: DALTON, Ga, Dec. 26.-Pink Miller
occupies. a cell in jail here because of
having assaulted an, officer with a. bot
tie filed within whisky, while the officer
was arresting Miller's father who was
alleged to have been intoxicated. The
affair happened here Saturday after
noon
There are various versions to the ar
fair, the story of Dr.. W. E. Wood, ex-
mayor of Dalton. Policeman Cook ar
rested Miller after he had assaulted
Policeman Brittin with the bottle. DR..
Wood was present and ran from his
buggy to the struggling men to pre-
vent Cook from clubbing Miller. He
states that the officers work was in
human in the extreme After Miller
had been placed in the patrol wagon,
DR.. Wood states that Cook STRUCK him
two vicious blows. with his club.
Cooks fellow officers, however, state
that his conduct was not brutal but nee
essary. -
Millers blow on Policeman Britton
came near proving serious. The Of
ficer suffered intensely for hours, one
ear being almost cut from his head
when the bottle broke, Filled to the
neck with whisky, the bottle was a
heavy weapon, and 1t was thought for
time that the officers skull was frac-
tured. 1t was thought that Miller was
seriously injured. but both men are
now recovering. A,.k.

MANY GREAT PROJECTS
PLANNED BY PITTSBURG

PITTsBURG, Dec, 26.-It is doubtful
IL Pittsburg and its industrial district
ever before planned a greater or more
important series Of projects than are
to be submi tied to the state and nation-
al legislatures this week Concisely out
lined the movements are as follows:
For Pittsburg to Lake Erie ship
CANAL for the annexation of contiguous
boroughs so as to make the city in the
million population class; the revision of
the city charter so as to permit govern
ment by commission: federal and state
aid to prevent the annual flooding of the
city by its three rivers; the creation of
a. city planning commission; permission
for the city to construct $10, 600 900
subway to eastern suburbs enlarge
ment of powers of the state railway
commission so that it may have au-
thority in traction matters in Pittsburg
and revision of, the school code so that
school boards may be elective instead
of being appointed by the courts.
The 'pretentious canal schemes though
years old. Is still embryonic, but at a
recent meeting here of representative
men from Ohia, West Virginia and
Pennsylvania, the movement was en-
Enthusiastically received and a permanent
association formed to further the pro-
ject. According to the latest plans the
cost of s50,OOOC0O would be divided be-
tween the three states interested and
control vested in joint commission. 1t
is desired in some quarters that the
work be done by United States army en-
gineers. Both congress and the state
legislatures will be approached and ask
ed to consider the movement

JAP DENTISTS PULL
TEETH WITH FINGERS
They Begin Training Early.
With Nails Driven in
Boards
Especial Cable to The Journsl)

PARIS, Dec. PA newspaper here pre-
sents to its readers an account of the
methods employed by the japanese dent
list. which although, perhaps not quite
new is OF sufficient interest to warrant
its publication.
The dentist draws teeth with his myers
without the aid of any Instruments. he
takes the head Of the patient in such
way that the mouth must remain open.
Putting the thumb and index finger into
the patients mouth the Jap draws five,
six. OF seven teeth in a minute, as the
case may be. the patient during this pro-
cess being unable TO close his mouth.
This remarkable proves in extract
ing teeth Is attributed TO the training the
dentist undergoes in early youth. To
strengthen the fingers for their later
work the tyro commences by practicing
on nails which are driven into a plank
placed on the ground. He has to pull
out the nails without moving. the board.
At the beginning of this nail-pulling a
soft wood is used, and then harder wood
up. to oak or something still harder. An
apprentice is not considered proficient
in his art until he can draw the nails
from the hardest wood without moving

EUROPE is IN HOOK;
THERE'LL BE NO WAR


CHICAGO, Dec. 26.--All Europe Is in
hook to its ''uncles'' Therefore there will
be no war for many years to come be-
cause the "pawnbrokers'' will not per-
nit anything which will impair the
loans they have made.
Briefly, those are the conclusions of
David Starr Jordan, president of Leland
Stanford university, as he delivered them
last night in. a lecture on "the old peace
with velvet sandaled feet at Abraham
Lincoln center. .s-e H+ ". 1~g i
"All civilized nations are owned or con-
trolled," Mr.. Jordan said, '+for they say
there is a difference between owning and
a railroad, though some of us
cannot quite grasp the distinction.

