is GREAT DISCOVERY

DES MONIES, Jan. 14-It is possi-
BILE to immunize the human being from
tuberculosis. according to a state
ment made by Dr. A. e. Kepford, state
tuberculosis expert. He declares that
in an experiment now being made by
DIR. Webb of Colorado Springs. Colo.
that 1t has been found that by in
oculating children with the living
germs of the disease, taken from per-
sons who are suffering from tuberculo-
sis. that the children can be made
immune from the ravages of the dis
ease. 1t has precisely the same effect
that vaccination has in preventing
small pox While the experiment has
not been perfected, according to DR..
Kepford, it has advanced far enough
to indicate that the next generation
will be given tuberculosis vaccination
the same as the present generation
was given the smallpox vaccination
treatment.
The discovery is claimed by DR..
Kepford to be the greatest advance
ever made in the campaign now being
waged against tuberculosis. He CON
tends that this method of immunizing
the race is practically harmless and
causes no more sickness than does
the present vaccination. He Is watch
ing with keenest interest the develop
ment OF the experiment and will intro
duce it in Iowa II it proves as sue
cessful as now anticipated.

THE SPIRIT OF
CANCELLATION
Definite Attempt is Being Made in
Washington to Bring lnsurs-
ents and Regulars
Together.
PEACE MAY BE COMING
President Taft Is Said to be Satisfied
With the Way tho Olive Branch
es Arc Being Pro-
duced.

s WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-Following
Taft's advice to republicans in con-
gress to stop quarreling and get down
to the party legislative program as
quickly as possible, there was evil
dence of definite attempt to bring
the warning factions together, at least
upon temporary understanding The
spirit of conciliation is in the air.
Taft still considers all insurgents re-
publicans. Cannon announced that all
republicans will be invited to caucus
on the coming Ballinger-Pinc com
mittee next week and hoped that all
would attend
Hayes, one of tie leading insurg-
ents, made two trips to the white
house and announced that attempts
to adjust matters were under way.
Taft declared again his test of repub-
licanism would come when action is
taken upon the legislative recommend
ations he mnde in compliance with
the party platform. He said he had
not been Withholding patronage from
any republican senator or member on
account of votes agsinst Cannon,
against the rules of the house, or
against the tariff bill.
II, however. any insurgents carry
the fight against the speaker and rules
to the extent of opposing purely ad.
mdnistration and party measures, to
which the party is pledged, the presi-
dent would no longer regard them as
republicans, but as opponents of the
,,vfry ~ al fsay, "a
declares he is not justified in recog-
nizing any claims for patronage from
senators or representatives who would
use the very patronage given them as
ammunition against the party.
Taft is said to be satisfied with the
way matters are progressing and re-
ceived many assurances from most
of the so-called insurgents that they
will support the administration meas.
Gres
Cannon says a caucus will be held
next week 1t is understood it will
be made for contemplated recon.
ciliation between the insurgents and
regulars. How this may be brought
about was not apparent last night. A
majority of the insurgents are chary
of walking up to something that
might be loaded as one expressed
it. Cannon said every republican
should come 10 the caucus and take
pot luck on the result. Insurgents re-
iterate t at their desire in the Bal
linger- -Pinchot matter is the naming
of a fair committee, which will go to
the bottom of the whole business and
return an honest verdict The in
surgents are making no effort to
place any of their number upon this
committee.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-S. B. Chap
in & Company have been punished
and Daniel G. Reid, resigned as chair
man of the executive committee of
the Rock Island company, and now
out of the mess of rumors which crop
ped up since the recent sensational
rise and fall of Rock Island common
stock comes an apparently authentic
report that the control of the Rock
Island company is to. change and
Reid's influence will be eliminated.
Powerful foreign interests, headed
by F. S. Pearson, London banker
and owner of Mexican properties. and
with strong Canadian connections,
have recently acquired, in the open
market large blocks of Rock Island
common and preferred. The amount
is undisclosed, but probably repre-
sents about fifth of the whole.
The new commissioners. it is un-
derstood, are working in harmony
with Judge William ii. Moore, and
the First National Bank interests,
who with Reid. have in recent years
dominated the Rock Island properties.
Moore issued statement saying he
and Reid are working in perfect har.
mony, but he declined to discuss other
developments.
Some time ago Dr. Pearson attract
ed the attention of Wall street by the
organization of $40.O00,000 syndicate
which took over extensive Mexican
properties owned by Colonei William
G. Greene; also the completed Chihua-
hna and Pacific railroad company
This railroad, it is said, Pearson in
tends to extend not only TO the Pa
cific but northward to FL Paso. where
it would fit in with the Rock Island.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 14.-If Chief

Jones OF Washington lad read from

by Ballinger. In this letter, the sec-e-
tary charged that the pernicious
activity of certain officers OF the
forest service had been the source of
inspiration of the criticisms and rep.

practices, and requested that the for.

Urging That Congress Take up the
Conservation Project at Once
Without Waiting for End
Of Controversy.
WHAT HE RECOMMENDS
Mentions Water Power Sites Which
He Says Should be safe.Guarded
And not Allowed to be
GobbIed Up.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Urging
that congress proceed Immediately to
dispose of the Taft-Ballinger conser-
walton program without awaiting the
outcome of the Ballinger-Pinchot dis
pute, President Taft transmitted his
special message on the conservation
of natsral resources today. The
president recommends legislation pro-
viding for the conservation
of the public lands; the safeguarding
OF power sites along rivers in the pub
lie domain; validating of the with
drawal from entry made by the secre.
tary of the interior or under disputed
supervisory power" a de<ailed in
vestigation of public lands according
to their use; the disposition o. the ag.
ricultural and mineral resources of
the same portion of the public land
separately; the rapid completion of
the reclamation project now under
way and thirty million dollar bond
issue to finish and extend the project;
the extension Of the activities of the
forest service and the carrying out of
an extensive program of inland wa
terways Improvement.
All of these matters with tho excep.
tion of the forest and inland water
ways recommendation, the president
says have been embodied in d series
OF bills prepared by Secretary of the
Interior Ballinger. The bills are now
awaiting introduction in congress.
The message recommends that:
1t Is the duty of congress now. By
statute to validate the withdrawals
which have been made by the secre-
tary Of the interior temporarily and
withdraw land to meet conditions or
emergencies as they arise"
River Improvement.
On the improvement of inland wa
terways the president says:
"One of the projects is that of in
Producing dams in the Ohio river from
pittshnrg to Cairo. so az to maintain
depth of nine feet. Seven of these
dams have already been constructed,
six are under construction, while the
total required is fifty"
The president urges the rapid COM
pletion of this project.
OF the improvement of the upper
Mississippi from St. Paul to ST. Louis,
to constant depth of six feet and
from st. Louis to Cairo to depth of
eight feet and Of the Missouri from
Kansas City to st. Louis to depth of
six feet, he says these projects have
been pronounced practical by cornpe-
tent boards of army engineers and
urges the present congress to make
provision in the harbor and river bill
for continuing contracts to complete
these improvements.
