BEARDS ARE UNDER BAN Towa Medical Men "Must Go Clean Shaven State Health Board Is- sues Orders Against Facial Hair. —_—— Hirsute Adornménts Said to Be Responsible for Spread of Disease Epecial Dispatch to The Cail. NEW YORK, May 21.—Dr. J. F. Ken- nedy, secretary of the JIowa . State Board of Health and disseminator of the now famous slogan “Whiskers must go,” is here for a visit with rela- tives. . The Iowa State Board of Health has sent forth its ukase against hair on the face—at least so far as the medical profession is concerned, The conserv- ators of public health have taken this step because they look upon whiskers as the natural abode of all kinds of disease-breeding germs. Dr. Kennedy is leading the crusade agajnst Whiskers. He also is opposed to long skirts worn by women. He says they help to spread disease- breeding germs. “For many years I have studied con- tagious and infeetious diseases,” said Dr. Kennedy to-day. - “I concludii that in many instinces physicians them- selves were responsible for spreading disease germs. They did not take pro- per precautions. “I observed thaz - Biven (o wearimg Heards. to be one of the distinctive marks of | the profession. In the dissemination of germs, the beard worn by a physi- cian is much to be blamed. To disin- fect a beard properly would require the application of.a powerful germicide— something so strong as to strangie th2 owner of the beard if he did the work thoroughly. I believe -that the only sure way of preventing physicians from disseminating disease germs is to get them to cut off their beards. “According to the best authorities. the long skirts of women sweep up mil- lions of germs in the streets and de- posit them in the homes. For the sake | of posterity it would ‘be well to cut the skirts to such length as would pre- vent them from sweeping the streets.” MURDER ENDS CHILD'S WORK A KIDNAPER Crime Is Suggested to Girl by Stage Drama. Special Dispatch to The Call TORONTO, Ont., May 21.—The play “Ki From New York,” produced at a local theater last week, suggested to ll-year-old Josephine Carr the idea of kidnaping, and on Friday afternoon -{m decided to make a practical test of it. Her motive, she says, was the-hope of a reward, but, unfortunately, the end was murder. Josephine came down town on Friday afternoon, and knowing that a small lane next door to an apartment store was a favorite resort for babies, left outside while their mothers shopped within, she awaited her opportunity. As%oon as Mrs. Murray had left her nine months’ old baby boy alone in its go-cart Josephine kidnaped the child, cart and all. Taking a car, she rode almost to her home. Suddenly, she says, she realized as night came on that she had a helpless infant on her bands, and not knowing ninety-foot railway embankment near her home. Some time afterward, prob- ably next morning, she went to the bot- tom of the.ravine. There she stripped the bruised and dead form of its clothing and, accompanied by her curly-headed, S-year-old brother, hid the clothing in another ravine a mile distant. She then hid the body under a culvert. That forenoon she raised an alarm that | she had found a go-cart and a dead baby in a ravine, and as a result of the inves- tigation that followed, she was placed under arrest and subsequently confessed. The dead baby was the onmly child of Scotch parents who arrived here two months ago. From the time Mrs. Murray missed her baby after leaving the shop until it was found yesterday the entire police force and hundreds of private citi- zens. joined in the search for it. The alleged murderess is a motherless girl upon whose frail shoulders the care of two small children has been thrown. broke out at Alcazar de San Juan, in ce of Cuidad Real, to-day, ~several flour what to do with it she rolled it down a | —————— Riot in Spain.

BROWN MEN ARE BESIEGING THE MILITI Japanese Hold Ha- wailan Guards Captive, White Population of La | Haina Takes Refuge in Courthouse. \ Reinforcements of Troops and Police Hurried From Hon- olulu to Maui Island. HONOLULU, May 2L—Most of the whbite population at La Haina, on the island of Mauli, including the militia, are prisomers in the courthouse, sur- rounded by striking Japanese laborers. One Japanese was killed and two were ‘wounded by the plantation police dur- ing an attack on a plantation mill The entire 2300 Japanese laborers on the island are now on strike and are in a violent mood. The steamship Kinau left Honolulu this afternoon, taking National Guard Company F, consisting of thirty men, commanded by Captain Johnson, and forty Honolulu police, under High Sheriff Henry, to the scene of the trouble. Captain Parker of the Kinau expected to arrive at La Haina between 10 and 11 o'clock to-night. The strike started a week ago on the Wailuki plantation, beyond La Haina. The Japanese made a long list of de- mands, including the discharge of the head overseer. All of the demands were rejected. On Friday last the strike spread to the Pioneer plantation. The Pioneer immediately began _paying . ‘who- then to stone the mill'and to all efforts of the mounted policemen to drive them away. The Maui militia, which was called out, restored order temporarily. Every- thing was peaceful late on Saturday, when the island steamship Claudine left. Soon after the steamship’s departure a clash between the Japanese and the plantation police occurred, in which shooting took place and which resulted in a general outbreak and the impris- onment of the whites and the militia in the courthouse by the Jananese. Wireless messages were sent to Hon- olulu asking for aid. A tug also was sent, through fear that the wireless was not working. The secretary of the Japanese Consul accompanied the force on the steamship Kinau, with the view of pacifying the strikers. The entire remaining |police force of Honolulu is on duty at the police sta- tion to-night, under Deputy Sheriff Rawlings, although there are no signs of trouble on this island. ONE MILLION INMICRANTS YEAR'S TOTAL Problem to Be Called to the Attention of Congress. CHICAGO, May 2l—President Roose- velt has taken up the immigration ques- tion and is preparing to call it to the at- tention of Congress and the country, ac- cording to a Washington dispatch to the | Record-Herald from Walter Wellman, who says: | “The President believes that one of | the most serious problems now confront- | ing the American people is how to deal with the hordes of undesirable immi- grants Europe is pouring upon our shores.

In those | twelve months 1,000,000 steerage passen- gers will have arrived in the United | States looking for homes or work.

W. H. Moore, owner of the spaniel which caused all the trouble, and his brother, J. H. Moore, were traveling over the Rock Island on a special train. While the engineer was on water at Bethune. a small Station iz Sherman County, the spaniel escaped from the car and started toward the Nebraska Une. All hands were ordered in pursuit of the animal. Moore offering $50 reward to who- ever caught it. The canine had sprinted about two miles when it espied a prairie dog sitting on its haunches in front or a hole. The pup made a dash for the smaller animal, which waited until the spaniel was only a few feet away and then disappeared as if by magic into the hole. The spaniel stopped at the hole to see what had hap- pened to its small brother. This was a section employe's opportunity, and, grab- bing the animal in his hands, he returned {it to its ownmer. recefving his reward.
