COMPROMISE
SUGGESTED ON
THE EXPOSITION
SAN FRANCISCO TO BE GIVEN
THE CELEBRATION FOR CON-
PLETING PANAMA CANAL AND
NEW ORLEANS FOR LAKE 10
GULF WATERWAY IN 1918.
tuNIrnD pnssa lrAsuD wrnn.i

Washington, Dec. PA compro-
mise on the Pan-American exposition
soon may be considered when the
congress reconvenes after the holiday
recess. AS it is now being outlined
by Congressman net pledged to either
San Francisco or New Orleans, the
Golden Gate city will get the exposi-
tlon in 1915 TO commemorate the
opening of the Panama canal and
New Orleans will be allowed an expo
sition in 1918 to commemorate the
work on the lakes to the gulf desp
waterway.
1t is said this plan has been sub
mitted at the White House and that
1t has met with the approval Of the
president. Taft and those who havc
openly espoused the compromise
proposition are said to feel that no
event in which New Orleans Could
feel a deeper interest could be select
ed than the completion of, or az least
the pushing of actual work, on the
deepening of the Mississippi, and the
digging of the necessary canals to
make 1t an outlet from the Great
Lakes. An exposition to celebrate the
event would be in order, it is urged,
and New Orleans would be the pro-
per city in which to hold 1t. With
such a compromise, the Crescent City
should be urged to withdraw its
claim for the Panama exposition and
allow San Francisco to hold this cell
ebration.
An effort will be made to secure
the consent Of New Orleans to this
plan.

The result OF the elections at An

tention. which Is that women will
support prohibition Just so long as
they believe good results win follow.
but once let them become c nvinced
that only evil follows in the. wake OF
prohibition aud they will turn II

The agltator uses prohibition as a
means to livelihood and certain

break into office. SO long as their
ends are accomplished neither OF
these care how much evil may fiow
from prohibition. Women can be de-

CURED BY SNAKE VENOM
POISON FROM RATHER DRIVES
OUT TUBERCULOSIS
Rochester Druggist, Given Up by
Doctors, Treats Himself and
Receivers

ROCHESTER, July 22.-Henry Hoefen,
a prominent druggist Of this city, who
was in the last stages of tuberculosis a
year ago, and who has been treating
himself with crotalin, or rattlesnake
venom, has been pronounced cured by
the physician who told him two years
ago that he could not live. Last night
the same physician told him that there
were no indications of active tuberculosis
and that there were evidences that the
cavities in the lungs had healed.
Hoefen had suffered twenty-one severe
hemorrhages and was weak and emac1at-
ed He read the story of the expert
ments made by DR.. Thomas J. Mays OF
Philadelphia, and obtained some Of the
poison from "Rattlesnake Pete of this
city. He prepared the doses himself and
took one-fiftieth of a grain every four
hours internally. He started to take the
medicine Christmas, 1909. After taxing
one hundred doses he showed marked I'M
provement. Now his weight is above
normal, his cough has disappeared anu
his lungs are healed.
Dr. Milton Chapman. who examined
Hoefen two years ago and found lung
LESSONS and tubercular bacilli In great
numbers, said last night:
"Hoefens lungs are healed. his cure
is exceptional, as men who are SO far
gone as he was seldom or never recover.
His use of the venom produced such re-
markable results that it Justif1es Its use
in other cases. Rochester physicians
will undoubtedly use the venom for
many tuberculous patients. now that ats
trial en- Hoefen has proved its efficacy.
A number of Rochester physicians here
and in the Adirondacks are taking the
poison with good results.

SUGAR DISEASE BREEDER.
Hoboken Physician Declares Modern
Product Has Degenerating Effect.

ASBURY PARK. N J., July 81
Sugar is making of the human race
degenerate people,, declared DR..
Robert Roessler. a Hoboken physician
to 900 dentists In attendance at the
fortieth annual convention Of the New
Jersey State Dental Society here last
night
Modern manufacturing OF sugar has
brought about entirely new diseases,
and most of these have been caused by
the daily use of sugar. The sugar Of
commerce is nothing else but concen-
trated crystallized acid. II in former
times sugar was SO costly that only the
wealthy could afford to use 1t. 1t was
from the national economic standpoint
of no consequence. But today. when.
because OF its low cost. sugar has
caused degeneration OF people, 1t is
time to insist upon a general enlighten-
ment.
THE loss of energy through the con-
sumption OF sugar in the last century
and the first decade OF this century
can never be made good, as 1t has left
its marks on the race. Alcohol has been
used for thousands Of years. and has
never caused the degeneration of
whole race, Alcohol does not contain

WRONG MAN CONVICTED
FARMER PUNISHED FOR CRIME
HE DID NOT COMMIT.
Rag Picker Confesses to Murder Of
Children Whose Father Dies
in Prison.

TOURS, France, July 22-A rag
picker named Joseph has confessed to
the assassination April 21. 1901. of five
children of a farmer named Briere in
the vicinity of Charities. The father of
the children was found guilty of the
murders and sentenced to life impris-
onment He died in prison.
The trial of Briere attracted the at
tention of the whole of France. Four
of his daughters, aged respectively
fourteen, eleven, five and four, and his
son, seven years of age, were found in
bed one morning stabbed and beaten
to death. The farmer was arrested
and charged by the police with the
crime.
According to theory advanced by
the police to prove motive for the
crime, Briere, who owned a small farm
woman of considerable wealth. Clrcum-
stantial evidence led to the conviction
that the farmer considering his family
an incumbrance, murdered his i've chill
dren in order to carry out his WISHES.
Declared His Innocence.
Briere stoutly maintained his innocence
throughout the trial and declared that
two tramps entered the house during his
absence and killed the children. He
added that he returned while the muir
derers were robbing the place, and that
they attacked him and left him for dead.
During the trial the judge got down from
the bench and gave loud expression to
his opinion of the guilt of the prisoner,
while the spectators shouted, xiii
him, kill him.
A specific incident of the trial occurred
when Briere's surviving daughter. who,
the police declared, only escaped the fate
of the other children by not responding
to BriereS invitation to go to see him,
went on the witness stand and sobbingly
protested that her father was innocent
and begged the court to restore MIN to
her.
