Seabreeze Council Doinas :

The town council met in regular
session Monday evening, at which
time the following business was
transacted: The registration books
were read and the names of those
dead or removed were strickened off
and the usual list published. The

ferred to chairman of the finance
committee. 1t showed that the pres
ent council will have a balance to
turn over to the next council after all
bills are paid, thus leaving the taxes
for 1912 all clear for the coming sea
sons work. This was considered
good showing for the amount of good
work which had been done by the
present council. Alderman Buckner,
chairman of the street committee,
made his statement of the work
done under his supervision on Emer-
son boulevard and Atlantic avenue

he made good saving to the town

prepared, showing how all moneys
had been expended, for the informa-
ton of the tax payers and the pub
lie generally.

ONIONS DESTROY
 DISEASE GERMS
Dr. Mary Walker Says Will Make Person Immune From Smallpox and Many Diseases if Eat
 en in Any Form.

Chicago, Dec. 27.-The use of plenty of onions will drive, among other things, contagious diseases out of any city, pr. Mary Walker, who is visiting with Chicago friends, said last night. Here are Dr. Walkers directions for the use of onions:
 Eat plenty of them, stewed, boiled, fried or raw.
 Keep the fumes of onions con- tinuously permeating the atmos- phere.
 Spread onions in the alleys, on the lawn and any other place where it might appear they would do good"
 Doctor Walker said onions were particularly effective against small pox. The use of the vegetable in two cities, at least, has proven her contention to be correct, she said.
 Madrid was one of the affected cities" she said. Some even had made the statement before onions were used that the city would be depopulated by smallpox. The min ister assured me that the spread of the disease had been halted by the use of onions. They also were used in other cities.

BRYAN TALKS UP
 TO CONGRESS
The COmmOner Says Progressive Democrats Must Rule Committees .-Old Ring Politicians Must Not
 Get in Way of Progress.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. Exchanging that reactionary Democrats in the senate and the house are planning to fasten themselves on important committees, William J. Bryan, in a CommOner editorial yesterday, warned the new Democratic con- gress against the blight of senior ity."
 "The Democratic party is going to have another struggle in both senate and house over the commit tee assignments" MT. Bryan says, land it is again threatened with the blight of seniority-that is, it will be asked to put the ambitions and interests of individuals above the welfare of the party.
 The progressive Democrats will now be in the majority in the sen ate caucus. Will they allow a re- actiOnary minority to man the ship? Will they allow length of service to outweigh sympathy with the progressive cause?
 If it were a personal matter the new senators might prefer to yield to the older ones, but a man who acts in a representative capacity is not at liberty to be courteous at the expense of his constituents. The Democrats of the senate owe it to the party to make the senate or ganization represent the progress i've sentiment of the party and thus enable it to work in harmony with the administration.
 ITO do this the rule of seniority should be ignored. Assignments to committee should be made on the basis of fitness and with a view to giving faithful expression to the will of the majority"

DYING CHANDLER
 PLEADS FOR SLAYER
Young TeXarkana Carpenter Suc- cumbs to Wounds Inflicted Tues day Afternoon by Tom Fisher
 Takes Blame on Himself.

Texarkana, Dec. 26.-"Tom was no more to blame than I. It was my fault, and I hope he will not be prosecuted.''
 This was the substance of state ment made yesterday by Jack Chandler, who died at 1:30 D. m. at the Pine Street Sanitarium from knife wound inflicted the day be- fore by Tom Fisher.
 Chandler's head was nearly se- vered from the body, and that he lived for a day after being wounded is matter of surprise.
 He was conscious most of the time and realized that death was near when he made the statement taking the blame upon himself and pleading for leniency for his slayer
 The funeral was held this after noon from his late residence at i0S Martha street, interment being ir Woodlawn cemetery.
 Fisher is in jail on charge ot murder, and will likely be given 6 preliminary hearing in a few days 1 tie is overcome with grief over the result of his drunken act. The fac that Fisher had threatened to xii Chandler, and that he was heard tC say he had purchased the knife with which the crime was afterwarC committed for that purpose, make: his predicament grave.
 Both men were about the same age, and were the best of friend. until the quarrel that resulted il the killing.

$5,OOO SALARY SACRIFICE;
 WILL HE MAKE IT?
If GoethaIs Becomes Panama Zone Governor He Will Get Less
 Pay Than at Present.

Washington, Dec. 26.-It was un- destood before President Taft left Washington on his present trip to Panama that the only element of uncertainty in the appointment of Col. Goethals to be governor of the canal zone was the consent of that officer himself, the salary of the new office being 5000 less than the compensation he is now receiving as head of the canal commission.
 So anxious has Col. Goethals been however, to crown his work of ca nal construction with the establish ment of a permanent administra- ton which is to operate the great waterway and look after the small army of employees who will remain in the zone, that it was we'll under stood by his friends here that he was prepared to make this sacrifice.
 President Taft had let it be known that he regarded it as only fair to his successor in office for the retiring administration to select the new governor of the zone, permit ting Col. Goethals and the engineer officers associated with him to em- ploy the knowledge they have ac- quired of the capabilities of the present force of canal workers to select from among their number the officers and employees of the new government. Once this work is done and the canal is in smooth operation 1t is known to be Col. Goethals' de- sire to be relieved of further duty on the isthmus.

BULGAR DELICATE
 SPEAKS PLAIN TRUTH
Tells Turkish EnvOys It Is Futile to Discuss Peace Except With Turkish Dismemberment-
 Little Progress Made.

London, Dec. 29.-The peace ple- nipotentiaries representing the Bal kan states and the Turkish empire, after a session lasting an hour and 30 minutes yesterday, adjourned until i o'clock Monday afternoon.
 The Balkan representatives found the conditions demanded by the Turks quite unacceptable, and no progress was made toward the re- establishment of peace.
 One of the Bulgarian delegates is reported to have said to the Turk representative:
 You must remember the allied troops are still at the Tchataldja lines. Unless you are willing to negotiate on a basis which means the dismemberment of European Turkey, and discussion of peace terms will be futile"

BRYAN FOR A TO { PLAN
Tariff Revision by Schedules Said to Be NebraskanS Idea-WayS and
 Means Committee Ready.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Views here differ as to just when the extra ses- sion of congress should begin. It is understood that the Democratic majority of the ways and means committee, a number of whom were at the capitol yesterday, favor the policy of the president-elect in withholding decision as to the date until they have had an opportunity to close up the coming hearings on the various schedules of the tariff and to frame the tentative tariff revision bill for the consideration and action of the incoming congress. The hearings are scheduled to con- tfnde until the last of January.
 An interesting bit of gossip yes terday was {" Nat declaration that William J. B3fr B3frsyEa4iR4,--en y4iR4;, his recent visit here, in discussing the tariff, advocated carrying out the Under wood program of revision legisla- ton schedule by schedule as in the last sesion of congress, and to fol- low that up by a general revenue bill, making still further reductions to a revenue basis, the idea being, as MT. Bryan was quoted, to pre- vent "dickering' among protection ists.
 The ways and means committee majority expect to have the tenta- tive bill ready by the expiration of this congress, but it may not be ready at that time. The desire is expressed to hold off the date of the extra session until the finish of the tariff work is in sight.
