Health officer A. H. Doty, of New York poohs at the claims of danger from infected paper money which were made by A. o. Morrison in the latest number of the Popular Science Monthly. Dr. Doty shows that employees in the Treas ury Department in Washington, who are constantly handling all kinds and conditions of bills, show no more evi- dence of infection from that service and are no more subject to infectious diseases than those in other departments where this supposed danger does not exist. We are glad the doctor has settled this mat ter. From this time on we shall have no fear of handling money, no matter how large the denomination nor how much of it. So bring it in. We won't finch.

Central New York tobacco growers are very blue over the fact that they are offered only 7, and cents pound for their 1909 tobacco crop, which they claim is of exceptional good quality. The old standard joke of using cabbage leaves for cigar wrappers falls flat if genuine tobacco is selling at these prices. But this low price does not in the least imply that the manufacturer will sell any cheaper or furnish better article. He will simply pocket the difference, and, instead of getting 8 cheaper or better product the deYotees of the weed may be thankful if they fare as we'll as they have formerly done, or are now doing.

Statisticians are having problem in figuring this out. If the United States imports $23, 900, 900 worth more of crude foodstuffs than they exported last year (as a government bulletin states) and prices still went up, how much higher would they go if the tariff on this class of imports were removed and the goods allowed to come Ill free, as some eco nomists desire?

He May be Temporary Chairman Of
New York State Republican
Convention and
Strike it.
HE HAS BEEN ASKED
It is Stated That Roosevelt Has Been
Offered the Job Of Starting
OFF The Cam
paisn.

OYSTER BAY, Aug. 15.-Fresh
from his conference with Taft at Bev-
erly, Lloyd Griscom. chairman Of the
New York central committee, arrived
here today. So anxious was he to get
in touch with Roosevelt that he did
not bake the trip by train, but came
by auto. He refused to reply when
asked if he carried a message from
Taft to the Colonel.
One Of the reasons for his visit was
to discuss with Roosevelt the question
of Roosevelt being chairman of the
republican state convention, the call
of which will be issued tomorrow and
delivering the keynote in his address.
Friends of Roosevelt believe that
Griscom was the bearer of request
that Roosevelt endorse the new atti-
tude of the administration toward Can.
non, Aldrich and Ballinger, and they
expressed the opinion that he will be
disappointed.

ADDED
TO The MURDER
Mrs. Charlton, Found in Lake Como,
is Now Indirectly Charged
With Being
Murderess.
TELL TALE PICTURES
She is Believed to be the Woman
Whom Eastman Charged With
Killing Mrs.
Woodill.

BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. 15.-The
Baltimore Sun today prints a sensa-
tional story linking the murder Of
Edith May Thompson Woodill near
st, Michaels in June 1909 with that
of Mary Scott Charlton at Lake
Como, Italy and suggesting the posi-
bility that Mrs. Charlton was the wo-
man referred to in the letter of lame
Bob Eastman as having killed Mrs.
Woodill by striking her on the head
with full campaign bottle
Many persons have believed that
Eastman was innocent and ended his
life rather than face a trial. When
Mrs. Castle shot VIM. B. Craig at the
Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York
the picture was widely published
and Talbot county people recognized
1t as the woman who was at the
Eastman party. Later the picture Of
Mrs. Charlton was recognized as
that Of the young woman accompany
ing Mrs. Eastman to the bungalow
1t is supposed that there were two
men besides Eastman at the bunga
low. The murder OF Mrs. Woodill was
one of the most sensational and mys
terious crimes in Amerire.

THE TOXIC FLOOD
CLAIMS 700 LIVES
Already That Number of People Have
Drowned and More Will
Follow

TOXIC, Aug 15.-The floods have
already claimed 700 lives and the
probability is that the total deaths will
run into the thousands. AS the re-
suit of the destitute condition Of the
sufferers, there is the greatest dan
ger of an epidemic sweeping the city,
as it is now certain that it will be
days before some of the submerged
sections can be cleaned and disinfect-
ed.
The police and other authorities are
making heroic efforts to distribute
food to the flood victims by means of
boats, but the service is wholly made
quate and thousands are not being
provided for. Even the well to do
people of the city are on short rations.
Conditions elsewhere are nearly as
bad as in Toxic Yokohama and Nag
asaki have been hard hit and the
deaths there will reach we'll into the
hundreds.

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE
DIED ON SUNDAY
Heroine Of the crimean War Lived
to be 81 Years Of Age
In Europe.

LONDON. August 15.-Florence
Nightingale. the heroine of the Cri-
mean war and the foundress of the
modern system of army field hospitals,

ed in nursing by the Protestant Sis

AVIATION rs
COSTLY TO PROMOTERS
Every Meet in Europe Has Been Fin
ancia Failure Except to
Aviators.

