ORGANIZE TO

NATIONAL BUREAU OF HEALTH
PLANNED TO REGULATE PHYS
ICAL WELFARE OF THE PEG
PIE MAY BE REORGANIzED

CHICAGO, Jan. "A national
bureau Of health for the regulation
of peoples physical welfare, planned
by the leading specialists of the
United States and Endorsed by Pres
ident Roosevelt. may take its place
in the federal departments OF the
government within the year,
through the efforts of the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science.
The ultimate reduction of the
death rate in America by one-half
| is to be the aim of the new govern
mental board. and it is deemed a
promise not impossible of fulfill
ment
Plans for the bureau were an
nounced yesterday at the University
of Chicago by Professor Irving Fish
er, the Yale University economist,
and chairman of the 100 d'stin-
guished scientists who have had
| charge of the undertaking. The
membership of the committee in
cludes leaders in various branches
of the medical and social sciences
from the important universities and
other centers of the country.
The educators have been assured
that the first steps in the organiza-
tion of the health bureau will be
taken at the present session of con-
gress, and the president has sent his
! personal encouragement and In
dorsement to the committee.
According to Professor Fisher. 1t

WOULD SUPPRESS
HORSE RACING
GOVERNOR HUGHES IN FAVOR
OF PUTTING LID ON TIGHT IN
NEW YORK BUT MOVEMENT
WILL MEET OPPOSITION

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Men inter-
ested in racing in New York State
express considerable. surprise at the
stand taken by Gov. Hughes in his
message to the legislature on the
racing question. 1t is the general
opinion that the governor will be
unable to secure the passage of a
bill which will entirely wipe out
betting at race courses.
Many go so far as to blame the
agitation to the poolroom interests,
against whom the racing clubs have
waged bitter warfare and who are
now said to be anxious to get even
with the clubs who have broken up
the poolroom business by driving
out racing altogether.
1t is pointed out by the advocates
of racing that the agricultural as.
sociations Of the state will fight any
bill doing away with betting, as
they are the beneficiaries under the
per cent tax levied on the racing
clubs The revenues from this
source have increased enormously
in the last eight years, rising from
$4,000 in 1895 to $2O1,O in
1905. In eight years the eleven
racing associations in the state have
paid in this tax $1,494,263.

War BALLOON
SURE TO COME
LIEUTENANT LAHM WHO HAS
STUDIED CONDITIONS IN EU-
ROPE SAYS UNITED STATES
MUST EQUIP DIRIGIBLE BAL
LOOMS

WASHINGTON, Jan. Aleu-
tenant e. p. Lahm, U. 8. A., who
in September 1906 won for the
United States the international der
igible balloon contest in France, and
who has returned to this country
after four years spent in Europe,
said today that the dirigibie balloon
as an instrument of war Is destined
to play an important part in future
operations on land and sea-.
"The chief war advantage Of the
dirigible or wind-opposing balloon
over the old spherical, or wind-driv-
en- balloon" he said, sis fNat the
former, after spying an enemy's de-
lenses and movements, can put
about and return to its own lines
with the information gained. The
old style vehicle of the air had to
depend upon carrier pigeons or
make more or less perilous and
uncertain descent and resort to or
binary means to send back reports.
France, Germany and Great
Britain are now equipped with diri-
gible VS." balloons and are constant
ly experimenting and building new
ones. Italy has set her face to the
task
Other European governments
have held back perhaps because of
the great cost involved. The build
ing of dirigible balloons of the gov
eminent type means an outlay OF
from 100000 to 100000 each.
AS yet the United States has
made no move, so far as the public
has been informed toward the con-
struction of dirigible war balloon,
but this government is deeply inter-
ested in the subject and may.
think, be expected to do something
in that line"

STRANGER FLEEcEs 4 farmer
A Man En- Route from Alabama to
Waxahachie Robbed Of 500.

| The old check game was worked
successfully on southbound Katy
passenger train in the city OF Dallas
late Friday evening and as result
a farmer who was on his way from
| Alabama to Waxahnchie was separ-
ated from 500. OF hard earned
! money. The victim OF the robbery
was in the city Saturday morning
but his name was not ascertained,
Soon after leaving Dallas Friday
night he became little bit suspi-
cious that he had been robbed and
these suspicious were confirmed
when he presented the check to a
local bank Saturday morning and
was told that 1t was worthless
piece OF paper.
Accompanied by his wife and sew
eral children the farmer reached
Dallas late Friday afternoon over the
Santa Fe. The transfer to the Katy
depot was made and when the south
bound train arrived 1t was boarded
by the Alabamian and his family.
The train made stop of twenty
minutes in Dallas. A few moments
after the Alabama farmer found
Eaeats he wassapprOached by stranger
who engaged him In conversation.
The stranger talked fluently. He
represented himself as a Waxaha-
chic business man and said he knew
the farmers son-in-law who lived
near town. He had been to Dallas
that day to buy bill OF hardware
and wanted to have it sent down to
Waxahachie by express that night.
He had run short OF cash but had
check for $4,000 which he would
give as security for 800, the
charges on his hardware. He told
for him to present the check at
Waxahachie bank and secure his
money. The farmer figured that he
could lose nothing by loaning the
stranger 500 and accepting the note
as collateral. He counted out ten $40
bills and passed them over to the
stranger, receiving in return the
$4,000 check. The stranger was pro-
fuse In his thanks and promised to
see his new found friend on the
train. That was the last seen of him
by the farmer. After reaching Wax
ahachie he went with his family to
the home of his son-in-law near
town. Saturday morning he return
ed to the city and presented the
check at local bank and when told
that the paper was worthless he
could hardly believe his ears. The
check was drawn on the CITY Bank
of New York and was dated in
Sedalia, Mo-. November, %. 1908.
The matter has been reported to
the officers for investigation

TABOO HIAWATHA.
County Attorney Proposes to Put
Banshee on Soft (?) Drinks.


Hillsboro, Texas, Dec. 5.-Hon. A.
M. Frazier, newly installed county
attorney of this county, has institut-
ed proceedings in the district court
that will likely develop very inter
esting case. The nature of the pro-
ceedings is to enjoin dealers from
continuing the business of selling
burgo, frosty, Hiawatha and other
drinks similar to these. The county
attorneys force spent some time in
preparing the petition to District
Judge Wear.
In each case the petition alleges
that the dealer engaged in this line
of business is selling drinks that are
intoxicating and the petition for an
Injunction restraining the parties en-
gagged from continuing the business.
and that all such places be ordered
closed. 1t is believed that the injunc-
ton will be granted and that the
places will be closed down until
trial can be had testing the matter.
