prominent San Francisco racehorse
man, who disappeared more than two

TO GIVE WARNING.

st. Petersburg, Saturday, Jan. 30
A report has been presented to the
Russian meteorological congress in ses-
sion here on the use of seismogra phs
to prevent mine disasters. These dis
asters are usually preceded for sew
eral days by slight movements of the
strata by which explosive gases are
released or which indicate coming
earth slides The installation of seis-
mographs would give ample warning
of disasters arising from these two
causes.

his predictions had surely come true'
ana not only did the south seem Will
ing to accept him as their president
but his greatest desire was TO be the
president of every man, woman ana

There was one other burden on the
Taft mind today--a desire to show ut
ter contempt for what he termed the
baseless and hurtful criticisms of the
work being done on the Panama
canal.
The geniality of the Taft smile may
BE- seen in this sentence in his ad-
dress at Hattiesburg, Miss:
Hearty Welcome.
II am delighted to say that I am
your president and you cannot help it,
and If even opportunity comes again
to show 1t, It will crafty me to come
down here to Hattiesburg, named att

as much right to call upon the presi-
dent, and, indeed, on the woman who
occupies 1t and runs it. as anybody
eise.'
The canal remarks Of Mr.. Taft were
delivered in an unusually aggressive
manner.
THE Panama canal is going to be
built. he declared, land what want
you to do, and what I want every
American citizen to do, is to stand by
the men who are building 1t. Don't
set a fire in the rear. Don't distrust
the men who are giving up their
strength and energy and enterprise to
put that great work through. When
you have agents that are doing your
work, you stand behind them. If you
don't you cannot get your work done.
The men who do your work are en-

to be led astray by speeches in the

bers Of the board of engineers ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt who
went to Panama with President -elect
Taft, reached Washington today. The
board will report unanimously in favor
of continuing the lock plan.
Colonel Goethals said:
Il repeat what I said to you a year
ago, and that is that the canal will
be completed and ships will be tray

pared to give an estimate of what the

"1n my Judgment the character of
the canal to be built has not changed
in the least. The most acceptable plan
Is that of the lock canal, which is
that now under construction. ANY
danger of ships humping into the
gates or other parts of the locks
about which some apprehension has
been expressed, will be entirely
averted by electrical devices by which

Has Been Disposed Of Already.

Washington. Feb, la-william l.
Buchanan, special American commits
sioner to Venezuela, has signed a pro-
tocol with that government for the ad-
judication of the disputed claims be-
tween the two countries, thus paving
the way for a final settlement of the
issues that led to reupture of Dip
lomatic relations last spring. Because
of lack of detail in the dispatches, Of
ficials of the state department prefer
not to make any statement touching
the results except to say that the AS
sociated Press dispatches from Caracas
accurately indicate what has been
achieved.
AS to the money consideration in
volved in the claim OF the New York
& Bermudez Asphalt company, the Of
ficials are not fully advised. Officials
are particularly pleased that tho
asphalt company's dispute is not to
go to arbitration, because of certain
features involved
General Treaty.
Presumably Mr.. Buchanan's work
win be followed by a general arbitra-
ton treaty between the two countries,
as the basis for a special treaty stat
ing specifically the issues to be arbi-
trated. which requires ratification by
the senate before the cases may go to
The Hague.
President Gomez is expected To
promptly name minister to Washing
ton.
Three claims are to go TO The Hague
tribunal for arbitration, the fourth is
settled by small cash payment, and
the fifth has been settled directly be-
tween the Venezuelan government and
the claimants. The protocol is equal
ly satisfactory to the United States
and Venezuela. 1t saves the dignity
and honor of Venezuela, while for
America the troublesome claims that
have led to so much negotiations are
disposed Of
Direct Settlement.
The New York & Bermudez Asphalt
reached a direct settlement with the
government, by which the company OBJ
tains possession of it's property in
Venezuela and agrees to pay the gov
ernment minimum revenue of $780,
600 year Furthermore, the company
will pay the government a cash indem-
nifty of $4,000 to compromise to the
suit brought against 1t on account Of
its alleged participation in the Matos
revolution.
A. F. Jaurett, an American newspa-
per man, who was expelled from Ven
ezuela by former President Castro. is
awarded $4,000 without a reason.
The claims of the United States &
Venezuela company, otherwise known
as the Critchfield concession of the
Orinoco Steamship company. and of
the Orinoco corporation, are to be sub
mitted to The Hague tribunal for ar
bitration.
Mr.. Buchanana, as felt here, has
achieved great success.

