DEATHS.
In Kentucky One of Every Sever
Died With This Dread Di-
SeaSe.

The American tuberculosis En-
hibition opened in Frankfort ON
Monday, where it is hoped to I'M
press upon the legislators and
Others from all over the State the
needs and possibilities of prosecut-
ing the Anti-Tuberculosis move
ment in every county of the State.
The two weeks stay in Louis
vile was marked by the greatest
interest and every business and
social organization in the city CO.
operated to make it a complete
success. There was daily at
tendance of 5000 and some Of the
results have already begun to be
seen. The Louisville Health De-
partment has taken an active hand
in the work, the Police Depart
ment has begun to enforce the
Anticipating ordinance, and the
Street Railway Company has an
nounced its intention of disinfect-
ing its cars.
The makeup of the Exhibition
consists of photographs and many
models of buildings for the open
air treatment of consumption. H.
Illustrated lectures are delivered.
1t is being sent to Frankfort by
the Kentucky and the Lexington
Anti-Tuberculosis Association
which will share the expenses.
There have already been presented
before this session of the Legisla-
ture a number of bills against tu-
berculosis. Only two States
California and Tennessee-surpass
Kentucky in the number of deaths
from this disease. One out of
every seven die from it in Ken
lucky.
Leaving Frankfort the Exhibi-
ton will go to Lexington.

OPEN MARKET AT NASHVILLE
City Council Refuses to Gust the
American Tobacco Co.

The special meeting of the City
Council, called by the Mayor of
Maysville upon a petition signed
by eleven Councilmen and a large
number of business men to pass an
ordinance compelling the American
Tobacco Company to cease buying
or receiving Tobacco to their plant
in this city, was the most largely
attended and most strenuous meet
ing ever held in Maysville.
All day Monday of last week the
streets had groups of farmers
arguing the situation and when the
Mayor called the meeting at 2
O'Clock the court house was packed
to the walls. After the call was
read the Mayor stated that he
would like to hear from both sides
of the question.
Former Congressman Kehoe,
Count Judge Newell and County
Attorney Slattery spoke for the
Equity people, and their main
arguments were that they thought
it detrimental to human life and
the property interests of this city
to allow the tobacco company to
continue to buy and receive to-
bacco. They cited the Hopkins
vile and Russellville riots.
City Attorney Collins and Fed
eraI Judge A. NJ. j. Cochran spoke
against the passage of such an
ordinance. Judge Cochran said
that he thought it would be re-
cognition to the world at large
that Maysville was not able to
take care of its interests and
citizens, and he thought it unwisa
to pass such a law; that he thought
the city and county officers were
capable of upholding the law.
Mr.. Collins made an eloquent APP
peal for maintaining all the bust
ness in Maysville.
The Mayor then put the question,
which resulted as follows: For the
ordinance, 5. Against, Z. The
Mayor declared the ordinance lost
The American Tobacco Company'S
large plant is guarddd by twenty
five men.

POOL ROOMS
AND BUCKET SHOPS IN FOR IT.
Legislature Likely to Put These
Gambling Games Out of
Business.

Pool-rOom and bucket-shop gam
bling in Kentucky will have re-
ceived their death blow if the bills
introduced in the Legislature by
Representatives Simmons, of Gov
ington, and Markolf, of Louisville,
are passed. There is little doubt
that both of these measures will 90
through like whirlwind.
The Kentucky Racing Commits
sion recommends the passage of
the anti-poolroom law, the breed
ers of light harness horses demand
it and the people generally are in
open revolt against the continued
operations of the pool rooms.
They are regarded a menace to
society, wealth and good common
veal, SO that it is likely when the
bill comes before the progressive
and intelligent members of the
General Assembly there will not
be dissenting vote.

CAPITOL INQUIRY.
Charges of Graft, Fraud and Ex-
travaganCe to Be Investigated.

This resolution, offered by Mr..
Wilson at Frankfort, will recall
former declarations on the stump
Whereas, In the recent political
campaign it was freely and regu-
larly stated and charged by the
Republican candidates for State
offices in public speeches that the
State Capitol Commission employ
eel an architect to furnish plans and
specifications for the new State
Capitol building at an exorbitant
fee, and,
Whereas, it was implicitly stated,
if not positively charged, that there
was a great deal of graft, extraya-
gance and fraud connected with
the letting of the contracts, and the
erection Of the said new Capitol
building, and
Whereas, the Kentucky State
Capitol Commission was by the
same parties compared with the
State Capitol Commission of Penn
sylvania, where extravaganza,
fraud and graft is admitted by all
men to have run rampant; and,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Speaker Of
the House Of Representatives APP
point commission, composed Of
five Representatives, whose duty it
shall be to thoroughly investigate
the charges of graft, extravaganza
and fraud and report it's finding

can conveniently DO 50.
This committee shall have the
power to summon and examine
witnesses who profess or who have
professed to know anything about
these charges of alleged graft, eX-
travagance and fraud.
The resolution, amended by Mr..
Haswell to the effect that the com
mission shall consist of three Dem
ocrats and two Republicans, was
adopted.

