SOUTH AMERICANS
TO FOSTER TRADE
New Commercial Route with Di
rect Cable Service Will
Be Established
RECENT GROWTH AMAZES
Representatives at Trans-Mis
sissippi Session Tell of Co
operation Plans
(Special to The Herald)
SAN -NTONIO, Texas, Nov. 27.—
The annual session here of the Trans- ;
mlßSisalppi Commercial congress, With .
representatives trom the South Amort- j
can republics and Mexico has brought.
In surprising fashion, to public notice
the great development of the sister
continent. This session, being in tho
nature of a Pan-American congress:
and quasi official, since It was los- ]
tared by tho state department at i
Washington nnd the Pan-American I
union, will do much, it Is predicted, to j
strengthen relations between the two |
continents. It has become apparent ,
that South America Is being rapidly 1
Americanized. Tho Pan-American con- :
ference recently concluded at Buenos i
Ayres, followed by the convention here,
will tighten these bonds now la process
of formation.
At the Buenos Ayrcs meeting the
plan already in progress to establish
tlve ■ steamship lines giving regular
communication between ports .In the
United States and South American
ports on both the Atlantic; and the
Pacific coasts was indorsed. The
commercial congress has been fighting
for the pass." re of the Galllnger sub
vention bill for years. The action of
the Pan-American conference in agree
ing on definite plans to bring both
shores of South America in direct
communication with the United States
through an international agreement
will no doubt ajd in influencing the
congress of the United States to put
through this highly important meas
ure.
PLAN YEW TRADE ROI'TB
At Buenos Ayres, Lewis Nixon of
New York served as chairman of the
committee on ocean communication.
Henry A'lilte. former American am
bassador to Italy, also attended, and
Kurope was represented by Clemen
ceau, the former French premier, and
Senor Signor Enrico Ferric of the
Italian chamber of deputes. It Is p; o
posed to create a new trade route with
direct banking and cable service. A
common system of weights and meas
ures will be adopted to avoid loss of
time in handling freight, mall and
p;issenfrers. Though the plan, as out
line.l, of the Buenos Ayres convention
is broader than the definite fight of
the Transmississlppi Commercial con
gress,' the lines of mall and passenger
steamships desired by the commercial
interests of the United States, and pro
vided for in the aalllnaor bill, will not
confuse, but will be a part of the gen
eral plan.
At tho San Antonio meeting, when
representatives of the twenty-one
South and Centr-1 American republics
told of the riches, natural and other
wise of their respective countries,
there w^s considerable surprise, and
the statement was made that Ameri
;ire woefully Ignorant of the
southern half of the Western Heml
: phcre. Argentina, In several lines, Is
wealthier than the United States.
GREAT WEALTH OK HIO
Bl 111 is a larger republic than the
United States, and its chief city, Rio
do Janeiro, with a population of nearly
one million, is a city or great wealth
and luxury, a western Paris with
great boulevards and theaters, with
few In the United States more beauti
ful. Today American merchant ves
sels are rarely seen In Its harbor, the
most beautiful in the world, beautified
by the expenditure of forty odd mil
lions of dollars. One fifteenth of the
railroad mileage of the world, of forty
thousand miles, stretches across South
America. The first transcontinental
railroad, from Panama to the straits of
Magellan, has been half built in Chili
and Peru, and three-tenths of the dis
tant to bo traversed in Argentina. It
is BSBB miles in length, and by piercing
the Andes connects Buenos Ayres on
the east with Valparaiso on the west.
English and American capital are
strongly represented In the building
of this line.
It climbs to an altitude of 10,000 feet
where it crosses the continental divide.
Ite tunnel, 10,380 feet, or about two
miles in length, (ow permits winter
travel. Heretofore the journey was
made over the Andes in a caravan
which wound its difficult way over
mountain trails, closed by snow
throughout the winter season. Now the
journey is made across the continent
in a luxuriously appointed railroad
train in thirty hours and the passen
ger sees some of the finest mountain
scenery in the world.
