TRAFFIC Ifl I'Btl OFFICIALLY ASSAILED Secretary Straus and Commissioner Sargeant Plan to Deport Many Aliens. WOULD END TRAFFIC IN BOYS Greek is Fitted Against Greek in Making Investigation for the Government. Washington, D. C, Oct. 14. That the federal authorities, working in conjunction with the local police in New York and other large cities throughout the country, intend to break up the slave traffic in women and boys is vouched for by Oscar S. Straus, secretary of commerce and labor, and Frank P. Sargent, commissioner general of Immigration. Reports just placed in the hands of officials here show that women are being brought to the United States in ever increasing numbers, from nearly every European country, particularly France, and from China and Japan. In New York, for example, according to advices received from Helen M. Bullis, who was appointed immigration Inspector at Ellis island for the purpose of paying special attention to the illicit traffic In women, houses run for Immoral purposes are supplied with girls from ParU. Several disorderly houses in New York, known to harbor women imported for improper purposes, are now under surveillance. The important thing, in Miss Bullis' opinion, is not to deport these women but to apprehend and punish to the extreme limit of the law the men engaged in the business of trafficking in them. Would End Traffic la Boys. Secretary Strausa in his determination to end, if possible, the sla-ve traffic in women, also plans to break up the system whereby hundreds of boys, most of them Greeks, are held in a number of big cities of the United States in a condition practically amounting to bondage. Under Secretary Straus" direction a comprehensive inquiry Into this form of slavery has been in progress for many months. The Investigation is indirectly in charge of Alciblades Seraphic, a Greek, recognized as one of the most competent inspectors in the immigration service. In this case Greek has been pitted against Greek with gratifying results to the government. Inspector Seraphic has prosecuted his work In New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Indianapolis and New Orleans. His reports, it is understood, disclose a startling state of affairs, and in a number of instances, upon evidence collected by Seraphic, Greek padrones have been brought into court and convicted of violations of the immigration laws. Other convictions in this connection are expected to follow. Secretary Straus and Commissioner General Sargent have issued instructions to immigration officers to arrest and deport alien women of ill repute and procurers of such women. If Secretary Straus can break up the traffic in immoral women and boys brought to this country to serve in practical slavery he will count it as one of the most important achievements of his administration of the department of commerce and labor. EMPEROR FFiiZJSEF HAS TURHFOR WORSE Physicians of Euler Fear Lobular Pneumonia; Age Against Him. RECEIVES FOREIGN MINISTER Exaggerated Reports Cause Thousands to Crowd Park Surrounding the Koyal Castle. Vienna. Oct. 13. The condition of Emperor Francis Joseph became worse today and there Is a feeling of deprvssi"n among the members of the royal household. This morning the patient was regarded as slightly better, but toward noon his fever became higher and the physicians now fear lobular pneumonia, to which he Is susceptible owing to ! is age. Extreme precautions are taktn to prevent a further chill. A sleeping potion was administered last night and his majesty slept until 6 o'clock this morning. After awaking he arose and was propped up by pillows In an armchair. He has been given considerable doses af quinine. Hie emperor repeatedly asked to be taken Into the open air, saying that he had been used to it the whole of his life, and that otherwise he could not recover quickly. Owing to his condition, however, the physicitns refused the request. ReeclTCs Foreign Minister. The physicians made a phy.-'icial examination during the afternoon and the signs pointed to the possibility of the development of further catarrhal inflammation. The emperor was able to receive the foreign minister. Baron von Aehrenthal, and also gave aw ua!ence to several high functionaries - r which he dined, but could eat but little. The physicians are of the opinion that the loss of appetite does not arise from

the fever, but is the corusequence of the patient's confinement indoors. The circulation of numerous exaggerated reports regarding the emperor's condition, created great public anxiety, and thousands of persons gathered In the park surroundiDg the pa:ace in order to be reassured. The establishment of a temporary substitution is planned for ot. 16, when the Ausgleich or mutual financial arrangement between Austria and Hungary, must be laid before both houses of parliament. This can be done only If the emperor has sanctioned the bill, and as his majesty is u..able to discuss the matter with minsters a temporary substitution will be necessary.

