Roger MOffett died at 4 o.
clock Monday morning from par
alysis after a sickness which had
lasted Off nearly a year. The
death occurred at the home of
his brother John Moffett. with
whom the deceased had made his
home since the marriage of Mr..
and Mrs. MOffett. Funeral SER
vices were held from the MethO-
dist church Tuesday afternoon, at
3 O'Clock. The g. A. R. post Of
this city of which the deceased
was a member, had charge of the
services at the grave.
Roger Moffett was born in Bor

at the time of his death was rs
years, 2 months and 15 days of
age. While still a small child his
parents emgrated to Quebec, Can
ada, and he lived there until near
ly OF age, learning the carpenter
trade and becoming an expert
wood worker and cabinet maker.
As a young man he went to'Wis-
cOnSn and when the civil war

Scouts Leaders Say No Equip
ment is Needed by Boys.

The leaders of the Boy Scouts
of America wish to make it plain
that it is not necessary for boys
joining the organization, to wear
UNIFORM or procure any, special
equipment to engage in scout ac-
tlvities. 1t is not necessary for
the boy scout to spend any money
unless he desires. He can have
just as much fun, take all the
tests for the different grades of
Scout and be received by the
other boys without spending a
cent. For the convenience, how
ever, of the boys who wish to OBJ
tain uniform and other equipment
the national Council has arranged
with certain manufacturers TO fur
niSh these articles to the boys.
The Council has succeeded in cut
ting the prices to one-half and in
some instances One-third of what
fOrmerlry was charged. A knife
mat formerly cost $500 can nOw
be obtained for $1.00. Whistles
that used to cost 25c can be
bought for 1Oc.. While these ar
ticleS can be ordered from the Ma.
tiOnal Headquarters, yet arrange
mentS are being made so that suits
and other articles of guaranteed
material can be obtained from
other dealers, all bearing the
stamp of the Boy Scouts of
America.

WILEY RULE REVERSED
ovERRULED BY BOARD IN SYRUP
CASE DECISION.
Offered Money by Manufacturers to
Make Ruling Favorable to
Their Product.

Washington.-That three of Presl-
dent Roosevelt's cabinet oficers-Sec-
retaries Cortelyou, Straus and Wilson
sitting as a board of review, had
reversed the governments ruling
against the Corn Products company
was. the assertion of DR.. H. w. Wiley
as a witness in his own behalf.
The case was that of the Corn Prod
ucts company, whose right to apply
the name Of corn syrup" to glucose
the bureau of chemistry and the board
of food and drug inspection had de-
MED.
Doctor Wiley testified that when
the bureau and the board had agreed
that the name was a misapplicat1on
the corporation had offered money to
chemists to make affidavits that corn
syrup was a proper description.
Shortly afterward, he declared, the
board of three cabinet off1cers-Sec-
rotary of the Treasury Cortelyou, Sec
rotary of Commerce and Labor Straus
and Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
set aside the decision and sustained
the contention of the corporation
That ruling, he added, still stands.
In opening his testimony Doctor
Wiley placed in evidence the letter
written by Secretary Wilson on April
"a, 1907, notifying him of the appoint
ment of Doctor Dunlap as associate
chemist. This is the letter which
Doctor Wiley interpreted as giving
Doctor Dunlap authority greater than

STRIKE ABOUT OVER
EXPECTED THAT WITHIN A FEW
DAYS TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
WILL BE NORMAL.
RAIL ROADERS BACK AT WORK
Prospects Bright for Ending of Dock
ers' Strike at LiverpooI.--Union-
lists Throughout Nation
Celebrate.

