HEW ORLEANS SEES THE LIGOT FINALLY ires of Reputation as Revolutionary Center of Western Hemisphere.

WHAT CAUSCS DANDRUFF. Greatest European Authority on Skin Disease. Says It's a Germ.

BY 8YDNEY ESPEY. Washington, July 1. Officials of the State Department are convinced that New Orleans has finally seen the light, and wishes to remove the revolutionwaking center of the Western Hemisphere. The evidence upon which this cincluslon is based Is the receipt of a et of resolutions, signed by 17,000 business men of New Orleans, indorsing the conventions now pending in the senate, providing for loans to be made under government supervision, to Honduras and Nicaragua by American bankers. These conventions, It Is believed by Secretary of State Knox, At put Into effect, will put an end to the revolution making business interjjnlttently carried on with New Orleans as the headquarters of the flliibuBterers. , It Is a rognif.ed fact thae revolutions In Central American countries (are not political, but mercenary. Insurrections against the government of lony of these little republics Is reIgarded, by all familiar with their thartacterl sties, as the attempts of the ;"cuts" to get possession of the spoils 'in the possession of the "lbs." These 'spoils consist chiefly in the custom ffcouse receipts. The party that consols the government collects the customs, and as the , customs are the great sources of revenue In these countries, there Is, therefore, a rich iprlze awaiting the men who can successfully lead a revolution. Terms of Convention. By the terms of the conventions with Houduras and Nicaragua, which ,are revolution ridden countries of the most extreme type, State Department officials believe that the custom houses of those countries will be effectively placed beyond the control of any revo 'lutionary plunderer. With this prize .of all revolutions taken from them, it 3s believed the insurrectionists of Central America, and Americans who have been financing their filibustering and revolutionary expeditions, will be without an occupation. With revolutions once stopped, it Is believed, the resources of the Central American republics will be properly developed, without danger of Interference. The continual political upheavals In these countries make the opera

tion of any extensive business enter

prise almost impossible. Not only are railroads Interfered with and property

damaged, but capitalists are reluctant to Invest their funds under the pre

carious conditions usually existing. Furthermore, It Is the almost universal practice of the revolutionists, once in power, to levy heavily upon foreign business interests for "contributions."

'Oftentimes, too, business firms of al'ij orts development companies and corjporations are Invited to help finance revolutions, under promise of liberal concession?, once the revolutionary leader has gained control of the governmental machinery. Framed Last Winter. The Honduran convention was framed last winter, and presented to the senate, but was never acted upon. It was taken up during the extra session and favorably reported out of committee. The Nlcaraguan convention, which 1a Identical In terms with that entered ilnto with Honduras, was framed a few weeks ago, and received a favorable iTeport from the senate committee on liorelgn relations. The Honduran contention was so framed as to permit I of its application to other Central lAmerlcan republics, as it is the Intention of the department, if these 'treaties be acepted, to negotiate others. The conventions, stripped of diplomatic verbiage, provide that any loan made by American bankers to Centra'.

American republics, shall conform to

certain conditions before the contract

shall have the approval of the United States government.

The most significant requirement is

rthat the nation receiving such a loan (shall give as security a claim, upon the

icustoms receipts. Certain portions of

;the monthly customs receipts, the per centage to be determined by contract

i shall be set aside each month for the (payment of the Interest due the lend'ers. To insure the proper collection ,of the customs, and the prompt and iTegular payment of Interest charges, it la stipulated that the customs shall be collected by a man to be chosen by the bankers lending the money, the collectors to be approved by- the 'State Department. This collector, shall, however, be an employe of the Igovernment, receiving the loan, and Ishall not be any one connected In an j official capacity with the United i States. What the Effect Is. The effect of this is to practically

I give the United States the power to

I designate the customs collectors ror illations borrowtng from American I bankers. Officials thus named would be men thoroughly trusted by the : State Department and the American

bankers, and it is practically certain

that the frauds now e xisting would

no longer be possible. In case of a .revolution, the new regime would be

; bound by the terms of the treaty as (much as the old, and would be obliged to set aside the same portion of the customs receipts for payment of the : Interest charges on the loan. Thus,

say State Department officials, there Tffould be no use In leading a revolution, as the spoils will be unobtainable.

