Washington. May 3.-only two and
one-half per cent Of all tuberculosis
in New York city conss from infected
milk, butter or meat from bovine
sources. according TO the statement
made by DR.. William H. Park of that
city today before the Pathological
Section Of the National Association
for the Study ard Prevention Of Tub
erculosis, at its sixth annual meeting.
Moreover, said Da. Park, this small
percentage is found mainly in chill
dren. In other words pulmonary tub
erculosis among adults is contracted
solely from human beings, and Is not
the result of impure milk.
DR.. Park supported throughout his
paper the contention advanced by DR..
Robert Koch Of Berlin, the discoverer
Of the tuberculosis germ. when he
stood practically alone in declaring
that cattle did not transmit pulmonary
tuberculosis to human beings
The Significance Of these conclu-
sions, it was pointed out, will be to
direct all the energy of the campaign
against tuberculosis to combating the
spread Of this disease among human
beings, by preventing splitting, bad
housing, overwcrk and other condi-
tions bad for the health.
Educational Not Remedial.
A paper which caused considerable
discussion was read before the Socio-
logical Section by James Jenkins, Jr..
OF Brooklyn. Mr.. jenkins insisted that

Washington. May 3.-A new postal
savings bank bill was introduced in
the house today by Representative
Gardner (Rep. N. J.)
Mr.. Gardner's bill makes several
radical departures from the postal
savings bank measures as passed by
the senate. The new measure would
provide that postal savings banks
should be established only where the
board OF trustees should deem it de-
sirable: that national banks only
should be made repositories of postal
savings funds and should pay the gov
ernment two and one-half per cent
interest: that the government should
withdraw eighty-6ve per cent of the
total of these funds from the national
banks whenever they shall have ag-
sregatsd s2,0O0.00O. and that these
Withdrawals should be brought to
Washington and invested in govern
ment bonds or other national securi-
ties under the direction of the board
OF trustees.
The board of trustees. as In the sem
ate bill. would consist of the postmas-
ter general, the secretary of the treas
ury and the attorney general.
Mr.. Gardner is member of the
house committee ON postotfices and
postroads. which has the senate pos
tai savings bill under consideration.
He is also chairman Of the subcom-
mittee of that committee which recent
ly reported without being able to reach
an agreement on what kind of pos
tai savings bank bill to recommend.
Explaining his bill he said:
HT hovo infr0iuood tho only n,,ro
postal savings bank bill that is before
the house. The senate bill embraces
an Austrian idea and is a socialistic
scheme to some extent"
Mr. Gardner explained two systems
of postal savings. one gathering de-
posits from the people for the use of
the government and the other obtain
ing deposits to bs reloaned to the peo-

H. Against Paternalisn.
DR.. s. Adolphus Knopf Of New York
does not believe in the exhibition of
too much paternaNsm on the part Of
the state to the iRdigent consumptiye,
particularly If that paternalism be
manifest In the form of q treatment
which has not yet received from the
medical profession universal recogni-
ton as to its. efficacy. Neither does
he believe in shutting the door in the
face of a physician because he has
consumption himself or. has been
closely associated with consunlptives
He believes in justice to all consump-
tives, and presented his views in most
emphatic language before the clinic
al section Of the association in a
paper entitled "State Pthisiophilia and
State Phthisiophobia" incidentally
the legislature OF Nebraska and the
state board of medical examiners Of
Oklaoma were severely censured for
their attitude toward tuberculosis.
DR.. Knopf told how the legislature
Of Nebraska had passed q law at its
last session. which requires that in
digent cSnsunptives treated at the
expense of the several counties in
hospitals selected by the state board
of health, must receive treatment by
'lmmuntdaton. or vaccine therapy in
addition to open air and other sani-
tary methods"
DR.. Kuopf condemned a regulation
adopted about q year ago by the
state board of medical examiners of
Oklahoma. forbidding any physician
from securing license to practice in
that state who was sufferer from
consumption. or who had been in
close touch with case OF consump-
ton TOR three years previous to his
application. This he eharscterizesr as
state, phthisiophobia, an exaggerated
fear of the in contradis-
tinction to state pEihisiophilia, an ex-
cessive oyer4care for the tuberculosis
patient, as evidenced in Nebraska.
DR.. Knopf offered two resolutions
to be presented before tho association,
deploring the action Ut the OKLAHOMA
stata board Of medicai:examiners- aud
also Of the Nebraska legislature, the
latter. "as premature. unwise. and
tending to do injustice to-. the con-
sumptive poor" ~

New York, May 3.-Edward Payson
Weston yesterday brought to tri-
umphant end his ocean to ocean walk.
Cheered by thousands Of enthusiastic
New Workers he ascended the steps
of the city hall at $40 p. M. complet-
ing the transcontinental journey Of
3,483 miles in seventy-seven walking
miles, feat without parallel In the
annals of pedestrianism.
The grizzled athlete was welcomed
to his home city by Mayor Gaynor,
who presented him with purse of
$400 hurriedly raised by handful of
his admirers in the last hours Of his
spectacular walk. This and the ad-
miration and applause Of the thou
sands who have followed his tramp
since the day Of its inception at Los
Angeles on February 1 last, Is all the
reward that comes to the intrepid sep
tuagenarian after his two months and
more of trudging through heat and
cold across the continent.
In the last stages of his walk into
New York he was the object of an
ovation such az has rarely been ac-
corded to any individual short of a
victorious admiral or the colonel Of a
rough riders regiment. His line Of
march from Seventy-second street
down Broadway, which from curb to

intent upon keeping sight of the white
haired little man ambling along in his
peculiar jerky gait.
From Yonkers, where he had spent
Sunday, to the upper residential sec
ton of Manhattan, which he reached
at a time when most of the population
had departed for the day of work, his
progress was pathetically unspecta-
cular. Here and there small groups
paused to observe him curiously and

dams. The specific charge is con.
spfracy to defraud the government
In the exercise Of its function, when
court opened, many Of the $50 wit
nesses summoned by the government
from the various parts of the country
were present. These, 1t is charged in
the indictment. were the dummies who
were illegally recorded as having
claims to town lots and who assigned
quit-claims in favor of the defendants.
Haskells counsel in asking for a con-
tinuance declared the governments
documents to which the defense
claimed access repeatedly had been
shifted from Washington to Muskogee
so that the defendants were unable to
secure possession of them.

Haines resumed his testimony in the
Hyde murder trial today. He took
the stand dn hour before the court
adjourned last night and had given
the greater part Of his direct testi-
mony. it was believed, when the ses-

There was no larger amount in either
case, he testified.
Relative to his examination of the
viscera Of Chrisman Swope, the wit
ness said:
II took half Of the stomach con-
tents and testing it for strychnine,
found trace of this drug. A prelim-
mary test Of the stomach for cyanide
showed none Of this poison. Cola
borating with DR.. Vaughn, later, we
found. on preliminary test, what
appeared to be cyanide. None of the
drug was shown on q conclusive test,
however. Continuing my work alone,
located no cyanide"
Examination OF the capsules al
legged to have been thrown away by
DR.. Hyde and the stains on the en-
velope containing them, revealed
cyanide, said DR.. Haines. .f,
Strychnine and cyanide were also
found in the viscera Of Col. Thomas
