WILSON SAYS RAILROADS
MAY KEEP THEIR ADVICE

WASHINGTON. Nov. lS-Secretary James
Wilson, Of the department OF agriculture, says
that the railroads cannot assist him in his
administration by suggestions as to the necessity
Of encouraging farmers.
The department Of agriculture is on the job
all right, but We not wagfng advertising
campaign Just to show how busy we are"
This IL Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson's reply
20 President william O. Brown, OF the New
York Central railroad The lstters suggestion
was that the government economic warshfps
and instead establish experimental farms In
every state. Secretary Wilson declares 1t I'M
necessary,
we are already spending something like
SIS, 900 900 for the very sort Of work President
Brown speaks Of. Evidently he doesn't know
what is going throughout the country. We
are establlshfng experimental stations and farms
as fast as can and from these the govern
ment reaps indirect profit. 1t is the farmer.
OF course, who directly profits. We are helping
him to grow better crsps, larger crops, and more
diverse crops
''The government IL spending about s25o,OO
yearly In the war against the cotton boil weevil
IN the south; $3.50. 900 In the tick eradication
fight; we have spent large sums showing the
farmers Of the Pacific coast how to pack and
ship their oranges and fruit to eastern markets
without perishing and We are furnishing new
and better seed"

by MrB Ann Cocker, in her cell at the
city prison. after she had been arrested
for fatally shooting her husband, James
Coker. on an uptown street.
The Cookers reside three miles In the

Mrs. Sarah Reagan, a widow, said to be
the first wife of Coker, who recently re-
turned here from Cincinnati, where she
had resided for a few years, and until
her husband died.
Telling her husband last night that he
could not come to town unless she
came with him, he proceeded to show
her otherwise. Going to the house Of a
neighbor, Mrs. ColCer secured a pistol, fol-
lowed her husband to town and went to
a house where she believed he would be.
When within arms length Of the pair.
Mrs. Coker raised her pistol to fire. Co.

woman, and not her husband.

Governor Deneen Says Affair Is
a Disgrace to State of Illinois

CHICAGO. Nov. Eat his temporary
headquarters in the Union League club
here, Governor Deneen received a report
over the telephone shortly before IL
O'Clock from Sheriff Davis. at Cairo.
The sheriff declared the troops had the
situation in hand and that no further
violence had been committed. The Car
bondale company. the sheriff told Gov
ernor Deneen, on it's arrival early in the
morning, had been employed in the rail-
road yards. where the mob of $500 per-
sons at least, was searching for Alexan-
der and had dispersed the rioters. The
sheriff asked that the troops be left there
today and tonight.
This affair" said the governor, ais
not as serious thus far as IT might have
been, but it is serious enough and
a disgrace to the state of Illinois. The
disgrace will be more keenly felt by the
citizens of the commonwealth because it
is the second time within a few years
that lynchings and riots have stained the
name Of the state.
Troops are essential In such disturb
ances and 1 hope that the presence Of
the militia at Cairo today will bring the
organized mob to its senses"

occasional lamp fixed to a wall, the rag
picker's lantern is seen afar, and its ap-
pearance is the signal for the dogs to
arouse themselves.
They bark themselves hoarse with rage,
AS the man approaches they assemble and
continue barking furiously, while he, quite
accustomed to this demonstrative welcome,
pays no heed to them, picks over the pile,
then passes on his way to the next. which
he similarly inspects. The dogs, thinking
they rave scared hin off, chase him with
renewed noise to the edge of their terri
tory. where the neighboring band receives
him in like fashion.
Yet another nightly enemy to the dogs
is the beckji. or night Waterman, who
taps the pavement necessarily to let house
holders know that he is about. If a dog
happens to be in his path the beckji play
fully knocks II over with the heavy club
he carries. and the beast, having been
touched perhaps on some raw and tender
wound, sets up a prolonged wall of agony
in which other members of his band hasten
to join.
In the vicinity other bowls are heard:
the sound swells and swells until the glorl-
Gus mystery and peace of night is made
hideous with unearthly din. You can
imagine for a moment that hell is let loose
upon the earth.

