New Treatment for Consumption.

A radical reform in the treatment
of consumption will be tried by the
state board of health. The opsonic
index theory is to be tried. The
work will be carried on in the state
labratory of hygiene under Dr. J
b. Rucker, head of the meteorological
department Sunday DIR Rucker will
remove quantity of blood from a
tuberculosis patient. With this he
will inoculate rabbit or guinea pig.
In the course of three weeks, when
the animal develops symptoms of tu-
berculosis, it will be killed and SER
um extracted from its blood. This
serum will be injected into the blood
of number of tuberculosis patients.
The idea is to strengthen the blood
corpuscles so that they can with
stand the ravages of the disease.
"The theory. said DR.. Frank B.
Tucker, president of the state board
of health, "was discussed at great
length at the recent conference of
health officers of the country in
Washington, which DR.. Hurry, secre-
tary of the board. and | attended.
We were favorably impressed with
it 1t was also discussed at consid
cradle length at recent conference
of the health officers of the state 1t
is a theory advanced and put into
practice some time ago by DR..
Wright Of London 1t is being sue
cessfully used by DR.. Webb, who
came TO Colorado Springs from Lon
don to open a sanitarium for tubercu
losis patients.
1--WE can treat but limited num-
Der. of patients at first, but we hope
to extend the work SO as to include
ultimately everybody who may be in
fected with tuberculosis. So far the
opsonic index is only a theory, but
| think it is the right theory. We
will not only use virus from guinea
pigs. but we will use a vaccine OBJ
tanned from the patients own sput
um. 1t will take some time to get
the work started, at least three weeks
being required to make the first sput-
um."

Dorothy Russell, daughter of Lii

time to come. She is today trying

How About It?

A cat delayed a fast train on the
Lake Erie at Plymouth Wednesday
for thirty-five minutes AS the train
pulled into the station a black cat
ran across the track. Frightened al
dog in its path, it sprang back on
the track and was crushed under the
wheels.
The engineer, who has been in a
recent wreck, recalled the old super
stition that cat running across the
track in front OF a moving train

vous from his recent experience was
seized with nervous prostration, and

Begging has long been illegal il
England and offenders are liable to
various terms of Imprisonment New
ertheless thousands in London alone
evade the law and live in comfortable
idleness. The annual report of the
London Mendicant society just is
sued states that it probably is no ex.
aggration to say that more than $500
900 annually is given haphazard to
beggars in the streets of London, and
that probably the average beggar
earns more than the average work
man, the society, which exists to in
vestigate the begging business, to
help deserving cases, and assist in
incorrigibles, possesses
1890 records of street beggars.

Dog Carries Dead Mans Head.

Residents of Emmett county, Mich
are excited over the grewsome dis
covery of mans head and the mys
terry surrounding the find.
A hunting dog dragged the head
of man apparently aged As years

day.. The owner of the dog trailed
back in the woods about four miles
and found the headIess trunk of a
well-dressed man, but nothing in his
pockets to identify him. The coroner
and a deputy sheriff went to the
woods and dug a hole into which
they dumped the body.

Goes to Death Giving List of Crimes.

| Standing on the gallows, awaiting
the spring of the trap that would
send him to another world to answer
for his crimes, Will Johnson of At
lanta, Ga, negro convicted and SEN
fenced to hang Friday at noon for ar
assault on Mrs. Georgia Hembree
reeled off a list of offenses which
embraced three assaults. two murders
and other outrages which were in
large part the causes of the Atlanta
riot of last September, in which fif-
teen negroes and two white persons
were victims, and when the trap was
sprung the last words of the negro
| were that there were still other
crimes of which he was guilty which
| he had not yet confessed.
The confession was the more start
ling because of its unexpectedness.
Thursday Johnson appealed to the
pardon commission for communta-
ton of sentence, and his application
had been carefully considered. Then
Mrs. Hembree crushed his hopes by
going before the board and declar-
ing that he was certainly guilty.
There was only small party pres
ent Friday morning when the time
came for the hanging. In that party
were Mr. and Mrs Hembree, Sheriff
Nelms, w. c. Lawrence, J. w. Bry-
ant, two doctors and two negro
preachers. Mrs. Hembree refused to
see her assailant hanged. The others
witnessed che execution.
The confession included in chron-
illogical order: Attempted assault op
the Misses Lawrence, assault upon
Mrs. Hembree, Murder of Amos
Moody, assault on Mrs. Camp, at
tempted assault on Mrs. Kimball Of
Oakland City, firing into the window
of j. w. Bryant in East Point
For the assault. on the Misses Law
renee negro is now serving forty
year sentence. The ASSAULT upon Miss
Ethel Lawrence and Miss Mabel
Lawrence was singularly brutal. Miss
EtheIs eye was knocked out and both
young women were brutally beaten
Miss Mabel Lawrence identified Will
Rrauau ne the negro
On Nov. 13 Mrs. Annie Camp was
assaulted at her home on Cascade
avenue, in West End She was bound
and left unconscious. Joe Glenn, a
negro farmer near by, was arrested
and at his trial on Nov f6 Mrs
Camp identified him as her assailant
On the same day policemen arrested
Johnson, who was wearing three
suits of clothes. He was brought
into court during Gienn's trial, when
Mrs. Hembree identified him as her
assailant, Mrs. Camp, too, Identified
him. 1t is the belief of Atlanta of
ficers that many of the other at
tenpts made on women before the
September riot were the work OF
Johnson.

