DR.. ROBERT KOCH
DIES SUDDENLY

Baden Baden, May 27-Prof. Robert
Koch, the famous bacteriologist, died
here this afternoon from a disease of
the heart He was born at Klausthal,
Hanover, December IL, 1s43.
Professor Koch became distinguished as
probably gained most renown as the dis
coverer of the bacilli of tuber-
culosis and cholera. He was graduated In
1866, from thss University OF Goettingen
and while a practitioner at Wollsten be-
gan his researches in bacteriological
fields. His first writings, covering inves-
legations of anthrax and the aetiology
of traumatic infective diseases, marked
an epoch in medicine and placed bac-
terlology on a scientific basis.
1t was in 1882 that Professor Koch first
announced his discovery of the bacilli
of tuberculosis. The following year he
was sent by the German government to
India and Egypt to study cholera and
discovered the comma bacillus, the pres
ence of which is regarded an ia
falible test In diagnosing Asiatic cholera.
1t was in 1890, at the meeting of the
International Medical congress that
Professor Koch announced the discovery
of a specific for tuberculosis. but while
mis- announcement created a sensation
the medical profession did not consider
it a fact, and subsequent experience did
not fully substantiate the claim of Koch
in this direction.
Professor Koch received decorations
from the German and French govern
ments for his discoveries He visited the
United States In 1908 and attended the
International Tuberculosis congress in
Philadelphia.

1t is expected the governor will renew
his appeals to the people for the enact

Starting with the most sensational
bribery trial in the legislative annals of
the state, and ending In red-hot fight
over the various direct primary meas
ures, the session which ended at noon to-
day was one of the most strenuous In
years. AS a net result Governor Hughes
failed to secure his pet direct nomination
scheme but has obtained favorable leg
islation on all his other important recon-
mendations.' These include the states re-

head of a band of southern baggage
thieves, bitterly fought against ex-
tradition to Virginia before County
Judge Cantine this afternoon. lie was

The court Immediately informed the

Upon this statement they contended he

ALL HOPE OF SAVING MEN IN
SUBMARINE is ABANDONED

Calais France, May 27.-The French
submarine Pluviose, which was struck
and sunk by the cross channel steamer
Pas de Calais yesterday, was again To-
Gated tonight after having been driven
from her mud moorings at the bottom of
the English channel today and carried
away by the swift lower currents To-
night various craft are moored above the
spot and are sending down divers in an
endeavor to fasten chains about the
wreck so that it may be raised to the
surface.
That the 27 officers and men of the
Pluviose all pcrished Is the belief of the
naval officers who are assisting in the
wrecking operations. There is an abund-
ance Of naphtha on the surface of the
water and this leads them to the belief
that the inner shell of the submarine was
shattered by the blow of the Pas de Ca
lais and that all the crew were suffo-
Gated.
The report that divers had heard rap
pings last night from the inside of the
Pluvose is now discredited

in the submarine had survived was all but

HOBSON SPEAKS TO
PRESBYTERIANS

Atlantic City, May 27-Commissioners
in attendance at the Presbyterian general
assembly demanded by resolution this
afternoon that official records be kept
hereafter of all examinations made of
candidates for the ministry by Presby-
terian bodies. 1t was explained that the
lack of verbatim records in the heresy
trial decided today had left the examining
commission with lack of real proof OF the
minority members of the New YORK pres
bytery that the ordained students, Steen,
Black and Fitch, had really expressed
heretical beliefs. The resolution was
passed by unanimous vote.
Representative Richmond Pearson Hob
son was the principal speaker tonight be-
tore popular meeting in the interests OF
temperance. which concluded the lst Oh
evening meetings on the steel pier. Every
effort will be made to finish the business
of the assembly tomorrow morning, when
a decision will be reached on the next
place of meeting. Chicago will probably
be selected.

POSTAL SAYINGS
BILL NOT READY

Washington. May N.-The republican
House caucus on the postal savings bank
bill adjourned at IL o'clock tonight until
next Wednesday night without having
completed the bill. Shortly after the eau
Gus convened it was decided to pass over
without action section OF the bill relat-
ing to the disposition of the postals saw
ings deposits. This section has been the
stumbling block In the way of caucus
agreement, but 1t 10 expected that
Wednesday it will be taken up and dis
posed of. The matter of disagreement is
on the question as to what percentage of
postal deposits shall remain in local
banks. All of the remaining sections of
the bill were read and accepted with but
slight amendment. The question of taxa
tion of deposits caused considerable dis
agreement and long debates, as did the
matter of the issuance of the United
States bonds in small denominations. 1t
was finally decided that the bonds should
be issued In denominat tions of $50 to
About hundred members were present.

Albany. N. Y, May 27.-Believing that
there should be further opportunity for
considering the Cobb compromise direct
nominations bill, which was defeated in
the assembly last night after hours of
weary filibuster. Governor Hughes today
called an extraordinary session of the leg
isalture to meet on Monday, June 20, at
$50 o'clock in the evening. The legisla-
tors had listened to farewell addresses,
cleared out their desks, packed their grips
and said goodbye when the news of their
recall flashed through the capitol.