An Internntional celebration at the
opening of the Panama canal, which
will bring closer the United States
markets to the Pacific and Asiatic
markets, and will stimulate, not only
"trade conditions between the northern
'find southern continents, but will
bring to fruition plans that will work
out, after the meeting of these two
pigtiific?ant Pan-American conventions,
was indorsed. At both' meetings the
comparatively near completion of the
liig ship ditch figured among the most
important topics and trade relations
were given a direction that will result
In a well defined policy upon the com
pletion of the canal.
BOY SHOOTS SELF; WALKS
THREE MILES TO HOSPITAL
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—"Without tell
ing his mol or that ho had wounded
hia shoulder with his new rifle, Alfred
Tessoir, 15, who lives in Petorsville, set
off on a three-mile tramp to Now
Rochelle hospital yesterday afternoon.
On the load he met his father.
"Where aro you going, Alfred " hia
father asked.
"Oh, to the village to got something
I need," answered the boy.
His father suspected nothing, and
Alfred went to the hospital, -where his
wound was dressed. He appeared at
the table in good time for supper.
Then his parents noticed that he could
not use his left arm, and their inquiries
brought out the story.
The boy had gone into the woods
near his home to hunt chipmunks. The
trigger of his rifle caught on a vine
and a bullet made a flesh wound in
his left shoulder. The boy bound up
the wound with his handkerchief, went
homo and loft his rifle and then sought
the hospital.

KNEEL IN ROADWAY TO
GET EAR OF EMPEROR
Peasants Adopt Mediaeval Plan
to Secure Redress
■ VIKNNA, Nov. 27.—A curious Scene
which might have come out of the
middle ages was witnessed by the Aus
trian emperor early one morning this
week when his majesty arrived at the
Kate of the Hofburg on his way from
Kchonbrum. Six peasants dressed in
picturesque Slav costume were kneel
ing in the roadway, holding their
hands upward In supplication. When
tin- carriage approached, one of them
endeavored to throw a petition into it.
The. men were arrested and proved to
be Austrian Serbs who had a CUTlou«
story to tell. They represented 50,000
pe&ianti living on the frontier of Croa
tia. dMcendad from the military col
oaistH who wero settled thero long ago
to form a barrier against Servian raids.
When In the '60s this so-called border
land m united with Croatia the in
habitants were promised tho owner
ship of the soil they had occupied on
a kind of feudal tenure on tho payment
of a number of installments. Theso
have been completed many years ago,
but the big landlords and the com
munal authorities nevertheless claimed
to retain the ownership of the land,
and a lengthy lawsuit followed.
In 190S the highest Hungarian court
derided in the peasants' favor, but the
peasants have been unable to get the
administrative authorities to carry out
the judgment. Consequently, they
sent at last the deputation to ask tor
an audience of the emperor, but as
this had not yet been granted they
adopted the primitive method already
described of calling his majesty's at
tention to their grievance. They have
been released with a warning, and tho
emperor has ordered the matter to be
Inquired Into.
MEXICO LURES BILLION
DOLLARS OF U. S. MONEY
Undeveloped Resources of South
ern Republic Attract Capital
from Many Sources
(Special to Th« Herald)
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Nov. 27.—
Statistics of the state department of
the republic of Mexico show that near
ly a billion dollars of American capi
tal alone is invested south of the Rio
Grande. To be exact, the American
investment represents $925,000,000.
The.se dollars, with other foreign cap
ital, are working an Industrial and
j commercial transformation that is not
confined to any particular locality or
state, but extends through the whole
length and breadth of the land of the
Aztecs.
In many big enterprises American,
German and British capital are working
side by side, and Mexican capital is
freely intermingled with American
money In the operation of mines, man
ufacturing plants, railroads and' other
kinds of projects which are doing so
much toward the development and
upbuilding of the country. The lib
eral policy of encouraging investment
of foreign capital which President Diaz
inaugurated with the beginning of his
administration of public affairs was
but little taken advantage of until a
demonstration of the stability of the
Diaz regime was given.