NO SHORTAGE
In Crop of Good Men.
By GOV. Hughes, of New York.

1t is a GREAT MISTAKE to
think that this country is full of
men who pursue only dishonOl
and chicanery. 1t is wrong.
This country is full Of men who
are anxious to attain in their live.
what is HONORABLE A ID
BRAVE and who ask for nothing
but fair chance and a square deal
in the pursuit Of their respective
labors or professions. There is
one thing we should always re-
member. We must never think of
ourselves as APART f II o M
OTHER MEN or other classes of
men. The farmer must regard
the man who works in the factory
as his brother and the State as the
State of all.
1t is important to the State that
we should GROW here something
more than corn. hay or apples.
What we need most urgently is to
grow good men-men with char
acter. And, thank Gcd, the crop
of good men in New York State is
bigger today than it ever was in
all its history
Perhaps | have had as much OPP
portunity as any man to look into
the forms of corruption that have
arisen in connection with our iinan-
cial life and the vast opportunities
it offers. Far be it from me to
minimize the AWFUL waste of
manhood. the waste of splendid
opportunity for noble attainments
by men whom we have seen 90
down before the awful temptations
of that prosperity.
But | cannot forget for one
minute that we have untold NUN
bers who are willing to deal Justly
with their fellow men and ask
nothing more from the state thaa
an equal chance.

Help Is At Hand for Tobacco
Growers.

The friends of the tobacco grow
ers feel that a long step in the way
of legislation favorable to their in
terests was taken when the Com
mittee on Agriculture unanimously
agreed to make favorable report
on the bill of Representative w.
@. McChord, which practically
places the police powers of the
State in charge of the tobacco in
terests.
The tobacco industry as provid-
ed by the bill comes directly under
the Commissioner of Agriculture,
who through an assistant to be
named for this purpose, will deal
directly with the growers, buyers,
manufacturers, etc. To defray
the expense of this supervision, a
tax of ten cents per 1000 pounds
of tobacco sold for the purpose of
manufacture is provided.
The same committee has acted
fayorably on the bill of Represent
alive Crecilius which fixes pen
atty for the seller who violates his
pledge by selling tobacco in pool
and also a penalty for the buyer.

BAKERS REPLY
Judge Who Came Info the Lime. light ia the Standard Oil
 Case
ANSWERS HIS CRITICS

Chicago, August 26.-A dispatch from Goshen, Ind, says: Judge Fran cis E. Baker of the United States circuit court of appeals, which re- versed the decision of Judge Landis fining the Standard Oil company of $29, 1000, replied yesterday to the critics of his court.
 "In the first place." he said, "it was not the Standard Gil company in corporated under the laws of New Jersey, the parent concern, that was on trial, but the Standard Oil com pany of Indiana, an offspring un- doubtedly, but much smaller and weaker organization. But when it came to pass judgment 1t was on the offenses of the parent company that the Indiana offspring was found guilty and it was In accordance with the property and revenues of the par ent company that the fine of the offspring was guaged. If it was the desire and purpose of the court to punish the Standard Oil company or New Jersey, that concern should have | been indicted either jointly or sep arately and have been brought into court.
 '! Every corporation has exactly the same rights as an individual, no more no less. The parent company is of | course. more or less responsible for the acts of the Indiana company. The | people will, sooner or later, realize that the courts are not swayed by any other influence than law and prece- dent. What anyone man may say in regard to the decision of the court
 counts for not more than his opinion. All I know in reality about the case
 is that a common thing has occurred "a motion for a rehearing has been | filed"

City Clerk Sandland is in receipt of communication from Superin- tendent Lake of the Naugatuck di- vision of the Consolidated road, ask ing for further particulars regarding the complaint about girls being an noyed by railroad employees at the Bank street crossing. MT Lake wants day and date for the squirt ing of oil on women's clothing, but whether this can be given or not is something which the clerk does not know, and perhaps the matter will come before the aldermen again at their next meeting. Some of the aldermen know one or two of the offenders and it is hoped that those who do will not be any way back ward about giving their names, for men who would resort to such mean tricks are not entitled to much con sideration.
