THOMAS M'NEAL, M. D.
Topeka Man Says Sanitation Will
Solve Medical Problem.

At the meeting of the Saturday
Night club T. A McNeal read a paper
en- 1.-THE Future of the Medical Pro-
fession," which proved to be one of
the most interesting dissertations that
has ever been presented.
Among the physicians who were
guests of the club We're DR.. R. S. Ma
gee, Dr. C. B. Van Horn, DR.. L. M.
Powell, DR.. H. w. Roby and DR.. H. l..
Alkire.
Mr. McNeaFs paper was full of wit
and wisdom and was another demon
stration of his versatility. Earlier in
the week he delivered a mastery talk
at Kansas City, Mo, on Kansas. Later
he discussed before telephone ex-
perts the relation of the volt to the
ampere, with such success that a vote
of thanks was rendered him; now he
should be given the doctors degree.
Mr.. McNeal plausibly argued that
sanitation will eventually solve the
health question and that when the
people practice proper hygienic meth
DDS in their daily life and observe
proper rules of sanitation there will
be an elimination of disease as one of
the customary evils of life and this of
course will in time do away with the
necessity for physicians.
agreed with the position taken and
conclusions reached by Mr.. -McNeal in
the discussion of the doctors future
and they said that in endeavoring to
obtain the adoption of sanitation and
hygiene by the general public the
members of the medical profession are
really working, in a noble way, to re-
move themselves as necessity in the
daily life of the people.

The Balloon America Which As.
cended From Pasadena
With Six Persons Last Saturday
Can't Be Located.
BLIZZARD is RAGING
In the Mountains and It Is Fear.
ed They Are Dead.
Only AerOnaut in Party Has
Record of Accidents,

Los Angeles, Cal, March 22.-No
word has come from the six men in
the balloon America 1t is feared
that they have been lost in the noun
tains in the midst of a terrific bliz-
zard now raging there.
The big balloon ascended from
Tournament park in Pasadena at 3
o'clock Saturday afternoon with Cap
tain A. E. Mueller and five other men
in the basket, and there is strong
probability that the men have per-
ished.
The last trace of the balloon was
when it disappeared through the
clouds in Grand Canyon on the slope
of Mount Lowe.
One of the worst billiards. in years
is raging in the mountains and it
would be impossible for the men to
make their way any distance. They
have only meager supply of provi-
sions and but little warm clothing.
Searching parties have gone out.
Besides Captain A. E. Mueller. the
pilot, the party in the balloon in
cludes: Lane C. Gillian, prominent
mining man, formerly of Walla Walla,
Wash, now of Pasadena.
Richard Halsted of Pasa dena.
Sydney Gray, Pasadena.
Harold Parker, Pasadena.
F.. c. Dodshutz, Pasadena.
Captain Mueller is the only exper-
fenced aeronaut in the party. In July
last year he participated in the Inter
national race in his Chicago balloon.
He descended in Lake Michigan and
was dragged for miles across the lake,
narrowly escaping with his life. Later
in October he made an ascension from
Columbus, O., and landed in Niagara
canyon, where he was dragged for
some distance, sustaining broken ribs
and other injuries.
Owing to the heavy load which the
America carried it is not though
possible that the balloon succeeded in
clearing the ranges of mountains and
gaining the Mojave desert to the
northward. 1t is more than likely
that Mueller tried to bring the bag to
earth somewhere in the mountains
early Sunday night.

Members of Senate Finance Com
mittee Keep Secret
Schedules Agreed Upon in Pro-
posed Tariff Bill.
CAN'T HAVE LOOK IN.
Democrats Will Not Be Consult
ed Until All Is Fixed.
Can Then Submit Minority Re-
port if They Desire.

