LIBERIA IS SAVED MAY IK A LOAII England Gets Strip of Republic and France Moves Her Boundary.

Monrovia. March 15. It now seems practically certain that Liberia has been saved. The financial cloud which recently hung no threatlngly over her ha been lifted. The vUlt to Monrovia of Koland P. Fulkner, financial repiTHentatlvo of IJherla, durlnK llio recent bobhIoh of the logialuttiro brought thin about. In twenty-four days ho removed all the local obHtacles to obtaining the much needed loan. There were three main barriers the Karne Iabun quextlon with England, the new boundary delimitation treaty with France and the Judicial njHtem. Settlement of the first and Hooond problems wan necessary to get the consent and co-operation of England and Franco. Judicial reforms wero needed to guarantee the security tit capital invested in the country. There was strong opposition to yielding; the Kan re Ialiun district to England and to ratifying , the new boundary with France. At a luncheon given by President IJarclay, at which many senators and representatives wero present, Mr. Falkner spoke some lain, unpleasant truths, especially about Liberia's lack of credit In the world's money markets. There was no further hesitation on the part of the legislature, as there waa no alternative for Liberia should the proioHod loan fall through. The Kanre l,ahun passed to Great Britain in consideration of 20,000 and a strip vf territory southeast about as large h Kanre Iahun Itself. The act reforming the judiciary wan tabled becanso the session of the legislature was too near the close to give the Tncntiure due consideration. This act would provide a simple system of Circuit Courts, with the Republic divided tnto four Judicial districts, and the Judge of the supreme bench to act In conjunction with these circuit Judges. One result of Mr. Falkner's visit liere whs the appointment of an Internal Debt Commission to ascertain Iho amount of the floating debt within the Republic and to classify this with a view to Its liquidation.

CHAMP CLARK

(Palladium Special) Boston, March 15. Speaker-to-be Champ Clark In an Interview in the April Columbian magazine gives his views on the central bank project: "I feel reasonably certain that if the people of tho United States ever agreo to creaje a great central bank, they will never regret it but once, and that will be as long as they live. If I were as rich as Rockefeller, I would have millions of copies of Secretary Shaw's admirable speech against a central bank printed and circulated free. That was one of the best, speeches made in the United States in twenty years. I do not, about a great many things,

agree with Secretary Shaw, but I thoroughly agree with him about the mat

ter of a central bank. Secretary Shaw Is a rampant Republican, or thinks he

Is, and Andrew Jackson was a Democrat, and yet they quite agree upon

this central bank proposition. Jackson killed tho central bank of his day and Shaw wants to prevent the one which now is being talked about In his day. I suppose that it is another instance of great minds running in the same channel. "When Senator Aldrlch was swinging around the circle a year or two

ago making speeches, trying to popu-

larize himself and his theories, he

said in one address: "General Jackson : was a great man, but he is dead.' j Somehow I believe that it gave the as-1 tute senator a great deal of pleasure;

to announce the last half of that proposition. Such men as Senator Aldrlch and General Jackson are natural, instinctive and inevitable antagonists. One believes in and labors for the classes, and the other believed in and labored for the masses. "One reason why the panic of 1907 did not last longer was that various money centers had sprung up in this country since 1893, the date of the last preceding panic. Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, and other towns had become somewhat important -financial centers themselves and therefore, the whole thing did not go down in a crash as it had in 1S93, and in preceding panics, because New York happened to get Into trouble financially. "The central bank scheme would centralize all the capital in the United States in the city to be designated as the seat of the central bank, or at least, there would be a general tendency in that direction. Consequently as I have said, I am with General Jackson and Secretary Shaw and against Senator Aldrich and his crowd in this matter."

