QUARANTINE PUT
ON PERSIA MARU
TODAY ABSOLUTE

Absolute quarantine was declared
by the U. s. public health service on
the T. X. K. intermediate liner Per-
sia Maru when she docked at Pier 16
at 10 o'clock this morning because a
Japanese steerage passenger died
from a disease the. ships surgeon
calls beri-beri, but the exact nature
of which is not known. Because Of
this DR.. F. E. Trotter, chief quaran.
tine officer, took no chances.
No passengers were allowed ashore
except the 169 Asiatic steerage for
Honolulu, who were loaded into auto
trucks and taken to the quarantine
station. The two first-cabin passen-
gers for Honolulu were also removed
to the quarantine station with the
steerage. Freight brought by the
steamer was 1859 tons.
The man who died was taken i'll at
s a. m. November 26, a day after de-
parture. He died at 8 o'clock that
night. No detailed history of the case
or clinical notes were kept by the
ships surgeon, according to DR.. Trot-
ter, which would help to determine
positively what the passenger was suf-
fering with. It might have been some
thing more contagious that beri-beri.
so that DR.. Trotter could only enforce
absolute quarantine measures in the
circumstances.
At s o'clock tonight the Persia will
leave for San Francisco She is a
day late because of stormy weather.
The steamer arrived off port at IL
O'Clock last night.

OF BORDER Discomfort
Replies to Telegram Sent Him By
Senator Blair Lee Asking About
Guardsmen's Return Home.

The universal spirit of cheerfulnees
and contentment in the National Guard
troops is the finest thing ever saw"
said Maj. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, in a
telegram from Columbus. N. NJ. yesterday
to Senator Blair Lee of Maryland,
which was submitted to the Senate.
The message was in reply to a tele-
gram from Senator Lee calling atten-
ton to published reports that Gen.
Bliss intended recommending to the
Secretary of War that guardsmen who
are on the border who are discontinued
with camp life be sent back home a.
soon as military exigency would per-
NIT.
Il cannot believe that you made
such a statement" said Senator Lee In
his telegram. land consider II merely
an attempted attack from some per-
sons hostile TO the development of
the National Guard and trying to use
your name for false ends"
The only statements made by me
in reference to National Guard con-
ditions on the border" said Gen. Bliss,
in his reply. ARE to be found in my
daily reports to the Secretary of War
Anything else is a lie."

DOUGLAS. Ariz., July 2e.-Tons Of

ties or extra clothing and other COM

more pleasant. are stored in ware
houses.

ed that the people of the country be
advised that in sending presents to
relatives or friends in the National

the particular regiments of which they
are members.

CLAIMS INSOMNIA CURE.
Austrian Physician Lays Malady to
Irregular Blood Circulation.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
VIENNA, July 10.-A we'll known Aus
TRAN physician. DR.. Ebstein. claims the
discovery Of a physical exercise that
will cure insomnia AS explained in the
Physical and Diet Therapeutics Journal.
the cure consists Of the simple process
of grasping with both hands the head
board or rail of the bed and of strain
ing upward until the arm and shoulder
muscles are fatigued.
Sleeplessness in most cases is caused
by irregular blood circulation in the
brain, DIR. Ebstein explains This comes
to pass because of the slight difference
in altitude between the head and the
heart when one is lying down. BY
raising the arms and straining upward,
the physician claims the flow of the
blood to the head is increased. while
at the same time a certain degree Of
fatigue aids In getting to sleep.

No information OF any great conges-
ton of individual freight or express
packages has been received at the War
Department. While 1t is not matter
for the special consideration of the

that any considerable congestion ex-
lists.
There is a suggestion that some meet
ing has been held to devise a plan for
the more rapid distribution Of individu-
al packages, in order to increase the
comforts of camp life. and that this
meeting has been interpreted into a
complaint and protest instead of an
assembly to devise ways and means.
