fects of the operation and will be able
to resume his duties in a short time
He was thoroughly prepared for the
ordeal and was confident at all times
of its success. DR.. Morgan has' been in
poor health for some time, and it was
at first thought he was suffering from
appendicitis. When the trouble was
found to be of another nature, it was
decided to have an operation per-
formed.
There were few dry eyes during the
service in the chapel of the church last
night. when prayers for the success of
the operation of their pastor were of
fered by the congregation. 1t was the
weekly prayer meeting of the church.
but it transformed itself into a praper
service for the pastors recovery. The
stormy weather had no effect. appar-
emily. on the attendance. There were
about 100 parishioners present when the
meeting was opened.
Prayers for the recovery of DR.. Nor
gan were offered by Joseph Allen, sgd
ney Smith, Mrs. Drake and Mrs. Hill,
of Iowa, a representative of the Home
Missionary Society. All expressed con-
fidence In the outcome and the general
tone of the prayers was that the means
used would be under divine direction.
Remarks were made also by Charles
L. Pitts, as we'll as by Messrs Allen and
Smith and Mrs. Hill. All knelt during
the prayers. DR.. Morgan has been pas
tor of the Central M. E. Church for
ten years, having succeeded the Rev.

TAFT OVERLOOKED
CONSTITUTION IN
CHOOSING KNOX
Pennsylvania May Not Ba
Eligible for Cabinet Place
Until 1911.
LAW MAY BE STRETCHED
TO CLEAR DIFFICULTY
Republican Senators Are Plan
ming Loophole to Make the
Selection Legal.

WASHINGTON. Feb Ex-senator
Philander Chase Knox today declined
TO discuss the point raised that the
constitution bars him from the cab
met post 10 which he has been selected
by President-elec Taft.
Under paragraph Q section S. of ar
ticle l. of the constitution Of the Uni
ted States, he could not be eligible for
appointment as secretary of State.
This paragraph reads: mo senator or
representative shall. during the time
for which he was elected. be appointed
TO any civil Office under the authority
of the United States which shall have
been created. or the emoluments
whereof shall have been increased dur
ing such time
Knox was elected TO the United
States Senate in January, 1905, for
term of six years, to end on March 3,
1911. In the second session of the fifty
ninth Congress, in 1907. Congress in
creased the salaries of the cabinet
members from $4,000 to $4,000 year.
This legislation evidently was lost
sight of when Senator Knox was Sc
lected to be the premier of the Taft
cabinet. Senator Knox had Intended to
resign from the Senate on March and
enter tha Taft cabinet. On the face OF
the constitutional provision, however.
he clearly would be ineligible for the
cabinet for two more years.
1t is believed that Senator Knox's
friends will base their contention that
he is eligible for appointment TO the
cabinet on the plea that by resigning
mis- senatorial office prior to March he
will become a private citizen. The con-
stitution does not prohibit the appoint
ment of a private citizen to such office
under the existing conditions, hence
Mr.. Knox might be regarded as elig :
ible to appointment as secretary OF
state after March f.
"Yes," said Senator Hale. discussing
the situation, ''it would be Tery seri-
GUS If there were no remedyA but there
is a remedy in repeal of the law in
creasing the salary of secretary OF
state and it will be Immediately ap-
piled. The portion of the law applying
to the Office of secretary of State can
be cancelled by legislation and as the
law was never intended to apply In
such as case as that of Mr.. Knox. there
is no doubt that a bill with this end
in view will be Immediately introduced
and just as little doubt that it will be
passed"
The general consensus of opinion on
both sides of the senate chamber was in
accord with Senator Hale's view that
the situation should be remedied by the
repeal of the law insofar as it affected
the Office of the secretary of state, but
there were a few dissenting voices on
the Democratic side
Senator Clark, of Wyoming. chairman
of the committee on judiciary. expressed
himself as entirely willing to leave the
disposition of the matter in the hands
of Mr. Knox and Mr. Taft

Witnesses Say Woman Before
Death Declared Tragedy
Was Her Own Fault.
DEFENDANT DENIED HIS
MARRIAGE, COPS SWEAR
States Claim that Leo's Hands
Showed No Blisters Is Refuted.
Verdict Likely Tomorrow.

