Wisconsin Pays Heavy Toll
to tuberculosis as Shown
BY First Field Report
FAMILIES DEPEND ON CHARITY

tuberculosis cost Wisconsin $780,
zoe during 1909 according to the report
of survey made by the Wisconsin An.
Tuberculosis association and which
were made public today.
Complete tabulation and analysis of
results Of the survey, conducted in
March and April, have just been COM
pleted. They set forth as no other re-
port ever has in Wisconsin the extent
of the lavages of the disease.
Not only are cold statistics and sci
entifically gathered facts employed, but
the brief histories of 100 pitiful deaths
are recorded And in every instance it
is shown that death was due to ignor-
ance, carlessness, unsanitary conditions,
insufficient food and fresh air; and in
some cases to negligence, the criminal
ity of which did not rest with the VIC
tim, his family or friends.
The survey was the first of its kind
by trained sociology workers under the
direction Of Miss Kathrene Kedney,
field secretary of the association.
Information gathered by the field
workers was most complete. Wages,
cost of food, rents, housing conditions,
number sleeping in room, ventila-
ton, sanitary conditions, lack of pre-
cautionary measures, total income of
family and it's sources and many other
facts were gathered in each case. The
unadorned statistical tables in the re-
port contain heart interest stories.
For instance it is shown that sixty
three families in which the head of
the house is i'll are depending upon
gradually diminishing savings. Four
teen have an income of So to SIS per
month, seventeen get less than $50 and
dfty-four less than $55. Eighty-three
families receive less than $75 month,
the families running from two to
eleven members.
In this connection it is cited that
1920 per week per patient is the low
est possible cost, at wholesale prices,
at the Wales sanatorium of food ne
cassary for consumptives. In all of
the sixty three families depending upon
their savings. it was found that the pur-
chase Of necessary food would only has
ten the time when the family would be
dependent upon charity.
Figures reads the report "can-
not give an adequate idea of the cost
to the family and to society of the
situation, in which the younger mem
bers supply the income, which has been
decreased or stopped altogether by the
illness of the father or husband. But
these results must be reckoned with
sooner or later. And city must pay
the penalty of her gross neglect. She
must some day meet the problem of her
criminal and non-eficient men and wo-
men, who by their economic burden,
were deprived of their childhood
rights

New York, Nov 9.-Colonel Roose.
welt had nothing to say on the defeat
of Stimson In fact he would not be
interviewed by the newspaper men
who trooped to Sycamore Hill as soon
as the result was definitely known.
Kermit Roosevelt, who accompa.

cast his first vote earlier in the day,
acted as spokesman for the colonel.
my father hasAothing to say" said
Kermit automatically. What could

The vote in Roosevelt's own election
district, the Fifth, was a shock to the
colonel and his Oyster Bay admirers.
Dix carried the district by so votes, re-
ceiving 21s to Stimson's 15S. Taft got
q majority Of 125 in the district in

APPLICATION TO BE OPPOSED
District Attorney Baker Declares That
He Will Appear Personally Before
the Governor and Make Protest For
the County.

Charles Loescher, Kenosha county
man now serving sentence of ten
years In the state prison at Waupun
has made formal application TO Gov
ernor Davidson for pardon or for
the communication of his sentence to a
lighter punishment. The county Off
cials received notice of the application
for a pardon on Monday afternoon
from Attorney c. j. Richards of Racine
who is to appear on behalf of Loescher.
The Governor has already been advised
by the District Attorney that any
change in the sentence imposed upon
Loescher will be opposed by him and
N speaking of the matter on Monday
evening Mr.. Baker said: "You can rest
assured that the District Attorney will
not in any way consent to the pardon
ing of Loescher and what is more L
shall go to Madison and appear before
the Governor in person to urge that
no change be made in the sentence.
Loescher has been in the state prison
less than two years and he has in no
way paid q suitable penalty for the
crime of which he was convicted and
| feel certain that the people of Ken
osha county would be bitterly opposed
to his being released by the Governor. "a
Other court officials including Judge
Belden have been advised that the
hearing on the applicable will be TAX
en- up by Governor Davidson on Deem
Der 3rd and it is pretty certain that
strong letters will be sent to the Gov,
ernor urging him not to act favorably
on the application. Loescher has long
criminal record. The records Of the po-
lice courts of Kenosha county show
that he was mixed in a large number
of cases which had criminal side to
them and on account Of this record
the officials all declare that they will
oppose his being pardoned or his sent
ence reduced. Loescher was convicted
in April, 1909, ON a charge of making
criminal assault on well known
young woman of the city. The trial
was conducted by the late Judge Bra
zee Of Milwaukee county and he gave
Loescher sentence which was named
in the law for a lighter crime than the
one On which he was convicted at the
time declaring that he did not desire
to be unfair to Loescher. Judge Bra
zee has died since Loescher went to
prison and for this reason it is prob
able that Judge Belden will be asked
to act for the circuit court. Loescher
made hard fight for his liberty some
time ago and the appeal of the case
went to the AIpreme court but that
court held that there was no technical
ity by which Loescher could be releas-
ed and directed that the sentence i'm
posed by Judge Brace be carried ont,
Loescher has good prison record and
it is probable that the prison officials
will be willing to recommend his re-
lease on parole or even q full pardon
but it is pretty certain that the Gov
ernor will deny the application if a
strong showing against it is made by
the officials of this county.