$20,000,000 BTKEI, PLANT
It was seen, when capital began to
wake up to opportunity, that the coun
try was teeming* with undeveloped
wealth. Its vast mineral riches had
been barely touched, its agricultural
possibilities were beyond any dreams
of conjecture, and other factors that
have turned the tide of wealth and
immigration toward Mexico are found
in its abundance of various kinds of
raw material which only awaited the
advent of manufacturing plants to.
supply the peoplo with practically all
of the needs and many of the luxuries
of life. In additioin. both the Pacific
and Atlantic coast lines possess a
number of natural harbors, which
could easily b« converted into groat
I marts of import and export traffic.
American capital is invested in the
• $20,000,000 iron and steel plant at Mon
terey, in coal mines, In sugar factories,
in flour mills, in breweries, in oil, and
Americans havo taken the lead in the
development of the guayule rubber
industry and the exploitation of the
fiber plants, such as henequen and
zapup \ Americans run for the gov
ernment its railways. American stores
are common sights In every city. There
is a great army of American em
ployes in Mexico. American investors
in (some of the cities own the jublic
utility plants and systems. American
contractors have constructed many of
the larger buildings and find Mexico
a profitable field, putting up in the
larges cities modern steel frame struc
tures,-which have taken tho place of
the ancient adobe type of buildings.
GUATEMALA WILL SEND

President Cabrera Asks Directors
of Exposition to Furnish

(Special to The Herald)
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 27.—San Diego's
Panama-California exposition has re
ceived its first assurance of aid from
foreign governments. Guatemala has
officially replied to a letter from Di
rector-General D. C. Collier, addressed
to President Cabrera. Through Senor
Joaquin Mendez, secretary of agricul
ture and industries, president Cabrera
assures tho exposition directors that
Guatemala will send an exhibit to San
Diego during the year 1935, and asks
for plans of the exposition grounds and
also wants to know how much space
Guatemala can have.
These questions aro difficult to an
swer at the present time, because
Landscape Architect John C. Olmsted
is now working out the details of the
landscape features of Balboa park, in
San Dit'Ko, where the exposition is to
be held, and until thia task is complet
ed space cannot be allotted.
M.*NT COUNTRIES WAM SPACE
The letter indicates that Guatemala
will have a splendid exhibit at the
exposition. Other Central American
and South American" countries are cor
responding with Director-General Col

MISSOURI HEN IS
WEALTH PRODUCER
Show-Me State's Red Book
Claims Title "Poultry Queen
of the Union"
WHISKY LEADS WET GOODS
1909 Products Total $342,542,
--903, an Increase of $28,000,
--000 Over Previous Year
JEFFERSON CITY, Nov. 27.—Like
the revenues of an empire are the
figures in thft new 1910 Red Book for
Missouri's surplus products for 190 J.
The enormous toUi of $342,542,903, an
increase of almost 128,000,000 over the
previous year's production. Includes
only such commodities as were dur
ing the twelve months considered
hauled, driven afoot or shipped to mar
ket from the 114 counties of Missouri.
Aftor a year of hard work Labor
Commissioner J. C. A. Jllller and
Supervising Statistician A. T. Edmon-
Iton of the bureau of labor statistics
have made public some interesting
facts and figures on the wealth and
high standing of Missouri, "the poultry
queen of the Union," a title which
will cling for years to come. All is
set forth In an up-to-date and enter
taining fashion in the 1910 report of
that department, which publication is
now bo generally and widely known as
tho "Rod Book."
MILLIONS IN LIVESTOCK
The largest one item in Missouri's
1909 vast array of wealth is that for
livestock, which amounted to $136,250,
--858, as Missouri is one of the leading
livestock producers in the Union. Dur
ing six years the state has raised a
surplus of livestock to the tune of
37,926,373 head.
Contrary to expectations, more cat
tle, hogs, horses, mules, sheep and
goats went to market from Missouri
counties than in the preceding year.
Thd high prices such commodities
were obtaining tempted farmers to
sell as many animals as they could
spare.
