school was addressed by Dr. John L. Lewis
of Bethesda, and Rev. 7. j. Packard, OF
Rockville. on the nature cure and preven-
ton of tuberculosis. Mr.. Nelson, the prin-
cipal of the school, had prepared the chill
dren for the occasion and diagrams and
statistics illustrative of the subject to be
discussed had been placed upon the black
boards before the speakers arrived
DIR. Lewis pointed out the need of a pop
ular knowledge of the nature of this dis
ease in our county and of the methods that
should be adopted to check the further
spread of it. References to cases which
had come under his own care illustrated
some of the chief sources of danger and
were instructive and forceful DIR. Lewis
was followed by DIR. Packard, who made
brief address upon the work planned by
the Social Service League of Montgomery
county, Md, along the lines suggested by
DIR. Lewis.
This meeting was arranged by Mr.. Geo.
X. Rice, the vice-presdent of the League
in Sixth Election district, at the request of
the Jamestown WOman's Club. Mr.. Rice
presided over the meeting and introduced
the speakers.

of the League waited on the Board of
County School Commissioners and secured
the permission of that body to hold

the county. These meetings will be ad-
dressed by number of local physicians.

M'HARG WISHES TO
REPUDIATE STATEMENT
AGAINST ROOSEVELT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-When in
formed tonight that President Taft
had decided to accept his resignation,
Ormsby McHarg, assistant secretary
of commerce and labor, merely stated
it had been in the presidents hands
for some time.
Mr. McHarg vigorously denied the
references to Theodore Roosevelt at
tributed to him in an interview on
conservation in a local paper last
week. He appeared particularly anX-
ious to repudiate this statement print
ed under his name;
Maybe Roosevelt thought he was
the Lord. .He acted like it around
here for q great many years"
Mr. McHarg declared any state
ments he had made were not to be re-
garded as an expression from the pres
ent administration but merely as voic-
ing his own private views as a western
man. 1t was with considerable re-
luctance, he declared, that he accepted
his position, but had done so because
of his strong personal regard for Sec
retary Nagel
After entering on his work, he said,
he had told Secretary Nagel he would
retire in six months. October /, he said,
it was, and is, his intention to enter d
law partnership in New York

Occupants of Machine Are
Instantly Slain
LBy Associated Press. J

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 29.-Five persons
were killed by the collision Of their
automobile with Rock Island pas
senger train here today.
The dead, who We're residents of st.
Louis, are:
THEODORE F.. WITTE.
THEOpORE F. WITTE, JR, 3 years
MRS. KARL KLINGE.
MRS. HALCYON CAMPBELL.
FREDERICK o. WITTE.
The party had been at Creve Coeur
lake, a resort twelve miles west of the
city, and were speeding homeward
when killed. Unable to see the train or
to hear it's approach because of the
noise made by the motor in driving the
automobile up the embankment, Theo-
dore Witte steered directly in the path
of the locomotive, which was running
about forty miles an hour. The loco
motive struck the automobile squarely.
Mr. Witte and his brother Frederick
were tossed forty feet. The boys body
dropped in front of the train an eighth
of mile down the track, and the two
women, caught in the tonneau, were
crushed almost beyond recognition in
the wreckage, which was carried a
quarter of a mile beyond the scene OF
the accident.
Theodore Witte was the only member
of the party not instantly killed. He
survived long enough to be brought to
a hospital in ST. Louis, but died there
without regaining consciousness

The river has fallen considerably and
while st:n high the danger is over. Sew
enteen and a half inches of rain fell

rain wa. a steady downpOur and at no

The greatest loss of life occurred Sat
urday morning between and II o'clock

Many of the houses had from 100 TO 200
people on their roofs and all dsap-
peared In the flood.
In one school building ninety women
and children were drowned. They had
hurried to the school for safety but the
water drove them from room to room
until they were all clustered In one
room. While two priests were perform
ing some religious rites the walls fell
and all were swallowed up in the flood.

POSITIVE STATEMENT
Railway King Goes to Veranda of His
House at Arden, N. Y.-No
Alarming Symptoms Have
Developed
LBy Associated Press. ]

ARDEN, N. Y, Aug. 29.-"Mr Har-
Mrs. Hartman and all of us are very
happy over the steady improvement in
his health since he came to Arden
house. So far as 1 know this is the
first authorized statement by any men,
ber of the Hartman household, and
am most soliCitous. that 1t should be
printed precisely as I put it"
This statement was today made by
Rev. ]. Holmes McGuinness, E. H.
Harriman's personal chaplain, who
spoke conservatively and with author
ity after dining with the family today
and talking with Mr.. Hartman.
MY position in this matter is very
sharply Defined" said Rev. Mr.. Nc
Guinness.
IT am Mr. Harriman'S personal chap
lain. He took me UP as a mere boy
when ] was only Is years old-and
feel bound to him by ties of the deep
est gratitude. But L will make you a
concession. If you think an announce
ment as positive as l can give would
put an end to sensational rumors
would do what 1 can to help you, and
] speak as a Christian clergyman-all
that l can tell you is that Mr.. Harri-
man is better now, and we are all very
happy about it"
Mr.. Hartman did not leave his room
until afternoon, when he went on the
veranda. c. T. Ford, his superintend-
ent, said the word at the house was
that Mr.. Hartman had passed a good
night and developed no new alarming
symptoms.
Mrs. Hartman attended st. Johns
Episcopal church. She was questioned
after the service concerning her hus-
bands condition. but she replied:
THAT is a matter I cannot speak OF
outside of my family"
Her face showed plainly the strain
of the last few days.
Mr.. Hartman was not referred to in
the service, but the hymns chosen and
tie sermon bore a certain fitness to the
thought uppermost in the minds of
nearly every one in the congregation.
