But the new senator didn't feel that way about it.

OBJECT TO DARK ROOMS
Moving Picture Shows in New York
Having Trouble.

New York, March 13.-Special in
yestigators and agents of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
dren, have Just completed survey
of all the moving picture show houses
and similar amusement places in New
York city. AS a result of their find
ings, the society will ask that the IL
censes of forty-five of these places be
Withdrawn and will recommend a
sweeping reconstruction of the city
ordinances governing all picture
shows. -A#s
According to- a preliminary state
ment published here today, the society
will ask that the present system OF
presenting moving pictures in dark
ened place be changed and glass
screen used in we'll lighted hall. Th1S
is a question for the board of alder
men to regulate and action by that
body is expected shortly.
1--WE do not question the claim that
the moving picture playhouse may be
an educational institution" says AL
bert H. Hoeckley, one of the society s
managers, but we are more interest
ed in the responsibility of the at
taches employed in certain of these
places, We have before us nearly a
hundred instances in which employees
of the play houses resorted to question
able methods in their treatment of
Young girls The continued use of the
darkened room to present the pictures
is Objectionable. It is found possible
to throw pictures on glass screens. in
well lighted halls, with better success
than in the dark rooms"

ROOSEVELT IS IMPATIENT
He Thinks Smithsonian Is Making
Slow Progress With Specimens.

Washington, March 13.-All possible
speed is being used by the Smithsonian
institution in preparing the specimens
obtained by the Roosevelt African ex-
petition. This is the reply made by
officials of the institution to the declar-
alton made several days ago by Colonel
Roosevelt that he wished congress
would appropriate sufficient money to
enable the institution to prepare the
collection for immediate exhibition
It may require two or three years to
complete the work it is said by the Of
ficials of the institution. They declare
it is being carried on more rapidly and
with better results than has ever been
the case with any collection approach

being left undone, it was stated, to
give the Roosevelt series of East
African mammals its proper place
among the treasures already in the ma
tional museum.
As an illustration Of the innumerable
details of the work which have made

New York. March 13.-Sing Dock, a
Chinese 1aundryman, who has been
wearing a silver plate in his skull to
cover a bullet wound received in a Chi
natown fight two years ago, will die
within the next "A hours, the doctors
say, as the result of a shot in the alb
domen fired late last night by zee
Toy, a doortender at the Hip Sing Joss
house in the bowery. This is the first
shooting affair in Chinatown since the
peace pact was signed by the rival
tongs some time ago.
Both Dock and Toy are members of
the same tong, but nevertheless have
been bitter personal enemies for years.
Toy came from Pittsburg two weeks
ago. He sent a note 10 Dock inviting
the latter over to the joss house for an
appointment on Sunday night When
Dock appeared to keep the engagement,
he was greeted with a bullet from a
AZ caliber revolver.
Toy fled after the shooting with the
revolver still in his hand, staying off
dozen spectators who tried to stop
him.

SCROFULA
HEREDITARY BLOOD POISON

Scrofu1a is a disease manifested
usually by a swelling and liberation
of the glands, especially about the
neck. It is almost entirely hereditary
in its origin, being the dregs or re-
mains of some specific blood poison.
Where the blood is greatly weakened
with the scrofulous poison, the disease
attacks other portions of the system
besides the glands, and then we see its
effects in weak eyes, poorly developed
bodies, running sores and ulcers, skin
diseases, especially on the scalp, ca
tarrha1 troubles, etc. Scrofula usually
makes its appearance in childhood,
though manhood or womanhood may
be reached before the poison pro-
crosses to the stage of outward mani
festation. S. S. S. is the one real cure
for Scrofula. It is a blood purifier
without an equal, and it cures this
destructive blood poison by removing
every trace of the infection from the
circulation. S. ST. S., in addition to

Rochester, N. Y, March 13.-Mor-
ris Melman. a New Yorker, is dying
and Miss Sophia LATER of this city is
in a hospital here seriously injured as
a result Of love tragedy enacted at
the young woman's home late last
night. Melman fred two shots at the
young woman's face and then two at
himself. The bullets which hit her
were detected by her high, thick
cheek bones and will probably not
prove fatal.
She will be disfgured for life, how
ever. The shots which Melman fired
at himself went into his head and are
lodged in the brain tissues.
Melman lived in this city until a
few months ago, and had been suit

marry him when he lived here and re-
fused him again last night.

procity will have been acted upon.
Other policies will have been subject

enunciation of new doctrines or con-

At any rate the two factions, regu-
lar and reactionary, Kansas Repubn-
cans hope the president will decide to
begin his campaign for reelection in
their state. They promise him warm
welcome whether. his mission turns
out to be political or merely neigh

that the former president, Mr.. Roose-
welt, chose Osawatomie in their state
as the place to deliver his famous new
national speech.
When Charles E. vreeland of Kan

Washington where he will go on duty
at the navy department as aid for in
spections, relieving Rear Admiral
Aaron Ward, who will be given a di-
vision command in the fleet. Capt.
Charles J. Badger, now in command
of the battleship Kansas, is scheduled
to become a real admiral upon the re-

A big promotion for Senator Curtis
is scheduled in the senate committee
on appropriations. During the past
congress he was the tail Republican

For a comparative short service in

member of three appropriations COM

years of his service in the upper
branch of congress. His long and
able service in the house made him
an available member for these quick
and important promotions.