Washington, March 22.-EmuIating
the ways and means committee of the
house. the Republican members of the
hnance committee of the senate will
take extraordinary precautions to pre-
vent the divulging of schedules agreed
upon for the new tariff bill until such
time as the bill has been perfected. In
the few sessions Of the committee that
have been held rates have not been
discussed at all The business has
been confined to questions of proceed
ure, such as agreeing upon the em-
pIoyment of certain experts in tariff
making to aid in preparing bill.
All of the Republican senators
have agreed that they will not dis
cuss rates outside of the committed
room. Following the usual custom
the Democratic member of the finance
committee will not be consulted until
the bill has been completed. They
VIII have an opportunity to examine IT.
however, before the measure is re-
ported to the senate, although this
courtesy has not been shown in the
past, and is contrary to the proceed
ure observed by the house committee
on ways and means in connection with
the Payne bill. The Republican mem
bers of the ways and means commit
tee completed their bill and it was in
troduced in the house before the Dem
ocratic members of the committee saw
II. Inc IlISC CIldnCe Iney ndd TO GN-
press themselves upon 1t occurred in
the committee after the bill had been
referred and that opportunity was ex-
tremely limited.
AIdrich's Plan.
The plan outlined by Senator Aid
rich and his Republican colleagues on
the finance committee is to take up
the bill and put il in shape and then
to call the full committee together.
The Democrats then would have the
unhampered chance of submitting a
same time the bill is reported. The
minority members of the committee
will not assume any responsibility for
the measure If the ordinary custom is
followed. 1t is likely, however. that
they will take UP the house tariff bill
and dissect it and build a party meas
ure which would become an important
part of the minority report.
Iu maintaining secrecy on rates to
be recommended by the finance com
mittee it has been decided not to in
corporate i'm the bill any figures until
the bill is completed. There will be
prepared tables, which will be kept
under cover in the committee rooms
and not taken therefrom by any
member of the committee. These ta-
bles will be in the custody of trusted
employees. AS a further means of pre-
venting disclosures concerning details
of the bill the question of rates will be
postponed until the phraseology of the
various principles to be Incorporated
in the measure has been agreed upon
In other words. the form of the bill
will be perfected before an effort ~
made to agree upon any of the several
schedules over which there is likely
to be conflict between the senate and
house.

OPENS IT.
Debate on the Tariff Bill Begun
by Republicans.
Chairman of Ways and Means
Makes a Statement.
BOON TO THE PEOPLE
He Calls the Existing Measure,
But Further Declares
The Time Has Come to Look for
More Revenue.

Washington, March ga gun in the
tariff debate was fired in the house to-
day by Mr.. Payne of New York. Be
fore he began his remarks an agree
ment was reached under which, while
the bill is under consideration the daily
sessions shall start at IL o'clock instead
of noon. In opening Mr.. Payne de-
clared that the country was over
whelmingly in favor of a protective
tariff 1T is an American policy he
said, 'and it seems to be acquiesced in
by the great majority of the American
people,
He did not believe he added, that
there was a man within the sound of
his voice who would rise in his seat
and say that he was in favor of the
tearing down of every custom house in
the United States from top to founda-
ton.
Mr.. Payne recited the conditions sur
rounding the enactment of the McKin-
ley, Wilson, Dingley and present tariff
measures. In the first case he said:
There was superabundance of re-
ceipts and we tried to get rid of some
of them by that bill"
A Boone to the People.
Mr.. Payne declared the DingIey bill
had proved to be a boone to the people
of the United States in proof of which
statement he cited the immense col
lect1ons of revenue and expenditures
under it as given in his recent report
on the bill. Those expenditures, he
said. included $5O,O0O.OO0 for the
Panama canal, for which no bonds
were issued. $50 that" he said, "the
entire surplus over the ordinary ex-
pendltures of the government have
been about 1925, 100000 during that
period" There had. however. been a
deficit for the period in the postoffice
receipts amounting to $99,144.479,
which he attributed largely to the
enormous expenditures on account of
the rural free delivery. Notwithstand-
ing such enormous drains, he said.
there was surplus of $25,000,000 of
ordinary receipts of all kinds over ex-
bad showing for a revenue bill which
was also protective measure" Dis
cuSSing maximum and minimum
tariff, as against the reciprocity pro-
visions of the Mckinley and Dingley
laws, Mr.. Payne said the minimum
tariff was on the basis of protective
rate while the maximum tariff was
much higher, even hundred per cent
increase in some instances over the
minimum.
Bound to Halt Business
No tariff, he declared. could be re-
vised without hating business. He
declared the revenues were not keep
ing up with the expenditures and that
the time had come to hunt for more
revenues. The bill, he said, had been
prepared with the greatest care as
the result of long hours of work and
fore the committee. He attributed the
loss of revenue to the. business dis
turbances of 1907 and 1908.
Mr.. Payne said there was hope that
during the first year of the bill there
would be no deficit but if the revenue
should fall short, Eve have in the
treasury $195, 100000 of available cash
to meet it.
