WINNING BATTLE
ON WHITE PLAGUE

WASHINGTON. Nav 3o.-With ned
zeal and scientific experts from all parts
of the country present. the eighth an
nual meeting Of the National Associa
tion for the Study and Prevention Of
Tuberculosis convened here today.
In his paper on The Death Rate
From tuberculosis IN Large cities Dr.
H. NJ. Riggs. chief medical officer of the
New York city department Of health
said in part.
There can be no doubt that the rate
of decrease in deaths from tuberculosis
in numerous countries and cities has
been proportionate 10 the activity and
energy with which the campaign for
prevention has been carried on,
The only one Of these large cities in
which there has been an increase in
the death rate from pulmonary tuber-
culosis is in Chicago The most re-
markabl decrease has taken place in
London il may he noted that the death
rate in Paris is more than three times
that of London and twice that Of New
York and Berlin.
difficulties in the way Of proven
ton are far greater in New York than
IN any other large city, but the results
which have been attained in these re-
cent years everywhere where active
campaigns have been carried on are
certainly most encouraging
The paper on Revised Estimate Of
the Economic Cost Of Tuberculosis, 3"

LEvEE INSPECTED.

The members of the Orleans Levee
Board made a trip of inspection Tues
day on the levee on the /Algiers side
of the river, from the Canal street
ferry landing down to Shamrock, ten
miles below, in automobiles. A great
deal of emergency high water repair
work has been done in that direction
during the several weeks past, such as
stopping crawfish and muskrat holes,
raising the levees with washboards
and in other ways. Besides, there Is
deal of levee work to be done on that
stretch as soon as the water is suffi'
GENTLY low to permit, and the board
desires to have some idea as to just
what will be necessary.
The dredge-boat which has been en-
ployed for the purpose of securing
earth on the Algiers side with which
to build up the levees, mas been con
tinued in service, but will also soon
be dispensed with, as the Dock Board
will need it at an early day and will
have it thoroughly overhauled.

AN APPEAL.
From the Conference, Holy Name OF
Mary, ST. Vincent de Paul So
ciety.

On next Sunday, June ,, 1912, there
will be a special collection taken up
in the Church of the Holy Name of
Mary for the benefit of the poor fami-
lies who are on the roll of the confer
ence.
This is the first time since the aggre-
CATION of the conference, which was in
the year 1900, that we were compelled
to call on a special collection in the
church.
Until the present time the resources
from the Poor Box, contributions from
members, from penny parties and 9th
er entertainments have been adequate
to meet our wants, but owing to sick
ness and increased demands, our funds
have become exhausted and hence our
appeal. We investigate all destitute
or needy families reported to us, and
if found worthy, we assist them, ire
spective of race or religion. They are
visited weekly, and whenever possible
we do all We can to secure employ
ment for any who may be able to
work.
The works of the Society are purely
those of charity, and its rewards pure
ly spiritual. Humility is demanded by
its rule, and the practice thereof is ex-
pected of its members.
1t has no badges, no banners, no
parades, no fixed dues, no material PEN
alties, and hence avoids and discour-
tenances public notoriety of its works.
If it were possible to give you Wis.
ual demonstration of the amount of
good being done; if we could show
you the condition OF many whom We
assist daily; if you could see the smile
of gratefulness, and hear the prayer
of thankfulness, as We do, We are GER
tain that you gentle reader, would he
come a regular weekly contributor
You would at least know that you
were being remembered in the pray
ers of the poor, and you would have
the satisfaction of knowing that you
were contributing to the assistance o.
some poor mortal less blessed with
the goods of this world than yourself
Now, kind reader, the Conference O
the Holy Name of Mary, respectful!
makes this appeal to you, in behal
of the poor, to assist with your mite
in the collection next Sunday, anC
those who otherwise would like to as
sist, or would desire any information
regarding the Society may call on an,
officer or member, who are at any tim
ready to meet them.
, The Conference also has a Ladies
: Auxiliary which has been assisting TO
the past two years in attending tn
, poor families assigned to them, in vi:
: iting and assisting the sick, clothin
children, contributing to its success
financially and otherwise.

ATTENDS SILVER JUBILEE.

Rev. Father Thos. ]. Larkin left for
Salt Lake City, Utah, and at the time
of his leaving it was reported that
Father Larkin had been transferred
and that he would be succeeded here
shortly by another parish priest. This
rumor gained a swift circulation and
his hundreds of friends were thorough
ly alarmed over the matter. Inquiry
at the Presbytery, however, brought
out the fact that Father Larkin had
left for Salt Lake City, to be present
at the Silver Jubilee of All Hallow
College, over which he presided for
eight years as it's president. The 25th
anniversary of the college will be eel
ebrated with great pomp and Father
Larkin will deliver the baccalaureate
lecture to the students and will make
the closing address at the commence
ment

ITEM ARTICLE WITHOUT FOUN-
DATlON.

