a large number of phi ysicians. The re-
suit of their visit has been their start
ing an anti-tuberculosis movement in
their home towns and counties.
Florida will probably be the next
state to be visited by the exhibit. A
number of southern cities have in
vited the exhibit to visit them. Jack
sonville Fla, is especially anxious,
the women's clubs of that city having
concentrated their efforts toward bring
ing the exhibit there. Several tele-
grams have been exchanged between
Director Routzahn and 1t is very prob
able that the exhibit will open there in
a week or two. The Jacksonville peo-

DR.. b. l.. Wyman is chairman of the
medical society committee which has
been in charge of the exhibit and this
committee will get together Immediate
ly for the purpose of planning a con-
tinuance of the campaign.
The feature of the exhibit was the
discussions by local physicians, nearly
100 of them participating in this par
ticular part of the programme. The
interest of the physicians in the ex-
hibit was such to inspire the gem
eral public with belief in the good to
be derived from the exhibit and they
proceeded to get all the good they
could out of it. 1t is doubtful If any
exhibit was ever held in Birmingham
which received closer inspection from
many persons as did this tubercu-

will endeavor to have the exhibit return

is considering having the exhibit visit all

What Shall We Do for Greater Bir-

session. which resulted in some splendid
talks by James Weatherly as chairman,
and Frank S. White. Sr., and f. NJ. Jack
son. At the A o. clock session the women
were very much in evidence, the subject
being, Field for Women in the Ant-Tu-
berculosis Crusade" Miss Willie Allen
presided at this session, while the speak
ers were Mrs. W. S. Lowell, Mrs. e. IL.
Cabaniss, and Mrs. j. A. Rountree.
This discussion by the women was only
the beginning of what it is believed will
ultimately result in very strenuous cam
paign against tuberculosis in Birmingham
on the part of the Birmingham women's
clubs. They were instrumental in having
the exhibit brought here and have taken
an active interest in 1t during its stay.
A platform conference was held at

Crusade Against tuberculosis, being led
by Director Routzahn. At this session
and at a conference after the finish of the
address last night. the main workers in
the movement were present and a final
discussion made as to the carrying on of
the campaign.

Russia suppression
Steps Taken

st, Petersburg, July e.-The gov
ernment is preparing for an outbreak
Of Asiatic cholera all along the river
from Mimi Novgorod to it's mouth,
and at Caspian ports. The entire
Volga region and both coasts Of the
Caspian, together with the territory
of Don Cossacks, already have been
officia1ly declared In the cholera zone
and sanitary authorities hope to con-
fine the disease within these limits
and prevent it from reaching Mos
SOW and st. Petersburg this year.
Considerable outbreaks Of chol-
era are reported from Astrakhan,
Tsaritzen and Kamyshin, and isolat-
ed cases have occurred at villages
some distance from the river, which
;convinces experts that the outbreak
is not due to direct infection, but
from contamination of water, cholera
baccilli having been found in many
tributaries by which it spread last
autumn.

y Paris. July 29.-In one Of the most
terrible auto accidents in many years
In France, G. Winship Sands, step
son of W. K. Vanderbilt. was killed
this morning just outside of Mr.. Van

Louis de Poissey, twenty miles from
Paris. 81
Mr.. Sands was driving his fifty
horse power car along at a terrific
clip in desire to reach the chateau,
where Mrs. Sands and her infant
daughter were staying. He had al
ways been known as reckless driv-
er, and as he had been delayed at
railroad crossings he opened the
throttle wide as he approached the
chateau. Almost Immediately a tire
burst and the machine crashed into
a tree, turning turtle and burying
Mr.. Sands under the forward part of
the car and pinning the chauffeur,
Pickins, an expert, forward and In a
moment the car was in flames.
Peasants working in adjoining
fields were the only witnesses to the
accident. They rushed to the rescue
but fearing the explosion Of the gas
oline tank and deferred by the sweep
OF flames, they stood idly by, not
knowing how to give assistance to
the injured men. Finally they man
aged to raise the rear of the car and
release the chauffeur, both Of whose
feet had been held tight, and lit
tie later, after beating down the
fire, they dragged out the torn,
bleeding and burned body of Sands
# Help soon arrived from the cha
teau, which is in the center Of Mr.
Vanderbilt's great breeding farm
The injured men were carried to the
house where it was feared that Mr.
Sands was beyond hope of recovery
but that the chauffeur was not bad

attempt tonight by mob to storm
the county jail an take out the me-

saulted Mrs. Lillian Davis near

The mob numbered nearly thous-
and persons and gathered early but
there was no apparent indication
that the crowd, which completely
surrounded the jail, contemplated a
rush until nearly. two hours later.
The first indication was when a
railroad iron was brought into play
by about dozen men upon the iron
gate of the Jail. At the same mo-
ment the entire mob seemed to catch
the spirit and with yells and curses
dashed for the jail entrance. Some
climbed over the tall iron fence,
while others hammered upon the
gate. y. Sz @5
The sheriff, with a half dozen
deputies, stood in the windows up
stairs with drawn revolvers and riot
rifles. A. volley Of shots flashed
from the upper windows of the jail
This was answered by the crowd
which poured volley after volley into
the jail windows wounding two dep.
uties. The mob was momentarily
driven back with many wounded and
one dead, as a result of the deadly
aim of the deputies.
At midnight the mob made another
attack. The sheriff and officers were

Attempt to File Demo-

Hasn't Time ~

Omaha, Neb., July 29.--Victor Rose
water, Republican national commit
tee for Nebraska, today published an
open letter to William ]. Bryan, ask
ing him to disapprove of the attempt
that was recently made to file the
names Of the Democratic presidential
electors from this state under the
head of 'Peoples-Independe Mr..
Rosewater recently filed protest in
the case with the secretary of state.
The matter is an outcome of the
bolt of the Nebraska delegation head.
ed by Thomas H. Tibbles from the St.
Louis convention Of the Peoples
party, which nominated Thomas Wat
son president.
Mr.. Rosewater first refers to Mr..
Bryan's speech last February before
the Civic Forum in New York, whose
subject was 'Thou Shalt Not Steal,''
in which Mr.. Bryan divided theft into
larceny in violation of law" and
larceny through operation of law"
Says he: II ask you, Mr.. Bryan, if
larceny of something more priceless
than property, the unpurchasable
votes of the people is not equally rep
rehensible, whether the theft is COM
mit$ed in violation of law or under
cover of legal technicalities?
Let me call your attention to the
fact, If you are not already aware of
it, that conspiracy is now on foot
in this, your own state of Nebraska,
engineered by your own brother-in-
law as chairman of your Democratic
state committee, for the purpose of
purloining votes not intended ITO be
cast for you, and to count them for
your candidacy. In the interest of
square dealing, have filed protests
with the secretary of state against
the misbranding of the Democratic
presidential electors. The filing of the
names of the Democratic electors as
Peoples -Independence is a palpable
attempt to secure votes for you by
false pretenses. If this plot succeeds
you will have the benefit of votes in
tended to be cast for Thomas E. Wat
son as well as votes intended to be
cast for you If this would not be a
larceny of these votes through opera
tion of law would like to know what
you would call it?
Discussing objections to instruct
ing convention delegates, you said in
your Commoner last January that
dishonesty is no better in politics
than It is in business, and you riddled
the objections raised to instructions
by merely stating them One of these.
objections to instructions, you said,
