Five MILLION
Inches Of Publicity in Behalf
Of the Crusade against
White Plague.

NEW YORK CITY, March 2s.-
Publicity in newspapers and maga-
zines to the amount of 100000
inches a year on tuberculosis and its
prevention is being given by the press
of the United States, according to an
estimate Issued today by the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis.
If all the publicity on tuberculosis
given by the press of this country in
the year ending April LIST were gath
cred in one paper, the National Asso-
citation. estimates 1t would make pa
per OF over $3.50 pages. In the last
four years, during which time an ac-
tive publicity campaign has been car
ried on, the National Association esti-
mates that over 100000 inches or
over 90 miles Of press notices on tu-
berculosis have been published.
publicity is the very heart Of the
educational campaign against tubeS-
culosis." says Dr. Livingston Farrand,
the executive secretarylof the Nation
al Association. Largely because of
the intelligent cooperation OF the
press, has the antl-tuberculosis move
ment in this country been able to be-
come. as 1t is the greatest organized
movement of its kind in the world.
when tuberculosis shall have become
rare disease. the American press
may justly claim a large share in this
gigantic achievement"

WAsEISGDoN, D. G. March 2s.-
%. A Ramsey delegate from the
Fourth olilahoma district TO thel
Chicago convention, has sent out thel
following open letter:
"col. Theodore Roosevelt. 4
New York, \. Y.
Dear sir:
II have noticed in the press dis
patches a number Of times that you'll
have referred to the election Of the
two delegates in the Fourth oklahomaI
district as examples Of the win eel
the people being overrldden. You'll
state that at the state convention heidi
later you were endorsed by delegate,
from the same district two to one.
That you may not deceive yourself
longer and that the voters Of the
ldifferent states may know the exact
facts, will state in plain words what
every Republican voter here knows
to be true. At the Coaigate eonven-
'tlon. held January i6. 1912, your
supporters had the majority Of the
Congressional committee and att
tempted 70 ofganize the convention
by fair or foul means. resorting TO n
miscall and a missouri of the dele
gates and when forced to give al
square. deal You we're beaten and
president Taft endorsed By a vol Of
/ 11s TO SO and C. W. Miller. of Hugo,
and myself elected as Taft's INSTRUCTED
delegates by similar vote. No more
unfair means were ever used in amy
convention to override the will Of the
majority than was practiced at this
convention by your followers, The
assertion that you make that the
same district sent delegates to the
state convention instructed for you
two to one is false and misleading.
; At the organizat ion of the state cons
vention you had barely seventeen
delegates out of 'ninety-three, or a
smaller vote proportionately than
you had at coalgate, For your fur
Their Information which may also in
terest the voters generally I will say
that delegates to the state convention
were in majority for you because of
the lavish use of money furnished by
the representatives Of the Standard
oil interests and other .malefactors
of great wealth in your behalf.
Money was furnished freely every
where to make your campaign, some
counties being absolutely bought mp
and in the case Of Usage county a
train load OF 25O men was run to the
county seat to overrun and out vote
the residents, with such shameless
methods Of procedure, &c you are
proud of your Oklahoma vote, you
are welcome to the same- With a
fair primary election law On this state
and chance to present the issues
fairly to our Republican voters. you
would be overwhelmingly beaten. 1

statement OF the facts which will be

Of the facts"

 My machine is still running and makes absolutely no sound," ex- claimed Gilbert. removing the case which covered it. The record cylin- ders have fallen into places without a hitch. We've got a record Of every word spoken in Bishops office today"
 One by one Billy transferred the cylinders from the recording machine 10 a phonograph.
 Gilbert, leaning back in comfort able chair with his feet propped upon his desk and a cigar in his mouth, listened intently to every sound re- produced.
 There were interviews with the heads of various departments, then series of letters dictated. and a con V~rsation with a manufacturer in re- gard to a big contract, but this was of no interest to Gilbert. The peculiar sound Of the phonograph became monotonous. He closed his eyes and was falling into a doze when suddenly he sat bolt upright. every faculty alert. his whole attention concentrated on the machine. Bishop was talking to the president of the United Steel and Manufacturing company and the president Of the P. V. & I- R. R. Go. Garrlson's name was mentioned. They discussed the details Of an agreement
 The '. s. & N. Co. was trying to r1nEa .n-Fs ing him to deliver a certain amount of coal weekly and imposing Q ruinous penalty for his failure to do so. The P. V. & L. R. R. Co.,, which controlled the lines over which Garrison must ship his coal, would prevent him from getting enough cars. sidetrack the cars he did get, and by any other means that might be necessary made it impossible for him to deliver the coal. The purpose of this arrange ment was to force Garrison out of business and give the coal trust a monopoly
 For their part in the work accord. ing 10 the agreement the F. V. & l.. R. R. Co. was to get all the freight business of the coal trust. The U. :. x Co. was to get a rebate on the price they paid Garrison for any coal that he did succeed in delivering. and when he was put out of business their coal was to he supplied by the trust at low figure for a number Of years. The terms of this agreement were put in writing and three conspir- ators signed t. The written agreement was left in Bishops care until the |. $. & M. Co. secured the signed con tract from Garrison.

 In company with one of his assist ants, Gilbert called at g o'cloc. on J. C.

Bishop was intrenched in a private ofhce and as inaccessible as a king Knowing this, Gilbert brought let ter Of introduction from J. J.

 No one will touch it"
 Then good-day. MT. Bishop" said Gilbert and his assistant left the office.
 Promptly at o'clock Gilbert again called. NIT. Smith had not arrived Gil bert was greatly surprised. He could not understand the presidents failure to keep his appointment.
