States to study disease and its remedies
Under that bill the Federal government
would presume to study and investigate
the sovereign citizen. invade his home,
take charge of his family. and in general
trespass on all his inalienable rights.
Mr.. Slack created considerable merri-
ment when he declared it would be bet
ter to have the government buy bath
tubs and soap and make the people use
them than try to teach the people the
use of ipecac and quinine.
Col. Frederick A. Bangs. Of Chicago.
who also spoke for the National League
of Medical Freedom. said. in part:
One of the many potent objections to
this bill is that a particular school of
medicine is now In charge and full con-
troll of the medical activities OF this gov
eminent. and would of necessity be intrust.
ed with the enforcement of the provisions
of this bill. Then the investigation of
the narrowed limits of that particular
school. and such investigation and the
results thereby achieved would be colored
and distorted by the glasses worn by ad-
herentS to such a school. it's principles
and doctrines. Hence the world would
not be the gamer from such study and
investigation, but would be restricted,
hampered. and retarded in the acquisi-
ton of knowledge and the ultimate relief
from disease, and the expenditures
made for such study would be worse than
useless"
Other papers IN opposition to the meas
ure were presented by Dr. Lewis p
Crutcher, of Kansas City; c. W. Miller,
of Waverly, Iowa, and Porter F. Cope.

Percepti5le jar was suffered by the dead

Tuesday inaugurated the business of Sc

Young.
Tonight the legislative supporters Of
H. w. Byers, another of the Republican

vote, met with him to submit the ad-
visibility of his withdrawal, but poll
uciars are not concerned, for the reason
that the fourteen votes he has received

So notorious a scoundrel was Jonathan
Wild that he was given the nickname
of the "Machiavel Of Thieves set
thief to catch a thief gave to Wild the
opportunity that such as he could have
wished for 1t, opened up to him an op-
portunity to pilfer from the wealthy un-
der the cloak Of being their benefactor
He became so bold in his profession that
he advertised himself in the public prints
as Thief catcher General of Great Brit
ain and Ireland" and in his first fifteen
years Of his labors in this capacity he
claimed $4,000 for his dividend OF recov-
cred plunderings. And in this sum is not
estimated the moneys which flowed to his
treasury from blackmail and the rob-
berries of his gang.
So brisk eventually became Wild's trade
in Jewels and the precious metals that
he opened relations with Holland, and
was master of feet. AS an evidence Of
the arrogance of the scoundrel II Is re-
lated that when Lady Mn was unlucky
enough to lose a valuable buckle at Wind
sor, she asked Wild to recover it. and
offered him 20 pounds sterling for his
trouble. .'Zounds. madame" said he,

SENATORS IN EXILE
TO BALK. ELECTION
Hope to Keep Democrats
from Taking Seats.
Special to The Washington Herald.

Special to The " Warrington Herald.
Charleston. w. Va. Jan. 13.-The ff-
teen Republican senators who are in exile
in Ohio will not come back. it is stated
by those familiar with their plans and
intentions. until the presidency of the
senate is conceded TO them. Although
there are no warrants out for their ar
rest. and they will not be molested II
they return, as a matter Of party ex-
pedency they will remain in Ohio for an
indefinite period
Behind their action is a determined 'ef-
fort to block the election of any DEM
ocratic senators. 1t Is also generally
known at Charleston that there were
three of the fifteen whom the other
twelve were suspicious Of and leaving
the State was one way Of averting any
detection in their own ranks.
From Republican sources comes the in
formation that the two Democratic can
didates for the United States Senate may
take hand in the organization of the
senate and seek to adjust the differences
between the Republicans and the Demo-
Gratis. but this is not true. From the
same sources it is learned that the Re
publcans may come back Monday. but
not before that time. Special couriers
have been travelling hack and forth be
tween Charleston and Cincinnati and CO.
lumbus carrying messages from the gov
ernor. The fifteen exiles were in Colum-
bus Wednesday.

METCALF FAVORS FRISCO.
Former Cabinet Officer Will Be
Presidents Guest To-day.

Victor H. Metcalf. former Secretary OF
the Navy, arrived in Washington yester-
day. He called on President Taft and
was invited to lunch with him to-day.
Mr.. Metcalf is heartily in favor Of San
Francisco being selected as the site for
the Panama Canal Exposton.
Il went to San Francisco at the re-
quest of President Roosevelt at the time
of the great confiagration in 1906 said
Mr.. Metcalf. Il saw a city in ruins and
visited every section. / never heard a
complaint from any man, woman, or
child. 1t is apparent to me that the
men who rebuilt a great city like San
Francisco will never make a failure Of
the exposition They have begun to COL
lect the guarantee of $11,JO0.OOO, and this
insures the success of the great project.
The idea of holding the exposition took

when they say that they will not ask a
single dollar from the government they
mean it,

