rates from Cincinnati, Roanoke, Va,
and Lynchburg, Va, toWinston-Salem
and Durham, North Carolina. The
decision was rendered in the case OF
the Corporation Commission of North
Carolina against the Norfolk and West

Virginia cities, but ordered the reduc-
ton from the above mentioned points.

New York Politics.

New York, July 7.-Following the
intimation that Lloyd Griscom, chair
man of the republican county COM
mittee, has promised his support to
Theodore Roosevelt as leader of the
republican state organization and that
there is a likelihood that Roosevelt
will try to force the nomination for
governor OF a radical republican who
will be acceptable to the Hearst faction
in the state, came the declaration
today from democratic leaders that
there will be no slate for the coming
state convention. Instead it was de-
clared there will be an open conven-
ton, with the delegates making up the
ticket.
Charles F. Murphy, OF Tammany, is
responsible for the new plan. He de-
clarcd ut conference Of party leaders
here that unless this action there would
be an Independent ticket in the field
next fall that would draw so heavily
from the democrats us to ensure the
success OF the republican ticket despite
the unorganlZed condition OF that party
at present.
The district leaders were told that the
candidates for Governor would be given
a free hand at the September primaries
and that the first fight of the campaign
will come then. The avowcd candi-
dates are Congressman William Sulzcr,
Edward NJ Shcpard, OF BROOKLYN:
Thomas Mott Osborne, Of Auburn;
former Justice OF the Supreme Court
Cady Herrick and John B. Stanchfield.
Hcarst's lieutenants today said that
il any of the candidates outside Of Sulzer
should be nominated Hearst would
either endorse the republican candidate
or else run himself. Herealizcs that he
cannot transfer his following and his
friends predict that when he re-
turns here in August he will take a
hand at once i'll the campaign.

PaTRoLMAN CATCHES BABIES.

Fire destroyed the synagogue at That
ford and Dumont avenues, Brooklyn,
Yesterday, but the GOODNESS OF Mrs. Re
becca Schulman, daughter Of the care
taker, saved the lives of her two chill
dren. She tossed them from q window
to the arms OF Patrolman William j.
Goodburn, of the Brownsville station.
Come on, throw them down =
shouted the patrolman, standing on the
sidewalk, twenty feet underneath the
woman, who was half hidden by veil
OF smoke; Don't be afraid. "
Leaning far out Of the window, she
first dropped four months old Katie,
and then live-year old Hcshe.
They we're safe. Goodburn is an old
baseball player.
Then the woman climbed out OF the
window and was taken down a ladder
by Goodburn and Patrolman George
Walker.
The synagogue was destroyed.

no longer be called the white. mans
inferior. Prof. w. L. Hamilton, OF
the University OF California, whose
case seems more strange than all, cites
the outcome OF the Jeffries-Johnson
battle af proof of his contention. Prof.
Hamilton pointed out the progress made
by negroes and advanced the theory that
The blacks we're not separate race, but
are simply tanned Caucasians. he
predicted that within 800 years the black
race in America would be extinct.
Climate and intermarriage he said
would accomplish this result. This is
substantially the same hallucination
from which many people suffered about
the time Fred Douglass began to
lecture. The madady metamorphosed
John Brown into fanatic and for a
time impaired the intellects OF many
otherwise good men.

FLIES EIGHTY MILES AN HOUR

Glenn II. Curtiss yesterday evening
made another flight over the ocean
ut Atlantic City starting at $50 p. m,
and spending II minutes and ID
seconds i'm the air. Curtiss, on bis
return to the beach, declared that he
is entirely satisfied titan flying over
the sea is more certain that flights over
land because CT the less sudden changes
in air currents.
Failure to clear an incoming wave
as he attempted his FIRST start allowed
spray from the breakers to strike
the propeller of the machine, NOV
ing at 1,200 revolutions a minute.
The impact split one of the blades
and Curtiss only saved himself from
a tumble by a quick descent to the
beach.
Curtiss decided not to follows out
his first intention of attempting an
altitude flight, and instead made a
test for speed. After facing the east
erly wind to the Inlet he turned and
drove down the beach with the strong
breeze directly behind him at a speed
which he calculated touched SO miles
an hour.
Both in going with and against the
wind the plane held perfectly steady,
and Curtiss afterward made wide cir
Giles over the sea without finding any
bad air eddics.

