VOTE ON REFERENDUM A TIE ! MAYOR DECLARES IT DEFEATED
Primrose Believes Committee Should Think for Voters as if They We're Children.
Those Against Giving Voice to People Le Primrose Wilson-Fight Will be Carried to Common Council and / Sent to Legislature.

1 The city attorney agreed that the putting through the whole charter at
 one time was a mistake.
 1 MT. Morrissey presented his resolu- l tion for a referendum in two forms. l Of the first the mayor said: "I will have no such resolution as that is
 tackled on to any of the amendments that I propose"
 The resolution designed by MT. Mor-
 rissey to give the people a chance to
 say something about their government
 is as follows:
 Resolved, That there shall be at
 tached to the amendments favored by this committee, a section identical with Sec. 149 of the existing charter, which provides for submission to the people, excepting that the word 1907 in the third line of said section shall be changed to 1909, so that the first three lines of said section shall read:
 ''This act shall not take effect un- less approved by the electors of the city of Bridgeport at the annual meet ing of said city to be held in Novem- Der, 19O9''
 Wishing to secure the unanimous support of the committee upon some sort of provision to get the amend ments before the people, MT. Morris sey did not move for the adoption of the original resolution, but offered the second resolution, which follows:
 Resolved, This act shall not take ef- feet until 90 days after it's passage, and if in the meantime there shall be sub- mitted to the Common Council of said Bridgeport a petition signed by five per cent. of the electors, requiring the submission of any section, or part thereof, the said section or part shall not take effect unless approved by the electors of said city, at the annual meeting of said city to be held in November, 1909. The means of bal loting shall be the same as provided in Section 149 of the existing charter"
 Alderman Clifford B. Wilson read the resolution, and the mayor took ex- ception to it, as he thought the 90 day clause would interfere with his mak- ing other appointments in the times to in the amendments. He thought that would put the time over so that his successor would have the making of the appointments.
 City Attorney Cullinan said he did not think the mayor would be inter- tered with in making the appoint 1 ments. He did not think that over one per cent. of the people would be 1 interested enough to petition concern Ing the amendments the mayor had 1 presented to. the council. He said the | 'esoIution would guard against. the r of any act by persons with l bower at Hartford.
 Anyone who has power enough to get anything through said the may ,r, "has also power enough to get it 1 through without the referendum.''
 MT. Morrissey moved the adoption of he resolution. City Attorney Culli- nan, Alderman Tague and Mr. Morris ;ey for the resolution; Aldermen Prim- 'ise and Wilson and the mayor against t. As four votes were necessary to adopt the mayor declared the motion Ost.

BLOOD SHOWS GERM
 OF TUBERCULOSIS
Rosenberger Claims to Have Proved Secret of It's
 Transmission
He Explains Means He Has Discovered of Making a Truthful Diagnosis.

Philadelphia, Jan. 28.-Baffled for
 ears by the quick distribution of the
 tuberculosis germ through the human
 tody, scientists have found this to be
 the one great obstacle that stood 1n
 the way of announcement of the find
 ing of a cure for consumption, which
 costs the United States $3, 325, 900, 900 an-
 nually, more than enough to pay the
 running expenses of the Government for five years. Publication of Dr. Ran- dle C. Rosenberger's discovery already slas been made, but tonight the au- ,hentic description of the technique of this new step in bacteriology is author ized in every detail.
 That the blood conveys the tuberculo- s4is germ from one organ of the body 10 another has long been suspected. but
 was never proved definitely until Dr. Rosenberger, who is the bacteriologist of both the Jefferson Medical College and the Philadelphia Hospital, demon strated it's entire truth in a series of investigations into the blood of three score of patients in the laboratory of the Philadelphia Hospital. in Thirty fourth street, below Spruce.
 A patient suspected of having tu- berculosis germs in his blood is brought before his physician and a tourniquet is bound tightly about his arm in order to bring the veins into prominence. From any vein of sufH- cient size at the elbow the blood is drawn with a hypodermic syringe, af- ter the skin at the spot selected has oeen first sterilized.
 About two teaspoonfuls of blood is drawn from the vein and the needle prick is dressed and bandaged, there being no resultant pain or trouble be- yond a slight itching. The blood is- mixed with a salt solution to prevent it's clotting and the tube it is placed on ice for twen- ty-four hours.
 After twenty-four hours time the blood has settled in the vial and this sediment which has gone to the bot tom of the glass is withdrawn. spread upon small glass slides this blood is dried on small strip of metal held firmly in place above a small, even gas fame Thoroughly dry it is almost in destructable except through breaking ing of the glass slide itself.
 These slides are next immersed in distilled water and the red corpuscles are removed by this means. This slide Is again dried. It is next stained"
 Immersed in carbol fuchsin, red stain, for five minutes the. entire slide IS SIdlIicu ICu, iII1IiOl oCd eaSdiII IoI uNO minutes in what is known as Pappen- neim's solution, blue stain the entire slide is stained blue with the excep- ,oin of the tuberculosis germ itself, which remains red. Therein is the en- ire Rosenberger secret" Under the these red germs are reveal ,d against the blue field.
 The scientist then knows his patient 1as consumption germs in the blood.
 To the medical profession the value | If this technique and the discoveries it | permits lies in it's furnishing a means | if making an immediate truth full di- l ,gnosis of the presence of tuberculosis | Il the patient.

