Washington, JAM 2S.-The constitu-
t1onality of the act Of congress of June
1, 1898, prohibiting railroad companies
engaged in Interstate commerce from
discriminating against members of
labor organizations in the matter of
employment, was called into question
by the case of William Adair VS.. the
United States, which was decided by
the supreme court of the United
States favorable to Adair. The opin-
ion was by Justice Harlan and held
the law to be repugnant to the Con-

The court held that Adair, as mas

Nashville Railroad company, had a
right to discharge an employee be-
cause he was a member of a labor or

WANTS MORE WATER
AT CITY CEMETERY

A citizen who has a personal inter
est in the city cemetery is suggesting
that the council take up the matter Of
improving the water supply at that
place. He believes that for two or
three thousand dollars a tank can be
erected, a gasoline pump installed at
the artesian well and pipes laid to con
vey water in endless amount to every
part of the cemetery, he believing
there will be no scarcity of water in
the well for every purpose. At pres
ent there is not enough water avail
able to meet the needs and that flowing
from the well is allowed to sink again
into the ground without doing any
good.

Laramie, Wyo.. April 81, 1908.
To the Editor of the Republican:
Last night you printed a telegram
from Boston, Mass, in which DR..
Theobald Smith of the Harvard med
ical school was quoted as saying that
he does not believe that tuberculosis
Of cattle can be transmitted to a
human being.
Very often press reports on scientific
subjects are inaccurate. but the state
ment attributed to DR.. Smith is, If
correct, of the very greatest import
ance, and l have accordingly written
him a letter of inquiry, asking for a
report of his address before the Mas
saehusetts Medical society. l hope,
therefore, in a short time to be able
to present your readers with an au-
thentic but n~on-technical account of
his conclusions.
Matter Investigated.
The question of the liability Of hui
man beings to contract cattle tubercu.
iosis has been very thoroughly inves-
tigated in recent years. and the con-
clusions of all investigators have been
In favor of such risk. The controversy
became acute in 1901.
In about 1898 DR.. Theobald Smith
observed that there were slight diff
ierences in the germs taken from cat
tie and those from human beings. The
cattle germs were very slightly short
er and thicker than the human germs,
and did moi grow so rapidly in cul-
lures.
Or. koch's Researches.
AT the International Congress OF
tuberculosis in 1901 DR.. Robert Koch
'he great German investigator, came
out with a startling announcement
ne mad startled the scientists before
IN 1881 he had discovered the tubercle
bacillus, and in 1890 he had prepared
'uoerculin. and asserted that it was a
cure for consumption. A very short
uial had 6isproved this, SO that Koch
was already on record as making
Claims without sufficient foundation.
he now stated that in a number oil
experiments with a culture of human
tuberculosis he had been unable te
inject cattle, and from this he deduced

ed a thorough investigation. The Uni
versity of Wyoming has a full copy of
the work of the British royal commits
sion, large folio size and about eight
e inches thick. l have a synopsis
of the findings, and also Of those of
the German government. / also have
complete reports of the work done by
the bureau of animal industry, and
will be happy to show them to anyone
interested.
German Office Quoted.
The German imperial health office
says: 1.-THE fact that in a number of
cases where organs of the human body
have been found t o have undergone a
tuberculous change, the presence of
tabercle bacilli of the typus bovinus
(cattle type) has been feared, shows
that the human body is capable of re-
ceiving the germs of infection from
excretions containing tubercle bacilli
flor example. milk or from tubercu-
lous flesh of domestic animals. The
possibility of the ~transference of tu-
bercle bacilli through milk or milk
products to the human being may be
considerably diminished by the ef-
ficient combating of tuberculosis in
cattle"
May Infect Men.
The eighth International Veterinary
congress at Buda Pestb in 1905 says
that bovine tubercle bacilli may in
feet men, that tubercle bacilli may be
found in men which can be very dan
gerous to cattle"
The British royal commission says:
tuberculosis of cattle is a cause of
tuberculosis and of fatal tuberculosis
in man."
In This Country.
The bureau of animal industry says:
Bovine tuberculosis may be commun.
icated to human beings, and in such
cases it is usually children that are
affected.
"T~uberculous material from cattle
has the highest virulence for all tested
species Of the mammalian kingdom, to
which man anatomically and physio-
logically belongs. and tuberculous ma
terial from man has a lower resist
ance."
Some Gases Cited.
OF course, it is impossible to make
direct experiments or man, and the
slow spread of tuberculosis generally
makes it impossible to be sure of the
origin. A number of cases have, how.
ever, been collected, of which the fol.
lowing instance is typical:
Twelve girls contracted tubercu-
losis in a young ladies' boarding school
near Paris, France. OF these, five
died. From the fact that the sick and
deceased girls were descended from
healthy ancestors and, above all doubt
showed the phenomena of intestinal
tuberculosis, there was suspicion OF
infection with the food. Full confirma.
ton of this suspicion was found in
the slaughter of a COW which for a
year had served as a ource of milk
supply for the school. The COW had
extensive tuberculosis of the intes-
tines and udder."
1t will be very difficult for DR.. Smith
to supply negative proof sufficient to
counterbalanca the large number OF
similar positiy a Instances on record
