COMMENT ON TOWERS SPEECH.
Received in Germany With Great Sat
isfaction.

Cologne, April lO.-An inspired tel
egram from Berlin in the Cologne
Gazette yesterday, says the speech of
Ambassador Tower at New York Mon
day was so friendly in tone, rendering
at the same time justice to German
ways and aims, that it must be re-
ceived in Germany with the greatest
satisfaction, especially as it comes
from a man who has known Germany
personally for a long time, and who
enjoys the reputation of being clever
and sagacious observer of German
methods. The telegram dwells partic-
uiarly upon Mr.. Towers remarks re-
garding the friendly feelings enter
tanned by Germany for the United
States, and the fact of the increase Of
amicable relations has aided in elm
mating all that tends to separate the
two countries and has brought them
closer together.

committee of conservatives upon Sec

that Cuba today was torn by political

he would recommend such action to

New York, April 10.-One more day
and the concluding chapters or Thaw's
trial will have been written into his
tory. With an oratorical appeal to
both the written and the unwritten
law for justification of his client, Del
mas concluded his exhaustive sum
ming up address to the jury yesterday
afternoon. This morning jerome will
so before the jury and is expected to
make plea which viii be accounted
the best efforts of his life. Delmas'
speech yesterday was one OF sustained
Oratorical effort He threw about the
form of Harry Thaw, a cloak of chiy-
alrous Enighthood. Why" he shout
ed, should We who admire the chiy-
airy of the knights Of the middle
ages who went about redressing
wrongs and rescuing maidens in dis
tress, withhold our sympathy from
this brave MANI" Delmas declared
that White sought to play with the
girl so long as her beauty remained
and then would have thrown her
away like a dirty rag to float down
life's sewers to a grave in the potter's
field" Again he said:
Harry Thaw had snatched the girl
from the old Ieecher who saw in her
but toy to crafty a moments lust
and then be cast aside to go her way
down paths of fallen women"
With dramatic emphasis Delmas
cried out that when Thaw beheld
White on Madison Square roof garden,
the story of his wifes wrongs over
came him. He pictured in an instant
as a dying man may picture, his past
life-all that White had done-the
ruin he had wrought, and he struck
struck as a tigress strikes in defense
Of her young, struck for the home
struck for American woman, struck
for humanity, and White fell.
"Ah, gentlemen" he went on If
Harry Thaw believed he was the in
strument of Providence, who will say
he was mistaken?
1t was in discussing Thaw's mental
state that DeImas came at last to the
mwritten law. He declared that the

university of Importance that does

who desire to study medicine, was
brought out before the joint meeting

For Health Officers.

Another advantage of the plan is
that when the first two years of the
medical course are established, it will
be possible to give a complete course
in hygiene for health officers. Many
of the health officers are not physl-
clans, and have not been able to Sc
cure adequate training If a system
attic course for health officers IS
given, they can obtain proper train
ing, and thus increase greatly their
efficiency. This greater efficiency of
we'll trained health officers, it was
pointed out, will result in inestimable
benefit to the state by improving the
general sanitary and hygenic condi-
tons in the city and country, and by
controlling and greatly reducing the
amount Of infectious and contagious
disease.
The proposed plan, it was also
pointed out, providing as it does for
a department of pathology, will make
possible the study Of pathological con
ditions in both plants and animals.
With the facilities offered by the col
lege of agriculture it will be possible
to take UP the study of animal dis
eases as well as those of man. and
to investigate the relation of one to
the others. as in tuberculosis, antn-
rax, CHAMBERS, hydrcphobia, etc. II
is also desired to take up the study
of plant diseases. If this can be
monetary returns to the state through
the elimination of plant and animal
disease will bring to the agricultural
interests many times the amount
spent for the entire medical course.