GOLD STRIKE IN TRANsvAAL.

George Probasco, one of the old
timers, reports good strike OF gold
ore about three-fourths of a mile
northeast of the Transvaal of Nevada
property in the Bullfrog district. MI.
Probasco says that Bob Hampton
has opened a three-foot vein of ore
which carries gold values from SIS
to $50 a ton. Mr.. Hampton is ne
gotiating with Goldfield parties for
the property and expects to close the
sale within the near future.
Mr.. Probasco says that the Trans
vail section, while quiet, has been
subjected to more or less prospecting
the last year, and some day he ex-
poets to see big revival in that sec
ton. The original strike has not
been developed to any great extent,
although at surface it is one of the
most promising things in the coun-
try.

Gamble Makes Demand
For Property Awarded by
Washoe County Court

time, when the property came into
his possession, as it must, eventually,
it would not be allowed to remain
idle, and he has sufficient capital be-
hind him to give it an equipment
equal to anything in the country.
The portion of the property de-
manded by Mr.. Gamble, includes all
the holdings of the Blair estate. 1t
does not include the Mary, Mohawk,
Homestake, nor any of the property
acquired from the Mohawk-Alpine
company, and the cost of operations
of the two properties have always
been kept separate. The water right
at Silver Peak is portion of the
property demanded by Gamble,
which is the feature of the affair
likely to cause hardship upon the
present operating company, and, if
withdrawn, will cause hardship
upon the residents of Blair. Mr.
Gamble is disposed, however, to be
generous in the matter and, in re-
'spect to the water, will only ask that
his rights be respected.
The effect of the new turn of af.
fairs upon the stockholders of the
Pittsburg-Silver Peak company, is
difficult to conjecture. If the pos
sessions of the company are curtail
ed, it is almost certainty that the
stock will go to much lower figure
than at present, and the reason fol
it not going to a higher figure, bu
steadily declining, is readily under
stood, when it is known that tn,
San Francisco brokers have had al
inside knowledge Of the affairs al
the way through.
Mr.. Gamble left for his home Sat
urday morning, to secure an injunc
ton restraining the Pittsburg-Silve
Peak company from further opera
ton OF the property claimed by hin

MEETS DEATH IN ACCIDENT.

Luciano Coscorosso met his death
last Saturday morning in most
distressing manner. While getting
horses ready to start out, in stable
on the ranch of Tom Minor at Willow

who was seated in his saddle, noticed
a loaded shotgun standing in the
corner of the barn, within his reach.

A very modest, unassuming gen.
tleman, accompanied by young
gentleman and lady! stepped of the
motor car last Friday, on it's arrival.
Many of the Tonopah contingent
here recognized the young couple as
Cleve Baker, the district attorney,
and his wife.
Proceeding to the Blair the elder
gentleman registered as B. A. Gam
BILE, of California. Immediately after
lunch the two gentlemen repaired to
the Office of the Pittsburg-Silver
Peak company, where a demand was
made for that portion of the COM
pany's property which was purchas-
ed from the Blair estate. Their de-
mand was, of course, refused. Per-
mission was then asked, and grant
ed, for the party to go through the
mill, after which General Manager
Juessen, Cashier Voorhees, and Mr.
and Mrs Baker took the company
auto, and, under the guidance of
Master Mechanic McKenna, went to
Tonopah, presumably to consult with
the attorneys of the company, Bart
lett, Thatcher and Gibbons.
Mr.. Gamble, in the afternoon, went
to the mine, where he inspected the
changes made since his day, several
years ago, and spent the evening in
old friends, he having been engaged
in business in Candelaria some years
ago.
To the Press Mr.. Gamble stated
that evening that he had won out on
Jerry point, in every court, in his
Intention with the Blairs, and last
January was awarded the property
by Judge Pike, of the Washoe county
court, the court that a sum for dam
ages sustained by Mr.. Gamble would
be announced later, but SO far, has
not been DONE
Mr.. Gamble gave us quite histor!
of the case, but its particulars are
more or less familiar to our readers
and need not be recounted at thi
time. When as ked as to the posi-
bility of compromise with the par
ties in possession, he indicated tina
it was very remote, and stated tina
