The Reed Memorial.
Steps Taken to Perpetuate the Memory
of Heroic Army Officer.


The work done by Walter Reed.
the heroic army officer who died in
consequence of his efforts to stamp
out yellow fever in Cuba, has perhaps
been forgotten by the general public.
but not by those directly interested
IN colonial administration. An asso-
citation has been formed for the pur-
pose of perpetuating the memory Of
the valuable services of Major Reed
by means of monument. The idea
was first advanced about a year ago
at a dinner given by Alexander Ora
ham Bell TO several members of the
American Association of Scientists.
Nothing is more certain than that
scientific investigations with a view
TO the stamping out of germ diseases
will play a great part In the future
welfare of the race. There are two
directions in which these investiga-
tons may even now be pursued with
great and immediate advantage.
Means may be found to reduce the
danger of living in tropical climates
in which there are American and Eu-
ropean colonies, and the danger of
tropical diseases attacking troops
fighting in such regions may be
greatly lessened. II is said that
Major Reeds discovery led TO the de-
vising OF means Of stamping out yell
low fever in Cuba. This one achieve
ment is enough to win man immor-
tality. when the enormous danger of
fever-breeding island at our very
doors is considered, and when the
havoc wrought In the past in New
Orleans, in Charleston, in Norfolk, is
remembered.
The progress of science depends on
causes so closely linked with each
other that every discovery tending to
lessen the danger of one germ disease
is likely 10 throw some light on the
best means OF suppressing or roofing
out another. We are certain to have
all sorts OF problems Of this nature
on our hands in the near future. and
the lives Of thousands Of young
American soldiers and civil officers
depend on the safety with which it
may be possible to live in the tropics.
The climate Of the West Indies or OF
the Philippines is healthful in the
main, but we have in all these I'M
cared-for garden spots of the world

norance, filth, bad sanitation, and i'm

clergyman, why not take ones

is more convenient, or at, the nearest

out of the service instead of the

might not be possible in every house

to adopt the plan in some.

HEARST AND ANTS
FIGHTING FOR IOWA
Disposition of Tweny-six Votes Will Depend Result
of Today Primaries.

The result of the primaries in twenty
six coSlnties of Iowa, today, will practi-
cally determine whether or not the
Democrats of the Hewkeye State will
support Representative William r.
Hearst for the Presidency in the ST.
Louis convention
or the CO. delegates already chosen 20
the State convention. which meets next
Wednesday, both the Hearst and the
antl-Hearst men claim majority, while
the chances are that the former are
more nearly correct in their calculations
than the latter. In fact. the anti-Hearst
men. who are not united upon any can
dioate. and who. although generally
favoring Judge Parker. want to send an
unrestricted delegation to St. Louis.

the delegates elected prior to today.

other notable guests to this country.
Prince Pu Lun. the most recent visitor,
left handsome souvenirs of himself with
Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. Hay. and Mrs.
Foster, ali of whom entertained him
while here.
Mrs. Roosevelt received a carved
lacquer jewel cabinet from The palace
al Pekin, two rolls of brocaded satin
pat up in one of those fetching silk
boxes made by the Chinese, and which
are generally as much appreciated as
the gift proper; an antique Bronze jar
of wonderful workmanship and value.
and an antique porcelain vase.
The President is barred from receiving
gifts from foreigners or RANK. and it is
customary for the Presidents wife to
receive the gifts. The twelve beautiful
marble figures of the graces, and muses.
which decorate the table on all state
dinners at the White House, We're pre-
scented to Mrs. Roosevelt by the repre-
sentatives of the French government at
the unwilling of the Rochambtau statue.

ton. The usual wonderful letter which

Allied Against Harrison.

The story of a somewhat singular po-
'Itical alliance comes flom Chicago. Elk
Mayor John p. Hopkins and the fol-
lovers Of Representative Hearst have
jcired forces against Mayor Harrison,
and the test of strength between the
combination and the mayor will come
at the primaries for the election o.
delegates TO the State Democratic con-
vention.
Hopkins is a gold Democrat, and an
anti Bryan man. Yet he IS now working
hand in glove with Hearst, and. II he
wins, a Hearst delegation will be sent
from the Windy City to the State con-
vention.
Back of the combination is all the
factionai bitterness between the present
mayor and the ex-mayor. Hopkins cares
naught for Hearst. and at heart Is
strong anti-Hearst man. But he wants
to prevent Mayor Harrison from retain
ing control OF the Cook county Democra-
tic organization.
He has been struggling for several
years to dethrone Mayor Harrison. and.
failing in each attempt. has now reached
such desperate condition as TO enter
into an alliance with a candidate whose
political principles he does not sympa-
IllZe WIFI
1t is understood that in case the Hop
kins-Hearst combination wins. the pro-
ceeds will be divided as follows:
Hopkins will be given control OF the
city organization. which is all he wants
Hearst Will get the deIegates-the object
for which he is striving.
Mayor Harrison is not a candidate for
a place on the Democratic national
ticket. But he wants to continue his
hold upon the Democratic organization
and also TO elect delegates to the State
convention who will vote to instruct Illi-
nois delegates in the national convention
TO vote for Representative James r.
Williams OF that State.

Harrison has always had Democratic OPP

the support OF Mr.. Hearst's newspapers

newspaper support he had. Since Har-
rison has refused to declare for Hearst
and is in favor OF Mr.. Williams, the
