ARE WATCHING TYPHOID
ALL OVER VIRGINIA
Department Reports Present Sit
uation is Not Unfavorable

Richmond, Va, July IL, 1911.-
With the physicians of the State
making prompt report of outbreaks
of typhoid fever, the State Health
Department is able to keep in close
touch with the situation and reports
that the present outlook is by no
means unfavorable.
The agents of the Department I'M
der the immediate supervision of
DR.. Allen w. Freeman, Director of
Rural Sanitation, have divided the
work OF the campaign among them
and are following up every extensive
outbreak of fever. AS yet, real cpl
denies of the disease have been few,
though are the usual number of cases
scattered throughout the State.
Speaking of the situation today,
Dr. Ennion G.. Williams, Health Com
missioner, attributed to the introduce
ton of sanitary outbuildings and
wells much of the improvement
shown in certain counties. There
are a large number of factors enter
ing into the spread of typhoid" he
said, "but in rural Virginia, the con-
troll of the problem is largely depend
ent upon sanitary outbuildings and
sanitary wells and springs. In GER
tain counties there has been a very
general movement to better these
conditions, and in practically every
county there have been evidences
of improvement in certain localities.
We are trying to impress upon farm
ers that regard for these two things
at trifiing cost will give them
large measure of protection against
fever.
"The Health authorities have been
mush encouraged at the cooperation
of the local physicians and munich
pal authorities in sending us reports
of outbreaks of typhoid. It cannot
be too often reiterated that upon
prompt reporting depends the sue
cess that can attend Investigations
to prevent the spread of typhoid.

belief may be that partly lines will

ChampClark are unanimous in think
Ing Woodrow Wilson a good man for
president of an educational institu-
ton.
An investment of $4,000 several
years ago in Detroit automobile fac
tory is, it is said, paying an ex-Con-
gresham more than $4,000 a
month. Yet Congress hasn't said a
word about probing the automobile
trust.
OF course all that hullaballoo about
the cost of car fare in the House the
other day was not meant as hint to
washington street car companies the
Congressman could use passes"
AS recognized by its expert max
ers, the first requisite for political
gossip is that it be listenable-its
truthfulness is minor considera-
ton.

GOVERNOR TO BE THERE
Virginia Executive to Speak at
Bull Run Memorial

Washington, July 12.-"Then shalt
thou cause the trumpet of the Jubilee
to sound on the tenth day of the
seventh month Make the
trumpet sound throughout all your
land. And We shall hallow the f1f-
tieth year and proclaim liberty
throughout all the land unto all the
inhabitants thereof. 1t shall be a
Jubilee unto you.-Leviticus 1853,
10.
That is the sentiment in which the
Blue and the Gray who fifty years
ago strove in internecine wa twill
mingle on bloody fields of Bull Run,
twice fought over in the battles that
the veterans of two great American
armies call ''first Manassas" and
second Manassas. There might be
added to the text also this sentence
from the Psalmist:
Behold how good thing it is for
brethren to dwell together in unity"
Will Unite Blue and Gray
Veterans of the Confederate army,
who in their first dash came so near
to the Capital of the Union from
which they sought severance, will
join hands with veterans of the Uni
ted States army who fell back before
the wild onslaught. The President
of the United States will respond to
the welcome given by the representa-
tives of a State wherein the Confed-
crate States of America set up their
government.
The completed program of the
ceremonies for the reunion was an
nounced today by the committee in
c. Round, Westwood
and G.. Raymond Rat
cliffe. Its principal features are
those arranged for the actual ami
versary of the battle, July FL. 1t is
on that day that the President will
be present with the governor of Vir-
ginia, and with veterans of the two
armies from all parts of the United
States. The President is to make
his address at o'clock in the after
noon. He will be followed by Gov.
William Hodges Mann of Virginia.

.LAFOLLETTE PRESENTS
H[RALDED AMENDMENT
Says Proposed Changes Would
Be Of Immense Benefit to Con-
sumers of This Country

Washington, July Ex-senator La
Toilette, of Wisconsin, introduced in
the Senate today his much talked of
amendment to the Canadian recipro-
city bill. The amendment relates to
the cotton and wooden schedules.
During the course of his speech he
said that he believed the duties pro-
posed in his amendment are greater
than necessary to protect our manu-
facturers from European competi-
ton. However he said, as this-is 3
temporary measure he preferred to
be on the safe side and make sure
that no legitimate American indus
try could be injured by any of the
proposed changes.
The amendment provides for tie
following duties: On clothing wool
40 per cent; on carpet wool los per
cent; on clops As per cent; on yarns
SO per cent; on carpets 40 per cent;
on clothes and all other manufac-
lures composed entirely of wool 50
per cent.
The effect of these proposed
changes to the consumers of the
country, he said, is of the utmost
Importance. The proposed reduc.
ton under the cotton is 100000, 600
annually. The estimated loss of re-
venue of the government under the
La Toilette bill would be $3O,O00,-
900.

HeKE SMITH ELECTED
ON THE FIRST BALLOT
Former Governor Joseph M.
Brown Will Probably Be Elect
ed Executive of Georgia

Atlanta, Ca, July 12.-Gov. Hoke
Smith was elected United States SEN
ator from Georgia on the first ballot
taken by the house and senate in
joint session at noon today. He sue
ceeds Joseph M. Terrell, who was ap-
pointed by Gov. Brown to fill the I'M
expired term of the late A. S. Clay.
The contest for the governship,
which will be vacant as a result Of
the balloting for senator today, has
begun to take shape
John M. Slaton, president of the
state senate, who by virtue of the
position will be governor ad interim
between the resignation of Gov.
Smith and the election of his success
sor, and who was expected to be a
candidate for governor to succeed
Gov. Smith, simplified the situation
somewhat by announcing that he
would support former Gov. Joseph
M. Brown for that Office.
1t is stated in many quarters to-
night that should ex-Gov. Brown an
nounce himself a candidate for the
gOvernorship he will have little OPP
position. He has so far declined to
commit himself, however, in regard
the gOvernorship.

