DAYTON. Ohio. May 13-Only those
who had TO worked in Dayton today.
Most of the population just waited
waited for the train on -yhich the
Wright brothers were due TO arrive
home after their triumphant stay in
Europe Dayton has planned the great
est celebration in it's history, for the
aeronauts, who, with their sister, Kath-
crime Wright, left New York at 6:25 last
night over the Pennsy ivania.
When their train reached the city
limits, cannons stationed at Wolf creek
made the first noise OF the well
come Whistles Of the factories that
have made Dayton famous, then took
up the din. other cannons Joined at
intervals Of one minute, and for half
an hour there was a racket that ought
70 have left no doubt in the inventors
minds about the way they are regarded
in their city home.
Their aged father, Bishop Milton
Wright, was the first to greet them as
they. left the train, but after him came
hundreds of friends
Then everybody joined the process
sion through the principal streets to
the Wright home, on Hawthorne street.
School children lined the route Of the
march. and scattered flowers In the

IN MANY DIARIES
Fight on White Plague Making
No Headway, Paper
Asserts.

Washington dairles are again the OBJ
ject of a vigorous attack by Nathan
Straus, the New York merchant-philan-
thropist. who declares that his recent
Investigations into the milk supply here
disclosed that one out of every eighteen
samples was tuberculous and that one
out OF every ten dairies supplied tuber-
culous milk.
The statements made by Mr.. Straus.
who is one Of the leaders in the ma
tional campaign against the white
plague, were contained in a letter read
at the fifth annual meeting of the Ma
tional Association for the study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, which open
ed at the New Willard this morning.
Another startling ard unwelcome
statement by Mr.. Straus is that the
recent vigorous campaign against tuber-
culosis has so far failed to check the
ravages OF the disease. He backs up his
assertion by official statistics from the
New York health department, showing
an increase of 80 per cent in two years
In cases of tuberculosis in the city
which DR.. Koch. the famous German
scientist. described as leading the whole
world in the fight against the disease.
Mr.. Straus is a leading advocate of
pasteurization as the only sure method
Of freeing milk of the danger Of tuber-
culous infection In this it viii be re-
membered that at the international con-
gress sontubercuiosis, held Ia this city last
November. the New York philanthropist,
was antagonized by Dr. Koch, whose
contention is that the relation between
animal and human tubercle bacill is roo
indefinite to make the former a menace
to the human being.
