Mine Workers to a high pitch of ex-
element though he was not present
If he had not left the city, President
Lewis said, che probably would now"
for he "was secret agent of the coal
operators of Alabama"
Kill him." shouted a delegate.
There was laugh at this, but no
laugh when there were general cries
of Throw him QUIT" "He has va
moosed," said President Lewis.
w R. Farley, executive board men,
Der of Alabama, said that "the man
Rivers" attended last years conven-
ton as delegate and had with him a
deputy sheriff from Alabama, IAN Off
Ger that has no business in a miners
meeting.
Rivers was member of the local
union at Carbonate, Ala, before the
great strike in that state, Farley said,
and since had been at intervals in the

RAILROADS STUNG FOR MILLION
ILLINOIS CENTRAL AND THE CHI.
CAGO E. WESTERN LOSE.
After Examination Of Forty Wit.
nesses, Case Was Submitted
to Grand Jury.

Chicago, Jan. 22.-The Illinois Ger
trail railroad is fellow victim with
the Chicago and Western Indiana in
losses by real estate manipulation.
Where the Western Indiana is out
nearly $1,000,000, according to the bill
filed by it's new president, the Illinois
Central believes it has been done out
of 100000.
The same three men named in the
bill of the Western Indiana, Benjamin
Thomas, former president of that
road, John G. Fetzer and Charles r.
Kappes, are mentioned in connection
with the deals of the Central. In
fact, the two railroads lost together
through participation in joint pur-
chases.
The developments in the Western
Indiana case, after 40 witnesses had
been examined in State Attorney Way
mans Office, indicated that the whole
matter will be laid before the grand
jury and that the names of other real
estate men may become involved in
the scandal. One witness said some
of the deals under suspicion were
handled by real estate men other than
Fetzer and Kappes.

Fight Against Plague Goes On.

Although the survey of the past
years anti-tuberculosis work shows
that much has been done, the reports
from all parts of the country indicate
that this year the amount of money to
be expended, and the actual number
of patients that will be treated will be
more than double that of the past
year. For instance, special appropria-
tons have been made in the various
municipalities for next years anti
tuberculosis work, aggregating $685.
500. In addition to these appropria-
tons over $4,000,000 has been set
aside by the different state legisla.

culosis this year. Besides these sums,
