Washington, D. c., Jan. 5:-Trans-
acting business without even a quorum,
the house of representatives today pass
ed several bills of miscellaneous char
acter, but of little general public inn
portance The only incident worthy Of
note during the consideration of these
measures was heated discussion
among the members of the Indiana dele
CATION over a bill to provide for the es-
tablishment Of judicial divisions in the
district Of Indiana. The measure failed
of passage through the refusal of ma.
jority to order its third reading and its
being subsequently laid upon the table.

Typhoid .
Fever Said to Have Broken
;. Out In Messina and Reggia
and Grave Fears Are En-.
. tertalned Over Symptoms

il Rome, Jan. "a report from Mes.
sina that typhoid fever has broken
out there has filed the authorities
with alarm and apprehension. It is
realized here that unless proper san
itary precautions are taken at once
the disease may spread far outside
the ruined districts. Even though
the present ceases may prove to be
dysentary, it is well known that this
disease under such conditions pre-.
vail at Messina and Reggie would be
likely to prove just as fatal as ty-
phoid itself.
Victor Emmanuel today received
Ambassador Griscom, who presented
the name of the American people.
The Bayern is loaded with provis-
ions and medical supplies and Is now
ready to proceed to the Strait of
Messina.
The king was greatly pleased and
said the Americans were always
first. His majesty advised the am
bassador as to where the steamer
should proceed and as to the best
means of distributing it's supplies to
the sufferers. Thirteen thousand
refugees have arrived at Naples up
to date, of whom 5000 were wounded.
They are receiving the best of care
but many have died of their injuries
and others have gone mad. More

IN THE ! | SENATE :. ||..'|'I|| |;


Washington, D. G. Jan. 5.---The bust
ness of the senate today consumed less
than an hour, nearly half of which was
devoted to the consideration of nomi-
nations in executive session where a
large number were confirmed.
A motion by Senator Gore of Okla
homa to print the inaugural addresses
and the proclamation of emancipation by
President Lincoln in the congressional
record in celebration of the centennial
year of Lincoln's birth, brought Sen
ator Bailey of Texas to his feet with
an objection to the printing of the proc
lamation of emancipation. Further dis
cussion was stopped by a reference of
the entire matter to the committee on
printing. ~~ ~

Flushing, N. Y, Jan. New lights
were thrown on the relationships OF
VIM E. Annis and Mrs. Claudia Hams
in the trial of Thornton J. Hams today,
when the defendant, under examina-
ton, declared that at Marblehead,
Mass, he became. aware that Annis and
Mrs. Hams had stopped at the same
hotel. .,.
Questioned by Justice Crane, Thorton
Hams said he never spoke of the re-
1ationship between Mrs. Hams and
Annis to Captain Hams and remained
silent on the matter until last spring.
The fabric of the defense's case was
badly torn today when Thornton Hams,
under cross examination by the states
attorney, made many damaging admis-
sions. His, .jaunty manner quickly dis
appeared in the fire of the prosecutor

jELLYFISH.

In Tropical Waters This Queer crsa-
ture 10 At its Best.
Few marine animals seem at first
glance to betray less intelligence than
the jellyfish. Up with the tide and
down with the tide, carried along by
this or that current, moving with the
eddy of q backwater hither and thith-
er, the jellyfish has become almost a
synonym for helplessness. scientifcal-
~, Of course, the popular idea Of the
jellyfish is wholly mistaken, but it is
perhaps only in tropical waters that 1t
is found in the perfection Of intelli-
gence. In the south Pacific round the
islands of Polynesia and as far south
as the upper portion Of the North is
land of New Zealand there is a jelly
fish that not only knows where it
wants to go, but is even provided with
a sail which it can and does hoist or
lower at will. The sail, like the rest
of this curious animal, IS almost trans
parent; but, unlike the body Of the
1lsh, which is of the usual gelatinous
construction, tho sail is q membrane
almost as hard as shell. Round about
the Ellice group the navigating fish is
often found with sail measuring five
inches across, and 1t navigates the
shallow island waters with the skill of
pilot, steering in and out Of shaggy
places and avoiding distractions both
above and below the surface with un-
erring skill. Like It's cousins in home
waters. this navigating jellydsh has
the power Of singing ito natural enc
niles, and its sting Ii fatal to other
fish and dangerous to man.--London

