$1,000 persons die every year in New
York. Moreover. nearly everybody.
sick or we'll, has the pneumonia germ
in his mouth or throat during the
winter months. For this reason the
commission, of which the celebrated
DIR. Osler is a member. urges that all
possible measures be taken to re-
strict the disease by prohibiting public
eXpectoration.
Out of the eighty healthy persons
examined by DR.. William II. Park,
forty had the real germs in their
throat secretions and eleven. others
had germs which were not typical.
Out OF seventy-four pneumonia pat
tents examined, fifty-nine had the
germ in their mouths. In the case
OF nine pneumonia patients the germ
was not found.
ProfessorLeo Berger of Mount 81
ami hospital found the germ in the
mouths of thirty-nine our-of seventy
eight healthy persons.
Professor Carter Wood of Col
umbia found that the sunlight kills
the pneumonia germ within an hour

According to the journal referred

beets 10000 acres of ground. This
acreage II is estimated will yield
979.000 long tons. Last year the
acreage was $4,000 and the Tonnage

in a single years time is one of the

THE FIGHT
The Sturdy Little Dane
Too Much for Britt,
Whose Finish Game
In 18th Round

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. lin
fight that will long stand in a
class of its own in the history of ring
contests. Battling Nelson. the sturdy
little Dane from Illinois. knocked out
James Edward Britt OF San Francisco
at Colma Saturday afternoon. The
end came in the eighteenth round
and was a fairly won victory This
is simple statement of the result:
the story of the battle itself furnish
es a thrilling story. No element that
goes to give the fight the superlative
title of greatest was missing. The
surroundings, the crowd. the known
bitterness of the men toward each
other. the uncertainty to whether
there would be a fight at all up to
within a brief quarter of an hour
before the fight actually began, the
cleverness, gameneSs and endurance
displayed by the two boxers-these
are what made the fight a great one
1t was the story of many another
ring contest-the success of the
strong, sturdy, enduring fighter a
gainst a clever. cool boxer This.
in brief, is a description of Nelson S
and Britt's ring characteristics, res
pectively. From the very first mo-
ment of the fight until Referee
Graney finished the count of ten.
Nelson forced the fighting. Though
battered and innumerable bruising
blows upon the face and body, and
at times very tired, Nelson never for
one moment gave ground. He came
back after every vicious attack by
the clever Britt. Always ready to
exchange blows. For these rushing.
persistent attacks of Nelson, Britt
could find no effective counter. The
Californian tried every blow known
to him-and he apparently knows
them ALTO stop his tireless OPP
ponent. In every way he failed. II
is true Britt punched Nelson severely,
knocking him down once and stag
gering him several times: but never
was he able to beat him back and
change the aspect of the fight
The total gate receipts for the fight
as officially given out by the man
ayers amount to $34. .069 The crowd
which filed the Colma arena to wit
ness the battle had been roughly es-
timated at l 5000. The money taken
in was stacked and counted this
evening and the total figure made
public shortly after s o'clock.

BEEF TRUSTS METHODS.
How They Compelled Shippers to Ac
cept Their Terms.

Chicago, June 27.-The work of the
federal grand jury investigating the
beef industry showed that the mem
bers of the inquisitorial body have
been playing the part of detectives In
finding witnesses who may enlighten
them on certain points concerning
the buying of cattle by the packers.
AS a result of this detective work by
the Jurors, Frederick Wood of Hamp-
shire, Ill.,, and E. C. Scholes, cattle
feeder from Burlington, ILL.,, testified
before the jury and explained the
troubles a cattle shipper has selling
his livestock in the Chicago market.
J. A. Ridgley, general freight agent
for the Louisville & Nashville, was an
other witness together with the two
other traffic men, whose identity was
closely guarded by the federal Off
GERS.
After leaving the jury room, Schoics
said: 81 told the jury that the buy
ers in the Chicago market OF live
stock seemed to have off days and
regular days for bidding. They gen
orally bought on Wednesday and Sat
urdays at the yards
Scholes intimated that on one day
one of the buyers would bid and II
the shipper was dissatisfied he would
wait until the next day only to be
confronted with similar bid, and sc
on until he was finally forced to sell
his cattle or have the profits eaten
up by feeding charges at the yards.

Mr.. Kennedy moved the adoption of

was In the constitution to stay. The
