THEATERS LOSE CASE.
Must Bear Expense for Changes Re-
quired Following IroquOis Fire.

Chicago, Nov. 29.-Theaters which
were closed and compelled to make
changes in their buildings after the
Iroquois IRE, which cost nearly 600
lives seven years ago, will have to
bear all the expense incurred by the
action of the city government, accord
ing to a decision of the branch appel
late court.
In test cast, that of the Peoples
theater, to recover $50, 900 spent by it
in complying with the ordinances
passed on January IS, 1904, to pre-
vent a repetition of the terrible Iro-
quois disaster, and $4,000 alleged
damages it suffered from the closing
of its doors and the reduction of its
seating capacity, a total of 0,000, the
court ruled that the city was not liable.
This was only one of long list of
amusement houses that began legal
proceedings, but the test case will be
dropped now.

A jury was impanelIed in the case

The case of the Union Pacific Land
company VS.. John A. Hause is on the
court calendar for Wednesday. In this
case the plaintiff alleges it was the
owner and entitled to possession of
certain lands in Sheridan county, Kan
sas, which it is charged was unIaw-
fully kept out of the company's posses
sion by the defendant. The company
asks $1,000 damages.
H. B. Sanborn of Amarillo. Texas,
is suing the Linscott State bank of
Holton, Kansas, for $14,500 damages
for alleged conspiracy to defraud the
plaintiff of certain notes which he
owned. The case will be tried We'd
nesday. Sanborn, in his petition
states that he borrowed $4,000 of the
First National bank of Holton, and for
the purpose of securing the payment
of the note, pledged as collateral Sc
curitv five Vendors lein notes dated
March 81, 1909. Each of the notes
were for principal sums of $4,000, due
one. two, three, four and five years
from date.
The plaintiff claims that later the
Holton bank sold, endorsed and trans
ferred these notes and all collateral to
the defendants. He says the First Ma
tional of Holton ceased to exist before
the Iinscott bank started business.
Sanborn says that when the note was
given he took a, receipt for the cOllat-
eraI and that it was to have been de-
iivered to c. H. Whitehead. of Kansas
City, upon payment of the note. The
petition says that Sanborn was at all
times ready to meet the So, 900 note
when it fell due and that on September
25. 1909, he wrote the bank asking
when the paper would be due. The re-
plv said it would be due in December.
Sanborn says that the Linscott bank
then took advantage of him and con-
spired "for the purpose of cheating
and defrauding the plaintiff at a gross
" inadequate price, 1t is charged
that the defendants then pretended to
hold sale of the notes pledged by
Sanborn as collateral and that Sidney
S. Linscott, as cashier of the bank
sold the notes at auction to his broth
er, w. K. Linscott, who is said to have
paid S., ,205 for the paper. Sanborn de-
clares that this sale was void and asks
damages in the amount OF $14.5 and
interest on the collateral notes from
March 81, 1909.
In the case of Robert c. Rawlins, of
Lawrence, against J. A. Henley, the
plaintiff claims So, 200 commission for

Rawlins' petition says that Henley
owned the controlling stock in this com
pany and that the plaintiff was engag-
ed to sell the stock. The stock was sold,
so Rawlins says. for $4,000. Now Raw
Inns wants 20 per cent commission. The
case will be heard Wednesday.

From a kindred species these are sometimes called cardamons but they are now better known as malaguesta. The leaves of this plant are long and of a light glossy green: the flowers grow close to the ground, stretching upward from hidden roots. The flowers are succeeded by flat. oblong fruit which when ripe are about five inches long and yellow, russet or scarlet in color. On account of the sweetness of it's pulp the fruit is a favorite food of the gorilla. With a shiny dark brown color on the outside and d white kerncr the seed is not larger than hemp seed. and spicy.
 The malaguesta. on account of its spicy and aromatic qualities was highly priZed by Europe and was the foundation of most of the spices and flavoring of its drinks and viands. al though for some unknown reason it does not now appear among Liberian exports 1t is thought that if the val uable properties of this pepper were known in the United States there would be a large demand therefor.

 Another pepper is made from the fruit of the Xylopia aethiopica, tree which grows from thirty to sixty feet high This is known under various names-African, Guinea or Negro pep per.

TEMPERATURES AND THE RARE
 METALS.

Within the last 200 years about fifty metals have been discovered. Most of them. it is true, have been looked upon by the world as curiosities. and they have been relegated to the dusty shelves of chemical museums in tiny little vials, as concrete samples of the wonderful achievements of modern chemical research. Occasionally theY would be referred to by some writer gifted with a vivid imagination, who would call to mind their extreme rarity and their fabulous value-but only as chemical curiosities and never as sub stances that would be of use to man. kind. Then the little vials would be put back on the shelves, out of night. out of mind, until the public again wished to hear the dreams of gallium. aluminium, germanium and tungsten. and to estimate what it would cost to make a pound of these rarities.
 With the advent of the electric fur mace and the use of temperatures hith erto unheard of. these little vials have been taken down from the dusty shelves. One by one the rare metallic oxides have been introduced to the fearful heat of the flaming arc. and re- duced to the form of pure metals; and these rare metals, now rare no longer on account of the chsapness of reduc- ton and the abundance of ore. are talk ing their places in the sphere of in- dustrial activity. The little, dust-cov- cred vials are looming up. and keen. hardheaded scientists are studying them with view to their possibilities and the best means as to their utiliza tion.-J.

VICTIMS in TURN
Last Of Them Applied Yesterday
for Place on Waiting List
Of Camp.

Camp Society received another addi-
ton Yesterday when the young mother
of two children, smitten with con /.
sump ton. applied for a place In the

had delayed long in asking aid in her
fight against disease, and she spent
her last dollar on medicine before her
pride would let her come and ask
that her name be added to those OF
the eleven who are counting the hours
until the camp shall open
At the Nurses Settlement, 20l East
Cary Street, Miss Mamie Minor told OF
the new applicants long fight and in
cidentally told how consumption is be-
ing spread through entire families in
the absence of any place where Incl
pient cases can be treated, we have
known the woman for a number OF
years." Miss Minor said land we have
always found her to be resolute In her
determination to earn living for her
self. Her last child had very hard
time during its second summer, and
our nurses visited her frequently, and
learned her story. She is the last Of a
family of five. all OF whom have died
of consumption.
Son Victim, Too.
From what L can gather of the
case" said Miss Minor, the first to
contract the disease was this womans
sister, who worked in a factory in
Lynchburg, She was stricken down.
and before she died, the mother who
nursed her was attacked by the dis
ease.
In his efforts to save her, the wo-
mans son gave up his place and de-
voted himself to her, He, however,
merely gave himself as victim with
her. for the mother had not been dead
year before the man died, This left
only the woman who came to see me
to-day and her father, The old man
was very strong, and he had with
stood the disease when the other menu
hers OF the family had been taken with
1t, but the house In which they lived
must have become infected. for the ola
man died last year, Just when the wo-
man's husband left her without any
known reason"
Miss Minor takes hopeful view of
the campaign being made to complete
the camp, and expests that sufficient
