Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt
Guests of Oyster Bay

OYSTER BAY. N. Y, March ~13.-Former
President and Mrs. Roosevelt were the
guests tonight at a reception held in their
honor In the town hall
From $3.50 to 1920 Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt
stood behind the Justices railing In the
town clerks office and the townspeople
filed by shaking hands and exchanging
farewell greetings.
1t was a great night for Oyster Bay.
Many Of the townspeople had not seen their
distinguished first citizen since he Telin-
quIshed his great office and returned here
among them to become IA private citizen
of the privatest kind" They had prepared
a rousing welcome for him on the night of
his return from the national capital, but
his train did not reach here until $3.50 in the
I morning and by that time three-fourths OF
| those who had come to welcome him had
returned to their homes. 30 tonight many
OF the villagers combined their greetings
Of welcome home with wishes Of farewell,
Notwithstanding the announcement that
the reception was to be given for Oyster

J0BBERS FEAR EFFECT OF
SIDEWALK PLATFORM RULING
Think ImpOsitiOns May he Prac-
ticed by Property Owners on
the shippers.

Wholesalers and manufacturers who have
elevated sidewalkss used for shipping plat
forms are somewhat nervous over the de-
cision Of Judge Troup in district court Fri
day that the city council had no right 10
grant permission for the erection of such
platforms.
ut offers an opportunity for anyone in
the neighborhood owning property to i'm
pose on the shippers" said a wholesaler.
Down in the wholesale district the ele-
waited sidewalk or platform is not an in
convenience to property owners, and such
| walks are a convenience to shippers.
"That the case in court Yesterday was
typical of the actual amount of damages
| which such walks cause. is shown by tho
fact that an attorney approached the Loose
| WIles company or it's agents and offered
to withdraw the complaint of Pat Gleason
If the cracker company would pay Gleason
$500. This did not look good to the LOOSE
Wiles company, as it thought II $500 rep
resented the damage to the Gleason prop
erty, it would be more than offset by the
Improvement and the increase in value
which would accrue to property near the
big $4,000 plant 1t intends to erect"

lance came to the village to attend.
For every one the ex-president had Q
hearty greeting and with many he chatted
pleasantly for a minute or more. Reminis-
cences were numerous between Mr.. Roose-
welt and the older men who had known
him since an early age. Almost every
mother in the village brought with her her
children, for they all know the former
president is a great admirer OF children.
He was especially pleased to see them.
A tall colored youth was one of the first
to shake hands with the former president.
He remarked to Mr.. Roosevelt: Nv car
ried the Roosevelt banner In two campaigns
and l hope ] shall have the honor Of doing
so again.
TO this Mr.. Roosevelt replied smilingly,
Time alone will tell whether you are to
be afforded that opportunity
Fully 1000 people shook hands with Mr..
Roosevelt and when the reception was over
he declared he enjoyed it equally as well
as the receptions at the White House. He
had met his old friends and nelEhbors ana
men whom he had been brought up with
thirty years ago.

SERUM FOR PNEUMONIA
ProRress OF Efforts to secure an Eft
fectlve Remedy for
Disease

Two announcements Of the production Of
an antitoxin for pneumonia have been
made in tho last few days. One comes from
Boston. and credits men who are associated
with the Tufts Medical college with the
achievement. The other emanates from
Darmstadt. Germany, where a physician
named Landmann has been engaged in the
same class of work. SO confusing is the
statement made in the first of these in
stances that no serious injustice will be
done by ignoring 1t for the present. The
second has a slightly stronge title to no
tice. Landmarks product is mentioned by
a London medical weekly, THE Hospital"
and is said to have met successfully tests
prescribed by the Ehrlich Institute for
Pathological Experimentation. Perhaps the
strongest recommendation of Landmann's
serum is the fact that he makes no boast
concerning its virtues. He simply asks
that practitioners try It in a few cases,
employ the older treatment with the same
number of patients, and then compare re-
suits.
Many previous attempts have been made
to utilize the germs of pneumonia in the
manufacture of a remedy for that disease.
Some of them have been distinct failures,
and regarding the value Of the others there
is still much doubt. 1t is said that most
Of the serums hitherto tried have proved
too feeble to exert a perceptible influence.
1t is because something better is appar-
emily needed that every fresh venture de-
serves attention. The warmest encourage
ment should be given to such endeavors.
therefore, but their outcome should not be
accepted without the most rigid criticism.
How important these efforts are one does
not realize unless he recalls the fact that
pneumonia now causes more deaths than
any other disease. tuberculosis once
claimed more victims. but has now lost
that unfortunate distinction. The change
in the situation is due to two causes. A
more successful warfare is waged against
the great white plague today than was
conducted twenty or thirty years ago. In
influenza, which was practically unknown
to earlier generations, has been found an
agency which predisposes those whom II
afflicts to a variety of other disorders,
among which is the most fatal Of acute
diseases of the respiratory organs. There
is greater occasion now than ever for
studying how to conquer pneumonia.-New
York Tribune.

in the towns of the second class of Iowa,
following the elections of last Monday of

phase OF municipal government. Instead OF

HoGAN's FIFTH TRIP TO PRISON
Promptly Recognized by Guards at
Fort Madison.

Fort Madison.
Albert Hogan, who was given an indie
terminate sentence not exceeding ten years
In the penitentiary at Fort Madison for
breaking into the Lindsay warehouse and
stealing hides and furs valued at over $50,
has been proven TO be an old offender.
The term to which he was sentenced By
Judge Thornell will be his fifth in the Iowa
penitentiaries.
When Deputy Sheriff woolman arrived
at Fort Madison with Hogan, the prisoner
was greeted by the guards and others at
the state prison as an old acquaintance.
Deputy Woolmap was informed by the
warden that the one he was entering upon
was the fifth term for Hogan. The records
at the penitentiary show that Hogan had
previously served two terms at Fort Madi-
sonson and two at Anamosa. At Fort Madi-
son he served two and one-half years on
one sentence and five years on another. Al
Anamosa he served sentences of three and
five years.
When sentenced to Fort Madison by
Judge Thornell for the Lindsay burglary,
Hogan told the court that III ought to be
sent to Anamosa, as he was only % year.
Of age. The records at Fort Madison show
that when Hogan was SEM there In 1s&
his age was given as 80 years and that
would make him forty-four years of age
now. Hogan. according to the records al
Fort Madison, was twice convicted under
the name Of Bradford. While enroute tc
Fort Madison Hogan admitted to the
deputy that he was over 20 years Of age
and that the talk he gave the judge was
only a bluff.
