DAN PATCH AIR LINE.
President M. w. Savage in an Inter-
view Says Project is Now
Financed.

M. w. Savage returned to Mime
apolis yesterday morning after hav-
ing completed arrangements for the
financing of the Dan Patch Air Line
now being constructed by the Min
neapolis, st. Paul, Rochester & Du-
buque Electric Traction Company.
President Savage has had personal
direction of the financing of the in
terurban company and has been in
the east for several weeks. Before
leaving for home he concluded the
deal which gives the company $4,-
100000 which enable the corpora
ton to complete the road from Min
neapolis to Rochester, Mimi, dis
lance of 100 miles.
When seen at his Office this morn
ing Mr.. Savage was showed under
with accumulated work but took time
to admit that he was satisfied and
we'll pleased with the result of his
efforts in the east.
Eyes, we have financed our inter-
urban project" he said in response
to a leading question. at took me
some little time but men are not in
vesting 100000 without careful
investigation. They have to be
shown. We have been able to do this
and are now in a position to go ahead
and build what will be one of the
best equipped electric railways in
the world. From the grading up to
the cars we are going to make the
Dan Patch Line the best of its kind.
The highest grade construction will
save in the end by making cheaper
operation and less repair expenses
and / believe that high grade rolling
stock in which the travelling public
is given every convenience and COM
fort is the only way to secure pop
ularity and enable a good road to
pay good dividends
Mr.. Savage stated that there was
over thirty miles of grade complete
at the present time and that there
were several crews now carrying on
this work. He said that no immedi-
ate changes would be made except
that preparations had already been
begun for letting of contracts for the
remainder of the grade and work
would be rushed along as fast as it
is possible to do and still maintain
the highest degree of excellency-

BAYERN SAILS FOR MESSINA
American Relief Ship, With Abundant
Supplies, Nurses and Surgeons
Aboard, on the Way.

Rome, Jan. 7.--Ambassador Griscom
will leave here Thursday for Messina
to meet the American squadron, which
is expected to arrive there on Satur-
day under Rear Admiral Sperry on the
flagship Connecticut.
The steamer Bayern, the American
relief ship flying the Red Cross en-
blem, will sail for Messina Thursday.
This steamer, with it's great cargo of
supplies, will be able to take care Of
thousands of sufferers. There are
three surgeons aboard and 80 nurses,
OF whom three are American and
three English. Fifty-eight thousand
dollars has been spent for the medical
outfit, provisions and clothes for dis
tribution ashore. There is an i'm
mense supply OF the necessaries of life
aboard, for both men, women and
children, particular attention having
been paid to the selection of food for
the little ones. In the past As hours
$4,000 has been spent In Rome and
$4,000 in Genoa for clothing alone
Word received here from Naples
says that 'Hoollgans" during the night
ran through various quarters of the
city crying Earthquake, earthquake"
Their cries aroused thousands Of peo-
pie, who rushed out Of their houses,
thus giving the thieves an opportunity
to work. The frightened population
gathered in the squares and crowded
the churches. Some of them took
crucihxes and images OF saints and
carried them through the streets in
procession amid wailing and weeping.
The latest provisional statement
drawn up shows that 60 towns were
destroyed and gives the number Of
dead in these as 165,O53. This does
not include hospital deaths.

URGES STATE TRADE SCHOOLS
State School Commissioner Also Rec.
ommends Two New Normal
Schools,

Columbus, o., Jan. I'm his last an
nual report, filed Wednesday, State
School Commissioner Jones makes a
strong plea for industrial education
and the establishment OF trade schools
by the state. He urges the creation of
a commission by the Legislature to be
appointed by the governor to study
the question and report in one year
The commissioner recommends the
establishment in northern Ohio of two
additional state normal schools, and
asks that their location be fixed by a
commission. Because OF a fight over
their location the bill to establish
these schools failed in the last legis-
lature. He says there is need of two
inspectors of high schools, as the law
requires the commissioner to classify
the high schools into three grades and
as he can visit only a small number,
the CLASSIFICATION on a basis Of eff
cheney is apt to be inaccurate and un-
just. Only 1856 rural schools have
been centralized and II is estimated
that there are still 500 small country
schools with only ten TO 10 pupils
each,

Over-eating, late suppers, poorly
chewed food, too rich pastries and
rnder-done cooking are some of the
causes of the stomach's ill health.

Bill to Prevent Blindness.

Columbus, o., Jan. 7.-On the
ground that nearly one-third of all the
blindness in the country could have
been prevented by the proper precau-
tion at birth, bill is to be introduced
In the. general assembly to compel
physicians and midwives to take steps
when every child is born that they
may prevent untold misery afterward.
The plan is simply to compel the ad-
ministration of a solution OF nitrate of
silver to the eyes of the newborn
babe to kill the germs that often breed
there and cause the sight to be de-
stroyed. 1t is strongly favored by
Helen Keller, the deaf, dumb and
blind girl, who has made an extensive
study Of the subject. She calls the
neglect of the eyes of children at birth
crime against society. The new bill
Will place Ohio among the first states

Covers Chest Mith Jewels.

A Piccadilly firm of jewelers., af-
ter two years work, completed one
of the most splendid pieces of jewel
ry in existence. 1t was made TO the
order of a wealthy Turk, and is
worth every cent of $15O,O00. No
fewer than 5000 brilliants and hun
dreds of pearls, emeralds and rubies
have been. used in composing this
dazzling work of art, which takes the
form of "plastron," spreading over
the chest of the wearer from collar
to belt. 1t is 2 feet inches long.
The details of this wonderful bau-
BILE are most elaborate. The center is
formed of Turkish crescent in enor-
nous pearls, the device being as
large as a pie-plate. A text from the
Koran is inscribed in rubies within
the crescent, and the Sultan's auto
graph in emeralds appear above. Sus-
pended by ropes of gems is a square
medallion, some inches by 3, bear
ing the Turkish flag In rubies, stand
ing on an emerald mound, with q
background OF diamonds.
A miniature photograph of the
owner, framed In diamonds, hangs
below; and lowest of all there is a
pearl the size of an acorn. Surround
ing all these designs there is a back
ground of butterflies and flowers In
brilliants, and the whole Is fastened
round the neck by a circle OF dia-
monds.
The Turkish grandee provided the
pearls, which are the size Of hazel
nuts, and a single wonderful dia-
mond from his own treasure chest.
The owner Of all this gorgeousness
may. II he likes, dazzle all behoiders
with the entire mass of gems blazing
on his chest, or he may wear any OF
the pieces separately
King Bdwards's remark, when he
was shown the magnificent jewel at
Buckingham Palace, was that he was
glad he was not obliged to wear any
thing so gorgeous or so heavy. At the
same time, he was gratifed that such
a masterpiece had been turned out
by an English Arm OF jewelers..
