WY ASHINGTON, Oct. II. - Charles
wv r. Crane of Chicago, minister
to China, today was practically
deposed by a demand from Secretary
Knox for his resignation.
Thus a new chapter in American
diplomacy was written. A citizen chos-
en- with special regard for his quail
fore he had embarked from San Fran
cisco and discharged from his high Of
flee because of alleged indiscreet dis
closures through the press.
Moreover, this minister, breaking
through all the old traditions, insisted
on defending himself from the asper-
sions cast on him by the secretary of
state by the issuance of a statement
commented on here as certain to be
embarrassing to the administration.
The history of this extraordinary af-
fair, which began about week ago.
with the announcement that Minister
Crane had been stopped at San Fran
cisco at the moment of embarkation by
a demand from Secretary Knox for his
crisis today when the secretary, in a
formal statement announced Mr.
Cranes resignation had been invited
and the minister designate replied in
an equally formal statement that while
his resignation already had been ten
dered to the president he felt himself
unjustly treated.
Reflects on State Department
Moreover, Mr.. Crane in his state
ment reflected severely on the state
department officials, charging that not
only hel they refrained from giving
him the instructions usually issued to
a minister or ambassador about to
leave for his post, but he had been
denied access to them even after he
had made repeated appointments with
them.
He enters a sweeping denial of the
charge that he gave out newspaper
story which is said to be the cause or
his deposition, and placed squarely on
the shoulders of President Taft the re-
sponsibility for the various utterances
he has made regarding conditions In
the Far East which have aroused the
ire of Secretary Knox, and for final ac-
tion on his resignation.
Secretary Knox absolutely declined to
discuss the statement of Mr.. Crane, re-
garding the incident as closed.

Peculiarly Of Jamaica That Greatly
Impressed Philadelphia
Physician.

A Philadelphia physician, lately re-
turned from a trip to Jamaica, was
greatly impressed with the almost to-
tai absence of many kinds of germs on
the island. Infection is so rare as to
be almost unknown, and 1t is not nee
essary for surgeons to take the pre-
cautions against 1t which are indis-
pensable here. II was amazed when

Kingston hospital" said the physician.
They used no antiseptics of any
kind, and did not even 90 to the
trouble OF sterilizing instruments. I
questioned the surgeons In charge,
and they said 1t was not necessary:
that there were so few infectious
germs on the island that healing was
almost never interrupted by infection.
If we should do work in any of our
Philadelphia hospitals as they do IL.
we would be overwhelmed with blood
poisoning and other cases of that
kind. They will not always have this
freedom from germs, however. Inter-
course with the United States and Eu-
rope will, in time, load them up with
germs, unless great precautions are
taken. II is a pity that such must be
the case, just as the introduction of
tuberculosis germs into America by
the white man was great pity The
Indians never had tuberculosis until
the Europeans came, and then they
were decimated by the disease.

tally free from malaria just because
they do not have malarial germs nor

the one of 1892. This came in re-
spouse to an order of the common
council, and James Hillhouse, after
whom Hillhouse avenue was named,
was the chief promoter. Atwater's
history says of this planting:
The great planting of the elms had
its inception In the order issued from
the common council, September %,
1884, and approved in city council June
5, 1887, for the laying out of Temple
street to Grove street. The avenue
through the Hillhouse farm, los fee
wide. now Hillhouse avenue. was sur
veyed and laid out and the elms
planted in 1892. Among the boys who
assisted were Ogden Edwards, born
in 1881, afterward a New York city
judge, and Henry Baldwin, born in
1873, afterward a judge of the SUI
preme court of the United States. The
latter once said In the presence of
Mrs. Worthington Hooker, then a
young woman, and a daughter of Gov
Edwards: L held many an elm while
Hillhouse shoveled in the earth Even
the girls caught the enthusiasm
There was, for instance, Caroline
Shipman, who became Mrs. Garnet
Duncan of Louisville, KY. She was a
daughter of Elias Shipman, a leading
merchant, who lived in the house now
occupied by the Quinnipiac club. She
watered the trees which Hillhouse
had planted along Chapel street in
front of her house, and with her OWL
hands set out an elm"
There was another large planting in
1889 by order of the common council,
when $50 naples were set out. The
trees which were started on these two
dates were at the height of their glory
about 1865, when the picture of the
famous Gothic arch In Temple street
was taken. The heavy storm of 1893
damaged them badly, and in 1900 a
commission was appointed to replace
those destroyed.
