SOUNDS WARNING ON
TUBERCULOSIS MILK
Nathan Straus, New York Philanthropy
list, Says Human Race Is Threat
ened With Extinction.

BUDAPEST, June THE extinc-
ton OF the human race through the
use OF tuberculosis milk, unless the
world awakens to the gravity OF the
evil. was the prophecy of Nathan
Straus, the New York philanthropist,
made today before the International
Dairy Congress. He declared the
spread of tuberculosis among both cat
tie and the Human family Is due to
use of tuberculosis milk. Mr.. Straps'
paper was read by another delegate,
the author being unable to attend.
"Tuberculous cows bear healthy
calves" he said. But straightaway
infect 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 to 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
creasing both among cattle and among
men and will increase like the spread
ing of a fire so long as the milk
swarming with tubercule baccilli Is
used for calves or babies"

ST. PETERSBURG. June 7.--St Pc
tersburg is today beginning to reap
the harvest of cholera deaths that
she sowed last fall when she failed
to take EFFECTIVE measures to stamp
out the disease which is now break
ing out at an alarming rate and
threatens the worst havic in years.
The health authorities are fighting
the cholera in the same half-hearted
manner that marked their work last
year No attempt has yet been made
to isolate the numerous patients.
The city is indescribably filthy and
examination has shown that the river
Neva, the city's sole water supply,
is affected with baccilli.
Physicians. predict an unprecedented
epidemic and express the fear that 1t
will sweep all Europe.
There are now several hundred cases

part OF the protest of the middle west
against the Aldrich plan TO revise the

rather hopeful of the outcome.

"You think the time we'll spent

"The time" said the senator. lis

possibility OF an immediate renewal
of the agitation. The renewal OF bus
ipess in itself does not necessarily
settle the tariff question.
Some people seem 10 overlook the
fact that the demand for revision or
the tariff arose not from condition
Of depressed business, but grew In the
public mind at a time when business
activity was at its greatest. The de-
mand seemed to find its inspiration In
the thought that a general reduction
, always within the limits of real pro-
tection-would lessen the tendency to-
ward monopoly and would restore a
healthy measure OF competition The
present case Is different from that OF
1897. At that time revision was un-
dertaken under a depressed business
condition. attributed largely to an in
sufficient protection under the existing

NOT CERTAIN ABOUT
AUTOMATIC SYSTEM

The executive committee represent
ing the Mutual and Wxreless com
panies have been considering the basis
of amalgamation of the two CON-
panies, but have not quite concluded
the preliminary work, but it is ex-
pected this will be completed within
a few days.
With the information in hand, those
who purchased the control E of the
Wireless and Mutual were not salts
fed from the data they could get here
that it would be advisable to abandon
the present manual system and take
up the automatic system as substi-
tute, and therefore cabled for an ex-
tension of the option to give an oppor-
tunity for further investigation. They
had not received a reply up to last
night, and are not certain whether it
win be granted or not. The option
expired at midnight.
If the extension is not granted the
company will go ahead and improve
the present system. The committee is
informed that the present trouble with
the telephone system is not in the
interior arrangement, but in the out
side construction, which is faulty and
defective. If the manual system is to
be improved, the company will begin
an extensive overhauling and recon
struction of the outside system and
nut most of the wires IJudprgrpu0d
and put the open wires in cables.