Conservation of natural resources is
advocated of a nature that will insure

Of efficiency and a minimum of waste.
The government should. in the opinion of
the board, retain title to all the coal and
petroleum lands and these should be de-
veloped, along with the phosphate lands,
by the leasing instead of the sales sys-
tenn. The Weeks Appalachian bill, as a
means of safeguarding water powers, was
strongly indorsed.
LOyvden Bill Urged.
Such legislation as is needed or which
tends to keep the consular and diplo-
matte service al a high standard of effi-
cheney and dignity was approved; the
passage of the Lowden bill was urged:
and the work of President La lame
came in for especial and fattering
praise. Federal grain inspection was Sc
verely deprecated by the board as like
ly to work serious harm to the indus
try. and this proposed measure was
condemned.
In the resolutions which favored the
establishment of a central bank. the
opposition which had developed against
the proposal was completely swept away
by granting to trust companies equal
privileges in the essentials it is pro-
posed to extend to the national banks.
The extension was most SatSfa ctorily re-
ceived by the many who opposed the
ton. and when the amendment was
made the resolutions were at once
passed.
Although an urgent invitation was eX-
tended by A. J. Logan to hold the next
convention in Pittsburg, the board ad-
jOurned without designating the next
place of meeting.

memorial resolutions were passed on the

FLETCHER WOULD
GUST BALLINGER
Senator, in Two-hour Speech,
Assails Secretary.

The removal of Richard A. Ballinger
as Secretary of the Interior for the
reason that he is no longer deserving of
public confidence. was the conclusion
| reached in d two hours speech before
the Senate yesterday by Senator Fletcher.
Of Florida, member of the joint Con-
gressional committee that Investigated
the Ballinger-Pinchot case
Speaking of the first report of the case
made by Assistant Attorney General Law
Ter. which received the Presidents ap-
proval. Mr.. Fletcher says Mr. Taft was
imposed upon. if not deceived. by the
Secretary taking Lawler into the case -
After considering the whole record we
must believe the derelictions mentioned
by CLAWS We're real, not imaginary.
That the present Secretary of the In
terror is not the man best fitted for the
Office he holds. A strong man of un-
Questioned integrity. competent as well
as honest. subject to no influences SO
commanding as the high service of duty,
should be at the head of this most i'm
portant department of the government
THAT his conduct and associations and
influences justly aroused suspicion; that
he has been and is inclined to favor
private interest rather than care for
those of the public.
That while no actual corruption is
shown. it can scarcely be said that he
is guiltless of official Wrongdoing of
nature warranung criticism.
That he was not in sympathy with
the advocates of conservation, as defined
by the President and his predecessor. and
supported by the officers in the Forest
and Reclamation Service: and by indirec-
ton. and more or less deception, he set
about doing that cause serious injury.
THAT he has been unfaithful both to
the public. whose property ne has en-
dangered. and to the President, whom he
has deceived
His administration we cannot indorse
it is the form of administration well
recognized as of the machine stamp.
His standard of official conduct and
public duty We must condemn-they are
the ideals of the professional politician
which lead to traffic in public offices.
This record impresses one with the
conviction that the trouble has been a
chronic nisconception of fiduciary re-
sponsibility, and the resolution ought to
be adopted. -

CHANGES IN INQUIRY BOARD.
Secretary Meyer Wishes to Prevent
Criticism of Report.

Secretary of the Navy Meyer has made
a change in the detail of officers for
the court of inquiry into the recent acci-
dent on the battle ship Delaware. when
three backheaders of one of the boilers
Kenneth McAlpine and Lieut.. Com
mander S. f. Moses have been taken off
the board. Commander McAlpine was re-
moved from the board because of the
fact that he was inspector of engineering
on the Delaware while she was being
completed at the yards of the Newport
News Shipbuilding Company. Lieut.
Commander Moses was formerly engi-
neering officer at the Norfolk Navy
Yard while the Delaware was at that
yard
In making these changes Secretary
Meyer said that no reflection was in
tended upon these officers, but that the
action was taken simply to prevent criti-
cism of the board s, report. They will
be succeeded by Commander E. Thesis.
member of the board Of inspection, and
Lieut. Commander F. D. Karns. engi-
neer officer of the battle ship South Car
olina.
A report on the accident was received
at the Navy Department to-day from
Capt. Charles A. Cove, commanding Off
Ger Of the Delaware.

DECRY POSTAL ECONOMY.
Urge Extension q
Rural Free Delivery.


Representatives Small, of North Caro-
lima, and Saunders. of Virginia, Demo
Gratis. and Representative Steenerson, of
Minnesota, Republican, made a vigor-
Gus attack in the House yesterday on the
economy policy of Postmaster General
Hitchcock. They declared, in substance,
that while the books of the department
would show that Mr.. Hitchcock through
various economies, had cut down the
postal deficit approximately LOOT. .0OO
that this reform had been carried out at
the expense of efficiency.
The Representatives named were par
ticularly incensed over the action of the
Postmaster General in failing to extend
the rural free delivery service. as directed
by Congress. Representative Small said
that a surplus of 100000 had been ac-
cumulated by the Postmaster General
through his failure to establish rural
routes that were needed in many country
communities.
Representative Steenerson charged that
action on 1.10o petitions for rural service
had been held up in order that the Post
master General might be able to show
that he had reduced the deficits.
1--WE want no economies in the postal
service that will in any way impair the
efficiency" said Mr.. Steenerson.