White replying to petition of
c. s. Westcott, member of the Iegis-
lature from Cherokee county and one
of the residuary Iegatees of the late
defunct, deceased and busted Re
publican machine: and in reply said
White begs leave first to breathe with
out a license from said machine. and
second to deny the following charges
by said Westcott legatee as above de-
scr1bed:
First that he is manager or man
aging director of the Republican
party. Said White maintains that he
is ''only an armor bearer with rank
of private.
Second, said White desires to deny
that the Republican party in this
pledges. and sets forth the following
facts to wit i. e. namely viz as fol-
lows:
That said Westcott admits nine un-
redeemed pledges bearing date of Au-
gust, 1908. but overlooks three cords
of pledges made and unredeemed by
said party under the management of
said machine of which said legatee
Westcott and others to this aftiant un-
known were at that time directors,
bosses, bosslets, booserines and fxers;
and whereas said legatee Westcott
does not specifically claim in his pc
tition and prayer that those pledges
have lapsed by reason of the statute
of limitation, said White as creditor
of said party having given it his vote
both at the time of the management
of said Westcott ct al. and later under
the contract of August, 1903, demands
that said unredeemed pledges of the
machine be considered as vital assets
of the votes of the said party, and that
said Westcott as legatee of the said
defunct, busted and deceased machine
be and is held politically responsible
for said unredeemed machine pledges,
and be forever estopped from kicking,

KNOX IS ALL RIGHT.
Taft Declares His Eligibility Is No
Longer Subject to Doubt.

Washington, Feb. 17.-In the opinion
of President-elect Taft. Philander c.
Knox is now legally eligible to receive
the appointment of secretary of state.
That he will be the premier in the Taft
cabinet has been again positively sta
ted by Mr.. Taft.
Mr.. Taft declared no court could en-
tertain any action based on the con-
stitutionality of Mr.. Knox's coming ap-
pointment for the reason the first Ques-
ton that would arise in such a proceed
ing would be whether Knox was de
facto'' official of the government. This
he maintained, would have to be an
swered in the affirmative and there the
proceeding would end.
1t was O'Clock last night when Taft
emerged from the presidents office,
having ended a two hours conference
with Mr. Roosevelt participated in by
the board of engineers. In the outer
office he had stated his position re-
garding MIR. Knox's appointment to a
group of newspaper men, when Roose-
Welt came out he stood for moment
unobserved, but with an expression of
pleasure on his face as the questions
were being hurled at the president
elect.
Il would just like to see you take a
few kinks out of him." he remarked,
as he advanced and took hold of the
lapel of the Taft coat. This does me
good
Then addressing Mr.. Taft. the presi-
dent inquired
Am 1 going to see you tomorrow.
WHIP" There were few Questions
Mr. Taft admitted he would like to
talk over at the White House this
morning and an engagement was made.
Then the president slipped his arm
through that of the big Ohioan and led
him down the steps of the executive
offices and the two conversed for some
minutes, after which Mr.. Taft stepped
into his automobile and the president
started for his walk.

furnishing necessities for the comforts
and luxuries of life at the cost of the
work as has been done in this work
This is one reason for the high cost
of the canal
In their opinion, the work is well
organized and is being conducted
energetically and well.
They commend the medical and sani-
terminating yellow fever and con-
trolled malaria"
I'VE see no reason" they add. "why
the canal should not be completed as
estimated by the chief engineer by
January l. 1915; in fact it seems that
able if all goes WE'LL
Considering the cost and time of con-
struction of a sea level canal as COM
pared with the lock thev hold that
most of the factors which have oper-
ated to increase the cost of the lock
canal would operate with similar effect
to increase the cost of the sea level
canal and at the present time there are
additional factors of even greater i'm
portance to be considered as against
the time of completion and cost of a sea
level canal
One of these they find in the Cam
boa dam work On which is to be start
ed as soon as possible They declare it
could not be completed until after the
time required for the completion of the
lock canal.
Further than this they say that "a
change in the type would result in
abandoning work which represents
large expenditure. They claim that by
the change the river Chagres and the
rivers on the isthmus tributaries there
to, instead of being allies would be
enemies of the canal and floods in them
would greatly interfere with the work"
As to Earthquakes.
Replying to the criticism the canal
region is liable to earthquake shocks
and that a sea level canal would be less
a lock canal,'' they assert that dams
and locks are structures of great stabil-
ity and little subject to damage by
earthquake Shocks" but that even if
they could regard earthquakes as
source of serious damage to any type
of canal the isthmus. their effect
on the dams, locks and regulating
works proposed for the sea level canal
would be much the same as upon SIM
liar structures of the lock canal"
AS to the question of water supply
any need that can be reasonably an
ticipated the best method of securing
more water when the time of need ar
rives does not require to be considered
now"
They report that they can find no
reason to apprehend important loss of
water by seepage through the ridges
Gatun dam. which in our
they add the bed of the
lake will be practically imperious to
water"
