WASHINGTON'. Dec 2. (Special.
Shipping- Interests of the west coast
of South America are studying now
they mar best handle the Increased
traffic when tne Panama Canal la
opened, according: to reports today to
the Bureau of foreign and Domestic
Commerce.
The manairer of the Pacific Steam
Navigation Company has sent a com
munication to the president or cnue
outlining what his company proposes
to do on the opening of the canal,
which covers four different lines be
tween Valparaiso and Liverpool, Liver
pool to Valparaiso via the Straits of
Magellan, returning- via Panama; uv
rroool to Valparaiso via New York
and Panama and New York; Liverpool
to Valparaiso via New York and Pan
ama, and thence by tne fc traits oi .Ma
gellan to England: and a line from
Liverpool to Valparaiso and other
Chilean ports to return by the same
route.
Chi lea a Flair Embraced.
This company proposes to put its
best steamers under the Chilean flag
for the Panama-New York service if
the Chilean government so desires.
The Compania Sud Americana de
Vapores (Chilean) is reported to have
made Chile a proposition that It will
put on a line of SOOO-ton steamers be
tween Valparaiso and European ports
via Panama and New York on a guar
antee of S per cent on the Investment.
This la now under discussion by the
Chilean Congress, with seemingly fair
prospects of passing.
The Compania Peruant de Vapores y
IXque del Callao has Inaugurated a
Valparaiso to Panama service. The
first steamer - was scheduled to sail
from Valparaiso, today direct to the
Isthmus In 12 days. This company has
a fleet of seven new'15-knot passenger
and freight steamers of 4000 tons each.
Valparaiso to Improve Port.
The Merchants Line, which plys be
tween New York and the West Coast,
via the Straits of Magellan, is con
structing several large new steamers
for its freight and passenger line be
tween Valparaiso and New York via
Panama that Is to be - Inaugurated
shortly after the canal opens.
The Kosmos line Is adding new
steamers of 10.000 tons to Its service
between Hamburg and the Pacific ports
of South America and the United States
via the Straits of Magellan.
Valparaiso is destined to become an
Important shipping center, say the re

seems to appreciate fully, for work Is
soon to be begun on port Improvements
there, to cost about $13,000,000.
PENSIONERS PAY PENSION
Swedes Plan to Compel Preparation
for Old Age.
STOCKHOLM, DecT 21. (Special.)
Sweden Is to have a contributory sys
tem of old-age pensions, the future pen
sioners paying two-fifths, the state
two-fifths and the local authorities one
tifth of the total cost. The pension Is
to become due at the age of 67 In any
case, or earlier In the event of dis
ablement by illness or otherwise; the
rate of payment Is to vary according to
earnings, and additional voluntary pay
ments may be made to secure an event,
ual Increase of benefit. The state con
tribution and that of the locality are
to profit only the poorer pensioners, the
payments out of them being reduced
by SO per cent of any private Income
possessed by the pensioner, so that
their value soon becomes a negative
quantity.
Contribution to be compulsory on all
persons whose annual Income Is under
6000 kronen, or about $1(50, and It Is es
timated that even when the system is in
full working some 600.000 Inhabitants
out of more than 6,500,000 will be re
ceiving pensions paid for by their own
Insurance money, while 260.000 will get
the additional allowance paid by the
state.
This Is an outline of the scheme de
vised by a commission appointed to ex
amine the subject in 1907. It remains
for the Ministry and the Rlgsdag to
carry It out
"BUG" KILLS BLOOD POISON
Dr. Fortlnean Seems to Have Dis
covered Specif ic Cure.'
PARIS. Dec 21. (Special.) Dr. For
tineau. of Nantes, seems to have dis
covered a speciflc cure for blood poi
soning by inoculating with a microbe
of another sort which destroys the
"charbon" bacillus. The microbe, called
'pyocynic bacillus," Is Itself normally
extremely virulent. But by a series of
cultures only the necessary quantities
are retained in the serum (which UT.
Korttneau calls "pyocyanine"). which
quickly kills the blood poison bacilli.
The first experiments were made on
animals, and every one treated in time
recovered, while those untreated died.
Trials were then made in human cases
recognized by other doctors as blood
poisoned, and generally in the course
of two days the initial pustule and
oedema disappeared. Dr. Fortineau him
self considers that further experiments
are necessary, but details published by
him appear sufficiently conclusive to
allow of the belief that science has
!een enriched by a notable discovery
toward fighting a disease so fatal to
those engaged In leather Industries.

traveling entirely alone on part
of the trip, is the unusual feat
accomplished by Mrs. Hannah

