STAB KILLS
One Prisoner Stays Another
During Meal at Nebraska
Penitentiary.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 29-Convict
Charles Davis stabbed and almost in
stantly killed Convict John Strong at the
state penitentiary this morning while the
inmates of the prison were leaving the
breakfast table.
Strong was a negro. Davis is a half
breed. The latter was seated directly
behind the man he killed.
The gong had just sounded to clear
the convicts from the table when Davis.
leaning over the interposing table, seized
Strong by the head and plunged the
knife into his throat. drawing the blade,
which was of razor keenness, back to-
ward the ear. The wind pipe was sew
cred and the large arteries were cut
Lives Only Few Minutes.
Strong leaped from his seat onto the
table in front Of him, ran down it and
out of the door into the dollhouse. He
lived only few minutes. Guard Charles
Berry seized Davis, who still held the
knife. The rest OF the men filed out Of
the dining room in order.
Davis is said to have been frequently
threatened by Strong and claims that he
killed the negro to guard his own life.
Strong, who, with q brother, was sent to
prison for murder, serving a life sentence,
had frequently secreted a knife from the
guards and used 1t on fellow convicts
with whom he had grievance, never
occasioning any serious wounds, however.

WAR UPON TUBERCULOSIS
AMONG REDS PLANNED
Fresh-Air-Cure Campaign to
Be Fathered by In
dian Bureau.
GIVE him the fresh-air cure"

Give him the fresh-air cure"
This is the slogan which in all proba-
bility will be sounded soon at the In
dian bureau.
AS usual, Poor Lo of the western
plains will be the subject.
In the application of the new "cure,"
however. there is great promise. it is
said. that big step will be taken to
eradicate tuberculosis from the ranks
of the Indian tribes on the various res
ervations.
The first move in the campaign now
reposes quietly on a desk in the private
office Of Commissioner Robert G. Valen-
tine in the Indian bureau. and is a small
| model log house with several new sorts
of ventilating attachments insuring, it is
declared. fresh air to the sleepers. This
after in the building Of "shacks' on the
reservations when the work begins in
earnest.
Custom Means Ill Health.
For years the Indian bureau had strug-
gled with the practice of the Indian who
has given up his tepee and taken to life
in a one-room shack, of piling earth
sometimes half above the windows after
mailing them closed and then keeping the
door closed and barred the greater por-
ton Of the time.
Cooking, eating and sleeping in this one
room, it is said, causes tubercular germ:
| to multiply in great numbers and the
| natural result is that many of the rec
| race are being moved down by the grea
white plague.
| Now, in the model house Superintendent,
Of Indians Baker has planned an outsid,
| chamber which will constantly bring all
| into the center of the house and emit int
| the room Immediately below the stove 81

| Another pipe entering the room from

| there will be at all times supply o.
fresh air in the place. which will go fan
| toward Graduating disease.
Sleeping Chamber.

Urges Federal Law.

II have believed that it would be finally
found necessary to provide by federal en-
actment that no strike should be declared
by organized labor upon any interstate
railroad until the question at issue has
been submitted to arbitration and a GER
tain length of time has interviewed after
the award and after notice that the strike
would be inaugurated, Notwithstanding
the award.
1T is doubtful if we could compel
either the railroads or the employees to
comply with the award. But certainly. in
view of the stake which the public has,
the government may require of the rail-
road as its servant upon the one hand.
and of organized labor. as condition of
it's organization. upon the other hand.
that the use of these public facilities shall
not be interrupted until every attempt
has been made to avoid that necessity

FAVORS FEDERAL LAW
PROVIDING ARBITRATION
Urged by Chairman Prouty Of
I.C. C. at Dinner of Trans
portation Officials.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, March 29.-Six hun
dred railroad officials from the principal
transportation centers of the country at
tended the annual dinner OF the Traffic
Club of Pittsburgh here last night. A
special train brought many from New
York. Philadelphia and other eastern
points. and a number arrived in their
private cars during the day. The princi-
pal address of the evening was made by
Charles a. Prouty. chairman of the inter-
state commerce commission, who in dis
cussing the relation Of the commission
to the railroads and the public said:
Suppose organized railway labor
makes a further demand for increased
wages, and that the railroads accede
to this demand. The increased wage adds
to the expense of operation and re-
duces net revenue. The railroad applies
to the interstate commerce commission
for leave to advance its rates on this &C
count. What now is to be the answer
of the commiSsiono

Places Roads in Dilemma.

The railway rate is paid by the whole
body of the public. If, therefore, this in
crease In wages is unjustifiable, and if on
that account increase in rate is al
lowed. it results that the general public,
including all other forms of labor, is re-
quired to pay what is unjust and unrea-
sonable. Must the government not there
fore be satisfied not only that the added
wages are paid by the railroads, but that
they are necessarily and properly paid
And Is not the railroad thus placed in a
most unfortunate and embarrassing di
lenana?
Consider this matter now for a mo-
ment from the public viewpoint. II
was recently suggested that certain de-
mands would be made by railroad labor
in a certain section of this country,
which would be supported, If not com
piled with. by a general strike of all
classes of trainmen. Such a strike
would be altogether possible today
Ought the public not to protect itself
against the consequences of such posi-
BILE action.
I'VE have the Erdman act, and this
has given most admirable results. But
that is peace measure obligatory
upon no one and of no value in time of
war.
