MEXICO CITY. Dec. 27.—Officials
of the Mar Office admitted to-day
that they had received applications
from 50 Japanese officers for posi

It was stated that while the Govern

taken on the applications. /

< A LUMET, MICH.. Dec. 27— Plans
for peace in the troubled Calumet
• upper mining district went forward
o-day following the departure of
*’buries H. Moyer, president of the
Western Federation of Miners, who
was escorted out of the copper coun
try by a committee of the Citizens’
Alliance.
The citizens believed that witH*
Moyer away, the families of the strik-
ng miners who lost children, wives
"t fathers in the Christmas Eve dis
aster, which cost 72 lives, would ac- I
"Pt the $25,000 subscribed to relieve
ihe stricken survivors.
Moyer had a long conference with
representatives of the citizens’ or
ganization last evening. He refused
to retract what he had said about
his belief that a member of the Al-
-iance had caused the panic by shout
ing ••Fire” in the Italian hall while
the miners’ children were receiving I
their presents about a giant Christ

The citizens’ committee escorted \

board a train. It was thought Moyer
went to-Chicago.
Representatives >f th* Citizens' Al
ia nee faced some difficulty in their
attempts to confer with striking min
ers to-day because of the resentment
which had been stirred by strike
‘•aders on account of the deportation
President Moyer. Charges of kid
naping were made at the office of
Sheriff Cruse to-day by members of
'the Western Federation of Miners.
The Sheriff informed the miners that
he would make a careful investigation
of the charges, and if he found that
-Moyer was actually kidnaped and
ejected from the Calumet region by
force he would make arrests.

DuPont, Powder Magnate. Urges
President and Congress to Act
for Affected Humanity.
WILMINGTON, DEL . Dei . 27. -Al-
fred I. DuPont, powder magnate, has
offered to turn over to the Govern
ment the radium mines he owns in
Gilpin County, Colorado.
He is co-operating with Dr. How
ard A. Kelly, of Baltimore, to pro
vide radium for the cure of cancer.
Cancer kills 400,000 persons every
year, 50,000 In the United States
“Governmental ownersnip of rail
roads and telegraph lines.“ said Mr.
DuPont, “is nothing compared to the
necessity of taking over the radium-
producing deposits in this country. It
is almost impossible to believe that.
Dr. Kelly has effected such cures. They
seem too marvelous to believe. Nev
ertheless. they are true.
“This matter is too big for one man.
If Dr. Kelly appeared before a com
mittee in Congress and showed what
has been accomplished in wiping out
this disease. I do not think there
would be any hesitancy in the Gov
ernment taking over all the deposits.
In fact, the President should include
it in a message to Congress.’’
“A national institution should be es
tablished. No one cares for money
in this matter. Ten or twelve of the
greatest experts should be procured,
radium will be extracted and an in
calculable amount of good to human
ity will be oone. For my part, I shall
do all I can to co-operate with Dr.
Kelly and tne Government.
To Discuss Atlanta's
New Sewage System
Chief of Construction R. M. Clay
ton and his first assistant, W. A.
Hansel, have accepted invitations to
address the engineering branch of the
American Association for the Ad
vancement of Science, which meets in
Atlanta Monday, on Atlanta’* new
sewage disposal system.
The system, first used in this coun
try in Atlanta, has attracted interna
tional attention, and both Captain
Clayton and Mr. Hansel have become
experts on it. Hundreds of city offi
cials from other American cities have
been here to look it over. Friday the
Mayor of Montclair, X. J , visited the
plants, and was very much pleased
with them.