Albany.
Despite her age Mrs. Miller
stood the trip as well as anyone

from Rochester traveled with
Mrs. Miller from their home city

Sterling: Debenture Company Offi
cials Declared to Have Made
Million a Tear.
NEW YORK. Dec 20. On a Federal
Indictment charging fraudulent use of
the mails in promoting stock for a
mill where linen was supposed to be
made in a day, six men were arrested
today in a raid conducted by postoffice
inspectors at the offices of the Ster
ling Debenture Company here.
The authorities estimate that the
yearly Income of the promoters In this
and other ventures has been more than
1 1.000,000 and that nearly $10,000,000
of the public's money has been paid
over to them since they began doing
business.
Investors in many parts of the coun
try are named in the indictment as
complaining witnesses and the alleged
unlawful conspiracy specified extended
over a period of 19 months, ending De
cember 31, 1909. Government authori
ties here have been investigating com
plaints against the defendants for six
years, they say.
The men arrested are: Frank W.
Shumaker, ex-president of the Sterling
Debenture Company, and Harry H.
Piatt, Samuel E. Flndlay, Edwin A.
Barron. Wilbur M. Stone and Sidney
Rosenbaum. They were held in bail
aggregating $32,500. Three other men
are named in the indictment One of
them has been arrested in Chicago.
The others are believed to be in Brook
field. Mass.
According to the indictment Inves
tors were induced to send money to
the Sterling Debenture Company for
the purchase of stock in the Oxford
Linen Mills, a Maine corporation, un
der the alleged fraudulent representa
tion that the Oxford mills owned ex
clusively patent and secret processes
that would manufacture linen from
Amorican-grown flax at one-third the
cost of .foreign linen and In quicker
time.
Accordinr to the postal authorities,
the Oxford Linen Vlls are not con
nected with, the Sterling. Debenture
Company, having broken away from
that concern.

APPEAL IS MADE TO WOMEN
Antl-AIcoholism League In France
Seeks to Secure Their Aid.
PARIS, Deo. 21. (Special.) An earn
est appeal has been addressed by the
French "League Against Alcoholism" to
the-women of France to petition the
Chambers to limit the number of places
licensed for the sale of intoxicants, and
so to impose some check on the liquor
traffic.
At present there Is one such house
for every 82 persons, on the average;
how they can all survive would be un
intelligible, were It not that many of
them are also general shops. A law
somewhat reducing their number has
passed the Senate, but was indefinitely
adjourned by the Chamber last Febru
ary by 360 votes to 156, though the
Academy of Medicine emphatically de
clared itself in favor of limitations
nine years ago. But, according to the
league, there are some 400,000 tied
houses, in debt to a great distillery
trust.
Whether the women, who bear the
chief burden of the resultant drunken
ness, will produce any4 effect by their
petitions may be doubted; more may be
expected from the new commission on
depopulation and from the abolition of
single member constituencies. in which

PUBLIC IS FLIM-FLAMMED
This Time It Is Enslish Postoffice
Attaches Who Are Blamed.
LONDON, Dec " 21. (Special.) The
postoffices are accused of working a
flim-flam game on the British public.
Judging from a private test made by
an Express representative, the postof
fice officials are serving out short
weight with a sweeping disregard for
all the laws of elementary Justice.
If a struggling grocer were caught
at the game which the Postmaster
General is presumably practicing on
thousands of counters, he would be
mulcted In a fine that would push him
headlong into the bankruptcy court.
The attention of the Express was
called to the matter by J. A. Simpson,
of 8 Northdown road, Cliftonville, Mar
gate, who wrote as follows:

ZIEGFELDS J0 REMARRY
Anna Held's Husband Promises to
Be Good.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20. (Special.)
Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr., announced at the
Moulin Rouge tonight that he and
Anna Held, after a separation of 18
months, had decided to make up. He
told the assembled reporters he had
decided to be good and Anna had
promised to take him at his word and
come home and begin all over again.
Mr. Ziegfeld then said that a cable
from Anna Held, who at present Is In
Biarritz, in the south of France, had
been received by him today to the el
fect that if he wanted a reconciliation
she was willing to give him another
chance. The cable was in response to
an urgent message sent to her by Zieg
feld earlier in the week asking wnat
her intentions were regarding a final
decree of divorce, which she has been
seeking in New York courts and which
will be granted this month.
Mr. Ziegfeld said: "According to
present plans, we shall permit the di
vorce proceedings to continue and Miss
Held will secure a final decree In this
city on December 26. Then we are go
ing to remarry and begin all over
again and are going to begin right,
too" ,
It is probable that Anna Held will
leave France at once and arrive in
New York about the first of next year.
She wants Mr. Ziegfeld to go to Paris
an daccompany her back to this coun
try, but his business plans will pre
vent him from leaving New York at
this time, he said tonight
