directed against the party now in the
San Jose mountains, who have four

value of which is estimated at $1,000
sold. The value of the capture made
al Villa Verde Saturday night is $500.
a case Of rifles was taken from the

consignees. MeSicans valued at $3.50.
This makes d total of approximately
$500 worth OF arms and ammunition
bought by the malcontents, and if the
authorities are cognizant of one-half
the arms that have been smuggIed they
have done remarkably well. which
would indicate that large sum has
-been devoted TO arm the AIexicans in
Cananea and Sonora.
Wholesale Arrests
one hundred and twenty additional

zoo more arrived this morning There

wholesale arrests in Cananea and sur

do not anticipate any trouble. 1t is.
regular occurrence for trouble to be
expected or at least talked about three
or four times a year. but nothing seri-
. Gus has happened there since 1906.
p Protecting Americans
Precautions have been taken for
protecting the Americans, however,
since the capture Of arms and ammuni-
-1ion and the recent arrests.
The Cananea stores quit selling arms
and ammunition some time ago in order
that the excitable ones could not pro-
cure weapons.
Word from Cuaymas is that troops
have been dispatched to ManzaniIIo on
the lower Mexican coast, where trouble
is smoldering and where the troops and
anti-revolutionists have already had

Plea for Sound Meat

Doctor Brodrick. for the anti-tuber-
culosis society, answered the objections
to the law.
What if it does cost $4,000 per
year he said. ito guarantee that all
San Francisco's meat has the same high
standard enforced in interstate trade
by the federal inspection?
As for the manufacture of sausage.
that is especially dangerous, for much
OF the sausage is consumed raw" Later
he explained that the sausage meat
should have it's own inspection, even if
all meats were previously gone over.
for you can't build wall around
San Francisco, and some meat might
come in and find its way to the sausage
mills which had not passed MUSTER
Brodrick said that the meatmen
should welcome instead of opposing a
meat Inspection bill which required the
high standard of the federal practice.

TRAVELLERS IN SKY

IN UESSELDORF, Germany, June %.
IL Aerial passenger service began
today.
Count Zeppelin's huge new dirigible
balloon. the Deutschland. carrying 20
passengers, voyaged 800 miles from
Friedrichsafen to Dusseldorf.
1t was the trial trip of the first
aerial liner in the worlds history; the
voyage was made precisely on the
schedule that had been laid out and
with the time accuracy of crack
steamship or express train.
And the floating vehicles voyage
today was preliminary to a regular
airship service between the two cities,
which will begin Friday.
Zeppelin in Command
Count Zeppelin. that wonderful man
of Y years, the Duetschland's inven-
tor and constructor. was at once COM
mander and chief engineer during the
voyage
The average speed maintained was
about So miles an hour, but the ia
miles between Friedriehsafen and Stutt-
CART were traversed at an average rate
of Al miles an hour.
The best average for a single hour
was 4S1k miles The 500 miles We're
covered in almost exactly hours.
The weather was beautifully clear
and only gentle breezes were stirring.
The great Deutschland propeHers
worked smoothly.
The route by way of Stuttgart, Mann
helm and Cologne to Duesseldorf had
been carefully marked out for Count
zeppelin's guide and was followed. ex-
actly. The hour and minute that the
dirigible would probably pass various
points had been bulletined ahead. that
not only the people of the cities on the
line who filled the streets but the in
habitants of all the intermediate viii

siastically as the immense torpedolike
structure with it's noisy screws drove

Rain Falls at Start


The immense vessel steered as easily
as an automobile, without trace OF
swaying. AS she arose from Lake Con
stance at Freidershafen at daybreak q.
light rain was falling. but it soon gave
way to brilliant sunshine. little
later the airship passed over the vast
expanse which the swollen rivers have
inundated; the passengers heard dis
tinctly the rush of the flood down the
Neckar.
The Deutschland cruised across
Mannheim, whose streets, laid on tri-
angle plan. made it look like distant
chessboard After the airship reached
the Rhine she passed inland. but was
over the Rhine again, opposite Bingen.
AS the monster vessel at a height of
500 feet, dashed over the narrow gorges
of the Rhine. Lorelie rock. Rheinfels
castle and the walls of Bacharach were
crowded with people, whose cheers
were family borne up to the voyagers.
Tea is Served
At 5 o'clock tea and champagne was
served. The time aboard sped so pleas
antly and swiftly the passengers were
as surprised as the people of Duessel-
dorf when the great airship reached the
town two hours ahead of the expected
time.

Leather Favors Germs

McNutt called attention TO the fact
that the leather straps were better
breeding ground for germs than some
other substances and to the holdover
accumulative effects of using the same
old strap year after year until it
dropped off from ag. and rottenness.
Chairman Healy then assented to
McNutt's suggestion that the health
board should recommend something to
take the place of the present nuisance,
and the committee took up the meat
inspection matter.
Health Officer McNutt repeated the
health boards stock arguments against
the meat inspection ordinance and in
favor of its proposed substitute. He
said that the meat inspection law would
require "a inspectors for the sausage
manufacturing plants alone, or 35 in
all, and it was too expensive There
had been no epidemic in San Francisco,
the doctor said, from the use of sausage
meat, and he didn't think there would

Hangers Might Be Stolen

Supervisor Loughery suggested that
hangers should be installed which were
snapped on the bars instead of being
riveted fast, SO that they might be
taken off and fumigated every night.
That wouldn't do,' said Black. Some
people would walk off with them"
"Then l suppose the solution is for
everybody to carry his own strap
around with him and attach himself
when he boards a crowded car" said
Loughery.
Somebody suggested that the right
way was to provide seats for everybody
and do away with hangers altogether.
Black began a discourse on the
United Railroads sanitary use of
straps. He said the company wasn't
partial to leather, as it was expensive
AS for fumigating the straps what was
the use? They would just get dirty
again, and besides germs were to be

Black Defends Straps

After listening to the defense by
General Manager Black of the United
Railroads of the present leather straps
in the cars, Chairman Healy stated
that the committee would ask the
health board to recommend sanitary
substitute and in the meantime would
take the proposed ordinance prohibit
ing the use of leather straps under ad-
visement.
Health officer McNutt opened fire
with the statement that the present
leather straps could not be disinfected
properly.
Supervisor Nelson, by way of diver
sion. asked McNutt how about the
towels to be found in many bar
rooms. McNutt was not to be side
tracked.
Il never visit such places, he said.

THINGS OF INTEREST.

One of the wonders of Mexico is a
mountain of iron situated at Durango
The mountain is about one mile long by
half a mile wide. Its height ranges
from $50 to 600 feet 1t is estimated by
engineers that it contains 100000
tons of iron above ground. Mining the
ore upon the mountain has been carried
on at intervals for the last thirty years,
and at one period in its history large
works were established near its base for
the purpose of utilizing the ore This
great mountain of iron rises out of the
level plateau upon which the city of
Durango is situated and is an interest

TO TEST MANS POWER

Students at the University of Penn
sylvania are enthusiastic over a remark
able machine that has just been installed
which determines the will power and
working ability of each person that uses
it. The hand is strapped to handle
connected with the machine. The only
part left free of action is the center fin
ger. This works level that controls
the machine. By working the free fin
ger up and down the machine is set in
motion, and the pencil at the other end
marks the force of the movement. AS
the force of the finger weakens, the
strokes of pencil get narrower until they
make mere dot, and at last cease alto
gether as the will power of the operator
gives out.
