Ventilation an Art In Chicago.

The fine art Of ventilation in Chica,
go is still making long strides.
Several large firms which occupy
whole floors now have the big windows
swing from left to right on the prin.
ciple of passenger car ventilators. The
position Of the windows can thus be
regulated according to the passage of
the wind. and cleaning the panes is
made easy. But the ordinary window
washer can still do arctic wonders

BALLOONISTS TALK
 OF THEIR TRIP

New Orleans, January 12-J. Cowan Hubert and Paul J. Mccullough, the aeronauts of St. Louis whose flight from that city last Sunday terminated when the balloon landed near Scooba, Miss, last Monday, after being fired at twice, arrived in this city this morning. They will take ship from here to New York.
 High winds drifted us southward," said MT. Hubert, ''and instead of landing in New York we had to come down In Mis- missippi to avoid being blown out over the gulf.
 After leaving St. Louis a strong wind got us, and we were blown across Hi nois. Near Mt. Vernon, when less than 800 feet high, we heard a shot and bull jet whistied through the basket, barely missing us. In Kentucky another farmer fired at us, but we were out of range.
 fWe passed over the Wabash river into Indiana, and were blown to the southeast across Kentucky and Tennessee into Ala bama, passing near Birmingham"

TORPEDO BOAT ROE
 HAS AN ACCIDENT

New Orleans, January 12.-A flare back" from the boiler of the United States torpedo boat destroyer Roe. an- chored at this port, yesterday afternoon shook up the craft and only the fact that the force of the explosion was spent in the stacks prevented serious acci- dent
 This is the first accident of the sort since the one on board the battleship North Dakota some months ago, 1t is said. Two water tenders, who were on duty in the boiler rooms of the Roe at the time of the explosion, narrowly escaped being burned.
 That no injury to these men resulted from the accident is regarded by the of- ficers and crew of the Roe as very re- markable. It is believed that oil was fed into the boiler by mistake, creating suf- ficient gas to cause the explosion.

CRITICISM OF
 HIGH FINANCE

Chicago, January F. = Financial metho of the late Edward H. liar riman, George Gould, Jacob H. Schiff and James Stillman were criticised to- day in the United States circuit court of appeals by Attorney Charles s. Holt, who appeared for minority stockholders of the Chicago Terminal Transportat ton company in their charges that such alleged high finance" caused the in- solvency of the company.
 Admission of testimony purporting to substantiate this charge had been denied by Judge c. c. Kohlsaat in the federal circuit court and the matter was carried up to the appellate court for review.
 The pivotal point of the assertion of the stockholders touches a lease of part of the old terminal company fla cilities in Chicago to the Baltimore and Ohio Railway company which about a year ago bought the terminal prop erty for s16, 1000, 900 at a federal master in chancery sale. The sale was on fore closure of this lease. Attorney Holt was arguing for admission of testi- mony calculated to show irregularities in financial methods.

 The bill was amended in committee so as to provide that the reapportionment should be made by the legislature of the states. a provision usually made in the reapportionment bills, but omitted from this one because of conflicting legislation in several states covering the matter Representative Wilson of Pennsylvania referred to the necessity of a referendum regardless of any requirement imposed upon the legislature. The committees ac- ton was unanimous.

OFFICIAL PROTEST
 IS MADE BY JAPAN
California's Exclusion Views
 Not at All Liked
NATIONAL PRIDE IS HURT
Consul General at San Francisco Voices the Feelings of His People In a Letter to State
 Senator

Sacramento, Cal, January 12-Japan s first official protest against proposed anti Japanese legislation in this state comes in the form of letter from Consul Gen eral Matsuzo Nagal, at San Francisco. to State Senator Leroy Wright. chairman of | the senate committee on federal rela- tions.
 T think the people of this state hardly realize the deep concern felt in Japan on this subject" says the consul gen. eral. Discrimination at this time would be particularly surprising to the Japanese people in view of the efforts which have been made during the past two years to cultivate the good will of the American people and to prove to them the sincerity of the Japanese good will"
 The letter contains figures supporting the consuls contention that the Japanese population of the Pacific coast Is steadily decreasing. According to these statistics the number leaving Japan for America has diminished each year and the num- Der arriving in Japan has increased each year since 1908.
 "The tendency of the laboring classes
 
