FIGHT CURES MENINGITIS.
Diptheria Microbe Set te Germ of An
other Disease-Both Perish.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Pitting the
deadly germ of diphtheria. against the
equally deadly diploccus meningidodis
intracellularis. or germ of cerebro-
spinal meningitis, D. Edward Waltz
fielder has discovered a cure for the
latter disease in that the germs destroy
each other. The results nave startled
scientists, because of the radical de-
parture from accepted theories. Out
OF eight cases treated with the diph-
trehla antitoxin five have been abso-
lutely cured and two show improve
ment.
The only uncertain case is that of a
girl of 10, who was at the hospital
seventeen days before she was treated
with the antitoxin. Particularly in
teresting were the cases of three
brothers, from to IA years old. An
other brother had died at home after
an illness of two days. Eight thou
sand units of antitoxin were given to
each boy every forty eight hours. Two
of them are now entirely well. and
the third is rapidly improving.

MONEY FOR DIsTRIc7sls UP TO SENATOR ANkEAY
MUST SHOW GOOD CAUSE TO
PREVENT CONFIRMATION
OF kINGSBURY.
United States Senate Is Getting Tired
of peanut" Politics and Settling
Disputes.

Senator Ankeny has got to produce
an array of very substantial reasons if
he hopes to prevent the confirmation of
E. P. Kingsbury as surveyor general
OF Washington, is the story that comes
from Washington. city to the Tacoma
News
On Wednesday the junior senator
will be expected to make his showing
before the committee on public lands,
and if he fails to make good, Kings
bury's nomination will be reported to
the senate, and he will be confirmed.
very tired of peanut politics; it is get
ting tired of settling disputes between
republican senators from the same
state. The time seems to have gone by
when senator can prevent the con-
firmation of some appointee of the
president by merely saying the man is
Objectionable to him; he now has to
show cause, ana good cause.
In the good old times Senator An
keny might have been able to have
prevented the confirmation of George
M. Stewart of Seattle; ne might have
been in the position to prevent the
confirmation of a surveyor general by
a mere request. But times have
changed, even in the senate, and that
body, like the president, mas taken to
asking "why?"
1t SO happens that Mr.. Kingsbury
has given very good account of him
self while he has been surveyor gen.
eral of Washington. His record is
highly satisfactory to the interior de-
partment, and he bears the approval of
Land Commissioner Richards and of
Secretary Hitchcock.
elf there is anything crooked with his
administration, it has not been brought
to light; if his character is assailable,
it has not yet been attacked.
The only way Senator Ankeny can
prevent Kingsbury's confirmation is to
lay before the senate committee facts
which are not now generally known.
Considerable interest is manifest to
see just what objection will be raised.
The basis of Senator Ankeny's pro-
test has been prepared for him in the
state of Washington, and is about due
to arrive here. Until the nature OF
this showing is made public it will be
impossible to tell what action the pub
lie lands committee will take. But
whatever that action may be, it will
govern the senate and will determine
whether Kingsbury is to be confirmed
or rejected. 1t is the committee, and
not Senator Ankeny that is the po-
tent force.

MURDER OF MABEL scoFIELD.
Some Damaging Evidence Given by
dr." Taylor.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Feb. 22.-Tne
state has rested it's case against Chas.
Thomas, on trial for the murder Of
Mabel Scofield five years ago.
Summed up, the state claims it has
proven that a murder was committed
by the use of choral hydrate, or
knockout drops" a poison whicn the
defendant purchased on different occa-
sions, one time just prior to the dis
covery of the girls body. Four pny-
sicians have testified that the body had
no water in the lungs when taken from
the river, thereby indicating that the
girl was dead before the body was
placed in the water.
The case has been continued pending
preparation for a motion by the defense
for dismissal which will be argued
some time today.
Tayor's Medical Record.
DR.. William Taylor, who gave dam
aging evidence yesterday against Chas.
Thomas, was subjected to the most
rigid cross examination in the after
noon. He admitted that he had been
convicted of manslaughter in Benton
county in 1879, and that once he had
been convicted of forging a money or
der in Des Moines. For both offenses
he served his time in state institutions.
After these troubles ne came back to
Des MONIES and in 1890 began the prac-
tice Of medicine. Asked if ne had a
state certificate, DR.. Taylor answered
negatively.
During his stay in Des Moines and
up to the time of the killing of Mabel
Scofield, Taylor practiced among the
lower resorts of the city. He had, it is
claimed, treated many girls who were
associates of Thomas chums.
The state claims that when Thomas
as is charged in the murder indictment,
found that he had given Mabel SEQ
field too much choral, nothing was
more natural that that a quack doctor
should be called in. Asked why ne had
not opened his mouth before and told
the world that Thomas had admitted
killing Mabel Scofield, Taylor said that
he had been threatened with prosecu-
ton for practicing without certificate,
and that he felt the best thing to do
was to keep his mouth shut and skip
out. He was not a witness before any
of the preliminary examinations OF
Thomas.

