These ser- vices are being held in the outlying districts and are for the purpose of helping the concentration of the vari- ous services. which will be held in Trinity, Christ and St. Paul's churches during the next three weeks. The at- tendance at all of the services held yesterday was larger than on the pre- vious day. and much good is expected to be the result of these gatherings in the churches outside the center of the city.
 A very enthusiastic meeting took place at noon time yesterday at the shops of the N. r., N. H. & H. R. R., where Father Huntington made touching and eloquent appeal to the several hundred men who listened to his sermon on the Leadership of Christ" To-day at noon Father Hunt ington will again address the men at the railroad shops.

 Brookline, Mass, Oct 26, 1907 MT. George Dudley Seymour,
 S6S Chapel St., New Haven, Conn. My Dear MT. Seymour:
 As 1 mentioned to you yesterday it seems to me that it would help to a clearer framing of the problem on which your committee wants advice and suggestion from MT. Gilbert and me, to gather and digest a considera- ble amount of such statistics as are available in regard to the economic and social conditions and tendencies of the city.
 MT. Gilbert and have no special training or professional skill as nun icipal diagnosticians, to discover what sort of things now lacking to the city would contribute most to the satisfac- ton of its citizens; our professional training and experience puts us in no better position than any other intelli- gent observers to advise New Haven what to do; it is only for devising how to do 1t that we are professional ly equipped. We shall be glad to take such part as we can with you and the other members of your committee in making diagnosis of the needs of the community, and so far as concerns observation of the physical conditions of the city we can quickly get hold of the more essential facts; but the hum an facts are just as important and much more tedious to collate.
 l suppose in its broadest statement the, question that your committee puts before itself is soemthing like this: In addition to what would be accom- plished in any case through the nor nal or routine operations of munich pal government, what can reasonably be done to increase the physical con- venience and agreeableness of New Haven as place for its population to live and work in?
 To answer this question in wise and farsighted way involves careful forecast of the size, character and needs of the future population; for the immediate effect of any large per manent improvement is of slight i'm portance compared with their cumula- tive effect on successive later genera tions. In regard to the formation of parks and other permanent open spaces and especially in regard to the layout of thoroughfares and the transportation system, the probable future distribution and requirements of the population should absolutely control present decisions. Light should be sought wherever it can be found on the subject of existing con- ditions and tendencies of growth and change in the populations; as to num- bers, distribution, occupation, charac- ter, habits of life, needs and economic resources. After all is gathered that can be it will cast a very feeble and uncertain illumination on the future. but if it is intelligently used 1t is a good deal better than guessing or going it blind. Statistics showing the rate and manner of changes during the last few decades can readily be secured for certain comparable kinds of facts, some of which may be sug- gested by the following headings. Different kinds of facts are obtainable

PLAGUE CAMPAIGN ENDED.
Only One New Case Since Christmas
in San Francisco.

San Francisco, Jan. 15.-The cam
paign for the eradication of the bubon-
ic plague in San Francisco, which has
been conducted by DR.. Rupert Blue and
a staff Of $50 medical officials of the
United States marine hospital, is al
most over. Only one case of plague
has occurred in this city since Decem-
ber 26, and it was Japanese who was
taken ill after arriving from Siege,
Contra Costa, where he is believed to
have contracted the disease. The local
health authorities announce that no
further daily plague bulletins will be
issued.
Since the origin Of the plague in this
city last May there have been 1877 veri-
fed cases. Of these II were verified
by clinical examination and 12O by
meteorological investigation. Of the
total number of persons who contracted
this disease, "a died and SO recovered.
Only two cases remain under treat
ment, and at the isolation hospital
there still remain Is suspects under OBJ
servation.
While the plague has practically been
stamped out, the sanitary campaign of
Or. Blue and the local health authori.
ties will continue for some time.

SPECIAL SESSION CALLED.
Nevada Legislature Meets to Consider
9oidfeId Situation.

Carson, New, Jan. 15.-The special
session of the Nevada legislature called
by Governor Sparks met at noon yester-
day. After organization Governor
Sparks message was read. In the sem
ate the appropriation bill of the session
was passed. The only important action
taken was the passage Of resolution
referring all bills that may be intro
duced relative to state rangers, constab-
ulary or military, to a special joint
committee.
There is question as to the legality
Of the organization of the assembly.
The members, under ruling from the
attorney general, organized without
swearing in the speaker. Robert Skaggs.
In the senate all Of the officers were
compelled to take the oath. As there
is a disposition to depose Skaggs, in
case OF re-opening the question, it is
expected that lively fight will be had.
Governor Sparks, it is thought, will
endeavor to influence the passage Of
state ranger law similar to that Of Tex
as, az he has the Texas law at hand,
and it has been read by number of
tie membesr. 1t is likely to meet with
strong opposition in the lower house,
where the labor unions have strong
representation.
Senetor Morehouse, formerly of Cali
fornia, now located in Goldfieid, is in
representing the Goldfeld
chamber of commerce.

dent Roosevelt, announced that he will
make an effort to bring the Standard

the indictments returned against the
corporation. 1t will be possible in the
event that the company should be con-
victed on each count of the indictment
to impose fines aggregating total of
$50, 100000.

