THINKS THAT CURE
FOR LEPRQSY ONLY
QUESTION OF time
General Health officer of Honolulu De-
cIares That With Bacillus Discov-
cry Cure Will Come.

New Orleans, Oct. 21.-Dr. ]. S.
Pratt, general health officer of the
Territorial Board of Health, of Homo
lulu, said Thursday at the st. Charles
Hotel that it was now only matter
Of time until a cure or preventative
would be found for leprosy.
This will be due to the discovery
of bacillus of leprosy by DR.. M. 7.
Clegg. The discovery had been made
before DR.. Pratt left Honolulu in Au-
gust, but the experiment work to dis
cover an anti-toXin has been taken up
since that time, so that DR.. Pratt, as
he said, is not familiar with what has
so far been accomplished. DR.. Currie
is carrying on the most important ex-
periments at the laboratory in Kalihi
with the bacillus discovered" Dr.
Pratt said, 'it is only matter of time
until an anti-toxin, or vaccine for lep-
rosy will be found"
DR.. Pratt said that there were now
about 700 lepers in the islands. A few
years ago, he added, the number was
1000. The decrease, he accounted for
by the segregation of lepers.
With regard to sanitary conditions,
DR.. Pratt said that much improvement
was being made, both in Honolulu and
the country On the sugar planta-
tions, where there are sometimes as
many as 1000 or 5000 employees, he
said that sanitary inspectors were now
employed by the plantation owners,
under the direction of the board of
health.

At last the anti-Tawney republi-
cans in the First district have found
a man in one Thomas Kelly of
Owatonna, who is willing to cross
swords with Tawney at the primaries.
The firm stand Congressman Taw-
ney, as chairman of the Appropria.
tons Committee, has taken against
the squandering of the nations
wealth in the increasing of our navy
out of all proportions to our
demands, the good work he has
been doing to keep the tax on
"Oleomargarine," and his bright
prospects of being the next speaker
of the House, are all hard nuts for
the opposition to crack, and Black
Jim's chances look brighter today
than they have since the opposition
year ago attempted to put him in
the background, on the Cannon
issue.

Northern Minnesota was represented

Realizing that partisan or personal
politics was dangerous, it was
guarded against at every turn, and
rigidly kept out of the speeches and
the resolutions. The meeting was
conducted with resourceful tact,
and its every move was wise and
judicious.
From it spread throughout North

was swept as clean as a floor and the

down the gulch. Chinook winds and
warm rains started the Burke snow

foot down the mountain until it gained
such Roadway and force that only a
binding mist and roaring warned the
score of families of miners Of its ap-

and twisted and cabins were ground
as If egg shells.

PARINC FOR

Organized Labor at Phila.
delphia to Quit Work.
ULTlMATUM TO COUNCILS

Union Leaders Demand Thorough Ar
bitration Of tho Street Car Trouble
and it the City Fathers Refuse to
Act Ninety Thousand Men in All
Branches of Industry Are Expected
to Go Out Saturday.
Philadelphia, March 1.-Representa-
tives from the Central Labor union
and from scores of union organiza-
tons in Philadelphia not affiliated
with the Central are preparing the
demands they will make Thursday
upon councils for thorough arbitra-
ton of the street car strike.
If councils refuse to act the union
men have settled upon Saturday,
March 5, as the day for calling gen.
eral strike of union men here.
They declare at least 10000 will
answer the call, practically tying up
business of all kinds.
Fearful that councils will refuse to
take hand in the matter the union
leaders are crowding strike headquar-
tiers and making active preparations
for the fight.
Sunday and Sunday night were
marked by scores of riots, which were
of serious proportions. It is estimated
by the various hospitals that at least
seventy-five persons were treated at
the various institutions for wounds
from bricks and policemen's clubs.
Two persons were killed by wild car
and several as direct result of the
strike, while two other persons were
fatally wounded, one boy being shot
by policeman and another having his
neck broken by brick.
Dynamite torpedoes, such as are
used on railroads, were exploded
twice, smashing countless windows.
The riots spread to sections of the
city hitherto peaceful and the state
and city police had their hands full all
day and night. " .~ -
All the riots resulted from stoning
of cars. In many cases the police re.
serves were called and battered the
heads of all in sight with their clubs.
Scores of shots were fired, though
usually over the heads of the strikers

Mace and Burke.
SIXTY PERSONS PERISH
Score Of Bodies Recovered and
Many Still Missing.
WARNINGS were DISREGARDED
Old Timers Had Faced Danger
on Numerous Occasions.

Spokane, Wash, March 1.-Sixty
lives have been lost, it is feared, in
two great snowslides which have
brought dismay to the mining towns
Of the rich Occur d'Alene district in
Northern Idaho. A snowslide swept
down the mountain, striking the little
town Of Mace, and burying twenty-five
houses and their sleeping occupants
in mass of snow and ice at the bot.
tom of the canyon.
Some hours later another slide
rushed down on the town of Burke,
crushing score of houses under thou.
sands of tons of earth and snow.
Fourteen bodies have been recovered
already from the ruins of Mace; six.
teen dead have been found at Burke
and how many are still buried can
only be guessed at.
Fifty or sixty dead is regarded as a
conservative estimate. There is fear
that the number killed at Burke may
be even larger than that, at Mace.
Every man who can be spared from
the rescue work at Mace has been ap.
pealed to. Doctors we're rushed from
Wallace on special trains.
From the foot of the Anchor mine
plant to the Catholic church, about
half q mile, the slide is thirty feet
deep.
Many Escape From Burke.
When the alarm spread through the
mining camp Of Burke that Mace had
been almost wiped out by landslide
mothers, wives and children of men
employed at the Hecla, Hercules and
Anchor mines and caretakers at the
old Tiger-Poorman shaft began to
seek places of safety. Families of
miners that had responded to appeals
from Mace were unable to move and
many have been buried in the snow.
Mothers hauled their children to the
side hills; brothers dragged little sis.
tiers to places of safety, and when the
slide struck many of the homes were
deserted by fear stricken women and
children, while the bread providers
were rescuing injured at the stricken
sister town.

ings to Mace, Burke and Black Bear
