HARMON ANSWERS
BRYAN BY PROXY
Failure to IndOrse Candi-
date for Senate Explained.

Columbus. Ohio. May 2.-Gov. Harmon.
through W. B. Finlay chairman Of the
Democratic state executive committee.
and r Gently appointed state OIL inspec-
ter by Gov. Harmon. makes answer TO-
night 10 the attack made upon Gov.
Harmon by William J. Bryan in an edi-
torial in the Commoner. Harmon IS
taken TO task by Bryan for the future
of the Democratic State commit. for
the Endorsement OF a candidate for Unit
ed States Senator.
Gov. Harmon is opposed 10 the Idea.
but viii not come out squarely and say
so. The fact is that F-iuIay was present
at the meeting Of the State committee
which committed this sin OF omission to
which Bryan calls attention and he was
there on proxy. Harmon's suggestion 10
oppose the Endorsement proposition and
Bryan's attack on the governor have
created a sensation in Democratic cir
cles, and the governors friends have
been astr 10 measure the extent of the
damage done.
Mr.. Bryan's friends in Ohio are legion.
and this fact is causing Harmon's friends
no end OF worry Bryan's absolute con-
troll Of Democratic politics and policies
for fourteen years convinces the gov
ernors adherents that he will be a potent
factor in the coming national convention.
Finlay says that two experiences in
dorsing candidates resulted in bitter de-
feat for the Democrats OF Ohio on the
Senatorial proposition. Gov. Harmon IS
afraid Endorsement Of a Senatorial can
iidate would take away the incentive for
other ambitious Democrats 10 aid IN the
with voice. pen. or purse.
Bryan's attack on Harmon is inter
oreted as an indication Of Bryan's hos
.ility to Harmon as a Presidential can
iidate. This IS emphasized by the fact
that he raps Harmon and praises Gov
OF Indiana. who is HarmoD,s
most likely rival for the Presidential
nomination Marshall saw 20 II that q
candidate was indorsed bv the
Indiana State convention.

DR.. KOCH Is DEAD
OF HEART TROUBLE
DiscOverer of tuberculosis
Cure Dies at Baden Baden.
SIXTY-SEVEN YEARS OF AGE
Noted BacteriOIogIst Was Foremost
Among Contemporary Scientists.
Led War on Malaria and Conquered
African Sleeping SickneSs-Invent-
ed New Appliances.

Berlin. May 27.-Prof Koch. the noted
bacteriologist, died at Baden-Baden to-
day, where he was undergoing the cure.
He had been suffering from heart trou-
bic. He was IN his sixty-seventh year.
DR.. Robert Koch was without doubt the
foremost Of contemporary scientists in
the meteorological field. He was the
actual discoverer Of tuberculosis. He
led the war on malaria. He CONQUERED
the African sleeping sickness. That the
bacterial theory ever became more than
a hypothesis is due chiefly to him.
When he isolated the tubercle bacillus
IN lSs2 he had to invent new appliances
FOR microscop!cal work But when AZ
last with his new apparatus and his new
method Of staining 10 render the micro
organism visible he had shown that con-
sumption was due To a single speciac
germ, he had begun the battle which has
reduced tuberculosis from a scourge TO a
disease no more necessarily fatal than
half dozen others.
1t was the work Of DIT Koch which
made Of bacteriology a settled science.
All our knowledge OF inocuIatIon 70 ward
on disease came from his investigations
and the study they induced other sclent-
lists 10 make. Tuberculin was his finest
achievement
In November, 1890, Il became known a
oit prematurely that Koch had discov-
cred and tested by a series Of careful
experiments compound substance

sure cure for tuberculosis.
