SUNLIGHT MEDICINE
PRONOUNCED A HOAX

A new fear has just been created FOR
the human race. Siegfried wandered far
and adventured much without finding
fear. and the human race has come
on down its long path without discov-
ering the particular apprehension which
has now been invented by Mai. Charles
Z. Woodruff, surgeon in the United
States army He has decided that we
ought 10 be afraid Of sunshine.
He says:
Gods sunlight has had credit for
more false merits than any other of the
various superstitiOns 70 which men have
fallen victims. We recognize the fact
that IL kills bacteria, but we ignorantIy
fail TO reflect that it has Just as fatal
an effect on the protoplasm which COM
poses the human system. Gods sun
light is producing neurasthenia and car
diac feebleness and anaemia, is promot-
ing tuberculosis, and increasing insan-
lJy and suicide every day, not only IN
the tropics, but here in New York.
4 Gods cloudlneSs,' wherever Il is found
the shade Of dark houses and trees and
awnlngs-ls promoting health, sanity,
and long life.
He has much to say that is interesting
| concerning the effect of climate upon
nations. He finds the United States
with its bright daylight and its Southern
LATITUDE, peculiarly fitted for Italians,
Armenians, Arabians, Hungarians, Slavs
Aslaucs, but i'll adapted 70 the English,
the Scandinavian, and the Scotch. He
advocates artificial defense agains;
! light. We must, Major Woodruff urges
I abandon this nonsense about God S
sunshine -
This affords as rare an opportunity for
worry as could have been devised, Cali
fOrnia- Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico,
Kansas, Nebraska, all the Sunny
South Texas, that little nation, must
get their awnings or perish, And those
desert towns that congratulate them
selves on being the refuge for the ailing
that imagined they had seen tuberculo-
sis sufferers by the thousand shake of
their fell disease, they. 1t appears. have
been under a delusiOn-an eXhilaratinC
| hallucinaton, Back 10 the shadows
then. and the mephitic caves. and the
dim old Vault-lilze rooms Back To the
dark tenements and the narrow streets
of the ancient cities,
Back TO underground dungeons and
subterranean passages! All our compass
sion for those who "dwelt in darkness
has, II appears. been misplaced. 1t was
really we, walking abroad in fields and
on sunny streets, sitting by our south
windows and tending our gardens on
the southern slopes. who were To have
been cOmpassiOnated. Major Woodruff
is to be congratulated on having added
an entirely new item 10 the innumera bic
list Of apprehensions with which man
Saddens his life.-The Reader.

COUNCIL WILL
CONSIDER BIDS
Open Bids For Deposit Of
City MOney---Discuss Plan
for New Bonds

The city council will meet tonight to
open the bids for the use of the citv
money, the bids to be submitted in two
classes. One of the bids will be for
the use of the sinking fund of $1,000,
on the basis of monthly balances and
interest to be paid quarterly. This
fund may be loaned for from one to
three years.
The, other bid will be for the current
fund and made upon the basis of daily
balances. interest to be paid monthly.
This loan cannot be executed for a
longer period than one year.
1t is understood the matter of au-
thorizing the call for the bond cleo
ton for the purpose of voting for a
$4,000 bond issue, the funds to be
used in laying larger water mains in
the business part of the city and for
taking up the pipe now serving this
section and laying the same in parts
of town not enjoying service at this
time will be taken up by the council
tonight.
AiO poSlilOSS part VI the CITY Is now
supplied by an eight-inch main and by
the passage of the bond election 1t is
proposed to take up all of this size
and replace the same with 12-inch
pipe. The plans provide for better
ment of the service by the installation
of larger mains and from a general
sentiment expressed in all parts of the
city it is believed there will be little
opposition to the bond election for this
purpose.
1t is also suggested that the adver-
tising for the street improvement
should be carried on simultaneously
with the bond election in order that
the work on the paving of the improve
ment district may be commenced as
early as November 1.

