STRAUS URGES
WAR ON PHTH|SIS
IN NEW JERSEY
Writes to Trenton IndOrsing
Measure for Prevention
of Consumption.

TRENTON, April 3.-New Jersey is
credited with having less tuberculosis
among its cattle thar any other State
or country, except the Channel Islands,
in a letter written to Governor Fort by
Nathan Straus, the New York philan-
%thropist, who has been fighting tuber-
culosis for the past seventeen years,
and who has been the pioneer in this
country and abroad In preventing the
transmission of the disease from cows
to men by p~asteurizing milk.
Mr.. Straus writes to commend Sena-
tor Frelinghuysen's resolution for the
appointment of a commission to study
tuberculosis, and indorses Assembly
man Smiths bill for the control of the
human sources of the disease. He
writes:
but it seems to me that New Jersey is
now In a position to make a great for

losis and to lead all other States by TAX

Such a law would strike at one of the

practical measure of prevention. worth
more IN the saving of human lives than
all the other efforts conceived of to loosen
the grip of this disease upon humanity.
There would be little opposition in New
Jersey to such a law, for you have more

other territory in the world except the
There would be little opposition in New
to such a measure. for the fact has been
demonstrated that pasteurization (hreating

Mr.. Straus has for seventeen years
been demonstrating the possibility of
reducing the death rate by pasteuriza-
ton, by distributing p~asteurized milk
for the tenement babies of New York
city, supplying over 1000, 900 bottles last
year. Since he began his work. in 1892,
the death rate has been cut in half
among the children of New York. and

Hamilton w. Mabie's Views.
AS Hamilton Wright Mabie, the emil
nent editor, was leaving Trinity Epis-
copal Church yesterday. after address,
ing the MONDAY Lenten beeting, he
was interviewed by a STAR reporter in
regard to his views on the war on
tuberculosis.
while L have not made a special
study of the question, | can emphat-
icalIy state that anything that tends
toward the betterment of human living
conditions is an all-important work.
Instead of having SO many political
~squabbles, n an eternal wrangle
among its members over the rewards,
the city government would do well to
better sanitary conditions. This work
is ten times more important than the
great majority of the affairs tended to
by the political minions of a city gov
eminent.
CITY government is Just as much a
science as any other great administrs.
tive work. Pure food, clean water, pure
air, should be just as much a city gov
ernment's aim as a point gained in a
business way"
The local Board of Health is alive tc
the condition that confronts it. and has
signified its willingness to aid in the
work inaugurated by the Committee OF
One Hundred. As DR.. Farrand declared,
1t has been shown In other cities that
the work of reducing the death rate
from tuberculosis ultimately devolved
on the Board of Health, with commit
tees similar to the Committee of One
Hundred acting Us an auxiliary.
A. Frederick Collins, of Newark. a
writer on many scientific and psyche
logical subjects, and an enthusiastic
worker in the cause of health, says that
the dirt of Newark Is in a great meas
ure to blame for the prevalence of tu-
berculosis.
Under the title, "a Pound of Proven
ton Is Worth a Ton of Cure" he says:
1.-The opportunity for the application
of this thought is here. 1t can be tangi-
bly, demonstrated today in the city of
Newark. How? By cleaning and sweep
ing public buildings, corridors, side
walks and streets at night instead of in
the morning. Thousands of young men
and women, boys and girls traverse the
highways of Newark going to their
work, and at frequent points they are
obliged to walk through the flying dust
scattered by busy brooms. To prevent
splitting is well nigh impossible. 1t
could not be accomplished, even IL the
city were to provide a spittoon for every
square foot of space on each of it's
streets, because the spitters are care
less and selfish. Hawkers and spitters
make their deposits on the sidewalks
and everywhere else, and among them
are many afflicted with consumption"

NAPLES, April 3.-As the time of the
arrival here of Theodore Roosevelt ap-
proaches-he Is coming On board the
steamer Hamburg from New York and
is expected Monday m~orning-the in
terest and the excitement of the people
of Naples Increases. In the belief that
Mr.. Roosevelt would be here for the
better part of two days, all kinds of
arrangements were made for his enter
tainment, and the disappointment is
correspondingly great as it is realized
hat through delay to the Hamburg he
will have only a few hours here.
A magnificent apartment in one of
the best hotels has been prepared for
Mr.. RooSevelt's use. The rooms afford
a beautiful view of the Bay of Naples,
Mount Vesuvius and Capri, and it is
hoped that the distinguished traveller
will be able to make use of this apart
ment Tor at least a few hours.
The project of Naples has given or
ders that a special detachment of
spicked ca~rabineers be on duty at the
dock to protect Mr.. Roosevelt not only
from any possible assault, but also
from the opportunities of the popula-
ton. Both the Hamburg and the
steamer Admiral will be surrounded by
police boats, and 1t is deemed that
these precautions preclude any I'M
toward occurrence. Motorboats and au-
tomobiles have been put at the dis
posal of Mr.. Roosevelt for excursions
by sea inc land.
GIBRALTAR, April 3.-When asked
directly concerning the rumor that an
attack had been made upon him dur
ing the voyage Mr.. Roosevelt said that
the only basis for it was that an
''idiotic, excitable passenger" had used
angry expressions to him while he was
on the bridge of the vessel talking to
the captain.
Emperor William has instructed the
German consul here to board the
steamer Hamburg when she comes into
port to greet Mr.. Roosevelt and present
him with a message of greeting from
his majesty.
