Each assassin has been assigned

convinced that the wholesale as
sassinatiop has been planned as a

Marked Men Guarded.
A large body of special detect

the Koreans and the marked men
have been surrounded by guards.
They will be protected and go
about in public only under heavy

FERN HILL PEOPLE
DECLARE WAR

Continued From Pare One.)
mayfollow If this bunch of bounc-
ers interfere.
Peder Jensen, one of the Fern
Hill people, called on Mayor Linck
this morning. The mayor is not
taking any steps to push the five
cent fare proposition, however.
He says there is nothing he can
do. All that could be done he says
is to bring suit and this has been
done and the company has had it
transferred to federal court. where
1t rests.
The city came near having a
case of~its own against the COM
pany Saturday.
Counter Clerk William Orchan
sent Earl Hayes, a light inspector
for the city, to Fern Hill to in
spect the wiring of a house.
Crehan saw the possibility of
bringing the street car company to
time and ordered Hayes to give
the conductor but one ticket. I'm
der the agreement with the COM
pany II must carry city employees
on city business anywhere in the
city for one ticket.
Hayes, however, got cold feet
before he got through with the
job and gave up another ticket to
the conductor when he demanded
1t at Midway. The fact stands out
prominent. however, that the
street car company violated its
agreement with the city and re-
fused to carry a city employee to
his work.
The mayor says there is no au-
thority vested in him to operate
the cars through for five cent fare
and no ordinance he can enforce by
arresting Officials of the company
for not doing so.
He hesitates about seizing the
cars for fear Of the statute which
railways had passed which makes
1t a penal offense with a twenty
year sentence hanging over any
one who interferes with the
track, cars or operation of a
street railway line SO as to endan-
ger passengers.
The city attorneys say they aJe
powerless and have done all they
can at present in the court case.
They will have to wait the pleas
ure of Judge Hanford. They ex-
pect the damage suits in superior
court to be tried out long before
the case can be reached in federal
court.
With this situation the ern
Hill people have decided to take
things into their own hands. Just
what they are going to do they sa,
they do not know but they are
determined to have cars run
through and carry them to their
homes for five cents. 4

BERLIN, Jan. 17.-By the in
vention of DR.. Buhner, a German
scientist two people may some
day be able, when speaking on the
telephone, to see one another
just as clearly as though they
were in the same room.
1t is already possible to send
almost a fairly good Photographic
reproduction by telegraph. This
new discovery. "television," is in
reality only the telegraphing of a
photograph instantaneously in
stead of in 10 or IL minutes.
The secret of television rests In
the almost human powers of the
metal, selenium, to appreciate
light.
If you see a white and a black
object together, your eye trans
mits to the brain the knowledge
that one is bright, the other
dark.
The selenium cell used for tele-
vision is just like an eye, but ten
thousand cells would be used SO
that your mead and shoulders,
projected by a lens onto a screen
composed of these ten thousand
eyes, would give to each the i'm
preston of light and shade corren
spending to a different part Of
your figure.
The image of white collar
would perhaps fall on three or
four adjacent "cells," and they
would be brightly illuminated;,
the image of dark eyebrow
would fall on another, giving it
dark. e., less bright-illumina-
ton, and so on. .,r
Your image, in fact, would be
analysed into ten thousand tiny
component parts, and each selen-
ium eye, according to the bright

ing their opportunity to strike. The
fact that their own lives have been
forfeited in advance and that dan
ger of death is nothing to them,
adds intensity to the situation.
The campaign of assassination is
the outgrowth of the struggle of
Korea to free herself of Japanese
domination. The recent agitation
OF a plan of annexation for Korea
has aroused new bitterness. The
heavy blow dealt Japan in the
murder of Prince Ito has encour-
aged the Korean rebels, who are
exalted by the belief that they
are fighting the battle of patriot
ism and are laying down their
lives for the freedom of their
country.

THE WHITE PLAGUE


The war is on. Are you in the
flight?
The scientists tell us that fresh
air, pure food and rest are the
most essential factors in combat
ting this dread disease. There
can be no doubt but that the
scientists are right, but there is
something else that mustsbe taken
into consideration first. 1t is a
disease which affects ninety per
cent of the population of the
United States. Carries, or decay
of the teeth, is the disease referred
to.
The first step in digestion
takes place in the mouth, and un-
less your teeth are in good con-
ldition the food will not be masti-
Gated properly, and no matter
how pure 1t may be when 1t END
tiers the mouth it will soon be conf
Illuminated; therefore, in order to
get pure food into the stomach
you must have clean mouth.
Pure air! Would air be pure
after passing through a sewer?
Hardly. Look at your teeth.
Smell your own breath. Some
people would have to take air
through a tube If they expected
to get it into the lungs pure.
We must have rest. Did you
ever have an aching molar or an
abscessed bicuspid? Could you
rest?' Not very long at time. If
we are going to fight the white
plague successfully we must also
fight this most prevalent of dis
eases. decay of the teeth. Chit
dren should be taken to the dem
tist as soon as the first teeth be-
gin to erupt. 1t is criminal pegli-
gence on the part OF parents to
allow the baby teeth to decay. On
their proper care and attention
depends the future health and
happines of the child.
Yours for health and happiness.

rally from the lowest and with the close

The opening was at a decline of to

rallied to within to 6 points of last
