CLAIMS CLABBERED
MILK SURE REMEDY
FOR TUBERCULOSIS
Restaurant Keeper Declares He Has
Ocular Proof Where Curdled
LacteaI Fluid Has Cured
Consumption

"Talk about your Battle Creek meth
DDS, your fresh air crusades and your
New Thought ways of curing people,
but / believe, with good reason, the
best thing in the world for a sick per-
son, especially a sufferer from pull
monary troubles, is clabbered milk"
said proprietor of a small restaurant
on Los Angeles street yesterday.
"I'm not a doctor, and I'm not giving
any official statements" continued the
man with the new theory, land per-
sons don't seem to want to know the
truth about things when it's offered
them, anyhow; but / tell you l have
known clabbered milk to cure more
than one case of consumption.
"You know John Upton, a drug clerk
over on the west side? Well, he came
to Los Angeles a year ago and when
he arrived he didn't look as though
he could live a week. He was all
down and out when he got here, PEN
niless and dying, which is enough to
make any man feel detected. The first
place he struck was my shop, and l
gave him a saucer of clabbered milk,
for which he thanked me, and then
went away. Next day he came back
and asked for another saucer of milk.
Pretty soon he secured a position, but
he still looked as though he would die.
However, he kept coming to my place
every day some days two or three
times, to procure clabbered milk. He
said he didn't know why, but it seemed
to stimulate and make him stronger.
To-day he is fieshy as you'd want to
see a man. and can eat as much as
he wants 1 know Tn cranky ON the
subject. 1 give every sick looking
fellow who comes in here a saucer Of
curdled milk and all seem to relish it..
| know it can't hurt them any worse
than patent medicines.
Pm not doctor or chemist or any
thing of that Sort but / know clab-
bered milk is a splendid light and
nourishing food; that it allays fever,
and i am certain it is a germ de-
stroyer."

by the death of Frank P. Sargent, and
made known his intention to reappoint
to their respective positions w. D.

chairman of the interstate commerce
commission.
Mr. Keefe is president of the Inter
national Association of Longshoremen
and former vice president of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor.
During the recent campaign Mr.
Keefe announced his support of Judge

of Tafts workers in labor circles.
The president signed his commission
today and he received it from the
hands of Secretary Straus.
At the expiration of his term of Of
flee early this month Collector Crun
at Charleston will be reappointed.
There was a long and bitter fight
on the original appointment OF MI
Crum because he is a negro.
For several years his name was hung
I'D in the senate and the people OF
Charleston stubbornly fought his con-
firmation.
AS chairman of the Interstate COM
MERGE commission Mr.. Knapp, who has
been identified with the commission for
eighteen years, has made a record
which has won the admiration of the
president, and at the expiration of his
present term, the first of the year, the
president will reappoint him.

QUESTION OF THAW'S
INSANITY IS REVIVED
Former Governor Stone of Pennsyl-
Vanla Declares Lawyer Wants
$4,000 for Holding Down
a Chair

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. It's 1t the
purpose of these bankruptcy proceed
ings to raise the question of Thaw' s
insanity in the United States court?'
asked Judge Burlington, who with
Judges Dallas and Gray, is hearing ar
guments in the matter of. the appeal to
bring Harry X. Thaw from Matteawan
asylum to Pittsburg to testify in bank
ruptcy proceedings.
Former Governor Stone, at whom the
question was directed, replied he was
in court in the interest of a writ Of
habeas corpus to bring Thaw to
Pittsburg, where his assistance was
needed properly to marshal his estate
and that he did not know what Thaw's
creditors might do.
The answer proved to be the most
interesting incident in the first days
proceedings in the Thaw case in the
United States circuit court of appeals,
which will review the decision of Judge
Young of the United States court for
the western district of Pennsylvania,
who dismissed a writ of habeas corpus
issued by Judge Archibald of the
United States court for the middle dis
trict of Pennsylvania.
Judge Burlington wanted to know
what Thaw could testify to if he at
tended a meeting of creditors in Pitts
Jul anu NIL OlOit 1GBllGkl Atlell ilC
could tell of contracts he had made
with his brother and sisters growing
out of their fathers WILL of contracts
and agreements with alienists and
many other matters. He said there
may possibly be some fraudulent
claims among those presented by his
creditors and bills that might be prop
erly disputed.
For instance" added Mr.. Stone, "a
lawyer named Gleason has been given
$780, 900 by Thaw and wants $780, 600 more
and all he did was to hold down a
chair at one of Thaw's trials"
Judge Burlington also wanted to
know if it was the purpose to return
Thaw to New York after he had testi-
fed in the bankruptcy proceedings and
counsel replied that it was.

