NEW CURE FOR WHITE PLAGUE.
Medical Scientists are Satisfied Their
Experiments are Success.

Boston, Marh 26-Hope for suffer
ers from the great white plague is helc
out by the success of experiments witt
vaccine incubation as a cure for tuber'
culosis, not only of lungs, but On othel
organs of the body, by the faculty o.
Tufts College Medical school and path
illogical department of the Massachu'
setts general hospital,
The treatment. has already been test
ed in the case of Mrs. Curtis Guild, jr.,
wife of Governor Guild, with most en-
couraging results.
At Tufts Medical school the work has
been in charge of DR.. Timothy Leary,
professor of pathology and bacteriology
in the Massachusetts General hospita ,
and DR.. James Homer Wright. DR..
Wright calls the treatment "the OPP
sonic method" from the fact that the
opsonins in the human body are stimu-
lated to greater activity.
In the case of disease when danger
Gus bacteria attack the body the op-
sonins set to work to destroy the bac-
terra. If they sulceed, the patient re-
ccvers, but if they fail, the disease pre-
crosses and the deadly absorption cf
the vital organs begins.
DR.. Leary says OF the preventative
with which he is experimenting:
"What we are trying to do, and what
others in every part of the medical and
scientific wcrld are at work trying to
10, is to elaborate specific which will
50 strengthen powers of the human
blood that their resistance to the in
'oads of disease will not only be in
'reased but prolonged; which will
make them immune against the inroads
If the bacteria and keep them up to
he point which they must possess in
rider to perform the work for which
hey were intended by nature"

CHARGED TOLL.
Commissioner Gallagher Took Fees
From Fellow Grafters.

San Francisco, March GA feature
of the boodling operations of the super
visors not hitherto exposed and which
surpasses in genuine cussedness any
thing yet revealed, came out today
when it was learned that Supervisor
Gallagher, who acted as distributor OF
the swag, charged his fellow supervisors
a commission of per cent on all bood-
le he collected for them.
Gallagher admits it in his confession
He said he did it because Of the expense
he was put to in the way Of car fare
and the risks involved. Gallagher hot
ly defended himself when questioned in
the grand jury room about the practice
He said he thought he was honestly en-
titled to the brokers' commission. In
some cases, he said, his colleagues pro-
tested, but he informed them that if he
was not to get the commission they
would not get the Doodle.
Although Louis Glass, of the Pacific
States Telephone company, and Abram
Detwiller, of the Home Telephone COM
pany, the two indicted magnates have
not been apprehended by the police, no
fear is felt by the prosecution as it is
believed that both men will surrender

HENEY REFUSES
TO NEGOTIATE
Wants Complete Surrender from San
Francisco Mayor.
Ohio Capitalist Indicted on I3 Counts
in Connection With Home Tele-
phone Brdery-Heney to lmpeach
and Remove Schmitz and Change
Supervisors.

San Francisco, March 23.-This was
by far the most sensational day in the
local graft situation. Mayor Schmtz
sent an emissary to Assistant District
Attorney Heney and Detective Burns
and asked for terms. When no pro-
posals were forthcoming the agents of
the mayor made definite proposition.
They offered confession from the
mayor for complete immunity and his
continuance in Office until the expira-
tion Of his term on January of next
year. The offer was re jected with more
speed than it was made and the negoti-
ations came to a quick end. The may
or's emissaries are expected to return.
1t is not thought that they seriously be-
lieved that the prosecution would con-
sent to the continuance of Schmitz in
office. But it was simply to create a
point on which they could yield in
future negotiations.
Second only in importance to the
overtures from the mayor were the rev.
elation that l3 indictments had been
voted against Abraham X. Detwier, a
capitalist from Ohio, who visited the
Pacific coast last April in the interest
of the Home Telephone company.
Plans for the future government of
the city were evolved today by Mr..
Heney District Attorney Langdon and
Rudolph Spreckels. With graft reach
ing into almost every branch of the city
affairs, the functions of government
have broken down completely. Instead
of an organized form of administration,
Francis j. Heney is practically dictator
Of the city and county Of San Francisco.
The people are conter t to let him and
his associates work out the problem.
The plan is to keep the boodling super
vispors in office for time. They will
obey Mr.. Heney's orders. OF this there
is no doubt Should they refuse, indict-
ment, trial and conviction and i'm
prisonment would follow.
While the supervisors remain in office
summary Impeachment proceedings will
be brought against the mayor, and he
will be removed by Judge of the Su-
perior court after hearing, which will
not occupy more than few hours.
Schmtz will be given Il chance to resign
to avoid dismissal.
After the election OF Schmitz from
the office the board of supervisors VIII
be ordered to elect as his successor
some man to be chosen by Mr.. Heney,
probably District Attorney Langdon.
After the new mayor assumes office, Mr..
|Ieney will order the Is boodling su-
oervisors to resign and they will resign.

