Schoolrooms should be fumigated
after every outbreak of contagious
disease among the school children; IN
fact, it would be well to do so once
year simply for the purpose of pre-
vention. There will be required for
each fumigation ten ounces of forty
percent solution of formaldehyde and
eight ounces of potassium permanga-
nate for every one thousand cubic feet
of space to be fumigated. A tub, a
large pail, and some water will also
be required. Get the room ready by
making it as nearly air tight as pos
ible. All small cracks and openings
may be stuffed with cotton. Larger
openings may be closed by pasting
over them some heavy paper. The
drafts and hampers of the stove or
heating apparatus must be securely
closed. If books are to be fumigated
they should be placed on the desks
with the open edge down and the
leaves spread as much as possible in
order that the fumes of the gases may
find ready access.
When everything is ready, set the
pail in couple of inches of water in
the tub, place in the pail the potassium
permanganate, and then quickly pour
over this the formaldehyde. 1t will be
necessary to make hasty exist from
from the room, as the gas generates
rapidly and is very suifocating The
door is to be carefully closed, and at
least ten preferably twenty-four) hours
should be allowed for the gas to do its
work, The room will have to be aired
several hours before it is again fit for
use.

 Becker also was regretful he had not had his way and gone on the stand to tell his own story. He believed that was a tactical mistake of Attorney Mcintyre, and that he could have ex- plained the points that stood out against him and at the same time have protected himself from the assaults of the district attorney. But he accepted the belief that the verdict would not stand and was prepared to philosoph- ically wait the result of the action of the court of appeals.

MAY SPARE D|AZ'S LIFE
TWO OF HIS OFFICERS ARE SHOT
 BY FEDERAL TROOPS.
Nephew Is Likely to Get Death Penalty.

Vera Cruz, Mexico, Oct. 26.-Two of the captured officers Of the stan of Felix Diaz were shot by the fed. eral troops, after being sentenced tc death by summary court martial. The execution was carried out with abso- lute secrecy. Their names were Mai Zarate and Maj. Cuesta.
 A crowd had gathered about the Ayuntamiento, where the court-mar. tial is being held The information has gone abroad that the rebels are being tried one or two at a time, and a report of the end of each trial iG greeted with cheers. Police do not permit the demonstrations to become loud
 The executions are all to be in se cret, but the crowds wait for the pass, ing back and forth of officers and persons, much as the rabble Of Paris during the Reign of Terror waited for the passing of the tumbril and the fall of the knife in the guillotine.
 Diaz' Case Is Appealed.
 Awrit removing Felix Diaz from the Jurisdiction of the military court was granted by the federal judge of the First district court in Mexico City The action was taken on the plea O. Lieutenant-C Colonel Munoz, cousin of Felix Diaz. The full court will de eide whether Diaz is to be returned to the jurisdiction of the military court or tried before a civil tribunal
 Government officials insist Diaz is amenable to military Jurisdiction un der the constitutional provision relat ing to civilians who incite the army to revolt.
 Maj. Fernando Zarate and Maj. Ju Han Villas are pleading on behalf oi Diaz, who, according to military law is liable to Imprisonment for fror three to eight years.
 Public opinion against Diaz, how eS CT, is so strong that it is thought g sentence of death may be pronounced on him as well as on all the officer: and government officials who joined his cause and were captured. Tn, troopers, however, who rebelled vii in all likelihood not be punished.

 IN ROSENTHAL CASE.
REGAlNS HIS IRON NERVE
All of Twelve Jurors Agreed on Guilt From Start-Becker Regrets Not Testifyins-AWaits Ap-

New York, oct. 26.-In his cell in the Tombs. Police Liuetenant Charles $. Becker, now a convicted murderer awaiting the imposition of the death penalty, had recovered a somblance Of the iron nerve which sustained him during the long hard days of the trial. He was still hopeful.
 His lawyers had told him that the verdict, returned to Justice Golf eX- actly on the stroke of midnight, could not stand They had explained to him as the case progressed each point which they said meant reversible CT TOT as the result of the decisions of Justice Golf, and Chief Counsel Me Intyre, when Golf ended his charge to the jury had entered an exception to the whole of the address and had explained to Becker that no adverse decision could stand.
 So Becker, still hopeful, although realizing full we'll that there were many weary months ahead of him in the grim whitewashed death house in the southwestern corner of Sing Sing prison, seemed concerned mostly over the condition of his wife.
 Wife Twice Paints After Verdict.
 The fact that she had fallen into deathlike swoon when she first heard the verdict, and that after he had passed from her sight across the Bridge of Signs she hawd again col lapsed, had been kept from him. His memory of the brave little woman whose plaintive, appealing cry of My Charlie is as innocent as baby" still rung in the ears of those who had heard it when she realized that the verdict had gone against the man she loved was of blue-clad form stand ing below the Bridge of Signs blowing with both hands kisses of love and affection as, with guard on each side, he had gone back to the cell which he