TARIFF REVISERS
DISCUSS COTTON
TWO IMPORTANT SCHEDULES
ARE INVESTIGATED
SILK AND SILK GOODS AMONG
SUBJECTS TAKEN UP
Ways and Means Committee VIII Re-
ceive Complaint from Soap Manu-
facturers Relative to Duty
on TalloW

WASHINGTON, Dec. l. 49, Today's
hearing ON the proposed tariff revision
formed one of the most important of
the entire series held by the house
ways and means committee.
Cotton manufactures and silks and
silk goods were the two important
schedules taken up. Large delegations
of manufacturers from cotton manufac-
turing centers were on hand to pre-
sent their views.
An important gathering of repre-
sentatives of the soap industry was
held in Washington last night. 1t is
estimated that Sc per cent of the soap
manufacturers in the United States,
having an aggregate of over $75,000,0 600
of capital, were represented.
Many arguments were advanced and
committees were appointed to prepare
briefs to be filed with the ways and
means committee, stating the tariff on
tallow is unjust and has not been eff
fective as a revenue producer.
Among the other articles on which
the soap men claim there should be NO
duty are cocoanut oil, alkalis, soda ash
and caustic soda.
SILK and SILK Goods
Silk and silk goods were taken up
first at today's hearing. f. w. Chimney
of Manchester, Conn.,, president of the
Silk Association of America, said the
importers and manufacturers were try
ing to agree upon schedule of duties
on silk goods, which they intended to
present to the committee.
B. A. Leayitt, on behalf of the ribbon
manufacturers of New York, asked that
duties be imposed on ribbons woven in
the fabric. He said If the increased
protection was not granted the ribbon
manufacturers would have to go out
Of business.
A specific duty instead of the present
ad valorem duty was asked for on silk
gloves by julius Kayser of New York,
on artificial silk by Charles A. Emet of
Randolph, Pa, and on silk velvet by
Charles Blumenthal of Shelton, Conn.
Representative Frank Clark of F'lori-
da argued for a protective duty on
Egyptian, West Indian and other long
staple cotton. He suggested that a
tariff commission should have charge
of the tariff.

EXIT ALDRICH BILL
1T HAS BEEN TABLED BY HOUSE
COMMITTEE ON BANKING
AND CURRENCY.
THE VREELAND BILL NEXT
The Latter Measure May Pass the
House and Financial Law
Can Be Perfected in
Conference.

Washington, Apr. 1S.-The house
committee on banking and currency
voted unanimously Friday to table the
Aldrich financial bill. 1t also was de-
cided to give a hearing Saturday to
Representative Vreeland of New York,
who recently introduced a financial
bill which is looked upon as a sub
stitute for the Aldrich measure.
The discussion in committee was
brief. The only point debated was as
to whether or not the committee
should make formal report giving
it's reasons to the house for its unfav-
orable action, and the conclusion final
ly was reached that no reasons should
be given. Consequently, the commit
tees report will be a mere statement
of the action of the committee.
The tabling of the Aldrich bill
will result in currency legislation be-
ing perfected by the conferees of the
two branches of congress if the house
carries out the probable program of
now passing the Vreeland bill. In that
to the senate after all, the enacting
clause would be struck out and the
provisions of the Aldrich bill substi-
tuted. The effect would be to put both
the Vreeland and Aldrich bills into
the conference and from them a cur
rency bill would be probably agreed
upon.
The Vreeland bill is not hostile in
character to the form of legislation
provided by the bill which was passed
by the senate and therefore the action
of the house committee on banking
and currency in the event its course
is followed by favorable report on
the Vreeland bill as substitute, does
not indicate that there will be no cur
rency legislation at this session OF
congress as the house probably will
pass that measure.