ABOLISH RED TAPE.
Secretary Garfield to Start Reform
In Interior Department..

Washington, March Secretary
Garfield is organizing the Interior de-
partment with view to facilitating
public business and eliminating red
tape. He is Transforming an obsolete
governmental machine into modern
business methods, injecting up-to-date
methods and doing away with fully
one-third Of the labor required under
the old regime.
Beginning today, Mr.. Garfield will
abolish the public lands and Indian
Territory divisions of the Interior de-
partment, divisions which heretofore
handled all business coming to the sec
retary from the general land Office and
Indian office. Their functions were
superhuous and had no good effect. On
the contrary, these divisions made un-
necessary work and delay, and were
largely responsible foI friction and
trouble between Secretary Hitchcock on
the one hand and the land and Indian
offices on the other hand.
j. A. Parker, former chief of the
lands division, who has a thorough
knowledge of department methods, is
to be made Mr. Garfeld's private sec
retary, but will not participate in the
formation of departmental policy.
Clerks of his and other divisions will
be absorbed by the land and Indian
offices. These reforms were recon-
mended by the Keep commission, of
which Mr.. Garfield was member.
The president heartily approves OF
the change, and looks for great i'm
provement in the department in conse-
quence, especially as the changes bring
the new secretary in close touch with
the chiefs of all bureaus of his depart
ment, and Obliterates the bothersome
intermediary.

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
FINE CROP OUTLOOK.
Eastern Oregon Farmers Rejoicing
Over Recent Rain.

The Dales-The rain and snow which
fell here last week aggregated one inch
moisture. Showers still continue and
the snow on high elevations, which
varied from four to six inches in depth,
is gradually disappearing.
This will further retard plowing and
seeding, which, owing to the miry
condition of the soil had but fairly
begun throughout the country. When
this last storm fell, farmers from the
Tygh ridge wheat belt reported that the
conditions for spring grain have not
been as favorable in many years as
now, because of the heavy freezing
which loosened the ground to a depth
of IS inches, and the thorough soaking
from the deep snow and heavy rain.
Owing to the long drouth and the
lateness of fall rains, there is less acre
age in winter wheat than usual, bnt
under the present favorable conditions
for spring seeding, there will be
about the usual annual acreage in
grain. The fruitgrowers regard the
late snow storm as most beneficial,
since it checks the budding until dan
ger OF killing frosts is past. No loss
of sheep is feared, since lambing on the
sheep ranges of the county has not yet
begun.

STORM RACES ON.
No let-Up of Ram Apparent in North
ern California.

Redding, Cal, March 25.-The heav-
lest storm of the season ragged here all
last night and until early this morning
For few hours it abated and then
broke again. A terrific wind is now
blowing and the rain is falling in
sheets.
Reports state that snow is falling all
through the Siskiyous and Sacramento
canyons, the precipitation being heav-
ier than at any time during the past
season. All the snowplows in this
section have been put into commission
and have made but little headway.
A third snowslide occurred at Can
tara, and the wrecker from Dunsmuir
hastened TO the scene. Tunnel No. 9
is said to be caving in and Dunsmulr
has an unverified report that in the
Siskiyous many cave-ins have occurred.
Conditions could not be worse along
the upper route than they now are and
the indications are that another storm
will break tonight.
