JURY BLAMES VICTIMS
FATHER LOSES HIS SUIT AGAINST
WATER POWER COMPANY.
Young Folks Were Swept to Death
When Launch Got Into Dam
Sluice Current.

GRAND RAPIDS, Wis, May 3d.
Especial. death came to four young
persons through their own contributory
negligence, according to the jury in the
Fors case which returned a verdict late
Sunday. The verdict is subject to the
courts decision and was returned after
"a weeks trial of the damage suit insti-
huted by the father Of one of the victims
of a drowning accident last year.
This case arose out of an accident
which occurred the night of May %,
1909, when a gasoline launch was driven
Through the sluice way in the Consoli-
dated Power company's dam in this city.
1.-THE party consisted of eight young peo-

landed at Long Island, where they had
a marshmallow roast, and started for
home at about 10 o'clock. The night was
very dark and windy, and they could not
was caught by the swift current In the
river near the dam, and before they
realized it they were carried through
the sluice way into the river below,
distance of twenty feet, where the boat
was dashed upon the rocks.
The cries of the young people for help
were heard all over the city, and imme
diately the fire alarm was sounded and
boats were sent out with parties of res
cuers, but on account of the rocks and
the darkness it seemed Impossible to get
to them in time The survivors were
finally reached at about midnight, nearly
an hour after the first cries were heard,
and four of them were found clinging to
the rocks; the others were swept down
the river. Their bodies were not re-
covered until several days later.
Misses Ruth BOgoger Nav Fors Bes-
sic Anderson, and Mr. Ralph Anderson
lost their lives. Miss Bogoger was in
stantly killed by striking the rocks.
Ralph Anderson was an expert swimmer
and had landed to a place of safety
when he learned that his sister was
missing. He plunged back into the river
to find her and lost his own life

BADEN BADEN, May 2S.-Prof
Robert Koch the famous bacteriologist
and discOverer of tuberculin, used in the
treatment TO tuberculosis, died here Fri
day afternoon from disease of the
heart. He was born at Klausthal, Han
over, December II, 1S43.
DR.. kOch's entire life was given to
palnstaklng and perseverlng but bold and
original research in medicine, particular
Iy IN the development and extension of
knowledge of the disease-bearing germs
and their behavior under all possible con-
dlt1ons affecting human health.
Dr. hoch's career as an Investigator
began after his graduation in 1866 from
the University of Gottingen. During the
fourteen years following, which he spent
as an humble practlcing physician in sew
eral small towns of eastern Prussia, he
was studying bacteriology, then a compar-
atlYely unknown science. AS early as
1876 he had isolated the bacillus of an
thrax-splenic fever, as it is sometimes
cailed-to which cattle and sheep are
subject and which sometimes attacks
man.
Preventive incubation against disease
by the use of serum or lymph is a
method one might say originated with
Dr. Koch. After his discoveries as to
the nature of the bacillus causing an
thrax Koch devoted himself to the study
or the tuberculosis germ and to the So
called comma" bacillus identified with
the cause of cholera.
1t was by the discovery and use of
ttuberculin (popularly known as "Koch's
lymphO that his fame became world
wide. This tuberculin, which he pre-
pared in 1891, he himself claimed to be
useful only in pulmonary tuberculosis,
conhnlng its use to the comparatively
early stages of the disease
DR.. Koch afterward held that tuber-
culosis in man is disease distinct from
tuberculosis in cattle and other lower
animals, and denied the possibility of the
transmission Of the disease from these
animals to man. The great majority of
the medical profession, however, holds
to the contrary view.
Later DR.. Koch devoted much study to
the sleeping sickness bacillus, residing in
the infested region of central Africa. He
discovered a palliative for the scourge.
DR.. Koch's work was recognized and
rewarded by the German government
and he held many official positions.

NO, WAUSAU ISN'T DRY.
Otherwise the Town Clock Would Strike
Is and Pink Zebras Would
Climb Poles.

