the city to be given for such right of
way, provided the same did not inter-

CAPITAL TODAY,
MAKE TUBERCULAR
TEST ON HUMANS
DEVELOPMENT OF DISEASE BY
lNOCCULATION is TO BE SHOWN
BY PHYSICIANS -DIScOVERlES
TO BE REVEALED.

Washington, Sept. 2S-The official
opening Of the sixth triennial interna-
tional congress on tuberculosis here
today at which scientists of interna
tional fame, members of the diplo-
matte corps, philanthropists and repre-
sentatives Of practically every civiliz-
ed nation were present, was marked
by simple ceremonies. Secretary of
the Treasury Cortelyou was presiding
officer and as the personal representa-
tive of the president he extended an
official welcome on behalf of the gov
ernment. The welcome to the capital
was extended by District Commission
er Mcfarland, followed by brief re-
sponses by representatives Of about
thirty foreign countries.
One of the most interesting features
Of the congress looked forward to
with keen delight by the assembled
scientists is possible test with hui
man subjects that will disclose the
type, degree and stage, of tuberculosis
infection. DR.. D. Lazlo Detore, an
Austrian scientist, has developed the
new method of diagnosis, which re-
duires inocculauon by tubercle baceili.
A reaction In twenty-four hours
shows whether the atient is suffering
from human or bovine tuberculosis
and approved treatment can be
promptly applied. The subjects for
the test have not volunteered but it
is hoped they will before the close Of
the congress.
Representatives from every civilized
nation will meet in the sixth world
wide conference to reaffirm declara-
tlons of war on tuberculosis, a foe
that annually carries off more than L.
! 100000 of the human race The prom
Use is now held out that in another
decade or so it will be eliminated
| from the human species.
Discoveries to be Revealed.
During the three years that have
elapsed since the last congress on tu-
berculosis many scientific discoveries
have been made in the development Of
the disease, it's cause and progress
and the best methods of prevention
and treatment. These discoveries are
to be presented for discussion.
The scientists have guarded their
discoveries well. They wish to prove
the correctness of their work before
the result is made known, that false
hopes may not be aroused. They are

The report, which was made at the

the functions of the United States gov.
ernment should not be extended to
the spheres more properly occupied

or individual effort.
'The savings system of the major

ord Of this association that it is the

the remaining states.
1--WE point with pride to the record
Of the savings institutions of the
United States. While the figures for

the above figures, however, fail to rep

Death Rate per Thousand Employed. :.
The reports received indicate a

3.31 in 1906 and 4S6 in 1907, and
the number of tons mined for each

145,471. The state which had the
lowest death rate per thousand (O.95)
in 1907 was Missouri, where 499,742
tons of coal were mined for each life
lost. Michigan was second on the roll
of honor as far as death rate per
thousand employees was concerned,
and Kentucky was second in the num-
Der of tons mined for each life lost.
The death rate in Michigan was 1.76

Kentucky mined 336,O35 tons of coal

14-YEAR-OLD BOY A SUICIDE.
His Body is Found Hanging to Tree
Near PeIIa-He Disappeared From
Knoxville Week AGO,

Pella, Sept. 2S.-The body of boy
was found hanging from the branches
of tree in bunch of willows just
outside the city of Pella Sunday. 1t
was discovered by a young lad, who
called a couple of workmen. The
body was that of a boy about 4 years
old He had evidently climbed the
tree and after fastening wire about
four feet long around his neck, had
jumped off. The feet swung about
ten feet from the ground and the
corpse was in a terrible condition. The
features were not recognizable, so the
body must have been hanging there
for some time.
The clothes answered to the descrip-
tion of those of young boy, Elmer
Mcclure, who disappeared from Knox
vile about week ago. His parents
identified him later.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Sept. %. = The
fourth day OF Taft's continuance in
the campaign ended here Saturday
night with the delivery of his views
in favor of the postal savings banks,
and in opposition to the Bryan
theories regarding government guar
antee of bank deposits. In a brief
statement, decidedly to the point,
Taft made an answer to the critl-
cism of himself by Foraker. He had
recommended Judge Doyle, a private
individual, for appointment as Judge,
because Of Doyles great professional
attainments and high character. In do
ing so he explained to the president
that DOYLE had acted as attorney for
the Standard Oil and other corpora
tions. The president had chosen to
appoint Judge Taylor instead. AS to
Foraker, Taft commented that he 'ar-
cues that this is justification for
him, while a senator Of the United

ployment from the Standard Oil and

Mr.. Taft said in his speech on Sc.
curity of bank deposits:
"Mr. Bryan says that as the gov.

