Declares Consumption is Incurable.

A dispatch from ST. Louis last night
says: That phthisis of the lungs cannot be
cured was the statement made today by
DR.. Fred Kolbenheyer of st. Louis at the
International tuberculosis congress, who
explained the discoveries of Prof. Otto Won
Schroen Of the Royal University of Naples.
Professor Won Schroen was unable to be
present and sent his paper to be read.
Professor Won Schroen explained that pa.
tient suffering from consumption could live
for years in apparent health, but under fa-
vorable circumstances the germ of the dis
ease would become active and destroy the
lung tissues. In cases of phthisis of the
lungs, the professor said. he had discov-
cred new germ, which, together with the
germ that had hitherto been known to doc
tors to destroy all animal life, existed only
in the cases Of phthfsis of the lungs. A
resolution adopted providing for q
publicity committee of four to enlist as
sistance in carrying on strong educa~
tional campaign against tuberculosis. Dr
7. II. Kellogg of Battle Creek, Mich, was
appointed chairman of the committee.

GOSSIP OVER HoAR's SUCCESSOR
Gov. Bates Not Decided Upon Moody's
Appointment.

A dispatch from Boston last night says:
Gov John F. Bates today denied abso-
lutely that he had decided to appoint At
torney General Moody to the Senate to
succeed Senator Hoar.
The governors attention was called to
the report that Senator Hoar had shortly
before his death communicated to the gov
ernor his wish that the present Attorney
General might succeed him.
1.-The late senator never intfmated to me
anything relative to his successor" said
the governor.
Ex-Governor Long has told his friends
that he would be a candidate for the ap-
pointment.
1t is stated on good authority that If the
bingham statesman is the recipient of
Governor Bates favor that Attorney Gen
eral Moody Representative Frederick H.
Gillett of the second district, and possibly
General Draper would be candidates when
the legislature meets
The principal argument against the cleo
ton Of Attorney General Moody would be
that geographically he is located in the
wrong section of the state. The Attorney
Generals home is in Essex county where
Senator Lodge also lives
1t has been said that if Governor Bates
wants to move along the line Of least re-
sistance he will appoint Ex-Governor Crane
to fill the vacancy There would then 1t
Is argued, be no public criticism and no
contest in the Legislature. Governor Bates
has stated privately that he is not a cam
d1date to succeed Mr.. Hoar

ALMA THE SCENE
in Which Scott Weese met
his Death.

or Another SanRuinary Combat.
in Which Scott Weese met
his Death.
Confined in Jail is Lon Peevey, q
young man from Alma, while over him
hangs an indictment for murder in the
first degree, while in newly dug grave
lie the remains Of Scott Weese and his
brother James lies seriously injured.
The saloon of Tom Mayfeld at Alma
was the scene Of another sanguinsry
fight last Saturday evening. 1t appears
from information available that Scott
Weese, his brother James and number
Of others had been drinking in the May.
field saloon and were considerably under
the influence of liquor A fight got
started and ere it had progressed far
every man in the house was mixed up
in it. Town Marshal Wright being
notified repaired to the scene Of the dis
turbance and on the way deputized
Peevey to assist him in quelling the dis
turbance. On entering the saloon, 1t Is
said, the Weese brothers made for
Peevey and the latter, being unarmed,
| picked up heavy spittOon and with It
crushed the skull of Scott Weese and
| fractured that of James Weese. This
cleared up the atmosphere, and Peevey
left the place unmolested and was not
seen for two days, but when he learned
of the indictment found against him he
surrendered to VIM Pitcock Of Alma
and was brought to Van Buren and
placed in Jail. Peevey's parents live at
Neosho, Mo.
A special grand jury empaneled by
Judge Evans Monday returned an in.
dictment against the accused Of murder
in the first degree. II there Is any truth
at all In any Of the reports current 1t IL
hard to understand how they could have
found an indictment for murder In the
first degree.
Scott Weese was constable Of Dyer
township while his brother had been u
deputy sheriff until recently under Jim
Pitcock. Latest reports from Alma are
to the effect that james Weese is out Of
danger.