SENATOR CORES TEMPER.

It has been learned from n personal
friend of Senator Gore, Of Oklahoma,
that the senator is prepared to give
startling evidence Of the attempt to
bride him to support the 10000, 900
grab Of Indian lands in his state. Per-
SONS OF high standing will be in
vulvcd.
1t seems that the attempt TO corrupt
Gore was accompanied by features most
distressing TO the blind statesman. Gore
has felt the sting of poverty in It's bit
tcrcst forms. Even now he has nothing
but his salary. The person who he says
offered him $25 900 to change his po-
sition on the Indian legislation was a
personal friend OF long standing. This
man knew that Gore had often suffered
from The pinch of want.
Senator Gore said it caused him great
personal distress t. think that an old
friend would put temptation i'll his way.
Gore said nothing about the attempted
bribery until he had exhausted every
possible means Of defeating the lcgisIa-
ton by the usual methods. When he
saw that congress was about to adopt a
provision which would render compare
lively easy the validating OF the Nc
Murray contracts he told the story OF
the proffcrcd bride.
If the Senate probers 60 into the
Gore charges with an intention OF reach
ing the bottom, they undoubtedly will
turn up highly interesting facts.

HOBO ARRESTED

Encouraged by several hundred OF
his most ardent disciples, James Eads
How, the hobo millionaire" of St.
Louis, attempted to hold an open-ar
meeting in Franklin square. Philadcl-

before he uttered word.
About S O'Clock How, who has been
conducting the congress Of the unem-

marched into the park, accompanied
by Mrs. George G. Ferguson, of Wash
ington, and Mrs. Chapman Pethcrick,
OF New York, who are associated with
him in movement to better the con-
dition of the "hoboes" and the mem
bers OF the congress.
AS the procession moved about the
square the gathering augmented
rapidly. Just as soon as How stopped
the crowd blocked the sidewalk. Po-
lceman Thomas Milan, Of the Fifth
and Race streets police station, re-
quested How to move, and as How
started to tell the policeman some
thing about free speech" Milan

: LATIN-AMERICAN Alliance.

That at least three and perhaps more
Of the Central and South American re-,
publics will make concerted protest oil
some kind nj the coming international
Conference Of American States al
Bucnos Ayrcs against the Contra
American policy of the United States i:
the possibility being discussed in diplo
matte circles in Washington.
Rumors to this effect have been per.
sistent of late in quarters usually vel
informed, and some responsible Latin.
American representatives admitted their
approximate truth, though none would
permit himself to be quoted. The
rumors have led to lively exchange Of
information among the Central and
South American diplomats in Washing
ton. Officials of the State Department
are known to be watching the situation
closely.
Some of the more radical Spanish
Americans are SAID to be in favor Of 4
Latin-American alliance against the
United States.
The most that can be regarded rs
probable is that the republics Interested
will give the United States to understand
automatically that the principles repre-
sented in the attitude Of this govern
mcnt on the east coast Of Nicaragua will
not be accepted willingly as n part Of
IL al In T,f b., 4
1t is hardly likely that this protest, if
made, will become part of the pro-
ceedings of the conference. 1t will
probably be left to the unofficial work
Of the assembly.
Notwithstanding a recent statement
by the Venezuelan government on the
subject, it is still reported in Washing
ton that the Venezuelan delegates will
be the leade,s IN protesting against the
attitude Of the United States ana that
at least two other governments will
share the responsibility Of the move
ment.
Doubt exists in Washington as to inst
what steps Of the American government
have been distasteiuI to the sister re-
publics. The only concrete point men
toned in this connection was first
phrased by NIadriz. president OF the
government at Managua, when he pro-
tested against the action of American
marines in preventing an attack by the
Madriz forces upon the city Of Blue
fields. This was done on the ground
that American interests are extensive
there and followed the precedent Of the
British government in prohibiting fight
ing in Greytown on similar grounds
Later the Venus was prohibited by the
American officials from firing on Blue
fields

TO TEACH NON-DRUG HEALING.

