PLANNING FIGHT
ON TUBERCULOSIS
PUBLIC MEETING CALLED FOR TO-
MORROW NIGHT AT CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE TO CONSIDER PLANS
TO FIGHT PLAGUE

A meeting has been called for tomor-
row night at which plans will be dis
cussed for minimizing the evil of tuber-
cuoss in Birmingham. The meeting will
be held in the rooms of the Jefferson
County Medical society in the Chamber
of Commerce building, and the public
generally is invited to be present.
| DR.. r. B. Hardness, city health officer
has sent out letters calling attention to
the meeting, in which he states that
% per cent of the deaths in Birmingham
between the ages of 20 and 40 are from
tuberculosis. 1t is hoped that a senti-
ment can be aroused in Birmingham
which will have the effect of reducing the
annual toll from tuberculosis. The letter
sent out by Dr. Hardness reads as fol-
lows:
Dear Sir: Birmingham has the repu-
tation of being progressive. While this
is true in most respects, it is a sad fact
that in some vital issues we are falling
sadly behind many enlightened commun-
tiles
when any sudden disaster has. befal-
len us, our citizens have always re-
sponded nobly and well. Every emer-
gency has been met IN way lndt mas
shed luster upon our reputation. She,ild
smallpox, yellow fever, bubonic plague
or any other uncommon disease makes
its appearance in our midst our citizens
would rise up and quel it. Yet, we
have a most deadly evil, a preventable
evil, stalking abroad in our midst, killing
more of our citizens than any other, and
yet no systematic, organized effort has
ever been made to stamp out tuber-
culosis This disease takes its heaviest
toll from the flower of our manhood and
womanhood. Twenty-Five per cent OF
the deaths occurring between the ages
of 20 and 40 are from tuberculosis.
few of the most public-spirited citizens
have been asked to come together mex
Tuesday night, May 81, to discuss plans
for organizing an anti-tuberculosis league
for Jefferson county. Won't you come?
You can perform no greater service 10
this community than to assist in stamp
ing out this prefentable disease. This
meeting will be held In Jefferson County
Medical Society hall, sixth floor, Cham
Der of Commerce building at 8 p. M
Yours truly r. B. HARNESS..

ON MURPHY'S TRAIL

New York, May 29.-(Special .)-Even
though William ]. Connors has to quit

Connors left the city for upstate, where
he is going to confer with the leaders
friendly to him to ascertain just how
much power he can gather. He intends
sounding the sentiment thoroughly, and
he will arrange the other to have his full
support at the meeting of the committee
az the Hoffman house next Thursday aft

the city
Mr.. Connors plans to upset the opposi-
tion that has been formed against him
by the Murphy democratic State league
wing While he had nothing to say to-
day on the prospective contest over the
selection of his successor, it is thought
that he does not mean to pass into po-
litical oblivion without making a fight
against ii. He will remain in Buffalo
until Tuesday night or Wednesday morn
ing and then will return to New York.
The state chairman has gained renewed
confidence in his own position by prom

Governor Marshall Elected on
Local Option Platform

der this condition it was felt that ward
and township options had been approved
by the people, and bill was introduced
to repeal the county option law. But t
wes defeated by very narrow major
ity. So county option is the law of In
diana, unless it shall be repealed BY
some legislature, as may be done at
any session.
The Anti-Saloon league, under who's
active guidance most of the county OPP
ton laws have been held, has now de-
clared for statewide prohibition, and will
seek an amendment to the state consti-
tuition to that end. The purpose of the
league In furthering county option was
unconcealed as being the best way to
lead up to state prohibition.
