WHITE PLAGUE
Its determination Is
Prevention

There are great many articles now
appearing in print on the subject of
consump ton, whose ravageS are on the
increase, not only In America, but also
in Europe.
That there should be a systematic
and determined warfare against this
awful disease is now becoming evil
dent to all persons having at heart the
welfare of the human race
A well-known physician. who has
made tuberculosis a study for a num-
Der of years. states most emphatically
that the majority of cases of consump-
tion originate in neglected cold or
cough. This causes Inflammation md
weakening of the lungs. and renders
them liable to the attacks of the tu-
bercle germ. which at present is very
prevalent. He also states that the new
soluble form of pine Is probably the
known for the quick relief of acute and
chronic colds and for healing and
stimulating the lungs and bronchial
tubes.
Inquiry at a leading druggists elic-
tied the information that the pine
product above referred to is known as
Concentrated oil of pine. and the for
mula for it's use is as follows: One
half ounce of Concentrated oil of pine,
two ounces of glycerine. half pint of
whiskey; mix and shake thoroughly
and use in tablespoon doses every four
The Concentrated oil of pine comes
put up for medicinal use only In half
top cases. which protect it from atmos-
pheric changes and retain all the origi-
nal ozone. 1t should not be confused
with some patent medicines that are
of package. These, owing to their i'm
purities and the fact that they are
not soluble are liable to produce per-
manent kidney disorders.

LOUISVILLE CAR STRIKE
RESULTS IN VIOLENCE

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 11.-yio-
lence resulting in injuries to nearly a
dozen persons and the spasmodic opera
tion of less than one hundred cars for
a few hours under apparently made
quate police protection marked the sec
ond day of the strike of union en-
ployes of the Louisville Railway Com
pany. Few, il any, of the cars oper-
ated were patronized, and a number
were stoned
At 1 o'clock this afternoon attempts
to maintain service within the city
limits were abandoned, and three hours
later the suburban lines were also
given up, but the interurban service
into Indiana was not interfered with.
There are tonight about 800 SUBJ
urbanites spending the night in Louis

JAPAN MAY REMOVE ITS
PASSPORT LIMITATION

TOXIC, March IA question has
arisen regarding the last clause OF
article 2 Of the treaty between Japan
and the United States. which has
Nhn cited by the Government at Wash
ington as authority for the statement
that the Japanese Government hither-
10 has been issuing passports limiting
the destination OF emigrants. The
passports simply certify to the nation
aIity Of their holders, and the placing
of a restriction on them by an admin
3strative measure is declared here to
be unauthorized by law and an in
fringement Of the personal right to
travel, guaranteed by the constitution.
In view. however Of the attitude of
the American Government in not call
ing for the enforcement Of the clause
mentioned IL is thought that the nmi-
tstion so placed viii pc left unQues-
toned. Even then Japanese Jurists be-
lieve that the action of the American
Government IN restricting the destina-
tion OF holders OF passports will not
be upheld before a court.
Administrative action and litigation
since the San Francisco school trouble
have brought the clause into promi-
nence. and Japan has begun TO smart
under the alleged humiliation. It
would be no surprise should pressure
be brought on the Government to have
Il abstain from issuing passports linn
sting the destination Of their bearers.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SAN JOSE. March 1.-THE respond
ent in the Ross-Langford election con-
test closed his case today and the con-
testant began presfnting rebuttal tes-
timony.
Attorney Moore. representing Sheriff
Langford, has been working for several
days on the theory that access to the
ballots was had while they were stored
in a vault in the basement of the court
house. All of his testimony has been
directed along this line.
Night Watchman Higgins testified
today that during all the time since
the election he had made hourly trips
to the basement at night and had
never found anything amiss. Further
more, at the instance of former Sheriff
Ross. when he went on duty each even
ing he had placed a seal on the door
he left he found the seal intact. No
one knew of this except Sheriff Ross
until today, and Attorney Richords,
who represents the contestant, Frank
II. Ross. declares that it upsets the
theory that the ballots were reached
while in the vault.
Testimony given by Police Commits
sioner Mccarthy today was to the effect
that he had caught a man reading
Ross ballot for Langford at the time
OF the official count. Attorney Rich
ards claims to have several witnesses
who will testify to the same effect
concerning a San Jose precinct. The
taking of testimony will be concluded
tomorrow.

Two Senate measures Objectionable
TO the President were on the Assembly
file. One expressed the poular pro-
test against the naturalization of
Japanese, and the other provided that
no person over 10 years of age could
be admitted to q primary school The
message transmitted by the Governor
read as follows:
To the Assembly Of the State Of California:
1 herewith transmit TO you for your most
earnest consideration the following telegram just
received from the President Of the United
states. which is as follows:
Action of the Legislature reported
I'm this mornings papers most uDfor-
cure exclusion Of Japanese labOrers by
friendly agreement, and If continued
will probably render recent legislation
of Congress for that purpose ineffective.
Please secure suspension of further
action until receipt of letter from me.

II seems from the foregoing message that it
would be very important that no action be
taken at this time which will prevent our
Government from entering into friendly rela-
fions with the japanese Government tending
TO the exclusion OF laborers from that country
hope that the Assembly will give this
matter a very careful consideration that no
mistake at this time be made.
