WHISKEY IS WHAT
THE MONKEYS Want
Park Authorities Give Them
a Drink" to Keep Them
Warm These Days.

Monkey whiskey costs the city too
much. This was the decision of Su-
perintendenI Ed Hollarn who went to
the city building this morning acting
as efficiency engineer for the city.
"This time of year according to the
usual custom of the park attendants
the monkeys are given three fingers"
every cold day for the purpose of keep
ing them from freezing to death. Their
other feed is milk and dry bread. The
sum of thirty-five cents is spent daily
for meat for the maintenance of the
other animals besides the large
amount of vegetables consumed.
Hollarn believes that the whisky ta-
ken from persons arrested for public
intoxication should be given to the
park authorities for the monkeys. The
whisky fed them now is furnished by
the city, and this expense is unneces-
sary according to the park superin-
tendent as whisky is thrown away by
the ballon at the police headquarters
The monkeys are very fond of the bey-
erage and demand it by chattering for
it every cold day. Some rather unruly
animals believe that the weather is
cold every day according to the park
attendants VIII feed them

INTERMARRIAGE OF

Blease Says Johnson-Camer-

Pass Resolution.
tNational News Asscciation)

tNational News Association)
RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 6.-The govs
ernors of states gathered here for the
fifth annual governors conference to-
day individually and collectively
showed their disapproval of the John
son-Cameron wedding in Chicago by
openly advocating stringent laws for
their several states. or by upholding
the law if it was already on the stat
ute books to prevent the intermarriage
OF blacks and whites. Among the gub-
ernatorial opinions relative to the mar
riage of blacks and whites and the
need of laws preventing such ALLAN
ces was the following expression from
Governor Blease of South Carolina:
THE marriage of Jack Johnson and
Miss Cameron was a disgrace, a de-
basement of the sacred rite. In my
state the negro would have been sum-
marily dealt with
Later in the day. by vote of IA to

resolution of censure of Governor
Blease of South Carolina for his sen-
timents relative to lynch law

Plea For Rural Credit.
Blaming the great financial interests
OF the country for lack of proper ru-
raj credit for American farmers and
declaring that the United States and
Great Britain are lamentably behind
the other great world powers In TAX
ing care oftheir agriculturalists Cover
nor O'Neil of Alabama today told the
governors conference the inner his
tory of the rural credit movements.
and added strong plea for its more
general adoption in this country.
1T has long been recognized" said
Gov. O'Neill, that the failure of our
financial system to provide
methods by which our farmers could
procure money at reasonable interest
for their legitimate requirements con-
stituted one of it's most serious de-
fects. Owing to the absence of proper
banking facilities for agriculture needs
the farmer has been compelled to ap-
ply to the loan and brokers. merchants
and private individuals for that cap
ital which the legitimate conduct of
his business required, and to pay not
only heavy commissions, but generally
exhorbitant interest for the aid he
thus received"
The Alabama governor then review
ed the various system by which the
European farmer is enabled In aeouire
the money he needs.

PROF. SACKETT At
EARLHAM COLLEGE
Delivered an Interesting Ad-
dress on Sanitary Engi-
neering to Students.

The rain last night did not prevent
a large number of pepole from. haarips
Prof. Robert L. Sackett, of Purdue
university, former head of the mathe-
matics department of Earlham college,
speak on Sanitary Engineering" at
Earlham. Aside from the members of
the Science club and other students
interested in the subject, a number of
Prof. Sackett's Richmond friends were
present.
He talked of the disposition of sew
age and the publication of drinking
water on which topics he is an au-
thority, and placed especial emphasis
on the fact that the theoretical and
laboratory science of yesterday has
become the practical and useful sci
ence of today. What was a simple
plaything of scientists ten years ago
is saving lives by the hundreds today.
Among other things, Prof. Sackett
said: "The publication of water by
scientific methods is not an expert
ment any longer. 1t is being done in
many cities in this country and by a
far greater number in the cities of
Germany, France and England. Some
of the methods are very simple. The
water is first run into large concrete
tanks and the sediment allowed to
settle for a day. In many plants the
water is then sprayed into the air and
the oxygen of the air combined with
much of the organic matter in the wa
ter, making it harmless.
I'm some cases the water is first
filtered and then purified. Sometimes
the water is purified by exposure to
ultra violt light from quarter Cooper
Hewitt lamp. The unseen ray is fatal
to all germs within easy reach. This
latter method is perhaps the best, but
it is also the most expensive and little
used in this country"
Prof. Sackett also said that the dam
fer of infection from water is far great
er in a small town than in a large
city, since city usually employs an
officer to look after it's water supply
while village cannot afford this.

NEAR BREAKING POINT.

BERLIN, Dec. German diplo
mats today admitted for the first time
that the line of demarcation between
the triple alliance Germany, Austria
and Italy, and the triple entente eng
land, France and Russia) has been
drawn to the breaking point and that
any sudden pressure either way might
precipitate the most bloody warfare in
the worlds history
One leading diplomat described the
situation thus:
We hope, e,=.bHt- there. .is more prepa-
ration than hope.s No one can tell what
the next "a hours will bring forth
He went on to explain that the
speech of foreign minister Poincaire
before the French chamber of deputies
yesterday had caused no ripple on the
surface, it having been expected that
France would set forth her views fol.
lowing Germany's exposition in the
speech of Chancellor Won Bethmann,
Hollweg.
Italy must be soothed now as a re-
suit of the Greek bombardment of Av-
Iona, strategic point as regards the
safety of the Italian coast on the Adri-
attic sea.
1t is understood that Italy and Aus
tria are preparing a joint protest to
the Greek. government with a demand
for an explanation.
