JUMPING ON JENKINS
The Eastern Press lnttmates that He Is
Playing Away from His Base.

~
washington, Jan. 16-The east seems
TO be having fun with Representative Jen-
kirls over his government supervision of
coal resolutions. The newspapers re-
fuse to take him seriously, and when they
are not guying him, are pointing out the
absurd1ties, as they claim, Of his PROPOSE
ton. A sample of newspaper comment is
the following from the editorial page of
to-day's Washington Post:
"Of the astounding proposition of Rep
resentative Jenkins in favor of the seizure
and operation by the government of all
COAL coal beds and coal mines in the
United States and all lines of transporta-
ton, agencies, instruments and vehicles
OF commerce necessary for the. transpor-
tation Of coal, only a few words need be
said, but those few words should be un-
mistakably plain.
Had that resolution been introduced by
a new member from some backwoods dis
tr1ct, a man of limited equipment and
demagogical habits, its manifest absurdi-
ty might not have called for severe re.
buke. But, coming from veteran in the
house, the chairman of the Judiciary com
naittee, it demands serious and candid
treatment.
I'm the first place. Mr.. Jenkins should
| have known that the government canno,
condemn and acquire private property 70,
any other than government uses. It car
no more take and work the coal mines and
transportation facilities than it could seize
and operate the furnaces, mills, factories
farms and stores for the accommodating
of the people. f{8 q

bert with questions. They maintained
that two years ago, when $1,000, 900 was
granted, it was with the understanding
that this would finish the building, and
wanted to know what guarantee could be
given that two years hence the commits
sion would not want more money. They
also asked what would be done with the
building if no more money was granted.
Mr.. Gilbert explained that since 1901
the cost of materials had greatly in
creased, and that as the building adj
vanced many new wants had been discov-
cred. He said the s1,5O0,000 asked would
cover all contingencies. With this ex-
penditure. the building would cost just
53k cents a cubic foot, while the Iowa
capitol cost So cents, and the compression
al library at Washington cost 60 cents a
cubic foot. If no further proportion was
given, the walls would have to be finished
in plain plaster instead of marble and
Mankato stone. 49,, . =
The general feeling among the mem
bers was that the building should be fin
ished right. without any makeshifts, and
that the appropriation would have to be
granted. e. IT,: IT, IS y
Mr.. Gilbert said that the executive off,
ces would be ready to occupy, as Governor
Van SAINT said, by July 4, 1904, and tina,
the legislative halls would be ready for the
legislature Of 1905. The only thing thai
could prevent would be labor troubles.

invitation to the public to inspect thu

Severe Case Of Bloodpoisoning APP
parently Cured by Injection of
Formaline Into Vein. "
DR.. Charles Barrows of New York
Saves a Patient With a Tenn
perature Of 1O8.
This Is the First Case Known of The
Injection of Formaline
Into the Blood. -

New York, Jan. 16.-At the last meet
ing Of the New York Obstetrical society,
DR.. Charles Barrows of this city submit
ted report of an experiment with forma-
line, a drug known as the strongest Of
antiseptics, which he had made in Belle.
vue hospital on a patient who after
giving birth to a child, had a temperature
Of 1os degrees and a pulse Of 160 When
the patient was admitted she was suffer
ing from sepsis or bloodpoisoning. i
The patient was negro woman Of
slight stature. DR.. Barrows had a small
portion Of blood drawn from the woman's
arm and a culture was made. This was
examined by DR.. Buxton, a bacterioloEist
of Cornell medical college, and was found
to be loaded with the virulent bacteria OF
septicemia, which are called strep-
tococci. - ~. IL :
The woman now had temperature OF
10S degrees and pulse OF 16D. Never in
the history of the medical profession was
a patient known to recover from this dis
ease with such rise Of pulse and tenn
perature. <iCE
Dr. Barrows resolved to try most
radical measure. He injected into. one Of
the large veins of her right arm 500 cubic
centimeters of formaline. The effect was
almost instantaneous. The woman was at
the time almost in a state of collapse
The strength of the solution was $4,000.
BY the next day the temperatur had
dropped. to 101 degrees with a corresponds
| ing drop in the pulse rate. On the sue.
| ceeding day the temperature went up
! to 1O2 degrees and on the next day to LOB
degrees. A second blood culture dis
| closed the fact that although stereptococci
were still present they were in vastly dt-
| minished quantities. DR.. Barrows then
| made a second injection. The tempera-
! ture dropped to the normal in few hours
| and the pulse to Sc beats per minute.
An examination Of third blood culture
! showed that no germs existed. The
| womans pulse and temperature have now
been normal for ten days and she Is prao-
| tically well.
| Experiments are being made on animals
| and further important results are CT
| pected. The injection of formaline inso

