in a divorce trial, brought forth
the following:

The committee has appointed sec
retary-general, DIR. John s. Fulton,
of Baltimore, who has opened on Of
flee in the Colorado building, in
Washington, and will devote all his
time to the organization of the Con-
gress. This is much the largest en-
terprise undertaken by the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis in the four
years of its existence. That its faith
in the outcome is well founded is
shown by the fact that such men as
H. G. Frick, Henry Phipps, Henry
L. Higginson, Martin Maloney, Will
liam P. Henszey and George Blumen-
thai are giving financial support to
the movement.
The project to hold this Congress
in Washington had its inception I'M
der very distinguished auspices. The
last International Congress on Tuber-
culosis met in Paris in 1906, and the
American delegates invited the Con-
gress to hold the next meeting in the
United States. Mr.. Roosevelt sec
onded the invitation, through Mr..
Mccormick, the Ambassador to
France, and the invitation was ac-
cepted with a great demonstration
of enthusiasm. The prospect of a
visit to our country seemed very
agreeable to the foreigners. 1t was
generally understood that President
Roosevelt, in seconding the invita-
ton, actd unofflcially. Without ex-
press consent of the United States
Congress, a President of the United
States may not commit his govern
ment to the responsibilities of hos
pitality towards any such organiza-
ton. But the Government of the
! United States is fully able to COM
pensate for any inconvenience that
may arise through the limitation OF
presidential authority. The Govern
ment of the United States is actively
interested in the International Con-
gress of tuberculosis, and its in
terest became manifest as soon as
the National Association brought the
matter to the attention of he Sec
rotary of State. This was done late
in January, when Mr.. Root was re-
quested to inquire of the other fed
eral departments whether they were
interested in the International Con-
gress. In yer yshort time 1t was
found that seven out OF the nine de-
partments wished to be represented
in the Congress and to contribute to

authority and means. was sent to the

dorsement of seven out of the nine
members of tn Cabint. Unquestion-
ably, the National Government is
deeply interested in the International
Congress on tuberculosis, and this

Whether Ex-Governor White and
others associated with him in years
past in the newspaper business again

is reported they will do by starting

The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1907-05-04

will make it one of the memorable
events of the year. Among foreign
governments the International Con-
gress is already looked upon as of
high Importance. and most foreign
governments will be officially repre-
sented at the meeting in Washing
ton. The highest official circles in
this country will, of necessity, put
on some ceremony while the Inter-
national Congress is in progress.
For physicians the International
Congress on Tuberculosis will be an
unique event Such a gathering is
not likely to take place again in
this country in generation. The
chance of seeing and hearing the
most distinguished foreign medical
men is of itself sufficient to draw
physicians in hundreds from all
parts of this country, Canada and
Mexico.
The International Congress will
cost a good deal of money. The
National Association will provide a
fund of $4,000, and this sum will
come chiefly from the private purses
Of few wealthy and enlightened
men, who see in this Congress an
opportunity to give tremendous
impetus to the movement against
tuberculosis. An undertaking that
will bring all the energies now en-
gagged in the worlds combat against
tuberculosis to focus in Washing
ton for nearly month, will I'M
doubtedly leave a permanent i'm
press on the whole country, and will
yield large returns for the money
invested. The event of the current
quarter century-that is what the
International Congress on Tubercu-
losis will be for physicians and hui
manitarians; and for the American
people, the choicest opportunity
ever offered for a massive move
ment against the greatest of RENE
diable scourges. Such are the
views of the National Association
about the forthcoming Congress on
tuberculosis, and it will not be al
lowed to come and go as an event
of merely unusual interest. If sin
gleness of purpose and work with
out stint reward the Association &C
cording to its faith, the Congress
will leave a substantial deposit of
active saving faith on every in
habited acre of American soil.

An Important Congress.

during the hottest part of the
presidential campaign in 1908 Wash
ington will be the scene of one Of
the most important scientific con-
crosses ever held in America. Dur
ing the last ten days OF September
and the first ten days of October,
1908. large number of distinguish
ed men from all parts of the world,
physicians, hygienists, sociologists
and humanitariaus, will assemble in
Washington to discuss the problem
OF tuberculosis. This great gather
ing will be organized under the name
OF the International Congress of
Tuberculosis. 1t will number sew
eral thousand members and dele
gates, and the visitors to Washing
ton, on account of the Congress, will
number thousands more. There is
no doubt about the magnitude and
Importance Of the Congress, but its
attractiveness to non-members re-
mains to be proved. If congress
on tuberculosis can draw many
hundreds of Americans to Washing
ton in the critical stages Of presi-
Dental campaign, there can be no
doubt that the modern crusade
against the Great White Plague is
the most absorbing contest which
medical science has ever waged. The
anti-tuberculosis campaign has, in
deed, Caught on with the American
people, and Is going forward in dead
~ earnest. but an outsider may doubt
whether 1t can compete successfully
with so great political upstir. Hav-
ing in full view the intense preoccu-
patton of public interest at that time,
the National Association for the
Study and Prevention OF Tuberculos-
is has chosen the time and place for
the International Congress to suit the
pleasure and convenience OF the for
eign members and delegates, and the
Association has not tn slightest doubt
that the Congress will be a great sue
cess.
The Directors and Council of the
National Association include the
most noted authorities on tubercu-
losis in this country, and they are,
besides, wise men in public affairs.
Their plans contemplate something
far broader than a convention of
scientific men. They expect to have

and interest anything of the sort

illustrative objects has been going
on nthis country for several years,
and the exhibition method of educat-
ing tn epubiic on this subject is em-
ployed in many foreign countries.
During the three weeks. while this
exhibition is in progress, visitors

tuberculosis. The exhibition will be

bition as means of arresting popu-
lar attention has therefore been
proved by experience.
The work Of organizing the Inter
national Congress has been intrusted
by the National Association to

medical men, who will add to their
aumber up TO twenty members. The

The police last night stopped the operation of

Railway Company had forfeited its franchise on
that street

There is nothing to say except that the cars
are not running on 145th street between Broad
way and Lenox avenue" said Oren Root. jr,
vice president and general manager Of the New
York City Railway Company, TO Tribune re-
porter last night when asked what the company
purposed regarding this action. Mr.. Root added
that the subject legal one and that he did
not care to discuss it any further at present.
Commissioner Bingham received a letter from
the Corporation Counsel yesterday saying that
the operation of cars by the New York City
Railway Company between Broadway and
Lenox avenue in 145th street illegal, as the
company had forfeited its franchise by failure
to build the tracks within five years after the
franchise was granted. and requesting him to

Counsel Ellison informed the company that the
operation Of cars I'm West 14Ith street was il

1t is maintained that the company has been
operating under Il franchise obtained by the

company. The original franchise was granted
in November. 1890, and by it's terms work was

been made to conserve. and sustain his constant
