Berlin. Aug. l2--The Austrian and Ger
man health administrations are taking
common measures against an invasion of
Russian cholera. Medical agents from both
the Austrian and German governments
stationed in Russia report a scarcity of
physicians.

deaths is larger than is indicated in the
official report received here, which gave
the deaths on July 81 as % 5,554 Some place
the number al 10000
A feeling Of depression is reported among
the inhabitants OF Southern Russia, owing
TO spread of the cholera and the failure of
the crops.

DRAMA
LOSING FAVOR.
ENGLISH PLAYWRIGHT FINDS
MUCH TO DEPLORE
PUBLIC RUNS TO LEGS AND TOM
FOoLERY'
Declares Shakespearean Shows Are
Becoming Almost Unknown
Throughout England
and Wales

LONDON, March 11.--Henry Arthur
Jones, the playwright, has delivered
lecture on the distinction between the
serious drama and legs and tomfool-
ery."' His lecture was in the main a
plea for the establishment of a body
of playgoers pledged to support the
drama as a serious and fine art
When it was considered, he said,
that not a single actor, author or man
ager could touch sixpenCe; that not a
crust of bread or pint of beer could be
earned for a stage carpenter until at
least $4,000 a week had been taken for
necessary expenses, was it any wonder
that the general level Of serious plays
was so low and that legs and TOM
foolery," because of their universal ap-
peal, were triumphant?
Legs and tomfoolery, Mr.. Jones ad-
mitted, were excellent things, "espe-
cially when the dancing was that of
Maud Allan or Genee, and when the
tomfoolery was the wise, grateful, re-
freshing and llfe-giving tomfoolery of
Rabelais," but it was desirable that
there should be some discrimination
between these things and the serious
drama. The theater was generally re-
garded by playgoers as "a funny place,
where funny people do funny things"
IN the provinces the drama might be
said to be extinct, except for the rare
visits of a London manager Mr.. Jones
said he had carefully studied the pro-
ductions announced for that week and
found that there was not single play
of Shakespeare "billed' in London.
Taking the whole of England and
Wales, Shakespeare was to be played
at only two places-Dewsbury and
Llanelly. Legs and tomfoolery" re-
Igr-
atrical art in which England was at
the present moment supreme and which
arose spontaneously in response to the
popular demand.

SMUGGLERS HIDE BOOTY IN
IMITATION WATER PIPES
Clever Group Duplicates Fixtures Of
Car in Papier Maehe, but
Detection Follows

GENEVA, March 11.-Just before the
arrival of the Geneva Munich express
train at Bregnerz. on the Austrian
frontier. the other day the station
master received a telegram from Zu-
rich stating that seven Swiss snug
glers were making an attempt to take
a large quantity of saccharine across
the Austrian frontier.
The station master detached the
first and second class coach containing
the seven smugglers and made care
full examination without finding any
contraband goods. The officials were
about TO leve the coach when one of
them found that all the hot water
pipes were in duplicate and that one
set consisted of papier mache tubes
filled with saccharine, resembling in
every detail the ordinary hot water
pipes. The seven clever smugglers
were arrested.

EXORBITANT TARIFF ON
SUEZ CANAL PROTESTED
German Newspaper Declares United
States Would Object Because
of Panama Interests

BERLIN, March 1.-THE prolonga-
tion of the Suez canal concession IS
being discussed here, and it is pointed
out that even in British shipping cir
cles complaints are loud at the eXor-
bitant tariff exacted by the company
A reduction of tariffs is urgently de-
sired, but considering that the Canal
company is international. the only
means of procuring a reduction is for
foreign countries to oppose the new
concession until the desired reform is
obtained.
The Kreuz Zeitung points out, how
ever, that America would not desire
any tariff reduction, as this might
oblige her to settle a low tariff for the
Panama canal as soon as it is opened.

SAN PEDRO ENDORSES
HARBOR BOUNDARIES
Improvement Association FaVors the
Action Taken by Los Angeles
City Attorney and
Council
Especial to The Herald

SAN PEDRO, March 1.-THE action
of the city attorney and the city coun-
Gil in designating the boundaries of
the outer harbor to include the inner
channel from Deadmans island to the
turning basin was indorsed tonight at
a well attended public meeting called
to organize the North End Improve
ment association, which is to include
the city south of Eighth street. The
entire business district is included In
this section.
The meeting organized with the cleo
ton of John A. Anderson chairman
and George w. Thomas secretary.
The following committee on bylaws
and organization was appointed: f..
M. Cannon, Minor p. Goodrich, V. O..
Allen, p. w. Anderson and +. H.
Brickey 1t was a representative gath
ering, including property owners from
business, professional and laboring
ranks.
One of the objects OF the organiza-
tion is to secure street improvement
within the district and open all east
and west streets to the inner harbor
and north and south streets to the
west basin. The resolution. which was
adopted without a dissenting vote,
follows:
Resolution Adopted
Whereas, The city of Los Angeles
has now called the promised elec-
ton for the purpose of voting
bonds to the amount of $3000,000
for the purpose of improving the
harbor; and
Whereas, 1t was a most wise
thing to do to postpone the election
until all of the various consolidation
elections had been held; and
Whereas, If such election had not
been postponed legal complications
would likely have arisen that would
have injured the sale of such
bonds; and
Whereas, The division of the out
er harbor and the inner harbor at
Smiths island was most wise in
view of the possibility, if not prob
ability of certain portions of the
water front between that point and
Deadman's island reverting to the
city as a result OF suits in court
which are now pending; and
Whereas. The establishment of
the municipal ferry to Terminal,
Wilmington and East San Pedro,
as we'll as other promised improve
ments, have been contingent upon
the voting of the bonds; therefore,
be IL
Resolved, That we indorse the
city government of the city of Los
Angeles as to it's division of the
inner and outer harbors. and par
ticularly the administration Of city
Attorney Leslie r. Hewitt for the
painstaking care which he is at all
times exercising to protect the
rights of the people and particu-
larly the interests of the people of
that portion OF the city formerly
known as San Pedro.

