TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON
and Tfmre Seems but One
Remedy.

Prom several investigations that
have been made by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis. it is estimated
that on an average about fifteen per
cent. of the prison population of the
country is afflicted with tuberculosis.
On this basis. out of the 10000 prison
ers housed in the penal institutions
Of the United States at any given
time. not less than 10000 are infected
with this disease. II the Philippine
islands and other insular possessions
were taken into consideration the
number would be much larger. Some
OF the prisons Of Pennsylvania. Kan
sas and Ohio show such shocking con-
ditions with reference to tuberculosis
that many wardens admit that these
places of detention are death traps.
Similar conditions could be found in
almost every state. and in the major
ity of cases the only sure remedy Is
the destruction of the old buildings
and the erection of new ones.

monarch In Europe, this King Peter OF
Servia-this man without friends or

Peter Karageorgevitch is an unhap-
Ply man because his occupation is
gone. All his life he has plotted and
intrigued to gain the Servian throne
The years he spent in his little villa
at Geneva were devoted to negotia-
tons with conspirators. Conspiracies
were meat and drink to him. He
thought of nothing but his cipher cor
respondence with the Karageorge par
ty in Belgrade and the clandesine
meetings with his supporters In Switz-
erland.
Having walked to the throne over
the bodies of an assassinated king and
queen, he has no further need for con
spiracies. His future Is fairly assured
1t would be a kindness to Peter Kara

TO ERECT CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE BUILDING

OAKLAND. April 26.-The chamber
of commerce directors discussed plans
this evening relating to the erection OF
a chamber of commerce building. It
was suggested that the building be
erected on one of two sites, the first
being a piece of land at the northeast
corner of Fourteenth and Harrison
streets 9Sx150 feet. the second being
that property situated between the AL
bany block and the postoffiuce building
in Broadway.
1t is probable that the new building
and site will be established on the unit
plan. This plan means that the capt.
tai stock of the corporation will be
subscribed 10 by citizens OF the city. p

anteed.

The experience of w. H. Hanson on
his recent tour from Saratoga Springs,
n. Y, to San Francisco, via New Or
leans, has resulted in a general clean
up of the Louisiana rowdies who infest
the swamp lands of that state.
Hanson, with his wife and son, was
held up by gang of these terrorists
popularity known as red necks.' near
Dutchtown, La The ruffians forbade
them the public highway and by their
insulting manner forced Hanson to GO
back He drove back to the nearest
town, picked up a deputy sheriff and
the entire party with drawn guns start
ed for the scene of the trouble. Han
son put his big 5000 H P. Stearns in
hlSh gear and drove straight at the
red necks." There was a moment OF
indecision and then the gang made for
cover without firing a shot.
Hanson Immediately made complaint
TO the authorities, with the result that
vigorous crusade has been started
against the rowdies by the state au-
thorities. Hanson's Stearns was the first
car to penetrate the swamps of Louis
lana and come through under its own
