CANCER CONTAGIOUS DISEASE.
Evidence That Germs Remain In Walls
for Many Years.
Parla, Oct. 7. Are certain houses in
foctod with cancer? Aro rooms Inhab
ited by cancer patients llablo to convey
tho disease years after the patient la
dcad7 According to the researches of
some doctors, the results of which have
Jutt been published, these questions
must be answered In Uie affirmative.
The strange coincidence bad often been
observed and pointed out by practition
ers, even to far back as 20 and 30 years
ago. A patient would dlo of cancer in
a certain house. A year afterwards, or
even longer, other persons corns to live
In the same house, and suddenly tome
member of the family It afflicted with
Uie terrible dUcato. For years and
years the same phenomenon recurs.
One family removes after one or more
of lit members has tuocurobod to the
Illness, others succeed them, and be
come in turn victims of the same fatal
affection The observations have been
so freqnont that Uie sanitary authori
ties In Paris have decided to study the
matter thoroughly. A census has been
taken of all Uio houses where cancer
patients died during Uie last six months
of tho year 1000, and a careful watch
will be kept over these bouses. The
list comprises 1,002 rases, and out of
these It lias already been observed that
in 12 houses two successive cases oc
cur red. not counting five old ago asy
lums, where 20 deaths occurred from
Uio tamo disease.
MORE JAPANESE THAN EVER.
President's Proclamation Doss Not
Have Desired Effect.
Washington, Oct. 7. Tho proclama
tion of Uie president, Issued March 14.
1007, hat not operated to retard the
Immigration of Japanese into Uie
United States, as was expected. On
Uie contrary, tho Influx of Japanese has
been greater since tho Issuance of Uie
proclamation than beforo. The annual
report of Commissioner uoneral bar-
gent, of tho bureau of Immigration,
will show that during the fiscal year
ended Juno 30, 1007, 30,824 Japanese
entered tho United States, and of that
total 10,091 camn in during March,
April, May and June. This thows that
tho Influx haa been greater since tho
proclamation than before.
Tho president's proclamation was not
Intended to bo a liar to all Japanese.
but only those of the laboring classes
tho coolies. Yet It is not reasonable to
suppose that all the Japaneso who came
into the united utatea since Aiarcn n
have been of tho educated classes; thoeo
prepared to encage in some profession.
Tho Investigations of the bureau of Im
migration show that fully 50 percent
of those coming her have taken up
somo manual occupation.
In audition to the Japanese shown
on tho returns of Uie Immigration bu
reau, it la supposed that not a fow
gained unlawful access to this country
through Moxlco and Canada, but this
number will bo reduced if Canada en
forces lta law prohibiting Uie admission
Into that country of Japanese who do
not bear passports.
Send Poor Hindus Back.
Vancouver. 11. 0.. Oct. 7. It is pos
sible that a large majority of tho 600
Hindus who will arrive from the Url-

will bo Immediately deported. They
will if they have no more money to
thow than those who arrived a month
ago. Dr. Munro, Immigration health
Inspector, today rccolved tpeoial In
structions from Ottawa that it any of
tho new arrivals woro likely to become
charges on tho publlo they should be
deported at once. Dr. Munro declares
Uiat he Interprets thla liberally.

JURORS WERE FIXED
Serious Cbargi In fird Trial af
Saa Fraiclsci.
SPECIAL JURY TO INVESTIGATE
Dstactlvs Burns Says Honest Jury
Will Convict Ford and Sen
sation It Premised.
San Francisco, Oct. 8 The grand
Jury will meet today to Investigate the
charges that have been freely made that
Improper Influences were used upon
certain members of tbe Jury that tried
Tirey L. Ford. It Is hinted that a se&
sstlon will be sprung before the matter
Is dropped. Special Agent Burns re
fused to make any specific charges to
day, bnt said:
"Ford will be found guilty by aa
honest Jury.'
Earl Rogers, chief of counsel defend
ing Ford, camo back with a charge that
Uie prosecution had made efforts to get
friends on Uie Jury. Mr. Rogers cornea
from Uie southern part of the state,
where ho Is known as "Uie fighUng at
torney of Los Angeles." Mr. Burns
saya ho will call Uie bluff and will give
Mr. Rogers a chance to go before Uio
grand Jury
Francis J. Heney Is out of tbe city,
on an automobile trip. He will retBra
In time to conduct tbe investigation be
foro the grand Jury. He la absolutely
unmoved by the failure of Uie Ford Jury
to aeree and will place Ford on trial
again next Monday. After the trial of
Ford tbe prosecution will turnout atten
tion to Patrick Calhoun.
The Jurors in the Ford case who stood
for acquittal have stated In interviews
Uiat the failure of the prosecution to
call Abe Ruef to the stand Inflaeoena
them more than anything else In their
decision. Tbe failure of tbe prosecu
tion to call Ruef to the ttand has com
pletely mystified Uie defease. Ford's
sttorneys will therefore be as ratten la
the dark at to the plans of the proseoa
tion in Uie next trlalaa they were la
tbe last.
The expanation given tbe widest ere
deoco for Uie failure of Mr. Heney to
call Ruef to Uio stand it that Uie pros'
ecutorabada "tip" that the Jury bad
been tampered with, and did not desire
to reveal any more evidence tt thla
trial than was necessary to prevent aa
acquittal.
