THE RAvAGES OF CONSUMPTION
New York Health Officer Sounds Note of Warning Regarding the
 Disease.

Detroit, June 25-"When one sev- ensh of the worlds deaths are caused by consumption it is time that we did some soaring of the people on the sub feet of tuberculosis" declared Dr. Hills Cole. of the New York state de. partment of health. in lecture be- fore the American Institute of Home. opathy. Some people, opposed to the anti-tuberculosis crusade. say that we are soaring the people into consump. ton. but say that 1t Is time we did some soaring"
 "No one knows unless he has been examined by a competent physician whether or not he throws out tuber cule bacilli every time he coughs. The household feather duster Is potent means of scattering consumption germs. It's manufacture should be prohibited by law.
 Consumption Is curable if taken in time and even In severe cases there Is possibility of recovery. Patent medicines advertised for the cure of consumption don't cure. Most of them are alcoholic drinks in disguise"

FROM NEW YORK TO
 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
Ford Car No. the First Of the haeers to Reach End of Long
 Journey.

Seattle, Wash, June 25.-Amid the cheers of 15,O0O people who blocked the streets around the main entrance to the Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposl- ton to such an extent that 1t was with difficulty that the racing automobile could force It's way through, Ford ear No. 2. driven by w. B. Scott, in the transcontinental automobile race, crossed the tape at 12:55:35 o'clock, winning the Guggenheim trophy cup and $2,O00 purse, The car had been out from New York 22 days and 50 minutes.
 The car was serioucly delayed dur ing the last 100 miles of the race by the deep snow in the Snoqualmie pass through the Cascade mountains. Driv- CT Scott said that in some places the drifts were five feet ueep and that the road through the pass was the worst encountered during the trip to the coast. because of a rumor that pro test would be filed against Ford car No. 2, because 1t was reported to have dropped a man and picked him up af terward, the award was not made.
 The Shawmut car was at that time 70 miles back and second in the race.

ARREST MINISTER
 ON ISLANDER CHARGE
Member of Sect Known as 'HOly Rollers" Resents Criticism by Rev. J. R. Barnett
 at Leslie.

Leslie, June 24. Rev. J. K. Barnett, pastor of the Baptist church here, was arrested ycster- day on complaint sworn out by Mrs. Baker, charging him with islander. The arrest was made by Constable Jack Leslie, and the minister was taken before Justice of the Peace Smith, who fixed the bail at S200. A large num- Der of business men immediately offered their names for the bond and the minister was held but a very few minutes.
 The arrest grew out of remarks made by Mir. Barnett in his ser mon last Sunday evening regard ing the doiugs and practices of tine sect of religionists calling themselves followers of the "Apostolic Faith" but often dubbed "The Holy Rollers. !" This sect has been holding night ly meetings here for several months, and the doings of its con. verts have been the source of much criticism among the towns people.
 While there has been much un. favorable comment upon the con- duct of the "Holy Rollers" in Leslie, Rev. Mir. Barnett is the first to publicly denounce them. At one time the town council SC. riously considered driving them out of town, but the mayor was advised that they could not be reached by the law, unless some one charged them with disturbing tho peace. This measure was about to be adopted, when they quit for time and the leaders sought new pastures, leaving the work to be carried on here by converts.
 The trial of the minister took place before Justice of tue Peace Smith during the afternoon, be- ing held in the Baptist church, because there is no other place of sufficient size to hold the crowd that wished to hear the examina- ton. A large number of witness es were introduced. No decision has been rendered as yet.

FRENCH NAVY IS IN
 4 BAD CONDITION
Parliamentary Commission Report Severely Condemned the
 Naval Administration.

Paris, June 24.--The report of tho parliamentary commission which in- vestigated the naval scandals in France has been turned in. It is a scathing condemnation of the naval administration for the last ten years. and 1t makes an astounding exposure of the deplorable condition of the fleet for which France has spent $700. .000,- 900 since 1899
 The $50 pages of the report are fill- cd with details of the inefficiency re- sulting from confusion and red tape, conditions that make French naval construction cost 25 per cent more than English or German. As an evi- denee of these methods 1t Is pointed out that the manufacture of cast Iron shells of large calibre condemned af- ter the accident to the battleship Iona continued in larger quantities than ever for two whole years. The Patrie, the Republlque and other ships of this class were found equipped with sec ondary guns of model of 1885 in stead of 1909. as the specifications required. Neither the ammunition nor tho guns for the six ships of the Dan ton type. to be completed in 1ali, will be ready before 1914. and France has not single dry dock capable of ac. commodating these vessels when they are finished. Perhaps the gravest feature of the exposure is the lack of reserve coal and ammunition supplies at the various ports and arsenals. One officer testified before the com. mission that at the end of naval battle of six hours the ships would find 1t impossible to replenish and would be virtually out of commission The commission recommends the com plete reorganization of the depart ment the elimination of red tape and the distribution of responsibility. It insists especially upon the creation of a department of construction and equipment entirely separate from the general staff.

 Nebraska.

Norton. Kan, June Morthwest- ern Norton County and Southern Ne braska were storm swept by half dozen tornadoes. all plainly seen by citizens here. lacy followed very sultry day, rain accompanied by a heavy hail storm in this city, half hour later All rural telephone lines are down and reports are meager. Rural mail carriers out of here report each cyclone destructive.
 Forty head of cattle on the Bruns- wick ranch, 13 miles northwest, were killed, a number being carried several miles and the carcasses dumped in pastures and wheat fields.

 Two tornadoes formed later in the evening 12 miles southwest of this city, travelling eastward Lanora, Kan, is reported to have been struck by them. but all wires are down and the report cannot be verified. Mrs. George Tansill, who lives 13 miles northwest of Norton. described the storm as ter rife in it's destruction. carrying away everything in its path. Large trees, wire fence, stock and debris of every description were scattered over the country for miles.

The tornadoes formed in the little valley of Sappa Creek and fol owed it for 10 or l2 miles northeast ward, touching the earth every few hundred yards.
