tualize Equitable Life.
NEW YORK, July 19. Expressing
the belief that the present trustee ar
rangement for control of the Equitablf
Life Assurance Society may only tem
porarily satisfy either policyholders
or the public, and that -a real solution
of the society differences has not been
reached, George , Westlnghouse has
suggested a nexv plan for stock con
trol of the society, by 5000 policyhold
ers. The Westlnghouse plan is out
lined in a letter to Paul D. Cravath. an
attorney of this city.
The letter was made public today.
The proposition outlined is that all
shareholders be invited to place their
shares with those of Mr. Ryan in the
hands of the trustees, with power to
vote for an amendment to the society's
charter providing that the stock shall
consist of 5000 shares of $20 each, In
stead of 1000 shares of 5100 each; that
no person uxeept a policyholder shall
be a director; that only one share shall
be held by any single person, who must
be a policyholder; that at each annual
election seven policyholders who have
not previously served shall be chosen,
and that trustees be directed and em
powered to offer for sale at $1000 a
share the 5000 shares contemplated by
the amended charter to the 5000 larg
est policyholders, and in the event of
any such offer not being accepted, then
to continue to offer said shares to the
next largest policyholders until the
whole 5000 shares shall have been dis
posed of.

Norway Resents Proposed De

WILL ASK RECOGNITION
Commerce Makes International Re
lations Necessary Election In
Stockholm Shows 3Icd crate
Sentiment Growing.
CHRISTIANIA. July . (SpeclaL-Nor-way
Is .not disposed to await the pleasure
of the Swedish government in the matter
of adjusting the union crisis. Informa
tion from Stockholm arriving at this city
today, to the effect that the Riksdag
commission Is likely to recommend noti
fication that Sweden dissolves the union
but declines to discuss details for six
months, arouses Norwegian resentment,
although such action has long ago been
discounted.
If the Riksdag vote for postponement
until January, Norway will also almost
certainly ask the powers for Immediate
recognition of her independence, if not
fully, at least partially. In order that
Norway's Important commercial Interests
abroad be not Jeopardized The Norwegian
government will not ask recognition as a
matter of pride, but as a practical neces
sity. Unwonted reserve and much mystifica
tion on the subject of Norway Is as
sumed by the Swedish, press. It is under
stood here that the Swedish official news
agency had 'orders to request the Swedish
newspapers to suspend discussion of the
crisis at present.
The defeat at the primaries In Stock
holm. Monday, of Professor Warburg,
who represented the element which wants
to " stand out "In defense of Swedish
honor." is regarded here as a jsign that
moderate sentiment is Increasing in
Sweden.
Emigration to America from Norway is
said to be normal and not to have been
affected by the crisis.
Preparing Terms to Norway.
STOCKHOLM. July 19. Both houses
of the Riksdag have concluded their
secret meetings, and a Joint committee
is preparing a bill embodying the sug
gestions of the different factions for a
settlement of the differences between
Sweden and Norway.
FIGHT FOR MINING COMPANY
Sensational Speculation on Berlin
Exchange Caused by Struggle.
BERLIN. July 19. Sensational spec
ulation is going on on the Berlin
Bourse in the shares of the Deutsche
Luxemburgische Mining Company,
which today recorded a Jump of 20 per
cent, making a total rise of S3 per
cent since June 30. Tho Bourse is much
puzzled over the meaning of this spec
ulation, which recalls many features of
the great struggle over the Hlbernia
coal mines last Summer between the
banks and the Prussian Treasury De
partment, to secure control of tho
mines. Various rumors are in circula
tion In explanation of the present cam
paign. The Deutsche Luxemburgische Is the
creation of the Darmstadter Bank,
which reorganized ft three years ago
from two bankrupt iron companies, the
DIfferdingen and the Dannenbaum. Ac
cording to one version, another bank is
trying to secure control, but another
and apparently the more correct ex
planation is that the Deutsche Luxem
burgische Company Is about to enter
Into a fusion with several other con
cerns. The Deutsche Luxemburgische Com
pany has a capital of 5G.600.000 and
50Q.O0O in debentures. It owns furnaces
and rolling mills patterned after the
American system. The chairman of Its
board of directors is Director Dotn
burg, of the Darmstadter Bank, who
visited the United States in 1903 to
study American methods.
ALIENS BILL IS PASSED.
Restricts Immigration of Paupers
and Criminals to Britain.
LONDON. July 19. In the House of
Commons today the aliens bill passed Its
third reading by a majority of 93.
Premier Balfour. In winding up the de
bate, contended that the prspssed restric
tions were less severe than those Imposed
by any other nation. He referred to the
American immigration laws and asked
whether anyone would assert that the
Americans were Indifferent to freedom or
looked with unmoved eye on th suffering
and oppression, yet their restrictions as
well as the restrictions imposed by the
British colonies .were more severe than
those Imposed by "this moderate and rea
sonable bill."
The aliens bill Is much on the lines of a
measure Introduced in the House of Com
mons last year, which, was opposed by the
government owing to obstructions. It
prohibits Immigrants from landing except
at ports where an Immigration officer Is
stationed, and only with his consent and
after a medical Inspection. Immigrants
may be refused permission to land, it they
are unable to show that they are Jn a
position to obtain means to keep them
selves decently. If Insane. If on account of
disease or other causes they are likely
to become a charge on the taxpayers. If
they have been sentenced abroad for an
extraditable crime not of a political na
ture, or if they have been previously ex
pelled from Great Britain. The Home Sec
retary may order the "expulsion of an
alien on a certificate from a court of law.
The bill however, provides that an alien
shall not be refused permission to land
on account of want of means, if able to
prove that be or she Is seeking admission
to Great Britain solely to avoid persecu
tion for political offenses.

