TIED UP TUBE SERVICE.
Explosion at London Causes Incon
venience to Yerkes' Patrons.

LONDON. October 3.-The explosion this
afternoon of the turbine engines Of the
electric generating station at Chelsea
completely tied up the entire transit serv-
ice in the Yerkes tube. Many trains were
brought to stands.ill in the tunnel, and
the passengers had to be conducted to the
nearest stations by porters carrying lam
terms. No one was injured.
The fact that Saturday is a half holt
day added to the crowds in the tubes.
The railroad officials had much difficulty
in clearing the trains and the stations of
the terrified passengers. Everything was
plunged into darkness. A number of
women. thoroughly frightened. refused to
move from the trains. The crowds at
the station, trying to grope their way out,
came In contact with the mobs that were
struggling TO reach the platforms and
scenes of great confusion en~ued. Extra
details Of policemen had to be called In
TO handle the people, but finally every
thing was cleared up and not a single
accident has been reported. The traffic
was resumed this evening

BENEFITS TO WASHINGTON.
Educational Value Of Congress
Pointed Out by Mr.. Mcfarland.


Commissioner Mcfarland. who has
closely followed the proceedings of the
tuberculosis congress and who addressed
the members on the opening day and
yesterday, said:
THE congress seems to have been
great success from the point OF view OF
It's own members, who are best qualified
to Judge. Certainly no more distin-
guished gathering of its kind has been
held in Washington, and its delibera-
lions ought to be Of great value as means
of education. It Is gratifying to know
that the government and citizens OF the
District have already the beginnings at
least Of the institutions and methods
recommended In the resolutions of the
congress for the warfare with tubercu-
losis, including our new municipal tuber-
culosis hospital which has been 50 much
admired by the visitors"
DR.. William Tindall. secretary OF the
board Of Commissioners. said: The
members Of the congress have seen one
another and have Witnessed our city at
it's best. While the practice of the heal
ing profession Is a long way from being
an exact science. 1t Is keeping pace with
sanitary engineering In the abatement of
conditions which foster disease. and in
abetting those conditions which tend to
it's restriction or elimination. 1t Is to
the latter spirit that any success result
ing from the congress has been and Will
be due The difference of opinion mani
tested In some respects should operate
as a caution against too enthusiastic in
alleged principles have been more fully

will. in the opinion OF many delegates
expressed last night be toward the es-
tablishment of better hospitals, better
sanatoria, more day camps, broader cam
paigns of popular education and the train
ing of more nurses.
two other European countries sent over
to this congress men who had perfected
ideas and theories in the meteorological
and pathological phases of tuberculosis.
no one of them, it was agreed, put forth
anything of very great Importance, COM
pared to the strength of the movement
along better health lines. Although
Detre and Won Pirquet stepped into the
limelight for two days with better and
perhaps surer method OF diagnosing cases
of consumption and other forms of tu-
berculosis than has been known before,
the practical and businass-like American
physicians and health officers showed ex-
actly how they proposed to make all dag
noses for tuberculosis of little value, be-
cause they had in their hands the sinews
of war against the disease. which. the
delegates believe. will some day make
consumption merely memory.
Marvellous Work in America.
Physicians who do not care to be quoted
state that the work in American cities
as shown by the congress Is little short
of marvellous and pu. the European
theories of incubation and immunization
in the shade. The fact that DR.. Koch
rose in full session and stated that New
York's fight against tuberculosis was an
example that every nation of the world
might follow is considered by the dele
gates 10 he sufficient hint to look to
America for the best in the campaign Of
good health. Even the English delegates
state that they cannot bring about the
legislation to prevent consumption that
many American states have.
Rather than let the matter rest where
it is now and be content with the laurels
gained during the past week America.
through the delegates from every state
in the Union, will from today put into
effect the determination already expressed
TO maze every city and village so safe
from the disease that 1t will be an I'M
known quantity in economic and social
problems. The resolutions passed yester-
day We're practically all to that effect.
Barring the reference TO the refusal to
accept DR.. koch's theory the resolutions
were each one based upon the papers and
speeches of American delegates in regard
to better municipal control or better state
control of the disease.

Laszlo Detre. the Hungarian specialist,
who achieved triumph by the successful
demonstration Of his theory Of diagnosis
by incubation, has won the heart and
hand of a talented Washington girl. and
when he returns to his home in Buda-

with him as his bride.
Announcement Of the approaching we'd
ding was made last night at the home Of
Mrs Bertha Coblenzen. 1923 Vermont ave-
nue. northwest. Her daughter. Miss Lii
liam Coblenzen, one of the best known
members Of the capitals younger musical
set. figures as the second of the princi-
pals in the romance. The exact date for
the ceremony has not been chosen, but 1t
will be before October 90 the day set for
DIR. Detre's departure from this country.
Miss Coblenzen, who Is violinist of
rare ability. as we'll az a singer. went
abroad a year ago to study music under
the Hungarian masters. Aside from the
practice Of his profession as specialist
in tuberculosis. DIR. Detre also Is a musi-
clan. He met Miss Coblenzen In Buda-

story which there had it's beginning will

IS NOT TRYING TO DICTATE

Samuel Gompers president OF the Amer

ment last night in which William II.
Taft. republican candidate for the presi-
dency, is bitterly arraigned because of
the latter's charge in a speech at Denver
last night that the labor leader was "ly-
ing to his followers"
1T is quite evident that Candidate Taft
Is losing his temper, as we'll as his man.
ners and his dignity asserts MIR. Com
pers. He cannot meet the truth and the
justice of labor's contention as regards his
in1unctions, his party's refusal in Con-
gress to accord the relief from discrim-
mating decisions against the workers in
the injunction abuse and from the Sher-
man antitrust law. under which the vol
untary organizations Of the working peo-
pie are now held as trusts. I assert he
cannot meet these issues and he there
fore undertakes to resort to the well
known policy Of the pettifogger who has
bad caSe-that Is by abusing the other
side.
Blows Really Aimed at Labor.
The working people of the country
know that Mr.. Tafts 'ridicule and rasp-
ing sarcasm are not aimed at me, but
at them, for there is not one thought 1
have expressed or one step which l have
taken but what had their initiative in
the rank and file Of Americas toiling

But Mr.. Taft. departing from his
lighter vein Of attack. accuses me Of
lying. In what have 1 lied in regard to
any matter, at least, in regard to Judge
Taft? Those who know me will attest my
dependability and ny veracity. Judge
Taft Is the first respectable man to ques-
ton either"
In language quite as vigorous and posi-
tive as that used by Mr.. Taft. the labor
leader reiterates much which he has
platform about the failure Of the Chi
cago convention to grant the demand Of
labor and also the attitude Of the republi-
can ma tority in Congress- coward the labor
element.
I'm 90 stating have I been lying or
have told the TRUTH" inquiries Mr.. Com
pers.
Not Assuming to Dictate.
did not Candidate Taft read or did not
some one tell him that neither my col
leagues nor myself have either by word
or action assumed that we had the right
or the power to deliver the laber vote to
any candidate?
Does he not know that upon every oc-
casion in this campaign that l have en-
phatically declared thaO I did not pre-
sumo either to dictate to or deliver the
vote of any citizen Of the entire country.
and, having known this fact. is 1t fair
for Mr. Taft to declare and reiterate SO
palpable an 'untruth?
