gar residence, one mile west of Fole-
do. was discovered ablaze, and there

TUBERCULOSIS CONTAGIOUS.
Physicians Should Make Detailed Re.
ports in Such Cases.

Hartford, Conn, April 1.-The COM
mittee on public health and safety will
probably report in favor of an amend
ment to the present law providing that
tuberculosis Is a contagious disease
and that physicians must make detail
ed reports in cases of tuberculosis as
they now are compelled in other con-
tagious diseases within a certain speci-
fed time. 1t Will probably ask a fur
ther amendment providing for the
proper furnigation of apartments where
there have been cases of tuberculesis
A number of speakers appeared be-
fore the committee on this matter at
the hearing this afternoon.
Another bill which had hearing be-
fore the committee provides that "the
state board Of health may revoke the
license of any physician upon proof
that such license or certificate Of reg
istration was procured by fraud, or
other sufficient cause"
After some discussion It was agreed
presented to the committee which
would provide for action in the matter
of a revocation by the courts instead
of by the state board OF health.
DR.. Townsend of the state board OF
health favored the bill, saying that
some measure was needed to protect
the profession against "quaCks." He
also asserted that there were a num-
ber Of persons practicing in the state
without qualifications, and that COM
plants against them had been re-
ceived

RIOT BETWEEN MINERS
AND DTPUTY CoNSTA5LES.
Trouble Caused by Attempt to Rescue
Arrested Miner from Officers.

Pittsburg, April lone man was
killed and another probably fatally in
jured late today in a riot between a
crowd OF miners formerly employed at
the Harwlck mines of the Allegheny
Coal company at Cheswlck, Pa. near
here. and two deputy constables at
that place.
The dead man is Mike Strenyard,
aged 20 years. Norwalk Bulterge, aged
"a years, has two bullets in his back,
and was removed to the Allegheny
hospital here. His recovery is said to
be doubtful. The trouble started when
the crowd Of miners attempted to res
cue comrade who had been arrested.
The coal company posted a notice
several days ago that a readjustment
of wages would go into effect today.
The miners refused to work under the
new scale, and 1t is said threats were
made against the company. One Of
the alleged strikers. Milo Zolovitch.
was arrested today by a constable. who
turned him over to Deputies Albert
Holland and L, c. Blair to have him
taken to the squire's office.
The deputies and their prisoner had
proceeded but short distance when
the miners, numbering more than 20.
attempted 70 take Zolovitch from the
officers. The crowd strged around the
two men and their prisoner. and It is
said that Strenyard drew a revolver
and began firing at the officers.
Holland then pulled his revolver and
returned the fire. Strenyard being al
most instantly killed. Blair also drew
a revolver and began firing. Bulterge
was hft twice. and when the foreigners
saw him fall they rapidly dispersed In
the melee Zolovitch escaped. Holland
was placed IN custody and held under
81 600 bail on a technical charge.

PROTECTION FOR CONNECTICUT
TOBACCO GROWERS.
Hearing Before Agriculture Committee
at Hartford.

Hartford, Conn, April THAT the
tobacco grower Of Connecticut needed
some protection against tobacco being
brought into this state from other
states and sold as Connecticut-gr grown
stock was one Of the arguments ad-
vanced at the hearing before the COM
mittee on agriculture at the capitol
this afternoon by those who favored
the bill which provides that the grow
er Of tobacco shall furnish certain la
bells to the packer indicating that the
tobacco is Connecticut grown and re-
Quiring the Connecticut packer to place
tags on all Connecticut tobacco SO fur
nished, and which further provides that
the secretary of state shall furnish
tags at request to town cleMxs. There
is q penalty for violation of the act
The bill, it was explained, has been
introduced at the request Of the Con-
/ ecticut Tobacco Growers ASSOCIATION
for the purpose of protecting them
against tobacco grown elsewhere and
brought into. this state and sold as
native product Reference was also
made to the proposed free tariff on
Philippine tobacco, one of the speak
ers, e. c. King, of East Hartford, say
ing that he understood that the Con-
necticut growers had been promised a
free market in the Philippines, and IL
this was so that was a weighty reascn
why tobacco grown here and shipped TO
those islands should be so tagged.
In opposition to the bill it was ar
gued that it would be easy for anyone
to get the tags and affiv them to to-
bacco grown elsewhere and that be-
cause tobacco labelled Connecticut
grown would bring a higher price Il
would place a premium on dishonesty.
1t was also protested that il would
work a hardship on all dealers.