AMERICAS CHIEF FORESTER.
Training In Forestry Of Henry 8
Graves, Pinchot's Successor.


Graves, Pinchot's Successor.
Henry s. Graves, who has been se-
lected by President Taft and Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Wilson to succeed
Clifford Pinchot as chief of the forest
service OF the United States. was for
two years assistant chief OF the old
division Of forestry under Mr. Pinchot.
and he has been director of the Yale
forestry school since 1900. He was
graduated from that university in 1892
and was trained in forestry in the
United States and by European study.
He was connected with the, reconnois-
sance forest survey Of the Elack Hills
in 1897.
The new forester was born in Mari
eta, O., and brought up in Andover,
Mass, where his father was for many
years member of the faculty Of Phil
lips academy. He prepared for college
at this academy and entered Yale with
the class of '92. In college he played
quarterback with the varsity football
team and gained high rank In scholar
ship. He was led to take up the study
of forestry by Mr.. Pinchot. After a
course of graduate study at Har-
ward he Joined Mr.. Pinchot at Bit
more, N. c.. where on the estate OF
George w. Vanderbilt the first applica-
ton Of scientific forestry to American
conditions was being made. After his
work at Biltmore Mr.. Graves went
abroad for technical training in Euro
pean professional schools of forestry.
since no technical instruction in fores-
try was then obtainable in the United
States. No other American except Mr..
Pinchot had anticipated him in this
step. Indeed, he was the second
American to enter the profession.
Mr.. Graves foreign studies were car
ried on under the most eminent of the
old world foresters, Sir DIETRICH Bran
dis, principally at Munich. On his re-
turn to the United States he was asso-
ciated with Mr.. Pinchot in his office as
consulting forester in New York city.
When Mr.. Pinchot became forester of
the department of agriculture in July,
1893, Mr.. Graves became his first as
sistant. He carried on forest explora-
lions and investigations in the west.
He left the forest service in 1900 to
become the head of the Yale forestry
school. In the intervals of his work
at Yale he made. a number of trips in
the national forests of the west, some
times as adviser of the government
and sometimes for private study Of
forestry problems.

NO TRUCKING.
Mr.. Osborn's Sound Views Are Plainly
Expressed.

Perry F. Powers, of Cadillac, Is one
of the most ardent and persistent
Osborn men in Michigan Powers is
widely known all over Michigan, and
has for years made an intelligent
study of state affairs. He believes
Mr. Osborn will be the next governor
of Michigan, and will give the state
an administration of which every
citizen will be proud.
Commenting upon Mr.. Osborn's
fearless, Independent and clearly ex-
pressed views upon the subject of
taxation, recently, Mr.. Powers says:
There may be differences of opin-
Ion touching questions Of state taxa
ton and as to just what procedure In
that direction will produce fairest and
most satisfactory results. But there
is not voter in the state who does
not admire frankness and sincerity
on the part of men who are seeking
positions of responsibility and power
In his reply to the questions sug-
gested to him by the Michigan State
Grange, Chase Osborn said: II am
in favor of iron and copper mines pay
ing their just share of taxation, and
I agree with even the most insistent
on that subject that 1t is absolutely
important and desirable that they
should do So" In a further refer
ence to the Grange questions Mr.. Os-
born said he did not believe 1t would
be wise or best to abandon the adj
valorem tax system at this time. This
system had been adopted in Michigan
after several years of legislative con-
tention and statewide effort and its
results were quite satisfactory. What
ever was necessary to be done In or
der to require the iron and copper
mines to pay their just share of tax
alton could be accomplished. Mr.. Os-
born believes and says without de-
parting from Michigan's present pol
icy of state taxation. There was not
a word or line in Mr.. Osborn's reply
which sought to evade or TO conceal
or to deceive. He frankly tells the
voters of the state through his letter
to the State Grange just what he will
desire to do in the way of insisting
upon equal taxation, and the people
of Michigan know that he will full
fill every promise he makes. There
IS more value in such a degree of con-
fidence than in any possible state of
mind produced by whole hours OF
pleasing oratory or many columns of
suitable and complicated statements
intended to meet all sorts of conflict
ing requirements and to suggest all
things to all men no matter how far
apart their sympathies and desires
may be.
