PNEUMONIA SERUM
FOUND BY SAvANI

CHICAGO, July 6.-The germ
of pneumonia is vanquished, ac-
cording to DR.. Preston Kyes of
the University of Chicago, who
has published the results of a
series of experiments in the Jour
nal OF the American Medical asso-
cation. Chickens were inoculat-
ed with germs from a human vic
tim OF pneumonia, and serum pre-
pared. The results obtained were
surprising. DR.. Kyes tabulated
his experiments, showing that
mice, POISONED with pneumonia
germs and then treated with the
serum, showed immediate i'm
provement, and in proportion as
the serum was injected with
greater frequency, recovered.

RESPONSIBLE for the recent slump in the

Fine Clothes for Fall

Hin OHO3HHSO HOE Oil
THE display OF new styles in
mems clothes which we'1e now
making is the kind of display you
want to see. 1t represents the high
est achievement in fine clothes
making.
Hart Schaffner- & Marx use none but all
wool fabrics; and the reason for that is that all
wool is best; it's best for the man who wears the
clothes. The tailoring is of the highest class;
costs more than cheap tailoring; just as all wool
costs more than part cotton Everything in these
clothes and everything done to them, is with the
idea of giving the man who wears them the best
possible value for his money.
That's the spirit in which
Hart Schaffner & Marx
make clothes; and the reas-
on we sell these goods, and
make so much talk about
them is that this store is
run on that basis.

CAPT. Miller A
HERO OF .THESEA
Eastern Newspaper Has Story
Of Honolulu Mans Ro-
mantle Career.

Something of The romance of tho
sea, quick fortunes made. Of ships lost
and mysteries msolycd, Is contained
In a recent article in the Brooklyn
Daily Eagle. The article is of parti-
cular interest inasmuch as one of its
central figures is Capt. Frederick &.
Miller. Of Honolulu. .
Capt. Miller is head of the Miller
Salvage Company. lie is known all
over tho world MS ono of the most
skillIul men In tho salvage business
and some Of his exploits in this line
still echo from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. In addition to this. he had
had wonderful career on the sea.
In the course of which he has figured
In revolutions or near revolutions.
Locally Miller Is well known from
some of the salvage work he has done,
practically without equipment. II is
evident from the article that his
greatest fents have been accomplish
ed elsewhere. incidentally, the arti-
clio shows the Sudden wealth to he
made through salvagc-if the salvage
Is successful
The story begins In the Brooklyn
paper with the tale of the Marie Co
lestc, the famous brig that was pick
cd up in mid-Atlantic with every sail
set, In perfect condition. and yet with
not Il soul on board. No clue to the
disappearance of the officers or crew
has ever been found.
Then there Is told the tragic tale Of
the Conscrya, vessel fitted out as =
gun-boat in South Brooklyn. The
story deals with the career of Hippo
lite, the man who started rcvolu-
tion against President Legitlmc Of
Hayd. With the assistance OF veal
thy ITayti and New York hackers. he
got hold Of an ancient British steam
ship. the Madrid and here is where
Miller's connection with the plot to
start n revolution in IIayti begins.
Captain Fred c. Miller, Brook
Ign man, was Il close friend of Hyppo-
lite and had helped the latter out in
many ways and he received the COM
mission to take command of the Con-
scrva. No better, or brighter nayi-
gator ever trod bridge than Miller,
and he Is now one of the most prom

life raft and metallic lifeboat bear
ing the name of Conserva. Wheu
picked up the bodies of three dead
Malays were found dashed to the raft
! and there the history of the mystery
! OF The Conserva's loss comes to an
abrupt conclusion.
Theories Regarding the conserva's
Loss.
What happened Is mere matter
Of theory and conjecture. One was
that someone In the pay of President
Icgitime placed an internal machine
on board that destroyed the vessel.
This was plausible enough The crews
were constantly changing and there
was no discipline kept on board. so
That such plan could have been
easily carried out. The more general
ly accepted theory of all who knew
about the COnserva's actual condition
when she went to sea for the last
time. Captain Miller always believed
this to have been the case. Later on
liyppolitc became President of Hayti
and he once told Captain Miller that
nc had very good mind TO have
him shot for his refusal to command
the Conserva: but his threat did not
scare Miller in the smallest degree.
All the same, the tragic loss of the
Conserva with all hands Is Just MS
much of a mystery today as is that
of the people of the Mary Celeste, ex-
cept that there were no apparent rca-
sons why the latter should have aban-
doned n perfectly safe ship for the
dubious resource of the afterboat.
Captain Miller Well Known In Brook.

Of pluck and energy his career has
been one of adventure not equally
experienced outside of fiction. It Is
about twenty years ago since the Bri-
fish steamship Dawn went ashore on
the Hostile reef in the Bahamas.
1t was her maiden voyage as a fruit
or, then something new in the Bri-
fish trade. Abandoned to the Bahia
ma wreckers, Miller heard about her.
Professional wTeckers had failed to
haul her off the reef and gave her up

another view of the situation, pur-
