Bloodhounds a Myth

From the New fOrk Mall.
 A man at Wymore, Neb., keeps a ken mel of bloodhounds to trail bank robbers. Within fifty miles of Wymore is the ren- dezvous of a gang of bank and post office robbers that has terrorized Western Kansas and Nebraska for years. Every time there is robbery in that section the Wymore bloodhounds are put on the trail one does not call to mind an in- stance in which the dogs ever caught the robbers. A country editor recently remarked that "bloodhounds had never been known to catch anything since they chased Eliza. And she escaped on the ice'
 In Birmingham. Ala, a pack of so- called bloodhounds is kept to trail crimi- nals. Recently they were put on the trail of a fleeing negro murderer. whose tracks were partly visible to the eye; but the dogs sat on tine ground and bayed to the moon. A citizen said:
 Why, I used to raise foxhounds in Georgia. and during the final three months training I couldn't keep the pup pies from running a negro's trail to save my life without beating them. l often found pack of my young dogs barking furiously at the cabin of negro who worked on the place. It Is perfectly nat ural for a hound to run a negro. There is- one thing sure, they need some dogs in Birmingham-I mean real dogs"

EMPEROR WILLIAM
 OVERWORKS HIMSELF

Cassel. Hesse-Nassau, August 27.-- Emperor William, who spent some hours out of bed and working today, suffered a slight rise of temperature at bedtime. His majesty's physicians ascribed this change in his condition solely to overexertion and no other unfavorable consequences of his get ting up were observed The swellings of the neck and jaw muscles and glands are no worse tonight. The gen eral physical condition of the royal pa tient, however. is considerably dis turbed.
 While the Emperor's visit to Switz- erland to attend the army maneuvers has not yet definitely been cancelled, it is extremely unlikely that 1t will take place, and it is certain that his majesty will not make the trip if the weather continues unfayorable.
 The Emperor has expressed a wish to observe the final three days of the Kaiser maneuVersn in Saxony. which seems to indicate his fears that he will be unable to witness the preliminaries.
 Physicians are insisting that the Elm peror exercise the greatest care and take no risks, since the possibility of a return of the unfavorable symptoms is by no means yet excluded.

 Two amphitheatres at the sorbonne were wrecked by roting students re- gently.
 The trouble was provoked by the an- nouneement rrior to the oral examinations of the result of the written examinations for the bacoalaureat es lettres. Consider ing that the juries had been too severe the students began a noisy demonstration, which rapidly degenerated into riot when the attendants attempted to expel the ringeaders.
 All the windows of the Turgot amph- theatre. where the examinations was being held, were smashed. Chairs and tables were reduced to matchwood and the doors were wrenched from their hinges. The rioters then invaded the Descartes amphitheatre and continued their work of destruction.
 Things eventually grew so serious that the dean. NJ. Croiset called to tho police. After half an hours struggle m the cen tral hall and nthe courtyard tho rioters were expelled from the Sorbonne num- her of arrests were made, but at the re- quest of the dean they were not main tained.

FRENCH VIEW OF
 PANAMA CANAL BILL
Baron Strathcona Deprecates Public
 Discussion Pending Further k s.s Developments

Paris. August 27.-'rhe only effect Of President Taft's message In which he tttempts to justify the Panama canal ,nl is to prove that the bill is ques- honable one" is the verdict of the Temps today
 The newspaper continues that Great Britain in demanding arbitration at The Hague certainly will have the moral support of all the powers which .tand to gain by the treaty which she holds has been violated.
 The Temps hopes Americans will lake advantage of the door left open Tor reconsideration of the matter by eoneressman sims proposed bill re- pealing the provision of the Panama canal bill, providing for the freedom from tolls of American ships engaged in the coastwise trade
 St. bPetersburg. August 2S-Commenting Ieditoriaily on the Panama canal question ithe Novoe Vremya concludes it's article las follows
 Such is the value of word passed by the great American republic Russia IS not directly interested and 1t 6oes not lie with us to protest, but we have the right and regard IL as an opiiEatioi to point out how Americans deal with inter national treaties
 London, August 27-Baron Strathcona, high commissioner for Canada, in an in- terview today regarding the Panama canal bill controversy, said he deprecated pup lie discussion of the question pending further developments. He declared. how ever that if discriminating provisions in favor of American coastwise slipping came into operation it would seriously hamper the oversea trade of foreign na- tions.
 rWe regard it as absolutely wrong, Baron Strathcona said. that this In depreciation should have been put upon the treaty. Doubtless the foreign office will put the matter before the United States in it's proper light and we have the assurance that a very large body of American people are dissatisfied with the governments present position.