out to be a general debate on the tariff

ings today on Senator Bacon's resolu-
ton for the consideration of the tariff
legislation by the full committee on

up is determined by the judge to
whom the petition is presented. In
the other case the trial must take
place il the suit is brought.
Amendments Proposed.
Mr.. Fox proposed an amendment
which would strike out the necessity
for delegates to conventions which on
ly elect delegates to other conventions
from signing sworn statement OF
their expenditures so that only dele
gates 70 conventions where a nomina-
tion is made would have to do so. He
also submitted a proposed amendment
setting a limit to the amount that the
candidate could spend and showed that
there are two ways Of making the pro-
posed limitation one by putting 1t at
percentage of the salary of the once
for which the man was a candidate,
allowing each man to spend s100, any
way. and up to ten per cent. Of the
salary. Another way would be by tix-
ing il according to the number of
voters in the territory through which
he is being voted upon.
Questions Answered.

committee whether he would favor ex-
empting those from swearing to state
ments who had spent nothing. The

would be against the best interests OF

thought that about so per cent. of the
sworn statements and possibly 75 per
cent. of them are true.
He said that he did not think that
the cost of running for the office OF
governor had tAen decreased under the
present law. Mr. Fox was also asked
if he did not think the present law had
made a number of members of the
Ananias club and he rejoined that if
it had it was balancing one evil against
two.
Mr.. Parker of Hartford appeared in
favor Of an amendment to the law and
Senator Brooks told of his experience
with the law which made him opposed
to IL. and told of a case where man
had been prosecuted for failure to file
a certificate with a town clerk even
though he had filed one in the Office of
the secretary Of state.

Bringing Proceedings.
Mr. Fox was heard again and stated
that the certificates were the best
means Of getting evidence and defend
ed his action in bringing proceedings
under the present law after the recent
election.

THE LA TOURAlNE CRIPPLED
BY Bursting of Main Steam Pipe
Wild Excitement at New York Pier
Distress Signals -Hoisted.

New York, April 1.-The French
Atlantic liner La Touraine was
crippled today by the bursting of the
main steampipe Of her port boiler and
was compelled to abandon her voyage
to Havre. Two Of her oilers were
frightfully scalded. but it was said to-
night that they would recover.
Vessel Had Just Left Pier.
The accident occurred Just as the
vessel had cast off from her pier and
was veering around in m4dstrea1n for
the run down the river to the open
sea. Friends of passengers who were
still waving farewell from the pier
head saw the ship suddenly enveloped
in steam from waterline to deck. There
was an explosion, but too faint to be
heard on shore. Those on board,
about the deck, and for a time the
widest excitement prevailed. both on
board the vessel and ashore. That
something serious had happened was
realized when the two black balls
which in sea parIance signify "Ship
not under control" were run up.
Unable to Continue Voyage.
The general agent of the line at
once put out in tug and upon reach
ing La Touraine found that the eX-
plosion had shattered the intake pipe
or a piston OF the port engine ana naa
so crippled the mechanism as to pre-
clude all possibility of the ship con-
tinuing on her way. The two men in
jured in the explosion were put on
board a tug. summoned by wireless
telegraph, and were taken to a hos
pital La Touraine then proceeded un-
der one engine to quarantine where
she anchored.
Passengers Transferred.
Her passengers will be transferred to
La Bretagne, which will set out for
Havre tomorrow. La Touraine will
follow on Saturday. proceeding under
one engine, and in all probability with
out passengers. The repairs to her
piping will be made In the yards of the
company at Havre.