Blow for Peace Plan.

ALTHOUGH the "pacificists" still in
sist that the question of the limita-
ton of ornaments must be raised
in some form before the adjournment
of the peace conference, the last
chance of any government coming for
ward to openly propose the discus
sion disappeared with the knowledge
that the United States government
considered the initiative belonged to
Europe and not to America.
NJ. Nelidoff's depressing utterances
at the opening of the conference,
occupied with the unfortunate disso-
luton of the duma at the very mo-
meh< the conference had assembled
has produced many expressions OF
regret that President Roosevelt yield
ed the initiative of the second con-
ference to Emperor Nicholas.
AS matters now stand neither Eng
land nor any IF her continental
friends are ready to move lest the
mere suggestion of debating the
question of the limitation of arm
aments inject spirit of discord
which would endanger the useful
work achievable and possibly break
up the conference under circumstan-
ces which would postpone another
conference indefinitely.
Grimly, somewhat disconsolately
therefore, the preparations for the
real work are proceeding. The
American delegation is not asking
much for itself in the way of honors,
preferring to seek recognition for the
Latin-.American countries which are
entering the conference under its au
spices.
The countries favoring a discus
sion of the question of the limita
ton of armamehts originally planncd
to propose the appointment of com
mittee on limitation of ornaments
or disarmament, but naturally this
has now been abandoned. Should
there be any objection to naming a
committee on the Drago doctrine Jo-
seph Choate, head of the American
delegation, may formally move on
Wednesday a presentation of this
subject, together with a propositio,

Women in Shops Imperil Nation.

In a straight from the shoulder an
alysis of modern life, William ID.
Washburn, the Minneapolis philan-
thropist and son of the flour king,
told 1000 delegates to the national
convention of charities and correc-
tons Thursday that the invasion of
industry by women means a COM
plete overturning of society, a race
OF stunted men and women, and
constantly growing public burden in
the caring for delinquent children
neglected by their toiling mothers.
He called upon charity workers at
tending the conference to prepare to
shoulder new responsibilities which
will come with the continual increase
in the number of women in indus
tries. He said the competition of
woi n in the field of physical labor
is changing the social life of the ma
tion, and that the greatest danger of
race suicide lies in the presence of
girls and women in machine rooms
and at work benches in factories.
Mr.. Washburn spoke on 'Preven-
tive Measures" at a session devoted
to discussion of the general topic
of ssNeedy Families The way in
which his speech was received by the
charity workers indicated that they
have reached the conclu-ion that the
best place for women is at home, and
that the invasion of factories by
women can only result in an incrcas-
ing burden upon public charity, and
the sending into asylums and refor-
matories of the children orphaned by
indifference.
The last of the beiated delegations
arrived Thursday, and when. Mr..
Washburn began speaking the pews
and balconies of Plymouth church
were packed
"The physical competition Of wom-
en- in industrial life." Mr.. Washburn
said, 'the competition of women at
physical labor in facories is bound to
change the whole social life of the
nation The active part that women
are taking in industrialism means the
opening of new field for charity,s
and charity cannot shirk the new
burden If women are to stay in in
dustrialism they must be safeguard
ed, and if mothers are going to toll
in factories and workshops it will in
evitably devolve upon charity to give
their children the best substitute that
can be found for maternal care The
time seems to have passed when
women regard childbearing and child
raising as the great mission of their
SEX If mothers are to spend their
time at physical work in factories the
children will have a poor physical
inheritance and the race viii suffer.
The proper safeguarding Of child
rem is. of course" he continued. the
corner stone of any scheme to i'm
prove the conditions of the race. The
type of most people of mature age is
already set for better or for worse.
1t is to the Improvement OF the child
alone that we must look for regen-
Grafton of the type.

