NEW YORK, September 2O.-Dr.
Harvey w. Wileys inspection force Of
the pure food department made pub
lie yesterday the results of an investi-
cation of a New Jersey rendering
plant which has lately combined the
business of preparing "pickled horse
meat for European consumption with
that of manufacturing fertilizer and
other products from the carcasses OF
animals.
Eugene J. Schwarz of the SchwarZ
Brothers Company of Kearny, N. J.,
which is the concern named by the
federal Investigators, made a state
ment last night that no diseased
horses or horses dead by other means
than slaughter we're converted into
picked meat for human consump
ton, though in this he is not support
ed by the reports of the Wiley men.
The federal inspectors turned the
case over to the New Jersey State
Board of Health at the last minute
however, because an interstate and
international shipment which would
have brought the matter into the
jurisdiction of Dr. Wiley's men, was
held up and delayed.

Kohala Midget Items.

KOHALA, Oct 4.-Last Thursday
night a burglar got into the Kullui-
haele Pacific Sugar Mill store and
helped himself to $25 worth of skar-
ing pumps and other groceries. The
police officers were notified the next
morning, and with their guns and
clubs were among the camps and
cane fields searching for the much
wanted skater-who, no doubt, is still
skating on the invisible floor
The uine-year-old son of Mr.. Man
uel De FOntes, night Waterman of the
Pacific Sugar Mill. fell from a tree
last week when attempting to climb
higher for a doves nest. Unfortun-
ately, one of the limbs gave way and
the lad fell to the ground. The re-
suit was he had two large cuts on
his leg from a barbed wire. The
doctor was summoned and the cuts
were attended to. The boy is doing
well so far.

ATTACK ON SLEEPING SICKNESS
IN THE SOUDAN IS SUCCESSFUL

THE islands in the river were COM
pletely cleared and the khors COM
with the river cleared for
a distance of five hundred yards from
the point of communication with the
river. A big khor leading from the
river to the village Zone and one-half
miles, was carefully cleared, and two
streams opening into this khor were
treated in the same way. These
swamps were drained. The banana
which had oyergrown the
place and been planted near a fly-in-
tested stream within two hundred
yards of the houses, were eXtirpated
root and branch. The whole of this
work can now be completely revised
every month by a gang of fifty men,"
Captain Thompson believes that it
will be necessary to remove several
villages in order to remove traces of
the disease. At one time as many as
forty men and eleven women were adj
mitted to the camp. A diagnosis of
the disease was made by gland pune.
ture, except in six cases where the
glands were negative, but in these the
clinical signs were sufficient. Four
patients died shortly after admission.
All the patients were supplied with
clothes of white American" cloth, and
sugar and salt in addition to their OF.
binary diet-the addition of sugar hay
ing an excellent effect on the condition
of the characterization patients. On
the whole, Captain Thompson is of the
opinion that were a determined at
tempt made to wipe out the disease
before it spreads any further, and
were the help of the local inhabitants
received, and campaign against the
frightful scourge would prove an un-
doubted success.

LONDON, September S.-Captain Il.
J. c. Thompson of the Royal Army
Medical Corps has something extreme
ly interesting to say in a report that
he has drawn up on the work of the
Sudan sleeping sickness commission
that had been working in the Lado
enclave-the stretch of territory that
has reverted to the Anglo-Egyptian
Sudan on the death of King Leopold
since September, 1910. The British
Officer has little doubt that the fright
full scourge was introduced from the
Kongo, that it became firmly estab-
lished in the Yei, and that the natives
who came there as laborers carried
infection back to the villages. What
still further aggravated the spread of
the disease was the unchecked inva-
sion of the country by cosmopolitan
traders with caravans of Uganda pOr-
tiers. The observation that Captain
. uOIlJSOu has W llldhS vi INC ny lG-
sponsible for the sleeping sickness dis
ease, glossina palpalis, is that it came
into the houses on moonlight nights.
Writing of the town OF Vel, the ad.
ministratiye center of the Lado en-,
clave, Captain Thompson says that the
river banks were entirely cleared fof
"a distance of four miles, the clearing
extending fifty to one hundred yards
back from the waters edge; all trees
and bushes were cut down, all the
grass hoed, the wood and grass were
piled at the edge of the clearing and
burned, the tangle of roots on the facS
of the banks was cleared away, and
when the river became shallow en-
ough the trees and debris which haC
been toppled into the water were lift
ed out and burned. He continued:

While the audience stood, Captain
Bray went out on the veranda and
slowly lowered the flag from the old
building, brought it in and laid it on
the speakers desk. He then conclud-
ed his speech with the following re-
marks:
CAS- the first general secretary,
should be gratified to take by the
hand the present one, who is unavoid-
ably absent today. feel assured that
some of the best efforts of his life
have been thrown into the successful
completion of the noble building yon-

CHAMP CLARK SAYS TAFT'S
CONDUCT IS REVOLUTIONARY

House of Representatives, came
home" today to make a speech in be.
half of the State Democratic ticket
An escort of one hundred men who
were pupils of Clark when he taught
school in Anderson County nearly
forty years ago, were at the depot to
welcome him.
1t was a gala day for the people Of
Lawrenceburg and surrounding coun-
try. Five thousand gallons of burgoo
was served free to men, women and
children. One of the features of the
day was parade.
Jas. B. McCleary, Democratic nom
inee for Governor; Congressman Ollie
James and others of national pormi-
hence took part in welcoming Clark.
The Speaker dwelt on Triumphant
Democracy" in his speech. He said in
part:
Democrats everywhere are cheer
full, united and aggressive, while our
Republican friends are sad, on the de-
fensive and split into bitter factions.
President Taft is leading the stand-pat
faction, while Senator Robert Marion
La Toilette heads the insurgents.
With them it is war to the knife and
the knife to the hilt.
They are so thoroughly destroying
each other that sometimes it seems
that all we have to do is to stand still
and see the salvation of the Lord.
The new Democratic House has
made a record so splendid as to sur
prise our friends and dumfound our
enemies.
THE great battle of 1912 must be
fought on the record of the Democrats
in this Congress, and upon that record
we can win not only next year, but
for years to come.

At 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon

last time in the assembly hall of the

Ebersole and Captain Isaiah Bray.
After a brief prayer and song service,
Captain Isaiah Bray, the first general
secretary of the Honolulu Young
Mems Christian Association and one
of the most active in making the old
building a reality, briefly addressed
the meeting. He said:
( Usually there is good deal Of

veto the President asserts that the
principal point at issue was the re-
call, particularly the recall of judges.
He is entirely mistaken. He raised a
far greater and more far-reaching
question and took the wrong side of it,
and that is whether a State has the
right to adopt for itself such a Con.

course, to the Constitution of the
United States.
The American people, who love a
square deal, will not permit him 10

of State having the right to adopt
any sort of Constitution which suits it
within the limitations named to a
petty squabble about the recall.

tortions at the hands of the Republi.

lief from the monstrous load which
they are now carrying.
THE language of the Presidents

question. He seems to think that
Congress should not consider or pass
any tariff bills except such as he rec.
ommends. This assumption is not
only absurd, but is revolutionary"
