NEW CURE FOR CONSUMPTION
Clinic for Treatment to Be Opened in
New York City.

Clinic for Treatment to Be Opened in
New York City.
New York, Oct. 25.-A clinic for
the cure of tuberculosis by electric cur
rents of high potentiality and high
frequency" is to be opened within a
few days at the Throat and Lung hos
pital in East Twenty seventh street.
1t is the first clinic of the kind and ac-
cording to DR.. Frederick de Kraft, of
148 Seventieth street, who will be in
charge of it, may result in revolution
inzing treatment for tuberculosis, if
not establish positive cure for it.
1t is largely to DR.. De Kraft's sue
cess in the treatment of consumption
with what is known as the Oudin cleo
trio current that the establishment of
the clinic is due.
81 have not invented cure for con-
SUMPTION" said DR.. De Kraft, "but
have improved the methods of applica-
tion of the electric currents of high po-
tentiality and frequency and with 9TH
ers have established that consumptives,
even when in the advanced stages of
the disease, can be cured by electricity.
"There are possibilities in the use of
the Oudin, D'Arsonval and Tesla cur
rents that may stir the world. Just
what these possibilities are, l do not
care to say at present."

MALARIA RACES IN INDIA.
Death Rate Mounts High-Conference
to Be Held in SimIa.


Calcutta, Oct. 25.-An important
official conference will assemble at
Simla this month, charged with the
duty of examining the whole question
of malaria and drawing up a plan of
campaign for the consideration of the
government of India and the local gov
ernments. This special inquiry has
been instituted by the governor general
in council as the result of a proposal
put forward by the sanitary commits
sioner that permanent organization
should be formed to investigate syste-
matically the problem connected with
the disease. The official communique
on the subject points out that the num-
ber of deaths ascribed to fever through
out India approximates a, 800, 900, rep
resenting mean death rate of nearly
20 per 1000, and though this total is
greatly in excess of the actual figure,
owing to the general practice of ascrib-
ing to "fever" deaths which are in re-
ality due to other causes, yet it has been
estimated, from indications afforded by
certain special inquiries and by the dis
pensary returns, that the actual death
rate from malarial fever is about 5 per
1000. This represents about 1,13O,-
600 deaths, and as the mortality in
malarial fever is ordinarily low such a
death rate indicates terrible amount
OF sickness, much of it preventable.

Raise Apples With Name On.

Hood River-To supply one of New
York's cafes with Spitzenberg apples
with the cafes name on the apples,
Sears & Porter, one of Hood River Is
largest apple-growing firms, adopted a
new idea in this locality this year. A
paper label with the name and the fig.
ure of a bird, which is said to be a
martin, was pasted on the apples when
they were green. AS the fruit colored
the words were left on the apple in red
with the background green. About 400
apples were treated in this way, and
they will be shipped to Rae & Hatfield,
commission firm of New York. The
fruit will command an especially high
figure, as the labels were placed on se-
lected fruit.

LINN SHIPS MANY SHEEP.
Forty-six Carloads Go From Albany in
Three Months.

Albany-Though the Willamette val
ley has never been rated as a sheep
country, 46 carloads of sheep have been
shipped out of Albany in the past three
months. This figure is remarkable
when it is considered that practically
no sheep were exported from Linn
county two years ago.
The sheep industry has made most
rapid strides in the Willamette valley
in the past three or four years, the foot
hill ranches offering splendid place
for raising the animals. The wool out
put of the valley is yet insignificant,
compared with Eastern Oregon but the
number of sheep here is steadily in
creasing. AS matter of fact sheep
are produced here more for sale for
breeding purposes than for wool. In
view of this fact, the standard of the
stock raised in the valley is very high,
and growers are meeting with great
success in this field.

LovETT SUCCEEDS HARTMAN.
Man Chosen by Wizard" President
of Union Pacific.

