DIGGIMG At HERCuLANEUM
The Italian Government Is About
to Take Matter In Hand.
Removal Of Houses Forming Modern
Town the First Step As They
stand on Ancient Site.

Rome, Nov 1.-THE proposal to
continue to work Of excavation at
Herculaneum has become so popular
as a result Of the efforts made by
Charles Waldstein, professor Of fine
arts In Kings college, Cambridge,
England, that the Italian government
is about to take the matter actively
In hand.
Signor Rava, the minister of public
instruction, upon whom the work &C
tually depends, has prepared bill to
be presented to parliament which pro-
vides for an appropriation Of $780,
900 for the purpose Of removing
the houses forming the modern town
If Resina, which is located over
Herculaneum, and an appropriation
of $4,000 for the actual excavation
work. This latter sum does not In
clude the salaries of officials. In the
meanwhile, specia. commission I'M
der the presidency of Prof Depetra,
If the University of Naples, has un.
dertaken preliminary studies for the
commencement of the work.
Prof. Waldstein, contrary to the
views held by the members Of the
present Italian cabinet, is in favor Of
International cooperation to do the
work at Herculaneum. He is about to
bring out large volume showing
what has been done up to the present
and setting forth what he considers
necessary to insure the completion OF
the work. He will maintain that II
carried out according to modern meth
DDS, the excavation Of Herculaneum
will call for an expenditure of 5000, 900.
\ contrary opinion is held by a ma
iority of the Italian psychologists
headed by Prof. Giacomo Bonia, the
well known director OF the excava
tons at the Roman forum, who de
clare that 1t will be impossible to
spend more than $4,000 a year II the
work is done cleverly and without in
Jury to the buried treasures.

CRY MAY Be IN CONTEMPT
Ofacers Of Pittsburg, Kan, Must Ap-
pear Before Supreme Court.
They Are Charged With Receiving
Money From Joints In Def
ance Of Courts Order.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 11.-Attorney
General Jackson Saturday secured ci
tations against certain officers OF the
city OF Pittsburg, compelling them to
appear before the supreme court on
November 18 and show why attach
ments of contempt should not be is'
sued against them.
The charge against these men 10
that they received their salaries from
money paid in various ways to the city
by joints and other resorts as licenses
to engage In their alleged unlawful
pursuits.
Frank Linski is also cited to appear
before the court. Linski is not con-
nected In any manner with the city ad-
ministration. It Is charged he has
been go between" for the handling
Of these licenses. Some Of the
money, the attorney general declares,
was paid into the city treasury as a
donation to the general fund and some
Of 1t directly to some Of the city Of
flcers.
This practice, according to an afi-
davit filed by Jackson, has been going
on since the supreme court ousted and
enjoined the city Of Pittsburg from en-
gaging in the illegal licensing Of sa-
looms.
Mr.. Jackson was asked II he would
proceed against any other officers Of
Pittsburg or against the jointists who
are alleged to have been paying this
money. We may after while," was
his reply.
Scammon and West Mineral, both
cities Of the second class in Cherokee
county, also met with the attorney
generals promised wrath Saturday af-
ternoon. Jackson filed custer proceed
ings against certain municipal officers
Of both cities, and then against the
cities themselves. He charged them
alike with knowingly permitting the
illegal sale Of liquor in these cities,
and that upon the payment of sums
into the city treasury by the jointists
and saloonkeepers, information about
the latter was either by neglect, fail.
ure or refusal not supplied to the
county attorney Of Cherokee county.

has discovered cure for diphtheria,
which is effective even In the most
dangerous cases in very short time

from the assimilation Of the pyocy'

RESERVE NEARLY INTACT
Money 10 Being Forwarded to the
Points In tho West and
South Where Most
Needed


New York, Nov 1.-THE mos
eventful week In the financial history
Of the present generation came to
close Saturday with conditions much
clearer than a week before, but will
some clouds still hanging over the
financial horizon. The previous weeh
had closed with the disQuieting an
nouncement that the New York bank
reserves had lost S2O,0O0,OO0 in cash
in spite OF deposits by the government
during the week OF nearly an equal
sum, representing net cash loss Of
seO,OOO.0OO.
The bank statement Of Saturday
changes this situation. While 1t shows
a nominal decrease in required re-
serves of $13,0S5, 800, more than two,
thirds Of this decrease Is due to the
reserve requirements caused by In
crease In deposits because OF the TAX
ing over Of loans from the trust com
panies by the banks. Moreover, the
actual cash loss Of $4,31S,0O0 is due to
the system Of averaging accounts for
the entire week, including several days
before the arrival Of the new gold.
Unless demands from the country are
very heavy next week the arrival OF
additional gold will more than Offset
the loss Of cash last week and make
q creditable showing for reserves on
Saturday next.
The week began on Monday with a
feeling of grave doubt as to the future
Of the two trust companies which had
been subjected to severe runs. The
possibility that they might go down
and drag with them much Of the fnan-
cial structure which still stood erect,

Los Angeles Merchants Go to Mining
District to Investigate Business
Chances, with Good Pros
poets Before Them

The third excursion train from Los
Angeles to Rhyolite, the metropolis of
the Bullfrog district, left the city at
O'Clock last night. The number of
passengers was all that had been ex-
pected and the railway officials were
much pleased at the turnout. Much in
terest has been aroused here the past
several days through the medium of
Stereopticon lectures given at the
chamber of commerce every morning
by Earl r. Clemens of the Rhyolite
Herald. Mr.. Clemens was assisted the
last two mornings by f. p. ManniX of
the Bullfrog Miner.
Mr.. Clemens said to The Herald last
night;
Il am pleased to note that our eff
forts in Los Angeles have been pro-
duCtiVe of some good. | am under the
impression that the people here are
now acquainted with the fact that
Rhyolite and the Bullfrog district are
on the map and that Los Angeles
should be Interested in this great camp.
The official board of the chamber of
commerce will investigate the possibil-
tiles of the Bullfrog district and will
make a public report. | made it plain
to the directors, who asked me to talk
to them yesterday, that the Southern
Nevada country is to Los Angeles what
Tonopah and Goldfield are to San
Francisco, and urged them to inves-
tigate conditions at Rhyolite with a
view of spreading official information
regarding the same.
81 believe that it is only question
of time when Los Angeles will be a
great mining center However. if the
people of Los Angeles don't get busy
on Southern Nevada they will pass up
one of the most promising tributary
sections. All l ask of the citizens here
is to investigate. If they can't go to
Rhyolite they may take occasion to
ask their neighbors what they have
seen when they return after making
this trip tonight"

Rev. Mr.. Bartlett has sent commune

the larger portion of the inha bitants
of the city come from the country, the
students should be prepared for the
city life.
Rev. Mr.. Bartlett is arranging to Sc
cure a faculty of well known people to

several courses of lectures will be
given during the year, which are being
prepared.

'It Is a demonstrated fact that the
