A signal victory was won by the
opponents of the theory advanced by
Or. Robert Koch, the eminent German
scientist, minimizing the danger Of
human infection from bovine tubercu
losis bacilli when the sixth triennial
Congress on Tuberculosis at Washing
ton, Just before the final adjournment
placed itself squarely on record in Op-
position to the views of the German
ssvant.
The controversy over this momen-
tous issue, which has been the sub
iect of much spirited debate during
the entire proceedings of the congress.
peached its climax when that body, by
unanimous vote, adopted a resolution
recognizing the possibility" of hu-
man infection from the bovine tubercu-
lous baciln. The text of the resolution.
which was one of a series Of official
declarations. is as follows:
Resolved, That the utmost efforts
should be continued in the struggle
against tuberculous to prevent the
conveyance from man to man of tuber
culosis infection, as the most import
ant sources of the disease.
"That preventive measures be con
tinued against bovine tuberculosis,
and that the possibility of the propaga-
ton of this to man be recognized
This oficial expression, which was
enc of the most important results OF
the sessions of the consrvsi. was
greeted with prolonged cheers.
An effort was made at a secret meat-
ing of notable American and foreign
scientists to induce DR.. Koch to recede
from his position, but he refused.
The meeting was very spirited. DR..
Abraham jacob, Of New York, de
elared at one point: THE lives Of
thousands of babies in the world are
Of far more Importance than the repu-
tation of one scientist"

DENVER, Nov. 1l.-With the repub-

cen senator's, and if Senator Bareia is
thrown out they will only have elected
two out of eighteen, their chances for
controlling the senate are very remote
for at least six years. The eighteen
elected hold four years. In order to
control in two years the republicans
would have to elect sixteen out of sew
enteen, something they cannot hope to
do. The party will not secure control
of the upper house for at least four
years, and more than likely for six
years.
