DECLARES PNEUMONIA
IS FROM NASAL GERM
CHICAGO DOCTOR TELLS OF A
NEW DISCOVERY
Expounds Latest Theory OF Disease,
Which He Says Is Not Started
In Pulmonary Cells but
in Nose

CHICAGO, April 30.--The announce
ment of a new theory as to the cause
of Pneumonia and the discovery of a
remedy for the disease was made at
last nights meeting of the Chicago
Medical society.
DIR. II. Manning Fish, who made the
announcement, backed up his asser-
items with a detailed description of a
case of acute pneumonia which, he de-
clared, had been cured in "a hours by
means of the simple method he de-
scribed.
DR.. Fish first declared the seat of the
trouble in pneumonia eases was not.
as is generally supposed, in the lungs,
but in the small cells in the bony
framework at the top of the nose.
The pneumonocQcuS or disease germ,
he said, was not harmful except when
pent UP in cell of this sort. Then,
he explained, it acted like an explosive,
began to expand and was absorbed by
the blood and became one of the most
dangerous of disease germs.
"From these cells the disease works
rapidly down to the lungs, and to all
appearances these organs Immediately
become the seat of the trouble said
the physician. However, the fuel
which is feeding the flames of disease
still is being furnished from the cells
at the top of the nose.
"The simple remedy, consequently, is
to draw this dangerous pus from these
cells. That is what was done in the
case which | have described, and in
"a hours the disease had disappeared.
The lungs, of course, still were af-
fected and it took days before the
patient finally was able to leave his
bed" o

OPPOSE PRESIDENT IN
WATER POWER PLANS
Senator Nelson Declares Plan Would
Deprive States Riparian Land
Owners of Waters Guar
anteed by Law
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON, April 30-The pres
ident's suggestion looking to legisla-
tion authorizing the government to
make a charge for the United States
of the waters of streams for power
purposes was today negatived by the
senate committee on commerce.
Among those who took a position
antagonistic to the president was Sen
ator Nelson, who submitted an elabor-
ate brief in opposition to the presi~
dents views.
He took the position that such a
provision as that desired by the presi-
dent would deprive the states riparian
land owners to the use of waters which
are now guaranteed by law and con-
centrate their disposal and control in
the federal government, an innovation
which, he contended. neither the states
nor the riparian owners could afford to
permit
The committee also gave some con-
sideration to Senator Newland's bill
for the Improvement of the inland
waterways and decided to take up that
subject at a meeting to be held next
Saturday. The bill provides for the
creation of an inland waterways com
mission and proposes an appropriation
of $50 900, 900 a year for the improve
ment of inland water courses.
The subcommittee which has had
the matter under consideration has re-
duced the appropriation it will recon-
mend for the first year to 100000 900.
Originally it was calculated that
much of the money would be derived
from the sale of water power, but if
the action taken by the commerce COM
mission today proves to be decisive,
that source of revenue will be cut off,
and if the Newlands bill becomes law
il will become necessary to find some
other means of carrying it into effect.

COSTLY TRIAL IN ALASKA
ENDS IN ACoUITTAL
Hazey Case, Growing Out Of Murder
Committed In Keystone Canyon
Riots, Costs the Govern
ment About $4,000
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SEATTLE, April 3o.-A special cable
from Juneau, Alaska, says that after
a costly trial to the government Ed
ward c. Hazey, charged with murder
in the second degree inconnection with
the killing of Fred Rinehart in the
keystone canyon riot last fall. has
been acquitted by jury in the federal
court, which took just one ballot to
reach its decision.
The tragedy grew out of the deter
mination of Guggenheim employees to
cross the right of way claimed exclu-
sively by the Alaska Home railway
in the construction of the Copper River
railroad.
In announcing the acquittal on this
charge the court instructed the defense
to be prepared to return in December
with it's witnesses to resume the hear
ing on four other indictments against
Hazey in connection with the Keystone
canyon riot, should the department of
justice at Washington order further
prosecution.
The present hearing has been in
progress thirty days and will cost the
government something like 100000 be-
cause of the change of venue taken
from Valdez. A small army of wit
nesses were brought here to testify for
the prosecution.

Intention of Leaders in Congress to
Pass Measure introduced Yester-

ny Associated Press.

ny Associated Press
WASHINGTON, April 30.--Chairman
Payne of the house committee on ways
and means today introduced a bill to
amend the existing tariff laws govern
ing importations into the Philippines.
1t bears no relation whatever to the
tariff bills to govern importations from
the islands into the United States and
applies solely to producing conditions
in the Philippines.
1t is the intention of the leaders In
congress to pass the bill at this ses-
sion.
The bill is an administration meas
ure, having been recommended by the
PHILIPPINE commission, the Philippine
commissioners here, the insuiar bureau
and the secretary of war.
The adding of section G., in para
graph 80 of the existing law, is primar-
lily for the purpose of placing the local
button industry of the islands in a
position to compete with similar pro-
ducts imported.
BY the insertion of d new paragraph,
No. 34Sh, it is intended to establish
the free entry of agricultural machin-
cry, apparatus and implements, road
machinery, steam and other motor
plows into the islands in order to as
the construction of roads.
The duty on mining, smelling and re-
ducing machinery is reduced to per
cent ad valorem, which is the mini
mum duty for other machinery not
given free entry entirely. This is TO
encourage the development of mines.
In order to make the classification
of spirits imported into the islands
conform to the classification given by
the internal revenue laws of the
United States, there Is inserted in
Paragraph 3US an additional provision
affecting section A, to make spirits
classified under this section, to pay
duty according to the measurements;
that is, each litre by measurement will
pay duty as a litre regardless of wheth-
er 1t was a proof litre. but when litre
by measurement contains more than a
proof litre it is subject to a surtax
Paragraph 397 is changed so that all
materials for the construction of re-
pair of vessels may be imported free
of duty to enable local shipbuilders
and repairers to compete with such
industries at other oriental ports,
where the duties are either lower or
there are none, the latter being the
case at Hongkong.
The final change proposed in the
Payne bill does away with the con-
sular invoice requirement which has
not been found to be of any advantage
to the Philippine customs officials, and
is of no monetary advantage to the
Philippine government but is conn
planned of as occasioning a large addi-
tional expense to the importers and as
a source of much confusion to those
transacting business with firms In the
islands.