Boston, March 15. Dr. Maurice 11. Richardson, the noted surgeon, took a very optimistic view of the future of his profession in a talk given in the

Harvard Medical school series of popular free lectures when he said possibly the surgeon may yet be able to give sight to the blind, to furnish hearing to the deaf and even give new life to a heart that has nearly stopped beating from valvular obstruction. He also hinted that it is not impossible that some day healthy human kidneys may by some sort of cold storage or other preservative means be kept until needed, and then substituted by a surgeon for the worn out and useless kidneys of some patient, who may then recover. He said that whereas cancer is always curable by the surgeon if he be given the opportunity early enough, not one in fifty cases of cancer of the stomach and not one in 'one hundred of certain other kinds of internal cancer reach the knowledge of the surgeon early enough to save the sufferer. The one thing above all others that has hitherto defied the surgeon, he said, has been obstruction of the circulation of the blood located in either the arteries or in the valves of the heart, but the wonderful things accomplished by Dr. Carrel in New York by putting a clamp on the heart, the speaker declared it would open up a

wonderful vista of possibilities for the future of surgery. If some way can be found to clear out an obstructed valve, he asserted, a man who finds it almost impossible to mount one flight of stairs would be just as well as anybody else as soon as the obstruction to his blood circulation was removed. An interesting statement by Dr. Richardson was that cancer on the lip is quite common and is largely due to smoking a clay pipe, the stem of which sticks to the lip and removes a portion of the membrane, forming the seat of the cancer. Cigarette smoking may also cause cancer on the lip, owing to the tendency of the paper to stick to the lip.

REVISE WOOLEN AND WOOL TARIFF FIRST Extra Session of Congress to Give Attention First to These.

AT ST. PAUL.

St. Paul, March lo. Zero tempera-j tures prevail all over the Northwest today. The mercury here was one be-

low; at Winnipeg, six below; at Port Arthur, eight below.

Washington, March 15. The Democratic members of the ways and means committee have decided that the wool and woolen schedules of the Aldrieh-Payne law shall be taken up first for revision. The members of the committee realize that thoy have a troublesome task on their hands in this schedule. The hearings before the ways and means committee of the

committee, and certainly before its adoption by the house, will be the change of rules sufficient to permit revision of the tariff, schedule by schedule. This also will delay matters to some extent. It is now firmly believed by many of the Democrats who ate in the city that the idea of attaching tariff measures to the reciprocity treaty will be abandoned, and that the treaty will be hastened forward in the house, leaving the senate to do most, if not all of the work of amending, the general changes in duties being reserved for other measures.

AT SOUTH BEND. South Bend. March 15. A blizzard

with rain and snow, and the tempera-

ture at the freezing point was the , cause the persons heard wore interest

character of the day here. i ed in maintaing the woolen schedule

about as it had existed existed for many years. Just before President Taft left 'Washington, he had a conference with Chairman Underwood and with the tariff board, and the latter was directed to cooperate with the ways and means committee. The board would doubtless be glad to assist, but the inquiry made by it has thus far dealt chiefly with raw wool, and even that is very far from being complete. Chairman Emery has spent some time in a personal inspection of woolen mills and he has a number of reports from experts. This material, so far as it goes, will be at the disposal of the ways and means leaders, but it is doubtful how much use they can make out of it. By pushing its work on wool and woolens the tariff board could, however,

get an incomplete report ready before very long certainly with reference to raw wool. As some time will be lost at the beginning of the session in organizing and in passing a Canadian treaty, it may be possible to give the board

time to work up a more complete-

state statement, and thereby afford the basis for formulating a bill . Change of Rules First.

Arguments in the so-called "tap line" cases, which were to have opened before the Interstate Commerce Commission here today, have been postponed until next month.

INVESTITURE OF PRINCE OF WALES

(American News Service) London, March 15. The work of preparing Carnarvon Castle for the investiture of the Prince of Wales this summer is proceeding rapidly, and many additional workmen have now been employed. It is understood that the ceremony will take place in the upper courtyard on the site of the circle of stones put up for the national Welsh Eisteddfod held there five years ago. Several of the towers of the castle are being prepared for the accommodation of the royal family.

(American News Service) Calexico, Calif., March 15. Mexican customs officials today fired a volley from the American side of the international line into the Insurrectos at IIgodones. The Insurrectos retaliated by firing several volleys back into the American town of Andrade. No casualties are reported.

It is of Moorish origin and is easily and euickly prepared, as befitted the habits of a nomadic race. Thick slices of bread are Boaked in new milk, fried in olive oil and then spread with honey and eaten hot. The result is something delicious, and those who have once tasted the rebanadas will want to taste It again.
