NEW YORK, May 4.--Mr. and Mrs.
John w. Harrison, a couple nearing
the seventies, have started with a load
of New Testaments and potato peelers
to drive to San Francisco. The jour-
ney will be made in the old canvas

thirty-fve hundred mile tour to At
lanta. Ga, and back last year.
The potato peelers, which are put to-
gether in the Harrisons' home at No.
so East 116th street, and finished on
the road, are expected to pay part of
the expenses of the journey. Mr.. Har-
rison breaches the gospel but under
no circumstances will he take up a
collection from his audiences. The
Journey is made primarily for health.
IL realized few years ago that I
wasn't good for much at home and
hadn't long to live," explained Mr.. Har-
rison. Il was a sick man and my wife
said that I must do something to re-
gain my health. We got the camping

and built myself the same wagon we
shall start out in tomorrow morning.
For the last three weeks I have been
at work rebuilding and strengthening
it. Our first voyage was great sue
cess. We have both enjoyed splendid
health ever since.
Enhances? We started with $13 in
cash and potato peelers that cost us
$3.50. We had 800 in Baltimore, $2.70
when we reached Atlanta and $100 when
we got home So that the whole jour-
ney only cost us $50 nett

years.
He is a sturdy Lancashireman, with
a decided burr in his accent. He has
made two or three little fortunes in his
life and has lost them. When he
reaches San Francisco he may sell his
horse, store his wagon and continue his
journey to the antipodes.
The wagon started with two heavy
cases of New Testaments. donated by
the Bible society, and five thousand
unfinished potato peelers. The latter

NEW YELLOW FEVER
CASES At THE CANAL
Conditions Said to Be Abnormal, l.,
Owing to Water Famine and
Bad Weather

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The office
of administration of isthmian canal
affairs has received cablegram from
Governor Davis reporting that r. r.
West of this city, deputy auditor of the
canal zone, is i'll there with yellow
fever, but that his condition is now
comfortable. The cablegram reports
two other cases, Charles Leech and
NJ. NJ. Barrett.
The news of these new fever cases,
coming so soon after the recent ia
vorable report of Governor Davis, has
made a disagreeable impression for
the reason that the new patients are
of class of employees regarded as
intelligent and competent to observe
all the rules of hygiene and follow
closely the well-established method
of protection against the fever.
Recent reports from the isthmus
however, show that conditions are abb
normally bad, owing to what is almost
a water famine and to bad weather
1t is believed by the officials here that
the conditions will improve steadily.
Within a few weeks the new water
supply system, bringing pure noun
tain water into Panama, will be in
operation and when the city Is paved
with vitrified brick and severed it
will be the cleanest city in the tropics.

TWINE FIRMS ENGAGE
IN A GREAT BATTLE
Two Factions Fighting for Control OF
the Pacific Coast
Trade
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 4.-The Call
tomorrow will say: A great fight is on
for the market of binding twine on the
Pacific coast. On one side are arrayed
the Portland Cordage company and
the Tubbs Cordage company of this
city, home manufacturers of cordage
and twine. On the other side are the
International Harvester company and
its leading agencies on the Pacific
coast
The trouble all comes from an at
tempt, as reported, on the part of the
International Harvester company to
take away the trade completely from
the Tubbs Cordage company and the
Portland Cordage company.
Deprived of the agencies Of the In
ternational Harvester company to mar
ket their goods the program of the
coast manufacturers is to market on
their own account, through retailers,
through agents of their own or in any
other way feasible.

geIes

The Anti-Saloon league fired the
opening gun Of the present war against
the liquor interests of Los Angeles at
large mass meeting held last night
at the Asbury Methodist church, and
now the campaign may be said to be
on in earnest.
Will A. Harris addressed the meet
ing.
Mr.. Harris spoke on the question of
temperance and stated that the clos
ing Of saloons would not injure Los An
geles, but ultimately improve 1t.
The speaker stated that the clearing
house receipts were greater last week
than in the history of the city and the
building permits of the past month the
largest during the year. He attributed
this marked prosperity not to the move
of the Antl-Saloon league, but to show
that the present agitation Is not injur-
ing business. He stated that the money
now expended in saloons would be in
vested In business enterprises. He
cited the railroads, which he said were
temperance organizations in themselves
and the care of the employers to secure
temperate employees.

SPINAL MENINGITIS

By Associated Press
NEW YORK, May 5.-Three deaths
from cerebro spinal meningitis have
occurred within the space of three
hours at Bellevue hospital. -Four other
fatal cases were reported to the board
of health by city physicians during the
past few days. These figures indicate
a big falling off in the disease.
Twenty-six beds in the meningitis
pavilion of the hospital are still filed
with patients.
In support of his theory that children
must have proper nourishment in order
to withstand the ravages of meningitis,
Commissioners Darlington will today
take up with the committee of phys
icians the matter of instructing the
parents of school children as to what
food should be provided them and for
the morning meal particularly.
This is a most important question"
he said. There are hundreds of school
children in New York who do not get
the right kind of food for breakfast. AS
a result we have so many half nour-
ished little ones starting out each day
in condition that makes them sus-
ceptible to almost any disease"