 Mrs. Spielberg called upon Police man Murdy. who made the arrest, to testify that bent wires on the rear of the car made it look as if the seal had been torn off. The chauffeur said the seal was on when he left the garage. Then Mrs. Spielberg called upon her husband.

INSTRUCTIONS RECEIVED
 FOR THE TOWNSHIP SALE
RELATES MOSTLY TO PARKER
 PREFERENCE RIGHTS.
What the Holders Must Do to Make
 Selections Sure.

The instructions for the sale of the lots of the Parker townsite, which a special telegram to The Republican las. Saturday night stated had just been issued by the department of the interior. were received at the land office yesterday morning. As was an- nounced. the sale will take place on December F and the land office of ficials are advised to give notice of it according to the regulations of the de- partment.
 The Instructions relate chiefly to the preferred lot entries which were occupied under agreements with the superintendent Of the Colorado River Indian reservation last June. after the two site had been ordered. There were 2s0 of these agreements or per- mits, one of the conditions of which was that the holders should proceed to make improvements upon the lots and should bind themselves to pay a price for the lots which would afterward be fixed by appraisement. The instruc- tions recognize these permits. but the holders of them in order to avail themselves of them at the last are re- quired. having complied with the terms as to improvements. and having fur nished the necessary proofs, to pre- sent with their applications the amount of the appraisement.
 A letter accompanying the instruc- tions states that in the same mail there were~sent the appraisement lists and photolithographic copies of the plot of the town site. These copies are to be sold at twenty-five cents a piece. the proceeds to be credited to the Colorado River Indian agency The lists and copies have not yet been received. but on their receipt the land office is directed to file them and give notice of having done so.

ETIoUATTE FOR CARD PARTIES
The Success or Failure of This Mode of Entertainment Depends on
 the Guests.

The success of failure of a card party depends. more than that of any other sort of entertainment, upon the guests themselves. And although the laws they should observe are, in nut shell. all obtained in a generous read ing of the good old golden rule. yet they are often forgotten or ignored. Let us hope that they are just forgot ten, and that little gentle jogging of the memory will recall them.
 In the first place remember you are not playing game of solitaire. Of course, you want to enjoy yourself. but at card party the only safe and sure way to do this is to try to help the players about you to have a good time.
 The player who criticises others plays; who looks annoyed when her partner makes a poor lead: who dis gustedly says she never could play in such a babble. ought either to amend her ways, or else, somehow. by hook or crook, find a plausible excuse for staying at home.
 Next f the pitfalls always ready to catch the unwary card player come the prizes. The player who doesn't play a good game and the player who plays too good a game; the player who in- sists on taking it lightly. or even the player who takes it seriously. may be forgiven. But the player who works

WHY THE JEW coMEpIAN7

A little comedy. and a great deal of searching pathos was presented to the students of the character of the Jew by David Warfield a few years ago in a play called. "The Auctioneer." For his excellent portrayal of the character MT. Warfield deserved the praise showered upon him by critics of the drama. The Jew as drawn by MT. Warfield was as truly a picture from real life-the life of the Ghetto of any large city-as the Bret Harte characters were real-life pictures from the California mining districts of the period in which he painted with his pen with the same rough, bold, &C., curate strokes that characterize the work of Frederic Remington with his brush. There is no reason why Jews should not like to see upon the stage portrayal calculated to show the va rious facets of the Jewish character out of stageland. But why does not race dominant in the amusement world in the role of purveyor. and prominent as d patron, protest against the slanderous assaults upon the Jew by the so-called Jew comedian" of the vaudeville and burlesque stage?
 A little while ago a prominent rabbi called upon the Jews in charge of the theatrical business in New York to purge the American stage of its un- cleanliness for the benefit of mankind and for the honor of the race. Would not the elimination of the Jew come dian a cavorting. chattering libel upon Jewry-be worthy of the efforts of the gentlemen holding the destinies of the drama in America in the hol- lows of their hands?
