the quantity from time to time.

Denver-That Robert Mcdowell,
for whose murder in 1904 John Aus

life sentences in the Colorado peniten-

cured, and upon which he hopes to Sc
cure the release of his two clients.
Talbot has in his possession an af-
fIdavit made by Carl Kash Of Deer
creek, Jefferson county, Colorado, to
the effect that he saw Mcdowell at
Dale creek, near Fort Russell, Wyom-
ing, while he (Kash) was employed
there as carpenter by the government.
The affidavit was taken Monday and
includes a copy Of letter Of recon-
inendation given to Kash by o. l..
Rrunzell. an officer of the Second
United States infantry, under whom
he worked.
Kash says he first met Mcdowell in
september, 1908, when he stayed over
light with him at his place on Wild
Cat creek in Morgan county. Two
weeks after this he says he again met
Mcdowell in Denver at Twenty-first

rode along on horseback; that he dis

INTERNATIONAL GATHERING AT
WASHINGTON TO WAR ON
TUBERCULOSIS.
MEDICAL SCIENTISTS
OPENED BY SECRETARY coRTEL
YOU, WITH DR.. RoeT. KOCH
ON THE STAND.

Washington.-Medical scientists rep,
resenting every civilized nation united
Monday with their brothers in Amer.
ita in an effort to solve the problem Of
how best to cope with tuberculosis.
The occasion was the official opening
Of the sixth triennial international con-
gress on tuberculosis.
The great auditorium OF the new ma
tional museum was filled with men who
lave consecrated their best talents to
the study of tuberculosis, representa-
tives Of the sovereigns of foreign coun-
triss and high officials of the govern
ment.
When Secretary of the Treasury Cor
telyou, as the personal representative
of the President, officially declared the
congress open, there were grouped on
the platform such distinguished men
as DR.. Robert Koch, discoverer of the
tubeTcule bacillus; DR.. A Calmette of
Paris, DR.. R. w. Philip of Edinburgh.
founder of the first tuberculosis dispen-
sary; Dr. Simon Won Unterberger, hon
orary physician to his majestys court
of st. Petersburg, and many others.
When DR.. Koch arose to respond in
behalf of the German government there
was a remarkable demonstration in his
honor, men and women waving hats
and handkerchiefs for nearly five min
utes.
The official welcome on behalf of
the United States government was ex-
tended by Secretary Cortelyou. Then
followed the response of the official
representatives of thirty foreign coun-
tries.
When his name was called, DR.. Koch
declared that the German takes a par
ticular interest in all that tends to the
solution of the tuberculosis problem
and that his government would watch
with the keenest interest the delibera-
tions of this congress. The tuberculo-
sis situation in Germany, he said, has
become distinctly favorable during the
past three decades, the mortality from
tuberculosis in Prussia having been re-
duced practically one-half.
I'VE are active in trying not only to
maintain but enhance the diminution."
said the speaker. For a more thor
ough study of tuberculosis in all its as
poets, and in order to find new ways
and means for effectually combating
tuberculosis, the Robert Koch Stiftung
has been created All nations. he
added, would benefit by the work of
that institution.
DR.. Jee, the Cninese delegate, de-
clared that Notwithstanding tuberculo-
sis has a strong hold upon his country.
his government was doing little for the
prevention of the disease. He ex-
pressed the hope that the next con-
gress would be held in China.
At the conclusion of the responses
to Secretary Cortelyou's address the
congress adjourned and will not again
meet in general session until October
3rd.