PARIS LANDMARKS VANISH
The Dairy Balzac Made Famous is to
Be Demolished.
sIGHTsEERs MISS MANY RESORTS
Modern Court of Miracles, Resort OF
the Scum of Paris, IL Doomed,
and Famous Lunette, Last OF
Its Taverns, is Closed.

PARIS. Feb. 6.-Old Paris, good and bad,
is disappearing rapidly in these days Of
model tenements, public Fairgrounds and
skyscrapers. The church and state sepa-
ration law gave many of the old converts
over into the hands of builders who erected
ugly, sanitary, modern flat houses on their
sites, and the Commission de Vieux Paris
is having a difficult time in trying to pre-
serve for an ungrateful city its points OF
interest.
1t is true that the homes OF the poorer
class Of Frenchmen are hopelessly I'M
sanitary and comfortless, and there are
whole streets of old houses which could
be torn down for the good OF the public;
but unfortunately these are not the streets
which are vanishing, except In rare cases.
Just between the FAubourE St Honore
and the Boulevard HAussmann are sew
eral buildings which are to come down.
In one of these is the famous shop where
HonoIe de Balzac every morning bought
a penny's worth of milk. 1t is still a little
dairy and still trades on the name OF its
one great customer.
Balzac lived a few doors from there in
the Rue Fortune, rechristened afterward.
when he achieved fame, the Rue Balzac.
1NNA Nhch Aho duiuOI OF the COmeQl
Humane had become rich and great in
the eyes OF men, even after he had become
the social snob tradition charges him with
being, he still used to walk around to the
little dairy for a penny glass OF milk.
There are those who think that all this
precinct associated with Balzac should be
preserved, and the commission has tried
hard TO save 1t, but has failed, and all II
has succeeded in doing is to AXE some
pictures of the place and present them TO
the Musee CaTnavelet. The buildings
marked for demolition form the last vestiEe
Of the old village du Roule.
Another part OF Paris which is being
blotted out and is full OF traditions of quite
another sort is the modern Court OF Mira
cles. In Hugo's description of the Court
Of Miracles in "NOtre Dame" he makes
II the place where those who had been
blind all day suddenly regained their sight
where one-legged and armless men and
hunchbacks and decrepit beggars dropped
their affiotions. resumed their normal as
pect and counted the pennies they had
CLEANED from sympathetic passersby. In
modern lays the Court OF Miracles has
been situated in much the same quarter Of
old Paris. just between the Place Mau-
bert and the Church of st. SEVERN. 1t too
was the haunt Of rogues. ~vaEabonds and
thieves.

NUDITY FAD WORRIES DIET
Prussian SOlOns Condemn Naughty
Acts of Pretty Artists Model,
Leader of Movement.

BERLIN, Feb. 6.-(Special.) -If for no
other reason. Olga Desmond, a beautiful
artists model, can claim the attention of
the public through having been the sub
ject of discussion during a whole session
OF the Prussian Diet. Miss Desmond is the
leading spirit in a quite alarming craze
here known as the nudity movement"
which has spread with amazing rapidity
through the aristocratic classes and which
threatens to permeate the middle and lower
classes.
According to Herr Roeren, a member OF
the center, many societies already exist in
Berlin for the purpose OF holding social
evenings at which the members make their
appearance wearing a broad smile-and
little else. These gatherings were known
as beauty evenings and as a SOP to
public clamor they were recently classed
with theaters and music halls and thus
placed under the control OF the police. The
latter, however, have been slow In taking
action largely, It is said. because those
taking part were of exalted rank. =
At the discussion in the Prussian Diet
Herr Moltke. minister of the interior,
while criticixing the beauty evening" as
an abuse OF a good principle, went out of
his way to approve of a display OF the
nude.
"As to the limits Of what is permissible
in the representation of the nude" he said.
opinions differ widely. My own judgment
on this point is unalterably settled. The
beauty OF the human body as God has made
It Is as incontestable as 1t IL harmless. To
represent the human body in its beauty
has always been the highest aim and the
Justifiable endeavor OF every serious ana
scientific art. Who could feel anything
but ideal emotions at the sight OF the
Venus de Medici and other immortal
works."
This is not the first time that Olga Des-
mond has been in hot water. Although she
has changed her name she is the same
young girl who appeared In London a
little over a year ago as Olga Seldom. She
and her two brothers gave an extremely
artistic exhibition of living statuary at
the London pavilion until the public put
cry became so i~nsistent that both she and
the woman who posed as La Milo" were
compelled to adopt draperies OF withdraw
their acts. La Milo did the former while
the Seldons withdrew to Berlin. where
there was a more tolerant public. Since
then Miss Desmond. as she is now known,
has been a popular figure in high German
society, appearing at private functions
with as little suspicion OF clothing as was
possible to imagine. Her photographs were
hawked about the streets OF Berlin and
sold like hot cakes. She has a beautiful
figure and is wonderfully graceful and
effective in posing, While she was in
England two OF the foremost sculptors OF
France made frequent trips thsrs 70 OBJ

