THE TUBERCULOSIS CONGRESS-.
Prof. Schweinitz Believes Many Prac-
tical Results VIII Follow.


Prof. E. A. de Schweintz, who attended
Berlin as a delegate from the United
States, reports briefly 10 the Secretary of
State that the congress was held in the
reichstag building, and was attended by
the most prominent German physicians.
hygienists and psychologists, as well as
representatives of the leading men from
England, France, Russia, Italy, Denmark
Austria, Japan, Spain and other countries
The papers presented by the most prominent
men were very thorough and complete re-
views of our knowledge of tuberculosis
both from the scientific and practical stand
point.
The special object for which the congress
was called. namely, the purpose of arousing
interest in the erection of sanitoriums for
the tuberculosis poor, especially the work.
ing classes, will be greatly advanced. Ac-
cording to the present German laws, each
laborer and each employer of laborer is
required to pay very small tax, which is
utilized in taking care of the tuberculosis
pocr In this way quite a large fund has
been secured, and at the present time there
are fifty sanitoriums in the German en-
pire in which the poor and laboring classes
can be treated. In this way a double pur-
pose is served, namely, the improvement of
the health of the individual and at the
same time their education in sanitary mat
terS.
Prof dc Schweinitz thinks that many
practical results will follow the work of
this congress. DR.. Boyd of the United
States navy WIS the other delegate from
the United States, and most interesting
report is expected from him. The official
delegates from the United States were very
cordially received and entertained.
The president of the congress expressed
himself as particularly well pleased with
the interest taken in the congress by the
President of the United States, indicated
by a telegram sent to the congress by the
President and by the sending of two dis
tinpuiShed delegates.

THINK WOOD VILE RESIGN
q
Impression Of officials at the War Depart
ment.
Can Hope for Little Preferm<nt In the
Army-Has Not Been Summoned
to Waahin9tOns

Gen. Leonard Wood has not yet submitted
his resignation to the War Depa rfment, but
the impression prevails among the officials
that he is about to leave the military ser
vice to engage in corporation business in
this city. 1t Is pointed out by Gen. Wood 9
friends in the department that the general
would be impelled to this course through the
realization by him of the hopeiessness of
receiving any post in the permanent mill
terry establishment that would correspond
IN Importance and emoluments with that he
now holds. He cannot continue as gen.
eral officer in the volunteers for more than
very limited period of time and in the
Ordinary course would then go back to his
old post of captain in the medical depart
ment He is Junior to many Of the old reg
uiar line officers, such Lawton, Bates,
Young, Chaffee and Others who not only
participated with distinction in the Santiago
campaign. but some of whom have been
hghting since in the Philippines, and who
nave right, according to the general feel
ing of their brother officers, to expect pref
erence in promotion to be general officers in
the regular establishment. This being ad-
mltted, there would be small chance for
Gen. Wood to obtain a brigadier general
ship, and less than that it is not believed
that he would care for.
1t is stated at the War Department that
Gen. Wood was not summoned to Washing
ton, but has merely come to this country on
leave of absence, mainly for the purpose Of
bringing his family home and attending to
private business of pressing Importance
His desire to see the President as soon as
possible is believed to be due to wish to
consult him regarding the offer of the
Washington street railroad syndicate to be-
come its president, the acceptance of which
would involve the REIMBURSEMENT of his
army commission as a captain in the medi-
cal department. The statement that he is
to be appointed governor general of Cuba,
to relieve Gen. Brooke, is regarded as pre-
posterous in military circles, inasmuch as
such action would involve an entire reor-
ganization of all Of the military depart
ments of Cuba, all the commanders of
which are now senior to Gen. Wood.

RESULTS IN DEATH
One Man Killed, Two Others Seriously
Injured.
ACCIDENT IN SOUTHEAST WASHINGTON
Breaking Of Two Steel Gables USED
as Guy Lines.
FALL OF THIRTY-SIX FEET

There was a terrible accident at ID and n
streets southeast about noon today, which
resulted in the killing of John Pollard and
the serious injury of John Thompson and
William Dyson. All the men are colored.
They were at work on the big Tiber creek
sewer for Contractor ]. K. Murphy at the
time of the accident, which was caused by
the breaking of two steel cables used as
guy lines for a tall derrick.
Dyson and Pollard were at work on the
top of the derrick, thirty-six feet from the
ground when the steel lines broke. The
derrick fell forward and the men were
thrown into the ditch some distance away.
In this ditch were several big iron tubs,
and it is believed that both men landed on
them. Pollards back was broken and he
was dead when picked up. He had also re-
ceived internal injuries.
The Injured Men.
Dyson was not killed, but he is In an ex-
tremeiy critical condition, and 1t is feared
he will die His collar bone was broken in
two places, his back was hurt and he re-
ceived severe internal injuries Thompson
was working at a brick pile in front of the
derrick, and near where the other men fell.
HIS shoulder was fractured and he was
badly shaken up. but he will probably re-
cover. Dyson is thirty-eight years old, and
ives at NO. l+Z5 LIST street southwest.
Thompson's home is at 1893 Half street
southwest. He is thirty-eight years old
As soon as the accident happened police
patrol wagon from the fifth precinct and
the ambulance from headquarters were
summoned, and the vehicles started with
the victims of the sad affair to Providence
Hospital. When the hospital was reached
and the doctors pronounced Pollard dead
his body was removed to the morgue. Cor
oner Carr was notified of the affair. and
will probably hold an inquest tomorrow.
The injured men were received at the
hospital by the sisters in charge. and they
were soon in the care of the doctors. Mem
bers of their families were notified. and
they called at the hospital later in the af-
Jernoon.
Contractors Statement.
Contractor Murphy, for whom the men
worked, did all in his power to alleviate the
sufferings of the men before they were sent
to the hospital. Speaking of the accident
to Star reporter, Mr.. Murphy said ne
could not account for the breaking of the
steel lines. They were what are known as
Hercules" cables, he said, and are sup
posed to be the best made. These cables,
he said, have carrying strength of eleven
tons, and they held only two tons. They
had resisted sixteen tons when they were
tested.
Ordinarily, the contractor said, only one
line is used by contractors on such derricks
but he used two a means of extra pre-
caution. The cables, he said, were COM
paratively and he knew of no reason
for their breaking
Soon after the dead and injured men had
been removed from the scene of the acci-
ing the derrick. They cut the broken ends
of the cables and these pieces will be shown
the coroner's jury when the accident shall
be investigated.

Troop F of the 9Th Cavalry, now at Fort

take station at the Preside of San Francis
CO for the purpose of assisting in the care

ment without adequate protection. In case

SATISFIED WITH OTIS.
No Thought of Sending Gen. Miles to
the Philippines.

The story that Cen Miles is to go out to
the Philippines to take command having
taken new lease of life, growing out of
the presence of that officer in Atlantic City,
inquiry on the subject was made at the
War Department today. 1t was stated un-
equivocaliy that the Presiden: and the de-
partment are thoroughly satisfied with the
excellent management of Gen. Otis; that
to send ranking officer 10 the Philippines
would be practically to degrade Gen. Otis
and that there was no intention whatever
Of doing that.
