STEAMSHIP VIRGINIA
NBELED FOR $|4,58O

United States Marshal e. R. Hen
dry yesterday afternoon attached the
British steamship Virginia under
libel in rem and personam. The libel
was brought in admiralty in the Fed
eral District Court against both the
, steamship ana her owners, Virginia
Steamship Co., Ltd, of Glasgow,
Scotland, by J. j. Moore & Co.,
California corporation. This made
double service of the libel necessary,
, Captain Crocker of the Virginia be-
ing served in his capacity as captain
and also as agent of the owners. The
latter will probably put up a bond to
release the vessel, having been in
/ formed by cable of the attachment.
The libellant company claims $14,-
$50 on charter party. According
! to the complaint, the Virginia Steam
ship Co. chartered the Virginia to
j. J. Moore & Co. August "a, 1906,
for voyages from Newcastle to such
Pacific Coast ports as the libellant
might designate, and to return via
such New South Wales ports as
might be designated
| 1t is claimed that at MukilteO Cap
tain Croker refused to load the Vir-
ginia with more than 3,046,000 feet
of lumber, although libellant claims
that the vessel could carry 3,300,0 900.
On this account libellant claims
loss Of $1676.40.
At Sydney the captain collected
500, 1913 freight money, which the IL
oellant claims was due to it, and re-
fused to pay the money over but held
it on account Of the Virginia Steam
ship Co.
The libellant claims balance due
it of $12 100000, being freight money
unpaid 1t asks the Court to ALLOW
it this amount with interest, etc,
and also the amount of $167G.40.

PaSteur Vaccine
And Its Effects
On Tuberculosis

cination remained to be tested, which
as is well known consists in vacci-
mating man against smallpox by
means of variolous vaccine derived
from a heifer
In tuberculosis it was necessary to
immunize one species of animal by
inoculating it with tuberce microbes
from another species of animal.
Somewhere in 1901 R. Koch re-
ported to the Tuberculosis Congress
in London that cattle are resistant to
human tuberculosis, and also that
man was resistant to bovine tubercu-
lCsis. From this Koch assumed that
man could with safety consume the
tubcrculOus meat of cattle and that it
was useless to exercise such active
and costly supervision over dairies
and abattoirs.
| This was going a little too far and
the Congress decided not to accept
these assertions in spite of the great
authority of Koch.
Commissions were Immediately APP
pointed throughout England to ex-
| pertinent in order to check the asser-
tons of Koch. So you see Koch once
more rendered a great service to sci
cnce in that he stimulated new re-
searches, the result of which proved
/ teyond any doubt that while bovine
| tuberculosis was not without danger
to man human tuberculosis was in
nocuOus to cattle. 1t was by the in
Spiration of these facts that Behring
discovered his bovo-vaccine Behring
| proved that cattle inoculated with
| human cultures (virulent to mani
ecame resistant to incubation of b.
vine tubercle microbes
During the past two years a great
number of calves have been vaccinat-
! ed in Germany, France, Austria, etc,
with bovine vaccine, and large pro-
/ PORTION of these have since been test
ed and found free from tuberculosis.
We know today that vaccinated
! calves can resist the infection of tu-
| hercle for about twelve months, but
we do not yet know whether single
incubation will preserve an animal
from tuberculosis for life.
Bovo-vaccine is certainly the most
4 important discovery yet made by sci
ence in its struggle against tubercll-
| losis.

NURSES PULL TAFFY.
Social Event at Sibley Me-
mortal Hospital.

Jollity reigned supreme last evening in
Rust Hall, North Capitol and NJ streets,
the home of the nurses on duty at Sibley
Memorial Hospital, and those attending
the Lucy Webb Hayes Training School
The big kitchen was diverted from it's &C
customed use, for the time being, and de-
voted to candy making. Nurses in uniform
and nurses in other attire; physicians and
friends of both and of the hospital and
school flocked to the scene. The exercise
of pull was necessary to get in, and then
pulling candy was the rule until everybody
was sticky and tired. but happy. 1t
was remarked that the nurses were all
sweet, without the addition of sugar and
taffy, in more forms than one, was handed
around generously. Birds in cages, who
were accused of telling more things than
they should have done were a feature.
The affair was under the general manage
ment of Miss Clara G. Williams, director
of the hospital and superintendent of
nurses. Guarding the entrance doorway was
Miss Haven, assistant superintendent.
Candy was dispensed with skill and rapidity
by Miss Pugh Miss Elizabeth King, Miss
Couch and others.

of q New system.

The Secretary of the Treasury has direct
ed that the system of bookkeeping in the
Treasury Department be changed to the
plan recommended by the special commit
tee of the Keep commission. The forms
have been drawn and it is expected that
the new books will be ready in time to
transfer the balances at the end of the
fiscal year.
The committee on business methods of
the treasury, composed of Assistant Secre-
tary Slater, Auditor Person and ]. A.
Wetmore, chief of the law division of the
supervising architects Office, held a meet
ing with the members of the Keep COM
mission and its subcommittee, and also a
committee of expert bookkeepers from New
York, representing the National Associa-
ton Of Accountants. These different COM
mittees reported favorabIy to Secretary
Shaw, who Immediately directed the new
system to be installed at the end Of the
fiscal year.
The new system will not entail any par
ticular increase in the present bookkeeping
force Of the treasury, and 1t Is expected
that it will greatly simplify the methods
of accounting.

methods is meeting almost daily and going