PARIS, Aug. 16.--Tfe failure OF
most aviation contests this summer
has proved great disappointment to
promoters After the tremendous sue
cess at Rheims last year hundreds OF
races were organized in every coun-
try in Europe, and even in Egypt.
Beginning with the winter contests
along the Riviera, the meetings have
continued week after week in almost
every large city in France. In almost
every case the results for the pro-
moters have been disastrous.
Even Rheims, with the prestige of
last year and a long series of broken
records, this summer was financial
failure. the loss totaling 100000. Those
identified with aviation place the
blame upon the spirit of commercial
ism with which aeroplaning is being
exploited.
Aero flights made such a vivid APP
peal to the imaginations that promot-
ers placed enormous purses and paid
fabulous sums to secure the presence
of the few French experts whose ex-
ploits had astonished the world. Men
like Paulhan, who fourteen months
ago had earned s25 month as me-
chanicians, suddenly began demand
ing and getting from $4,000 to $685.
coo.
Every pilot, whether experienced or
not wanted to excel his rival in sen
sational exploits in order to get more
money and that was the cause for
several of the fatal accidents which
have marred the meetings.
The impression In France is that
next year there will not be one con
test where there were thirty this
year. It is believed by experts. how
ever, that this will be an advantage
rather than 2 drawback. They tnink

fessionals and compel manufacturers
to devote themselves to the perfec.

TO PROTEST IOWA
PUBLIC OFFICERS
Bill in the Next Legislature to Make
Attempted Assassinations Of
Officials Punishable by
Death.
BLOW AT GOVERNMENT
Man Who Raises His Hand Against
Officer is One Who Hates
Law and Strikes at the
State.
Especial to The Gate city, I


Des Moines, Aug. 15.--That Iowa
should be better protected against as
sassination of public officials than un-
der the present law is view being
generally expressed throughout the
state since the attempted murder OF
Mayor Gaynor of New York City, and
Attorney John B. Sullivan, of Des
Moines, republican candidate for the
state senate this coming winter. is
considering the advisability Of intro
ducing in the legislature bill making
the attempt to murder public official
punishable by death or life imprison-
ment
Under the present law the maximum
penalty for assault with intent to COM
nit murder is an indeterminate SEN
tence for period not to exceed 30
years in the penitentiary. There is no
distinction In fixing the penalty for at
tempting to kill private citizen or
public official.
The bill being considered by Mr..
Sullivan would make the attempt to
kill public official more serious than
the attempt to kill private citizen,
because blow at public official is
one directed not only at the person,
but at the governmental organization
which he may serve Attempts to kill
public officials are generally prompted
/ by hatred for the law which such
public officials enforce and therefore
] it is urged that the man who raises
his hand against one holding a public
office strikes to kill, not only the man.
but society and organized law
| Mr.. Sullivan, rs member of the
house of representatives in the
last legislature, was chairman Of the
judiciary committee and prominent
! figure. In the senate this winter his
4 influence will probably be great, and
as championing this measure, is bound
to bring up serious consideration at
4 the hands Of the senate.

Confession.
THREW GIRL IN WELL
Mystery Of the Death Of 1s-Year-oId
Alma Wilmore In 1896 Has
at Last Been
Cleared.

VEST FRANKFORT, Ill, Aug. Isl
The veil OF mystery which for four
teen years has shrouded the cause OF
the death of Is year old Alma will
more In 1896 may be lifted with the
return to West Frankfort for trial OF
Riley Price, an Ohio convict.
While a prisoner in the Ohio peni-
tentiary in 1908 Price is said to have
confessed to the murder OF Miss Will
more, whose nude body was found in
a we'll on the McHenry farm. three
miles east of West Frankfort, in 1896.
On the basis of this reported confess
sion Price is being returned to stand
trial for brutal crime, which until
his reported confession in 1908 was
accepted as a suicide.
Soon after the time Price was said
to have made his confession an effort
was made to secure his release from
the penitentiary to be returned for
trial but the Ohio governor refused
to honor the requisition by the COVER
nor of Illinois. Prices term will ex-
pire August 16, and Sheriff Odum of
West Frankfort has gone to Colum-
bus to secure the prisoner.
Price, in a letter to States Attor-
ney George Hickman, is said to have
written fully of the crime and ex.
pressed a wish to return to Franklin
county for trial as he lis said to have
declared the murder has weighed
heavily upon his mind during the In
tervening years.
The death of Alma Willmore was
disclosed in 1898 when c. G.. Carr,
who was inspecting a field of corn on
the McHenry farm near West Frank
fort, was attracted to an abandoned
we'll by swarms of flies. Looking in
he discovered the nude body of q
woman lying face downward in the
mud. With much difficulty the body
was removed, and, although badly de-
composed. was identified as that of
Miss Willmore. An examination OF
the body revealed no indications OF
struggle or foul play so verdict
of suicide was returned by the cor
oner's jury. In his confession Price
is said to have stated he crushed the
girls skull with a piece of scantling,