EX-BANK WRECKER POWERFUL
Edward L. Harper Goes From Cell t.
High Post of Trust.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Pardoned
from the Ohio penitentiary less than
twelve years ago, where ne was serV-
ing a ten-year sentence for misappro-
priation of bank funds, Edward l..
Harper is today vice president and
general manager of the Union Iron &
Steel company, a $6OO,OOO,OO0 corpora
ton which does a BUSINESS of $2,00O,-
600 a year and has the confidence and
respect of the financial interests of the
country.
1t was in May, 1887, that Mr.. Harper,
associated with several prominent
business men of Cincinnati, where he
was vice president of the Fidelity Ma
tional, attempted to corner the wheat
market of Chicago.
The corner failed. Mr.. Harper, it
was found, had allowed 100000 of the
funds of the bank of which he was vice
president, to be used in the deal, and
on June Fl, 1887, the bank closed its
doors.
Harper was charged with criminal
responsibility for the wreck of the
bank, and with Benjamin Hopkins, the
cashier, was indicted, tried and con-
victed and sentenced to ten years in
prison. Hopkins got off with eight
years. Harper was pardoned after he
had served six years.
In his previous career Mr.. Harper
had become familiar with the iron and
steel industry and he thought there
was big plants. He went to William
Rotch, Boston millionaire, with his
scheme.
. He told Mr.. Rotch frankly all about
his past, unfolded his plan to him and
enlisted his interest. The result was
the incorporation, under the laws of
Delaware, in 1899, of the Union Steel
& Chain company.
From it's very inception the company
prospered. In March, 1903, it changed
it's name to the Union Iron & Steel
company.

They Have a Narrow Escape.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Feb. 22.-The
Pennsylvania flyer, from Philadelphia,
carrying E. H. Sothern and Julia Mar
lowe and their company, had a re-
markable escape from plunging into
the Susquehanna river at Retreat, be-
low this city yesterday afternoon.
While running at the rate of fifty
miles an hour, with a high bank on
the one side and the river on the other,
the tire of one of the forward driving
wheels came off and the driving rod
broke.
The broken rod smashed a great
hole in the boiler, and so much steam
escaped that the train came to a stop
within half a mile. All of the five
coaches remained on the track. No
one was injured.

GRIP ON FAST CANAL WORK.
Senate Seeks to Maintain Present Con
ditions; President RetaIiates.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 22.-The
senate will not attempt to abolish the
isthmian canal commission or change
it's present status if the influence of
Senator Allison can prevent sucn ac-
ton. The service of notice by Mr.. AL
lison on the interoceanic canal COM
mission that interference with the
commission would not be tolerated, was
accepted as conclusive and the bill re-
ported yesterday by Senator Kittredge
contains no provision for disturbing the
commission. The BILL passed by the
house yesterday, with the exception
that the Mann bill reduces the mem
bership of the commission to three.
while the Kittredge bill leaves the COM
mission unchanged.
If the senate passes it's own meas
ure as a substitute for the Mann bill,
thus throwing the whole matter into
conference a lively struggle for mastery
will follow. The house favors reducing
the commission to three members.
The senate would do the same but for
the influence of Mr.. Allison, the chair
man of the appropriations committee.
Mr.. Allison is interested in the reten-
of the commission and will consent to
nothing that affects his service. Mr.
Allison's wife was Admiral Walkers
foster sister.
The president has already arranged
his program in the event that Senator
Allison is successful in preventing
either the abolition or reduction of the
commission. He has consulted legal
advice, and will decide that under ex-
listing law he has the right to give
the individual members of the commits
SIGN specific assignments and outline
just what work each will perform.
He will divide the work into sections
and give the various members their in
Struction.
This would involve a residence on
the isthmus of Panama for a large
proportion of the time and would in
many ways prove distasteful. He will
pursue this course unless congress acts
on recommendations already made for
modifying the size and reducing the
Importance Of the isthmian canal COM
mission.