Recognizing the rapidly growing be-
lief that many diseases can be cured
without the aid Of drugs, Temple Uni
vcrsity, of Philadelphia, has completed
arrangements for the establishment Of
Il department. for teaching methods OF
healing without the employment Of
drugs. This is the first department Of
its kind to be established in Il medical
school.
DR.. ]. Madison Taylor one of the
leading physicians OF that city, has been
chosen to head this new department Of
the university's medical school.
The new department has been given
the name of "non-pharmaceut;c theta
pcutlcs, and DR.. Taylor will hold an adj
junct professorship to she chair of thera-
peutics, which office is held by Dr. C. E.
dc NJ Saious, a distinguished research
scholar, whose work on internal secre-
tons has formed basis for the exact
explanation of the action of all RENE
dies, drugs and animal extracts.
DR.. Taylor has for years been close
student OF aids to the restoration OF
health not only by drugs. but by mas
sage, exercise, suggestion, rest, diet,
baths, electricity and light.
DR.. Taylor will sail for Europe to-
morrow, where he will study the adj
vanccd methods Of dealing with this
branch Of therapeutics. His new de-
partment will teach also special cures
and Sanatorium methods, and the de-
partment is expected TO become one OF
the most valuable in the entire medical
course in the university.

DURING the fiscal year which ended
June 80 there was an unprecedented
boom in the n,oonshine whisky bust
ness. Prohibitory legislation in the
southern States, coupled with the ad-
vance in the price of legitimate corn
whisky to 80. so a gallon, created such Il
demand for this product that the moon
sinners extended their operations to a
startling extent and doubled and
trebled the work of the revenue service.
No official figures are given by Rev
enue Commissioner Cabell, but unotil-
cial estimates place ahe number of IL
licit stills raided and seized during the
wear at over 1000, while the figures
for the year ending June so, 1909.
were 1,743. As heretofore stated Com
missioner Cabell has ordered a detail
OF eight additional special agents to hunt
down moonshiners.

Vicious Rooster Attacks Child.

Pottsyille, Pa, July IA large
game cock attacked the three-year-old
child Of Oliver Hossler, OF Port Carbon,
and before it was driven off had intlict-
ed number of painful wounds in the
child's face and shoulders. The child
was playing around the house, when
the rooster came walking along the
street and without any warning, made
its attack. The child started to cry,
and neighbors ran to its assistance.
With the aid of a broom, the rooster
was driven off, but not before it had
attacked one of the women. knocking
her glasses from her face. The rooster
was attempting to pick at the child's
eyes when assistance arrived. Grown
people have been compelled to flee on
different occasions from the ROSTERS
attacks.

A DYNAMITE cartridge, with pcrcus-
sion cap. was found yesterday morning
dangling from tree over road near
the Hartman estate at Goshen, n. y,
and was in such position that pass
Ing automobile would probably have

been admitted that penalty is exacted
for greatness. In our day the ailluent
seem to be especial targets for the
vicious. Terrifying blackmail letters
are received by those who possess wealth

EARTHQUAKE.
severe Shocks Felt Last Night-Iceland
Relieved to Have Suffered.

Cleveland, Ohio, July Some part
of the earth S crust about 1,50O or
1000 miles from Cleveland was given
a severe shaking up during the night,
according to Father Odenbach's seis-
mograph, at St. Ignatius College here,
when todAy's record was taken. Father
Odenbach is inclined to think that Ice
land or the northern Atlantic bore the
brunt of the quake. The record shows
a more severe earthquake than has
been recorded i'll the last two years, the
vertical variation of the shock being
six millimetres. The quake began at
1O:55:1S Cleveland time, reached its
maximum at 1858 and was over at
l1:21. Father Odenbach says the rec
ord is very similar to the quake that
shook Iceland about year ago.
Washington, D. c., July THE
most severe earthquake recorded here
since the great shock in the West In
dies in 1907 was shown today on the
seismograph at Georgetown University
Father Torndorf estimated that the
quake was fifteen hundred miles away.
The quakes continued for about fifteen
minutes, the maximum shocks being
from 1901 to 1908 a. m. Father
Torndorf said that the quake nigh
possibly have centered at some point
in the Atlantic Ocean, but that it had
every evidence Of having been extraor-
dinarily severe.
Washington, D. c., July An
official bulletin issued by the Weather
Bureau here today states that an earth
quake OF greater intensity than usual
was recorded on the seismograph at the
Weather Bureau about midnight last
night. The location OF the disturbance
is placed at l 800 from Washington but
the direction was not distinctly recorded
by the instruments. The tremors lasted
in all about forty minutes.
