Tuberculosis

Louisville, KY. Aug. 22-Liability
for the contracting of case of tu-
berculosis is charged in $4,000
damage suit filed here today by Rich
ard Devine against the operator of q
rug factory. So far as the local
courts are concerned, this is nov

fendant's business it collected old car
pets and worked them into rugs and
that in this process no antiseptic
treatment was given the carpets for
the purpose of destroying disease
germs contained in them. 1t is aver
red that the plaintiff can never re-
cover his health.
The plaintiff In his petition further
AYERS that he took employment with
the defendant company on November
8, 1906, at the age of twenty, and prior
to that time he had never had any
suspicion of the tuberculosis tains
about him. He says that he did not
know that the carpets contained any
germs or that 1t was unsafe or dan
gerous to his health to work with
them.

STORY UNTRUE
Oklahoma National Banks Not Chang.
ing to State,

Washington, Aug. 22.-T. p. Kane,
deputy comptroller of the currency,
stated today that the published state
ment that large number of national
banks in Oklahoma had notified the
comptroller of the currency Of their
intention to surrender their national
charters and enter the state banking
system, because Of the opinion rem
dered by the attorney general that
they cannot lawfully avail them
selves of the state guaranty laws was
not in accord with the facts.
There are about 80 national banks
in the state of Oklahoma - said Mr.,
Kane, 4only fifty-seven Of which en-
tered into the Guaranty scheme. On
August 8 last, these fifty-seven banks
were notified that they must with
draw from the government. So far
replies have been received from
thirty-three' of them. Twenty-seven
have informed the comptroller that
they have notified the state banking
board of their desire to withdraw
from the guaranty agreement, and
seven have indicated their intention
to surrender their national charters
and re-organize as state banks, and
two only have thus far actually gone
Into voluntary liquidation for that
purpose.
Replies have been received from
1874 Of the 1853 banks that have not
entered into the agreement. A ma
5ority OF them state that they had no
intention of doing 80, as they were not
In sympathy with the movement. One
national bank chartered stated that
It's purpose in converting from state
bank to the national system was to
escape the requirements OF. the guer-
anty law"

SIX IND DICTED
Inquisition Prying Into Secrets Of the

Inquisition Prying Into Secrets Of the
Springfield Mob
Springfield, Ill, Aug. 22-Six more
alleged riot leaders have been caught
in the grand jury net here. The in
dictments against six persons, the
documents charging twenty separate
offences. All were predicated upon
the trouble at Loper's restaurant and
were identical with those charged
against Kate Howard in the indict-
ments returned yesterday. The jury
has so far confined its work to in
vestigating the riot at Loper's, ex-
cept in the case of Abraham Raymer
who was indicted for murder yester-
day in connection with the lynching
of William Donigan last Saturday.
I'VE have only made a fair start" said
Assistant States Attorney Winans last
night. with, the character OF the
evidence that is coming in and the
seeming determination of the grand
jury to rid the community of the law
less element, there is every chance
that half a hundred or more indict-
ments will be returned within the
next ten days"
The persons indicted today are:
Ernst Humphrey, huckster; Rudolph
Brodeheyer. mechanic; John Schienle
grocery clerk; 1Vm. Sutton, cabman:
Herbert Carey, blacksmith and one
other man whose. identity was kept
secret at the order of Judge Creightin
because he is understood to have fled
from Springfield. Humphrey, Brode-
meyer, ,Schienle and tile fugitive
were each indicted four times for ma
licious mischief and riot. Carey and
Sutton were made the subject OF two
indictments each, the same offenses
being charged. Judge Creighton fixed
Among the witnesses before the
jury today, was Harry Loper. He had
testified At the coroner's inquest yes
terday that he had little recollection
Of the identity of members of the mob
who destroyed his establishment but
it was said today that he made i'm
portant revelations to the grand jury.
1t was thought for time today that
the coroners jury which has been at
tempting to fix the responsibility for
the death Of Louis Johnson, who was
killed in the Loper riot, would find
its work in vain. Coroner Woodruff
discovered that no autopsy had been
made on the body and the cause was
conjectural, one version being that
Johnson fell into the basement and
broke his neck.
In order to clear this doubt the cor
oner and physician went to Mechan-
icsburg where the body had been bur-
led, exhumed the body and perform
ed an autopsy which showed that he
had been shot through the throat.

expected to outline the changes
which are considered necessary in
that connection. The department has
requested and is expecter not only to
supply written memoranda, but its
representatives will be called upon

relating to new classifications will
be made by treasury officers, and
every opportunity will be given them
to be heard on that subject.
The meeting of the subcommittee
will be the first for formal work by
either house of congress, looking to-
ward the long discussed revision of
tariff to which the sixty-first con-
gress has now been pledged.