TO COBBJHE LORDS British Liberals Aiming Flood of Oratory at Upper Parliamentary Body. London, Oct. 14. -The liberal campaign for the restriction of the pjwer of the house of lords to alter or reject bills passed by the house of commons, which was inaugurated by the premier, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, at Edinburgh, is now in full swing throughout the country. Members of the cabinet are addressing meetings almost dally, the keynote of which 13 the government's complaint of the treatment by the upper house of measures it considered of first importance. That this flood of oratory will effect the house of lords is not expected, the object, on the other hand, being to influence electors who, if the session of 1908, which convenes on Jan. 20, again brings the two houses Into conflict, will before long be called upon to settle the question. Two Houses Certain to Clnah. The campaign thus far has disclosed a heavy parliamentary program containing several questions on which the house of commons and the house of lords must corns to grips. In the first place, there will be reintroduced some measures rejected by the house of lords this year, to be followed by the licensing and education bills, both of which undoubtfully will lead to strife. Should all or any of these fail of approval a bill will be introduced giving effect to the resolutions of the house of commons favoring the restriction of the powers of the house of lords. This would mean an immediate general election, which many persons believe must occur next fall, as they consider it impossible, in view of what has occurred, that these questions or the past opinions of the two parties can be reconciled. Favor an Early Election. The younger members of the liberal party favor an early election, believing that the difference between the unionists on the question of policy and leadership would insure a return of the liberal government to power. The conservatives, however, are not Idle and whatever difference exist, they have started a campaign which will reach every county, directed chiefly against the socialistic tendencies of the radicals and laborites, to whom the Chamberlainites are making arguments for tariff reform. The laborUes are just as busy and are paying no particular attention to either of the big parties, but are keeping old age pensions to the forefront of their platform and advocating the total abolition of the house of lords. NEGRO ABDUCTS GIRL Cab Driver Lashes Horses Drives Beautiful Society Leader into Country. Logansport, Ind., Oct. 13. Forcibly abducted. In the midst of a hail of bullets, by a negro cab driver, and driven at top speed into the country, Miss Grace Marvin, a beautiful society girl, was rescued today by a posse, which found her unconscious in the vehicle, with marks of violence on her throat. Claiburn Lewis, the cab driver, was discovered in the cab besida the unconscious girl. It was necessary to take him to jail through the back streets of the city, to avoid a mob which had formed to lynch him. Left In Cab; Driven Away. Miss Marvin's abduction was spec tacular. She had been making a tour of road houses in the vicinage, in company with liarry Cardigan, a vaudeville actor. He left her in the cab while he entered a cafe for a cigar. When he returned to the street he saw the cab rapidly disappearing, with a negro lashing the horses into a gal lop and the young woman leaning from a window, screaming for aid, but not daring to jump. Cardigan gave chase on foot, firing his revolver at the negro, and ran until he was exhausted. The shots had attracted a crowd and a posse was hurriedly formed, which overtook the cab after a chase of two hours. When caught Lewis had driven into a secluded lane, apparently with the idea of throwing his pursuers off the track. Diamonds and Money Found. When abducted the girl was wearing diamonds belonging to Cardigan valued at ?1,000. These, together with the actor's overcoat, in which was $400, were recovered in the cab. William Marvin, the young woman's father, has sworn to kill the negro and is being guarded by his friends. Mosquito Extermination. The department of agriculture recommends the following species of fish as being the most efficient exterminators of the mosquito larvae: Top minnows, sunfish, goldfish, sticklebacks and shiners.

RAISING FUND 10 PUH1SHMET.R0BBERS Minority Stockholders are Seeking Ground for Criminal Action.