Says Haskell Should

til Given Nom
Partisan Trial
CRITICIsES USE OF
OFFICE BY PRESIDENT

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept 28.-Defend-
ing his knowledge Of Governor Has
kell against the charges which have
been brought against him until the
charges can be examined in some
court where partisanship does not
bias" Bryan Saturday gave out for
publication his reply to President
Roosevelt's recent letter in response
to his telegram on the subject. Bryan
speaks of the election of Haskell as
governor OF Oklahoma, and says that
1.-The constitution was adopted and
Haskell elected in spite Of the efforts
of your administration and in spite of
the speech made in Oklahoma by
Taft"
Bryan charges, among other things,
that the steel trust. with your ex-
press consent" purchased one of It's
largest rivals and thus obtained con-
troll Of more than so per cent of the
total output. He asks the president If
he will insist "that in permitting this
you show less favor to monopolistic
corporations than | do in opposing it. y
Charges Against Hughes.
Bryan abruptly charged that GOV
ernor Hughes, who is quoted by
Roosevelt as having "riddled the Dem
ocratic trust remedy" was himself a
beneficiary of trusts and cities the
campaign contributions to the Hughes
election fund two years ago. Among
these are J. P. Morgan, who he says
gave $4,000; John D. Rockefeller,
$4,000; Andrew Carnegie, $4,000 and
Nelson Cromwell, $1,000
Taft and Trust Question.
Pursuing this subject further, Bryan
says that as the president quotes
Hughes he takes it for granted that
Taft has not expressed himself salts
factorily on the trust question. Bryan
says Haskell voluntarily resigned
from the committee that he might be
more free to prosecute those who have
brought charges against him. He
says:
"You even charge that my connec-
ton with Haskell's election as mem
Der of the resolutions committee and
as treasurer of the committee raises
question as to my sincerity as an
opponent of trusts and monopolies. AS
an individual, and as candidate of

President Makesa a Re
ply to Bryan's Latest
Letter and Ridicules
the Nebraskan's
Promises
HASKELL COMES IN
FOR ANOTHER ROAST

washington, D. c., Sept. 2S.-Wil-
liam j. Bryan and the Democratic
party are subject to what is probably
the most bitter rebuke in the history
of American politics in statement
issued by the president last night.
The statement is in reply to the
criticism made upon the president, Mr..
Taft, and the Republican party by
Mr.. Bryan Saturday.
Mr.. Bryan is accused of trickery, of
attempting to fool the public by false
charges, and Of trying to shield one of
his own managers who was guilty of
all sorts of evil doings, both against
the fairness Of politics and the laws
OF the nation.
Haskell Is Hard Hit.
This later charge concerns Gov. c.
N. Haskell of Oklahoma. Mr.. Roose-
welt say Haskell's deeds either were
known to Mr.. Bryan at the time he
was chosen as treasurer of the Demo
cratic national committee and con.
doned by him or the Nebraskan was
guilty OF extreme carelessness in
choosing his advisers without inquring
into their status, moral or political.
That the latter seems the more likely
is the opinion held by Mr.. Roosevelt.
In support of this opinion he quotes
the statement of an Oklahoma editor
who says he offered Mr.. Bryan proof
of HaskelPs guilt, but that Bryan ig-
nored his pleas, tore up his proof, and
continued to aid Haskells campaign.
Some Charges Against Haskell.
Mr.. Roosevelt names some of the
evils Of which he says Haskell is
guilty. There are many others, he
says, which he has not the time to
discuss at present Some of the
charges against the Oklahoma COVER.
nor are:
That Haskell, as governor Of Okla.
homa, gave illegal privileges to the
Prairie Oil and Gas company, a sub.
sidiary of the Standard Oil trust.
That he secured title town lots in
Muskogee, Okla, by fraud, DRAWING
them by the use of a dummy" Has.
keII now is under Indictment on this
charge, he says.
That Haskell offered fee Of $500

will become the Democratic leader OF
