TECHNICALLY FIGHT.
Attorneys in Jack johnson Case Argue
immortality Jurisdiction.

Chicago, May 9.-Benjamin c. Bach
rach, attorney for Jack Johnson, the
negro prize fighter, halted the hearing
of testimony in the white slave case
today by a technical objection and the
jury was excused till afternoon while
Federal Judge Carpenter listened to ar
guments in objections.
Belle Schneider has resumed the stand
and brought her testimony up to Oc-
tober Is, 1910, the date named in the
indictment against Johnson. At this
point in the testimony Bachrach OBJ
jected to the Introduction of any evil
dence bearing on the counts in the
indictment.
Johnson is charged with bringing the
Schneider woman from Pittsburg to
Chicago for Immoral purposes Bach
rach contended that the white slave
law is directed against the transpor-
tation of women from one state to an
other for commerce in the immortality,
not against immortality itself. He con-
tended that the phase of the law COW
ering immortality is unconstitutional
and alleged the indictment is faulty in
failing to show that the acts complain
ed of were committed within the jur-
isdiction of the court.

FLYER HITS TREE.
Fifteen-FOOt Fall Fatal to an
Army Aviator.
Lieut.. Park on Trial Trip in
California.

Los Angeles. May 9.-Lieutenant
Park, military aviator, who started
from San Diego this morning on a
flight TO Los Angeles, was killed at
Olive, nine miles north of Santa Ana,
about o'clock this morning.
Lieutenant ]. D. Park met his
death in fall of less than Is feet. He
had alighted quarter of mile froIn
the Olive school house on account u a
heavy mist that confused him as TO
his bearings. After giving message
to little girl to telephone &c Glenn
Martin N Los Angeles. Lie ltenaht
Park rose again. The machine swooped
over a low hill and crashed into a tree.
Park was dead when the little girl
and her father reached the wreck
Lieutenant Park was attached to the
Fourth cavalry but for several months
had been detailed by the war depart
ment with other army officers for
active air service at the aero-experi-
ment camp near San Diego.
Park has made many flights there
and recently attained the army a!t1-
tude record. 1t was for the purpose OF
demon stration of the efficiency of the
aeroplane in long distance army scout
ing operations that Park attempted to-
days flight. Lieutenant Park had a
notable record for service lit the Phil
ippines and especially operations
against the Moros. He came from
Massachusetts and was a member of
we'll known military family. A broth
er, who is one of the engineers of the
army is now in charge of the govern
ment Notifications at Corregidor which
guard the entrance to Manila bay.
Lieutenant Park was instantly
killed. The radiator of his motor
itself was resting on his body. The
aeroplane, one of the type used by the
army signal corps, was smashed almost
into kindling wood
San Diego, May 9.-Lieutenant Park
left the aviation camp on North Island
this morning at sos O'Clock in a spe-
cial stock machine on a cross country
flight to Los Angeles where he planned
to land and return, expecting to arrive
here this evening. He had made ex-
ceIlent speed up to the time of his fall
considering that he was flying against
a strong wind. The deceased came to
San Diego, January Is from the avia-
ton school at Hammondsport, N. Y,
where he had taken instructions. He
qualified for an aviator's license Feb
ruary Is and has since made some re-
markable flights. at one time remain
ing in the air hours and 55 minutes.

MAKING TOBACCO HARMLESS
''Disintoxication'' of Weed Does Away
With All the Ill Effects.

For many years DIR. Parant, of
Lono-Ie-Saunier, has been working on
the fascinating problem of how to en-
joy the delights of a good smoke with
out the ill effects hitherto considered
inevitable. Some two years ago he in
vented pipes and cigar or cigarette
holders in which the smoke was
obliged to traverse surfaces of consid-
cradle extent before reaching the
mouth of the smoker, thereby losing
perforce a large part of its toxic ele-
ments by condensation. This device,
used unfailingly and regularly clean
ed with care, greatly diminishes the
amount of nicotine and other dele
ferrous elements which can reach the
mouth
Now, according to the Journal des
DebatS, DIR. Parant has gone a step
further in first aid to the smoker. His
new method consists of the utilization
of the catalytic properties of certain
elements, especially aluminium. The
tobacco is noistened with an alumni
ium solution, is allowed to dry, and
then smoked.
What happens? Parant's theory is
that thanks to the elevation of tenn
perature, the aluminium which has
remained fixed upon the tobacco, af-
ter the evaporation, forms with the
nicotine highly Unstable illuminate
of nicotine, which breaks up almost
as soon as formed into the inoffensive
carbon dioxide, nitrogen
According to his experiments the
smoke loses from SO to so per cent of
its normal toxic contention the con-
dition always, which seems to be in
dispense BILE, that the tobacco, on
leaving the aluminium solution,
should be dried at rather high tenn
perature of 70 to 80 deg. Cent. When
dried at a lower degree the destruc-
ton of toxic elements by combustion
is much less complete.
Parant's method of procedure is
very simple. In the case of tobacco
it is merely moistened with the prop
er solution. For cigars it is better to
inject the solution by means of a sy-
ringe and then dry them at slightly
elevated temperature on a porcelain
stove or by similar means, in order
to eliminate the acetic acid employed
to dissolve the aluminium in the cat
a1ytic so1ution.-Scientific American.

PROBE GLOVER ATTACK
Representative Campbell Figures in
House Proceedings Today.