London, England-The railwaymen
throughout the kingdom are returning
TO work and it is hoped within a few
days to have the great transit systems
working under normal conditions.
Following the announcement that
the railway managers and their en-
ployes had agreed to permit a COM
mission to settle their difficulties, came
the reassuring news that there was
great hope of ending the lockers,
strike at Liverpool and that the work
ers there shortly would resume work.
No rioting as a result Of labor trou-
bles was reported, except at Dublin,
where the police and cOnstables at
tackled a mob which was in sympathy
with striking neWsboys who were en-
deaVoring to prevent the distribution
Of newspapers. Numerous persons mad
their heads cracked in the melee and
several shops we're looted.
The railway workers held meetings
throughout the country to celebrate
what they claimed to be victory over
the railway companies. With the eX-
ception of 1000 men of the Northeast
ern Railway company, which was not
a party to the strike settlement agree
ment, and 5000 Manchester men, all
the stations passed resolutions IN favor
of a resumption of work.
The Northeastern company's en-
pIoyes demand an eight-hour day and
a two-shilling weekly advance in Wag-
es. with a minimum weekly wage of
% shillings, or about $3.50.
At Llanelly the death list as re-
suit of the disturbances reached IL.
Three of this number were shot by the
troops. Many persons were seriously
injured Eight thousand troops will
remain at Llanelly. The officer in
command of the troops there says that
roughs, and not strikers, we're respon-
sible for the original rioting. The
military also remained on duty at a
few other points in the kingdom, but
their services to put down disorder
were not required.
King George telegraphed Premier
Asquith congratulating the govern
ment on it's success in it's efforts to
bring about reconciliation between
the railways and their employees.
The steamers Celtic and Caronia
both sailed from Liverpool with full
passenger lists, while more passen-
gers are awaiting them at Queenstown.
The Philadelphia called at Queenstown
and picked up the mails and many pas
sengers. The mail she takes to New
York is only a couple of hours late.
The Carmania landed her passengers
and mails at Plymouth.
A meeting of 10000 trades unionists
of London was held at Hyde Park.
Labor leaders congratulated the rail-
way men on their victory and a reso-
luton which was put from numerous
platforms pointed out that for the first
time in history the companies had rec
ognized the principle of collective bar
gaining, thereby conceding what al
ways had been a vital principle OF the
trade unionists.

BREAKS AIR RECORD
BRINDLEY SCARS 11,726 FEET
SETS NEW WORLDS MARK.
AJimmy" Ward Has Narrow Escape
From Death-Volplanes to
Safety.

Grant Park Aviation Field, Chicago
Borne by man made wings and sus-
tanned by man made power, Oscar
Brindley, in a baby Wright biplane,
explored a region hitherto denied to
man. More than eleven thousand feet
above the waters of Lake Michigan,
he circled through clouds invisible
from earth, flirted with death in its
most horrible form and finally de-
scended safely-a new hero in the
fast increasing list of those made by
the new game, or science, or sport
aviation.
Brindley registered 11,726 feet; Par
melee, 1887.
The worlds record is 1882 feet,
made eight or ten days ago by Captain
Felix, a Frenchman, in a Farman ma
chine
Thrillers of another sort than the
cloud chasing punctuated the days
events. James Wards propeller went
to pieces during a flight-one of the
accidents most feared by airmen-and
sent splinters flying in cloud. The
aviator descended in safety, however.
Earle Ovington was forced to alight
in the lake during the crosslake-and-
country flight to the South Shore

100000 OUT NJ ENGLAND
Troops Guard Railway Property
Chief Cities Are Armed
Camps.

London.-The fight between the
railroad companies and the striking
union employees is on in dead earnest.
Thousands have obeyed the strike or
der. 1t is estimated 100000 are now
out. The companies are operating
their principal trains under guard of
soldiers. There has ben much rioting
throughout the country.
The government and the board of
trade are continuing their efforts to-
ward peace, but the old deadlock be-
tween the unions and the managers
appears to have reasserted itself.
The chief cities of England are
armed camps The stations, work
shops, signal posts, tunnels and
bridges are guarded by soldiers.
There has ben rioting at Birming-
ham. Derby, Sheffield and at Llanelly,
Wales. The government views the in
dustrial war as so grave that parlia-
ment did not adjourn as had been eX-
pected, but will continue prepared to
adopt any emergency legislation the
moment 1t is necessary.

Experts Of the federal hospital serV-
ice have been compiling data from the
census reports that make a striking
showing of the cost Of disease in this
country and emphasize the necessity
of more rigid enforcement, particular
ly in cities, of laws and regulations
designed to safeguard the public
health. tuberculosis is stated to cost
this country in the value of lives de-
stroyed, $250,000.000 a year and the
mere expenses in medicine, food, medi-
cal attendance and loss Of wages is
$90,000,000 annually, says the st. Paul
Pioneer Press. The census reports
estimate the value of the $4,000 lives
lost annually from typhoid fever at
1912, 900. The experts estimate
that the total loss from contagious
diseases, including tuberculosis. is
$750,00O,000 a year, of which 40 per
cent. or $30O,OOO.0OO, is preventable.
The cost of prevention would be a
mere fraction of the cost of preventa-
BILE diseases and there should be no
false economy in expenditures for the
campaign against contagion. The
health of the people is the greatest as
set of the nation.
