ty black hand letters, threatening to

by Judge X. M. Lands of the United

This was made known when the

three such letters.

SEVEN MILLIONS

Heavy Run Caused Suspen=
sion of Mexican Bank.
BRANCHES ALSO AFFECTED

Four Minor Houses Located in var.
Gus States Have Closed and the
Condition Of Eight Others Is Similar
to the Parent Institution.
Mexico City, Dec. 24.-Directors of
the Bank Of London and Mexico have
begun careful scrutiny of the affairs
of that institution and if their find
ings are endorsed by other bankers
1t is not improbable assurances will
be offered the directors which will en-.
able full resumption of the business
of the institution.
1t is reasonably certain, however,
that the bank will continue to avail
itself Of the decree of President Huer-
ia making the last ten days of the
present year legal holidays.
With the possible exception of one
other institution it is believed no 9TH
er bank than the Bank of London and
Mexico will take advantage of the Of
ficial edict, which authorizes financial
institutions to do as little or as much
business as they desire during what
is regarded as financial crisis.
The approximate amounts with
drawn from the bank since depositors
began demanding their money several
days ago is said to exceed 100000
pesos. OF this amount 14,0O0,0O0
pesos ($7,OOO,0OO) was withdrawn
since last Tuesday.
The Bank of London and Mexico
has twelve branches in the various
states. Four were closed some time
ago on account Of local conditions.
On minor scale the condition of
the remaining branches is similar to
that of the parent institution, but all
are taking advantage of President
Huerta's decree.

tuberculosis From Milk.

Some of the best work that has
been done by those who are studying
the relation of bovine to human
tuberculosis is by DR.. Park and his
associates. Dr.. Park is connected
with the research laboratory Of the
of public health of New
York city. They have recently re-
ported a study of 252 tuberculosis
children under. five years of age, each
case studied Individually. OF these
252 there were POI due to bacilli of
the human type and 81 to the So
called bovine type of the tubercle
germ; or about 20 per cent due to
the bovine type. They have also
completed study of ISL cases of
tuberculosis of all ages, the list in
IS cases of their own. OF
this total number there were 1868
cases among children under five
years of age; and of these 1868 cases
292 were due to germs of the human
type and rs to the so-called bovine
type of tubercle germs.

The Princeton Potato Market.

Last Saturday the potato ware
housemen had a particularly busy
time. Strings Of wagons loaded with
the finest kind of murphys were
lined up at the warehouses from 9
O'Clock in the morning until after
at night and thousands of bushels of
potatoes were received. This week
the rush has not been so great but
many loads have been brought in.
A shortage of refrigerator cars still
prevails and consequently buyers
are shipping no more potatoes than
is absolutely necessary as there is
too great risk in making long-dis-
tance shipments in boxcars at this
time. <-s.
The potato shipments from Prince
ton for this season up to November

that not less than 1900 cars will be
shipped from here before the season
closes.
Prices this week in the local mar
ket have been practically the same

to a distance therefrom of three
blocks. The boys shook hands on
the proposition and the fun COM
menced. ~
Kennedy, an professional wres-
tier who is musc]ed like an OK,
started the ball by getting a good
hold on Palm, closing in on his neck
with both legs. PALMS hands were,
however, at liberty, and he obtained
a grip on the seat of Kennedy's
pantaloons. Thus, in the form of a
ball, they rolled down the steps to
the alley, striking the ground not
much the worse for their experience.
Kennedy then grabbed Palm and a
hard tussle commenced, but the
wrestler, being heavier, had a trif1e
the advantage and gradually dragged
Palm along in the mud. The latter
was, however, game and put up a
strong resistance with the result that
before Kennedy had dragged him
more than a dozen feet the two
were vestless and almost shirtless
and painless.
AS the tussle proceeded pieces of
gentlemen's wearing apparel, even
unto underclothing, we're torn loose
and flung to the breeze. Eventually
Palm gave up the contest but not
until he had been reduced to almost
a state of nudity and was looking
about for barrel to jump into. At
the same time Kennedy's shirt tails
were Tapping in the wind, his pants
had, bit by bit, almost disappeared,
and the marshal was observed in the
distance making rapid strides for the
scene. ....
"Down cellar, Jim!' exclaimed
Palm to Kennedy, and both of them
bolted into G. H. Nelson's basement
and donned gunnysacks to enable
them to rush to the Svarry home
uptairs without subjecting them
seves to arrest for attempting the
''back to nature" stunt.
1t was a friendly encounter and
furnished deal of amusement for
the spectators, but each of the boys
had at least ten dollars worth of
clothing rent asunder and ruined,
besides acquiring scratches on their
noses, bumps on their heads and
scarified backs. ..

source where they reach the amount
mentioned in the law. EMPLOYERS
in such cases must pay the tax to
the internal revenue collector. The
tax is due from everybody who comes
under the requirements whether or
not one is a citizen of the United
States or whether or not one resides
in this country so long as the income
is derived from the United States.
In the matter of bonds and mort
cages, etc., it seems to be the pre-
vaiilng belief among bankers that
the government will eventually have
to come to the stamp system, the
same as was used on such documents
during the Spanish-American war,
for the reason that with the compli-
cations that are expected to arise
from. the income tax, that will be
about the only way that the matter
can be handled with any degree of
satisfaction.

of the new procathedral in Mime

subject, "Why Churches and Church
going People?" An audience of
$500 friends of all denominations ex-
tended the venerable prelate an
ovation.
A stirring call t. the average good
citizen from forgetfulness of the
homage due his Creator was voiced
by the archbishop. He declared that
the future looks dark for a people
who attempt to fight the battle Of
life outside the church in forgetful-
ness of God. Reasons for churches
and church-going people were dealt
with in the light. of the leavening
effect of religion on race advance
