'Egyptology ver sus health." was the title of a mono graph received at the headquarters of the tuberculosis institute of Chicago yesterday in which it was alleged that the great spread of tuberculosis and in America in the last 100 years found its cause in the disinterment and shipment broadcast over the land of the mummies which had reposed so long in the tombs of the Pharaoahs. The monograph was written by Dr. Rafaelle Sorgnac one of the lactureri at the Sorbonne in Paris, who was an interested visitor at the recent Tuber culosis exhibit in this city. That the disinterred mummies start ed the spread of the tuberculosis germs in Egypt cannot be' doubted," says Dr. Sorgnac in his monograph. "There are more tutercolosis germs in the almost impalpable dust around a mummy than in many cuspidors of effluvia. "These germs live for thousands of years, as has easily been proven, and the exhumation of the bodies even the well preserved ones, caused an epidemic of coii-umption among the workmen and scholars who first exhumed the bodies. It is also well known that the keepers of the mummy cases have been subject to the disease. "The start of tuberculosis in France in a serious sense may be traced to the great importation of mummies and mummy cases at the time of the Na poleonic invasion of Egypt and this fstart gave the disease its first great foothold in Europe, whence it has spread all over the western world. Dead bodies may not secrete the germs, but dead bodies are undoubtedly a favorite lodg ing place for the tubercular bacilli. "The barilla from the mummies are undoubtedly of great age and it has been shown by experiments in Paris that these agent bacilli are infinitelv nore deadly than those obtained from the sputum of live persons who are in- Real Significance of Result of Trust Suit Set Forth. NEW YORK. May 12.-Jame M. Dieck of this city, who, with Frank B. Kellogg of St. Paul, represented the government as special counsel in the case brought by the attorney -general against the General Paper Company last night said: "Yesterday's decision is gratifying to the government's counsel, but was clear ly foreshadowed by the deci.-ion of the Supreme Court in passing upon tie re fusal of the General Paper Company to show its books and papers. That deeis ion indicated that if the facts were as the counsel for the government said they were the testimony was relevant and would support a decree. "The real significance of this case consists not merely in the important de- I cision rendered by the Supreme Court as to the power of the government to compel a corporation to produce its books and papers, notwithstanding the fifth and fourteenth amendments but in the fact that it was held to be within the provision of the Sherman anti-trust law for a number of competing corpora tions to establish a common sale agency. "In this case some twentyeight cor porations, which were manufacturing paper formed a corporation called the General Paper Company and practically sold all of their product through the General Paper Company to the trade. The General Paper Company fixed the prices made the allotments among the mills and after deducting a percentage for its expenses, remitted the balance to .the constituent companies in proportion to their oiiput." feats of a century the wh.el tbst was a j.r w.t j,rom , ,,f wrleel feature of tlte Chicago World's Fair in j m, later leased the ground in North m.

OPTIMISTIC VIE! ESTABLISH OPEN SHOP. ClIICAliu May 12. -Plan for e-tah-li-hing the "open shop" in the iron manufacturing industry in Chicago will lie discussed today at a convention of the leading fuundryuieti of the country. The cause of the iron molder' strike, which is in progre here in this city, ha liecome the mot important point in tlte tight now being waged nationally by the National Founder' Association, It is expected more than fifty manufac turer will attend the meeting. The local employers also will be well repre sented. The latter will report that tftey have ls-n umtl-c to open their furn ace owing to a scarcity of non-union men and hope some method will lie tie- yi-cd by the association for remedying the condition. Sciatica Cured After Twtnty Taan of lorturt. For more than twenty years Mr. J. B. Mawey, of 3322 Clinton St, Minns- apolis, Minn., was tortured by sciatica. The pain and suffering which ho ondur ed during this time U beyond compre- nension. noibing gave him any perma nent relief until he used Chamberlain's Pain Balm. One application of that liniment relieved the pain and made sleep and rest possible, and lets than one bottle has effected a permanent cure. If troubled with sciatica or rheu matism why not try a 5-cent bottle of Pain Balm and see for vourself how quickly it relieves the pain. For salt by hrank Hart, and leading druggists.

Within the past few days it is said new ac counts have been opened at several of the commercial banks of San Francisco by men from the East who have deposit ed sums ranging from $10,00 upward. some of them are known by reputation to banking men -to be possessed of large wealth. Others are supposed to represent wealthy clients in eastern money centers. The evident purpose of these men, the bankers say, is to make investments of their funds in San Francisco. KEEP EXPORTS SECRET. MOXTEAL, May 12. Under a ruling from Ottawa, no further figures are ob tainable respecting exports from the port of Montreal. Strenuous objection is being made by the board of trade officers and later on there may be a revision of the ruling. The present trouble arises over the act that the cheese operat ors object to having their business made public and the government in obliging them has made a sweeping al teration in its mode of affairs, which prevents anything being given out. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. The recent fire on Astor street disclosed a state of affairs that is intolerable. Old mattresses, umbrellas, broken furniture, rags and combustible filth of all descrip- tions are thrown into the back vards of the houses. Such re- fuse makes good kindling for fires and furnishes food for flames, thereby endangering the lives and property of the people. This condition of affairs ob- tains, not only on Astor street, but also on Bond, Commercial and other streets; and after con- sultation with the Committee on Fire and Water, it has been de- cided to give public notice to all concerned, that all such premises- must be cleaned up within thirty days from date. At the expiration of that period, members of the Commit- tee on Fire and Water, together with the Chief of Police and Chief of the Fire Department, will make a tour of inspection, and all corporations, firms or individuals, failing to clean up will be prosecuted, in accordance with the ordinances of the city. .