The second largest item on the list
is that of farmyard products, rated at
$45,902,655, and showing the Missouri
hen to bo worthy of her fame, spread
fur and near, as an unrivaled wealth
producer.
The surplus eggs for the year num
bered 148,730,049 dozens, and the sur
plus poultry, live and dressed, had a
total weight of 210,304,192 pounds.
The values of the two commodities
were almost neck and neck for the
season, and each practically reached
the $23,000,000 mark.
FACTS AVD FIGURES
Next to the farmyard products In
value during the year of 1909 comes
the classification of farm crops, which
amounted to $38,462,756, and Included
all the field crops, such as corn,
wheat, oats, hay, flax, rye, cotton,
tobacco etc
Fourth in value come the mine and
quarry products, reaching a total valu
ation of $31,367,174, followed by the
forest products, worth $23,841,357.
Other classifications in the list of
surplus wealth are: Mill products,
apiary and cane; dairy (worth $14,570,
--936); Missouri corncob; nursery, liquid,
fish and game, packing house, cotton,
medicinal, vegetable and canned goods,
fresh fruit, wool and mohair, stone
and clay and miscellaneous.
The figures for the poultry depart
ment, of wide interest because this Is
a product found on every farm, show
an enormous growth for the surplus
during the last nine years. In 1900 the
surplus was rated at $12,843,022, while
for 1909 the figures are nearly quad
rupled, with the total of $45,902,655. The
year's feathers, in a quantity of 1,695,
--588 pounds, brought $678,235.
Surplus honey amounted to 364,919
pounds, worth $47,439, and 14,774 pounds
of beeswax brought $4432 more. Then
thero were 364,163 gallons of sorghum
molasses, valued at $109,249; 1051
pounds of maple sugar and 1785 gallons
of maple syrup swelled the total of
sweet products by $1019.
COBNCOB PIPE OUTPUT
The almost half a million dollars
contributed by Missouri corncob pipe
products, with their valuation of $448,
--454, was distributed over 27,733,260 corn
cob pipes, 1,831,484 extra stems, 454,235
wooden pipes and 152,784 pipe cleaners.
The "surplus liquid products," as
classified in the Red Book, include
wine, vinegar, cider, natural mineral
water, whisky, wood alcohol, brandy
and cordials, with a total valuation of
$1,904,194.
The largest single item is whisky,
which was shipped out of counties to
the extent of 564,047 gallons, worth
$1,269,105. Of wine there was 599,685
gallons, valued at $269,858. Brandy was
a surplus only to the amount of 33,
--19 a gallons, worth $74,687.
There were 4,130,559 pounds of sur
plus game, worth $289,139, and of fish
7,139,592 pounds, valued at $270,17. Some
persons will be surprised to learn that
the year's product of furs amounted to
521,025 pounds, and having a value of
$104,205.
Other items which help to make up
tho total under the class of fish and
game products of $716,003 are: Turtles,
frogs, terrapins (9722 pounds of this
delicacy), crawfish, shells, skins and
miscellaneous.
Among the unclassified products,
credited with a total value of $5,273,
--531, are: Pearl buttons and blanks,
coke (gas), junk ice, anhydrous am
monia, coal tar, other pas tar. powder
and dynamite, acetate of lime, linseed
oil and linseed meal.
One of the features of the lied Book
is a folding map in black and green,
which gives the county outlines, rivers
and streams, railroads, cities, towns
and village. It advertises Missouri as
the "booster state" of the Union be
cause its inhabitants are all state
boosters.
