SENATOR OWEN HAS FEAR
OF THE BUB0NlC PLAGUE
There is Great Danger from
SuppressInE Information.

WASHINGTON, March 7.-Although not
sure of obtaining either, the advocates Of
a governmental division whose duty 1t shall
be to look after the question of the health
of the country, are IN CONFLICT as TO whether
they shall press for the establishment OF
a department with aamember of the cabinet
at his head, or a mere bureau whose chief
would be a subordinate to some other Of
ficlal with no Independent voice of his own.
Senator owen Of Oklahoma is moving for
a department, while a committee of 100
having tho matter generally in hand is
championing the establishment Of a bureau.
Action in the interest Of the bureau has
had the effect of calling out a vigorous
protest from MT. Owen. He has written a
letter to Giving Fisher of New York, in
which he says he viii stand for the larger
service until 1t becomes evident that sue
cess Is impossible, In which event he would
accept half a loaf"
In the course Of his letter, Senator owen
says;
THE lack of a department of public
health has permitted the bubonlc plague to
infect the country contiguous to San Fran
cisco through the ground squirrel and wood
rat for over 100 miles. While the CONNER
cal bodies Of San Francisco suppressed the
truth and made ineffective the efforts OF
one bureau to suppress it, A department
Of public health could not be suppressed
by the Board Of Trade, but could make it's
energies effective, while a bureau was sup
pressed, and the United States Is now in a
fair way to be affected with the bubonlc
plague from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
just as India Is through similar processes

WASHINGTON, March 6.-News Of the
death Of former Senator Plat was received
by his friends I'm both the senate and house
Of representatives with expressions Of deep
regret. Senator Depew, when told Of the
death Of his former associate In the senate
from New York, said:
Il have known every public man In my
time in this country, and also many from
other countries, but Senator Plat was a
unique character. He possessed a mania
for organization which, II applied to bust
ness, would have made him a wonderful
power in the business world. Political Or
ganization was his, delight, and for lis
sake he sacrificed every pecuniary advant-
age that ever came to him.
The long leadership which he held in
New York politics was never broken until
his physical condition during the last few
years made II impossible for him to retain
his hold. The great source OF his power
was his absolute loyalty to his friends. He
was never vindictlVt in his enmities, and
II he found that an enemy could be useful
to him and was willing to, compromise. he
would be accepted and treated as s~quarely
as a friend.'

AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Commercial Club Worried About
Unsightly Walks Over City.
BRICKS ON POOR FOUNDATIONS
Whole Blocks Have Become ImRas-
sRbIe-Laymen's Movement Given
Strong Boost at Methodist
Meeting.

The folly of putting down brick side
walks on an insufficient foundation has
been illustrated in scores of places In South
Omaha with these mild days of spring.
The freezing Of the winter has heaved the
ground and the sand foundations have be-
come saturated with water and In numer-
Gus places have developed a quicksand
which makes every brick yield under the
foot. Many walks have bulged in the mid
die until the mud underneath has forced
its way up through and overturned the
brick for a block az a time. This is IL
Illustrated by the walks on Twenty-fourth
street between e and f streets, between
@ and II streets and in numerous other sec
tions. In some of these walk water pipes
have broken under them which causes them
to be undermined. The walks may settle
down again in two or ihree weeks, but in
the cases mentioned 1t Is likely they may
have to be relaid.
This condition Of the sidewalks led the
Commercial club to take action at its last
weekly meeting. Cognlzance was taken Of
the dangerous condition Of the walks on
Twenty-fourth street between NJ and l.
and between l. and X streets.
The least expensive walk, according to
the city engineer is a good grade Of &C.
ment. The first cost is great, but the dura-
bility and sightllness Of the walks make
ii by far the most desirable. These mat
ters will probably be a subject for discus
sion at the council meeting this evening.

tory at New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, March 7. - Johnny
Coulon, bantam weight champion, scored a
knockout in the nlnteenth round of his
battle with Jem Kenrick, the English
claimant of this title, late yesterday.
This Is Coulon's second victory over Ken
rick within three weeks. In the first match
he was given the decision at the end Of the
tenth round.
A crowd of about 10000 people surrounded
the west athletic club arena at McDon
oughville, Just across the river from New
Orleans and shouted themselves hoarse
when the American put the tired Britisher
down and practically out with a weight
blow over the heart. Kenrick staggered to
his feet In a lettering condition just be-
Iore the referee counted him out, 1t was
apparent, however, that he had been fin
ished and the fight was awarded to Coulon.
For the first five rounds the bout was
fast and spirited with honors even, After
opponent out and In the sixteenth, seven
teenth and eighteenth rounds he was
fioored repeatedly. Coulon finished the
fight unmarked and to all appearances as
fresh as when he started. A
Coulon's wonderfully fast. work was a
feature and he seemed confident of victory
and manager, was his chief second.
Nenrick, veteran of ten years ring ex-
perience, fought carefully, and agressively,
but slowed down perceptibly toward the
last. Jack Grace. veteran fighter and
trainer, was chief second for the Brltisher.

early rounds, and later split Jem's lips and
nose with straight punches to the face.
The fight was advertised to be for a
percentage and 1900 bet, but Coulon was
a hot favorite. In the betting. Two and one
and two and a half to one were the odds
against Kenrick at the ringside, but there
were few takers. Coulon. who finished
fresh and virtually unmarked embraced
Kenrick and supported the beaten man 10
his corner at the end of the bout and re-
ceived a great ovation. He grasped the
Stars and Stripes and waved them high
above his head while Kenrick was being
