! that the states CT Missouri, Nebraska,

New York be included in any tour
that may be decided on.
The request Of the candidate to be
assigned speaking dates is regarded
as showing his fixed determination to
be personally in the fight wherever it
may be the thickest, and also his de-
termination that no doubt shall exist
as TO his attitude.
| Il can't conceive or anything more
depressing than to be denied partici-
patton in an active campaign, or to be
kept quietly in one place. depending
wholly upon necessarily fragmentary
reports as to what is going on and
as to what conditions are"
This was the recent summing up by
Judge Taft Of his personal feelings in
the situation.
The Taft party left here at 10
O'Clock this morning on Commodore

day Mr.. Vorys was very enthusiastic
over the occasion.
we selected Youngstown especially
for the opening of the campaign" he
said because it is a great Industrial
center. The idea has been promul-
gated that union labor is against the
republican ticket and we wanted to
show the falsity of those statements.
More than $1,000 mechanics were in
line in the Youngstown parade to
reply to the charges. being more than
three-fourths of all the mechanics in

CHAIRMAN HITCHCOCK
ARRIVED IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Sept. Chairman
Frank II. Hitchcock of the republican
national committee, arrived in New
York yesterday and will remain at the
eastern headquarters until after the
election in Maine on September IA.
The arrangement made with Mr.. Taft
at the conference to Middle Bass Isl
and yesterday, under which the re-
publican candidate for president will
begin a speechmaking trip about Oc-
tober /, seemed to please Mr.. Hitch
cock. He thought that most of Mr..
Taft's speeches would be made in the
middle west, although some time might
be devoted to New York and other
eastern states. The West Virginia
case, which has been heard by a sub
committee of the national committee,
will be presented to Mr.. Hitchcock

TO PROTECT TRAVELLERS AGAINST
TUBERCULOSIS NEW RULE
is ADOPTED.

TO protect travellers against the
dangers Of tuberculosis through con
tagicn, the Lehigh Valley railroad has
issued an order forbidding consump-
TIVE passengers to ride upon its lines
unless they shall be provided with
their own individual drinking glasses
and also sputum cups.
While the company, in it's order to
conductors and trainmen, recognized
the need of tact in the enforcement of
the measure it was directed that de
cided action shculd be taken when
there is no question that the passenger
is affected with consumption"
This is the first time that a rail
road corporation has taken an active
part in the fight upon tuberculosis, and
theAattitude OF the Lehigh Valley com
pa Tains of which are occupied by
nj }onsumptive sufferers on their
va White Haven and ether sani-
tar rs, was prompted by the Penn
syly ia Society for the Prevention of
Tub eulosis.
HH hest for action to protect the
traf Hing public was made of every

G ~ y by the society, through a spe-
cs e tmmittee.

Fer calling attention to the objec-

torffing upon car floors and drinking
from the glass under the water cooler,
the order issued by superintendent c.
W Kineny proceeded:
ITO afford protection to our patrons
and to the travelling public, it will be
necessary for you TO see that in cases
where the condition of the patients is
known or apparent they must not be
permitted to board our trains, unless
they have the proper utensils-sputum
cups and private drinking cups.
In addition, in the case CT very i'll
patients, they must be accompanied by
suitable help to take care Of them
while travelling. An effort also should
be made, whenever possible to do so,
both for the comfort of the patients
and the other passengers. to place
cnsumptives in portion of the car
where they will be as nearly alone
and undisturbed as the conditions will
permit"
Discussing the order, Dr. Joseph
Walsh said:
THE action of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad company can be regarded

ATTRACTS MUCH INTEREST.
Leading Engineering Papers Com
ment on Consrete Plinu,

ment on Consrete PiInq.
Though not one Brunswickian in a
hundred bears the fact in mind, this
city is known among the engineers of
the world as having the first concrete
pile piers ever bnilt in America. The
work of the Fore River Shipbuilding,
Company, who Lad the contract for the
south cad terminals of the A., b. & A..
has not only been exploited in the en-
gineering journals, but scores of en-
gineers have made visits to this city
to gather data and to inspect the new
work which has worked such a revo
luton in the way Of pier building in
waters where the torredo abounds.
Berkeley, Cal, is another point just
now in the public eye so far as engi-
neers are concerned. A municipal
dock, 2,2O0 feet in length or three
times as long as the longest A., B. &c
A. pier will be built this fall CoAS
crete piles will be u9ed, but the work
will cost only $4,000, as the wooden
forms for the pilings will be driven
into the soft mud and the piling made
! in the form where it will stand perma.
nently. The wood form will be left
and by the time that the torredos have
eaten their way through the concrete
| will be like stone.
So far es is known among engineers
Brunswick has the only piers made by
using concrete pilings, made in shore
and drive in to place the same as are
wooden pilings.