 says Consul Nagai 'we are not looking for extended proprietorships in lands. in this state and if such possession were our only aim it might be abandoned with good grace and little feeling. Our objec- tions to the bills introduced are based on their discrimination. They could not be explained to the Japanese people as being otherwise than offensive to national pride"
 The writer gives reminder that Ja-' pan has voluntarily enforced regulations which practically amount to an exclu- sion act applied to the Japanese laborers, and shown her friendliness by sending warships to participate in California fes- tivals and by other courtesies.'
 The letter concludes with a reference to pending negotiations for the revision of treaties between the United States and Japan.
 q feel constrained" says the consul, "'to express the fear that such negotia- tions may be unfavorably affected by the passage of measures by the Califor- mia legislature which are of a dscrim- hating character"
 The Japan issue is believed to have been responsible for a. change made yes- terday in the personnel of the senate committee on federal relations, Senator D. J. Beban of San Francisco was re- moved from the committee by Lieutenant Governor Wallace and was replaced by Senator C. w. Bell of Pasadena. Senator Beban is the successor of Mark Anthony, who introduced the anti-Japanese meas- ures in the senate two years ago.
 Among the anti-Japanese bills now be- fore the legislature is one providing against the holding of lands in California ''by aliens not eligible to be citizens of the United States.'
 It Is learned also that a bill for the segregation of Japanese school pupils is to be introduced. It was a measure of this character that occasioned an inter national controversy in 1909. Upon the earnest solicitation of President Roose- welt the state legislature at that time dropped the proposals.

Strength Comes
Not From What You Eat, But
 From What You Digest
Tablet Digests a Meal-Trial Pack
 age Free

Most people eat most foods without discrimination-it matters little what. Few stop to think what that food does for them. This is the first turn on the road to dyspepsia. Reckless disregard of the proper choice of foods, rapid the unquestioned causes of all stomach disorders from the slight ache to the malignant cancer.
 There is nothing more revolting than dyspeptic stomach-a very vat for putrifaction, sending forth it's poison throughout the entire system, depressing the brain, befouling the breath, souring the taste, deadenng the muscles, incapacitating the liver and kidneys for their work, debilita- ting the heart, choking the lungs and clogging the bowels.
 All of these dsagreeable and dan gerous conditions are due to the inn proper digestion of food and the con sequent assimilation of poison. What else can be expected? If the food lies in the stomach, if the system is con- stipated, fermentation is the natural outcome. It shows itself in sour watery risings, belchings, heartburn and pain full breathing.
 There is only one way to relieve this condition. If the stomach refuses to digest your food put something Into 1t that Will. StuartS dyspepsia IaDletS are nothing but digestives They are not a medicine They work when the stomach will not. Each tablet contains enough pepsin, diastase, golden seal and other diges- tive elements to reduce 5000 grains of ordinary food to the proper con sistency for assimilation into the blood Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are abso- lutely pure. There is nothing harmful in them as shown in their indorsement by 10000 physicians in the United States and Canada.
 Ask your family physician his opin- ion of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and if he is honest toward you he will state positively that they will cure your stomach trouble whatever it may be unless you have waited too long and have allowed your disorder to develop into cancer

PRACTICAL JOKER
 TELLS BIG TALES

New Orleans, January, 12.-A ship less crew of 70 men, who, for two days, have patiently watched for the arrival in this port of the yacht Aztec, told the police a story today which leads them to the belief that the champion practical joker of the world has just departed from New Orleans.
 Captain" Davidson, who neglected to say where he was from, struck the city Monday. His immaculate pleas ure yacht Aztec would arrive in port the following day. He wanted crew for six months cruise, and offered fancy salaries and alluring bonuses. A shipping firm soon had his crew of 70 signed up. Orders for provisions were placed and arrangements made for coaling the vessel
 Davidson then called on a Canal street merchant and surprised him with an order for 75 uniforms for the yachts crew The men would be in to have their measures taken on the following day. Here, as at the other places visited, he spoke of a check for $15,000. Monday was a legal holiday and he remarked that he would cash the check Tuesday and settle for his purchases.
 But, to cap the climax, Davidson went to a local detective agency and engaged four men to guard the Aztec while she was in port. She's got ESQ., 900 worth of cut glass and silverware aboard" he said, and I want four good men to keep watch on her." When asked to make a deposit he told of the $15,oO0 check and promised to be around the following day.
 Captain Davidson disappeared Mon day evening. The $15,000 check has not turned up at any bank and as for the good ship Aztec she and her costly furnishings have not put in an ap- pearance.