VENEZUELA' CLAIMS DAMAGES
Sacs Cable Company for Aid Given
to Revolutionists.
NEW YORK. July 19. The Venezuelan
authorities have, according to a Herald
dispatch from Caracas, Instituted proceed
ings against the French Cable Company
for damages Incurred by the government
for the cable company's alleged partici
pation In the Matos revolution.
This Is different action from that de
cided against the company on March 31.
which resulted in declaring the company's
concession null and void, and assessing It
In damages for failure to fulfill the terms
of Its contract. Cablegrams form a large
part of the evidence claimed to be In pos
session of the authorities. According to
common report, they were taken .from the
cable office by an operator. They were
first offered to the French legation for
sale, but the proposition was declined, af
ter which they were sold to General Cas
tro. It was the common belief that the
French Minister. Charles R. Weiner, left
Venezuela for Paris In May for the pur
pose of settling the matter, but nothing
has come of it, and the long-deferred suit
has begun.

quois Indian tribes In the state and to

er Nixon today appointed a special com
mittee. The committee will visit the va

lature.
The large sum due the New York In
dians was derived from the sale of land
In Kansas, which was given them In ex
change for the old St. Regis reservation
in this state. After the exchange was
made, the Indians refused to go to Kan
sas and the land there was sold for their
benefit. It Is probable that, after ascer
taining the views of the chief men among
the Iroquois and their attorneys, the com
mittee will go to "Washington and con
sult with the commission on Indian af
fairs. Another subject to be investigated Is
the question of Indian citizenship. Many
of the Iroquois are prosperous and well
educated, and there Is a growing senti
ment in , favor of making them citizens

The disease that has done more ' v5) "PUTgllV
than any other to wreck, rain and lnCrM.!
humiliate life, is Contagious Blood Poison. Sorrow, shame and suffering go
hand in hand with this great enemy, and man has always hated and fought
it as he has no other disease. It is the most powerful of all poisons; no mat
ter how pure the blood maybe, when its virus enters, the entire circulation
becomes poisoned and its chain of horrible symptoms begin to show. Usu
ally the first sign is .a. small sore or ulcer, not at all alarming in appearance,
but the blood is being saturated with the. deadly poison, and soon the mouth
and throat begin to ulcerate, the hair and eyebrows drop out, a red eruption
breaks out on the body, copper-colored splotches and sores make their
appearance and the poison even works down into the bones and attacks
the nerves. Kot only is the disease hereditary, being transmitted from
parent to child, in the form of scrofula, weak eyes, soft bones, weak, puny
constitutions, etc., but is also so highly contagious that many a life has
been ruined by a friendly hand shake, or from using the toilet articles of
one infected with, the poison. To cure this blighting, deadly curse the
SSS
first begins to expel the poison and build up and strengthen the system.
S. S. S. is guaranteed purely vegetable. We offer a reward of $r,ooo for
proof that it contains a particle of mineral of any kind. Book on the dis
