Compulsory Registration Claimed to

number of prominent physicians and
members of the Medical Society Of the

Ing Congress to provide supervision OF
such cases by the Health Department
and the free examination OF sputum.
The opposition 10 the proposed bill was

Medical Society. who declared that re-
suits from compulsory registration in
New York city failed absolutely to show
what District Health Officer woodward.

for tan effective means of stamping
out tuberculosis"
Dr. Nichols said that the death rate

of the cases. while the District without
such registration had record of only IS
per cent.
DR.. ]. b. Gregg Custis spoke in the
same vein. adding that physicians
should be the best judges of measures
TO check the spread OF the disease He
strongly urged that the compulsory
registration feature OF the bill be
stricken out because ii would result in
great modification to poor people who
did not have sufficient means to provide
treatment and must be compelled to
submit TO many annoyances from people
who regard consumption with unneces-

From the National Capitol.

1t developed this week, during
a debate in the House, that
Governor Magoon of Nebraska
has never drawn one cent OF the
SO, 900 salary he is entitled to
as minister to the Republic OF
Panama. With true simplicity,
be has managed to struggle along
on $1,000 a year, the salaries of
his other official positions as
Canal commissioner and governor
of the Canal Zone. With Spartan
resolution Mr.. Magoon waved
aside the $4,000 plum that each
year came within his reach.
But if he lost pecuniarly he must
have felt that his reward came
in the shape of commendation on
the floor of the House. But the
versatile Nebraskan is not to
have his duties lesseued in any
way, but rather they are to be
Increased. When he isn't attend
ing to executive matters in con-
nection with the building of
the canal, governing the zone or
playing diplomacy with Panama
authorities, he is to utilize his
spare time in commanding the
naval force that has been sent
down to see that the Panamans
do not kick up too much of row
when their elections are held.
Orders have been issued to naval
officers and men to report to
Governor Magoou for instructions

The University of Nebraska is
anxious to encourage Japanese
and Chinese students to attend
chat institution to study the laws
and absorb the learning of the
United States. The faculty this
week introduced a petition to Con-
gress favoring measure calculated
to bring this scheme about.
Congressman Mccarthy acted as
sponsor for the petition, which
was referred to the Committee on
Forei II Affairs.

The conference report on the
Statehood bill is exactly what
has been expected all along.
1t provides for the admission of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory
as one state, aud leaves to vote
the question of whether the
people of Arizona and New
Mexico desire to join their
fortunes and enter the family of
states. The vote is to be taken
at the next regular election of a
delegate to Congress. However,
the conference report may strike
a snag in the Senate. Senator
Foraker is firm in his position
that New Mexico and Arizona
must be eliminated from the bill,
as they were in the original
measure. He claims to have
enough support to enforce his
demand, and as Mr.. Foraker is
known as a staunch and deter
mined fighter the fate of the con-
ference report is in doubt.
/ / /
While the rate bill has lost the
center of the Congressional stage,
it has by no means been retired
into the wings. There is con-
siderable interest manifested in
just what changes the conference
committee of the Senate and
House will make in the measure,
but it is not believed that these
changes will affect it vitally.
The exposures made at Kansas
City, Philadelphia and in other
places Of gross violations of the
rebate laws, prove that the real
virtue of the new law lies in the
added strength it gives to the
provisions prohibiting these
transportation abuses. With
logical rate-making power vested
in the Commission, together with
provisions for comprehensive
court review, there remains moth
ing in the bill for the conferees to
fall out over, except few minor
points that easily can be
arranged.

1t remained for an ordinary,

counterfeiters this week almost

workmen on the new Union

hours turning out spurious coin.
The police raided the cabin of

FARMERS MAY STRIKE.
Trouble Threatened by the 900, 600
Members of the American
Society of Equity

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb ga strike
of the 100000 farmers composing the
American Society of Equity, an or
ganiZation with headquarters in In
dianapolis, has been called for March
1. Everyone who responds to this
call will agree to withhold from mar
keting any agricultural products ex-
cepting at prices that are up to the
level that has been decreed by the Of
ficers of this organization. The word
is being passed through all the wheat
growing states and the response that
is being made is said to be causing
considerable concern on the part Of
market men and spectators. A rep
resentative of recognized authority
in the wheat trade was in Indianap-
oils Friday trying to ascertain what re-
Spouse the call was receiving.
The organization claims that the
producer ought to get at least one
dollar bushel for wheat, no matter
what may be the size of the crop. 1t
is claimed that the price of any agri-
cultural commodity can be controlled
by controlling the marketing. The
call for the strike sets forth mini
mum selling price on all farm prod
ucts, prices which the agricultural
strikers claim they are entitled to and
can get if they stand together. Kan
sas and Minnesota are being flooded
with copies of this call. 1t is figured
that if these states hold out for the
higher prices that the trick will be
/ turned, as Minnesota raises a big per-
centage of the spring wheat crop and
Kansas produces controlling per-
| centage of the winter wheat crop.

HOCH IS Hanged
FOR HIS crime
MOOSE ENDS LIFE OF NOTED BIG
AMIsT AND PoIsoNER IN
JAIL At CHICAGO.
Neck Broken When Drop Falls-An-
other Attempt to Save Him from
Gallows Fails-Doomed Had Been
in Shadow of Death Three Times

Chicago, Feb. 24.-Johann Hoch,
bigamist, robber and poisoner Of wom
en-, paid the penalty of his crime Fri
day afternoon when he was hanged in
the county Jail. His neck was broken
by the fall. Hoch's body will be
cremated, in accordance with his
wish, expressed to religious advisers
just before the execution. Hoch hoped
for a reprieve to the last and resigned
himself to his fate only when the
hangman's moose frightened about his
neck. Chief Deputy Sheriff Peters read
the death warrant in the death cham
Der. Then the death march began.
Crowds flocked about the Jail, openly
gambling on Hoch's fate, many believ-
ng with the condemned man that he
would again escape the moose. Hoch's
neck was broken by the drop, and
! death followed quickly.
Final Effort Fruitless.
A final effort almost without prece-
dent in Illinois was made in Hoch's
behalf few hours before the time
set for the execution Friday. A petit
cult court by Attorneys Comerford
and Meyer asking that the federal
court interfere to save the condemned
man. The petition stated that the
state authorities were endeavoring to
execute Hoch in violation of the four
teenth amendment Of the constitution,
without due process of law.
Judge Lands denied the petition.
An appeal to the United States SUI
preme court was then asked, but not
granted. When notice was given to
the sheriff and jail officials that the
petition for federal interference had
been filed. the officials, with the con-
demned man. were about to begin the
death march to the gallows. The ex-
ecution was postponed until the court
could act on the petition. While the
effort was being made to secure an ap-
peal to the supreme court, Hoch was
| hanged.
Appeal for Dead Man
Although the death of Hoch had
/ been announced to them Attorneys
w. G. Anderson, Maher and Conner

sought and perfected and carried to

Then" said Attorney Anderson, eff
