CAN SECURE IMMUNITY
FROM DREAD WHITE PLAGUE
Youna Colorado Physician Tells Ma
tlonaI tuberculosis Association
He Has Plan to Prevent
It's Spread

CHICAGO, June 6-Although the
scores of physicians who addressed the
American Medical association upon the
subject of tuberculosis during the last
week limited their predictions to the
checking of the white plague through
hygienic methods, the confident young
Enelishman. Gerald B. Webb, told the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis yesterday
that he hoped to establish metnod 1or
securing immunity from the disease.
DR.. Webb Is still a young man, ana
In his home in Colorado Springs, Wnere
he went because of his own dread OF
lung trouble, he intends to make MS
life work the solution of the tuperculo-
sis germ for the purpose OF experiment
ing along lines aiming toward the es-
tablishment of immunity.
His report to the association was
brief preliminary statement of his ex-
periments upon mice with the poison OF
malignant anthrax, a deadl-- disease
frequent among beasts and occasionally
found in man. He stated THAI while his
early efforts to prepare his dlminutive
subjects so that an additional amount
of the bacilli would not affect them mad
not been fruitful, more lately he had
succeeded In filing the mice with
enough of the germs so that they were
immune from attacks of the disease.
When he has completed his work IN
this line, he said, he intends TO turn his
undivided attention to experiments
with tuberculosis cultures injected into
guinea pigs.

SPURNS OFFERS OF RICH;
OPERATES FOR CHARITY
Famous Surgeon Causes Two Poor
Little Children to Hear Who
Had Been Deaf from
5abyhood

CHICAGO, June 6.-Spurning the gold
of milllonaires, DR.. Albert Jansen of
Berlin. one of the greatest eye and ear
pure mercy and without price yester-
tenements, the skill of the famous sur
women of Chicago in vain have begged
and pleaded with offers of fortunes and
which at last was given for nothing,
resulted in two cures.
The children. who had been deaf, were
made to hear.
DIR. Jansen came across the sea to
attend the resent sessions of the Ameri-
can Medical association. The children
upon whom DR.. Jansen operated and to
whom he restored their hearing, are
Willie Simpson, aged 8 years, and
Marion Stuhler, aged 3 years. These
operations were performed at st. Luke s
hospital in the presence of twenty five
Chicago physicians and surgeons
The two children had been deaf from
babyhood. Assesses had formed In
their ears and destroyed their hearing.
Marion Stuhler was entirely deaf.
Willie Simpson could distinguish very
loud noise, like the crash of a bass
drum, if 1t occurred close to his ear.
1t was impossible for the fathers and
mothers of these children of poverty
to gain an audience with the world
famed Berlin surgeon. But they wrote
him two pathetic letters, in which they
told him of the great affliction that had
befallen their little ones and begged
him to cure them.

BUTTE, Mont, June 6.-The rail-
road situation in Montana is much i'm
proved today and the rain has stopped.
The Northern Pacific is sending trains
east from Butte tonight. although the
line east Of Bozeman was again tied
up today by another washout
Farmers in the Gallatin valley es-
innate that about two-thirds of their
crops will be destroyed.
Superintendent Goodall of the North
ern Pacific says he has no idea as to
when the line will be open. Big gangs
of men are at work, but the task is
a tremendous one.
Conditions are better on the eastern
than on the western end. The track,
it is feared, has been washed out for
miles through He'll Gate canyon.
No. with four coaches is held here
until the tracks are cleared. Wolf
creek on the Great Northern is re-
ported under water; at Craig people
are using boats in the streets and have
been driven out of all one story houses.
The tracks are also under water,
and when telephone communication
stated it was believed the track would
soon go. Two culverts went out near
Silver, between Helena and Great
Falls, but a number of Northern Pa
cific westbound trains were on the
other side before the break came.
These are now at Great Falls. A small
dam up Lump gulch went out and the
flood which poured into the Big Prick
ly Pear covered the East Helena smelt-
ers to depth of three feet. Manager
Smith said 1t will be two weeks before
the company is again operating
A dam at Stanchfield lake went out
at o'clock this morning and flooded
scores of farms in the valley.
South Of Silver Bow the tracks of
the Oregon Short Line are in good
condition and the Northern Pacific to-
night will probably dispatch its trains
to the coast over that line, transferring
to the tracks of the Oregon Navigation
company at Pocatello. EaStbound
Northern Pacific trains are expected
to come from Spokane by the same
route.
The Great Northern system today is
in practically a complete state of de-
moralization-so bad that not even the
transfer of passengers is being at
tempted. In addition to it's tracks
being inundated in the Prickly Pear
canyon and washouts and covered with
landslides between Butte and Helena,
the wires of the company are prostrat-
ed between here and Helena and to
northern points,
The Butte, Anaconda & Pacific rail-
road is out of business until Monday
at least, and until that line is repaired
the mines of the Red Metals. North
Butte ana Amalgamated companies
will have to remain shut down.
The Butte reduction works and the
Clark mines resumed work today
Electric cars have resumed and the
city is again being lighted. Wire
service out of the city is gradually
being restored, though 1t is still in a
sorry plight
Three lives are reported lost In the
valley below Helena. but definite in
formation on the subject is hard to
nhtafn

PITTSBURG, June GA tragical
sequel to a number of wild western
holdups and robberies in this vicinity
occurred about 10 o'clock this morning

officers was started Immediately for
the scene. Upon their arrival 1t Is ex-
pected a desperate battle will be

plicated in the bold holdup and rob-
berry of the Monongahela Consolidated
Coal and Coke company's general store
last Thursday. The robbery was COM
mitted by two men on horseback and
who, after robbing the store, on horse
back galloped through the town, fir
ing revolvers right and left. 1t is in
timated that the men are connected
with holdup on the Pittsburg street
railway at Boston several weeks ago,
when two masked men at the points
of revolvers robbed eleven passengers
and the crew and eScaned.
The men were traced to Patterson s
house by Englart. Patterson was ar
