able discussion was read by James
Jenkins of Brooklyn. Mr.. jenkins
insisted that the chief function of
local anti-tuberculosis association
was educational and not remedial.
The society must do its work by
means of exhibits, lectures, posters,
newspaper articles, he said, and in
many other ways. Another func-
ton of the association must be that
of giving inspiration and suggestion
to others. Mr.. Jenkins contended
that the tuberculosis Committee in
Brooklyn, of which he is the secre-
tary, had done its best work when it
secured the assistance of the city, pri-
yate hospitals and others in doing
work which the committee itself
could never undertake.
He recommended in raising funds
to secure a large number of small
donations rather than a few large
ones, and advised special collections
in churches and Sunday schools for
special kinds of work. In conclusion
he said:
''In some localities the situation is
such that a tuberculosis committee Is
really forced to do a certain amount
of relief work, but the responsibility
for this relief, even IL initiated by the
committee, should be placed as soon
as possible on the shoulders of some

Hyde Jury Sits Up When
the Sensational Matter
Comes to Their Ears

KANSAS CITY, May 3.-As a re-
suit of a hot clash between Prose-
cutor Conkling and Attorney Frank
p. Walsh, the jury that Is hearing the
Hyde murder trial today came into
possession of part of the story of
the grand jury notes In the case.
When the first trouble arose be-
tween the attorneys two weeks ago,
the jury was not in the room. Just
before the noon recess today in the
course of a legal argument. Mr..
Conkling made reference to the
-'stolen grand jury notes."
Springing to his feet, Mr.. Walsh
pounded the table with his fist and
shouted Who stole the notes?
They were lost through the blunder-
ing of the prosecutors Office"
They were stolen" responded Mr..
Conkling angrily.
II ask the court to reprimand the
prosecutor for that remark" said Mr..
Walsh TO Judge Latshaw.
The court has no comment to
make" said the Judge.
Who stole the notes." querled
Mr.. Walsh, again turning TO Mr..
Conkling. The jurors, who had fol-
lowed the tedious medical testimony
all morning. sat up in their chairs.
II can't say. but / know who re-
tanned them and refused to give them
up until the court threatened to send

YOakum Tells Farmers
They Have Much Power
Should Use ItFOr Public

ST. LOUIS, May 3.-Excessive
profit taking by middlemen was the
reason assigned for high prices of
foodstuffs by B. F. Yoakum, chair
man of the Frisco system, in an ad-
dress which he made this afternoon
before the National Convention of
the Farmers Educational and Co
operative Union, now in conference
In this city. He declared that the
heavy reductions in freight rates of
the past few years had been absorb
ed by the dealers and not shared In
by the farmers or consumers. Bet
ter marketing methods were ad-
vanced as a means by which farmers
would get better prices for the food
they raise and at the same time low
er figures would be given to those
who buy the stuff for use in the
kitchen. This railroad man described
the demagogic politician as a dis
tributing and expensive middle agent
and urged that he be cut out in the
dealings which the railroads and the
farmers should have with each 9TH
er.
THE most important force for the
welfare of the nation will come when
the land owners of America are or
ganized," said Mr.. Yoakum. This
organization is important not only for
the benefits which will come to the
farmers but on account of money
which will be saved by the consum-
ers. 1t is not prices received by farm
ers which make living expenses high,
but the profits of the dealers hand
dc 60
and consumer.
'The Florida farmer receives $2.25
for a bushel of green beans, the rail-
road gets SO cents for the 500 mile
haul to New York and the consumer
pays $640 for this same bushel of
beans. There is 35 per cent for the
grower, per cent for the carrier and
81 per cent for the dealer. This is
not fair division.
Thirty cents a dozen was the aver
age price of eggs in New York last
year, while the farmers of Arkansas
and Missouri received Is cents. The
freight was 2 cents a dozen. The
men who receive the eggs at freight
station in New York and deliver them
to the consumer take 13 cents doz-
en- profit.
THE rice farmer of Texas, Louis
lana and Arkansas gets 2 " cents
pound for the grain and the consumer
in New York pays 10 cents a pound
for this rice. The freight is one-half
cent a pound. If the rice farmer
were paid 31a cents lone cent more
than he Is now getting) and the deal
er took one cent profit (Which is 25
per cent? the New York consumer
would get 20 pounds of rice for a dol
lar instead of 10 pounds as now.
every member of every commun-
ity is interested In aiding the farmers
to organize a system of doing busi-
ness direct from the field to the table.
Effective organization cannot be had
by creating prejudices through poll
ticians who have no relief to offer.
The cotton growers are not organized
and they are losing money today.
The railroad takes $4.50 for hauling

but the speculator must have $3.50

HASKELL TRIAL OPENS.
Before Utah Judge, Hearing of Okla
homa Governor Is Now
Under Way.

TULSA, Okla. May 3.-The trial
of Governor Haskell of Oklahoma and
five business men of Muskogee In
the Greek Indian town lots cases
was called In the federal court here
today.
Governor Haskell asked for con-
tinuanee on the alleged ground that
access to government documents
bearing on the charge had been de-
MED him by the department of the
interior and by the Indian agency at
Muskogee.
THE government has used every
means to thwart us In arranging our
defense" asserted Oryille Smith,
counsel for Governor Haskell.
"At Muskogee we found the pa
pers had been spirited away by a
government detective. We were then
told to go to Washington. but when
we arrived there We were told the
department of the interior was too
busy with the Ballinger-Pinchot In
vestigation to attend to us. These
papers all pertain to the Muskogee
lot transaction and they are neces-
sary in the preparation of our case"
Argument on the motion for con-
tinuance was set for tomorrow by
Judge John A. Marshall OF Salt Lake
City, who is sitting in the cases.

PRESIDENT As HE APPEARS ON PRESENT tour
DISCUSSION BRINGS OUT
WHITE PLAGUE WAR IDEAS
Interesting Suggestions and Facts
Presented in AnnuoL Meeting

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Whether
tuberculosis is caused by milk or
meat infected from bovine sources.
and what may be the best employ
ment for tuberculosis victims, were
the chief subjects discussed today at
the session of the National Associa-
tion for the study and prevention of
the disease. The former topic was
started by DIR. William ii. Park. of
New York, and the latter by DR.. A.
NJ. Forster, of Louisville, Ky.
DR.. Park held that pulmonary tu-
bereulosis among adults was not the
result of impure milk or foods. His
paper was followed by a wide dis
cussion. DIR. S. Adolphus Knopf pre-
sented an interesting paper in the
clinical section.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Only two
and one half per cent of all tubercu-
losis in New York City comes from
infected milk. butter or meat from
bovine sources, according to state
ment of DIR. William II. Park of that
city in his address before the Path
illogical section of the National Asso-
citation for the Prevention of Tu-
berculosis today at Its sixth annual
meeting. Moreover, said DR.. Park.
this small percentage is found main
ly in children. In other words pull
monary tuberculosis among adults is
contracted solely from human beings,
and is not the result of impure milk
or foods.
DIR. Park supported throughout
his paper the contention advane-
ed by DR.. Robert Koch of Berlin, the
diseoverer of the tuberculosis germ,
when he stood practically alone in de-
claring that cattle did not transmit
pulmonary tuberculosis to human be-
ings.
The significance of these conclu-
sions, 1t was pointed out, Will be to
direct all the energy of the campaign
against tuberculosis to combating
the spread of this disease among hu-
man beings, by preventing splitting,
bad housing, overwork and other con-
ditions bad for the health.
