New Orleans May IA resolution
offered at the closing session of the
Louisiana Bankers association today by
L. Fl. Dinkins of the Interstate bank of
this city, inviting the Bankers associa
tions of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Tennessee Mississippi, Alabama, Geor-
gia and Florida to meet in New Or
leans in May, 1910, for the purpose of
forming Southern Bankers associa-
tion was referred to the executive
council after a warm debate had en-
sued, feeling adverse to the movement
apparently prevailing among the men,
bers. Those opposing the resolution
contended that nearly all of the south
ern banks are now members of the
American Bankers association and the
organization of a southern association
would only serve to weaken ths united
strength notv poassssed. The meeting
of the Louisiana association was also
attended by several hundred bankers
from Texas, Mississippi and Alabama,
and a number of prominent fnanciers
from large northern and eastern cities.
Among those who addressed the con-
vention today was Arthur Kavanaugh.

Cannon Shakes Fist
In OSIer'S Face And
DetfeS old Age Theory

washington, May 14.-That tuberculosis
is no longer a problem of the doctors.
that it probably will take two or three
generations to reduce its ravages to the
rate at which typhoid fever has been
regulated, and that the public must be
awakened to greater sense of its re-
sponsibility in combating the disease was
the substance of an address by DR.. VIII
liam Osler the noted physician of Balti-
more, and Oxford, England before
public meeting today of the National As
soeiation for the Study and Prevention
of Tuberculosis Other distinguished
men who spoke were Ambassador James
Bryce and Speaker Cannon of the House
of Representatives, both of whom urged
the fostering of the idea of children's
Fairgrounds as a means of keeping them
In the open air as much as possible.
DR. Osler congratulated the association
things accomplished having been, he said,
the awakening of the public, the loosen
ing up of the money bags of the legis-
latures and of philanthropic associations,
and of the enlistment of men and women
who are thoroughly in earnest in the
campaign. He dwelt at length upon the
need of money to carry on the work, and
favored small subscriptions ranging from
81 to 10 cents. 1t was essential he de-
clared, that the citizens should get in the
habit of contributing for cause so great.
One of the most important problems in
dealing with the disease he said, was
in improving the social condition of the
poor.
Three things remained to be done, said
DR.. Osler. The first was to keep the
public awake, the second to obtain more
mones, and the third to arouse the inter
est of more men and women, because the
campaign was no longer one entirely for
the doctors
Whether tuberculosis will be finally
eradicated," he said, lis even an open
question. 1t is foe that is very deeply
entrenched in the human race. Very hard
it will be to eradicate completely, but

Boston, May 1.-the outlook for vis-
ible church unity was a topic which
greatly interested large audience to-
day at the Episcopal church congress
which concluded its sessions after num-
ber of eminent men had spoken. The
conclusion reached was that there can be
no visible church unity without a full
recognition of the validity of the priest
hood and the sacramental system. One
of the speakers expressed the opinion
that no help toward the desired end ean
be expected from the Roman Catholic
church until the idea of a primary at
Rome supplants that of the papaey.
Bishop William Crosswell Doane of AL
bany, N. Y, thought the possibility of
visible church unity is not likely to be
realized in this world.
The Episcopal church was arraigned
by the Rev. DR.. William F. Faber, D.
D., of Detroit, for what he classed as
lack of unity within it's own ranks
The office and work of the Holy Spirit
within and without the church WAS
discussed by Canon Hensen, the Rev. DR..

BANKERS ARE INVITED TO
FORM BIG ASSOCIATION

OF Government and the Banks He de-
clared that there was need of central
bank of issue, that might have jurlsdic-
tion over the currency system of the
country.
In concluding his address. Mr.. Kavan-
augh said
I'VE have quite recently passed
through a panic, and the business of
the country has not yet recovered from
its effects. Let us study this lesson.
Let admit, in the light of these les
sons that had we had In the fall of 1907
great quasi governmental bank of
issue. the crisis might have been
handled more effectually, much suffer
ing might have been averted and our
national self-respect would not have
suffered such a severe shock.
'Is IL not a fact that the infringing
of the banks upon the prerogatiVe of
the government and the lncursien Of
the government into tie bankers do-
main. while, probably, the circum-
stances considered necessary, and there
fore commendable acts were made nec-
essary by the narrowness of our poll
ticians in not long ago giving US a
scientific currency system. and the
shiftlessness, lack of study, and pro-
vincialism of our bankers, who have
for years taken but a languid interest
in the subject"

