still running as it uses much associa'
ton tobacco of the low grades. II

HOPKINsvILLF APPLIES
For a Date With The Tuber-
culosis Exhibition.

Nashville, Tenn, April 14.-Ap-
pIications for holding the American
tuberculosis Exhibition continue to
reach the temporary headquarters
in this city. Practically every siz-
able city in Kentucky, Tennessee and
Alabama has presented its claims for
exhibition. Those applications are
being considered at the National
headquarters in New York City, al
though there are not enough months
in the year to take care of near all
of them.
The latest applicant is Hopkins
vile, Kentucky, which is represent
ed in the correspondence by Mr.. R.
L. Woodland, who has asked Mr.. N.
N. Cullen Of Nashville to intercede
for him. 1t s expected that fuller
announcement of the itinerary of
the Exhibition in these three states
will be made within few days.
The exhibit will be located in Ala
bama cities during April and May.
The Exhibit has been shown in the
leading cities Of Canada, Mexico and
the United States, with the holding
of hundreds of meetings, an attend
ance of 100000, the publication
of thousands of columns in the news
papers, and the distribution of sever
al million pieces of printed matter.
The Exhibit
Consists of charts, maps, models
of tents and buildings, photographs
and pictures showing causes leading
to consumption, demonstration of
living in the open, etc., and several
hundred slides used with the ad-
dresses given a number of times each
day Fand night. There is nothing
disagreeable or dangerous; no pa
tients treated; no remedies sold or
advertised: no promotion of any
commercial or private interest.
The Purpose
Is to show the means Of prevention
and cure, and to secure far-reach-
ing press and platform propaganda
against this preventable and durable
disease.

CANDIDATES IN BERKELEY
Newton and Foss Opposed to
County Ring and Machine

BERKELEY, Aug. 2.-Berkeley will
have candidates for supervisor galore
before the next week is out.S The names
of E. e. Newton and FredSFoss have
been presented for consideration. New
ton was a member of the board of free
holders which framed the proposed new
charter and is one of the most promi-
nent men in improvement club work in
this city. He is in the realty business.
Fred Foss is a lumber merchant and
former president of the chamber of
commerce.
Both of these men are antf-machine
candidates. They are strongly identi-
fed with the battle against the county
ring and are in hearty accord with the
work of the Lincoln Roosevelt republi-
can league.
The candidacy of Walter Woolsey, a
machine man and member of the Her
rim republican county committee, who
voted for the infamous gerrymander Of
the county, has been received cOldly in
this city In fact, Woolsey's name,
which is linked with that Of Charlie
Thomas, his campaign manager, is a
political frost.
Woolsey has gone into the fight as an
out and out machine candidate. His
sole backing is Thomas, County Clerk
Cook and the county ring. His candi-
dacy is admittedly machine move In
an attempt to capture the 10 delegates
from the southern end of Berkeley and
the north end of Oakland for the ma
chine.
This disclosure has settled any chance
that Woolsey might have had to make
a showing. The sentiment in this por-
tion of the fifty-second assembly dis
trict is SO strong against the machine
slightest leaning In that direction is
beaten before he starts.

CHARITY WORKERS
LABOR IS PRAISED
Booklet Is Issued Conmemora.
tive of Ten Years Service
of P0trer0 Settlement

The completion of 10 years of serv-
ice by the Potrero nurses settlement
is commemorated in a tasteful booklet
just issued descriptive of the varied
lines of social helpfulness in which it's
workers have been engaged. The trus-
tees of the institution, President Ben
jamin Ide Wheeler of the University
of California, Rev. Joseph Worcester
John Galen Howard. Mrs. William H
Crocker and Miss Octavine Briggs, at
the recent annual meeting, reviewed
the progress of the last year. A friend
provided the funds to publish the ap-
preciative sketch.
Through the efforts of the settle
ment the board of education was in
duced to establish a night school in
the Potrero last spring at which nearly
100 of the Russians living in the dis
trict have received instruction in Eng.
lish and the principles of American
citizenship. The federal government
recognizing the good understanding 6
which the work of the settlement had
brought about between it's members and
the members of the Russian colony, has
recently secured the aid of the nurses
in securing data desired by the immi-
grafton bureau.
The fact that over 1900 visits were
paid last year to the homes of the sick
and that nearly 1000 dispensary cases
were treated at the home shows the
scope of the nurses more immediate
work, which has necessarily been cur
tailed recently through decrease ir
the working force.
OF the $11.967 given the settlement
last year $S,401 was expended fol
nurses and $3,217 for other relief o.
the needy sick. A fortnightly lecturs
and concert course was established
this year and the settlement is now
completing a small building in which
will be placed district library.

people are camped there in the open,
their only protection being shelters
built of brush or blankets, while con-

Of smoke by which they are sur

FLAMES PREVENT ESCAPE
For a time communication with the
towns to the east was kept open, but
with the burning of the bridges across
the Elk river this was closed Scat
tered through the valley are many
small prairies and all OF these have
their groups OF refugees. The hills in
all directions are enveloped in flames,
which cut off every avenue Of escape.
The fire spread with unprecedented
rapidity and it is feared that several
parties that tried to get through the
pass have been cut off. Families have
been separated and there is at present
no means Of checking up the fatalities.
