A clearing house for the hoards of health of Chicago and nearby towns was organized yesterday afternoon. A meeting of physicians representing these departments from Gary, Ind., on the south to Waukcgan on the north, and extending to the Fox river district on the west, was held in the office of lr. W. A. Evans, commissioner of health In Chicago. A committee on permanent organization was appointed and at the next meeting of the association, which will be held on Saturday, Iec. 7, officers will be elected and bylaws adopted. Dally reports will be made from each board of health In the Chicago health district. A case of smallpox in Waukegan will be reported the same day

to every other health department In the association. The number of persons who daily visit Chicago from outside towns and cities makes It possible for disease contracted In one section to be carried miles away to another district. In the same way contagion In Chicago may be taken to a far off suburb. Xo Iloiiiiliirlo; Common Chump. "There should be no boundary line In sanitary affairs between Chicago and Its suburbs," said Dr. Evans. "We have a common cause. The best results can be reached by a hearty co-operation of all departments of health In surrounding cities with Chicago." Dr. Evans was the first to undertake the work of bringing together the various departments. A letter was mailed to the head of each bureau several days ago. Fourteen physicians answered to the call. Several suggestions were made at the meeting. It was proposed that the entire district should have a hospital where all smallpox patients could be treated. It was also agreed that as the cost of maintaining laboratories was so heavy that it was hardly possible for smaller towns and cities to support thern, all departments of health in the association should have the opportunity of using the Chicago laboratory, each bearing the expense of its individual cases. Can Duy Vncelne in Common. "The matter of economy can be considered also in the buying of vaccine and anti-toxin," said Dr. Evans. "We can purchase this at wholesale rates and the members of the association can have the benefit of these prices. "There Is the matter, too, of keeping one another advised regarding the genoral health conditions. We publish a health bulletin each week, which goes to every school teacher, minister and newspaper in the city. It occurs to me that a part of this bulletin can be devoted to matters of especial Interest to the departments outside of the city limits, and in this way each department will know what is being done in every other department."

The subject for discussion at that meeting will be typhoid fever. The large number of cases that have been reported in suburbs south of Chicago has made this subject of much interest at this time to physicians.

eges of other mortals. Including the sacred and Inalienable right of talking over a telephone without having the Janitor tap the wire. All this and more, too, are included in a glowing apostrophe to the benefits and solace of the telephone laid down in an opinion handed down yesterday in the Tenth district court by Justice Wauhope Lynn, In which the court discussed at some length the right of flat dwellers as distinguished from cliff dwellers. The case at bar was one brought by Emanuel E. Fox, owner of the Iowa apartment house, against Francis A. Murdock, who lived at the Iowa until four months ago, but decided to move out for reasons which were given In court and which the court held good and sufficient for breaking the lease. One of the things complained of was that Mrs. Kallman, the janltress, listened to Mrs. Murdock's conversations over the telephone and repeated them. Court I'pholtf Tennnt. Judge Lynn said the case presented novel features.

"Indeed," said the court," in my long

experience on the bench never have I met a question so perplexing as this one. The tenant In this case finds himself, or rather his wife, the butt of

ridicule and the subject of insults. Her

existence in her apartments was made most unbearable."

The apartment house had a telephone

In the corridor of the hall with which connection was made to different apartments by the hall boy. Continuing, the court said:

"It seems when Mrs. Murdock, the tenant's wife in this case, was called

upon through the telephone the superintendent of the apartment house, Mrs.

Kellman, seemed to make it a practice to listen to what conversations other

persons had with Mrs. Murdock. The telephone was in this case solely under the control of the landlord and he is

chargeable for such acts.

"A telephone," said the court, "is

not a toy or instrument to be played

upon. It has passed the period of ex

periment and now is a real, living part

of ourselves. It expresses the soul

and mind of our feelings; the heart

throbs of the human voice are felt as

keenly over this instrument as when one person talks to another, and It can express its intonations and throbs when reflected by the human voice, and

wnere it is installed as part or an apartment house then its presence must be regarded as a sacred part of the

home." Man's Home III Castle.

Dwellers In apartment houses, said

Judge Lynn, should be surrounded by

From the case at bar the court said It seemed such dwellers sometimes were treated like prisoners of war, or persons simply wcre permitted to exist under conditions and restrictions growing so onerous from day to day tlsat home privacy was almost destroyed. "The rights of a tenant." the court continued, "I take it, cannot bo invaded by any false glamour, splendid entrances, brass buttoned hall boys, or officious elevator boys. If the charm of home life is to be destroyed by new creations or inventions in the way of rules or regulations made by landlords, then it is time we should revise our code of laws and adapt them to these changed conditions. The apartment house tenant Is not a cliff dweller to be made the subject of atttack, r.or

tlared from the floor of that body that vice and degeneracy are so prevalent among the upper classes of Germany

that if all the offenders were brought

to justice the ensuing scandal would eclipse the Panama cabal or the Dreyfus affair.