President Roosevelt spoiled Geor-
gia day at the Jamestown exposition
for lot of Georgians who were in
vited to attend for the purpose of de-
livering speeches, by crying when
ever an orator was about to be in
troduced, "cut it short" or ~cut it
out"
The president kept mp this "cut it
out" cry, according to Gov. Terrell
and others who were present, during
the entire day and in consequence
many Georgians have returned with
their great orations still fermenting
in an undelivered state.
b President Roosevelt, according
to Gov. Terrell, was in a peculiarly
strenuous humor when he reached
the exposition grounds. The presi-
dent seemed to be imbued with the
idea that if he himself delivered the
two speeches he was down for there
would be no need for anybody else to
speak.
When Commissioner Mitchell of
the Georgia commission, known as
Windy" in Atlanta, rose to intro
duce Mr.. Roosevelt, the latter in a
shrill whisper said, 90, cut it out"
and that whisper took the wind out
of Mitchell
Gov. Terrell himself Jared no bet
ter, for he encountered the presiden-
tial "Cut it short" and reduced hi.
speech to two brief paragraphs. Gov.
Terrell laughs over the incident, but
there are some of the Georgians who
are not happy. Among these is John
Temple Graves, whose speciality is
delivering himself of rounded periods
and no man relishes having his spec
ialty baned by stringer Cut it
short"
Others of the aggrieved are num-
erous Georgia mayors, who have
been working on their orations ever
since they we're invited to attend
Georgia day. All of them returned
with their speeches undelivefed and
there is so much compressed hot air
in Georgia cities just at present that
explosions are feared.
The consensus of opinion among
the Ceorgians invited to speak at
jamestown is that Roosevelt doesn't
want to hear anybody talk save him

Russians Must Reckon With China.

Russia's plan of reconstruction il
the far East now appears to be bases
on fear of China. Notwithstanding
lack of money. Russia is endeavor.
ing greatly to strengthen her 81
berian borders. The effect oi her
loss of prestige with the Chinese, es.
pecially the Manchurians, and the
breaking away of high mandarin ben
ehciaries despite the subsidies paid
them. together with the lofty attitude
of China, now that the Japanese are
regarded as hectoring and brow
beating them, powerfully impresses
the Russian people.
All the Russians formerly eicplcy-
ed on the island of Saghalien have
abandoned the Japanese there,
though they are needed in various
industries. The frontier line in Sag
halien and Russia and Korea is
strictly military. Russia's conten-
tions regarding the fisheries have
been disregarded, and the negotia-
tions for joining the Russian and
Japanese railways at Kwang Chen.-
tsu have failed, the Japanese con-
Quoting both along their own lines.
The Russians declare their iaabi:ity
to combat Japanese advances >-or
Manchurian interests.
Minister of War Terauchi, last
week visited and inspected the Japan
ese strategic position at Kwang
Chengtsu, causing disquiet to the
Russian officials, who say that the re-
lations between the two nations are
not yet on working basis.
While all classes view the Russian
tenure south of the Amur as tenn
porary, Primorisk is regardeds as a
territorial outpost, where on ac-
count of lack of funds, Russia has
suspended the construction OF bar
racks and other works to house an
increased garrison, but continues to
push immigration.
The failure of government railways
and other peaceful methods used sin
the past to establish Russian trade
or meet the new conditions in Man
churia has forced Russian vested in
terests to appeal for the introduction
of foreign enterprises, which it is
expected would constitute barrier
to the Japanese.
In Siberia, the double tracking oi
the railway has been indefinitely post
poned, and the government is devot-
ing itself solely to correcting Rus
sia's original strategic lines on the
frontier as shown by the resurvey OF
the Amur railway north of the Amur
river. 1t is planned to connect the
Amur and Baikal roads, giving pro-
tected communication to Primorisk
