CRUSADE AGAINST CONSUMPTION

Organization Of District Nursing Assoel-
alton In Brattleboro Urged by Or. Al
fred Worcester of Boston.
DIR. Alfred Worcester of Boston open
ed the series of mothers meetings held
in the Congregational chapel Wednesday
with an address upon THE Crusade
against Consumption" He spoke of the
a tragedy but q disgrace, because 1t has
been found that the disease can be
stamped out when promptly treated. and
patients can be cared for in hospitals or
homes without any danger of injecting
other people, The disease is allowed to
perpetuate itself only through the mex
cusable negligence of towns which
should take it in hand. DR.. Worcester
found in Massachusetts a man who was
doing a thriving business in tuberculous
cattle. He sought them out and found
that they were made into sausages by a
firm that supplied three among the best
known and best esteemed hotels in Bos-
ton.
Where public officials thoroughly fumi-
gate houses that have become infected
with tuberculosis and patients are cared
for in accordance with the simple princi-
pies of the modern treatment of con-
sumption the disease falls off
The disease does not spread in or from
tuberculosis hospitals. The oldest of
these has been in operation so years, in
London, and but one nurse has contracted
the disease during that time. DIR. Wor-
cester has sent nurses already affected
with tuberculosis to go on duty in the
tuberculosis hospital at Rutland, Mass,
and they have recovered in the course
of their work.
DR.. Worcester urged upon the large
audience of women present the formation
of district nursing association, to I'M
dertake provision of nurses for all in the

FEARS NO. INQUIRY
BOARD OF ASSESSORS WILL VEL
COME INVESTIGATION.

According to statements made by men,
bers OF the District board Of assessors to-
day, they will welcome a congressional in
vestigation into their Office and the methods
Of assessments adopted by them, as Is
promised by Representative E. D. Morrell
of Pennsylvania. The assessors declare
that the District system Of tax assessment,
as has been managed by them, is absolute
ly fair and honest, and that there is no con-
ditton existing which would warrant any
suspicion.
They say they are prepared to face any
investigation and ventured to state that.
after it is over. the tax assessment in the
District will be found to be entirely salts
factory. They say Mr.. Morrell has appar-
emily been misinformed.
Mr.. Morrell has been quoted as saying
that many evils have grown out Of the
present method OF assessing property in
Washington, and to correct these condi-
tons he will introduce a resolution in the
House Saturday next which will call for
the congressional investigation. The men,
about this question today admitted that
in certain unimpOrtant cases complaints
have been made concerning assessments,
but they contend that the sweeping inves-
tigation promised by Representative Nor
rell is not warranted by any facts within
their knowledge.
w. w. Griffin chairman Of the board, and
who is slated by the Commissioners to sue
ceed Assessor DarneilIe wnen the latter
steps out OF the Office the last Of this
month stated this morning that 1t is yet to
be shown that the board has even given adj
vantage to one section over another or to
an individual in assessing property.
1.-THE board Of assessors" he said, Gin
this capacity stands on its record, and
instead Of attempting to offer an apology
for its acts is anxious for a full investi-
cation. Such an inquiry viii clear up
many MISUNDERSTANDING which seem to
exist Such a step will prove satisfactory
not only to the board, but to the entire
citizenship of the District"
Mr.. Griffin in referring to Mr.. Morrell's
criticism that the average assessed valua-
ton of apartment houses In the Dis
trict is placed at only $1.705, declared that
this is Incorrect. He contends that the aver
age assessed value of this kind Of property
is more than 1000.

HIT THE NEW SPELLING
CHAMP CLARK CALLED THE "3OOn
A "PITIFUL THING"

Simplifed spelling was the text Of talk in
the House this afternoon. Champ Clark Of
Missouri, who usually says what he thinks,
and he thinks good deal. called the Presi-
dents three-hundred word list Of preferred
words "pitiful thing"
If the proposition were before the House
to change the whole system Of spelling to
but what he would cast his vote for 1t.
out 800 words and try to start q great
spelling reform on so f1imsy foundation
He thought that real phonetic system
would result in an enormous saving of time.
would make shorthand as easy or easier to
learn than the present system OF long
hand writing, and more important still.
would save from three to five years of
study in the life of every citizen Of the
country.
Representative Gillette OF Massachusetts,
broke in for moment to say that he
thought as long as a start had to be made
somewhere, 1t might as well be made with
the Presidents three hundred.
Before Mr. Gillette sat down he and Mr.
Clark and John Sharp Williams had a high
ly entertaining academic discussion of the
pronunciation of the word calf in various
sections OF the country.
Mr.. Clark wound up his little talk with
the assertion that this preferred three hum
bred made a lot of confusion without doing
any good. He commended the appropriation
committee for bringing in the proviso for
q return to the old standard.
I'VE can all chew over 1t on the floor
now," said the Missourian as he sat down.

usual election Of directors Will be held. and
in addition the stockholders will be given
the particulars Of the business done the

Only In its volume, but In the amount Of

exception the twelve months now coming
to a close have been prosperous, and that
the financial institutions OF the city have
made money.
It liz not likely that there VIII be changes
made In the amount Of the annual dtvt-
dends paid, but 1t Is probable that In most
cases the increased profits OF the business
VIII be shown by additions to the surplus.
Just before the beginning OF the year
that will end on the list OF next January
the City National Bank began its career.
but with that exception there have been no
additions to the number OF national BANKS
and trust companies doing business In this
city
Several savings banks have been organ
lied during that period. 50 that the number
Of savings institutions In the city Is larger
then ever before. The operation OF the teg1s-
lation which became q law last June plac-
ing all Incorporated institutions dong
banking business in the city under the su-
pervisfon OF the controller OF the currency
Is looked upon as being OF the most saiu-

ALGIERS, December 1O.-Behanzin, form

Algeria, today. His doctors had consider
able trouble in treating his case as his
wives insisted on tasting the medicine pre-

it they gave 1t to him. II they did not like
It they did not give it. Yesterday they
nearly sufrocated him by trying to stop q

When the French conquered Dahomey and
put an end to King Behanzin's cruelties, he
was exiled to Martinique, where he was
we'll provided for and lived surrounded by
his devoted wives. But he tired OF exile,
and, after petitioning In vain to be allowed
to return to Dahomey, he was allowed last
April to change his residence to Algeria,
where he has since lived in the companion
ship Of other distinguished exiles from
Madagascar and AMMAN.