WATERWAYS WORK
is BEING DELAYED

Washington May T.-(Special)- )-The
rivers and harbors bill is still in confer
ence and with little or no prospect of an
early agreement because eight or ten Sem
ate amendments are out of line with the
act of 1902, which requires a favorable re-
port from the board of army engineers.
The projects in controversy have either
been adversely reported upon or not re-
ported at all. Among the eight or ten
Senate amendments which are providing
stumbling blocks for the conferees of the
Senate and House, the ones that stand
out most strongly are the Green river In
Kentucky, Beaumont and Orange i'm
provements of the Neches and Sabine
rivers; Lake Contrary, on the Missouri
river near st. Joseph, and the harbor of
Arcadia In Michigan. Such items Chair
man Alexander and his colleagues on the
part of the House absolutely refused TO
accept.
If the engineers report is unfavorable,
the rivers and harbors committee refuses
to have anything to do with the project.
So, too, If the project has not been re-
ported upon by the engineers. All the
items in controversy in the present bill
are opposed by the House conferees for
the reason that the engineers have either
reported adversely or not reported at all.

MAGAZINE WRITER FILES
SUIT FOR $4,000 DAMAGES
AGAINST OSCAR LAWLER

Washington, May 27.-christopher R.
Connolly, a lawyer of Montana and New
York, and well-known writer for the
magazines. today filed suit in the Dis
trict of Columbia to recover $4,000 dam
ages for alleged slander from Oscar
Lawler as attorney general for the in
terror department. The suit is the first
of the threatened legal proceedings grow
ing out of the Ballinger-Pinchot inquiry.
1t was rumored around the court today
that Secretary Ballinger Is preparing to
invoke the law against some of his al
legged traducers.
The basis of the action is alleged to
have been given by Mr. Lawler May IL
before the Ballinger- -Pinchot joint inves-
tigating committee, wherein Mr.. Lawler
is alleged to have referred to Mr.. Con-
molly and others as "despicable scoun-
drels, who would stoop to any depths o.

degradation" He is further alleged to
have said that a man named Connolly
stood on the deck of the steamship Re
public just before she went down ana
trsmpled down women and children IN an
attempt to get to the lifeboat
When asked to Identify the Connolly
referred to. 1t is explained Mr.. Lawler
said: He is empoye OF Collier
Weekly, and is a tall. slender man with
a short gray moustache.'
This, Mr.. Connolly says. describes him.
Mr.. Lawler is further alleged to have
said he had considerable contempt for
the Connolly connected with Collier 5
Weekly anyway. and would not put him
above anything of that kind
Mr.. Connolly charges this connection OF
him with the person on board the Re-
public is false and that the accusato n
was maliciously made. Mr.. Connolly said
later that at the time of the loss of the
Republic he was In Los Angeles CAL,
many miles away from the scene of the
disa ster.

SAVANNAH MAN FOUND
GUILTY OF MURDER

Savannah, May 2s.-Guilty of the afro
cious murder of his wife, Mrs. Maggie
Hunter and aged Mrs. Eliza Gribble, and
her daughter, Mrs. Carrie Onlanoer' mere
last December, was the verdict returned
after midnight against j. c. Hunter In
Chatham superior court. With the court
room silence broken by the sound or the
voice of Judge Charlton. the sentence OF
death was pronounced and unless saved
by legal formalities the aged prisoner VIII
die on the gallows June 10. The verdict
came after the jury had been out 26 min
utes and was distinct surprise, both be-
cause many persons believed the solely
circumstantial evidence adduced by the
prosecution would leave reasonable
doubt in the minds of the jurors and be-
cause it was believed the jury would not
agree quickly upon verdict in any case.

abandoned early in the afternoon. Re-
ports made by the divers who under great
difficulty are attempting an examination
of the wreck indicate that the hull of the
submarine was crushed in the collision.
A fiotilla of torpedo boats and dredgers
with the force of divers worked vainly
throughout the night to raise the Inflated
war craft from her bed 100 feet below the
surface. Strong currents interfered great
ly with the operations and at noon today
little had been accomplished.
Admiral B. De La Payrere, minister of
marine, is on the scene, personal lily direct
ing the work.
The appearance of the snbmersible on
the surface for brief period following
the accident is attributed by navy ex-
perts to a desperate attempt of her com
mander to operate the flooding machin-
cry.
The channel steamer Pas De La Calais
sighted the periscope of the Pluviose some
70 feet ahead and backed. but too late to
avoid a collision. The lookout who first
saw the periscope said today that he had
never seen such an instrument before
and mistook 1t for a buoy. The report
that the Pluyiose was operating beneath
the channel steamer in furtherance of Its
practice in torpedolng passing vessels is
not generally credited
