WANTS DIVIDENDS PAID.

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 26-Stock-
holders of the Westinghouse Elec-
trio and Manufacturing Company as
sembled in Pittsburg today to take
part in what promises to be the most
important annual meeting since Geo.
Westinghouse was ousted from the
presidency of the great corporation
several years ago. Dissatisfaction
with the present management is be-
lieved to have reached the point call
ing for decisive action. For months
the stockholders have been clamoring
for some return on their investment
but those in control have continued To
pass the dividend, Notwithstanding
that dividend has been earned and
the company's surplus has been stead
lily accumulating. Should the plans
of the dissatisfied stockholders end
successfully it is probable that Mr.
Westinghouse, who has been the rul-
ing genius of the company since its
inception, will be restored to his ole
position as the head of the corpora
ton.

'OST[OPATHS
CONFIDENT
American Osteopathic Association Is
sues Challenge to Medics

Western Press.
CHICAGO, July 26.-On a battle
field of 500 human beings the Ameri.
can Osteopathic association proposes
to contest its three chief opponents
in the medical world, to the death
The school which saves the most lives
shall be declared the victor.
The challenge was issued at the an
nual convention by the American Os-
teopathic association in the La Sale
hotel today. The challenged are the
American Medical association, the
American Institute of Homeopathic,
and the American Association of Ec-
lectic Medicine. Bellevue hospital of
New York or the Cook County hos
pital are suggested us the scene of
the contest.
The plan is to apportion 800 patti
ents equally among the four schools,
patients suffering from typhoid or
pneumonia preferred. The school
which has the most patients alive
when the last subject has been buried
cr discharged shall be awarded the
palm.
The osteopaths contend that they
are as competent to treat acute dis
eases, such as typhoid and pneumonia,
as members Of the other schools who
depend mainly upon medicines for
their cures.
Copies of the challenging resolution
will be presented to the national exec
utive committees of all three of the
challenged organizations. The score
of the contest is to be kept by the
hospital authorities and the victory
decided upon the basis of those who
live, those who die and the number of
days patients are in bed recovering
from the effects Of either the treat
ment or the disease. The patients are
not to be consulted about this test
and being charity patients can be de-
pended on as having nothing to say
about it.

CHICAGOjfll July Ex-Governor
Shafroth writes in recent letter to
the headquarters of the national ir-
rigation congress, that he has ap-
pointed an sdyis ry committee with
which the officers of the irrigation
congi css can Cooperate in making its
coming meeting here, Dec. 10 0, of

"Save the forests, store the floods,
reclaim the deserts, make homes on
the land" is the motto of the National
Irrigation congres and clearly sets
forth its objects. OF particular inter
est is the consideration the congress
will give at this session to reclama-
ton by drainage.
This year its sessions are held 81
multaneously with the United States
Land and Irrigation exposition and the
international Live Stock show. These
big events offer unusual opportunities
for communities to make known that
their advantages to hundreds of thou
sands of prospective farmers and set
tiers.
That interested states might make
the most of these opportunities the
suggestion was made that their gov
ernors appoint advisory committees.
1t is anticipated that similar com
mittees will be appointed by the gov
ernors of Idaho, Kansas, Montana,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah
and other states.

DENVER, July 23.-Mrs. Harriet
Jackson, while standing at the side
of tho Denver & Rio Grande tracks
watching u swiftly moving passenger
train pass, was drawn beneath the
train by suction from the cars and in
stantly killed this afternoon near
Greenland, forty-seven miles south Of

from his cab saw the woman fall un-
der the train and Immediately re-
verscd the brakes Of the engine. The
body of the woman was placed aboard

the things that have been mystery
to us, in our "unacclimated" condi-

pose that the suction Of air caused
by the trains running at the terrific
speed Of twelve miles per hour around
some of the curve has pulled the