ITALY'S LIST OF PELLAGRA
VICTIMS IS DECREASING
ROME, Nov. Among- the ques
tions to be asked of parliament one
is announced addressed to the min
ister of the interior by Prince Teano,
deputy for one of the Rome constit
uencies, asking whether the attention
of the government has been given to
the recent discovery by an English
commission of the cause of pellagra
and what measures will be taken in
consequence. ' . :•_
The discovery is, as Prince Teano
remarks, of great importance both to
the health and the agricultural in
terests of the country. According to
the last statistics the number of peo
ple affected in Italy by the disease
has been considerably diminished
since 1899, but the figures for 1905
still show that more than 60,000 peas
ants suffered from pellagra that year
and that it was the cause of 2307
I deaths;
ENGLAND MAY SUPERVISE
WOMAN DOCTORS IN INDIA
Lady Hardinge- New Vicerine, In
terested in Novel Movement
LONDON, Nov. 27.—The recently
noted fact that this year tho number
of girl students for medical degrees
constitutes a record Is not without its
bearing upon a remarkable movement
in which Lady Harding, the new
vicrrine of India, is understood' to take
a. cl"op interest. This is the proposal
to establish a new government service
for lady doctors In India.
Up to the present the Important
work of lady doctors among tho mil
lions of native Indian women, who will
die rather than bo attended by a man,
has been carried on under what is
known M the Pufferin fund. This—
owing partly to its local methods of
organization—has been found to ad
mit gravn abuses. At present, apart
from Lady Minto, thero is not a wom
an In the central council. In some
oasea poorly qualified women have been
appointed to responsible posts, and
with local control predominant there
is not a wide enough prospect to at
tract the best lady doctors where they
are most needed.
Accordingly, in a few days, an influ
ential deputation is to wait upon Lord
Morley with a view to tho creation of
a women's Indian mfrllral service, un
der tho immediate authority of the gov
ernment, to be entered by open com
petitive examination, and to Insure a
pension after a certain number nf
yean. One women's hospital in India
—the Carna hospital, Bombay—baa been
for some years under a sort of special
government supervision, with the re
sult that it has been a long way tho
most successful hospital of its kind
In tho country.
Even now about two-thirds of the
lady doctors in India are natives
many of them extremely clever and
highly qualified—and it is intended ,
that the study of medicine among the |
native women shall be encouraged in j
every possible way. On the other hand, |
(here is no diminution in the demand
for English lady doctors—especially to
supervise and Inspect—and under the
new nuspices a great and useful career
should be open to properly trained
English women.
It is probable that before she leaves
England Lady Hardinge will make a
tour of the principal London hospitals
to gather ideas for what should be a
memorable feature of her five year's
presidency.
POSTOFFICE INSPECTORS
DISCOVER NEW SWINDLE
Letter Writer Plans Fleecing the
Relatives of Dead
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—A brand new
swindle was discovered yesterday
when Inspector M. H. Boyle of the
postofflce department made a near
raid on the office of Henry H. Keane
at 25 East Fourteenth street. Keane
had planned a get-rich-quick scheme,
but fled Just as the golden harvest
began pouring in. Over 200 letters,
each supposed to contain $10, were
seized.
The man rented the office on the sec
ond floor about three weeks ago. He
then went through the columns of a
large number of out-of-town news
papers and read the obituary notices.
Next the following letter was sent,
addressed to the dead man:
Dear Sir—You are aware, no
doubt, that the final payment of
$10 on the diamond ring you pur
chased from me is now in arrears.
I would be pleased to have you re
mit the remaining installment and
I will forward you your ring. The
payment is now several months
overdue, according to our agree
ment, but I will agree to extend
the time ten days from date. If
the ring is not paid for by that
time I will have to close your ac
ciunt and place the ring back in
stock. I have your ring ready for
shipment and will forward it im
mediately on receipt of your re
mittance. Yours truly,
H. H. KEANE.
The relatives of the dead man In
most cases saw a chance to get a fine
ring by paying only $10 and many re
plies were received. Keane became
aware that the inspectors were shad
owing the place and refused to call
for his mall. The inspectors waited a
week, then seized the mail and turned
It over to the dead letter office.
TEXAS BOARD OF HEALTH
CITES CAUSES OF DEATH
Liver Behaves Better Than Any
Other Human Organ
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Nov. 27.—The
Texas state board of health has issued
a remarkable and interesting bulletin
addressed to "all interested in death."