SmOIdering Fires OF
Revolution May Yet
Burst out In France

attended by 1000 strikers and delegates
from various workmens unions. The
strike leaders delivered highly inhamma-
tory speeches. in which they charged that
the police and military precautions taken
by the government proved that it was
intended Ito drown the strike movement
in blood" They favored q direct appeal
to the workmen's unions for cooperation
with them in their fight. and amid great
entl lsiasm the strikers voted unanimous
ly for an alliance with the workmen,
with all its consequences"
Immediately after the vote was taken,
NJ. Guerard pledged to the postal EN-
ployes the Immediate support Of his union.
He was followed by M. Passenaud of the
gasworkers' union, who announced that
his union would promptly take action on
the vote. M. Pataud of the electricians
union also promised that his associates
would give consideration to the question
of an alliance with the postmen. Ad-
dresses also were made by NJ. Thuillier,
secretary of the Syndicate of Unions. and
delegates from many other Organizations,
who declared that the workmen all were
ready to Join the strike 1t was declared
by the speakers that the moment had ar
rived for solid revolutionary movement,
under the direction of the General FEEDER
alton Of Labor.
The resolution as passed pledged that
the postal employees and the workmen's
organizations would unite for battle to
the death, '.in order to obtain liberty OF
thought and speech. and the right for all
employees of the state to form syndicates.'
The railroad and gas men met tonight,
but neither appeared disposed TO give I'M
mediate effect to the promises made by
their leaders to the strlckers today. The
gasmen ordered a referendum. but seemed
hostile to any idea of striking. The rail-
road employees postponed their decision
until a meeting which will be held Mon
daV.

NIGHT RIDERS ARE
SCRAPING BEDS

Paducah, KY, May 14.-Night riders
have commenced their depredations in
Crittenden county by scraping plant
beds.
The plant beds visited were those on
the farms of Charley Wiring, w. H.
Grimes, Henry Grimes, James Simpkins,
E. Howard, John Butler, Dave Brown
and A. M. Long, farmers residing four
mites east of Salem.
The beds were scraped and the can
vas covering then destroyed.
Bloodhounds were secured from Nor
garfield and took the trail, but failed
to run down the depredators.
The plants destroyed were ready to
set, and the farmers preparing ground
for that purpose. Their loss will be
heavy. These farmers have been regu-
lar tobacco raisers and have received
no night rider warnings so far as
known.
The affair is a mystery, as they have
not been involved in the tobacco war
in any manner. This is the first time
that particular community has been
visited by night riders

many places has been reduced more than

per cent, it is a battle of hope. and so
long as we are fighting with hope the
victory is in sight
Ambassador Bryce praised the men of
science, because, he said, they belonged TO
all the people They were more of link
and bond of union between peoples than
even men of letters, because he said.
there are some mn of letters who use
their pen, not for the purpose of pro-
noting friendship, but rather OF promot-
ing suspicion and distrust between differ
ent nations
He declared that no man of science ever
used his results for any such unworthy
purpose. There is no man of science"
he continued, who does not feel that his
service is to humanity and who does not
feel inspired by the thought that it is
for humanity that he is laboring."
He gave numerous statistics regard

the death rate had been enormously re-

ical officers of the United States in stamp
ing out yellow fever in Cuba, and char

Senator Cannon made characteristic
talk and aroused the audience to laugh
ter when turning to DR.. Osler he said:
''Dr. Osler, have reached the age of 81,
and shake my fist in your face"
DIR, Osler laughed heartily at this de-
fiance of his old age theory. Speaking
seriously, the speaker harkened back TO
the days of his childhood. when the sci

when the snow would drift through the

of New Haven, Conn. The Rev. Edward

THE congress was one of the most

in point OF attendance and in the quality
of papers and addresses. My views held
in one spirit rather one view held in
many spirits, as Philips Brooks once
said, is the only kind of unity that any

The Episcopal church showed that it
held many views in one spirit on every
subject that came up for discussion The
two most live subjects were gambling
and psychotherany.
''1'he issue was most sharply Joined in
in the discussion of psychotherany Dr.
Darlington of New York fatty declared
that such healing was no business of the
minister and DR.. McComb of Emmanuel
church declared that the doctors were
sending their patients to Emmanuel
church to be healed
"It was a unique feature of this con-
gress that the operations on the stock
exchange were put before the people of
the Episcopal church as largely benefi-
cient and orthodox, and that 1t was only
an exceedingly small part of the transac-
tions that were Illegal"

ALL IN AVIATION

Britain was about to take up experiments
with the Wright aeroplane met with par
tial confirmation today with the arrival
here Of Col James Templer aviation ex-
pert of the British army, who came to
America to visit the Wright brothers at
Dayton, o. While no statement was forth

visit he expressed the unofficial opinion
that the English will purchase or
more of the Wright machines.
The Wright brothers, he added. ARE
head and shoulders above all the other
aeroplanists of the world
Colonel Templer said the subject of avi-
alton was occupying the attention of mill
iary men abroad to a far greater degree
than in this country.
In Great Britain" he said I'VE are be-
ginning TO see that the aeroplane and the
balloon are likely to play an important
part in the warfare of the future, and
particularly in the case of an insular
country such as ours.
After visiting the Wrights at Dayton
the English officer will go to Fort Myer.
Va, to witness the airship tests there.