WAUSAU, Wis, May 2S.-[Special]-
John Haefe, a butcher, said today that
while returning from Marathon Friday
with his team the horse stopped in the
middle of the road and trembled with
fear. Haefe jumped out to investigate
the cause and saw huge pine snake
coiled up in front of the horse and dart
ing forked tongue at him. He took
the wagon bit and struck the reptile
several times, which seemed to infuriate
the snake and it ,sprang at the man.
Haefe then started to run with the
snake after him. They ran for over 100
yards, the snake gaining all the time.
Haefe finally took a rock and crushed
the head of the snake. 1t measured over
seven feet in length and Haefe has the
skin to prove it. Haefe says it is the
most narrowing experience he ever had.

MRS. CLEVELAND HOME AGAIN.
Widow of Former President and Chill
dren Return from Europe.

NEW YORK, May 30.-Mrs Grover
Cleveland, looking much younger than
her As years, arrived Sunday by the
liner George Washington after a visit
Of eight months in Italy, Switzerland
and France. She brought home her
children, Esther, Marion, Richard Fol-
som and Francis Grover Cleveland,
who had been studying French at
Lausanne.
Mrs. Cleveland said the education of
her children would be completed in
America. The chief object of having
them taken to Lausanne was to give
them a knowledge of French in place
where practically nothing but French
Is spoken, so that they will be we'll
grounded in the language. which Mrs
Cleveland believes is going to be more
essential than now in commercial and
diplomatic usage.
The family will go to the Cleveland

CEASE TALKING; ACT.
This Is Daniel Guggenheim's Advice in
Discussing Situation Regard
ing Alaska.

NEW YORK, May 3O-On the eve
Of his departure for Europe Daniel
Guggenheim, active head of the Morgan
Guggenheim Alaskan syndicate, gave out
in the form of an interview what is
substantially the answer of the syndi-
Briefly told, he declares that the gov
eminent investigation has benefited Alas
ka by calling attention to it's immense
wealth. that the cOuntry's resources are
controlled by no one man or set of men
and offer immense opportunities, that so
far as railroads are concerned the gov
eminent should either build or permit
private capital to do so, and that per-
sistency in legislating against corpora
tons will end in driving them out of
business.
There has been a lot of talk" Mr.
Guggenheim said, ''about syndicate con-
troll of Alaska because the syndicate
happens to be building a road there. But
little in the way of railroad building
has been accomplished as yet. If the
people feel that the government should
build the railroads in Alaska the gov
eminent should go ahead and do it. Let
the legislators make up their minds
whether the government should build
the railroads or become a partner in
the development by demanding royalties,
Or whether the government should simply
throw open the doors to private cap
ital.
1.-THE thing to do is to stop talking and
act. To have large undeveloped guam
titles Of gold, silver, lead, copper, tin,
zinc. coal and oil, at our very door and
refuse to avail ourselves promptly of
this proffered wealth is to hold the
country back. Why should not this
take advantage of the Alaskan
opportunity"

CHAMP CLARK HOPEFUL
Minority Leader Believes That He Will
Be Elected Speaker of the House in
Next Congress.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 3O.-"I
would rather be speaker for two years
than United States senator for eighteen
years." said Representative Champ
Clark of Missouri, the Democratic lead
er of the House today. "Of course, there
is nothing certain but death and taxes,
but the Democrats will control the next
House and sure as you are living, and
think I have a good show for the speak
ership."
In this way Mr.. Clark disposed of the
report that he would be a candidate for
the Senate to succeed Senator Warner,
Republican. Continuing, Mr.. Clark
said:
Mr.. Cannon will be the Republican
candidate for speaker next time It's
too early yet to predict the majorities.
The greatest majority the Democrats
have aver had in the House was 148 in
1890; the greatest the Republicans have
had was ia in the Fifty-ninth Congress
when Roosevelt was elected President"

EXAMINATION OF SUBMERGED
HULK SHOWS PLOT OF CON-
SPIRATORS.
THE VALVES ARE NOT OPENED.
Experts Believe Large Hole Will Be
Found in Port Side or Bottom
After Raising.
wREcKERs USING COMPRESSED AIR

