The latest reliable statistics fol
the country a. = whole are those OF
the census of 1900. and IN the year
closing with the beginning of the
census count, there had been 1885,
971 deaths from pneum"nis, while
consumption had scored only 5000

The disease is such an insidious
foe to the race. and does its work
so:quickly, that it has not been as
successfully studied as some others
that are less deadly. The medical
! profession is fully aroused, how
ever, and will prosecute a vigorous
campaign th's winter.
Minneapolis IS one Of the cities
asked to ASSET iu the collection Of
data, and every large CITY in the
country will contribute to the sup
ply Of information. There will be
laboratory work at Boston, New
York and Philadelphia, and every
hos spital in the land will be expected
to make reports Of field work.
Thus science hopes TO obtain
light on the causes, manner OF trans

favor the prevalence Of the disease,
as we'll as those most marked where
it is least prevalent.
Much more prevalent than small

and states are up in arms against

panic over It's presence, and it is
popula1ly regarded as the pest Of
all pests-while until the past few
years pneumonia has been viewed
with more or less indifference by all
save the medical fraternity.
This is the proper season for a
study Of the disease, as it begins its
ravages with the beginning OF WIN.

take warning, but not to take fright.

PURE FOOD LAW.
It 10 Constantly Broken by Unserupu-
ious lmposters.

Washington. Aug. PA chemical
laboratory for the examination OF i'm
ported food products will be opened in
the appraisers stores building of the
Treasury Department in New York by
the Department of Agriculture Septem-
ber 5th. Five expert chemists will be
installed. having been selected
through. special examinations by the
civil service commission. This is the
first of a number of laboratories to be
established to prevent impure food,
the product of foreign countries, en-
tering the United States. Congress
will be asked for appropriations for
such laboratories at Boston, Philadel-
phia, New Orleans, San Francisco and
Chicago. The foreign pure food law
has been in force more than year
and is regarded as beyond the expert
mental stage.
DR.. H. w. Wiley, chief of the bureau
Of chemistry of the Department OF
Agriculture, declares that it is the in
tention of the department now ito put
the screws on" Eighty per cent OF
the importations of food arrive at New
York. Samples from each cargo here
after will be taken direct from the ap-
praiser to the laboratory, obviating the
delay of requesting samples by the
secretary OF agriculture and the trans
mission of these samples to Washing
ton for analysis.
When the pure food law first was
put into operation it was found that
seventy-eight per cent of the imports
of food and drinks were admissible
under its provisions. Many cargoes
have been re-shipped out of the coun-
try as impure. resulting in raising the
standard of imports until now it is es-
timated that eighty-five per cent. OF
the imports are admissible under the
law.
The secretary of agriculture has
Just granted the first request OF an i'm
porter to destroy his cargo instead OF
re-shipping it after it had been con-
demned as impure, the cargo being
olive oil.
The secretary OF agriculture is
awaiting an Interpretation of portion
of the law which. it is believed, will
exclude entirely the importation of
sausages from Germany. The law ex-
cludes articles from entry into the
United States from foreign countries
which prohibit the importation OF
such articles. Germany prohibits the
importation of sausage. and should the
attorney general construe the law as
It Is believed he will in this respect
it will be enforced against German
sausages.
DR.. Wiley declares that there is not
a barrel of pure Scotch whisky in the
United States and that the importa-
tions OF this article are practically all
concoctions and should be labeled

WANT TTHEnBACK
LAWYERS WHO WERE pEpoRrEp
Members Of Teller County Bar Insist
That Attorneys Driven Out Shall
Be Permitted to Return.

Denver. Aug. PA Republican spe-
cial from Cripple Creek last night
says: A movement is on foot among
certain members Of the Cripple Creek
Bar Association to bring about the re-
turn OF Attorneys Cole and Engley to
the district. District Judges Seeds
and Lewis, who were present at an in
formal discussion of the matter to-
night, insisted that these attorneys be
permitted to return, and 1t is practi-
cally conceded that should they decide
to come back they will not be
molested, provided further agitation
and fomenting Of trouble is not at
tempted on their part.
Attorney Frank j. Hangs to-day no
titled Sheriff Bell of his intention to
return to the district, when he will
swear out warrants for several well
known citizens alleged to have been
concerned in last Saturdays deporta-
tions. He was assured of the protec-

building he was forcibly taken by a
mob last Saturday.

James Tedrow, Arthur Parker and

pENvER's AUDITORIUM.
Measure Is Attacked by Judge Moses
haIIett.

Denver Aug. 24-Federal Judge
Moses Hallett has asked the District
Court for an Injunction restraining the
city officials from building an audito-
rum. He will also test the legality of
the proposed bond issue.
In his capacity as executor'snd trus-
tee OF the George w. Clayton estate.
Judge Hallett on Monday filed the pe-
tition that will tie up the bond issue
and stop the city officials from going
further In providing Denver with an
auditorium until the long legal con-
test IS fought out.
Attorneys Macbeth & May acted
for Judge Hallett. filing the petition in
the District Court yesterday after
noon. Ut
The application and complaint are
sweeping In their nature. They deny
the power Of the city ofIicials to issue
bonds and build the auditorium under
the new charter. They insist that the
city can undertake no such obligation.
The petition alleges that the Clayton
estate will be greatly damaged by the
excessive taxes which the undertaking
would necessitate. and that many
other taxpayers are in n similar posi-
tion.
