MAY AsG FURTHER CHANGE.

There is prospect OF petition 10
council asking for further restrie-
lions in the contract for construction
of the new sewer. according to talk
of citizens last night This because
of the report which is current that
the labor employed on the job will
not be paid the American rate of
wages prevalent here. 1t is asserted
that in the higher bids of local con-
tractors. American wages were figur-
ed. Business men assert that they
would rather have seen the higher
contract and the high wages, which
would be spent at home, rather than
the lower contract and low wages TO
foreigners. Orientals only are barred
under the contract as il now stands.

HAMMERSTElN TO HEAD
GREAT OPERA MERGER

New York, Jan. 12.-The World to-
day says: Upon authority that cam
not be questioned, the World is IL
to an operate project for
New York and other American cit
les that will startle the world Of grand
opera both I'm his country and In
Europe. In a word, II contemplates
combining the forces and opera houses
of the Metropolitan Opera company
and Oscar Hammerstein under the sole
direction OF the redoubtable Hammer
stein himself. Mr.. Hammerstein a
only to say the word and this tre-
mendous scheme will be accomplished,
"This announcement Will be denied.
Mr.. Hammerstein will deny II and the
directors OF the Metropolitan will deny
It, but It is a fact nevertheless. Twice
Mr.. Hammerstein has been approached
by directors of the Metropolitan and
his final answer waits only an adj
justment of his Philadelphia difficult
ties. The first conference was held
at the home of one OF the directors
two weeks ago, and while no direct
proposition was made to Mr.. Hammer
stein, he was asked to consider taking
the dictatorship and to submit his
! ideas on the whole scheme.

A FISH Is INTERSTATE
COMMERCE, STRAuS SAYS

(. washington, jan. 9.-When a fish is
swimming along a government stream
is he interstate commerce?
Secretary of Commerce Straus thinks
he ought to be, IL he isn't, n opines
that he o"~ht to be subjected to some
OF the regulative power of the govern
ment. He accordingly recommends
that provision be made Tor federal
control affecting at least the migra-
tory fish in interstate waters" The
secretary doesn't want to apply the
Interstate act to the perch,
or TO subject the bass tribe to the anti
trust law: but he does nave y mlnd
TO get congress to adopt some rigor-
Gus fish protection laws which will
supplement those Of the states and pre-
vent destruction of fish when they get
into Interstate waters. h secretary
finds that there is n utmos need
for protection of the fish in American
rivers, If they are to be v from
entire extinction.

CARRIER cHLoRoFoRMED
WHILE CARRYING MAIL

Springfield, s. D., Jan. 13.--John r.;
Jones, rural mail carrier on No. 3, had
an accident last Monday morning that
came very near resulting seriously. II
seems that someone had sent a bottle
Of chloroform through the mail, OF
which he knew nothing. Before he a
travelled far this bottle must have
broken or become uncorked in some
way. 1t was a cold day and Jones
had his buggy cab closed tightly. He
a that as he rode along he noticed
feeling a little drowsy, n the next
thing he knew he vas lying on the
ground and the team had run away
and smashed things up generally. 1t
| must have been that he had been over
come by the fumes, the lines falling
loose, the team, eve very trustworthy,
ran away, thus throwing him to the
ground where the cold, bracing air
presently brought him to conscious
ness again. It would seem that he
ought to be able to collect damagss. as
it Is against the law TO send such ma
terial through h mails. s

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 9.-If laughing
sign OF happiness, then Miss Margaret
sholak, had the happiest of New Years.
she laughed for nearly two hours without
stopping. and when she did cease, just be-
fore midnight, the doctors at the Chii-
dren's Homeopathic hospital were not at
all sure 1t was for good.
Miss ShoIak is very fond OF dancing.
New Years night she went to a ball and
danced through every dance on the pro
gram. every encore and every extra. She
laughed much over the good tim she had
had. Again the next night she went to
a dance, where again her card was filled.
IL was 10 o'clock when she began TO
laugh and was unable TO stop a crowo
| gathered about her as she sank to the
floor. She was hurried to the hospital
and il was midnight before h had her
laugh out. The doctors said 1t was ner-
yOus hysteria.

OIL FINE CASE
BEGS FOR JUDGE

Chicago. Jan. 9.-The spectacle of the
historic case of the United States gov
eminent against the Standard Oil com
pany, OF Indiana, going begging for a
Judge TO hear IL, was presented In the
federal building.
Judge Lands refused to hear II on
the ground that the opinion in the $2S,-
24O. 900 Judgment had prejudiced linn.
on the simple ground that he 'didn't
want to get mixed up in IT,"
Judge Landis designated Judge An
derson, of indianapolis, as his choice to
take up the big trial, saying that Judge
Anderson would be in Chicago within
a. few days, and the matter could be
settled then.
In the event that Judge Anderson re
fuses to hear the case, 1t will go TO one
of the following judges: Quaries OF
Sanborn, of Wisconsin; Humphrey OF
Wright, of Illinois. Judge Humphrey
decided the beef trust case.

|WOMAN'S CASE IS
LONDON MYSTERY
Disappearance of Miss Charles.
worth, So, 100000 Heiress,
Arouses Suspicion.

London, Jan. 1.-THE mysterious dis
appearance and the remarkable career
of Miss Violet Gordon Charlesworth
are giving the English public a sensa-
ton equal to that of the Steinheil case
in Paris,
Miss Charlesworth, an attractive
woman of rs, who lived with her pa
rents in Bodra st. Aseph, Wales, has
been reported as killed while motor
ing in the direction of Penmaen Mawr,
with her sister and a chauffeur, on
Saturday. The sister and the chauf-
feur ave that the motor come into
collision with the retaining wall along
the edge OF a cliff overlooking he
sea, and that Miss Charlesworth was
thrown over the wall into h sea-
The sister and the chauffeur gave the
foregoing account to the authorities
and since then the members Of the
family have declined to see visitors or
to give further details. Those who
nave examined the scene of the sup
posed tragedy do not consider 1t pos
sible that the body could have been
washed away A woman's hat was
found on the rocks, but there was no
indication of a body having been
thrown over the cliff.
Miss Charlesworth's picturesque ca
reer suggests that of Nine. Humbert.
| She said that she vas the heiress or q
General Gordon, her godfather, who
left her $744, 900, which was to be paid
over to her on her 25th birthday, jan
uary 13, with accumulated interest
making the whole amount $2,6OO,0OO.
Miss Charlesworth usually gave hei
name as Gordon and visited London
frequently alone. She operated heay-
ily on the London stock exchange, ant
according to the Evening News owes
one broker $4,000.
