"The Blues. .

There are two opposite tendencies in
medical practice of the present day. One
regards mental disturbances as depend
ent upon abnormal physical states; the
other looks upon the mind as the regu-
lator of. or at least exerting very
marked influence upon, the health OF the
body. Both these views are undoubt-
edlv right in part, and both are wrong
IN their exclusiyeness. in refusing to adj
nit that the mind and the body exert a
reciprocal influence upon each other
Mems sana in cerpore sanu, a sound
mind i'm a sound body, was the ancient
definition Of perfect health. In it was
the recognition of the fact that both
mind and body have to do with health,
and that neither can be disordered with
out acting refexly upon the other.
Putting aside the discussion Of the in
fiuence Of the mind upon the body, which
no one who has given thought to the
subject. however 'materialistic in his CON
cepfions he may be, can doubt. II may be
interesting and profitable as well to note
an instance Of the opposite influence;
of the effect upon the mental vision or
slight bodily defect.

that uncomfortable condition most APP

Lawyers Begin Arguments to Jury in
Ruef Case.

San Francisco, May 19-Taking of
testimony closed and arguments were
begun today in the trial of Abraham
Ruef, on the charge of bribery. Assist
ant District Attorney Heney opened for
the prosecution, and was followed by
Henry Ach for Ruef. Ach did not finish
until late hour tonight. Tomorrow
Heney will close, and it is expected that
Judge Dooling will deliver his instruc-
tions to the jury late in the afternoon.
Preliminary to the opening of the ar
guments, three witnesses were briefly
examined. G. H. Umbsen. the real es-
tate man, was questioned by Mr.. Ach
regarding the checks which were passed
when the Parkside money was first
drawn out of the Union Trust Com
panv's bank, and later, in two portions
of $4,000 each. from the Crocker Wool
worth Bank. Joseph E. Green, of the
Parkside Company, was recalled by Mr..
Henev to show that William Fl. Crocker
had not been present at the meeting of
ex- Mavor Schmitz and William J. Din
gee. Dingee followed, and he contra
dicted Green by saying that, to the best
of his recollection, both Mr.. Crocker
and Mr.. o 'Brien were present at the
meeting.

PREVENT LIMITATION.
America, Germany and Japan Hold OFF
World Powers

London, May 19.-Limitation of naval
armament may shortly be agreed to by
the European powers, according to
statement made by high British gov
eminent official, who said:
"While England has no immediate
intention of issuing invitations to
congress for the reduction of warship
construction, nevertheless work is be-
ing done to bring about an understand
ing among the powers to this end. The
efforts that are being made are-unof
fetal, and considerable headway already
has resulted. Within a year is it very
probable the ground will begin to be
cleared for an understanding.
"Three governments at present stand
opposed to armament limitation. They
are the United States, Japan and Ger
many. Apparently it has now become
set policy of the United States to
lay down two battleships of the Dread
naught type yearly. This means that
America will never enter any interna-
tional agreement that will not recognize
her right to MAINTAIN a fleet superior
to the mikado's. No present hope ex
lists of Japan acquiescing in such a
proposal, and so it is hopeless to ex-
pect the Americans and the Japanese
can be counted on to sign naval re-
duction pledge.'

Pacific into San Francisco, and that the
lines of the Goulds will also be extend
ed to Portland in the near future.
Further, Mr. Gould declares that the
Pacific Coast will be the scene of the
most extensive railroad operations ever
known.
For many months it has been rumored
that the Gould interests have been Sc
curing options on rights of way along
the coast from the north shore of San
Francisco bay to Eureka. The North
western railroad, which ends at Willets,
Mendocino county, is supposed to be
the property of the Southern Pacific and
Santa Fe jointly, but lately it has been
reported that part of the right of way
between Willets and Eureka has been
found to overlap other claims, and liti-
cation was threatened.

MOBScRULE CLEVELAND.
Shoot Down Carmen and BurnECars
Little Girl kilec.

Cleveland, o., May 20-The most Sc
rious violence of the street car strike
| which has been on here since Sunday
occurred IN Lakewood, a suburb, last
night, when four men were wounded
with bullets, one car burned and an.
other partially wrecked.
Trouble had been anticipated, and the
first car to Clinton carried no passen-
gers. When it stopped before a railway
bridge, crowd which had been lying in
wait, leaped from hiding places and
opened fire on the crew and guards.
Guards w. G. Bames and John Swanto
returned the fire, more than 30 shots
being exchanged.
While the shooting was in progress
the crowd grew to nearly thousand.
Another car arrived and its crew joined
in the fight. Gasoline was poured ON
the second car and it was burned to the
trucks. The Cleveland police were no.
titled, and 60 officers were sent to the
rescue. The first car, riddled with bull
lets and windows broken, proceeded to
the barn.
An earlier disturbance occurred in the
downtown district, when Yatta Wolkin-
son, little girl, was killed by car
while attempting to cross the street.
As soon as he realized what had oc-
Cured, the motorman speeded the car
several blocks ahead, where the police
were notified. The conductor then left
the car and sought refuge in a nearby
drug store. A crowd attempted to
reach him, while others attempted to
catch the fleeing car The police ar
rived just in time to save the conductor,
at whom the mob was yelling, "Lynch
him; lynch him.
The state arbitrators took up the task
of endeavoring to effect reconciliation
between the strikers and the Municipal
traction company early last night, and
remained in session several hours.

fleet Of excursion steamers crossed
the bar early in the day and greeted
the battleships off Tillamook Rock
with volley of whistles Each yes
sci was loaded to its capacity with ex-
cursionists. and their cheers were
added to the noisy salute. The mos
quito fleet escorted the war vessels
northward of the Columbia River,
when they returned to Astoria. When
the war vessels left the excursion
craft behind. the batteships resumed
their positions steaming to the north
abreast of each other.
As the squadron steamed along in
perfect order, each vessel dipped its
colors in acknowledgment of the loud
acclaim from the excursion craft.

BRINGS CARGO OF CHINESE.
Suspected Mission of Jap Steamer tc
California Coast.

Los Angeles, May 2O.-Immigration
officials were notified last tonight of the
arrival of a mysterious japanese
steamer at Gaviota, in Santa Barbara
county The vessel carries large
crew. When the captain attempted to
land his men the authorities prevented
it. An immigration officer will investi
gate.
The immigration authorities at this
point telegraphed the officials at Gavi-
ota to detain the vessel until an investi
cation could be made. The steamer had
been seen off the coast for several days,
which fact led the officials of Gaviota
to telegraph to this city for instruc
tions. 1t is thought the vessel may
contain Chinese, who are trying to land
in violation of the immigration laws.
