Many Cities Demand Establishment Their Towns-committee to Hold
 Hearings in Fourteen Cities.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27--The board established by congress to se7 lect the cities which shall have the regional banks will hold hearings in fourteen cities before making the se- lection. Hearings will be held in San Francisco, Portland and Seattle, as all three cities are working hard to se- cure whatever advantage may be se cured from the establishment of the regional bank. Special committees have been appointed by the chambers of commerce of these cities to go back to Washington and lobby in the interest of their respective towns.
 The Washington delegation claim that Seattle should te given the pref erence, as Seattle is the clearing point for all of the banking business of Alaska, and that with the passage of the Alaska railroad bill the business will increase greatly and will total more than that of Portland and San Francisco combined

Goodbye to the Classics.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-The National Council of Teachers of English, which finished a three days annual meeting here, put it's official seal upon a prop osition. to teach modern authors in the. public schools and universities. The teachers expressed the conviction that the classics were, not of much value for educational purposes. The curriculum. according to. Prof. w. H. Wilcox, of the Maryland State Normal school, will consist of equal parts of Aiexandre, Dumas, Jack London, Rich ard Harding Davis, and Booth Tark- ington, with selections from De Mau- passant for older pupils, and plenty of Kipling for all .,..
 Tt is time that the art of teaching received some consideration" said James F. Hosic, ot the Chicago Teachers College. 'The trouble is that we have too many young teach CTS who have received their degrees for writing treatises upon the con- parative philology of the intransitive verb"

VERY EASY l TO .....

 sor, Because He Knows How 1t Shouid be Done.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 27.-It is easy enough 10 avoid getting cancer. Here's all you have to do: Pass your knives, forks and spoons through the flame of g. Bunson turner before us ing; refrain from eating raw foods; boil and filter all water; see that all vegetables and fruits are we'll cooked before eating. Toast your bread so as to destroy microbes on the surface.
 This is the advice of Professor Metchnikoff, the famous Russian bac- teriologist, who claims to have estab- lished absolutely that cancer is not hereditary but is produced by mi crobes from the outside.
 "If more than one member of a family develops cancer it is simply because they live in unhygenic sur roundings or fail to observe proper precautions against Infection" says the professor

LONDON, Dec. 27-The English Red Cross society has asked for funds to aid the 100000 Bulgarians who are reported as starving to death. Hun dreds are dying every day in Bull garia and conditions in the Balkan states are every day becoming more and more desperate: The king is un- able to relieve conditions, as the treasury is depleted, the cost of the late. wars being enormous.
 The appeal is meeting with 8. ready response and the agent of the Red Cross at Sofia has been. instructed to furnish food to the starving. .. -.-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The State department has received advices sug- gesting that communications between Mexico City and Vera Cruz, its near est port. may be cut in the near flu ture, though this information is not positive. The department apparent ly inclines to the view that this cut ting of communications would be due more to President Huerta's determi- nation to suspend traffic than to the rebels ability to blow up the lines. The number of Americans who would thus be shut in is known to the de- partment, though it refuses to give out the figures.
 The one unexplained feature in these various items of official infor- nation is the unqualified statement that Secretary Bryal's optimism has been unimpaired by developments of the last few days The determination. however. to keep Mir. O'Shaughnessy at his present post hts ill with this statement and shows at least that what has been called the Micawber policy of this government has not been changed. MT. iO'Shaughnessy will remain in Mexico City, and MT. Lind at Vera Cruz, and both of them are in constant communication with Washington, receiving instructions for every movement from the State de- partme1it:
 Unofficial est imates here fixed the number of Americans in Mexico City at 1,50O. though the State department appeared reluctant to excite alarm in this country by giving the precise figures. Six months ago it was es- timated that there were 10000 Amer jeans in Mex'co scattered throughout the country. so that the estimate for Mexico City would be moderate.
 While press dispa tches from Vera Cruz and the City of Mexico indi- cate no danger to the line connecting those cities. tne department has bees advised of such danger. This infor- nation is thought, partly at least, to explain the urgency with which some Americans have tried to leave tAe Mexican capital. s.es-

