NATIVE HANKOW IS
RAPIDLY SWEPT by
FIRE AND CARNAGE
Infuriated Over Chinese Sue
ceSseS, ManChu Soldiers
Defy Officers, Burning Build
ing and Massacre Natives

PEKIN, Nov. 2.-The German legation
today received a wireless message. from
the vicinity of Hankow stating that the
imperial forces are now burning tlne
native city Of Hankow and confirming
yesterdays report that the imperial
troops massacred men. women and chill
dren during several days fighting.
1t is evident the Manchu soldiers are
infatuated over earlier Chinese successes
and that they have gotten out of hand
of their officers.
Letters from a correspondent at in
Yang-Chow. written some days ago de-
clared that General Yin Tchangs
troops were beyond control. having
looted the villages north of Hankow.
General Yin Tchang, who has been re-
moved from his command at Hankow
to become chief of the general staff, re-
turned to Pekin teday.
1t is believed that Yuan hi Kai ar
rived at the imperialist headquarters at
iaokan too late to stop the nassacres
which had already begun 1t is thought
the effect of the atrocies committed by
the government soldiers will have a
serious bearing on the situation. The
blood of the Chinese is UP, as is indica-
ted by their desperate defense of Han
kow.
NEGOTIATE FOR PEACE.
The governments plans for. bring
ing about peace moved forward
rapidly today with the throne

BOON TO MANKIND Invented
Actor, After Years of Experiment,
Finally Produces What He Terms
"Return Collar Button"

Buffalo, n. vaughan CHASER has
perfected an invention that is destin-
ed to make him so rich that Andrew
Carnegie will be a pauper in compari.
son, and one that is to make him for.
ever the benefactor of mankind.
Mr.. Chaser, after years OF study and
no end OF experiment, has succeeded
in producing what he terms the re.
turn collar button" Every man
knows how exasperating it is to have
his collar button slip out of his shirt
band and go cavorting under the bed
or to some other out-of-the-way and
hard-toget-at place. The collar button
that Mr. Chaser has just had patented
has all the weaknesses of ordinary col
lar buttons in that respect, but, I'M
like ordinary collar buttons, the ella
ser Returnable" does not stay out Of
reach.
With every CHASER collar button
there is sold a tiny magnet, so pow
erful that all one has to do is to un-
cover it and the collar button will fly
back TO it.
IL is understood that the Society
for the Prevention of Profanity looks
on Mr.. Glasers invention as valu-
able aid to its work.

FROM GOATS
Disease Has Been Known to Ex'

Belief Is General In Sections Where IL

Many Names.

Austin, Tex-Some weeks ago the
presence OF Malta fever In Texas was
announced by the Journal OF the Amer
lean Medical Association. Further in
vestigations by medical officers OF the
United States army show the presence
of this disease In a considerable sec
ton of Texas, in which goat raising
is an important industry An area
approximating 300 miles along the Rio
Grande and extending 80 miles 10 the
north, including the Nueces and lower
Pecos river countries was examined.
For the past 35 years the raising OF
goats has been the principal occupa-
ton of this section.
Careful inquiries through this Sec
ton show that for many years there
has existed, principally in the Nue.
ces and lower Pecos river countries.

the significant term of goat fever.
During the summer of 1894 about
% cases of fever occurred in the Nue.
ces river canyon, almost entirely in
families that had goat pens immedi-
ately surrounding the houses.
More recently a number of cases
have occurred near Barksdale each
year. Many people have believed that
the disease was in some manner con.
tracted from goats and occasionally
have applied to it the term goat
fever" 1t has also been called dust
fever" on the theory that ii came
from working in dusty goat pens
Since the disease is more prevalent
during the months of May. June and
July, when the prevailing wind is from
the south. some Of the goat herders
have located their goat pens on the
north side of their houses to avoid the
dust The Mexican goat herders have
long believed that slow fever was due
to drinking unboiled goats milk, and
for this reason. and also because it
improves the taste. practically all Mex
leans drink only milk which has been
boiled.
The disease appeared in the Pecos
river country about ten years ago, and
it has been known there as slow fe-
yer or Rio Grande fever Owing to
the fact that the country Is very
sparsely settled in that locality, the
disease has failed to attract much at
tention. but il is certain that a few
cases have occurred there each year
for several years past
In order to ascertain the source of
infection definitely a careful examina-
ton OF the goat herd at Langtry was
made. Twenty.three female goats were
examined. with the result that eight
out of % goats (34.7 per cent? were
found to be infected.
Malta fever is prevalent throughout
the older goatraising sections of
Texas, and probably large proper.

suffering from Malta fever.
All cases of Malta fever found have
occurred in the territory devoted to
goat raising and all patients either
have history of drinking unboiled
goats milk or were actively connected
with the goat raising industry.

FINALLY UNEARTH CLAY PIPE
Antiquarians Discover Many Interest
ing Indian Relics In Heart OF
New York City.

New York.-Many interesting In
dian relics and much historical mate
rial have been unearthed recently in
the borough of the Bronx by two con-
sulting engineers and antiquarians.
Reginald Pelham Bolton and w. l..
Calvert of this city.
Messrs. Bolton and Calvert have
made the excavations on Sundays in
the last year to satisfy their thirst
for antiquarian knowledge, and the
scene OF their operations has been
where Jonas s. Bronck, the first
white settler In the Bronx. had his
home. Very little has been known
about these places. from an anti
quarian standpoint. The Morris
manor house was occupied by Cow
erneur Morris and was the great
residence in that neighborhood. 1t
was built in the year l640 and is
now in ruins.
The two antiquarians found In
dian pits in one of which was dis
covered a portion of clay pipe.
which may have been used by Jonas
Bronck The antiquarians were ju-
bilant when they struck row OF
bake ovens which had been used
not only by the Indians but also by
the soldiers of the revolution. A
large number of bronze coins OF
George l.. George IL and George III.
were found. Some of these coins
were in splendid condition, and one
was almost bright They discovered
large quantity of cutlery, which
was used by Col. James De Lancey's
battalion of the Continental army.
The excavations at the Morris man
sion have not been completed and
much more material is believed TO be
awaiting their industry
The Morris manor house stood at
the end of Cypress avenue, near the
Willis avenue bridge. with Series
of vaults and wine cellars. 1t has
been said that there was sub.
terranean passage leading to the
Bronx Kills, but the excavators
were unable to find any trace of
such a passage. Near the Morris
manor house was the home OF Jonas
Bronx, who had a tiled roof An
old record says that Bronx used real
silver on his table, had a table
cloth and napkins, and pOssessedt~as
many as six linen shirts In this
house, which was like miniature
fort, the treaty with the Indian
sachems. Ranaqua and Tuckamuck,
was signed by the Dutch in 1912
Messrs Bolton and Culver made
excavations near the Willis avenue
bridge, and found a stone vault. in
which there was chinaware 1t was
probably the property Of Jonas
