will have to take the matter into
its own hands II the mikado does not
prevent the coming hither In any ap-
preciable numbers of japanese of the
laboring and small trading classes.
He says it is the duty of America
to wait to see whether Japan sue
ceeds in enforcing this policy, 'wheth-
er we do or do not believe that it will
be successful" But he adds:
IF the japanese government proves
unable to carry its policy through.
then undoubtedly this government. by
treaty OF by legislation, must protect
itself and secure the desired result on
its own initiative. But in such a case
it would be doubly incumbent upon US
to take the action in the way that
would provoke the least possible fric-
tion and cause the least possible hard

WlId Race In Auto Wlth Snake.


The coolness Of Allen Earring, OF
Richmond KY, has probably saved his
life. Mr. Earring is a miller, and dur.
ing the afternoon he was called to the
country on business. He made the trip
In an automobile.
After concluding his business he
returned to his machine. and after go
ing a few hundred yards a large cop
perhead snake crawled out from under
the rug on the floor of the machine
and wound itself around Mr.. Earring s
leg and the brake of the automobile.
The reptile extended his head in the
air and showed his fangs.
In his fright Mr. Earring pulled the
speed lever and let the machine go.
He came through Richmond with the
automobile going at full tilt, fearing to
put his hand on the brake All he
could do was to keep in the middle of
the road and trust to luck
A fellow autoist pursued the run
away machine to find out the trouble.
Coming up beside Mr. Earring, he saw
the snake and struck it with a buggy
whip, knocking it to the ground, where
it was run over by one Of the ma

Board Of Health Makes Tour.

The following letter was received b.
the Town Council on Monday last, anC
gives evidence that the members of tn,
present Board of Health are awake to the
verv best interests of the town:
To The Secretary of Town Council.
Dear Sir At a recent meeting of the
Board of Health | was ordered to notify
the Council that as a result of q tour OF
inspection of the town several matters not
exactly in the province of the Board OF
Health we're brought to our notice one
being the condition of the premises back
of the stores on the west side of Walnut
Street, from the river to South Front
Street. While we could not say that the
refuse back of these stores was in an un-
wholesome state, yet under certain con-
ditions disease might be disseminated
from there. Our complaint arises not
especially from this as from the danger Of
fire, which we ask Council to accept as
our cause of complaint against said con.
ditiOn. We recommend that the inham.
able matter be removed.
In our rambles about town we found
also a large amount OF rubbish and litter
on the southern extremities Of both Frank.
lin and Montgomery Streets; the stuff
being thrown right on the streets to the
impediment Of traffic, to say nothing of
the unsightly condition of the streets.
Back of Mrs. Thaw's home, on Pear Street,
is a pile of rubbish that should also be
removed. In the matter of the covering
of Fishers Run the Board of Health rec
Ommends that terra Gotta pipe Of diane
ter OF 20 inches be placed from Housman's |
house to the wharf, and that the expense
Of placing the piping be borne equally by |
the town on one side, and those persons
through whose property the run flows,
from Front Street to the River, along
with those persons whose sewage the run
acts as a drain for, equally on the other.
The Board ordered that Council be no.
titled to force Mrs. Elizabeth Clark to
either stop running refuse water upon
the street from the dwelling occupied bv
Charles G. Prettyman or to make sewer
for the property. Same thing
ordered for Mrs. Cornelia Bradley, owner
II the property occupied by Frank P.
rruitt on Causey Avenue.
We respectfully ask that Council sees
hat sewer connection as above ordered is
arried out both cases to be made within
WO weeks.
Very truly,
WIN. MARSHALL, JR., N. D.,
Secretary Board Of Health. !

are missing and all of them are be

gasoline launch sank in the middle
OF the Ohio river near Schoenville
four miles below Pittsburg. OF the
thirty occupants OF the boat only ten
are known to have escaped.
All the men were employees Of the
Pressed Steel Car company at their
McKees Rocks plant The men left the
works to cross the river in the launch.
The boat is said to have been intend
ed for not over twenty persons, and it
IL said it was dangerous to attempt to
carry as many as twenty-five in 1t. But
all the men wanted to get across the
river on the first trip Of the boat, and
thirty Of them crowded in.
AS the men started out in the boat
one of them is said to have remarked
that It seemed to him to he over
crowded and he feared 1t was not safe
to attempt the trip in 1t. When the
boat reached the middle Of the river
when the water is perhaps twenty feet
deep, the boat suddenly sank.
There was no explosion, no leak
was sprung, but the boat simply sank
beneath the weight It had been bear
ing and went to the bottom. AS 1t
sank It caused a suction which took
many Of the men down with It. Others
attempted to swim ashore. but were
chilled by the cold water and became
exhausted before reaching the shore.
So far as is known but ten of the men
reached the shore
The region is sparsely settled in the
vicinity where the accident occurred
and II was some time before news of
the accident spread. One OF the men
who succeeded in swimming ashore
ran to a telephone and gave the
alarm. Boats were at once put out in
the hope of rescuing some struggling
swimmer