With fair prospects of verdict by
tomorrow, the defense of Michael Leo,
charged with burning to death his 16-
year-old bride, Angelina, in their home,
in Morris avenue, last March, was be-
gun before Judge Ten Eyck in the Court
of Oyer and Terminer and the struck
Jury today. The defense is one of abso-
lutte denial
Two distinct points maintained by
Prosecutor Mott were that Leo had
taken out 81, 500 endowment insurance
policy for his wife short time before
her death, and that, according to sew
eral witnesses, Leo. Immediately after
the fire in his home, where he had
claimed he did his best to save his
wife's life, showed no signs of burns on
his hands or any other part of the body,
although he had declared that his hands
had been badly burned
The Jurors We're housed in Koch S
Hotel, Broad street, last night under
constabulary guard and headed by their
foreman, Moses Plaut, resumed their
seats today.
Policemen Are InterrOgated.
Before the defense was formally
opened by Mr.. Hahn, Mr.. Mott called
Policemen Kass and Siebold, of the
Fourth Precinct Station. who swore
that they were called a month before
the burning 20 the house, where there
had been quarrel, and that Leo then
said that he was not married to the
woman.
1t was decided today that before the
jurors retire they should visit the prem
ises SO as to get better idea of condi-
tions
Mr.. Hahn said:
1.-The defense will be that the defend
ant is absolutely innocent of this charge
and that this was an accidental burn
ing. The defendant is in no way re-
sponsible for the death of this unfor-
tunate woman. Leo did all he could to
save the woman and he is only too glad
to explain to your satisfaction all that
he can explain
Louis S. White, sr., swore that on the
night of the fire Leo was much excited
and had blisters on his thumb and the
side of his thumb and the palm of his
hand.
Mr.. Mott demanded of White whether
he had not been convicted of a criminal
conspiracy. along with Justice of the
Peace Bosset, in 1897. White admitted
that such was the case.
"MichseJ, Help Mel,
Dianato Caponi, a druggist OF 80 Four
teenth avenue, also testified that Leo
was man of good character, and then
Thomas Pambalone, of 314 Morris ave-
nue., also a near neighbor. swore that
after the fire he heard her crying in the
hospital:
Michael, help me. 1 am dead, am
dying!"
The Rev. James Zuccarrelli, of st.
Rocco's Church, testified that he visited
the City Hospital where the woman
lay, some time after the fire. saw her
there, apparently in dying condition.
From him Mr.. Henry ELECTED a death
bed marriage by Father Zuccarrelli,
and that this was done at the sug-
gestion of the interested parties. They
had been previously married in the
Mayors office.
Was she in state of conscious
neEs?" asked Mr.. Henry.
"She answered the questions as she
lcnnunued ON second Pare.)

BLAMES TUBERCULOUS MILK.
Nathan Straus Says It Makes Fight
Against White Plague Ineffective.

Washington, May 13.-That the Wig
orous campaign against tuberculosis
has failed to check the great white
plague was the statement made today
by Nathan Straus of New York at the
fifth annual meeting of the Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
vulosis mere today.
Mr. Straus produced official statis-
tics from the New York health depart
ment showing an increase of 33 per
cent in two years in cases of tuber-
culosis in the city that DR.. Koch de-
scrihed as leading the whole world in
the fight against the disease.
The reason for this failure to make
Roadway. Mr.. Straus said, was the neg
lect of the mischief wrought by the tu-
berculosis dairy COW. Citing his own
1S-yearS experience in saving lives, he
summed up by saying that the aboli-
ton Of tuberculosis will begin when it
is made a crime to sell milk unless it
comes from tuberculin tested cows or
has been properly pasteurized.
In the absence because of illness of
the president. DR.. Vincent Y. Bow
ditch of New York, Homer Folks of
New York City. one of the vice presi-
dents. presided. Several hundred del
esate., prominent in the anti-tubercu-
lOsis campaign from all parts of the
country were present.
In his address Mr.. Folk declared that
one of the pressing needs now was for
adequate hospital provision for the
consumptives in the intermediate and
advanced stages.
The report of the executive secre-
tary, Livingston Harrington, showed
a new membership Of 900, making a to-
tai of 2107. one of the most striking ad-
vahces made during the year was that
"a state Legislatures have considered
tuberculosis legislation.

NATURES Defence
AGAINST DISEASE
Is Strengthened by the Tonic
Treatment for Rheumatism
as This Maine Case
Proves.

Pure, red blood is the body's only do.
fence against disease. When healthy,
the blood attacks the poisons of disease
and so changes them that they can be
thrown OIL through the lungs, skin, kid.
neys and bowels. In fact this is what
the blood is constantly doing and dis.
ease occurs only when the blood be.
comes impure through errors in living,
such as overwork, worry, lack of fresh
air or of nourishing food. It is then
unable to overcome the poisons and they
are carried throughout the body and in
the weakest organs the disease gains .
foothold.
In the case of Mrs. Edward Fenton.
OF Sullivan, Maine, the rheumatic poi.
sons in the blood were probably heredi.
tary. She says:
''For five or six years I was q victim
OF nervous indigestion and suffered q
great deal. Food distressed me and |
was troubled with gas on my stomach.
While in this condition l had an attack
OF acute rheumatism. At the time l
was run down through overwork. In
my case, however, think the disease

My feet were SO swollen that l couldn't

kept awake by them many nights The
pain was constant and hurt me SO that

~ was under the care Of two doctors
for nearly year but they didn't help
me. Upon the advice of friend then

They helped me from the first and after

Nature needs some help in most cases
in fighting disease and the tonic treat
ment with DIR. Williams Pink Pills IS
the most efficient that can be given.
They contain no stimulant, opiate OF
narcotic and cannot injure the most
delicate constitution.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be mailed, postpaid

boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams
