FOR Il SPECIFIC TARIFF.
Both Parties in Ways and Means
Committee Agrec on Change.

From The Tribune Bureau
Washington. Jan. 2S--The new tariff bill VIII
contain a provision making the valuation or
IMPORTS dependent on the wholesale price of the
articles In this country. The Republican and
Democratic members of the Ways and Means
Committee agreed that this change in the law is
necessary in order to check much as possible
the constant undervaluations under the present
system of valuing imports on the export price IN
the country from which they sent. or leaving
the duty in the hands OF the customs officer.
with broad and unsatisfactory rules
Representative Payne chairman Of the COM
rittee. has been for many years an advocate OF
this change and he has persuaded his committee
that the proposed method is necessary The
figures presented to the committee by govern
ment experts show that there have been whole
sale undervaIuations of many articles which
come 10 this country. and that the Treasury has
been annually defrauded out OF a large sum
NJ money. Mr. Payne believes that with the new
system undervaluation will become much more
difficult and it is certain that his plan Will be
adopted by the Ways and Means Committee

THE TUBERCULAR GERM
TECHNIQUE OF ROSEN
BERGER DISCOVERY.
In Ne7c Method of Developing Cult

Philadelphia Ian 2S-Dr Randle c. Rosen-
berger's discovery of the tuberculosis germ in
the blood has been announced, but details of his
technique have not been made public until to-
day In advance proofs of THE American
Journal OF Medical Science" the following de-
scrption of this new step in bacteriology Is
authorized and complete:
When a patient is suspected Of having tuber-
cuIosis germs in his blood a tourniquet is bound
tightly about his arm in order to bring the veins
into prominence From any vein of sufficient
size at the elbow the blood is drawn with
hypodermic syringe after the skin at the spot
selected has been first sterilized chemically TO
insure the removal of every possible means OF
infection or contamination from the skin itself
A definite quantity of blood. about two tea
spoonfuls is drawn from the vein, and the
needle wound is dressed and bandaged. there
being no resultant pain or trouble beyond
slight itching for few moments.
The blood withdrawn is Immediately mixed
with & salt solution to prevent its clottng, and
the tube containing it is placed on ice for twen-
ty-four hours Herein lies the radical difference
between the cultivation" or growing Of the
typhoid germ in what are known as culture
mediums" wherein heat plays part the nor

containing tuberculosis germs is placed most

2 per cent of citrate Of soda
After twenty-four hours the blood has settled
in the vial. and the sediment at the bottom OF
the glass is withdrawn, siphOnike, through a
hollow glass tube. Being spread upon small
glass slides. this blood is dried on a small strip
of metal held firmly in place above small, even
gas flame Thoroughly dry il is almost inde-

this means The slide is again dried.
Immersed in carbo fuchsin, a red stain. for
five minutes the entire slide is next stained red;
immersed again for five minutes in what is
known as Pappenheim's solution. blue stain,
the entire slide IS stained blue with the excep-
ton OF the tuberculosis germ itself. which re-
mains red Therein lies the entire Rosenberger
secret Under the microscope these red germs
are revealed against the blue field, and the sci

out Of EIihu Roots speech to the Legislature.

against direct nominations. and from which they
are drawing all kinds of infereuces as to the

one sad mistake. Good Republicans. all keen

its cryptic utterance on primary reform. one and

convention Mr. Root put himself record in
favor of direct primary nominations

speech to the state convention. he said.

selection of legislative candidates by direct rri-

would greatly Increase the sense Of immedists

him and the whistle of a ball. Real
izing at once that he was the target at
which the bullet had been fired, he
dropped from his wheel and lay fat in
the road, waiting for some movement
that would show him the position of
his concealed enemy. Nothing stirred,
however, and after waiting a while,
Alameda mounted his wheel again and
started to ride on. He had hardly done
so when another bullet whistled by ms
ear. A search of the neighborhood
failed to locate the would-be murderer,
and the officer continued on his rounds
This was about one clock at night.
Two hours later the officer was at the
telephone box in the lower part of
Iwilei calling in to the station house
when another shot was fred at him
from the darkness. Alameda notified
the police station and squad of officers
was sent down TO help him hunt for the
man who had three times attempted to
murder him. The search, however. was
unavaiiing. No trace could be found

close watch will be kept over that part

after that on Chief Leal, when the lat
ter was wounded by a knife in the
