LATIN-AMERICAN ALLIANCE,

That at least three and perhaps more
of the Central and South American re.
publics will make a concerted protest OF
some kind at the coming international
Conference Of American States al
Buenos Ayres against the Central
American policy Of the United States is
the possibility being discussed in diplo-
matte circles in Washington.
Rumors to this effect have been per-
sistent of late in quarters usually well
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 a
Latin-American alliance against the
United States.
The most that can be regarded as
probable is that the republics Interested
will give the United States 10 understand
automatically that the principles repre-
sented in the altitude of this govern
ment on the east coast Of Nicaragua will
not be accepted willingly as a part Of
the international law Of the Americans.
1t is hardly likely that this protest, if
made, will become a 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 leaders 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 oI Tue American government
have been distasteful to the sister re-
publics. The only concrete point men
in this connection was first
phrased by Madriz, president of the
government at Managua, when he pro-
against the action Of American
marines in preventing an attack by the
forces upon the city Of Blue
fields. This was done on the ground
hat American interests are extensive
here and followed the precedent of the
government prohibiting fight
ng in Greytown on similar grounds.
the Venus was prohibited by the
American officials from firing on Blue
ields. \

WILL RESORT TO COURTS.

That the moving picture syndicate
owning the Johnson-Jeffrie fight films
will resort to the courts Of the several
states to determine their right to pro-
duce the pictures, was indicated in
Philadelphia yesterday, when one OF
the best-known moving picture men in
the country, who has a big interest in
the syndicate, said that the agitation
against the displaying Of the pictures
would be fought. He said that too
much money had been invested by the
syndicate which represents II different
interests to stand by and see the fight
pictures prohibited without making a
contest to determine the right Of city
authorities to stop the display. The
pictures, it was further announced,
be placed on public view in New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago
and several other cities on July 49,

DURING the fiscal year which ended
June 80 there was an unprecedented
boom in the n%loonshine whisky bust
ness. Prohibitory legislation in the
southern States, coupled with the adj
vance in the price of legitimate corn
whisky to 81. 80 a gallon, created such A
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 unOtli-
cial estimates place the number Of il
iicit stills raided and seized during the
year at over 1000, while the figures
for the year ending June 80, 1909,
were 1,743. As heretofore stated Com
missioner Cabell has ordered a detail
OF eight additional special agents to hunt
down moonshiners.

TO TEACH NON-DRUG HEALING

Recognizing the rapidly growing be-
lief that many diseases can be cured
without the aid Of drugs, Temple Uni
versity, Of Philadelphia, has completed
arrangements for the establishment OF
a department for teaching methods OF
healing without the employment of
drugs. This is the first department OF
its kind to be established in a medical
school.
DIR. J.. Madison Taylor one Of the
leading physicians of that city, has been
chosen to head this new department Of
the uniyersity's medical school.
The new department has been given
the name of "non-pharmaceut'c thela-
peutlcs, and DR.. Taylor will hold an adj
junct professorsbip to the chair of thera-
p%eutics, which Office is held by DR.. C. E.
de NJ. Sajous, a distinguished research
scholar, whose work on internal secre-
tons has formed a basis for the exact
explanation Of the action Of all rene
dies, drugs and animal extracts.
DIR. Taylor has for years been a 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
vanced 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
curse in the university.

son-Says He Will Follow Champion
all Over the World Until He Agrees to
Fight.
New York, July Sam Langford,
who grins when hit with the sharp edge
of an axe, will not let John Arthur
Johnson rest. Joe Woodman, man
ager OF the big negro, has wired to
friends in this city that on behalf Of
Langford he will accept JohnsOn's
offer to fight for q side bet Of 10000.
In Kearney, Neb., Johnson declared
he would meet Langford il the latter
could post a 800, 900 side bet. Wood
mar wired that he wouldpost the $780,
900 as c as Johnson arrived in New
York and posted his money.
The feeling between the two negroes
is bitter. Langford positively refuses to
take Johnson seriously. Before the
Jeffries -Johnson fight Langford be-
moaned the fact that "Jeffries was 60
ing to Kill that niger Johnsing" before
he got a chance to do the job.
Ta-0ford could give Johnson a run
his money. In Boston five years
ago Langford gave JOHN 'ol. ~
argument. Johnson beat him up
the first five rounds and then Langford
tore in. For the remaining ten rounds
Iangford had johnson Sailing and
hanging on for dear life, though John
son outweighed him fifty pounds.
Since that time Langford has in
creased his weight to $50 pounds. He
declares he will follow Johnson all over
he world, if necessary, to make him
light. Only a few months ago, in
Baltimore, when the negroes met in a
negro club, Langford took off his coat
md offered to whip Johnson on the spot.

IDAHO'S FINANCIAL CONDITION

The financial condition OF the

condition, due to the careful ad-

party in the Gem state. There is
not single interest bearing war
rant against the state of Idaho.
Bonds which will be due in the
ear 1911 amounting to $4,000,
and those falling due in 1918
amounting to 100000, after which
there will not be a bond falling
due until two years later. or in
1915. In addition to this the state
administration has paid out during
the present term 100000 in re.
demption of bonds. After Febru-
airy 1, when the taxes for the state
come in, the state can pay all oil
the $4,000 in outstanding bonds
which will mature in 1911 and191s
besides having cash enough left
with which to pay one years in.

standing bonds.
