, and $9,O0O bail bonds on which Glass is at liberty, were allowed to stand.
 Superior Judge Lawlor to-day, inn mediately after the arraignment of Glass on the nine bribery counts re- turned against him, issued thirteen fresh bench warrants for the arrest of Detwiler, and fixed bail at s10,OOO on each of them, a total required surety of $130,O00.

WILL NOT INTERVENE NOW.
This Country and Mexico to Let Gen.
 trnl American HostiIities Proceed


 Washington, March 2S.-The moment has not yet arrived when America and Mexico can intervene to stop the spread of war in Central America. This was the decision arrived at as the result of conference between Secretary Root and Ambassador Creel at the state de- pertinent to-day. The secretary also had the benefit of the advices received by the diplomatic representatives of the Central American states from their own governments.
 The absence of definite information from the seat of trouble is embarrass- ing to the officials, who are desirious of bringing about peece. It is feared that the collapse of the BoniIla government in Honduras and the consequent in- stallation of the provisional govern ment in accord with that of Nicaragua will result in a combined attack by them upon other Central American re- publics The apprehension of such a movement has greatly alarmed all of the other states, and it is said that Central America, after an unusually long term of peace, is now being rap idly turned into an armed camp, in readiness to repel attack from any quarter It is said that there is no dis position on the part of this government to play the part of policeman toward these sister republics, but it would well come any proper opportunity to restore peace.

MOUNTAINEERS NEED NEW
 FIELDS.
Peaks of Alps Nearly All Accessi,

Peaks of Alps Nearly All Accessible by
 Rail-Road Up the Matterhorn.
 It is possible that in the course of a few years ambitious mountain climbers will be compelled to transfer the scene of their efforts to the mountains of North and South America, for the peaks of the Alps are nearly all access sible by rail at the present time, and the engineers have designs on these which are yet untouched by ties and tracks. Of course, the presence of the railroad does not interfere with those who desire to climb to the top of a mountain, but the experience is robbed of it's charm when one is compelled to cross and recross railroad tracks con- stantly, and the trip is robbed of the element of danger, excitement and thrill by the knowledge that the anna teur climber may stop and wait for a car when he has tired of the climb
 The latest engineering scheme of this kind is that which is proposed to the top of the Matterhorn. ''The Philadel- phia Record" says. It was thought, because of its precipitous slopes and jugged structure, that this peap would be free from rails for all time, but two engineers have made application for permission to build line to it's top. The view from the top of this moun- tain is so grand that there is con- stant stream of visitors during the sea- son, notwithstanding the difficulties and the cost of the climb.
 The only oppression which has devel- oped to the scheme is from the Alpin- ists who reap quite harvest acting as guides for tourists, but this is hardly

William l.. Smith Badly Injured of F.
 S. PIatts Store.
 William l.. Smith of 55 Judson ave- nue, employed at the Frank S. Platt company, florists. 350-356 State street, accidentally fell down the elevator shaft at the store yesterday afternoon about 2:30 o'clock, breaking his arm and receiving a slight concussion of the brain.
 While Smith was talking with MT. Platt near the elevator he raised the small gate which is in front u1 the elevator well and thinking the elevator was in front of him, unconsciously step- ped off into the open and fell down the shaft into the cellar. MT. Platt did not know where Smith had disappeared to until he heard his moans from below. Several of the employees went down stairs and brough him up into the store when 1t was found that his condition was serious, The Grace hospital ambu- lance was summoned and Smith was hastily dispatched there.
 How Smith ever came to step off into what he thought the elevator is not known, except that his attention was distracted from the elevator to MT. Platt with whom he was in conversa- tion. The gate in front of the elevator shaft at the first floor works automat- ically, and is only down when the ele- vator is in motion or is at some othe- floor The elevator was at the third floor at the time of the accident.
 The hospital authorities stated last evening that the injured man was rest ing comfortably and would recover.
 Smith is thirty three years of age and single. He has been in the employ of MT. Platt for some time.

of sufficient importance to prevail in the face of the pressure which is being brought to bear by the projectors. The line will extend from Zermatt to the top of the Matterhorn, and the company will erect all the necessary buildings for the accommodation of guests at the summit. It will be oper- ated electrically and will cost two mil- lion dollars. Four years time will be required in its construction. The trip now requires at least twenty-four hours, and costs about forty dollars for guides and other expenses. With the new railroad in operation the time of the trip will be reduced to two hours, and will cost ten dollars.

REPORT AGAINST MECHANICS
 BANK

Hartford, March 2S.-The finance committee of the general assembly has reported unfavorably on the petition of the Mechanics bank, of New Haven, to raise its capital from S9OO,OOO to $5OO,OOO, and the number of directors from nine to twenty-one. It seems that the bank was exempt from taxation on the $SO0,- 900 capital because of it's connection, many years ago, with the Pennington canal affair. The bank did not want the increase unless it could be exempt on the full $5OO,OOO. The committee would not recommend this, and so the measure failed.
 It was a quiet day in both the house and senate.

YESTERDAY,S STOCK MARKET.
Period of DuIIness Such as Has Not
 Been Seen for Many Weeks.

New York, March 2S-There was a
 rather desultory contest waged between
 the opposing elements in the specula-
 tton for small part of the stock ex-
 change session of to day. When it was
 demonstrated that neither side was
 gaining any marked advantage the pro
 fessional element which had been car
 rying on the contest practically aban-
 doned it. After that the market fell
 into period of dullness such as has
 not been seen for many weeks The
 quietness was accepted as a grateful relief from the recent turmoil The pro fessional testing operations seemed to
 be largely on the short side. The re-
 sistence which these efforts encounter
 ed was attributed to the activities of
 the party of bankers and capitalists said to have been organized for th
 purpose of supporting the market and
 was supposed to be responsible for Tuesdays rally. The action of yester- days market aroused some speculation as to it's resistence. When the market was seen to have gained some degree of euilibrium many brokers left the street intending to be gone until Mon day in the enjoyment of what they re- garded as a much needed rest Active operations were in progress at the sub treasury to-day in the working of the