Practically All U. S.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27. The

weather in the United States is in
Southern Florida, according to the

has been succeeded in practically
every State by low temperatures and

The St. Lawrence Valley and North- 1

Cows’ Disease Is
Fatal to Farmer
BINGHAMTON, N. Y., Dec. 27. -C. J.
Banta, a farmer, died from anthrax, a
disease highly contagious and Inevita
bly mortal among cows.
A dozen—maybe thirteen —produce
firms are to move off South Broad
street soon after the first of the year,
and there is a good deal of wonder as
to what sort of district that busy sec
tion will develop next, after the pro
duce men have taken up their new’
stations along Produce row, between
Washington street and Central ave
nue.
The sixteen buildings—three sto
ries. elevators, done in ooncrett—
won’t be ready by January 1, it seems.
But they will be ready as soon ther -
after as possible, and when they are
ready the produce men will have to
start paying rent on their reserva
tions. whether they move in or not.
That rather complicates things.
Some of the leases on the present
stands run eight months into 1914
Some of them run longer. Some of
the produce men have leases that will
run two or three years
Hard to Sublet Stores.
Just now' they are trying to sublet
the stores.
"But it’s a lou&h job .“ one produce
dealer said Saturday. “These buildings
are not in good shape. I don’t .see
what aort of business aside from ours
could be carried on in them."
There is an idea, fairly prevalen*.
that the owners o f the present pro
duee stands will eventually put up
handsome and substantial buildings
and strive to make South Broad Jrireet
a big retail thoroughfare, on the
Whitehall street plan. Bui whether
they will start his work before the
present leases expire—that is anoth
er question, and one the owners are
not disposed to discuss freely.
The produce men are engaged just
now in trying to settle on a date when
they could move in a body
Large Firms Involved.
1 understand ‘the new ‘row won’t
be ready for occupancy before March
1," said one dealer. “My idea is that
a'l the boys ought to go together;
there’s no system in splitting up the
territory, as would be the case if they
moved a few’ at a time. Personally.
I’d rather pay rent at the new plate
after it is ready and stay on here
until the bunch goes. My lease runs
until next fall.’’
The produce men involved in the
prospective move are McCullough

pany, Bell Bros., Baisden & Co., th
Gailmand-Cheves Company. the
Barnes-Fain Company, the Fidelity

The injunction proceedings against
ihe Albion Hotel in Augusta, recently,
heard before Judge Hammond, seem
to shape up intelligibly the status of
the fight in Georgia for the enforce
ment of the present prohibition law.
and members of the legislature gen
erally are interested in Die develop
ment of the same
The application tor injunction ask
ed two things:
1. That the defendant be stopped
from carrying on any business under
its near-beer license, also
2. That it be restrained from sell
ing liquor the sale of which is pro
hibited by law
in the light of a number of recent
Supreme Court decisions, the first of
these prayers was denied, and the
second granted
Jt was ordered by the court that
“the defendant be temporarily re
strained from selling liquor which
is prohibited by law!"
In other words, the Albion Hotel
may continue to operate its bar un
der its near-beer license, but it must
not dispense “intoxicating liquors"
therein.
The question of when it is dispens
ing such liquors is left for a jury
to say, if that charge Is urged against
the place.
The temporary injunction doubtless
will be made permanent—that is, the
restraining order prohibiting the ho
tel from “selling intoxicating liquors
which is prohibited by law.' But a
jury must say finally when that or
der has been violated, if it ever is!
All of which, up one side and down
the other, seems to leave the matter
of enforcing the prohibition law pret
ty much where It has been all along!
In the meantime. Savannah is fac
ing the same sort of crusade that
Augusta is up against, but the point
of view of the prohibitionists there is
a little different.
Injunction proceedings have been
brought against, a number of dealers
licensed to sell near-beer in Savan
nah. and those injunctions have taken
the same course as the one cited in
Augusta.
A Savannah prohibitionist dl* uss-
ing the movement says. “This fight
is not necessarily a prohibition fight,
but a fight to enforce the law. We
take the position that In paying $140 -
000 annually to the po)*''*? department
as taxpayers that the citizens should
not be called upon to enforce the law
It is in the statutes and the police
should be given instructions to see
that it is carried out. We believe that
the majority of the people In any
community are law-abiding and want
to see the law* enforced. If the law is
unpopular, and there seems to be suf
ficient sentiment to support this con
tention. the thing for the people to do
is to go into the Legislature and get
relief for the Savannah section. They
should not. however, be taught to
flagrantly violate it while it is the
law."
And there you ere’.