Under the title, "What are you most
apt to die from?" it says: "That dread
scourge, tuberculosis, spares the infant,
except in the second half of the third
year, when there is a startling death
rate ainonur children from this disease.
It is between twenty and thirty years
that tuberculosis reaps the bulk of its
grim and awful harvest. After thirty
years the probability of death from this
disease decreases rapidly and in pro
portion until the fifty-year mark Is
past.
"But just before the immunity from
tuberculosis is about to end, say at
45 years, the terrible scourge, cancer,
begins to cut the threads of human
life. Beginning shortly before 50 years,
cancer springs into the first place as
the death cause. Before 45 cancer is
almost unknown as a general cause of
mortality.
"Pneumonia kills mostly before fif
teen years of age, then it lets mankind
largely alone until fifty years is past,
when it again figures high in the death
list. It is a cowardly, skulking enemy,
and kills off the old folk and the chil
dren. Cerebral apoplexy, or what old
fashioned used to call a 'stroke,' kills
few before the ago of sixty, while ty
phoid kills usually between ten and
twenty years.
"The heart and kidneys seldom cause
a fatal disease until after fifty, and
then tho heart usually is affected only
from some other disease, such as rheu
matism or pneumonia.
"What is commonly called tho larg
est organ of the body, namely, the
liver, also has the best records for hon
ost and faithful service. The death
of men and women from direct liver
disease are comparatively voi'y rare.
Also it is seldom affected until the
meridian of life is well past."

NEWS OF THE MINES AND OIL FIELDS
CROSSCUT DRIVEN AT
A.-C. COPPER CO. MINE
Management of Arizona Properly
to Devote Energy to Stoping
Out the Ore
GLOBE, Nov. 27.—At the property of
tho Arizona-Colorado Cupper Belt and j
Gold Mining and Milling company, lo
cated about three and one-half miles
northeaat of Globe, General Manager
John V, Shaw Is giving his personal
supervision to operations and Is making
rapid progress. A force of about twelve
men is employed.
The driving of a crosscut southward
on the 200-foot level of the main vertical
shaft has been discontinued at a dfs
tance of about thirty feut from tho
■haft. Apparently tho dip of the vein
Which was being sought has been
changed by Homo movement of tho
itrata below the 186-foot mark so that
its distance from the shaft on thu
■econd level is somewhat greater than
was first estimated. Consequently,
tho management has decided that it
is now advisable to spend more time
looking lor the leaJ at this time, when
it Is desired that the stoping. on the
(.'iglith luvel be hastened as much as
possible with a view to beginning
shipments of ore at an early date.
The stope from which the ore is
I being taken on the eighth level is now
j cutting tho rock out nine ieei in Width
and the average copper contents re- i
i main at about 4 per cent as has been
the case in the past. A creditable ,
quantity of ground is being broken
down each day, but much of the mate
rial is not removed from the mine, but j
is used as filling and can be diawn!
off and hoisted at any future time
when the management considers it
necessary. From fifteen to twenty
tons of ore is being broken daily and
the stock pile north of the shaft i.s
growing in size steadily. Tho copper j
occurs for the most part in the form'
of chalcopyrite. Should the vein on
the eighth level continue to widen as
it has been doing for the past few
weeks, the company should be enabled
to realize a substantial profit from
this newly developed oro body. All
attention Is being confined to the stope
on the eighth level and until this part
of the mine is extensively developed,
no further operations will be under
taken. About 10,000 gallons of water i
are bailed from the workings each day.
PRINCESS IN BLUE SHALE
The Princess Oil company, adjoining
the property of the Santa Maria Mid
way, is down 600 feet in blue shale.
This is shallow for a shale formation
in the Santa "Maria field, and it looks
promising. The geologists and oil ex
perts all agree that this part of the
field will produce oil at a less depth
than it is found farther south.
WANTS DRY WASHER
TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 27.—Owing to
a difficulty not previously encountered,
operations are said to be somewhat
curtailed just at present in the Qui
jotoa district, pending the finding of
a suitable dry washer which will do
the work of separating the values
more satisfactorily than the old an
