PULPIT CoMBATS MURDER
Kentucky Preachers start Crusade
Against Too Many Local
Killings.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Feb. S.-A campaign
against crime in Louisville and Kentucky
was begun by the ministers of the state
today.
In nearly every church in this city special
services were held tonight OF this morning
and the ministers and prominent laymen
made addresses urging reform in the ad-
ministration OF the criminal laws. Spe-
cials from various points in Kentucky
state that similar services we're held in
the churches throughout the common
wealth.
The services were the outcome of a pc
tition prepared by the Louisville Ministe-
rial association several days ago requesting
that the ministers Of the state set aside
today for the purpose of preaching against
crime, which the petition declared was
prevalent throughout Kentucky.
The direct cause OF the request was a
number Of murders which have occurred
in Louisville and throughout the state dur
ing the last few months.

BALL MAGNATEs BEGIN MEET
Discuss Formal business, but Make
No Decision Auent American
Circuit.

CHICAGO, Feb. S.-The American assoc
citation owners, after a session of several
hours today, finally adjourned until tomor-
row without reaching any decision regard
ing the question of circuits.
according to President Hickey. the in
vasion of Chicago was not even discussed
and It can be said, on good authority, that,
barring unexpected develc pments, the cir
cult will remain the same as last season.
Owing to the late arrival of President
Lennon of the st. Paul club the session
was not begun until this morning. A short
meeting of the directors preceded the reg
ular session of the club owners, which
spent the last part of the afternoon and a
good part or the evening in executive ses-
sion.
Representatives from every club in
the league were present, as sollows: Co
lumbus, T. J. Bryce and Eddie Schoen-
horn; Milwaukee, c. s.. Havenor; Louis
vile, George Tebeau; Kansas City, Dale
Gear and AL Buell. st, Paul, George e..
Lennon and M. J. Kelly; Minneapolis, Ed
A. Johnston and Walter Wilmot: Toledo.
c. j. Strobel; indianapolis, c.. 8. Kaschaupt.
w. H. Watkins of Indianapolis, who vas
the only owner absent, was detained to
look after the pending legislation to allow
Sunday base ball in Indiana.
The first business transacted by the club
owners was to formally award the pennant
to the Indianapolis club. The rest Of the
time was taken up largely by discussions
on proposed changes in the constitution.
The work, according to President Hickey,
who presided, was all of a routine nature.

PNEUMONIA IS CONTAGIOUS
Necessity for UnfalterinE Care by At
tendants in the Sick
Room.

We wonder, says American Medicine, II
the fact that patients and their friends
ignore the contagiousness Of pneumonia Is
often due to professional negligence. An
exaggerated conception of the contagious
ness of tuberculosis is held by the lay
world, but pneumonia Is, of course, far
more contagious. And patients and pro-
fession alike have not realized the new
fact that the mortality of pneumonia is in
some cities and parts of the country higher
than that OF tuberculosis. DR.. Reynolds Of
Chicago returns to this lesson and en-
phasizes the necessity of the following
measures:
Pneumonia is a highly contagious dis
ease, the cause Of which is a miero-organ-
ism in the sputa Of those suffering from
the malady, and contracted by inhaling this
germ Therefore, the same care should
be taken to collect and destroy the sputa
that is taken in pulmonary tuberculosis,
or in diphtheriA or influenza.
During the illness the greatest palms
should be taken to prevent soiling bed
clothing, carpets or furniture with the
| sputa. and after the illness the patients
room should be thoroughly cleansed and
ventilated.
The fact that the disease is most pre-
vaient in the winter season, when people
are most crowded together and live much
Of the time in badly ventilated apartments,
makes obvious the necessity Of thorough
ventilation OF houses, %ofices, factories,
theaters, churches. passenger cars and
other public places. in order that the air
which must be breathed may be kept clean
and free from infectious matter.
Laymen should be taught not to be afraid
OF a patient who has pneumonia, influenza
or tuberculosis, but to be afraid Of lack
| OF cleanliness about him during his illness,
of failure to enforce prophylactic meas
ures and OF close, badly ventilated apart
ments during the season when these dis
eases most prevail.
Since pneumonia is most fatal at the
extremes Of life-the young and the aged
special care should be taken to guard
children and old persons against exposure
TO the infection OF those already suffering
with the disease and against cold, priva-
tion and exposure to the weather, which
are potent, predisposing causes.

Several druggists and grocers around
New York have been yictimized during the
last few months by the old trick OF taking
orders for some we'll known goods at a
suspiciously low price and delivering and

wrappers Of which resemble so closely the
genuine that the victims often pay with
out further examination. When opened.
the packages are found to be empty, or to
contain rubbish Of some sort.

Prisoners Kick ont of Jail.

SHELTON, Neb., Feb. s.-(speciaL)-
Thursday noon two strangers went into
the store of Hansen & Bernhard and while
all were busy they took a pair of shoes,
some shirts and a bolt Of prints. The goods
were not missed until one of the men called
at a residence in town and sold the prints
to the woman of the house and offered
the balance Of the theft. AS their prices
were extremely low the sale was reported
and the goods identified by the owners.
Later the two men were arrested and held
in the cooler over night and taken before
Justice Mitchell. where one of them pleaded
guilty and the other not guilty. County
Attorney Mcdonald was sent for and was to
have arrived Saturday, but during Friday
night the prisoners kicked a hole in the
calaboose roof and made good their escape.
AS the case now stands the thieves are
ahead two days board and lodging, with
poor prospects OF their settling the bill.

five of the labor organizations In Kansas
City, Kan, representing 5000 workers in
the packing house industries, met today and
formed a new central labor body for Kan
sas City, known as the Packing Trades
council"
Michael Donnelly, national president Of
the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workers Union Of North America, ad-
dressed the meeting and it was under his
direction that the council was organized.
The unions represented at the meeting
today we're: The cattle butchers, the sheep
butchers, the hog butchers, the beef
boners and the coopers.
The other unions which are eligible to
representation in the new council are:
The packing house fremen and engineers,
the tin can workers, the electrical workers,
casing workers, oleo workers and the meat
cutters, including the cutters in retail es-
tabllshments.
Mr.. Donnelly will go to st. Joseph on

trades council there.
The Packing House Trades council will
not ask for an increase in wages at pres
emit, at least" said Mr.. Donnelly today.
That is not the principal object of FORM

acted through a central body composed ex>

branch of packing house work.