JURY SECURED
TO TRY HALL
Only Two Defendants to Be Heard at
Present Trial.
ex-United States Attorney and Edwin
Mays-Prosecution Makes No Ex-
pIanation - Heney's Action Loads
to Talk Of Immunity in Exchange
for Testimony.

Portland, Jan. l8.-Twelve jurors,
satisfactory alike to the government
and to the defense, were selected yes
terday to determine the guilt or inno-
cence of John H. Hall, ex-United
States attorney for Oregon, and Edwin
Mays, who are jointly charged with H.
legally fencing public lands in Eastern
Oregon. The first juror, Alfred Freerk-
sen, q farmer of Lebanon, Linn county,
was accepted at IL o'clock and the jury
was completed at 5:35 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon with the acceptance Of Henry
Freerksen, farmer of Shedds, Linn
county, and brother of the first man
selected. Both sides had exhausted
their three peremptory challenges be-
fore the name of Henry Freerksen was
reached, but he was subjected to q
thorough questioning by Special Prose-
cutol Heney before being accepted.
When court convened yesterday
morning Mr.. Heney created a sensation
by announcing that Of the IL defendants
named in the indictment only Hall and
Edwin Mays would be tried at this
time. His failure to indicate when W.
w. Steiwer, Hamilton H. Hendricks
and Clarence B. Zachary would be tried,
if at all, is believed to give color to the
report that these three defendants have
been promised immunity in return for
important testimony against their CO.
defendants. The testimony Of these
defendants, it has been rumored, is
considered essential to the case of the
government against Hall and Mays.

INVESTIGATE HARTMAN.
California viii Probe Into Actions of
Southern Pacific.

San Francisco, Jan. 17.-After 20
years Of quiescent obedience, the state
board of railroad commissioners flew
full into the face of the Southern Pacific
company today and ordered search
ing investigation into the rebating pro-
clivities of the Hartman lines, the
Santa Fe and the Salt Lake road. At
the same time the board, with the
assistance of Attorney General Webb,
passed the responsibility for efficacious
action to the door of Governor Gillett.
It lies with the chief executive to au-
thorize the expenditure Of the money
that such an investigation will cost,
and Mr.. Gillett has no alternative but
to choose squarely between the people
and the railroads.
The sudden awakening of the board
has developed unique situation. The
state railroad commission has always
been the object of tender care on the
part of William F. Herrin. Now the
has suddenly decided to
put Mr.. Herrin and his associates on
the carpet.

SEEKS TO RETAIN TROOPS,
Nevada Legislators Are Unanimous ir
Approving Policy.

Carson City, New, Jan. 17.-At the
afternoon session Of the assembly yes
terday a resolution which passed the
senate in the morning, petitioning the
president to retain the troops tempo
rarily, passed without negative vote.
There was no argument ON either side
as to the merits of the measure. Gov
ernor Sparks was at the speakers desk,
and as he came into the hall was greet.
ed with applause.
Speaker Skaggs, who has opposed the
governor in the matter of calling troops
to Nevada, left the chair and Speaker
Pro Tenn Folsom placed the motion be.
fore the house. Skaggs failed to vote
on the measure, absenting himself at
roll call. The governor is receiving
congratulations from both parties since
the passage of the bill. There was a
meeting of the joint committee this af-
ternoon in reference to taking up
measure for policing the state. 1t is
likely that this measure will be intro
duced by Monday.

INDORsEs SPARKS ACTION.
Caucus Of Nevada Legislators Sup
ports Governor,

Carson, New, Jan. 16.-A Joint eau
Gus of the special committees of the
senate and assembly of the Nevada leg
islature met yesterday and framed a
joint resolution which will be introduc-
ed in the senate today asking the presi-
dent of the United States to retain
troops in Goldfeld until such time as
the state can provide either police
force or other means to maintain order
in the camp. This is decided victory
for Governor Sparks, as the committee
framing the resolution is composed of
20 members, both Republicans and
Democrats, with the pro and anti labor
elements both represented.
The resolution will undoubtedly pass
the senate, while the general express
sion among the members of the lower
house is that it will 60 through that

viding for the hearing of Alaska ap-
peals at either Seattle, Portland or San

that was encountered last year, al
though Representative Kahn, of Cali
fornia, has asserted his intention of
fighting the bill. Mr.. Kahn claims
that the majority of appeals from Alas
ka are matters of California interest.

Keep Coolies at Home,

Honolulu, Jan. 15.-A local Japan
ese newspaper prints an interview with
Viscount Aoki in which the viscount is
quoted as follows; 81 do not approve
of manual laborers going to America.
They cannot expect, after Japan's long
isolation, to establish themselves in
any Western country. Destiny and
opportunity are in Asia, IN Corea and
Manchuria. Viscount Aoki expressed
himself as opposed to Japanese seeking
naturalization in America, for the rea-
son that citizenship is only needed by
permanent residents.
