NO LOAN FOR TURKEY;
 SITUATION IS TOO RISKY

London, Jan. 1.-The widely published report that Turkey has succeeded in negotiating a loan in London is discrrditcd here. It was rumnrru that a number of British bankers had consented to lend the Ottoman government Sl00. .000,O00 on condition that Turkey would grant autonomous government In the Hebrews in Palr>t inc.
 IL is pointed oul that tn" Diln- man government has been trying to float short term treasury bills bearing high interest. but these efforts have not met with much success. Under these circumstan- ccS, bankers here consider that a Turkish loan would have little chance. The situation seems to be that Turkey has been told she will be financed when peace has been concluded, but that no funds will be forthcoming until then.

Two Circle City Prospectors Who Disappe cared In 1909, Attract
 ing Attention of Officials.

The word brought to Fairbanks by Dr. Grafton Burke, of Fort Yukon, to the effect that Joseph
 Geraghty, the Chandlar miner who for a long time it was sup posed had been murdered by In dians, is alive and living on the Arctic coast.
 The first intimation to the eff
 feet that Geraghty was still alive was received in September from J. K. Owens, the man who went with Deputy Marshal Hansen to bring down the body of J: D.. Clark, Geraghty's partner. Owens wired that he had been told that Geraghty had been seen on the Arctic coast, between Flaxman and Hcrschel islands and that he was living with some natives.
 After the disappearance of Clark and Geraghty suspicion was directed against some Indians. The men had left CarO, in the Chandlar i'll the fall of 1909, go- ing up the east fork, and it was supposed that they would be back in the following summer. Nothing was heard of either until the body of Clark was found by a natiIe on bar. The remains were coN- cred with an old tent and some brush. Some cooking utensils were found and two or three emp ty shells, but no guns were in cvi- dcnce. There was no trace of Gcraghty and il was supposed [ that he also would be found dead at some other lime and place.
 Robert John, a Chandlar h. dian, received a hearing on a charge of having murdered Clark and he was bound over to the grand jury, but subsequently dis charged. The possibility of Ger aghty still being alive has inject cd new interest into the case and the federal authorities here will have the matter pro3cd within the limits of their jurisdiction.

men who can tell why the laps are
understood. Japanese surgeons have
made measurements Of thejr army,
which show that the smallaess Of the
stature is due entirely TO the almost
dwarfed condition OF the legs This
is no doubt due 70 the fact that from
childhood the Japanese practices an
unnatural way Of sitting upon the LEGS.
When a Japanese child is old enough
20 sit upon the floor his legs are bent
