IN INTEREST OF WHITE DEATH
PROMINENT PHYSICIANS AND
CITIZNS MEET.
Hold Preliminary Meeting For The
Prevention Of tuberculosis
At The Council
Chamber.

A preliminary meeting was held in
the City Council Chamber yesterday
afternoon by q number of physicians
and citizens interested in the Mary
land Association for the Prevention and
Relief of Tuberculosis.
No definite action was taken at ia e
meeting, but plans were discussed in
the interest of a large meeting to be
held here in January, at which it is
hoped 10 effect an organization. At
the January meeting it is proposed TO
have DR.. William Osler present on this
occasion and number of eminent
physicians and surgeons throughout
the country.
A State Commission, created by the
Legislature of 1902, for the purpose of
investigating the subject of Tuberou-
losis in Maryland made an exhaustive
study of the situation and reported
to the Legislature of 1904 and 20 the
people of the state. This commission
urged the adoption of several much
needed health laws which were pass.
ed. Under the auspices of the COM
mission, q Tuberculosis Exposition
was held ih Mccoy hall at the Johus
Hopkins University in January, 1904,
attracting much attention and stimu-
lating public interest.
All of this work showed that Condi.
tions in Maryland were bad The
mortality from tuberculosis though
not so high as in some very bad sec
tions, is ne-seventh of the total num-
ber of deaths, and while many cities
and states are showing decreases in
their tuberculosis mortality from year
TO year, this state is remaining at
about the same point. The laws en-

not enforce themselves.
The State Commission Which was
renewed for another two years, felt
that, without public approval, they
would probably fail 20 secure an ap-
propriation by the Legislature of 1906,
sufficiently large enough TO provide
adequate sanatorium treatment for
needy conservatives, in short that
what was needed TO defeat Tubercu-
losis in Maryland was a strong ogani
zed movement of education partioipat-
ed in by all classes of people. Hence
a call for voluntary association was
issued. and last December the State
Association was organized for the
threefold purpose:
/. To spread information concerning
tuberculosis and the simple means
which should be adopted for its con
troll
2. To cooperate with existing char
liable agencies in extending the work
of nursing and instruction.
3. To encourage the adoption by
State aud Municipality of the most
enlightened measures for the treatment
of cases Iof Tubeoufosis among those
who are unable to provide properly
for themselves.

gineers and persons interested in ma
Tine transportation are awatinr with
great interest the arrival OF the new
Cunard liner Carmauia, which euioys
the distinction of being the first tur-
bine steamship of ocean going size.
Turbine ships have been Ia use for
several years in British waters. but
the ships built after tho new system
were all small coast ships and were
scarcely more than experiments on a
small scale, 10 test the efficiency and
possibilities of the turbine system.
The CarluaDia is on her way TO this
port and is expected 10 come in sight
tonight or tomorrow morning. The
new ship is commanded by Can't.
John PritcEard. formerly of the Caro-.
MIA, of the same line Her arrival in
this port will mark the beginning OF
an important epoch in the evolution
of steamship development.
The Carmania is a sister ship OF the
Caronia and correspond with the lat.
ter in every detail excepting the mo-
tive power. The Carmania has tur-
bine engines and triple screws, willie
the Caronia has reciprooating or piston
engines with double screws. The
Carmania was launched at Clydebank,
near GLASGOW, on February /, this
year. She was built 10y the construo.
tors of the Caronia and represents tho
most modern ideas in ship building.
She is 67S feet long, 20 beam, and
OF 81, 900 tons register. She has a dis

NAVY SELECTS new CAPTAIN.
Chooses Next Years Leader of The
Foot Ball Team.

The members of the football team
of the Naval Academy have elected
Herbert l.. Spencer, of Duluth, MINI.
to be captain of the team for the sea-
son Of 1906. Spencer Is the youngest
man who has ever had this honor at
the Academy, being not yet 10 years
of age. He weighs IA pounds in
close training.
The selection is specially good
one, Spencer being a hard and reli-
able player, but particularly quiet and
clean in his play. He las had two
years experience as left halfback on
the team aud was a substitute during
his first season as a midshipman. His
total gains in yards during the last
two seaoDs have probably been greater
than any other player on the team and
be is also fine defensive player.
1t is thought that IL the experts had
more opportunity to zee his play they
would award him at least the position
Of substitute on the All-American
team.

HIS FIRST TRIP ON A FLYER.
Experience Of COlOred Man On A.
W. & B. Fast Train

An Instance Of the fast time by the
a. w. q b. railroad on their new
through train service between Annap-
oils aud Baltimore. was clearly demon
strated this morning when the express
train leaving BALTIMORE at 9.O5
stopped at Odenton and took on some
passengers for Annapolis, among whom
was an old darkey who had perhaps
never been on a flyer before.
AS the train got away from the sta
tlon at Odenton on jump. and cane
tearing down the road. the old darkey
looked in astonishment A station
was passed and no stop was made, an
other sped by and as the third rural
waiting platform was being shot by
the old negro could stand il no longer
Approaching the conductor, he ex.
claimed: Lord, Cap. is datiengineer
done broke loose wifi dat ingine, ain {
he never going to stop He must be
dat man dat broke de record for ingine
running in Baltimore. Deed / don {
wanta stay on dis var tram. Cent
you stop 'er and let me git of Naixt
thing | no I'll be landed in some corn
field. -
Upon being informed that the train
would not stop until Annapolis was
reached. the old darkey crept back to
his seat and crouched 1own almost
under it so his eyes would not behold
the flying stations that were being
passed, and which he had been used to
see standing stationary when train
approached them. Arriving at An
napolis the half scared old darkey, in
getting off the train, exclaimed !:
" Lord rs glad dis var train done
stopped and | kin git off; and rs
neber goin' to git on no more''
The train left Odenton at 9 80 and
arrivedat Annapolis on time. at 800.