FISHER BEFORE
HOUSE PROBERS

Washington, July 12.-Secretary
Walter l.. Fisher of the Interior De-
partment was the most conspicuous
prospective witness present when the
House committee on expenditures in
the Interior Department reasssmbled
today to inquire into the alleged at
tempts of Guggenheim interests to
virtually monopolize the vast coal
fields of Alaska by grabbing Con-
troller bay.
That southern Alaska water front
is claimed to be the only important
outlet for the mining country where
the Guggenheims have been active
that has not already been acquired
by those interests, and the commit
tee is investigating acts of the Inter-
ior Department with reference to the
way in which the lands about Con-
troller bay were ordered opened to
settlement.
Miss NJ F. Abbott, newspaper
writer, charged that in letter which
she says she saw, but of which no
trace has yet been found, Richard S.
Ryan of New York, who is said to
have represented the Guggenheims,
told the then Secretay of Interior,
Ballinger, that he had sent for Char
les P. Taft and asked him to tell
his brother who represented" after
which "the President made no furth-
er objections to my claim" Secre-
tary Fisher has denied for himself
and Interior Department employees
any knowledge of such letter, and
he was ready today to make state
ment to the committee.
Regards Public Interests Safe
Though not subpoenaed Secretary
Fisher was allowed to make state
ment, in which he declared his con-
clusion that the public interests had
not been jeopardized by anything
done in the Alaskan case.
'From my examination of the
case" he said, 81 have satisfied my
self that Mr.. Richard S. Ryan has
obtained no rights in Controller bay
whatever that jeopardize the rights
of any one else" Though unaware
of any dangers, he urged that i'm
mediate action be taken to correct
Iany trouble that might be found to
| exist, and asked to be informed as
soon as possible if there is anything
he could do Ito protect the public
interest, il jeOpardized."

WANT1BETTER SEWERAGE
North Lewis Street Residents Pc.
tition the City Fathers


Citizens residing on North Lewis
street presented a petition at spe-
cial called meeting of the common
council held yesterday afternoon, ask
ing the council to take some action
toward improving the sewerage fac
ilities on that street.
Col. S. Brown Allen addressed the
council on behalf of the petitioners
and explained that North Lewis
street is flooded with water, mud and
filth every time there is a rainfall of
any consequence, and all on account
of the sewers in the affected area
being inadequate. Col. Allen emph-
asised the danger to the health of the
community arising from this source
and urged the council to take i'm
mediate action toward remedying
present conditions.
The council referred the matter
to the committee on streets with
authority to engage an engineer to
look over the ground preparatory
to granting the improved sewerage
facilities asked.
The special purpose of the meet
ing was to consider some action look
ing to the removal of alleged OBJ
structiOns in the bed of Lewis creek
at the Beverley Garage. The coun-
Gil adopted resolution instrucing
the committee on streets and the city
attorney to investigate the situation
and report to the council.
Present at the meeting were Messrs
Crosby, Byers, Bowman, Nelson, Fla
vim, Greaver, Heydenreich, Nelson
and Ware.

TOWNS DESTROYED
PEOPLE HOMELESS
Oscoda and Au Sable, in
Michigan, Completely WHIP
ed Out By Flames.
FOREST FIRES RAGING
Eighteen Hundred Persons Whose
Homes Were Burned, Shelter
less in Fields and Swamps

Detroit, Mich, July 1.-THE de-
struction yesterday of the twin viii
lagos of Au Sable and Oscoda and
the Recommendations fire
at Alpena, which was not due to for
est fires, probably caused exagger-
ated reports of heavy damages and
possible loss of life from forest fires
in the northern counties of the south
ern peninsula of Michigan. Towns
along the Detroit and Mackinac rail-
road, from Posen, in Presque Isle
county, to Onaway, in Cheboygan,
suffered considerable damage, but
many towns that were last night re-
ported burning are today reported
safe. These included Lewiston, Turn
er and Alger.
Reports of loss of life at Au Sable
and Oscoda were persistent last night
and today, but it was impossible to
confirm them. Most of them origi-
mated from the stories of panic
stricken refugees, who, in their ma
rush from the burning towns, saw
many fall from exhaustion and count
ed all these as inevitably lost, some
of the reports estimating the dead as
high as fifty. An unconfirmed rum
or reached Detroit that the burned
bodies of three men and a woman
were found at Au Sable today near
the railroad track, where they had
apparently been overcome while run
ming toward safety in the open fields.
Six Towns Partly Burned
Six towns between Alpena and Che
boygan that were yesterday thought
to be threatened with destruction
suffered serious property losses when
the forest fires invaded their pre-
cincts. At Metz, the scene of great
fatality of the forest fires of 1908, a
great pile of bark was destroyed,
after burning for twelve hours and
seriously threatening the village. At
Millersburg the Gardner Peterman
mill and thirty-one houses were des-
troyed. At Onaway, the section of
the village known as Frenchtown
was RACED.
At Tower the Detorit and Mack
mac freight house, twenty houses
and thirty freight cars were burned.
La Rogue and Posen are also re-
ported to have sustained severe loss
es. A quartermaster general, w.
G. Rogers, of the state militia has
made hurried preparations at Lam
sing to forward a supply of tents to
Oscoda to give temporary shelter to
the homeless people there. Many of
the Au Sable and Oscoda refugees,
however, were taken to East Tawas
on a relief train and to Port Huron
on The steamer Nike.
