connected with her plan of establishing
on the Hudson within easy distance of

Nordica's trip abroad is to obtain cop
les of the original plans of that struc-
ture.
In Munich there is already such
structure as that she intends for Amer
lea This also is modelled upon the
plans of the original in Bayrouth. Nine.
Nordica hopes to bring back with her
the director of the Munich institution
to act as consulting director in the
formative stages of her project.
1t is learned that Walter Damrosch

will be associated in the direction OF
the institute. 1t is hoped that the pro-
iect will be brought to its completed
stage by the summer of 1909.

first days actual trial of Mayor
Eugene E. Schmitz for extortion.
1t is expected that the trial will take

two weeks
Assistant District Attorney Heney in
his opening statement to the jury
charged the mayor and Ruef with
plotting to carry on systematic
scheme of blackmail'' through the in
strumentality of the police commits
sion. Heney recited at great length
the alleged methods used by the mayor
and Ruef to intimidate the French
restauranteurs and to show them that
Reuf was the only man who could Sc
cure their licenses to them and that
| money was the only thing that would
obtain his influence.

mayor" said Heney, I'VE expect to
prove that the fight against Commits
sioner Sutton, which ended in his re-
moval by the mayor, was made be-
cause Sutton was trying to close up

said his relations with the mayor were
very friendly. Reagan said it was IN

| his first talk with the mayor on the
subject of French restaurants. The
mayor told Reagan they were all bad
places and wanted Reagan to visit
them, find out for himself and then
close them up. Witness said there
were then 3,078 liquor licenses and
most of the French restaurants sold
liquor under that form. In compliance
with the mayors instructions Reagan
assisted in holding up the licenses of
these places.

fares to cents per mile His discus

Another important feature of his
message will be the life insurance
question. A year ago a general insur-
ance conference was held in Chicago
of which Governor Johnson was
chosen president. He appointed
committee of fifteen to consider what
legislation is necessary to protect pol
icyholders and prepare such bills as
the committee deemed should be
adopted by state legislatures. This
committee has done its work and pre-
pared the bills. Insurance Commits
sioner O'Rrien proposes to send copies
of these proposed bills to members of
the legislature in advance of the ses-
sion. Governor Johnson's message
will endorse this proposed legislation
He will also advocate drainage along
some new lines, but calculated to be
practical.

Pugnacity of Rats.

A glove manufacturer took from a
cabinet handsome pair Of brown
gloves. These gloves are made of
ratskin,' he said. They look we'll at
first glance, but examine them care
fully. Look into the skin. The skin,
though soft and fine, revealed on close
examination a great many cuts and
scars and scratches. None of these
went quite through Nevertheless their
effect was to weaken the gloves great
ly. Those cuts and sears said the
manufacturer. ARE what bar ratskin
out of glovemaking. You never get
skin without them; hence you can't
turn the damaged skin into a good
glove Rats fight so much that they
become at an early age a mass of
scars. Their torn hides are of no use
to commerce."
