At Chicago 400 delegates appointed by
State Governors met. under the auspices
of the National Civic Federation, to dis
cuss the curling of trusts. President But
Ter of Columbia university, who presided,
made an address, in which he warned
against premature or ill-considered meas
ures for the regulation of public service
corporations, lest they disturb that faith
which civilized man has in his fellows and
upon which rests the whole enormous
structure of our credit system" He add
ed that if this were destroyed there would
De few corporations of any kind left to
regulate. At the same time he admitted
that the country was face to face with
new economic conditions and abuses
which must be checked He thought that
the Sherman antitrust law commits the
nation to too extreme policy by exalting
competition over cooperation. Many
economists of national reputation took
part in the discussions which followed or
delivered set addresses. Bankers, mer-
chants and labor leaders were also heard.
Judge Grosscup aired his fayorite plan
for national corporation commission and
Samuel Gompers said that the trade
union was the proper accompaniment of
the trust. The majority favored some
form of federal regulation of all corpora
tons. Many of the delegates took the
same position as that of President But
Ter against the Sherman antitrust law,
it being the sense of the convention that
the law was more at fault than the trusts
for existing conditions.

Experiments In Burma AShow Its
Value for Local Use Only.
Consul General w. II. Michael, In re-
Spouse to an American inquiry as to
the utilization of bamboo In India,
writes to the bureau of manufactures
from Calcutta as follows. says the
Washington Star:
The general outcome Of the expert
ments to ascertain the suitability of
certain Burmese timbers bamboos and
ihers for the making of pulp for paper
manufacture, has, Ii is officially re-
ported, gone TO show that the pulp pro-
duced from the Burmese woods expert
mented with, while 1t might find a
local use In Burma for the manufac-
ture Of cheap paper. would not enter
into serious competition with the high
class wood pulps obtainaaIe in England,
If exported as paper pulp thence. The
report estimates that a ton of I'M
bleached bamboo pulp could be pro-
duced in Burma for SGT, including man.
ufacturing costs, interest aud mlscel-
laneous charges. This cost, supple
mented by the freight to England and
sundry dues. would be increased TO S3T
as the price de ivered TO London O.
Liverpool. and considering the quality
of the pulp profit should be realized.
since wood pulp Is valued at $40 TO
S45 a ton. The vaiae of the pulp for
local use in a paper mill IN Burma is
considered to be undoubted and the
manufacture of paper from bamboo
therefore offers favorable possibilities
as a new industry for Burma"

Relieve Money Difficulties


Relieve Money Difficulties.
Outweighing, ali that the mcst powerful
fnanciers OF the country could do, the
American farmer has come to the rescue
of the finances of the nation and is reliev-
ing the money difficulties. The great
American staples-wheat, cotton. tobacco
meats-are on their way to Europe, this
being the season of the year when Ameri-
can products are marketed abroad. III
return the Unitei States is receiving
credit for many million dollars abroad
which can be converted speedily into a
stream Of gold flowing into the country
1t is this fact which is expected to pro-
vide lasting relief, and which backs VI
the efforts of the bankers and inanciers
OF the country with such force as to make
it virtually certain that the coming
months will be ones of ease in the money
markets.
The natural resources of the country
promise to exert even greater influence
than the sale of American securities
abroad. The latter have Suffered dis
credit, to some extent, under recent pres
sure. The intrinsic value of the products
of the farmer, TO which must be added
those of the mines and oil fields, and their
colossal aggregate at this time of the
year is beyond the reach of financial dis
trust, above the power of Wall street.

In houses where a death from cancer
has appeared the disease often breaks

that now census has been taken to

1906.
There are 1,062 houses on the list
which VIII be watched to see II the
new residents become affected with the
disease. Already in twelve of the

in the space of seven years eleven
deaths from cancer, all practically oc

Three years later seventeen of these

The doctor concluded that the houses
were hotbeds of cancer germs and that
no amount of dlsinfecting would drive
them away.

The Control of Tuberculosis.

The third annual report of the Henry
Phipps Institute of Philadelphia, whose
work is the study, treatment and proven
ton of tuberculosis, as summarized by
Charities and the Commons, presents
many items Of interest and encourage
ment to those who are seeking to arrest
the ravages of consumption. One is ths
racial susceptibility to the disease. For
eign born citizens brought to the insti-
tute form nearly one-half the burden OF
its work for the year. The countries
which sent ii the heaviest burdens in or
der Of sequence were Russia Ireland,
Germany, England, Italy, Austria and
Scotland. The same order holds good for
the cases which came from the second
generation, namely, the children born OF
immigrants Only 1913 per cent of all
the patients treated were of native an
cestry one generation back. Children born
of mixed parentage most frequently be-
came victims when the union of parents
was between Irish and native born, and
next between Irish and English. The
claim often made that tuberculosis does
not exist to any great extent among the
Hebrews is partially borne out by the
mortality statistics in large cities; that
is, while the disease is very prevalent
among the Hebrews it seldom takes on q
fatal form. There seems to be racial
immunity against the toxine Of tie tu-
bercle bacili, but not against its growth.
The institute finds that the frequency
with which residence is changed by tho
consumptiye poor constitutes menace ia
fYrpfntnc
gument in favor of registration of tuber-
culosis. 1t is also urged that dsnfec
ton Of houses when vacated by consump
tives, whether by death or removal, should
be practiced everywhere. 1t is interest
ing to note that in Philadelphia every
ward in which an institution for this
treatment of tuberculosis exists showed
reduction Of the death rate from the
disease, willie some of the adjoining
wards have had an increase.
