TO ACCEPT
NETHERLANDS NOTE
Latest Move Of Castro in In
ternatiOna| Dispute.

Willemstad, Curacao, Sept 30.-1t
is reported here from Venezuela that
President Castro has refused TO re-
ceive from Baron Seckendorff, the
German minister at Caracas, the Sec
ond note of The Netherlands govern
ment on the difficulties between that
country and Venezuela. Castro argues
that the German minister is entitled
only to watch over Hollands interests
In Venezuela and that he cannot as
sumo the functions of an intermediary
between The Netherlands government
and his own. According to these re-
ports President Castro will insist that
this note be presented by special
envoy from The Netherlands.
In Willemstad President Castro's
course is regarded as nothing more
than a means to postpone any action
by The Netherlands government
against the ports Of Venezuela.

SAYS He NEVER USED IT
Finding of Pass Issued to John w.
Kern Brings Out Statement.

Connersville, Ind, Sept. 30.-The
finding of a little red leather note
book, with the name of John w.
Kern stamped in gilt on it's cover,
within it pass over the Big Four
railroad issued to John W. Kern and
good till Dec. 81, 1908, following the
Democratic vice presidential NOM
inee's visit to the Connersville free
fair, has brought from Bryan's run
ming mate the admission that he did
have Big Four pass.
The tale of the find, accompanied
by an assertion that several other Big
Four passes were in the Kern note
book when it was seen by a reporter,
has awakened much interest here.
In Mansfield, o., at the Democratic
state campaign opening, Mr.. Kern
said he did not know he had lost
pass, but said the Big Four, for which
he had appeared as counsel In several
damage suits, had sent him pass to
take him to trial at Winchester, Ind
He had not had occasion to use the
pass, he said, and did not know he
had lost it. If it was an annual pass
he did not know It,

Jap RETRENCHMENT PLANS
Projected Enterprises viii Be De

Kioto, Sept. 3o.-Postponement Of
government undertakings involving
the expenditure of 100000, 900, in ac-
cordance with the policy recently an
nounced by Premier Katsura, does not
mean that the government has ceased
activity In this direction. It is au-
thoritatively stated that the funda-
mental principle of the postp0nement
consists in so arranging the funds for
the projected enterprises that they
may be carried out without retrench-
ment, but by deferring their compile
tion three or four years. In recent
years there has developed consider
able growth of the annual surplus,
which 1t is expected the government

ing to the Avanti Cardinal Vannutelli
received these complaints in London
at the time of the Eucharistic congress
and transmitted them to the pope. In
the event of Merry del Walls retire
ment he probably will be succeeded
by Cardinal Rampolla, who formerly
held this office. Rampolla's return to
power would mean a policy of digni-
fed Cancellation with regard to France

ates Sensation by Statements Made
in Address Before International Con-
eress on Tubercuiosis-YesrIy Cost
to the Country From Deaths by Con-
sumption Placed at $1,000, ,o0o, 900.
Washington, Sept. 30.-That 5,000,-
600 people now living in the United
States are doomed to fill consump-
tiyes' graves unless something is done
to prevent it was the startling declara-
tion of Professor Irving Fisher of Yale
in an address on The Cost of Tuber-
culosis" before the international con-
gress on tuberculosis. Professor Fish
er's address, which was the feature of
the day, created sensation among
the hundreds who listened to his state
ments.
Professor Fisher further declared
that the $4,000 persons who die of
consumption annually in this country
cost in hard cash, over $1,000, 100000
year.
In section /, in which it is expected
the most of the scientific discussions
and discoveries will develop, there was
discussion of great Importance to
the congress when Professor Almett
Of Lille, France, director Of the Pas
teur Institution, advanced the theory
that tubereule baccilli are taken into
the system by swallowing. Hereto
fore inhalation has been considered
the principal method of contracting
consumption. Infection by inhalation
was warmly defended by Professor
Tendeloo of Holland.
Past Assistant Surgeon Victor G.
Heifer of the United States public
health and marine hospital service
and director of health of the Philip
pine islands read an interesting paper
In which he asserted that in tropical
countries, where tuberculosis and

| tion OF the hook worm produced better
| results in diminishing the mortality
from tuberculosis than any other meas.

ting that the law firm of which he Is
capacity for the Waters-Pierce Oil
company Judge Nagels statement
was called forth by the statement
made by Judge Henry S. Priest of ST.
Louis, Democrat, who was referred
to by President Roosevelt in a letter
to Mr.. Bryan as trust attorney sup
porting Mr.. Evan. Mr.. Priest admit
ted that he he been retained in le-
stated that Judge Nagel, Republican
national committeeman from Mis-
souri,, was similarly retained.
Judge Nagel, in his statement, de-
clares that the employment of his
firm by the Waters-Pierce company
began some years ago, when they un-
dertook an examination of the Mis-
souri, laws with reference to the OPP
GRAFTON of the Waters-Pierce company
under them. When Attorney General
Hadley began his suit to oust the CON-
pany Judge NaGels firm was engaged
to direct the defense.
"In the course of a few months"
says the statement, 1T developed that
our relation to the case was not what
we had understood 1t to be. Our firm
thersupon refused to receive further
fees as general counsel and asked the
consent of our client to withdraw
from the particular case in question.
This was refused"
Since then, Judge Nagel concludes,
the firms connection with the COM
pany has been confined to this one
case, presenting those points of law on
which they believe decision in the
case must finally turn.
