Wisconsin furnished 96,424 men
for the Union armies during the
civil war. The population of the
state by the census of 1860 was 49,
881, which would imply that one
man in every eight of the whole pop
ulation-men, women and children,
went to the war; 1874 per cent. The
number of men subject to military
duty by law-between Is and IA
was about $1,000. 1t is seen by
these figures that nearly one-half of
the men enlisted were outside the
military age-less than Is or more

From now on the striking telegraphers

LIQUOR AND LUNGS.
Studying the Relation of Whisky and
tuberculosis

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, September A.
Whisky neither cures nor prevents con-
sumption, as many people believe. accord
ing to the annual report Of the Henry
Phipps Institute. one of the leading insttu-
tions in the United States for the treat
ment OF tuberculosis. The report which
has just been issued, says:
LAS our statistics of alcoholism in tu-
berculosis grow, it becomes more and more
manifest that all extreme views upon this
subject will have to be abandoned. That
alcohol neither prevents nor cures tubercu-
losis is evident from the number of alco-
holcs who have come for treatment; and
that it does~not strongly predispose to the
disease seems to stand out prominently
from the vast preponderance of non-alco-
holics among the applicants for treatment
Neither can 1t be shown that the children
of alcoholics are more prone to tubercu-
losis than the children of non-alcoh oholics."
1t is pointed out that nearly one-half Of
the patients treated at the institute fol-
lowed some occupation while undergoing
treatment, because their poverty would not
admit of their not doing SO. This fact
arouses this observation:
"Is society doing its duty by these peo-
and sick cats are carefully sought out and
humanely cared for. Sick brothers and
sisters, however, not only are permitted
but are compelled to work even at laborious
occupations How strange that there are
no societies for the prevention of cruelty
to human beings

SMOKED OUT THE NYMPHS

Exciting Night Scenes at the Palmer

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, Ill, September 4.-Guests of
the Palmer House-more than COO in num-
ber-became panic-strcken and left their
rooms in a spectacular fight last midnight,
when a fire started in the basement Of one
of the shops in the building. Smoke from
the blaze penetrated the Offices, corridors
the alarm, which was increased by the ar
rival of the fire engines.
When the smoke was discovered pouring
into the corridors Of the hotel, three
fourths OF the guests had retired for the
night. In ten minutes however, the word
had been spread throughout the building,
and in confusion men, women and children
scrambled for safety. Disregarding the
elevators, the majority Of the guests tried
to escape down the stairways. A few OF
the more frightened ones sought the fire
escapes The excitement was intense for
more than half an hour, until the flames
had been extinguished and the hotel en-
ployes had spread the word OF reinsurance
In the hasty exodus Of the guests, nobody
really was injured, although one woman
was rescued by the police she was about
to make a leap from a fifth-story window,
and another was carried fainting into a
nearby drug store.
Despite assurances, practically every oc-
cupant Of q room. bearing his or her pos
sessions in more or less disarranged state
and sometimes scantily clad. insisted on
hurrying down the smoky stairways and
piling luggage in the corridor prepared for
a further removal, II necessary. The hotel
lobby resembled the baggage room Of a
steamship office. Many guests, fearing to
return to their rooms, sat still excited with
their satchels and handbags long after the
fire had been put out and the building
cleared Of smoke.
Saved Her Canary.
Eighteen women, some of them patrons,
in the women's Turkish bath parlors in the
basement Of the hotel detected the smoke
and fed in a panic to the street, many of
them slightly clad. When they learned
the blaze was not spreading rapidly they
returned to the bathrooms and dressed.
Lew Gumbinner of New York, a salesman
for the NJ. Gugenheim Jewelry Novelty
COMPANY appeared in the lobby his night
of the nightshirt was a big diamond stud.
II had so much trouble getting my dia-
mon stud in place that l didn't have time
to find my shirt or my suit case" said Mr..
Gumbinner.
A woman wearing soft slippers and a
nightgown, stocking tied about her waist
for belt and kimono on wrong side out,
rushed about carrying a bird cage. "Oh,
some one please rescue my child, my child" ;"
she cried. Il forgot to bring him down."
The fire, which damaged the fur shop of
John T. Shayne Co, 167-189 State street,
caused a loss estimated at $4,000. Some
smoke damage was also reported in the
neighboring shop of Dunlap & Co. The
stored furs at Shayne's were not damaged,
according to the manager.

GOT PENROSE'S LIEUTENANT
Charges Fraud in the Allegheny Tax
Lists.
RESULT OF NOVEMBER ELECTION
Facts Were Kept Secret and Caused
a Sensation When Sprung
Today.

PITTSBURG, September "A political
sensation was caused here today when it
became known that the grand jury had in
dicted four prominent politicians of Allie
gheny City in connection with alleged tax
frauds in that city.
The men indicted are Elliott Rodgers
member of the state senate of Pennsyl-
vania and former common pleas judge of
the Allegheny courts and a lieutenant of
Senator Boies Penrose.
Samuel Grenet. director of public safety.
William Hogel member Of the Allegheny
councils
William Lamb, a leading Allegheny poll
tician.
The indictments were placed before the
grand jury yesterday and true bills were
found in five cases, but the fact was not
made public until the warrants had been
served upon all except one. There are sep
arate indictments against each the
charge of misdemeanor. and a fifth indict-
ment charges them jointly with conspiracy
to aid and abet misdemeanor. In the in
ulClucUlS dlleSdtlofS Ol COHSplI dCy "
procure false registration and fraudulent
voting, the procuring of the false registra-
tion and fraudulent voting and conspiracy
to issue fraudulent tax receipts.
Kept Secret Well.
The charges, it is said, are based upon
the November election of 1906. and are the
outgrowth of crusade waged by the
Voters Civic League of Allegheny.
All Of the accused went to the court
house today and gave bail in the sum of
$1,000 each.
The indictments are what are known as
presentments, bills presented to the grand
jury without the formality of an inforna-
ton. They are drawn first by the district
attorney, then presented to the court for
permission to present them to the grand
jury. That Is the reason they were carried
through with SO much secrecy, as had In
formations been made before an alderman
the facts would have been known long
ago
Several months ago the Voters Civic
League employed lawyers and detectives to
gather evidence, and, 1t is claimed, that
about 100 or 800 affidavits were secured
from parties who used the alleged bogus
tax receipts, which they claimed were
given them by men identified with political
affairs In Allegheny.
When the evidence had been collected the
league transferred the matter to the Is
trict attorney.

Scotch ancestry, and received his musical
education at Leipsic and Copenhagen.

NOTHING TO SAY.
Department Of Justice officials Mum
in the Absence Of Mr.. Bonaparte.

In the absence of Attorney General Bona
parte from the city. officials of the Depart
ment Of Justice will not discuss the de-
cision of Judge Lands, at Chicago yester-
day, to defer for three weeks the question
of granting immunity to the Chicago and
Alton road for giving rebates to the Stand
ard OIL Company. It was taken for granted
that Judge Lands would comply with the
wishes of the Department Of Justice that
the immunity promise made to the road
should be recognized. The fact that the
judge has seen fit to hold the matter UP
until there has been time to lay additional
facts before the Attorney General was
somewhat Of a surprise.
1t is recognized. however, that it Is with
in the scope and power of Judge Lands
to refuse to grant immunity, despite the
promises of the administration, II he de-
sires. Such step would be most unusual
but there Is nothing to bind United States
judge to follow the wishes of the govern
ment unless he wants to do so.