nickels. I've got so tired of nickels, at
times. that / would make an extra plea,
saying For Gods sake. give me dime!'
Its hard to get a woman's attention,
but once you've got it the money comes
easy. Women always give more than
men. The other night when was on the
street with DR.. Ben Reitman the king
of the Tramps,' l saw an old lady and a
young one together Just for fun
braced them. Remember, lady, 1 said,
a son of your own, If you have one.
She gave me 81, and the young lady gave
me the same amount. Women rarely give
less than a quarter" 1r
why do you beg?'I asked him.
Il do it to show people how foolish 1t is
to give money away to beggars. That
only makes more beggars. The thing
we must do is not to help beggars. but to
prevent men from becoming beggars.
We try to reform them in our jails The
real thing is to keep men from becoming
thieves. tN
How can we do that? I'll answer you
by telling you about the city in which a
man can't possibly beg kagway, Alaska.
There. IL you beg man is likely to tell
you to come around to a certain digging
and take a job. If you ask for meal in
q restaurant they'll not only give you one
meal, but also meal ticket for 10 more,
and trust you for payment. They know
that work is plenty. A man simply has
TO work. Nobody makes him do 1t. There
is no feeling against beggars. 1t just
naturally works around that every
healthy man works.
las soon as everybody in this country
gets square deal and an equal chance
with everybody else to work, there will be
no more beggars and no. more poverty

WITH THE TRAINMEN

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-With the wage
controversy between the western rail-
roads and the locomotive engineers adj
justed amicably, the managers are
ready to resume negotiations with tn.
trainmen and conductors IN the hope
that the stae may be wiped clean by
he new year.
Seventy-five Thousand trarnmen and
conductors on all the railroads west OF
Chicago are involved in. the controver-
sy. They are demanding a wage IN
crease of about 15 per cent. On ac-
count of the critical stage which the
negotiations with the engineers reach
ed at the end of last weeks CONFER
ences with the trainmen and conduc-
tors were adjourned temporarily. They
will be resumed tomorrow and IT is ex-
pected that before the end Of the week
an agreement may be reached.
The brotherhood of railroad tram
men and the order of railway conduc-
tors are acting jointly in the negotIa-
tions. The managers, 1t is understood,
have offered the men flat increase or
10 per cent over existing schedules but
the offer does not include any change
in working rules. AS each rule means
money to the men they say tney are
more anxious about rules than they are
about an Increase.
So far the conferences have been
marked by harmony and it is said
there is little danger of break.

yesterday passed the governments pad

sCanalejas. obtained after a bitter fight
not only the opposition in
Spain, but of the vatican. whose seal of
.disapproyal was set upon the legislation
even before it had been, submitted to thu
cortes,
As originally drawn the bill prohibited
the creation of further religious estao-
lishments in the country until the re-
vision of the concordat had been com
pleted or definite laws on the subject
passed.
In the senate the government accept
ed the amendment of Baron Sacre Lirio
limiting the period of Introduction against
new congregations to two years.
The senate passed the measure on No
vember a. .the;vote being 214s to IS. The
majority in the upper chamber was
greater than had been expected, and
it's passage in the lower house was a
surprise.
The objection to the measure by the
that, whereas negotiations were under
way for the revision of the concordat of
1851, Spain could not I'm good faith adopt
any legislation adversely affecting the
congregations until these negotiations
had been concluded. It was claimed that
in the meantime the status quo should
be maintained.
'Canalejas insisted upon program of
religious liberty and maintained that the
matter covered by the paddock bill' was
not properly a subject of diplomatic ex-
change between Madrid and Rome. In
this attitude he has appeared to have
the support of King Alfonso. t
Much bitterness was engendered and
Canalejas,' himself an avowed Catholic,
bore the brunt of the clerical opposition.
As consequence of the unchanged po-
sitions of the government and the vat
lean, the negotiations over the concor-
dat were Interrupted and the relations
between Madrid and the holy see are
severely strained. Us
