tendsto resign the office Of Senator In
the Congress of the United States
seems too good to be true. In the alb
ssnce Of unimpeschable evidence we
cannot believe that Plat is capable Of
rendering 80 great service to the peo-
pie Of New York. I. is contrary to his
nature and to the fixed habits OF life
time.
The rumors Of Piatt's contemplated
resignation are based on nething more
substantial than the latest scandal in
which he is Involved. But Plat has
been mixed up in similar scandals for
the last twenty-five years, and none Of
them ever quenched his thirst for Of
fee or Stacked his lust for power. One
scandal more or less could not mean
much to him, yet II there 10 the remot-
eat possibility that he might be induc-
ed to retire from the Office which he has
filed 20 contemptibly he deserves the
active encouragement OF all the decent
cltizens of the country.
The Fifty-ninth Congress viii con-
vene for its final session on next
Monday, AMI unless Plat resIgns In
the meantime New York will continue
to be unrepresented. Although Eena
tor Depew has announced his inten-
ton Of resuming his official duties this
il only CHASTITY joke. There are nc
official duties at Washington which
the Senator Is capable Of resuming and
his resignation is hardly less desirable
| than Platt's.
| New York's position In the United
States Senate is pitiful. The greatest
State in the Union has been without
/, representation for more than . year
and without adequate representation
for many years. Although the lat
. session Of Congress was the most I'm
portant in many respects that has been
held since the days Of reconstruction,
!, there was nobody in the United States
Senate to speak for the people Of New
York.
And when Congress reconvenes the
Empire State will still be unrepresent.

whose gray hairs even cannot COM
mand respect and who could not poll

the people will hold the title and bear
the name, but that is all. This situa-
tion must continue until 1t is relieved

/ vision of the Federal Constitution
!. fixes the term Of a United States -Sena-
tor at six years.
| 1t is not conceivable that the Senate
would either expel Plat or Depew The
power of expulsion is one which the
I. Senate never exercises but with the
greatest reluctance. New Yock cannot
compel either Of its Senators to resign.
But the Legislature might property

How to stamp out of existence tuber-
culcsis and prevent its spread was the
object of an interesting and important
meeting held in the New Century Club
last evening. The purpose of the
meeting was to organize an association
to prevent the spread of tuberculosis
in Delaware. The meeting was opened
with prayer by Bishop Coleman.
DR.. John j. Black of New Castle,
who has made a study of tuberculosis,
presided, and after he had explained
the nature of the business to be con-
sidered, introduced Talcott Williams,
IL. ID.
After a few preliminary remarks the
speaker called attention to the fact
that consumption was formerly CON
sidered incurable, but that such was
not the case at this time. He declared
that in this State there were from 600
to 800 deaths from consumption each
year, but that it would be possible TO
stamp out this disease in from 20 to 30
years. He said the purpose of the
meeting was to make an effort TO drive
tuberculosis out of existence. BY or
ganized efforts, be said, it was an alb
solutely sure thing that proper and
continued effort would meet tubercu-
losis and overcome it. He gave it out
that in most cases consumption was
contracted in domestics by being forced
to sleep in rooms and amid surround
ings that were calculated to encourage
the growth of tuberculosis Improper
surroundings of factory employees and
stenographers having to work iu
poorly ventilated rooms, the speaker
said, was responsible for many cases
and for the development OF the disease.
DR.. Williams told how the eminent
physicians and societies had buffeted
hack disease until consumption re.

mains almost the last one to combat.
Its prevention, he said, meant its
banishment from the State.
DIR. Lawrence j. Flick of Philadel-
phia took up the argument and said
he would show his hearers that con-
sumption was a contagious disease, but
one that was easy to combat, much
easier than most people think. Iuber-
culosis, he said, was easy, because it
attacks only broken-down tissue. De-
stroying this broken-do tissue, ex-
pelled by the person affected, was an
absolute necessity TO protect others.
He said thousands of people have
tuberculosis and that nature
cures about 70 per cent Of the cases.
Through the efforts to prevent the
disease the mortality, he said, had
been reduced two-thirds. He declared
that the first step was for the State to
provide a cure for the cases not con-
tagious, which is simple. Some pro
vision should be made to give the
patients proper air. He advised the
building of a sanitarium for the treat
ment OF such cases. Many patients
would be able to pay for treatment,
but provision must be made for those
who had not the money. DIR. Flick
told of the establishment of a sani-
tarium in White Haven, Conn. In an
old barn upon farm which cost
81, 500, beds were placed and the doors
thrown open. For five years they had
not two dollars TO rub together. but
now they have a place worth $50, 600.
He advised that il nothing better
could be done a shack should be built
and patients treated there at once
He said it was a crime todo nothing
to save his brothers. life when he
knows that it is possible to both cure
and prevent tuberculosis.
On motion of Bishop Coleman, a
vote of thanks was given to Drs. Flick
and Williams for their interesting ad-
dresses.
DR.. Black stated that associated
charities We're responsible for the
meeting and proposed to organize a
/ White League at once for the preven.
tion of tuberculosis.
Bishop Coleman stated that he pre-.
ferred the. name of Delaware Anti.
tuberculosis Society and moved that
that be the name and that organiza.
tion be effected at once. The motion
was carried.
Representing the societies interested
in the Organization Of the society
Bishop Coleman presented a draft of
constitution and bylaws, which were
read and adopted

SAYS PIGS ARE STARVING.

George Waldemeier, who has about
$50 pigs, on his place, on New Castle
avenue Just beyond the city limits, called
at the office Of the Board OF Health today
and complained that his pigs are starving
because the board has shut off the supply
of garbage which he has been receiving
from the city, with which 10 feed bis pigs
the board having intercepted garbage
wagons not taking garbage TO the ere
matory and requiring them 30 90 10 the
crematory. Waldcmeier SAYS the supply
WAS shut off several days ago and the
hunger Of his pigs knows no bounds. One
he said was so hungry that last night il
ate a litter of young ones. He begged
Secretary Wigglesworth of the Board of
Health TO do something for his relief.
According TO his statement he received
garbage from one of the city contractors,
some time ago, when the crematory was
idle, because of repairs, and that no
charge was made for il. He also said
that he asked that he be supplied regu-
larly and one of the contractors agreed
10 haul him two loads a week gratuitously,
and he has been receiving the garbage
in that manner ever since. until now,
when the city authorities are requiring
all garbage To be taken to the crematoy,
as the law provides
Mr.. Wigglesworth told Waldemeier
that he did not want 90 be the means of
starving the pigs TO death and he would
bring the matter 10 the attention Of the
fboard Immediately, with the recom-
mendation that 10 days be allowed in
which 10 dispose of the pigs
Mr.. Wirgloswofth told q reporter OF
Every Evening that a similar appeal had
been made by two other owners Of pigs,
James Strohmeier and a man named
Thompson. whose places are also south
of the city line. and he thought the SAND
concession would be made 20 them.
II is the intention Of the board, how
ever. to insist on an of the garbage being
taken to the crcmatory as soon as arrange
ments can be made which will not result
in cruelty TO dumb animals
Secretary Wigglosworth examined the
new garbage specifications today They
are now being given out at the Office OF
City Council. to people who desire TO bid
for new contracts The bids are 20 be
opened on June 2Sth. Some who have
looked into the matter are of the opinion
that the difference in the terms OF the
contracts three. years for collection and
nine wears for disposal-will not be agree
able To some who would like 90 bid for col
lection and disposal. as terms of the same
length would be better for them.