Supporters of this policy of Secre

tary Knox point to the great success

f a similar arrangement with the Kittle republic of Santo Domingo. By

jthts treaty made in 1903, Santo Domln-

ko has been freed from revolutions

mver since, whereas before the treaty (it was in a constant turmoil. In this

(instance, it is an official of the United

jjtfetes who collects the customs, but

The old idea that dandruff is scales of skin thrown off, through a feverish condition of the scalp is exploded. Prof. Unna, Hamburg, Germany, European authority on skin diseases, says dandruff is a germ disease. The germ burrows under the scalp, throwing up .ittle scales of cuticle, and sapping the vitality of the hair at the root. The only hair preparation that kills dandruff germs Is Newbro's Herpiclde.

It is not proposed to go to this extreme in the cases of Nicaragua and Honduras. In 1005, the total imports of the Dominican Republic were valued at $2,399,852, of which 53 per cent came from the United States. In 1910, seven years after the treaty was put Into effect, the Imports were $6,257,691. CO percent of which came from this country. The exports have increased in that period from four millions to ten millions, with a corresponding increase of the United States' share in this trade. Are Badly in Debt. Results just as satisfactory can be affected in Central America, American diplomats believe. Nicaragua and Honduras, are almost as badly In debt as was the Dominican Republic when the United States took hold. Their debts are largely foreign most of the creditors being Europeans. It Is hoped that the proposed arrangements will eliminate from Central American governments European influences, as the bankers of Europe are not as considerate of the Central American nations as the United States finds it to Its own interest to be. It is painted out that with the creation of stable business conditions in Central America, and the maintenance of law and order, American business firms will greatly increase their trade with the southern republics. It is believed the ports of the Gulf coast, especially New Orleans, will derive great benefits from the expansion of commerce between the United States and the Central Amrican republics. It is the hope of the State Department to replace the trouble-making filibustering ships now clearing from New Orleans with many times their number of ships laden with American-made goods, to be sold in Central America.

Some Gossip Gatherd From The Gay A merican Metropolis

The Aeteria Brought Health and For. tun to Its Wearer. Familiar to some of the ancient writers and credited with supernatural powers, the asteria, or star gem, was highly valued for the benefits supposed to be conferred on the wearer. Its bright six rayed star, ever changing and shifting with every play of light and especially shooting out its flames in the direct , sunlight, would seem to be something more than an

ordinary crystal, and to the superstltious mind it could readily be believed to embody some tutelar spirit. The particular virtue attributed to this gem was the conferring upon the wearer of "health and good fortune" when worn as an amulet, and to those fortunate to be born in the month of April, with which the stone was associated or represented, the wearer was insured from all evil. The star stone is found principally In Ceylon, invariably in soil peculiar to rubles and sapphires. Indeed, it is composed of the same constituent "corundum," it9 chatoyant, or star rays, being caused by the pressure of what the natives call "silk." It is found in many different colors, from pale blue, pink and white to deep dark blue, ruby and purple. The blue are termed sapphire stars, the red ruby stars. It Is always cut en cabochon. the star dividing into six rays at the apex. It is next in hardness to the diamond.

New York, July 1. The dismissal of

C. Grant La Farge, the architect of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, now in course of construction, by the trustees of the church throws an interesting light upon the peculiar methods employed in the erection of that great church edifice which is to crown Morningside Heights. Mr. La Farge

and his former partner, the late Geo.

L. Heins were the architects who made the original plans for the church, about twenty years ago. They were in

charge of the work of construction ever since the work began, until Mr.

Heins died. Then Mr. B. W. Morris poined Mr. La Farge in the task of superintending the construction of the church. It appears that the original

plans, which had teen accepted by the

trustees of St. John, were never fol

lowed. Upon the request or demand of

the trustees changes were made from

time to time, which materially modified the original conception of the cathedral's architecture. The trustees, of

course, are of the opinion that the" changes suggested by them are great improvements, calculated greatly to

enhance the beauty and grandeur of

the structure. Whether Mr. La Farge,

being a mere architect and not a trustee, disagreed with the trustees or

whether he was considered to slow to act upon the valuable suggestions of

the trustees, is not known but the fact

remains that the trustees dismissed Mr. La Farge and supplemented him

by another architect. It seems to be their plan to pay no attention to the original plans, but to continue the

work regardless of plans, making alterations as the work proceeds and as their fancy may dictate. Architects are beginning to wonder what the Cathedral will look like whe nit is completed, but that will not be for more than fifty years. At last the police authorities of New York City have decided to begin a determined war against the numerous gangs of toughs and criminals which infest and terrorize various sections of the city. Heretofore these gangs have had things practically their own way. They committed holdups, burglaries, robberies and murders and, being well organized, with plenty of spies and helpers among the toughs of the localities infested by them, they enjoyed immunity for many years. Recently these gangs have become so bold, that Police Commissioner Waldo has decided upon a vigorous . campaign against the gangs. It is sincerely hoped by the law abiding citizens