Washington, May 9.-The house met
an hour earlier than usual today to
take up and act upon the case of
Charles c. Glover, the millionaire bank
president, whom a special house COM
rnittee found guilty of contempt for as
sault upon Representative Sims, of
Tennessee in Farragut square on
April IS. The incident was the sequel
of criticism made by Mr.. Sims upon
Mr.. Glover in connection with real es-
tate transactions in Washington.
A special committee of the house rec
commended the speaker issue warrant
for Mr. Glover's arrest to answer the
contempt charge. Democratic Leader
Underwood announced that the matter
would be discussed and disposed of at
today's session.
When Representative Davis called up
the resolution there was but one re-
quest for time to oppose it. Represen-
tative Campbell. of Kansas, asked for
an hour to speak against the commit
tees recommendation. An arrange
ment was finally made to allow five
hours of debate on the resolution Rep
resentative Davis opened the discus
sion with an explanation of the COM

THE ORIGIN OF "SHOW Me-
How Missouri Obtained the Stick-in-
the-Mud Slogan.

A little while ago a wel1-intentioned
critic of ST. Louis informed the BUSH
ness men that their city had outgrown
it's stick-in-the-mud slogan, "YOu'n
have to show me- and that the first
step in the direction of progress must
be the selection of a less slow slogan.
A few of those who read his speech in
the daily papers, protested that show
me- was never in any sense the prop
erty of ST. Louis. They were not
sure whence it had come, nor why.
They could remember only vaguely the
first time they heard it, but they were
positive it belonged to the state of
Missouri, and not to any one city, as
suredly not to the metropolis on the
Mississippi.
A gentleman with a fondness for
delVing in the duSt-laden records of the
Historical society has now appeared
with the information that the chal-
lenge, You'll have to show me-" is a
corruption of the name of a famous
Indian chief of the Sioux tribe. whose
grave is in the western part of the
state-old Yumus Shome having led the
tribe who crossed the lowlands below
the mouth of the Illinois, carrying their
canoes on their heads from the Mis-
sissippi to the Missouri, and thus Civ
ing the name to the historic old French
town, Portage des Sioux. Yumus
Shome. it is averred, is buried at West
port, III JACKSON county, ana MS name
-carelessly pronounced You mus
show me-" has passed into the vernacu-
lar of the state.
1t is a pretty story, and one that we
ought to permit ourselves the pleasure
of believing. But, alas, it is a practical
age, and sooner or later some stickIer
for the fact is sure to come forward
with the proof there never was any
such chief as Yumus Shome. The man
who wrote to one of the daily papers
concerning him must have had some
authority for his statement. Indeed he
had what looked like excellent author
ity. He found it in a scrap book, and
it was in very good hexameter He
was sure that poet must have known
what he was writing about, or he would
not have succeeded in getting his
verses published. The material story
of the chief appeared in a magazine
called Kings and Queens of the Range,
and devoted to the interests of the
great Texas and Kansas ranchers. 1t
was published while the exposition at
Omaha was in the flower of it's first
years success, and was the effect, not
the cause of you must show me-

Omaha first talked of holding a trans
Mississippi exposition the newspapers
in Kansas City INDUCED in a fusillade
of sarcastic gibeS. The idea of Omaha,
the dead one, bestirring itself enough
to get up a worlds fair was too pre-
posterous to be accepted as serious.
And so, when the fair became a fact
and included among it's days a Kansas
City day, a huge delegation went up
from the Kaw town, each wearing a
button with the legend, I'm from Mis-
souri,. You'll have to show me- The
expression caught the public fancy and

Topeka has& landed the big jubilee
convention of the Kansas Sunday
School association which will be held

This will be the biggest Kansas con-
vention ever held. It will be in cele-
bration of the fiftieth anniversary of
the formation of the Kansas Sunday

eight thousand persons will be in at

If GERMS BROKE LOOSE
What Would Happen If Culture Tubes
Were Broken in Streets.

Suppose a mailman obtained possession
of the many millions of disease germs
bacteriologists' laboratories in this city
and cast them loose in the streets of New
York, or. because of an explosion, me
same deadly germs were sent adrift
What would happen?
This question was put to DR. William H
Park director of the research laboratory
of the health department, after several
persons had had it put to them, each IN
his own way advancing what would prob
ably and possibly happen
Some of these persons figured mat the
air would become poisoned; that men.
women, children and even animals would
be stricken with the tiny microbes, and
that in an incredibly short time the
streets would be filled with pale and bag
gard citizens, dying by thousands:
would become helpless. or useless, they
say. Business would come to stand
still, and in what had been a community
of healthy, active citizens there would pc
windrows of corpSeS from which pesu-
lence, the like of which history has never
known, would spread everywhere.
Thai there is not the slightest likelihood
this ever could happen is the opinion OF
DR.. Park, who, commenting upon tnAs
imagined condition, says:
What would happen If bottle filled
with disease germs were broken or were
scattered from building? Why nothing
so far as the citizens were concerned
Whether scattered from a building or
dropped in the street, the result would be
the same. The entire outfit of germs
The sunlight would kill them or, If there
were no sun shining, then the air would
accomplish the same result, although not
in the same time
THE chance of any one being infected
by the germs would be about one to
thousand. In the first place, one must
consider that these so-called terrible
germs are absolutely harmless unless they
enter the system through the mouth, and
in that fashion get into the blood One
with the little things. but long as. they
did not get into the blood there would be
no danger of contracting any disease.
''Of course, if some maniac managed to
get hold of a great quantity of typhoid or
diphtheria germs and spilled them into the
reservoir the probabilities are that a great
amount of harm would result, but. taking
matters on the whole, don't think the
public need lie awake nights in dread of a
horrible and all-enveloping cloud of I'M
fettered germs.''-New York Press.
