Chattanooga, Tenn, Daily News }
A representative Of the News has
just returned from very successful
visit to California.
Concerning the reports that the
long sought cure for Bright's Disease
has been discovered, he took special
pains to find out the truth OF the mat
tier, and came back fully convinced.
One lady, the wife OF San Fran
cisco editor, not only told OF her hus-
bands remarkable recovery after ply
sicians had given him up. but she
lreeled of as Of no moment, the names
of several they told of II who had re-
covered. One case was particularly
interesting. II was a case OF Bright's
Disease In which the young man was
so impressed that nothing could be
done that he had to be tricked into
taking the new specific. Each time
a dose was administered q tablespoon.
ful OF his old medicine was secretly
disposed Of thus allaying suspicious.
To complicate matters as the young
man recovered, the physician became
elated, thinking he had discovered a
cure for Bright's disease. II was not
until the patient was so well along
toward recovery that there was no un'
certainty about II that the whole plot
was disclosed. One Of San Francis
cos pioneer druggists also confirm

Cannon Differed Widely,
But Was Given Ovation
At Brilliant Banquet

American merchant marine. foreign
and interstate commerce. and various
other hobbies over which the National
Board Of Trade IS wOnt1 10 onthuse,
yielded last night to enthusiasm for one
man-Speaker Cannon of the House
Of Representatives. This enthusiasm,
strangely enough, was manifested be-
fore as we'll as after a speech in which
Mr.. Cannon, blunt in the way that is
peculiarly his own. made assault after
assault on some of the pet projects of
his audience
The banquet was a brilliant affair and
the speeches which were delivered were
confined almost entirely to topics of in
terest to the mercantile world. Ambas-
sadOr des Planches spoke on the trade
relations between italy and the United
States. Vice President Fairbanks praised
the nature of the work performed by
the National Board OF Trade; Secretary
Straus told of the cooperation between
his department and the business men.
and Senator Newlands discussed the
need Of vast improvements in the riV-
erS and narbOrs All of these speakers
dealt out compliments with a free hand
and painted glowing word-pictures to
illustrate that the Board Of Trade is a
power in the land, second not even TO
Congress itself
At the moment when the DELEGATES
relieved that an appropriation of $500
10000 from Congress would be had for
the asking, Speaker Cannon took the
floor and Just talked racts," as he
said. Every speech made during the
evening was dissected by him. He
praised the good in It, and frankly
and .fOrcibly criticised IL when he diff
fered. In short. he summarized his at
titude when he told the delegates that
e3,o0,O00 Of people had an individual
peep-hole looking into Congress and he
reckoned that the majority of that
SO 600, 900 would decide what would and
what would not be done

marks he was given three cheers that
were long and loud, and ne was 1am- /

Recommendations of Miller
May Not Be Sanctioned
BY Board of Works.
TO ACT SOON, HOWEVER.
PRESIDENT STAUBACH SAYS
THAT VARIOUS IMPROVEMENT
WILL BE UssED-COMME
CIAL CLUB MAY ACT.

President George Slaubach of the
board OF public works stated today that
in the near future the board will take
action on the recommendation of Fire
Chief Miller, for an increase in the eff
fectiveness of the fire department and
for the establishment of an. additional
water main from the water works
pumping station into the city.
Whether the city could compel the
water works company to establish an
additional main is a question. It is the
general opinion that unless the water
works company desires to make this
Improvement. the city will be com
PEELED to build the main at its own eX-
pense, This Improvement will cost
several thousands of dollars but the
business men of the city feel that it
will be money well spent.
Because of the economy the city adj
ministratiOn has been practicing for
the past two years, there is some doubt
works will take favorable action on the
recommendation of Chief Miller.
1t is known that Chief Miller is of
the opinion that an additional hose
company should be added to the de
partment. but that he did not ask for
this addition because he knew the
board would fr0Wn upon the sugges-
tiOn. The addition of a modern fire
engine and an aerial truck and the
placing of GlaZzer nozzleS on all hose.
which Improvements Chief Miller asks
for. are the ones which he believes
there is an imperative demand for.
Today Richmond has one of the
smallest fire department of any city
its size in the country. at the same
time what department the city does
boast of is an excellent one in every re-
spect. 1t is probable that at the next
meeting of the Richmond Commercial
club, action will be taken toward rec
ommending better fire protection for
the city.

Washington. April 22.-President
Roosevelt is renewing his fight for

that ever tackled d dignified and re-