=
of Union Pacific.
New York, Oct. 22.-All doubt as to
Edward H. Hartman successor was
set at rest today, when Robert s. Lovett
was elected president of the Union Pa.
cific road at the annual meeting of the
directors. In connection with his elec.
tion it was stated that he would soon
be elected president of the Southern
Pacific, of the Oregon Railroad & Navi-
cation company and of the Oregon
Short Line.
The sole difference in future con-
ditions, compared with past conditions,
will be that Mr.. Lovett will devote his
entire attention and energy to the Har-
riman lines proper. The annual report
shows that, iDasmuch as it discloses the
fact that the Union Pacific has sold its
stock holdings in several other railroads
for which Hartman was credited with
reaching out, it can be stated with GER
tainty that Mr.. Lovett was the man se
lected by Hartman to succeed himself,
and that he is highly acceptable to the
officials of all lines. The officials, in
ldcI, many Oh Cne rank ana hle who
knew Mr.. Lovett as humble attorney
in Texas, regard him with the keenest
affection and respect.
The other men mentioned for the Har-
riman places, among whom were Edwin
s. Hawley, Messrs. Kruttschnitt and
Stubbs, John D. Spoor, president of the
Chicago Union Stockyards company; L..
F. Loree and William Newman, were
never for moment considered by the
board. Messrs. Kruttschnitt and Stubbs
knew before Hartman died who would
succeed him, and neither ever aspired to
the position.
More even than Hartman, Mr.. Low
ett was familiar with the details of the
great system which the "Napoleon -
of the railway world had builded. Bet.
ter than any one else Mr.. Lovett knows
how to carry on and to perpetuate the
system which made Hartman the rail.
way king of his time.
Mr.. Lovett will also, as the meetings
of the directors take place, be elected
president of the steamship companies
and other corporations at the head of
which Hartman stood.

CONVICT CAMPS PROBED.
Some Good, Some Bad, Found by In.
vestigating Committee.

vestgating Committee.
Houston, Tex, Oct. 25.-According
to the testimony of convicts before the
senatorial committee on investigation
at the penitentiary farms and camps in
Texas, deplorable conditions prevail in
several camps, while in others the op-
posite is true. In one of the farms,
according to the evidence of those ques-
toned, not only is sanitation poor, but
those imprisoned are cruelty treated.
At the Ignite mine at Calvert, the
committee found most astounding con-
ditions, it is stated. According to the
testimony conditions on the farms have
been found poor for the greater part,
with ill-kept bunkhouses and no segfe-
cation of those i'll. Food has been
complained of. But many of the farms
have their redeeming features. Where
one poor condition obtains it is offset
by an improvement, so that in the
main, the weeks investigation found
much to commend.

French Aviator Sends Machine In

Breathless Crowd Implores Him in

Blackpool, Oct. 23.-The capabilities
of the aeroplane in the hands of a dar-
ing pilot were demonstrated today when
Hubert Latham, the French aviator,
gave an exhibition that first entertained
and then terrified the spectators.
In the monoplane Latham battled
against gale blowing 80 miles an
hour, and he twice circled the course.
AS the machine struggled in the teeth
of the gale it appeared at times to
stand still in the air. When, however,
Latham came about in the wind the
monoplane was driven at rate esti-
mated to be between 80 and 100 miles
an hour.
At one time he barely escaped being
carried out to sea, and the spectators
ceased to cheer and besought the
aviator to come down. When Latham
did alight he was not permitted to at
tempt further flight while the high
wind continued.

Wright May Fly Five Hundred Miles.

Paris, Oct. 23.-Orville Wright has
outlined his views on the subject of
mechanical flight.
There is not as much danger in fly
ing as there is in automobile racing.n
he said. "We now turn out motors that
will run regularly for a short time, 40
times out of so, and in 10 years, or five
years, or even two years, I think there
will be an aeroplane motor absolutely
reliable.
We will soon build machine for
speed, to be used with our present mo-
tor, to show what can be done. 1t will
go faster than any machine you have
seen over here"
How far can you fly in one of your
present machines9" he was asked.
In Berlin" he answered., "I took
up as passenger a man who weighed
225 pounds. I had rs pounds of gaso-
line on board. I could replace the
weight of the man with gasoline and
that would give me 800 pounds of fuel.
With that I could fly 500 miles.
Yes, any one who can run an auto
mobile can fly. 1t is not nearly as diff.
ficult or dangerous as automobile rae