RYAN AND BELMONT SPLIT New York Traction Revelations Re sult in a Quarrel Eetween the Two Magnates. New Lork, Oct. 13. William F. King, former president of the Merchants" association, who raised $47,000 for Dis trict Attorney Jerome's campaign fund two years ago, is heading a private movement to force a restitution from the Metropolitan Traction looters and to have them punished. Mr. King admits that he has little hope of any action being taken by Mr. Jerome. The law firm of Greggs, Baldwin & Pierce of 27 Pine street, of which former Attorney General Griggs is the head, has been retained by a committee of which Mr. King is the head. Their acceptance of a retainer was received only today and the first consultation with their clients has been arranged for Monday afternoon. Seek Ground for Criminal Suit. It is contemplated to bring civil suits against the men who plundered the Metropolitan treasury and to lay in formation in a magistrate's court against them. Warrants can be sworn out by any citizen who presents evidence of crime to a police magistrate. "I have not consented to head this movement," said Mr. King tonight, without consultation with Chairman Wilsox of the public service commis sion. Minority stockholders have asked me to represent them. I can say pos itively that civil and criminal suits will be pressed if the lawyers find ground for them. Ryan and Belmont Enemies Xott. August Belmont has parted company with Thomas F. Ryan, in the Interbor-ough-Metropolitan company, which controls all the railways of Manhattan and the Bronx. Though they are still bound together by the street railway merger, hostility has taken the place of alliance and harmonious action between them. Two years ago Ryan forced Bel mont Into the merger. Today Belmont has repudiated and disowned both the Metropolitan surface system and the gigantic, waterlogged merger and is engaged only in holding tight to his original profitable properties the sub way and elevated lines leaving Ryan responsible for the rest. He has refused to give up one penny of his profits to help out the stranded Met. CHURCH WORKERS MEET Sunday School Association Enjoys Prosperous Year; 14,000,000 in Ranks. Louisville, Ky., Oct. 14. The annual meeting of the International Sunday school executive committee, which began here yesterday, Is attended by members from twenty-two states of America, Canada, and Mexico, representing 155,000 Sunday schools and 14,000,000,000 members. Reports of officers read at the open ing session Indicate that last 3'ear was one of universal progress and pros perlty. General Secretary Lawrence of Chi cago, presented his annual survey of the field, which he said marked the close of the association's greatest year. fourteen thousand conventions were held last year. The home department has nearly half a million members. More money was raised and used than in any previous year. Treasurer Wells of Chicago, reported that for a little more than two years, since the Toronto convention, he has received $17,000 more than was reported at Toronto for the entire previous three years. The United States government has selected the association to collect the union and undenominational Sunday school statistics of the country. Last night the executive committee gave a banquet to 400 representative business and professional men and Sun day school leaders of Louuville. Today the pulpits of the city were occupied by the visitors and an im mense mass-meeting in the afternoon at Warren Memorial church was held. Manv of the officials and membeis of the committee will attend the dedi cation of the international head quarters In Chicago on Wednesday. FIRST CONGRESS IJ PENS Sec. Taft Officiates at Con vening of First Filipino Assembly. Manila, Oct. 13. Great interest is shown in the convening of the first Philippine assembly this week and the opening address of Secretary Taft. Ri val political factions are active and home rule and other issues promise to make the session lively. The action of the assembly on ques tions relating to the political future of the Philippines is expected to be de termlned largely by the opinion ex pressed by Secretary Taft In his ad dress opening the session. Americans

THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES

are generally in favor of a epecific pro nouncement on Philippine policy. The course of legislation will depend mainly on the result of the fight of the Gomez radicals for control of the national party. The nationalists, when united, exercise a controlling influence, but their Internal divisions give the progressive Independents the balance of power. It is not likely that party spirit will play much part in the assembly's affairs, owing to personal differences within the parties. The indications are that Manuel Quezon will be the successful candidate for speaker. He is believed to be favorably regarded at Washington, and his election gives assurance that no resolution for the independence of the Philippines will be considered. PAGE DRffiSUS INSANE Professor Jelgersma Urges Change in System of Education. Berlin, Oct. 13. Professor Jelgersma, the eminent psychiatrist, has startled this country by a very outspoken utterance on modern civilization as the fundamental cause of the prevailing and increasing nervousness of modern men and women, both in Europe and America. Jelgersma sketches the merchant, financier, the manufacturer surrounded by the mighty means of communication of the present day, and shows how the development of modern life, with all its rapid changes, must create a feeling of disappointment, fear, and oppression, which is the real basis of the state of mind of which the outward sign Is loss of equilibrium in the struggle for existence. The victims are men and women who from youth up have been unable to withstand the strain and stress. The primary object of education therefore should be to strengthen these weaklings against their environment. For German ears the professor's next sentence sounds very revolutionary. He says: "We must gradually get rid of our notions that the training of the intellect Is the highest part of education. The training of the mind must give way to the training of the body. "We send a child to school when it Is only 6, and immediately the wretched being begins to read, write, reckon and a dozen other things which it ought not to look at for years to come "It is this which stunts its intel lectual development and retards the growth of qualities which are far more useful, more noble than mental agility. We overload the mind and sow seeds which blossom later in a lunatic asylum." TEDDY Oil BEAR'S TRAIL Sees Good Sized Member of r Bruin Family and Fresh Trails. Stamboul, La., Oct. 13. President Roosevelt has not shot a bear since coming to Louisiana, but his party got sight of a good sized member of the bruin family yesterday and a number of fresh trails, but nothing happened, owing to the absence of dogs. The hope Is strong that when the hunt is resumed tomorrow a bear, big or little, will be run to earth. Many of the dogs used in last week's strenu ous search of the barren up-country are reported to be badly lamed and an effort is being made to replace them with fresh animals. The whole countryside turned out today in expectation of seeing the president take his departure from Stamboul for the south, but in view of his change of plans was disap pointed. Stnmbonl Clnd of the Chnnjre. There was general expressions of satisfaction, however, over his recon sideration of his determination to move to Tensas parish, for now that the change is not to be made Stam boul confesses candidly that she would have been much chagrined to have her distinguished visitor go away with an empty bag before the time originally fixed. It is not believed by the president's associates that he will now make any change, but he has made no plans. All will depend upon the developments early in the week. There Is no doubt of the presence of the game now, bu it is shy and may disappear in the presence of the hunters as it did from the Monticello camp. Order for Special Train Canceled. The order for the special train which was to have made its appearance to day was canceled last night, but I will be renewed if the president man! fests a disposition to go south. The Tensas parish people are reported as much disappointed over the failure o the president to carry out his program for a visit to their section.

