,nIt. the third National Apple show
mas formally opened at 10 o'clock this

commercial organizations were repre-
Sented by one or more delegates. 2. =.

much over At, 1000.
While the Independence league
shows a falling off, the socialists claim
that their vote in the state has doubled
and that the increace in Connecticut
vii! amount to $50 per cent.
From all parts of the country come
reports Of increased socialistic strength
and leaders believe their increases will
show an average of so per cent. The
election to congress Of Victor Berger
Of Milwaukee is hailed by socialists as
their croWning achievement. They were
still hoping today that Gaylord had
also won in Milwaukee, and that Bach
man, one Of the socialist congressional
candidates in Ohio, would defeat his
opponents.

hogs, what has he to say about the
prices
Mr. Armour said that if the far
mers would raise better hogs the pork
problem in this country would soon be
solved. Suppose, he argued, that
two pounds extra weight were put on
every hog sent to the markets. The
aggregate increase in weight would
be enormous.
If the farmers were to work har-
der for healthy hogs how much less
pork would be condemned by the Uni

PROF. KOCH DEAD
German Scientist, Famous Be-
cause of Discovery of Tu-
berculosis Bacilli.
AND THAT OF CHOLERA
Was Decorated by German and
Visited United States.

Baden Baden, March 2S.-Professor
Robert Koch, the famous bacteriolo-
gist, died here yesterday afternoon
from a disease of the heart. He was
born at Klausthal, Hanover. Dec. IL,
1S43
Professor Koch became distinguish
ed as an investigator of micro-organ-
isms, but probably gained more re-
nown as the discoverer of the baci1ii
of tuberculosis and cholera. He was
graduated in 1866 from the Univer-
sity of Goettingen, and while a practi-
ticner at Wollstein began his re-
searches in bacteriology. His first
writings, covering Investigations of
anthrax and the aetiology of traumatic
infective diseases, marked an epoch
in medicine and placed bacteriology
on a scientific basis.
Found BaciIII.
It was in 1882 that Professor Koch
first announced his discovery of the
bacilli of tuberculosis.
In 1890 came the announcement at
the international medical congress by
the professor of the separation from
cultures of the tubercle bacillus of a
substance called by him tuberculin-
the so-called Koch lymph-which has
a specific influence on the tuberculosis
processes.
studies Cholera in India.
In 1883 Professor Koch was made a
privy councillor and was sent by the
German government to India and
Egypt to study cholera and discovered
the comma bacillus, the presence of
which is regarded as an infaliible test
in diagnosing AsiaCic cholera.
Professor Koch received decorations
from the German and French govern
nents for his discoveries. He visited
the United States in 1903 and attended
the international tuberculosis confer
ence in Philadelphia.
In 1891 the Institute of Infectious
Diseases. with an attached hospital
containing $50 beds, was established
by the government, and Professor
Koch was appointed director. This in
stitute is one of the four or five great
institutions which have been estab-
lished. in recent years, in Europe for
research work in medicine.

for the presidents travelling expenses
and making the $25,000 appropriation
for the ensuing year Immediately
available. What particularly aroused
the president was the assertion that
he had been charged for his board"
somewhere in the south while making
his big swing around the circle and
the reflection on the hospitality of
those who have pressed him with in
vitations to visit their section and
were now Kicking" against the ap-
preparation to defray the cost of those
visits.
Wrote Warm Letter.
Forthwith the president wrote a let
ter of regret and general disapproba-
tion to Chairman Tawney, at the end
of which he announced his intention
of making the communication public.
In the meantime Mr.. Tawney had
been summoned to the White house,
where he explained that the reflection
on southern members-as the board
having been charged-was injected as
a facetious bit of by-play by Mr.. Hamer
of Idaho. He told the president he
was sorry to had not read the Con-
gressional Record instead of the news
papers.
Not Tawney's Fault.
Subsequently, while adhering to
what he had written in the letter, the
president declared to callers that Mr..
Tawney was not at fault, as the record
did not support the statements made.
The president exceedingly regrets the
whole affair, and while sticking up for
Mr.. Tawney, wishes he had been a
little less spirited.
