HEARD. ADDRESS
ON TUBERCULOSIS
House Members Adjourned to
Hear of Anti tuberculosis
Work

b Bismarck, N. D., Feb. Sat 4
o'clock Tuesday afternoon the house
OF representatives declared itself in
favor Of taking a recess until s
O'Clock for the purpose of listening to
several addresses in regard to the
work that 10 being done in North Da-
kota and that which might be accom-
pltshed in the state in combating the
while plague. The senate also adj
journed, and the house chambers
were filled with large number of
interested legislators, while many of
the citizens of Bismarck were also
present to listen to the remarks of
the speakers,
Speaker Hanley presided and intro
duced as the first speaker Dr.. v. H.
Stickney Of Dickinson, who has been
active in the anti-tuberculosis work
In the state. DR.. Stickney said in
part:
1T is only in recent years, COM
paratively speaking, that we, have
come into an accurate knowledge of
tuberculosis. A quarter of century
ago this was thought to be the most
hopeless Of all diseases with which
mankind had to contend. 1t was sup.
posed to be hereditary as we'll as in
durable. and nothing was known of
its communicability. Persons were
warned to avoid draughts, cold
weather and damp weather. and were
kept confined to houses. Nothing
was known either of the segregation
Of patients; but those afflicted with
tuberculosis were housed with the
we'll and the disease went on to its
grim f1nality.
I'm the. light of our present knowl-
edge we may be hopeful of treat
ment. We know that tuberculosis ie
not an hereditary disease; we know
that many cases may be cured, and
that in many more cases the disease

sensationalism with regard to death
tends to imprint false thoughts upon
the minds Of men,. There is no death:
all is life; all is freedom. protest
against the action Of my board"
Then the message which the clair
voyant delivered In vehement tone,
ceased momentarily, then It began
again:
II know not who is now voicing
my sentiments, but I wish my people
to take note Of what say. MY body
has been carefully watched, but they
are drawing far too much attention
to It. I'm still tied very closely to It.
That does not matter 90 much! what
l deplore 10 the effect which all this
concentration Of attention to my body
will have in. giving more power to
death. an idea which IL false. Let
them turn their thoughts rather to
my doctrine which IL TAUGHT In my
book"
Identity Not Positive.
As the message obviously purported
to come from Mrs. Eddy, ono Of the
sitters ventured to ask whether Mrs.
Eddy had changed her opinion on the
subject Of spiritualism aud informed
her that her communication was be-
ing received at q spiritualistic Sc
ance. The voice replied:
II am against ordinary spiritual
ism. I speak as strongly as ever
against thought forms which are to
be found at spiritualistic seances."
When asked to prove her identity
the voice replied:
II am myself. You cannot prove
that to mortal mind. The realm OF
personality and mortal mind is de.
fusion and snare. Farewell"
This. 30 far as know, is the first
time anyone purporting to be Mrs
Eddy has sent message to any cir
Gle In this country. None Of the sit
ters was a Christian Scientist. Every
one Of US would willingly have ex.
changed all alleged Views of Mrs
Eddy for one authentic proof Of her
identity. To my mind the message
is therefore unauthenticated and my
theory is that Mrs. Eddy's thoughts
were overheard rather than delibe-
erately transmitted.

may be arrested; we know it to be
q communicable disease, and know
how 1t is communicated; and we
know it is preventable and how to
prevent It."
DR.. Stickney then told of the his
tory Of the disease. and Of a physi-
clan who lived two thousand years
ago who described the disease and
told his patients to go up into the
mountains. He told of the advent of
the microscope, and Of the discovery
in 1882 by DR.. Koch of the bacillus
tuberculosis
"This was the first step in our
definite present day knowledge of
tuberculosis. At first the discovery
was not accepted by the medical fra
ternity, but after time they recog-
nized that an absolute and accurate
knowledge OF the disease was to be
had. But the new discovery brought
mankind no nearer to a cure"
The speaker then told Of the case
Of DR.. Edward L. Trudo Of New York,
a physician who in 1873 was pro-
nounced consumptive himself. He
was great lover of hunting and
AouAA6 anu OuC uVO1 l1lCS dl1u Wucu
told that he had only a few months
to live decided to wrest what pleas
ure he could out Of the short time al
lotted to him. He established a camp
at Saranac Lake, New York, tramped
through the woods, breathed the
fresh, pure air, ate only simple
wholesome food, and much to his
surprise found that he was gaining
in strength and weight. and was be-
coming cured of the disease. In the
winter of 1894 he built cabin in
which to spend the winter, despite
contrary advices from physicians, and
demonstrated to the world that a
cure could he effected. In time out
door treatment was adopted general
ly to cope with this disease.
The speaker also told of the new
social problems which have arisen
and Of the laws of restraint that
have been passed in some states.
These have had a salutary influence
upon the condition Of those having
tuberculosis throughout the country.
Their good has resulted principally
through the education of the masses,
as practically the only good the laws
do is to call the attention of the pub
lie to their provisions.
"In our own state little or nothing
has been done to check this growing
disease, and 1t goes on uninterrupted.

