WILSON DIFFERS WITH KOCH.
The Secretary OF Agriculture Declares That
the Mix from Cows Can Convey
Tuberculosis.

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 3.-Secretary
Wilson, in an interview combatted the
theory of Prof. Koch that human be-
ings are in no danger from tubercu-
lOsis in animals. The secretary cited
numerous cases where human beings
have been inoculateI with tuberculo-
sis from cows and through cows milk,
and also where intestinal tuberculosis
affected with tuberculosis. Secretary
Wilson said:
SIT has been determined that bovine
tuberculosis can be communicated to
man, and we have cases of local tu-
berculosis produced by incubation.
These are mostly with persons who
make post-mortem examinations of
tuberculosis in cows. Three such cases
have been recently reported from the
state of Pennsylvania in veterinarians
who cut their hands or wounded them
with sharp pieces of bone.
SIN some of these cases the bacilli
were demonstrated by the microscope,
and in one of them by incubation of
animals. Similar cases have been re-
ported from Europe. Two cases re-
Gently reported from Pennsylvania
were of men employed in repairing
cattle cars. They wounded their
hands with pieces of woodwork and
local tuberculosis set in. One man
was cured, but in the other case the
disease had invaded the mans lungs
and caused death. Another case was
reported in an Omaha clinic. It was
of a girl with an eruption on the leg,
supposed to be ivy poison. Parents
applied cream and local tuberculosis
set in. Investigation showed that the
family had only used the milk from
one cow, and rabbits inoculated with
the milk and cream from this COW
died of tuberculosis

PENSION MONEY.
A legal Decision Says That It Cannot Be
Taken for the Payment
of Debts.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Money be-
longing to a pensioner cannot be
taken for the payment of debts if he
can show that such money came to
him in the payment of his pension.
This is the effect of decision rem
dered by Justice Barnard, of the Dis
trict of Columbia supreme court, in
the case of a suit to attach s., 400 in
the Columbian national bank to the
credit of Daniel O'Driscon, against
whom judgment for that amount
had been rendered. 1t has been in
formally held by the courts that pen
sion money in transit to a pensioner
could not be attached, but in this
case Justice Barnard, following prece-
dents in some of the state courts, ex-
tended the rule so as to cover pen
sion money after it is in the posses
sion of the pensioner.

IN FAVOR OF WOODS.
His Claigl Adjoining :he Town of
AawtOn, Ok Sustained.
acting Secretary of the Interior Holds
The Entry of Land to Be No Viola
ton of the Letter or Spirit
of the Law.

Washington, Aug. 31.-In the con-
Test case of j. L. Calvert against
james II. Woods, coming from the
A-awton, Ok, land district, and in
VolVing entry No. 1, the acting sec
rotary of the interior has rendered a
decision refusing to order hearing
on the case. The charges upon
which the contest was founded were
substantially that Woods entry was
made in violation of the homestead
law by reason of its location on the
south line of the town of Lawton,
and that the entry embraces a tract
mile long and only quarter of a
mile wide, and was so taken for
speculative purposes and not For
agricultural purposes, and that the
entry was made at time when there
were large number of townsite set
tiers on the land who occupied it for
trade and business purposes.
The decision holds that the selec-
ton and entry of land adjacent to
the town of Lawton was not in vio-
Iatlon of the letter or spirit of the
law and that the fact that there may
have been alleged townsite settlers
on the land at the time he made his
entry does not affect Woods right
of entry. The land was not subject
to appropriation for townsite pur-
poses, nor was any person author
lied to enter upon it or occupy it
for purposes of trade or business, and
no such occupancy could operate to
defeat his right to enter. It is fur
Their held in the opinion that Woods
entry is not bad on account of the
form of the tract embraced; that the
special provisions of the act of May
2, 1890, do not control in this matter,
but that the general provisions of the
homestead law do. The secretrry
says that under the act of June 6,
1900, making provision for the dispo-
sition of these lands, it is directed
that they shall be disposed of under
the general provisions of the home
stead and townsite laws of the
United States and that under this
law Woods location is valid.

HoWIsoN's DENIAL.
The Admiral Says He Did Not Comment
Adversely on SchIey-SchIey's Lawyers
Dissatisfied with the Statement.

Washington, Aug. 31.-Acting Sec
rotary Hackett has made public a let
ter received from Admiral Howison,
dated YonIzers, N. Y, August "a, de-
nying the authenticity of the inter
view attributed to him in which is
made a comment adversely on Ad-
miral Schley. The acting secretary
has, therefore, continued Admiral
Howison as a member of the Schley
court of inquiry, leaving the court
itself to determine any further ques-
ton as to his competency.
Admiral Schley's counsel, however,
is entirely dissatisfied with the posi-
ton of Admiral Howison as disclosed
in his letter. The lawyers hold that
it is not a comprehensive denial of
the statements attributed to Admiral
Howison, nor, they say, does it dis
close sufficiently the admiral's free
dom from bias.
