BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS.
Expert Says That 44o,000 Cows In
 New York State Have Disease.

Ithaca, N. r., Dec. 19--A startling revelation of the prevalence of bovine tuberculosis in New York state and the lack of means furnished by the legis- lature to control the disease was made before the Tompkins County Medical society by Dr. V. A. Moore, bacteriolo- gist of Cornell university and the foremost expert in his line in the United States.
 Dr. Moore said that of 1,0S6 cows tested by Dean Law of the Cornell Veterinary college Is per cent had the disease. The official reports of the state in 1904 showed that of 2,417 ami mals tested 16 per. cent had the dis ease, and in 1904-06 of BOSS animals % per cent were infected. Private re- ports collected by Dr. Moore through Cornell graduates practicing in New York state showed that of S,640 ami mals in 3G4 herds 36 per cent had tu- berculosis. a
 Dr. Moore estimates that of 1,S00,000 milk cows in this state 440,000 are in- fected with tuberculosis. This. he said, would be surprise even to cat tlemen

In addition to the construction of additional battleships, it is pointed out by the presiednt and by the sec retary of the navy and the secretary of war that it is necessary to pro- vide coaling stations, harbor de- fences, colliers, supply ships, and land Notifications of the best type. The amount of money asked by the two military departments for con- struction work is tremendous, but, according to the views of the presi- dent and his cabinet officers, it is only in accord with the necessities of the country. Heretofore, America has not kept pace with the countries of Europe in providing for self-de- fense; but, with the greatest coast line of any country in the world, it is necessary that the United States should be able to meet any emerg- ency that is likely to arise. To this end, the great appropriations for and naval Improvements are asked.

At the twenty-ffth anniversary
 celebration of the New York Charity
 Organization society on November
 19, Thomas M. Mulry of the St Vim
 cent de Paul society, president of the
 National Conference of Charities and
 Corrections, congratulated the New
 York society for the part it had play
 ed in wiping out religious differences
 in charitable work. This elimination of creed distinction in philanthropy
 he declared to be the broadest and most significant accomplishment of the last twenty-five years. At the same meeting says writer in one of the current magazines, Jacob H. Schiff, prominent both in general and in Jewish charity work and leader in the great movement to defect immi- grafton to southern and southwestern ports, said: That New York has become a better place to live in, that it's people have become more unsel- fish and more helpful, one to another. that faith and race lines have become almost eradicated upon the field of altruistic work is largely because of the activities of the Charity Organiz- ation society. In this connection the recent Sixteenth Indiana State con- ference of charities and correction is notably worthy to be recorded as typical of the new and thoroughly representative character of modern charity. The president of the con- ference was Rev Francis H. Gavisk. of St Johns Roman Catholic church.

SUIT AGAINST CORTELY0U.
Secretary Cited to Show Why Bond
 Alotmcnts Shouldn't Stop,

Washington, Dec 19.-Justice Gould of the district supreme court cited George E. Cortelyou, secretary of the treasury, to appear in court Jan. 3 to show cause why he should not be en- joined from delivering the balance of the $21 1,450000 of the Panama canal bonds to certain banks and persons to whom he has announced allotments.
 The citation is based on a petition filed by George W. Austin of New York, who represents that he made a proposal to purchase bonds of the ad- vertised issue of the face value of $3,000,000, agreeing to pay at the rate of 103.375 and accrued interest per $1O0 and saying that he stands ready to deposit the amount with the assist ant treasurer at New York.

The latest states to pass two
cent railroad fare bills are Penn:

railroad managers say they will
test the constitutionality of the law
on the ground that the rate is un.
profitable, but If that is so why do
they continually advertise ex-
.cursions at that rate and less.

Shall the Railroads Control, or the
People?

The desperate effort being made
to stampede President Roosevelt
into doing what he does not wan'
to do about the railroad issue il
peculiar to say the least. Railroad
magnates, with their safes full Of
watered stocks, Wall Street bank.
ers with "the goods" on them and
even members of the Cabinet have
all tried their best to persuade the
President to reassure the country
on the RAILROAD situation" But
political considerations stand in
the way. The country is in nc
mood to be trifled with and
popular opinion .is heartily favor
ing the efforts of state legislatures
to lido something" to bring about
cheaper passenger fare and re-
asonable freight rates. With re-
bates to the trusts abolished and
free passes discontinued. the rail-
roads must be making greater
profits and yet the managers have
conceded nothing to the people.
The came old rates are being
charged and yet the railroads are
clamorirg for President Roosevelt
to help them. How can the Presi-
dent help the railroads and if he
could, should he?
For political reasons he may
fear that the "railroad situation
may be 80 manipulated as to
produce business depression, but
that could hardly be with good
crops, unless the business con-
ditions are rotten, or dependent on
the railroads being allowed to
continue charging unreasonable
rates. The railroads are begging
to be ''let alone", which is always
the prayer of the plunderer. The
people had been: led to believe
that the railroad rate bill, as mod
lied and agreed to by President
Roosevelt, would give them relief.
They have discovered their mis-
take and the State Legislation,
either enacted. or in course of be-
ing enacted, is the natural result
of their disappointment at the
non effect of the new law of Con-
gress. Many people are swilling
to wait for the coming Congress
to pass more stringent legislation
but as that can only apply to in
terstate transportation, they are
now helping themselves by re-.
ducing.. intra. state rates.
The railroad managers and
bankers who are pleading with
the Republican politicians to adj
wise the President to treasure
the country on the railroad situ-
alton" must be in league to injure
the Presidents popularity, for
they both know that the most
drastic legislation. State and Ma
tional, is the popular ideal. The
whole question at issue is summed
up, shall the railroads continue to
run the country through their Re-
publican allies, or shall the peo-
pie control the railroads? Neither
the Republican politicians, nor
Roosevelt can change
this issue.
