the six clubs Of st. Louis and the two

seem to be large association, yet it
must be remembered that Quincy
and st. Louis are the two most I'M

the interest and enthusiasm maintain

nual races never fail to stir the enthu-
siasm Of the real lovers of sport.

WATER POWER
REPORT SOON.
Freeman VIII Make Favorable
Opinion When He Files His
Detailed Report Of His
investigation
He IS IN FAVOR OF IT
Has Made Brief Advance statement
in Which He Says the pro
jeet IS Certainly
Good One.
He IS IN FAVOR OF IT

During the summer j. H. Freeman,
It will be remembered, was in this vi
cinity for several days, making sur
vey OF the river and checking up the
plans and reports of Engineer Cooper
on the water power proposition. He
was Lere in the interests of eastern
capital which is being solicited in the
project and his report to his principals
is expected to have great deal to do
with the future Of the project
Mr.. Freeman has not yet made his
full detailed report upon his trip, but
1T is known that he will make most
favorable report which is very encour-
aging news.
He has made partial report In
which he states that he is greatly inn
pressed with the project and finds that
Mr.. Cooper's figures; and estimates are
correc. and conservative.
He found that Mr.. Cooper was too
modest in some OF his figures, the
Freeman investigation showing a
greater output of power during the
low water than does Mr.. Cooper.
Report Next Month.
The full detailed report of Mr.. Free
man is said TO be due in August when
he will file it with the capitalists and
from the brief advance report, it seems
that he will make report so favor
able to the project that the capita, will
be forthcoming.
The fact that Mr.. Freeman, himself,
an eminent engineer, agrees with Mr..
Cooper that the water power project
is not only feasible but good invest
ment and would be successful I'M
dertaking. adds to the optimistic view
of the situation.

CHOLERA MENACE
TO A WHOLE CITY
Disease Breaks Out Anew
in St. Petersburg and
Threatens Epidemic.

ST. PETERSBURG. June st Pc
tersburg today IS beginning TO reap the
harvest Of cholera deaths that were
sowed last fall, when she failed to take
effective measures to stamp out the
disease.
The disease, which never completely
disappeared, even during the midwinter.
is now breaking out at an alarming rate
in all parts of the city, and threatens
the worst havoc in years.
The health authorities are fighting the
cholera in the same half hearted man
ner that marked their work last year.
No attempt has vet been made to isolate
TIE numerous patients, many of whom
have been permitted TO remain for days
in crowded lodging houses.
The city is indescribabiy filthy, and
examination has shown that the river
Neva, the city's sole water supply, Is
infected with bacilli
Physicians predict an unprecedented
epidemic. and express the fear that it
will sweep all Europe. There are now
several hundred cases in the city.

MENACE IN MILK.
STRAUS DECLARES
Says Human Race Faces
Extinction Through Tu-
berculosiS in Cattle.

BUDAPEST, June THE extinction
of the human race through the use
of tuberculosis milk unless the world
awakens to the gravity OF the evii, was
the direful prophecy of Nathan Straus.
the New York philanthropist, made to-
day before the International Dairy Con-
gress.
He declared that the spread of tu-
berculosis among both cattle and the
human family is due to the use of tu-
berculosis milk. Mr.. Straus' paper was
read by another delegate. the author
being unable TO attend.
''T1bercular COWS bear healthy
calves he said. but straightaway in
feet them with this disease through the
milk they give their young. When the
calves are weaned these diseased cows
supply the germs of the White Plague
10 the human beings who use their
milk. Thus, we are inviting the ex-
termination of the dairy industry and
the human race, for this plague is in
creasinE both among cattle and among
men. and viii increase like the spread
ing of a fire, so long as the milk swarm
ing with tubercle baciln is used as food
9or calves or babies.
But we need not sit down in stupid
helplessness. We have the tuberculin
lest to detect the infected animals
and the Bang method of segregating
the diseased cows. This will save
the dairy herds. And We have
the perfectly feasible method of saw
ing the babies by pasteurizing all the
milk that does not come from tubercu-
nn-tested herds.
As for the consequences of dairymen
selling tuberculosis milk, Mr. Straus
pointed out that there has been in New
York city in two years an increase Of 81
per cent in the number of new cases
of tuberculosis. AT this rate. he said,
within a generation the great wealth
Of the American metropolis would be in
sufficient to provide support for the
tuberculosis patients
Bovine tuberculosis now costs the
American farmer S14,000,000 a year. and
the immediate killing of all the tuber-
eulous dairy cows, II 1t could be affect
ed, would cost a billion dollars. Mr.
Straus said. The only safe alternative
was the pasteuriZation of all milk from
infected cows.