Herr Bebel was referring to the re

cent trial of Editor Harden on a charge of defamation brou erfif hv Count

Von Moltke. In thunderous tones that rang to the

uttermost corners of the German n.-ir-

liament hall, he drew a vivid picture

of the state of social rottenness which

he claimed has spread so far as to reach

almost to the imperial throne. Snj-M Practice Are Widespread. He declared that not only were Editor Harden's charges against Count von

Moltke anil Prince Eulenb orcr whollv

true, out that persons guilty of vicious practices were to be found in large numbers among the highest circles, and that they included even princes of some of the reigning houses. Herr Behel's speech is the talk of Germany, especially in army and of-, ficial circles. General von Einem, the minister of war, was forced to admit that Herr Behel's accusations were for the most part correct. The war minister admitted that vicious practices had become greatly prevalent in Berlin during the last twenty years. He admitted that the evil had taken deep root in the army, although he declared that Herr Behel's statement that whole regiments had been contaminated was overdrawn. "It is a fact, however," said General von Einem, "that our soldiers can with difficulty resist the temptations with which the aristocratic degenerates have debauched them. Thinks Orgies. Were Mythical.

"I am inclined to think, however," continued the general, "that the orgies which were described as having taken place in the Adler villa were mythical. No one in a position to know has corroborated the stories that have been told." The general said that as soon as Editor Harden's insinuations against Prince Zu Eulenberg were published, he and the highest military authorities proceeded to investigate them for the purpose of making a report to the emperor. He said that none of the charges could be verified. An Investigation of the charges against Count Wilhelm von Hohenau brought the same result. Because of this apparent lack of corroboration of the accusations the emperor agreed to place the accused officers on the waiting list at court, and promised that if they were exonerated they would be restored to imperial favor.

Toronto, Ont.. Xov. SO. George F. Caldwell's report of his thousand-mile trip through the frozen North along the rim of the Arctic West from Hudson Bay is a narrative of endurance, perseverance and courage. He had two natives and five dogs for companions. For two weeks they found no use for their rifles, hence were reduced to starving rations. The dogs were seven days without food. Finally caribou were killed and meat became plentiful. They found an abundance of 67-below zero weather, biting gales, barren and unsheltered country and many large lakes and rivers with fish In plenty. Perhaps the most interesting paragraph of Mr. Caldwell's report is that

wnicn reierrea to tne Esquimaux as follows: "The Esquimau is naturally of a good-natured, easy-going disposition.

yet at times a teud is followed up with a persistence which would elicit the admiration of people living in warmer climates. " Witness the case of Ackpee. He and his brother were out hunting ar.d had left their wives in the Igloo. During their absence a party of natives traveling through the country stopped

at the igloo. The travelers were well acquainted with the wife of Ackpee's brother, as she belonged to their tribe. They tried to persuade her to forsake her husband, and. gentler methods failing, carried her off by force." "Ackpee got to the Igloo first and from his wife learned of the abduction of his brother's kewuk (wife. "He lost no time in starting after the party. One of the party, so Ackpee stated, started for him with a knife and Ackpee shot and killed him. He followed this up by killing the rest of the party, five in all, and took his brother's wife back with him. " Since that time Ackpee was killed in 19tM. and his brother was killed by Keheskloth in the Spring of 1905. Keheskloth was killed by others of Ackpee's family in January, 1906, and the feud is still going on. "However, murders, such as mentioned above, are of rare occurrence, as the general good conduct of the coast guides would indicate.

Washington, D. C, Nov. 29. Tills has been the farmer's Thanksgiving. Regardless of Wall street panics, or Chicago clearinir house certificates, the

men with the bursting barns can congratulate themselves on a year's income of $7,412,000,000. This is the total value of the farm products of l'.07, according to the annual report of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, issued today. The farmer has more mo. to spend this year and more money to invest than he ever had before. If he were; minded to raid the high financiers with his surplus funds he could corner the stock market in Wall street and La Salle street. With his billions he could take the Illinois Central from Harriman and the Standard Oil from Rockefeller. The crop of 1907 has a greater money value than any crop ever grown. It Is worth 10 per cent more than that of last year, and twice as much as that of 1SS9. Weather Worth $50,000,000 a liny. The fine fall weather, which city people regarded without thought, made the farmer rich. Secretary Wilson says that every good day was worth 20,000.000 bushels of corn. 30,000.000

pounds of cotton, and the entire wealth

production of the farm was at stake

and was dependent upon a crop grow

ing season of sufficient length. Every

day of fine weather was worth JtiO.OOO,,000 to the farmer and to the nation.

With an agricultural production like this, how can there be hard times in the United States? The secretary points out that the miner cannot restore the mineral to the mine. With the farmer it is different. The primal forces and atoms of the universe are his. The sun shines and the rain falls and the farmer arplies his art and science to inexhaustible resources, ever adding enormously to the country's wealth, capital, credit and welfare. Corn is the chief of crops, and fourfifths of the world's production is grown in the United States. In value the crop is above the high water mark of 1906, and on the assumption that the crop will be sold by farmers at an average price nbt'te1ow the present one, its value is estimated at $1,350,000,000. Corn Financial ItasU of he World. Secretary Wilson points out that the value of the corn crop of eight such years as 1907 would pay for the duplicating of every mile of steam railroads in the United States and pay for their costly terminals, rolling stock, and all property. In thirteen years it would replace the present banking power of this country in banking capital, surplus, deposits and circulation.

and in seventeen years it would replace

the banking power of the world. The hay crop comes second, with a value of $660,000,000, and the cotton crop third with an apparent value only a few millions less. The wheat crop

is 52 per cent above the average in

value, amounting to a little more than

$300,000,000. During the last nine years wealth was created on the farms of hia conntrv to the fabulous amount of

$53,000,000,000.

A number of interesting comparisons suggest themselves in Secretary Wilson's report. Dairy products are much

more vaiuaoie man auj vius t-.v. corn and are equal to one-third the value of all cereals. The poultry products are worth more than wheat, and perhaps as much as the hay. The live stock sold from farms and slaughtered

on them is worth nearly twice as mucn as the cotton crop.

Washington, D. C, Xov. 29. All the evidence in the Bradley case is in, arguments will begin tomorrow, and it will be given to the jury Monday afternoon about 4 o'clock. The prosecution does not ask conviction In the first or second degree of murder in the prayers submitted today, leaving those points to be covered by the Judge if he sees fit in his instructions to the Jury. Manslaughter Verdict Ankeri. It might be inferred from the prayers that the best the prosecution expects is a verdict of manslaughter. It .says on that point: "The jury are instructed that if they believe from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant threatened and menaced the deceased

with a loaded pistol for the purpose of compelling him to marry her, or for

anv other purpose. ana wiiwo so

threatened and menacing the deceased said pistol was unintentionally or accidentally dischaiged and the deceased received therefrom the wound of which he died, then the jury should find the defendant guilty of manslaughter." Hilling Favor Defense. The defense makes the most ot its insanity plea in its prayers and those of the prosecution seek to discount It. The court granted practically all of the pravers, with some modifications, excent naratrraph by the prosecution

defining legal insanity, ford will use his own connection. This may a-' a victory for the

Justice Stafwords in this be construed defense. The

paragraph striken out reads: " The Jury are instructed, as a matter of law, that insanity as an excuse for a criminal act is a disease of that orgtin of the human body wherein reside the faculties of intellect and of volition the brain and that a morbid state of the affections or passions or or, ,inottiino- nf the moral svstem, the

DIM GETSJTS RULES Declaration by the Government Arouses Glee of Right Party.

St. Petersburg, Xov. 30. The declaration of the government, read by Premier Stolypln before the duma yesterday was received with dismay by the octoberlsts and the constitutional democrats, and with open exultation by the members of the right party. Tiio kevnote of the address was re

iteration of the idea of the autocratic power of the emperor as the sole guarantee of security and welfare in an era of disorder. The announcement also was made that the duma Is expected to take its cue from the administration of legislation, and the prernier outlined what future legislation was expected. Says Radicals Foster Crime. He excoriated the radical parties as fosterers of crime and sedition, and said their excesses would no longer be tolerated In Russia. This statement is taken to show that the administration looks with disfavor upon any alliance between the octoberlsts and the constitutional democrats. Premier Stolypin, when general de

bate opened, said the pernicious agitation originated by the radicals had degenerated into open brigandage. Criminnls. he said, had come to the fore

ground in a movement by which the industries of the country were being ruined and the younger generation demoralized. Any weakness in handling this situation would be a crime, and the government, in the future as in the past, would continue to crush disorders with an iron hand and insist upon loyal service from all state officials. End of Disorder First Aim. The premier attacked university autonomy and said that nothing would be permitted to prevent the government from taking an active course. The government was inclined, the premier continued, to punish the arbitrary use of power as severely as slackness of administration. Once order had been restored in the country, he said, the government would be able to devote all its attention to the Internal development of the empire, and the settlement of the agrarian problem, upon which the prosperity of millions of the population depended, was a first condition to tills end.
