TOPEKA Kan, October 3.-BeginninG
at Syracuse on the western line Of Kan
sas at 6 o'clock this morning and ending
at Topeka with two monster meetings
tonight, William H. Taft reached the eli
max in crowds and enthusiasm of the
campaign trip he began eleven days ago
in Cincinnati.
In my twenty-seven years residence
in Kansas and my twenty-five years of
campaigning 1 have never seen anything
to equal the triumph Judge Taft has
had today" Gov. Hoch said.
The crowds In Kansas have been phe-
nomenal and the interest of the people
most inspiring. The days developments
leave no doubt that Kansas will be right
on election day. said Mr.. Taft.
Tired But Tickled.
Expressions of qualification and conf
dence in most emphatic language were
also made by w. r. Stubs, nominee for
governor; ]. L. Bristow. nominee for the
United States Senate: Senators Curtis
and Long. National Committeeman Null
vane and State Chairman Dolley. and 1t
was a tired but manifestly happy train
load of national and state politicians that
arrived here tonight on the TAFT speclal.
Emporia, Newton, Hutchinson and Stat
ford furnished the banner crowds of the
day At each of these places the audi
ences numbered many thousands. and In
Garden City, Dodge City. Kinsley, Pea
body, Florence. Strong City and Usage
City the crowds were correspondlngly
large In the fourteen speeches delivered
during the day and evening by Mr.. Taft,
he not only talked in detail of the tariff
and trusts and labor but furnished Kan
sas farmers an itemized account of the
year because of the operation Of. the
principle of protection, as he put it, over
what they made under the democratic en-
forcement Of free trade. This was the
novel feature of his speeches in Kansas
over what he has been saying in the
other states on the trim.

DR.. William +. X. Phillips. dean of the

department, said the greatest value to h..
derived from the congress is the general
publicity II has given TO the subject of
tuberculosis and the public education that
will follow.
People who never knew what tubercu-

tons against the disease because OF the
publicity given through the press, which
is resu ting in the greatest good" DR..

The congress is valuable" he contin-

congress deals to get together and under

cuties and then seek to overcome them -
DIR. Phillips sad another good feature
of the congress was the personal contact
with men engaged in research work and
the interchange of fac,s that have been
developed. This he regards as one of the
most important features OF the meeting.
"Al scientific work depends argely upon
the personality of the man doing or re-

MOTORISTS TO FIGHT
PROPOSED REGULATIONS.
Club Members TO Confer with
Father of Motor We
hiCle Act.

A meeting of the highest Importance
TO Automobiles all over the State will
be held at the clubhouse of the New
Jersey Automobile and Motor Club Fri
gJas' night. for the purpose of discuss
ling with Senator Frelinghuysen,
father Of the present motor vehicle act,
the amendments to that law he has
presented to the Legislature.
The call for the meeting las been
issued by w. Give Crosby, chairman
of the legislative committee of the New
Jersey Club. in order to consider GER
tain concessions to the automobilists
made by Senator Frelinghuysen at a
conference with Mr.. Crosby, r.. a
Greene, OF Newark. and DIR. f. c. Ard
of Plainfield, a fortnight ago.
Mr.. Crosby made his report of the
conference to tho clubs composing the
Associated Automobile Clubs of New
Jersey a few days ago. AS a result
the motorists of North Jersey, repre-
scented by the North Jersey Automo-
bile Club of Paterson n the Auto
mobile Club of Hudson County, have
held Indignation meetings, and refused
to accept the concession held out by
Senator Frelinghuysen. In consequence
the North Jersey Club has chartered
special trolley cars to convey tht
members to the meeting in Newark or
Friday. and a larse delegation from
Jersey City has also been assured. Rep
resentatives from Plainfleld, Atlantic
city. Camden, Cape May. Mercer
County and Morris viii voice the dis
pleasure of the motorists of their Sec
tons of the State.
The chief point of the law to which
the motorists object is embodied in the
principle which Governor Fort has adj
vocated. of taxing motorists through
The State license fee for the damage
which their machines do to the roads
This the a~utomobilists assert is double
taxation. and they propose to fight the
amendment. and If it becomes a law, tc
attack its constitutionality.
I'VE are out to fight" was the senti-
ment expressed both by officials of tho
New Jersey Automobile and MotoI
Club and the New Jersey Automobile
Trade Association. the federation Of
New Jersey dealers.
I'VE automobilists have conceded toe
long things which we knew were u
gust, simply because we felt we would
be willing to do the square thing by
everybody. Now we find that every
wear che restrictions are made a little
harder. the tax raised by leaps and
bounds, and we are now bound to use
every means to gain Justice"

of Arts and Sciences, who were last

stituted the deans of the college, the
scientific school and the arts and
sciences faculty. was a mistake as de-
manding obligatory services from mer

 The article contained as many lies and distorted perversions of truth as 1t contained sentences, for example. it was absolutely false that fee or $10 was paid. It is absolutely false that any hesitation was shown in accepting the physicians services. . It is maliciously false that there was any reason whatever for hesitation to accept his services.
