Mr.. ROCKEFELLER
Who Lost a Grand Child Through
Summer COMPLAINT Has Made
a Donation to Pau ExDense
OF Seeking Solution.

BALTIMORE, Md, September o.
Two years ago when Mr. John D. Rookie
feller lost his little grandson, Jack -
who bore his name, the multi-million-
aire was grived beyond consolation. The
little fellow had fallen victim F, one
of the infantile maladies.
In a short time after little slack"
had been laid away in the dell near Mr..
Rockefeller's palatial home at Tarry-
town, overlooking the Hudson, the mill
llonarie seized the idea of putting the
machinery of science to work in order
to find out the causes of the malady
which had stricken his favorite grand
child, and having found the cause, to
apply the remedy.
He was willing to donate 5000, 900 to
this purpose, and the foremost patholo-
gist of this country. DR.. Williams Fl.
Welch, Professor of Pathology at the
Johns Hopkins Medical School, was
asked to conduct the research. He was
instructed to use the money in investi-
eating the causes ola infantile diseases,
and he has been vigorously pushing the
work forward.
From the Wilson Sanitarium comes
news of the fruits of Mr.. Rockefeller's
munifcence. During the SUNNI er
months Mr.. Victor P. Bassett, OF the
fourth-year class of the Johns Hopkins
Medical School; DR.. James II. NJ. Knox
and C. w. Duval. a medical student
from the University of Pennsylvania,
working under the direction of DIR.
Welch, have succeeded in finding the
organism which causes summer COM
plaint in children.
For a number of years it has been a
source of much worry to account for the
disease, and attempts Of many of the
worlds best pathologists and bacteriolo-
gists have been baffied.
Last year work begin on the cause of
summer complaint, with but little re-
suit. But this year the Investigators
have been more successful, and have de-
montrated to the satisfaction of all scien-
lists the actual cause of the disease. The
Investigators will continue their rsssear-
ches next summer in an endeavor to
fini curative for the malady.

Youthful TrdmpS
Reached Mother

BILOXI, Miss, Sept. 8.-Richard, Ho-
mer and Roland Gainor, aged IA, IL
and 10 years respectively, have accom-
plished the journey from Pensacola,
Florida, to Biloxi, ia miles, on foot,
iding only II miles by boat. The
rhree lads say that they were perse-
cuted by their father, and fed from
home on Tuesday, August 18, with on
ly $2.16. The two smaller boys trav-
eled the entire distance barefoot, and
presented a bedraggled appearance on
arrival here. They are now with
their mother who, since her divorce
from Ben Gainor in 1897, married Joe
Harrell and removed to Biloxi. The
stepfather of the boys says he will
protect them
The police in Pensacola threaten to
cause the arrest of Richard, the Oldest
boy, and lodge the charge of abduc-
tion against him.

Joined by an older boy. He trudged
with them down the Louisville and
Nashville railroad tracks begging food
for his companions along the way.
The trip from Pensacola was accom-
plished in six days. The little fell
lows, black-eyed and handsome, talk
of nights spent in hayricks by the
roadside and in houses of friendly
farmers. They put up with it all tC

World S largest Tree
Found in Si6rrdS.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept "A
few weeks ago there was discovered TO
the east of Fresno, in the Sierras, the
biggest known tree in the world At
the time it was said that it measured
$50 feet in circumference.
John Muir, the naturalist, has just
visited the tree and reports that it
measures at the base only 100 feet and
at four feet above the ground it is only
81 feet in circumference.
1t is, however, larger than ''General
Sherman" and General Grant" which
heretofore were the recognized monarchs
of the forests.

4 GRUESOME RELIC
To Let the President Know that
TiburOn Island in the Gulf Of
California is About to be
Invaded bu AdV6nturers

Los ANGELES, Sept. 9.-Preaidents
of the United States have received invi-
tations of many kinds. Some of them
have been inscribed upon tablets OF
gold, studded with precious stones.
Others have been upon wood or stone or
parchment, but the most grewsolne bid
for the presence of the Chief Executive
that was ever sent was that forwarded
to Washington last night by Charles
Meadows, better known as "Arizona
Charlie" 1t consisted of the scalp of
an Apache Indian, thu text of the invi-
tation being inscribed upon small
metal shield which was riveted to the
scalp.
''Arizona Charlie" is preparing to
head an expedition fhto Tiburon Island,
that mysterious land off the coast of
Mexico, inthe Gulf of Lower California,
into the interior of which it is said no
white man has ever penetrated. With
a band of forty or more adventures who
have had experience upon the cattle
ranges of Arizona, Meadows will leave
Los Angeles about October l for Quay
mas, and, procuring small sloop there,
will proceed to the island and make
landing on the westerly side.
They expect to be opposed by the In.
dians, who have successfully stood off
similar expeditions of Mexicans and
others for many years. The party does
not expect to find cities in the interior
subject to loot, but it will look for min
eral riches. The island is the property
of General Andrade, Mexican Consul in
Los Angeles, and through him the as
sistance of General Torres, commanding
the Mexican forces in the State of So
nora, has been secured. Unless the
party is driven off this assistance will
not be called upon.
Several DAYS ago some one suggested
to Meadows that he invite the President
to Join the expedition and suggested
that some unusual invitation be sent.
Yesterday Meadows decided to send the
invitation on an Apache scalp, several
of which he has had for years. The
Invitation" was at once prepared and
Last night it was forwarded by express.
The scalp is that of an Apacha chief
tain, whose name was Juan Dazen, and
who was at the head of band of red
skins on Canyon creek, adjoining Cres-
cent valley. This band of Indians had
been making raids upon the cattle
ranches and in the fall of 1884 party OF
thirty men, composed of the Tewks Jury
brothers, the Meadows brothers and a
number of cow-punchers, ambushed the
Indians and killed sixty of them. Mead
ows took the scalp of the chief and has
retained it ever since. He calls it his
receipt for good" Apache. OF course
he does not expect the President to &C.
cept, but he desires to call attention to
his expedition, and for that reason sent
the invitation.