that the war of extermination against the gangsters will be carried on to the bitter end, but it is also realized by them that the task awaiting the police authorities is heculdean. The war against the street-car rowdies is also to be carried on with great vigor and persistence and the magistrates are bravely helping In the good work, by imposing severe sentences of imprisonment upon these rowdies, whenever they are brought into court. If the police should succeed in breaking up the various gangs, in suppressing the car rowdies and in driving out a considerable part of the Italian undersirables in certain localities of Manhattan and Brooklyn, New York, would be a pretty safe place to live in. Some police magistrates in this city have distinguished themselves recent

ly by giving evidence of "almost hu

man intelligence,' as the typical circus -ad writer would express it. The other day a parly consisting of two men and several women went out boating. One

of the men insisted in rocking the

boat to frighten the women and did it so successfully that the boat shipped quite a lot of water and the women

became almost systerical. The other

man remonstrated, but without suc

cess. He said no more, but, when the

party was safely on shore, he gave

the "rocker" a punch in the jaw, that

sent him into the water. He had to be fished out with a boathook. The be

draggled "rocker" had his assailant arrested, but when the case was explained to the magistrate the latter dismissed the case and expressed his

regret that he did not have the power to send the complainant to joil. Elsie Olive, girl of seventeen years, and pretty tough for her age,

appeared in the Adams Street police court, Brooklyn, the other day, char

ged with having thrown a brick

through the window of a saloon. For

some reason the trend of the proceedings in court did not please the girl. She became excited and suddenly, without warning, she snatched her back hair off and threw it at the mag

istrate. Her aim was bad, however and the bunch of hair hit one of the clerks in the mouth. He spat out a few hairs and then, politely grinning, returned the bunch of "crowning glory" to the defendant. The girl was so excited that the hearing of the case had to be adjourned. There Is a painted named Evan Sherman in this city, who holds the record for falling from heights without hurting himself. The other day he fell from the top of an eight-story building, landing upon the sidewalk on his feet without sustaining any injury excepting a tear in his trousers. The man, who is now about fifty years of age, has a record of more than one hundred falls, many of them from considerable heights. He has become so skillful that he manages to land on his feet nearly every time and never has he sustained any injury beyond a slight sprain or a few scratches. His friends call him the "Human Cat." A real estate broker in this city caused considerable excitement among the physicians at the Seney hospital the other day, when he made the positive assertion that he had two hearts, one on each side of his thorax. He said that the two hearts did not work in unison, but alternated and so positive was he in his assertions, that a careful examination was made. It was found, however, that the man did not have two hearts at all, but only one, and that in a decidedly bad condition. The physician, ascertained by an Xray examination that the man was suffering from a well developed aneurism

of the heart, which accounts for the

peculiar sensations complained of by the patient and which made him be

lieve he had two instead of but a sin

gle heart. The outcome of the case is awaited by the doctors with considerable interest, as aneurisms of that

character are comparatively rare.

Footed His Counsel, but His

Won Him Freedom. The Paris bar is laughing at the rust of a youthful advocate who had to defend a man whose reputation was not of the best. After much thought the counsel concluded that if he could produce docu mentary evidence of his client's hon esty all would be well and to obtain an acquittal would mean much, as fa as future practice was concerned. Likt most suspects, the client was penni less, so to produce the necessary evi dence it was needful to provide tht means. The advocate gave his client a five franc piece about $1 and suggested that he should take it to the police and say he found it in the street and thus obtain a receipt. The client acquiesced, went to the police office and returned with a receipt. The advocate gave a cursory glance at the document and tied it up with his brief, little thinking of the sequel. On the day of the trial the young advocate relied entirely on the police receipt and thus terminated his appeal to the jury. "I have a, document which shows that during the past week my client found a five franc piece in the street, and without delay he took it to the police. Is that the act of a thief?" Then he triumphantly handed the document to the president of the court. The judge examined it closely and

asked:

"Was it 5 francs that he found?" "Yes, Mr. President," was the reply. I am quite sure as to that." "But," said the president, "the re

ceipt is for a franc only."

The court was convulsed, and the

jury, appreciating either the ingenuity of counsel or the sharpness of his client, acquitted the "honest" knave.