CALUMET, Mich, Dec. 27.--Seere- tary Mover, of the Western Fedora tion of Miners, who is here in charge of the striking miners, declared to- day that the man who opened the door of the nall in which the strikers and their families were enjoying big Christmas entertainment, and yelled Fire! Fire!" was a member of the Citizens Alliance of this city and caused the panic purposely.
 The panic caused the death of 30 children, who were crushed to death, while many more were injured. The city authorities are striving to locate the idiot who started the panic, but no one seems to have recognized him, and he was gone in an instant
 The Citizens Alliance raised $25,- 900, which they offered to the con- mittee in charge of relief work among the families of those who were in jur>d in the fire or to defray burial expenses. The committee, however, refused to take the money, claiming it was coming from the men who have done much to injure the cause of labor in this section.

THOUGHT MAN UNDER BED
Maiden Lady in Atlanta Sounded a
General Fire Alarm.

A maiden lady of Atlanta who
lives in a boarding house at the cor
ner of Walker streets became so
frightened a few nights ago that
she rushed screaming to the street
and turned in a general fire alarm
from the red box on the corner.
In less than five minutes Chief
Cummins himself arrived in his red
devil auto, followed in catering
succession by the engines, the hook
and ladder trucks, the chemical en-
gines and reserves.
By this time the Iady's screams
had aroused the neighhorhood
Pending the arrival of the police
Chief Cummins himself, armed with
an axe, led the way into the room
Sure enough there was the foot still
protruding from under the low bed
or rather it seemed to be there,
for when Chief Cummins stopped
and grabbed it around the ankle
with the intention of yanking out
the offender he found he had moth
ing but an old tan shoe, number 9,
which some careless servant had
thrown there by mistake.

The Mormons are not making any

The Mormons are not making any
rapid advances in Georgia. They
are not making any inroads on any
other religion. They have secured a
few converts here, and they are do
ing just as any religious enthusiasts
would do il they came into the state
and preached their doctrines. There
is scarcely a question but that priests
of Buddha could, within the space OF
time, secure as many converts in
Georgia as the Mormons have done.
The particular incident that has
brought the church into the lime
light just now is a baptismal cere-
mony which the Mormons held at
Lakewood, near Atlanta. They ar
ranged to baptiZe few of their con-
verts, and announcement to this eff
feet set the preachers of Atlanta by
the ears. Nearly all of the pastors
now are talking about public denun-
citation of them in their own pulpits,
and continued agitation Of the mat
ter is in prospect, but the indications
are that the more it is stirred the
more it will benefit the Mormons
During the seven or eight years thai
they were let alone they accomplish
ed little in Georgia. Now, it is said,
numbers of people are beginning TO
make inquiries into their doctrine

'HELPED THE MORMON FAITH
ATLANTA MINISTER'S GIVING IT
MUCH FREE ADVERTISING.
The More 1t Is Stirred the More 1t
Is Benefited. PowcPlesS to
Check the Propaganda.

ATLANTA.-Newspaper agitation
alone is responsible or the preachers
of Atlanta having worked them
selves up into a high state of excite
ment over the existence here of the
Mormon church.
Some time ago one of the Atlanta
papers, hunting ground for a fresh
sensation, discovered the presence
here of couple of Mormon elders
engaged in circulating Mormon pro-
paganda. The reporter seized upon
it as a great find and spread it out
all over the front page of his paper
with big headlines, telling how the
NoTmons were working hard for con-
verts, and getting some.
The Atlanta ministers Immediately
began to hold meetings and pass res
oluticns. They declared the Nor
mons should be suppressed, and
searched high and low for some law
which might be applied to the sup
preston process. Finally they adj
mitted that they could not find it,
and that SO long as the Mormons did
not teach or preach the doctrine of
polygamy the ministers were pow
erless to take any legal steps against
them.
All of this agitation has been pie"
for the Mormons. They are living,
thriving and growing fat upon it.
They have been preaching their re-
ligion for seven or eight years and
during all that time have not had
as much advertising as the recent ag-
itation has given them within the
space of couple of weeks.
