Against tuberculosis

NEW YORK, Dec. 3l.-With tho
closing OF the present year and on the
eve of the new year the campaign
against tuberculosis in the United
States exhibits tho most remarkable
progress that any movement for social
bcttormcnt has ever shown In this
country During the past year, the
amount Of activity and tho number Of
people who have been reached by ihis
activity has been far in excess of sim-
liar work that has been carried on dur
Ing the four years previous.
Measured by dollars. the campaign
against tuberculosis in the United
States during the year 1905, has cost
well over "a million. Measured In the
number OF workers the campaign has
enlisted hundreds of thousands Tn It's
ranks Measured hy the number of
institutions and organizations that
have bcon established during The year
1905. more work of this sort has boon
accomplished than during the entire
period before january ! OF the year
just closing. For instance before jan
uary 1. 1908. there were only ~ dis
pensarics In the United States pro-
lvidlng special treatment for tuhcrcu-
number had increased 90 slightly over
100. During the year 1905 alone over
100 dispcnsarics providing special
treatment for tuborculous patients have
been opened. The number OF tuber-
culosis sanatoria and hospitals opened
in tho year 1908 Us more than SO, a
figure which Is four times that OF the
amount of progress shown In this line
In any other year before 1908. The
number of associations having for their
object the study or prevention of con-
sumption. established during the year
1908. totals up TO l20, which figure
again IS more than the entire number

BOGUS GOLD PIECE.

{ bogus twenty-dollar gold piece came to light today when a Mexican presented coin of that denomination to P. Margison, merchant on c ave nue, in payment of some goods he had ordered. Margison handed the coin to William Kline who was asked to provide the proper change. Kline was careful, not to say prudent, and before he passed over the change ne examined the coin closely and a feel ing of personal vindication for hIs prudence passed over him when he located ulmitakable evidence that the cain was bogus. It had been doctoreu in the manner of otter coins located here some time ago and apparently was of the same coinage. The outer faces of a genuine coin had been re- moved. the gold in the center ex- tracted and the faces moulded togetn- CT with a base metal

 ID GIVE THE ALARM
And As Consequence Two Douglas Houses Burn
 To Ground.

DOUGLAS, Oct. l3.-(SpecalO- The fire alarm was turned n abou midnight Sunday night for a fir, which broke out in a dwelling owned by Mike Shaya on the corner of Thir teenth street and c avenue, and occu pied by Spaniords. Before the fire could be placed under control it caught Tn the house adjoining occupied by Shaya and the two houses were prac ticaily ruined.
 The first intimation which MT Shaya had that there was fire iI the community he was scared by the window of his own house falling in and awakening himself and wife, who were sound asleep. In his excitement to save his family he grabbed bis baby and rushed out of the house, leaving his trousers containing S175 in cash, his gold watch and six. shooter.
 The fire company made fine time to the scene of the conflagration in a few minutes after the alarm was given. They worked hard and eff fectualiy til the fire was under con trol. They were fortunate in getting plenty of water, which enabled them to save aAother house just east. also belonging to Snaya
 The furniture and goods were hur- riediy carried ou, as far as 1t was pos siele and the greater part was saved There was considerable of merchan- disc ruined, consisting of four and dry goods. The damage was suffered from water.
 No one could learn how the fire started In speaking of the misfor- tune Mike Shaya stated yesterday: If the Spaniards who occupied the house which took fire had given in the alarm could have gotten the fire out at once and saved the greater part of the damage. They were afraid to let it be known that the fire was burning lest they would be arrest ed. They wouldn't say a word, and when tried to ascertain the cause of the fire they were all as ignorant upon the question as possible. Il was never So mad in my life. and thought of working them over.

 From the best information obtaina- ble and from what has been noted by those passing on previous occasions. the occupants of the house which caught fire were enjoying nocturnal 1 festivities and were kneeling if not l sleeping at the throne of Bacchus, and | their eyesight was not as brilliant as | an Arizona day in summer.

COUNCIL AND MARSHAL AGREE

At a special meeting of the city council last night the friction that has existed between Marshal James East and members of the council was straigntened out and Marshal East is back on duty. A resolution was passed that no officers would be hir- ed on the city force without the rec ommendation of the city marshal, but which should have the endorsement of the council as provided for in an ordinance. This is the policy fol lowed in other Arizona cities, the mar shals recommendations being pre- sented to council for the members to ratify.
 With the trouble straghtened out n this manner Marshal East withdrew his resignation and will return to duty this morning. There was no friction in the meeting, the action of the members having previously been agreed upon.-Douglas Dspatch.
