PATRICK CALHOUN INDICATED
Defeat of Attorney Heney Sail to
Have Been u Personal Triumph.

San Francisco, CAL, Nov. 5.-The
election Tuesday brought to an end
the bitterly fought battle OF Spreck-
els, Phelan, Heney and their follow
ers, forming the so-called graft pros
ecution, for the election Of Francis
j. Heney as district attorney Of the
city and county of San Francisco.
Heney is overwhelmingly defeat
ed. His opponent, Charles NJ. Flick
ert, while young and heretofore
comparatively unknown attorney, Is
graduate of Stanford University,
and man Of the highest integrity
and character. Personally he has
made All interesting figure. Flick
ert is young giant. He stands six
feet four, was on the Stanford foot
ball team and Is an all-round athlete.
The result Of the election was In
part due to Fickert's clean, high
character, but this alone could not
account for the overwhelming defeat
OF the so-called graft prosecution.
Fickert, In his declaration that he
did not and would not belong to or
be under the orders Of any man or
men in the discharge of his official
duties, was believed by the public at
large. On the other hand, the great
majority Of the people of San Fran
cisco have come to feel, it Is alleged,
that Heney was no more than the
privately paid attorney Of Rudolph
Spreckels, and that the office of dis
trict attorney would be turned over
to the control of a private individ-
ual. 1T is well known that Heney
and his law partners have received
large sums of money from Spreckels,
who organized street railroad to
compete with the existing company,
whose president, Patrick Calhoun,
has been the chief object Of the pros
ecution's attack.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR COTTON.
Germans Have u Fibr--lt Is the
Same Old Bear Bluff.

A dispatch from Berlin, Germany,
says:
Owing to the high price of cotton,
the German textile experts have been
turning their attention to other
fibers that might be used as a substi-
tute. Recently a spinning company
at Chamnitz has succeeded in spin
ming the fiber contained In the seeds
of the kapok, or silk cotton tree, Of
the tropics. In its natural state this
fiber cannot be spun, owing to it's
extreme brittleness. but Prof. Gold
berg, of Chamnitz, has found me-
thod Of treating it to make it spin
nable; and the yarn Is described as
having a peculiarly soft, silky feeling
The fiber has hitherto been used as
a padding material for furniture, and
in making pillows and similar arti-
cles, and 1t has answered this pur-
pose SO well that the cultivation of
the tree has already been introduced
into the German colonies Of New
Guinea and East Africa.
The fiber has the advantage of be-
ing considerably cheaper than cot
ton, but no Information is at hand
showing the wearing qualities Of fab
RIGS made from kapok yarn.

pELLAGRA CONFERENCE ENDED.
DIR. j. w. Babcock Elected President
of the Association.

Columbia, Nov. 4.-The National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of Pellagra was formally or
ganized here tonight at the conclu-
sion of two days conference on
pellagra, attended by more than three
hundred physicians, the first meeting
of national scope held in this coun-
try for the study of the disease. DR..
j. w. Babcock, superintendent of the
South Carolina State Hospital for the
Insane, at Columbia, was elected
president of the association; DR.. w.
A. White, superintendent of the Uni
ted States Hospital for the Insane,
Washington, ID. c., vice president,
and DR.. George A. Zeller, superin-
tendent Of the State Hospital for the
Insane, Peoria, ILL.,, secretary-treasu-
rer. Later, vice president for each
State interested in the movement
will be named.
The first annual Pellagra Congress
to be held under the auspices of the
association Is scheduled for June,
1910, in Peoria, ILL.,, which city was
chosen without contest.
The association, following the pre-
sentation Of forty odd addresses and
papers by men prominent in the med
ical profession, covering a wide range
of investigation of pellagra in the
United States and foreign countries,
UNANIMOUSLY adopted the following
resolutions, presented by DR.. ]. H.
Way, Of the North Carolina board of
health:
Resolved, That this conference rec
ognizes the widespread existence of
pellagra in the United States, and
urges upon the National Government
the necessity of bringing it's powerful
resources to bear upon the vital ques-
tions of its cause, prevention and
control.
Resolved, That while sound corn
Is in no way connected with pellagra,
evidences of the relation between the
use of spoiled corn and the preva-
lence of pellagra seem so apparent
that we advise continued and sys-
tematic study Of the subject, and, in
the meantime, we commend to corn
growers the great Importance of
fully maturing corn upon the stalk
before cutting the same.
Resolved, That the work of this
conference be brought to the atten-
ton of the various State and Terrific
rial boards of health, and they seve-
rally be urged to specially investigate
the disease, particularly as regards
its prevalence, and that they also see
that proper inspection of corn pro-
ducts sold in the various States be
had.
One of the most interesting ad-
dresses OF the conference was deIiv-
cred tonight by DR.. Sara A. Castle,
of Meridian, Miss, who made the
somewhat startling statement that of
the many cases of pellagra which she
had treated since it was first recog-
nized In Meridian, six of the patients
were socially prominent in the city
and five of these died. 1t Is not nee
essarily a disease confined to the
poor, according to prevailing popular
impression, declared DR.. Castle. All
of her patients were eaters of corn
bread and grits. She stated also
that several Of her hookworm pa
tients developed pellagra and died.

Owens fought hard trying to re-

in the iron and steel trade continues,

now the problem is becoming that OF

ton is improved by the progress made
in the work of tariff revision.
In view of the widening area of in
dustrial activity, better employment
of labor and high pr:ces for commo,
dities, the fact that the supply o.
banking credits in the leading finan-
cial centers continues large with rates
for loans generally low, is signifi-

In Yesterdays Stock Market-Steel
Stocks Continued to be the Cen
ter OF Interest.

New York, July lG.-United States
Steel remained the center of interest
in the stock market today, but did not
so nearly monopolize the attention
as In yesterdays one-sided market.
The general tone was firm in spite OF
the exceeding dullness and special
stocks made sharp advances. The In
flow of cash from the interior still
continues, although on diminished
scale, so that AN offset TO this decrease
is to' be reckoned, but it is estimated
that the net decrease in cash may
reach the neighborhood OF sS,00GO0o.
Besides this there Is expected to be a
continuation of gold exports 10 Argen-
tins
The official report of our foreign
trade for June sufficiently explains
why the foreigners are able to control
international eXdhangS5. The defi-
cheney in food stuff exports restricts
the value of outgo, while the imports
have risen $32, 5S7. 900 over those of
June last year leaving S7.000.000 ex-
cess value of imports. Not since 1897
has there been an excess of imports
values over exports from any single
month
The customs receipts at New York
prove this import movement is undi-
minished. payments during the past
week averaging over million dollars

the belief that this rush If imports
