Would Like to Show Here-Advancc
Agent in City.

1t is very probable, ,aHG5.gn not
certatain, that the Hagenback Wild
Animal Circus will show In Richmond
the same day that the Cole Bros.
Great United Shows are here. The
date which both circuses want is Au-
gust 7. S. Fl. Semon, who is the ad-
vance agent for the Hagenback show,
is in the city now endeavoring to ar
range date. 1t will be known for a
certainty tomorrow whether they will
come. The Hagenback shows had
booked Richmond for a stand in the
earlier part of the summer, but can
celed the engagement along with ten
other cities owing to the mixup in the
schedule of dates. After showing in
New York, where a schedule was
made, Richmond was placed back on
the list for August T. Whether or
not the Hagenback shows will come
here depends largely on whether
grounds and bill space can be secured.

Wayne County's Representa-
tive Studying Methods of
Treating tuberculosis.
HE HAS BEEN DOWN EAST
HE AND OTHER MEMBERS OF
GOV. HANLY'S COMMISSION
WILL ASK LEGISLATURE TO
BUILD HOSPITAL FOR CON.
sUMPTIvEs.
HE HAS BEEN DOWN EAS7

A dispatch from Washington, D. c.,
states that Richard N Elliott of Con-
nersville, joint representative of
Wayne and Fayette Counties has
reached the Capital after a trip with
L. F. Gage of Grandview through the
New England States and into Canada.
The two men were appointed by Gov.
ernor Hanly to study the methods of
treating consumption and report to
the next legislature. DR.. Theodore
Potter, of Indianapolis, secretary of
the commission, accompanied Elliott
and Gage on the trip of inspe ction, but
left them in New York.
The trio inspected tuberculosis hos
pitfalls in Massachusetts, New York,
New Hampshire and Canada. Mr. Ell
lott says the trip has enabled men,
bers of the commission to pick. up
many new ideas. The commission,
he says will recommend to the Cover
nor, and through him to the Legisla-
ture, that Indiana establish a tuber-
culosis hospital where the open air
tire atment for consumption can be fol-
lowed
He says has seen enough to con-
vince him that consumption can be
cured if it is taken in it's incipient
stages.
Where They are Cured.
The members of the Commission, he
says were particularly impressed with
what they saw in the New England
States, where SO many consumptives
come from the great shoe factories
and other factories to the tuberculosis
hospitals and are permanently cured
The patients are taken before the dis
ease gets much of a start, treated in
the hospitals, compelled to sleep and
work in the open air. Messrs. Elliott
and Gage are enthusiastic over the
prospect of Indiana entering this great
work of fighting the white plague.
They have made careful notes of their
observations, all of which will be en-
bodied in their report to the Cover
nor.
Senator Carl E. Wood, of Seymour,
and Senator Alex. G. Cavins, of Terre
Haute, are members of the commits
sion, but were not on this trip of in
spection BY fall the commission will
have visited practically every tuber-
culosis hospital in the United States
and will be prepared to conyipce the
State must be up and doing or she will
lag behind her sister states.

THREE BROKEN RIBS

The doctors of the Smith Intirmary
at Tompkinsville, Staten Island. have
discovered that in addition to the SER
ious injury TO the head of Samuel w.
Latham, the Hughes laundry driver,
of New Brunswick, who was thrown
from his wagon when a train hit it
last week, he has three broken ribs.
This was not known until yesterday.
According to information received
from the hospital by Mr.. Hughes, Mr..
Latham's brain is liable to- be affected
as a result of the injury to his head.
While the skull has not been fractur-
ed, as was at first supposed. it is fear
ed that there may be a blood clot on
the brain. He bled very profusely
when taken to the hospital. His mind
is not clear now and 1t times his talk
is very rambling. 1t will be some
time before it will be possible to re-
move him from the hospital TO his
home in New Brunswick.
