ANOTHER OUTRAGEOUS
MISREPRESENTATION

Saturday evenings issue OF the Free
Press contains the following state
ments:
Last night after the Free Press
had been out on the streets and
was being sought for by every
one. the Official paper Of the
county," (meaning the lndepend-
ent). venting their spleen and
jealousy over the better manner
in which we handled the story,
fled complaint with the post
office In an attempt to exclude
he Free Pres from the mails. 80
II the Free Fress had in the
past been as pro-German as the
Official paper" there might have
been some reason for them look
ing for some act on which they
could base complaint, but at
no time have the public been in
doubt as to our feelings in the
matter-for America first and all
the time-not rabid for the Ger
mans and now trying to square
ourselves by shouting me heap
good dam American" If the
truth was known the editors of
the official paper" have not
changed their sentiment one iota,
and they are just as pro-German
now as all last summer.
The above statements are outrage
GUS misstatements. Here are the
facts:
Last Friday afternoon the indie
pendent received telegram from SaI
Francisco instructing it to omit tn,
name and location of the tunnel wher,
the shooting occurred last Thursda!
night, as 1t was military information
At the time the telegram was received
our story OF the affair was written
but 1t was cheerfully changed to con
form with the instruction.
When the Free Press reached on
office some time later, it was foun,
to have acted contrary to the in
struction. We did not know or car
whether the Free Pres might b
brought to accountability, but is wa
suggested that the postmaster nigh
suffer IL he allowed the paper t
pass through his Office.
The postmaster being out of town
the telegram was shown to an assist
ant, and the statement was made a
the time that it was only for the pul
pose Of protecting the postmaster
There was no complaint filed, and n
attempt to exclude the Free Pres
from the mails.
AS to the statement that the II
dependent is pro-German, we expect I
be judged by our actions and ute
ances, and not by the contemptibl
falsehoods of the Free Press.
The Independent has ignored muc
that the Free Press has said latel
in the hope that its hatred woul
finally spend itself. But these la!
charges are of SO serious nature thi
we feel compelled on this occasion {
give its word the lie.

cHIGIS BACK TO OLD HOME
Roman Family to Occupy Historic Villa
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF
Original Owners.

After 1877 years the historic villa
Earnesina, on the banks of the Tiber,
half-mile distant from st. Peters
church, will again be occupied by de-
scendants Of it's original owners and
builders, the Princes of Chigi, says a
Rome correspondent.
The head of the house, Prince Luz

pointed marshal of the Holy church
and the guard of the Conclave and,
therefore, rules the Vatican during the
interim between the death of pope
and the election Of new one, recently
disposed Of the Chigi palace to the
italian government. 1t is stated that
by this sale he was put in a position to
buy back the Villa Farnesina. erected
In 1509-11 by the Papal banker, Agos-
lno Chigi, and notable because of its
frescoes by Raphael.
The palace will be restored and re-
furnished as it was when first occupied
by the Chigi family, an auction sale
having been held recently to rid the
palace of the furniture left there by
the king of Naples.
The return Of the Chigis is consid-
cred remarkable since it is proverbial
In Rome that when once a family
leaves its home it leaves forever.

Considering Robert Louis Steven
sons short life, he wrote a great deal,
but he planned still more. A writer
who has been delving into his record
offers what he says is hitherto I'M

tales which Stevenson meant to
write, but never did. 1t runs thus
The Indian Mutiny, Saranac Lake,
1888; Cannanmills, probably Saranac

the Pot, Samoa, 1893; The Sleeper

Stevenson planned other work not
in the line of fiction. They were: A

a Biography of Hazlitt, a history of
the Indian Mutiny, an English Gram

SERUM F00R RAT-BITE FEVER
Japanese Physicians Declare Cure 10
Obtained From Veins OF Persons
Who Have Recovered.

A group of eminent Japanese doc
tors has been busy studying rat-bite
fever ever since Futaki. Ishiwara and
their associates reported two years ago
the discovery Of the microbe that
| causes 1t. This Is a spirochete, So
called because Its form is spiral or
zig-zag. Several types Of this spiro-
chete were found In men who Ind been
bitten by rats, and in guinea pigs that
had been experimentally inoculated.
These were identified by Futaki as In
all probability identical.
Doctors Renjiro, Kaneko and Kilxuzo
Okuda Of the Imperial university In
Kvushu, Fukuoka, Japan, contribute
| to the Journal of Experimental Medi-
cine confirmation Of Futaki's belief :
Doctor Ryolzichi Inada contributes q
description Of the disease; Doctors Yu-
! taxa lido, Rokuto Holt, Hiroshi Ito and
Hidetsune Wani describe experiments
| that prove the rat to be the common
| carrier of the Spirocheta icterohaemor-
rhagica, as the microbe Of the disease
is called; and Doctors Yutaka lido, Hi
roshi Ito, Hidetsune Wani and Kikuzo
Okuda discuss the possibility of pro-
ducing immunity.
The latter go into details of their
experiments and come to the conclu-
sion that the serum Of persons who
have recovered from rat-bite fever con-
tains an immune body which destroys
the spirochetes Of that disease"
The Importance of these articles lies
In the final proof that this spirochete
is the cause of the fever, that rats are
the carriers, and that the disease can
be cured.

cocoanut Rats.

Cocoanut palms grow luxuriantly in
many parts of the Philippine Islands
and there is large demand for the
nuts among the people who live in the
cities and towns. The method of bring
ing them to the market at Manila is
both simple and picturesque. The CO.
coanuts are brought to the banks of
the River Pasig, a rough framework
of bamboo poles is constructed, and on
this the nuts are piled so as to form a
raft. Three or four men then pole the
curious craft down stream into the city

CAROLINE WARP WAS SHORT


The Caroline war; was border
trouble between the United States and
Canada, In which few persons were
killed, but the trouble did not last
long. In 1867 there was a strong re-
publican spirit rife in parts of lower
Canada which eliminated in Decem-
Der, 1887, in an unsuccessful insurrec-
ton in Toronto. The leaders of the
instruction fled to the United States,
and one of them, newspaper man
named Mackenzie, with % or 80 men,
including few from the American
side who had Joined him, seized an is
land in the Niagara river and set up
a provisional government. Their navy
consisted of steamboat called the
Caroline, and one dark night while she
was lying on the American side party
of Canadians crossed the river and
burned the boat, killing several men
on board of her.
The affair caused great indignation.
President Van Buren, issued proclama-
tons demanding observance of the neu-
trality laws. The New York militia
was called out and placed under COM
mand of Gen. Winfield Scott. Presi-
dent Van Buren, characterized the
burning Of the Caroline in American
waters as IAN outrage of most aggra-
waited character" and concluded by ask
ing congress for "such appropriations
as the circumstances in which our
country is thus Unexpectedly placed re-
quire." The affair dragged along a
few years, but was finally settled with
out further bloodshed.