TELEGRAPH STRIKE

BECOMES MORE MOTE Hold Mass Meetings; Vote to Fight on; President Small is Hissed. LEADER IS ASKED TO RESIGN ays American Federation of Labor and Affiliated Unions Did Not Respond as Expected. Chicago, Oct. 14. Commercial tele graph operators throughout the chief cities in America yesterday rejected the suggestion advanced by President S. J. Small of the national union that the ime had come when the strike against the Western Union and Postal companies should be declared off. At the same time officials of the telegraph companies gave out a statement that here was nothing to arbitrate with he operators and that they had no concern in the action of former employes. In every city where a vote was taken the executive head of the keymen's body was excoriated without mercy. Charges of treachery were frequent and demands for his resignation were many. Jeer Smnll In JVevr York. At a mass-meeting of operators In New York Mr. Small was hooted, and jeered, and hissed as he explained his reason for calling a vote. Despite the constant Interruptions he told of the depleted condition of the national treasury of the union and of the point blank refusal of telegraph companies to make any concessions. lie declared the situation was acute and that each local should reach its own decision. The response given him was a vociferous demaned that he "get out" and an unani mous vote to prolong the strike. PRESIDENT SMALL. Chicago operators were equally determined to stay out, and their massmeeting held to vote on the question ended with a demonstration of strength before the general offices of both telegraph companies hers. Other Cities to "Stay Out." Other cities which voted to continue the strike were: Albany, N. Y., Baltimore, Md., Dallas, Tex., Denver, Colo., ElPaso Tex. Kansas City, Mo., Philadelphia Pa., Pittsburg, Pa., Salt Lake City, Utah, San Antonio, Tex., San Franciso, Cal. and Washington, D. C Boston, Mass., operators postponed consideration of the question today, but it Is assumed to be certain they will follow New York's lead. Chicago Men Veto Pence Plan. The surrender of President Small of the striking telegraphers and his recommendation that the fight on the "Western and Postal Telegraph companies be called off met with a derisive reception yesterday in the ranks of the Chicago union. At a meeting of 700 members of the local union in Uhlich's hall. North Clark and Michigan streets, in the afternoon it was resolved unanimously to con tinue the strike. The resignation of Small was demanded and, failing this, his Impeachment on a charge of treason to the union was recommended. As a finale to the Jeering speeches, catcalls, and other tumult that dis tinguished the meeting, the strikers paraded from the hall to the Western Union and Postal buildings, where they indulged In demonstration indicating: their scorn of the strike breakers who were at work at the keys. Assistant Chief of Police Schuettler was obliged to break up the street gatherln Saya Cause Is Hopeless. In New York City yesterday Small said that when Commissioner Neill told him on Saturday that the companies refused on any terms to treat with the telegraphers while they were on strike, this fact, coupled with the knowledge of the state of affairs, of the depleted state of the national treasury, and that some of the members were weak kneed, made it his duty to put the facts before them. He did not believe that the strikers would be able to finance the strike with the little assistance the national treasury could give. He said that business men In Chicago and other cities had communicated with President Clowry and appeals had been made to President Roosevelt, but nothing was done. He was sorry to say, as an unpleasant duty, that the American Federation of Labor and the affiliated unions did not give as ready a response to appeals for help as he expected. The New York local had missed a weekly payment of strike benefits and other locals were in as bad a condition. WHEN PERPLEXED, CONSIDER Fill ST. THE WAAT AD SOLUTION.