WAR ON MoRMoNs
Members Of Parliament Interested 1
Plan to Stop Work.


London, Feb. 8.-The crusade
against Mormons initiated by the in
ternational reform bureau at Wash
ington Is being actively pursued in
Great Britain.
Hans P. Freeze, the bureaus spe-
cial delegate, has arrived in London,
after 4 ten weeks tour in Scotland
and the north of England, during
which time he succeeded in locating
about 100 Mormon meeting places
and 1926 American Mormons engaged
In inducing young women to emigrate
to Utah. He also collected the signed
statements. Of parents whose daugh-
ters had been enticed to America,
and Is in possession of irrefutable
evidence, 1t is said, that the Mormon
church is In the habit Of paying for
the transportation of converts from
here to Utah in violation Of the Unit
ed States immigration law.
Mr.. Freeze is now endeavoring to
interest the archbishop Of Canterbury
in the cause. The bishop of Liver
pool and several members of parlia-
ment have already promised to sup
port the movement, and q great mass

week will address an executive COM
mittee of various organizations here,
and special committee will be ap-
pointed and wait upon Winston
Churchill, the home secretary, to sub
NIT to hi incomplete evidence Of the
work carried on in England by the
Mormons.
Mr.. Freeze entertains great hope Of
succeeding in getting a bill into par
lament prohibiting American Nor
mon elders from proselytizing In this
country-in fact, the same law as
that adopted by Prussia and Hungary
not long ago.
Although Mr.. Freeze declared his
mission to be unofficial, he said he
believed that should such law, cut
ting of British Mormon migration to
America, be passed, the Mormons
would lose the control of Utah and a
Democratic representative might be
expected to be sent to congress al
the next session.

FIFTY PERISH IN MINE FIRE
Imprisoned in Tunnel, Escape Being
Completely Rlockaded by Fire,
Smoke and the Generated Gases.

Scranton, Pa.-Without a moments
warning, fifty men and boys are be-
lieved to have persisted in a mine fire
in the Pancoast colliery at Throop,
three miles from here, on Friday.
Some estimates place the number at
sixty. Three bodies have been recov-
cred.
John Evans, head Of the United
States rescue car, died at 9 O'Clock
Friday night. A defective rescue he'll
met caused him to suffocate.
A majority of the missing men and
boys are foreigners, but two Ameri-
cans, Foreman Walter Knight and
Fire Boss Alfred Dave, r thought
to have persisted.
The fire started in an engine house
at the opening of a slope leading from
the Diamond vein $50 feet from the
surface. There were 400 men In the
mine, about sixty of them being at
work in a blind" tunnel at the end
of the slope. Escape was completely
blocked by fire, smoke and the gen.
Grated gases. The other men, scat
tered in different workings, got out by
various exits.

PARTIES ARE DIVIDED
LEADERS HAVE LITTLE HOPE OF
RESTORING MORE THAN SUR
FACE HARMONY AT PRESENT.
Storms Ahead in Extra Session oil
Congress, There Being Virtually
-Four Parties, Each With Large
Representation, Working Very
Much at Odds.

Washington.--It is daily becoming
manifest that congress is facing a
stormy session, and there can be no
forecast of the probabilities.
The fact that both of the great po-
litical parties are divided is no
longer denied, and the leaders appear
to have little hope of restoring more
than surface harmony.
There are virtually four parties,
each with a large representation,
working at odds, in the present SEES
sion. The Republican minority of the
house is divided between regulars and
insurgents, as was evidenced by the
vote on the speakership contest.
The breach between these two fac
tons Is eve wider in the Republican
majority of the senate.
A sharp line has been drawn be
tween the conservative Democrats of
the senate, who are opposed to any
attempt at dictation by William ].
Bryan, and the progressive Demo
Gratis. including practically all the new
members and several veterans like
Senator Stone of Missouri, who are
Bryan adherents. The house Demo-
cratic majority seems to have es-
capped a break, but the leaders fear
the party contest in the senate may
at any time spread to the other
branch. The situation has interfered
with the selection of committees and
the beginning Of legislative work.
Possibly there never has been a
congress where so much uncertainty
existed and where the uneasiness has
so equally distributed between
two major political parties. OF
course this is due in part to the fact
that in the present congress the DEM
ocrats are in power in the house and
the Republicans are in control of the
The real cause of the anxiety is be-
lieved to be the proximity of the
party conventions which will select
standard bearers for 1912, and the
that a slip by either in the
extraordinary session of the regular
session may determine the result Of
The next national campaign.

When the Iroqouis f%oundered, part

soon tore off the house, and the sea
was covered with wreckage, amid
which were men and women strug-

hich drifted ashore, many were
equipped with life belts.
