PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3.-The Phil

of tuberculosis by officially classing
this disease among contagious all
ments.
This means that consumption is to
be treated, with notifications, the same
as diphtheria, scarlet fever and small

bureau, today sent TO every physician
in this city blanks to be filled out and

said by DR.. Abbott, will under no cir
cumstances be made public, so that
physicians may make the reports with
out fear Of incurring the resentment
of sensitive patients. With this espion-
age in force the department hopes to

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 3.-New
danger confronts the statehood bill in
the fight that will arise in the senate
tomorrow when 1t is attempted to
carry out the program of the steering
committee and make it the unfinished
business in preference to the pure food
bill whose supporters claim has the
right of way.
Several northwestern Republican sem
ators and most of the Democratic sena-
tors, it is said will stand by the pure
food bill and vote against displacing
it with the statehood measure. The
Republican friends of pure food are
favorable to the statehood bill, but
insist that the other measure must be
disposed of before statehood is made
the unfinished business. If the pure
food bill wins the contest there will be
much talking on 1t, thus greatly in
creasing the chance that there will not
be time for consideration of statehood
and getting to vote on 1t before the
fourth of March. II statehood wins,
il will make the advocates of pure food,
who are now friendly to statehood, un-
friendly to that measure. Thus, the
chances of the latter seem bound to
be adversely affected in any event

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Jan g.
The boilers of the big towboat Defend
er blew up In the Ohio river today and
out Of a crew of twenty-eight only ten
or twelve have been rescued alive and
they are injured
In 81 very few minutes the big steam
er was a mass of flames, the fire even
spreading to the twenty barges In
tow.
The boat was in charge of Captain
James II. Woodruff of Pittsburg, who
was hurled into the river by the explo-
sion, but was later picked up, not seri-
ously injured.
The only dead body yet recovered
and identified is that of Thomas Duffy
of Pittsburg, a fireman. Another dead
body is that of a fireman from Coro-
polls, Pa, name unknown.
Robert Holland of Pittsburg and Jo-
seph Moore of Oakland, Pa, were
picked up By the rescuing parties and
are now in the city hospital. They are
horribly injured and can give no de-
tails of the accident.
An engineers young son is said to
have been killed and one woman who
was aboard, name unknown, is horri-
bly, injured.
The steamer burned for over an hour
and the smoldering hulk settled down
just above the city wharf boat.
The Defender was owned by the
Pittsburg Towboat company.
The victims recovered from the dis
aster were taken to the different hos
pitfalls and private houses and are in
such condition that nothing of an in
telligent nature regarding the occur
renee can be had from them.

IMPORTANT TESTIMONY
IN DUNSMUlR WILL CASE
Witness Contradicts Testimony He
Gave in Former Hearing in
Victoria

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3.-Hereafter
the hearing of the testimony in the
Dunsmuir will contest before Courte-
nay Bennett, British consul general
acting as crown commissioner, will be
in open court. This was determined at
todays session, before the hearing of
witnesses began.
]. A. Low, formerly manager in this
city of r. Dunsmuirs Sons, and who
was one of the witnesses to the will,
was on the stand most of the day.
His direct examination was conducted
by A. p. Luxon, who succeeded in Sc
curing statement from the witness
that at the time he signed the will
as a witness he knew it was will. AT
the hearing in Victoria he testified that
he signed the document without know
ing in the least what it was. This
change in testimony is very important,
as under the California law it is
necessary to have two witnesses to a
will who know that they are acting in
that capacity. The witness was cross
examined by Sir Charles Tupper.

PLAN TO ABOLISH
CANAL COMMISSION
BILL TO BE INTRODUCED IN
HOUSE TODAY
GIVES PRESIDENT CONTROL
Measure Also Provides That Chief
Executive Shall Make Annual
Report to Congress
on Work

Special TO The Herald.
WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan 3.-The
expected attack on the Panama canal
commission will begin Immediately in
the house of representatives. Repre-
sentative Mann of Chicago, member
of the committee on interstate COM
inerce, has prepared bill which he
is expected to introduce tomorrow that
embodies the views of Chairman Hep
burn of the committee which visited
Panama i'm November. The bill re-
peals section seven of the Spooner act
or June 2S, 1909, which created the
canal commission, and provides that
the president shall have control OF
operations on the canal employing
such agents and assistants as may be
necessary until the end of the next
congress.
The Mann bill also provides that the
president shall make an annual report
to congress and shall submit estimates
of the amount that can be judiciously
expended on the canal for T;ie sue
ceeding fiscal year. The purpose of
the bill in limiting the authority OF
the president and requiring an annual
report and estimates of expenditures is
to make sure that the whole canal sit
uation shall be brought UP for review
in the next congress.
The members of the house committee
On comm, arce who uoada tho trip to
Panama in the fall are practically
unanimous in the opinion that the pres
ent canal commission should be abol-
ished and a more business-like way
found of supervising the construction of
the canal. If the Mann bill should pass
Wallace control on construction for the
next two years at least. This would
be the best thing that, could happen,
according to the view Of the members
of the house who have visited the
.isthmus,a
Ii is Understood that there would be
strong opposition in the senate to the
abolition of the commission. Senator
Allison of Iowa is a brother-in-law of
Admiral Walker, present chief of the
commission, and he is expected to re-
sist the displacement of the admiral.
This relationship of the Iowa senator
to Admiral Walker is probably the rea-
son why Chairman Hepburn of the
house commerce committee, who is also
an Iowa man, did not prepare the bill

MAY BE NO CAUCUS
AssembIyman Goodrich's Effort to OBJ

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 3.-That there
may be no caucus over the United
States senatorship was made evident
today when an effort made by Assem-
blyman Goodrich of Pasadena 70 Sc
cure a full list of signatures for a cau-
Gus failed dismally. The best that
Goodrich could do was to secure twelve
signatures to his petition. On all sides
he was met with the statement that
there was little use for a premature

leaves the question still more open
one.
After his first failure TO obtain the
signatures Of the members who are
known to be strong adherenis for the
various senatorial candidates, Good
rich promised TO renew his attempt TO
bring about a caucus date later In the
day. But so strong was the opposition
to the idea of holding a conference that
the plan was finally abandoned for the
time being.
Flint was the instigator Of the cau-
Gus petition, Goodrich being one of his
most prominent supporters. Goodrichs
action was taken as being an indica-
