Probe Plague Deaths.

In reply to a resolution adopted
today by the senate, asking informa-
ton into the death OF ten persons
from plague at Manila. Secretary
Taft submitted such information as
he had on the subject The secretary
says inmates of the Bilibid prison
were inoculated with bubonic plague
germs in mistake for cholera virus.
with which DIR. Richard P. Strong. at
one time an army surgeon, and now
head OF the biological laboratory at
Manila, had been experimenting.
Governor Smith in his cabled re-
port says 1t is believed the plague
culture became mixed with the anti
cholera serum through the misplace
ment of one Of the bottles by a Wis
!tor, and states that under his direc-
ton a close inquiry is being made to
ascertain the exact nature of the pre-
cautions being taken to prevent such
accidents.

il is known that it will aggregate in
Its total appropriations sum equal
20 that OF any other river and har-
Dor bill, ever passed by the congress
and probably will exceed the amount
carried by the bill which was talked

Age Limit Cut Down.

LAS REPRESENTATIVE of organized
labor, am not opposed to co-operat-
ing with the organization of employ
ers, but ! wish to state few facts. In
our endeavor TO get the present law
enacted we were opposed by the as
ISOLATION of manufacturer and fore
ed to modify our bill in order TO get
1t through. They were successful in
forcing us to cut down the age limit
from sixteen to fourteen years, and
our original eight-hour day was ex-
tended to ten by the efforts of that
same association. see no reason
why We should not work together now
but I want credit to go where creds
is due E"
Mr.. Quarles arose and said he felt
called upon to defend his organiza-
ton against this attack. which he did
briefly, and no opportunity was given
Mr.. Barclay for further speech, as
Mr.. Bernard Flexner and others took
mp other points for discussion <
District Committeeman.
The committees as far as they have
been completed by President Osborne