EQUALITY FOR THE JAPANESE

DENVER, Colo, Feb. Equality with

States or a very good and sufficient reason
why not is the demand of the Japanese in
America, according to Taxed Sogara, sec
rotary OF the japanese association Of Colo
RADIO.
consider ourselves superior as a race
to the Chinese, Koreans and other Asiatics
and we do not want to be classed with
them, and will demand our rights granted
the Japanese by treaty and under the con-
stitution Of the United States to be treated
on equal terms with the French, German
or American or any other nation" said
the secretary. The Asiatic scare OF the
Pacific coast amounts to little" he con-
tinued. THE number OF japanese in the
United States is decreasing and will prob
ably continue to do so. There are about
1900 japanese in Colorado and 500 in Dem

The statement that there are only 500
japanese in Denver is denied by Chief OF
Police Armstrong, who says that a con
sentative estimate shows between 5000 and
400 in this city.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-02-07

to a certain extent and in latter years the
espionage got irksome and only one tavern
remained OF all those which were the meet
ing places of the scum of Paris. This
last little cabaret kept open doors until a
few days ago.
1t was known as the Pere Lunette and
was in the Rue des Anglais. Now the
lease has expired and the old man who
kept it las given 1t up, as he has made
money from his ragged customers and is
going to retire into respectabillty in the
country.
The old cabaret itself will probably be
torn down. Ike so many Of it's neighbors.
for no commission OF old Paris will inter-
vene to save these haunts, though the
buildings are old and full OF traditions OF
a sort.
There was the Chateau Rouge, a cabaret
which went out OF existence some ten years
or so ago. II was also known as the Gull
lotine because of a picture on the wall
showing a guillotine with hundreds of Sc
vered heads piled around II and a flock OF
carrion crows lowering above. This master
piece was a tremendous favorite in the
neighborhood and the subject of many a
ribald joke.
Then there was the Maison Parent
NNAO1o Nv FAICCNs WueTo you COulQ sleep
on the floor for a penny. and the Maison
Gay. famous for its fried potatoes cooked
by Mime. Gay herself, a fat little Partisan
with a mustache a man might have been
proud OF. She was a fsvoite with her
clientele. for she did them many good
turns in saving them from the police.
These places have gone also and are only
traditions in the street.
1t was at the Maison Mort that the Beg
CARS Syndicate had its headquarters and
discussed plans for making a living with
out e%xertion over an excellent red wine.
OF late years. as has been said. Pere
Lunette has had practically a monopoly
Of trade and he has become famous I'm
spite Of himself. In the low, III smelling
room OF his cabaret was the most motley
crowd imaginable every evening. There
were itinerant singers and musicians. swal-
lowers OF ignited tow. dancers, strong
men, and in fact recruits from all those
performers who do their tricks in the
Paris streets for a few pennies.
Foreigners visited the Pere Lunette as
one of the city sights. Great ladies ven
tured into that heavy atmosphere and
thought they were having a wonderful
experience In stunning and perhaps run
ming into danger. The risk they ran was

The name Pere Lunette came from a
huge pair Of spectscles painted as a sign
outside, just over the door. Further ar.
tistic effects graced the inside OF the place
Hideous dsubs OF celebrities were the pride
Of the house. There was a picture OF

anatomical specimen, another OF Gam

with the fercest expression imaginable
and others OF notorious assassins and other
