CALHOUN WILLING TO

Reconsiders Refusal to Act as
Minister to China

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-William j. Cab
houn tonight denied a report from
Washington that he had declined to ac-
cept the appointment as minister to
China He did decline about 10 days
ago, but since then had been induced
to reconsider the matter.
Two weeks ago in Washington /
discussed with Secretary Knox the mat
ter of accepting the ministry to China, y
said Calhoun. Early last week tele-
graphed Knox that / could not accept.
| received a reply urging me to recon-
slider my decision. Friday / wired Knox

urgently desired by the president, ]
would consider the offer further.
..Since my last communication to
Knox have heard nothing further in
the matter
Calhoun spent much of the day in
consultation with his law partners at
his office. Among his friends the opin-
ion prevailed that he would go to China.

COMMITMENTS REDUCED
IN THE STOCK MARKET
Opposition to Credit for Specu-
lation in Wall Street

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Various fac
tors served to disturb speculative senti-
ment in the stock market last week.
Ever since the Bank of England began
to assert it's opposition by forcing UP
the London money market there have
been evidences of a scaling down of
commitments in the New York stock
market.
The political crisis in England which
eliminated in the rejection of the
budget last week by the house of lords.
constrains the Bank of England to
maintain it's extraordinary proportion
of reserves and continues London 8
control of New York gold supplies.
Gold went to South America last week
on London orders in an undiminshed
stream and this combined with the
December requirements and some syn
dicate transactions made the call loan
market subject to flurries.
The break in American Sugar. to the
lowest price of the present year was
due to the undesirable prominence of
that corporation before the criminal
courts and the attention it is expected
to receive from the government.
The purchase of control of the Guar
anty trust company by a partner of
J. p. Morgan & Co. and the purchase
by j. P. Morgan individually OF control
of the Equitable life assurance society.
carrying with it control of the Mer-
camille and Equitable trust companies.
involved such widespread hold on credit
institutions as to prove staggering to
the financial Imagination. This matter
had a strong influence in rallying
stocks
The railroad switchmens strike in
the northwest and the wider problem
of wage adjustments suggested, how
ever, were not soothing to the preva-
lent uneasiness.

TEACHES ORIGINAL
MASSAGE METHOD
Prof. Jerome Lerwick Opens
ParIors for Physical Exercise
in Union Square Building

An idea in massage treatment en-
tirely new to the western United
states has been introduced in san
Francisco by Prof Jerome Lerwick,
former physical director of the great
August Herman FRANKIE school of
Christiania Norway. and for two and
a half years masseur at the royal pail
ace there. At his gymnasium in the
Union Square building in Post street
he is giving massage treatments ac-
cording to the pure Norwegian
method, which, the professor states,
is something far different from the
American style. Norway originated
massage and Lerwick decalres that
his observation throughout America
has convinced him that the system
as used in this country is degen
crate form of what massage should be.
,As the art of massage is taught in
Norway" said Lerwick yesterday. the
muscles are kneaded carefully, each
muscle separately, and special treat
ment is given each person, for con-
stitutions vary in the amount of
treatment they can stand. In America
1 notice that every one is pounded and
and every man gets the same sort of
rough and unreasoning treatment
In addition to the massage parlors,
with the cabinet baths. salt water,
supplied by the Olympic salt water
company, the electric healing device
and vibratory flesh kneader, room is
fitted with appliances for using the
Ling system Of physical exercises,
used in the Swedish army and in all
gymnasiums in Norway and Sweden.
These exercises have now been in
troduced, in part, into the Boston
schools, and they are becoming recog-
nized in other eastern cities. but in
the whole western United States Pro-
fessor Lerwick is the only exponent of
the art The car of Russia is now
having % officers of the Swedish army
teach the exercises to his soldiers and
they are in use in the German army.
A class for men and women has been
started for instruction every evening
except Saturday in the Ling method of
physical exercises. and besides Ler-
wick's two men assistants a woman is
present to assist the ladies'.
