John r. Mcmahon, president

cy, makes a contribution to the
published matter concerning the
Jackson trouble. His agency,
he AYERS, was employed by DR..
E. G. McKowen, and it is pre-
sumable that he is giving the
best conclusions arrived at by
his investigator. He reports. as
follows;
| Apparently, the Pink ton
Agency have made certain inves-
LEGATIONS in this matter, and have

the letter in your columns to

correct construction on the facts
developed. Some of the testi-

The Fight Against Consumption.

The Fight Against Consumption.
Every other day sees a sanato-
rum, association. or dispensary
for the treatment or prevention
OF tuberculosis established in
this country, is a statement is
sued today by the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis. During
the months of September and
October, Is associations, 10 sana-
toria, and 5 dispensaries were
started or provided for in the
United States, making a record
of achievement in anti-tuberculo-
sis activity never before equaled
in any country of the world.
| On January l, 1905, there were
in the United States only "a as
sociations for the study and pre-
vention of tuberculosis. By Jan
uary 1, 1909, there will undoubt-
edly be $50 such associations, an
increase of over 800 per cent.
l
The states which lead in the
number of associations are, Mas
sachusetts with rs, New Jersey
with %, New York with 10, Mich
igan with 16, and Pennsylvania
with Ia.
These associations are all phi
, lanthropic in organization, and
, are composed of physicians and
laymen, both men and women,
! who are anxious to see the num-
Der of deaths from tuberculosis
reduced. That such organiza-
tions are instrumental in saving
o life, may be seen from the re-
!, duced death rate in several states
q and cities.
: The increase in the number OF
sanatOria at the present time, Is
f also particularly noteworthy,
since the need tor beds for tu-
o berculosis patients is evident in
every state. There are, at the
u present time, $50 sanatoria and
, hospitals making special provis-
" ions for tuberculosis patients,
a and the entire bed capacity OF all
of these institutions is but 5000.
% When it is considered that there
.. are in the United States, at least
% 100000 people suffering from tn.
e berculosis, 1-3 of which number
o. ought to be in sanatoria or hos
10 pitfalls, the lack of proper bed ca
\. pacity is very evident.
d The dispensary movement, one
h of the later phases in the anti
IT. tuberculosis campaign, is also
30 receiving a great impetus. -Four
" years ago there were only 10 dis
: pensaries in the United States
10 at the present time, there are
9 1856, and new ones are being es
tablished at the rate OF one
"a week. These dispensaries are

OF having employed for the pur-
pose entered at about the eighth
lntercostal space and that in that
region not only was it dangerous
but that it would have positively
been fatal if allowed to penetrate
too far. Looking at this matter
lntelligently it does not appeal to
us that any one conscious of the
danger of such a proceeding
would have selected so vital a
spot for it's execution. A wound
self.inficted cannot be guaged
OF calculated in depth or breadth
and to claim that DR.. McKowen
perpetrated this upon himself
would be attributing to him a
GOODNESS of blood and Indifference
and precision in carrying out
his purpose which no surgeon
living has ever had the hardihood
to do on his own person. We
cannot see any merit to be at
tached to an argument of this
sort. Besides that the claim
that the perforation made in both
the overshirt and undershirt Of
| the victim did not fit or did not
show when put together in order
to demonstrate that the bullet by
which he was struck had pur-
sued direct and undertaking
course between them is utterly
| ridiculous. 1t stands to reason
that these two garments could
never have been made to assume
the same position relative to one
another on the body of DR.. Nc
Kowen as on the occasion in
question. The wrinkles, creases,
' and even the fit is different with
such articles of raiment when
once put on and removed. Tc
compare them side by side is
farcical

matter. That letter is still in

for delivery to me. That letters
were known to have been Of this
character by the officials and

have so characterized them failed
to be correct in their Fremont

ought to be taken in conjunction
with the fact that the negro at

have been advised of the nature
of the communication to him and
must have had it delivered to him