DRUNKEN DRIVER
Quarrels Over Fares With
Two Seaman Whom
He StabS

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Aug. g.
Garrett Walsh, first class fireman
belonging to the crew of the battle
ship Maine, was killed and Chief Mas
ter at Arms T. F. Maddox and Chief
Baker, ]. Ackerman of the same ship
were wounded, the former probably
fatally, by Fred Gutieres, a beach
wagon driver in Phoebus last night.
Gutierres was arrested.
The tragedy grew out of quarrel
over paying fares. The sailors had
employed Gutieres to drive them and
sick shipmate to Old Point Comfort.
Enroute to get the sick man the driver
stopped in front of the Palace hotel
to get a drink. The sailors, anxious
to catch the launch out to the ship,
asked the driver to forego his drink,
and an argument over the payment of
the fares then started.
According to spectators, Gutierres
caught Walsh by the collar and jerk
ed him out of the back door, Acker-
man and a soldier named Smith fol-
lowed. Then Gutieres stabbed Ack-
erman in the arm with a knife
Flourishing his weapon the driver
threatened the sailors and soldiers.
and Walsh fled into rear room of the
hotel, closely followed by Gutierres.
Later Gutierres stabbed the MASTER
alarms and escaped, but was finally
arrested. Walsh was found dead, his
throat cut his heart pierced and his
body badly cut.
Gutierres. who had been drinking,
said the sailors attempted to beat him.

Special to Evening Teller.
kOOSkIA, Idaho, Aug. 2.-The work.
OF the Q. r. & N. surveyors under the
direction of Engineer Martin hMe-
aroused intense interest among several
or the big railroads and while a num-
Der of reports relative to the work have
been published all of these articles
have failed to relate just what is be-
Ing done in the Middle Fork country
by the Hartman engineers.
The work was commenced by En-
ginneer Martin at Kamiah on the north
bank of the Clearwater river at which
point the surveying was discontinued
last year. The survey has folloWed tho
north bank of the stream to the juno
tion of the Selway and Locksaw andl
will follow the north bank of the LoeR-
saw until a connection with the MIL
waukee road is effected in western,
Montana.
The engineers are practically follow
ing the survey made by the Clearwater
Valley Railroad company several years
ago and are locating all of the "hubs'~
of the old survey.
The profles show every stake and )
distance to cuts and fills from Kamiah
u the point where the operations ara
now being carried on about a mile be-
low the junction of the Selway ana

The work is most complete, trees and
brush being removed from the line for
miles. The party is proceeding by g.

Reports received here indicate the
work will be carried on in the same

NATIVE TONGUE
Germans Seek to Extend
Their Language in Ex=
treme Orient

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 2-Con-
in recent report, says the Germans
are exerting every possible influence to
strengthen their linguistic hold in the
extreme Orient. Admirable facilities
are offered native Chinese for the ac-
QUESTION of the German language in
the colony at Tsingtau, and these are
extended to the great seaports on the
Chinese coast. In Japan the growing
attention paid to the German language
without special outside effort, is wor-
voted exclusively to the interests of
those studying German, and their
number now exceeds 10000. according
to this periodical. These include 1000
university students who use German
colloquially, Then follow $500 stuE
dents in preparatory colleges and
1000 in academies.
The study of German is obligatory
on all medical students, and these
number 1900 in the eight medical
colleges and 1900 in preparatory de-
partments. German is likewise oblig-
atory in the military academies, and
also in the school for youth of the no.
bility at Toxic. A strong German
pathological society has lately been or
ganized in the Toxic university, in
cluding in it's membership so profess
sors and 400 students.

PLAN AID
FOR ORCHARD
Western Federation AttOr-
neys Seek to Recover
Mining Shares

WALLACE, Idaho. Aug. "A spe-
cial from Boise states that attorneys
for the Western Federation of Miners
are preparing to bring suit against
Dan Gardener in the name of the wife
and child of Harry Orchard for the
purpose of setting aside the convey
ance Of Orchards interests in the Her
cules mine to Gardener. Jesse d. Root
of Butte, partner Of Peter Breen, has
just returned from Canada with au-
thority to act. and suit will be fled
Immediately.
Breen claims to have an agreement
with Orchard that he will repudiate
his confession, laying the whole blame
on Jack Simpkins, but this is not gen.
orally believed. The suit is being
brough in hopes that this appeal to
Orchards avarice will induce him to
repudiate his confession.
The contention in the suit by the
plaintiff is to the effect that the trans
fer of interest in the Hercules was bas-
ed on the deed to Gardener, which was
in reality mortgage to secure indebt-
edness of orchard to Gardener.
The claim is also set up that the
failure Of the wife to join in the deed
to Gardener will invalidate it, and in
sufnciency OF consideration for the
property win also be claimed. Carbon
er, who is in Wallace, refuses to dis
cuss the matter in any way.

bration in Denver and will have no
part in it. He believes that it will be
better to wait until Pettibone has had
his trial.
There is to be a readjustment of
counsel for the Pettibone and Meyer
trials and this fact has given rise to
reports of differences among the law
yers. There were ten attorneys in the
Haywood case and not more than three
or four Of these may be retained.
The matter will be settled soon at a
conference in Denver. Darrow and
Richardson, it is said, will not be asso-
ciated in the next trial.