MANILA, May 3O.-Further examina
ton of the United States drydock Dew
ey, which is partly submerged at Dion
gapo in Subig bay, has strengthened the
belief of those of the navy who have held
that the damage was done deliberately
by band of conspirators against the
government.
Valves Not Opened.
However, it is now learned that the
valves had not been opened as first de-
clared, though they were found to have
been leaking little. This leakage would
not have caused the trouble and the dock
sank more rapidly than would have been
the case had all the valves been opened
and no other opening made.
Accordingly the experts believe that
Il large hole will be found in the port
side or bottom of the deck. 1t is prob
able that the mystery will not be cleared
until the dock has been raised. How long
this will take cannot be said, but likely
it will be four or five weeks.
Wreck Is Settling.
The position of the dock was I'M
changed today except that the port side
containing the machinery was further
settled, being now imbedded in the mud
to a depth of - feet, making it's present
examination impossible. The starboard
is one-third dry and can be easily fioated.
The engineers will employ compressed
air when the wrecking equipment is
brought here from Cavite on Wednesday.

the stock shall be sold at public auc- ton. The net result of this law is that new stock issues are sold in many cases at far above their par values and bring into the treasury of the com pany practically the full amount for which the stock can be sold at public sale.
 | Should anyone undertake to go road companies in this country for the past fifteen years and attempt to fig ure out the amount of actual cash which would have ben saved to rail- road systems had they followed the Massachusetts method, it would doubt less be found that several billion dol lars more money would have come into the treasuries of the different rail- roads, with a consequent reduction of total capitalization in the shape of bonds and other securities of about the same amount. Under such a method a road like the Great North ern or the Illinois Central could, even on basis of lower freight rates than those of to-day, pay per cent. or z per cent. on its capital stock issue without any difficulty whatever
 And so it appears, in the opinion of this eminent authority, the cabitaliza- tion does bear a very direct relation to earnings. and that railroads, if re- stricted as under the fMassa chusetts law in the matter of capitalization, could pay fair dividends on lower freight rates.

ROOSEVELT GIN
THE LINIELIGHT." 7"

Ex-President Roosevelt is continu- ous1y .'in the 1irnelight." largely of his own volition. His dramatic instincts take him there. Possibly, he may have other motives than the professed ! ones for so constantly keeping himself
 before the public. His enemies with in his own party assert that he is playing for the Republican Presiden- tial nomination in 1912, and are quot ing in support of their assertion his re- cent statement at Atlanta, "By George, if I thought I could carry a single i southern statet, I would willingly run.
 He has lately joined issue with Pres ident Taft upon the question of re- claiming the great swamp areas of the Mississippi valley, which run into five states, Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana. He ad- vocated participation of the Federal government in this work of reclama- tion. In a speech at St. Paul, Presi- {. dent Taft had previously deprecated the extension of Federal aid to the drainage of swamp lands belonging to States or private owners; such enter prises, he said, should be conducted either by private capital or at the in- stance of the State.'' This issue be- tween the two men is too directly Joined to be misunderstood
 In New York, the World, Times, Herald, Sun and Evening Post are an- tagonizing the candidacy Of Mr. Stim- son for Governor because he is "Roose- ! velt's candidate They evidently be- Iieve that if Stinson is elected, it will be hailed as Roosevelt victory and assure the nomination of Roosevelt for President in 1912, and this is not an unreasonable conclusion.

Senator Bulkeley takes exception to the Courant's estimates of the stand ing as between him and Mclean of the Republican Legislative nominations thus far made. Reverse the figures '' he says, ''and then you have the real result He claims IS of the 25 non1in- ations for the Senate and a majority of the representative nominees. Evi- dently, either the Courant or the Sen ater errs, for their claims are diamet- rica1ly opposite It recalls the sirni- Iarly differing estimates in the Lake Goodwin contest. Is the parallel to continue, with either Bu1keley or Mo Lean leading up to the midnight pre- ceding the Republican legislative eau GUS and then enough unexplained changes to reverse the situation? Bmasculation of the corrupt practices act by the Republican legislature of 1909 has safely opened the ways for such changes.
