 Spread In Korea

Tokio, Nov. 10-Although cool weather has brought a decrease of cholera at Tokio the malady continues to spread at Osaka. Up to October 10 the cases at Tokio had reached 548; at Osaka the total was 2,0O1, with an increase of twenty daily.
 At Tokio there have been 151 deaths. The authorities believe that by the end of the month the epidemic will be entirely wiped out here. No foreigner has been attacked by the disease, so far as is known.
 The spread or cholera to Korea has had serious economic effect there as the auth critics have prohibited fish, ing. in a zone extending along 200 iles of coast. Cho3era is believed by any physicians to he easily circulated from fish tissue and the fishermen of Korea are said to have failed to com ply with sanitary measures ordered by She health department Some 27O, ,000 fishermen, commanding 10000 boats, are thus thrown out of work at the most fruitful cshing period cf the year. Fear of fish as a microbe car rier has reduced the consumption of fish throughout the Japanese Empire and as fish, next to rice, Is the chief food of the people the bar placed up- on it has caused misery among both fisherman and distributor.

West Point, N. Y, Nov. 10-Elmer Oliphant of the Army team is in the very center of the calcium in Eastern football circles at present He is not only the best of the Army's pigskin performers, but is rated as one of the best halfbacks playing football today.
 And this talk about his football ability is no idle rumor emanating from the minds of his friends. for he it said that most ably did this player demonstrate his proWess in many games this season and especially in the game with Villa Nova.
 He did what probably no other man will do this year, score 45 points in one game. In this game in which the Army emerged victorious by the score of 69 to 7, Oliphant was a veritable demon both on offense and defense, crushing tfe oncoming attacks with ease and As easily bowling through the line or around an end for a sub stantial gain, for a total of six iron. touchdowns.
 Although football is of chief inter- est just now, it is by no means the lim- it of Oliphant's abilities. In fact, foot ball is just one of his accomplish ments. Olipnant is the only four "A" nan in West Point history This means that he is the only man who

RAPID PROGRESS ON WORLD MAP
 IS BEING MADE
United States Share of Big International Job May
 Soon Be Completed

Washington, Nov. 10-Rapid pro- cess is being made by the United States in preparing it's portion of the huge world map which was agreed upon in 1909 by nearly all the princi- pal countries By international agreement the authorities began pre- pairing maps of the entire surface of the earth to be published on scale one -millionth of actual size, or about one inch to every 16 milts. All the maps are to be uniform in shape and general appearance and are to have the, same conventional signs.
 To meet the popular demand in this country for state maps, the United States Geological Survey, which has charge of the making of the American section of the world map, is preparing and publishing maps of each state on a larger scale than the world map sections These state maps are twice the size or about one inch to every eight miles. A map of the entire United States on that scale would cov- CT a sheet measuring twenty feet by thirtX-one feet.
 The survey already has issued such maps for 33 states, the compiling be- ing that of Florida, which is1 one of the largest of the series. In compil- ing the maps every available source of information has been ransacked for material, and many data never before available to the public in any form have been procured, so that the maps exceed in accuracy any heretofore published. The new Florida ma p measures A 1-2 inches by 1inches.

TRIAL BY JURY FOR 3 THE MOLDERS SUITS

That the suits against the members of Local No. 110, International Molders of North America, will be tried before a jury at the next term of court was intimated this morning by Attorney Thomas M Cullinan in the superior court He filed a motion asking that the Monumental Bronze o.. and the other local concerns which sued the union, should be required to make more specific their complaints of con- spiracy.
 The manufacturers contended that union men by physical threats and in- timIdation had prevented employees from working in the local plants. At torney Cul1inan said it would be only fair to have the defendants give the names of the men who are alleged to have made threats. Judge Gager took the papers.
 Another labor argument to come be- fore the court was the hearing on the form of injunction issued against Lo- cal No. 30 of the Internatnonal Order of Machinists.. The injunction was obtained by the Max Ans Co. of Fair field. Counsel for the union claimed the injunction was to sweeping and asked that it be modified. Judge Ga- ger reserved decision.