Indiana, a, member of the subcommittee
of the judiciary committee which is
drafting an antitrust bill, speaking of
the Knox matter to-day, said:
: The committee and the attorney gen.
eral are in perfect harmony. We have
deemed it advisable to go over the bill
with him and his trained assistants with
a view to picking out the defects and
keeping the bill within the limitations
cisions. Mr.. Knox has all these de-
cisions at his fingers ends and has been
Of invaluable help to US. We feel it was
much better to correct the little defects
now than to have the bill attacked after
reaching the calendar in the house and
Mr.. Knox has co-opersted with us to the
fullest degree possible. We cordially agree
with him as to the scope of the bill. 1t
had been arranged to report the bill to the
house to-day, but we have thought it best
to- have 1t go over until the early part OF
next week. We are to see the attorney
general once more and on Monday the

to pass upon the bill There will be

MESSENGER BOY DID It
He Threw a Signal Causing a Train
Wreck and Four Fa- -
: talities.

Cumberland, Md, Jan. 16.-The east
bound express leaving here at 1920 this
morning, near the east end of the yard,
struck two freight engines on the main
track, killing Engineer Sims and Firemen
Moran and Sneering of the passenger train
and Engineer Butter Of one of the freight
engines. None Of the passengers were
injured. -.
Investigation Of the cause of the acct
dent shows that a messenger boy who
was in the telegraph office threw the sig
nal without the knowledge Of the operator,
giving the passenger train a clear track
when it should have been blocked.
It is charged that the messenger boy
named Turner was "monkeying' in the
block tower, when No. 10 came along.
He heard the engineers whistle for clear
tracks and pulled lever giving a clear
signal. The operator had, it is explained,
previously set the signal at danger. While
his attention was being devoted to com :
municating with the succeeding block
station the boy. it is alleged, pulled the
lever that gave the incoming train the
signal that it had a clear track ahead
and the tower operator was not aware
Of what was done until the crsh came.

WHO HOLDS THIS PUELl
The Special Grand Jury in Chicago
Still Anxiously Questioning
Many People. >

Chicago, Jan. 1e.-The grand jury in
vestigation into the cause of the fuel
shortage proceeded to-day, notwithstand-
ing an agreement on the part Of the Illi-
nois. Manufacturers association to arbi-
trate its differences with the coal men.
Coal dealers from number of suburbs
appeared before the inquisitors. These
were for the most part small retailers who
told Of the trouble experienced by those
who have to depend upon the output of
mines not under contract. or upon free
COAL" The free coal mined in Illinois
being only 30 or 40 per cent Of the en-
tire output. and it being admitted by
operators that contracts were made at
such low prices that little profit was
made on them, 1t was declared that the
burden Of profit making falls heavily on
dealers who are compelled to handle the
free coal.
One OF the first witnesses was J. M.
Glenn. secretary of the Illinois Manufac-
turers'. association, who failed to re-
spond to telephone summons yesterday
and who was brought In on a forthwith
lnnfsooana.

is being held here for higher prices, be-
cause they could sci lany amount Of coal
at any time, and at almost any price de-
manded. -.- F.. o., =,
The advance in pricese, principally, in
soft coal, results from competition. When
it becomes known that any mine has
coal to sell, representatives Of different
companies are sent after it. These agents
bid against each other, and naturally, the
mine owner sells to the highest bidder.
How Prices Have Advanced. ....,.
The western representatives Of big
coal company tried to get 100 cars of
| srnOkeless coal for Minneapolis and de-
livered on track it cost the company s7.75
a ton. Smokeless coal such as was fur

now brings $500. Hooking coal on which
| the delivered price on Sept. 1, was $3.50

screened cannot be scured now. Hook
! ing screenings which brought $3.50 de-
livered Sept. 1 was 100 on Jan. l.. =.