During the week the Item published
report regarding the establishment
here of the Anheuser-Busch Brewery,
having it as a rumor that the we'll.
known ST. Louis concern would, in all
probability take over the plant of the
Security Brewing Company. 1t seems
that the newspaper article in itself
discredits the Item, for the fact that
they quote the vice-president of the
Anheuser-Busch Association as deny
ing emphatically that the brewery con-
templates any such action.
In an interview with The Herald,
Mr.. Zach Tinker, president of the Sc
curity Brewing Co., stated that the
report is without any foundation what
ever; that there never have been any
negotiations toward the purchase OF
the brewery, that their firm is here to
stay and to continue to turn out the
famous product from the west bank
of the river The Security Brewing
Company's plant at present employs
about 60 Algiers people, and as we
look upon this industry as one of our
staple institutions, We should also
when opportunity presents, give it a
boost insofar as encouraging the home
patronage. Many of our saloons are
purchasing their beer from breweries
located on the other side of the river
but we look to the Security Brewing
Company to spend their money for EN-
| ployes and material on this side, witt
us. Yet, most of our saloon merchant:
do not reciprocate in this trade. Pat
ronizing home industry is boosting oul
own game, and the sooner We get bus!

MAHoNEY SUCCEEDS WooDUL.

The appointment of Mr.. VIM. MahO-
ney as agent of the Southern Pacific
Company on this side of the river, 20
succeed c. B. Woodul has pleased
many of his friends who are extending
him congratulations on this well mer-
tied promotion. Mr.. Mahoney has
been with the Southern Pacific Com
pany for the past seventeen years, and
while still a very young man, he has
had a world of experience that has
ably fitted him for this responsible po-
sition. Mr. MahOney's ability as
railroad man has been recognized by
the officials of the road on several Oc-
casiOnS, which resulted in his promo
ton, and he having finally gone to the
head of the list, it must be a source
of pride and satisfaction to him TO
know that he has won the coveted
goal. Mr. C. B. Woodul, his predeces-
sor, who is also we'll and favorably
known, has left for Muscatine, Iowa,
where he takes a position as agent
with the NJ. y. & S. Ry. Mr.. Woodul's
many friends regretted to see him
leave and the employees of the COM
pany who worked with him for several
years have only kind words to say of
their former chief.

WHITE NOT MALICIOUS IN CIRCU
LATING REPORT.

After practically deciding that NJ. ].
White of Algiers, charged with max
ing false statements regarding the
financial condition of the Interstate
Bank and Trust Company, was not
guilty, Judge Chretien of the Criminal
District Court agreed, upon request of
the district attorney, to withhold his
decision until the prosecutor can sub
NIT further authorities, in which he
hopes to show that Whites act in do
ing what he did was a malicious one.
1t was shown by the testimony adj
duced Friday morning that White was
told by Mr.. Whiting of the plumbing
firm of Borum Whiting, of Howard
avenue and Carondelet street, of an ad-
verse report about the bank. White,
believing that this was reliable infor-

in-law and to two of his friends, to get
their money out of that bank.
| Judge Chretien held that White did
what any other man would have done
and that the law did not cover such act
The law says that a person must cir
culate broadcast, with malice and with
a view of injuring a bank, false and
malicious rumors concerning it's finan
cial condition, but l see nothing in the
evidence to show that the defendant
was guilty under the law" said Judge
Chretien.
AS it was very apparent that Judge
Chretien was about to decide in favor
of the defendant, District Attorney
Adams arose and, addressing the court
said: Twill your honor withhold youl
decision until l can submit brief Civ
ing authorities to show that the de
PENDANTS act is covered by the law?'
The court agreed to withhold its de
cision until Mr.. Adams can submit his
brief.

FOR IMMIGRATION STATION.

The New Orleans immigration Sta
ton is a victim of the circumlocution
of officials, but it will be freed from it
if Representatives Dupre and Estopi-
nal have the power, and they hope they
have. Mr.. Dupre introduced a bill ap-
propriating s14,500 to provide water, a
sewerage system, fences and landing
stage for the station. At the same
time he and his colleague Joined in
letters to Chairman Fitzgerald of the
Appropriation Committee and Secre-
tary Nagel, pointing out that unless
the necessary things mentioned in the
bill are provided for at this session Of
Congress the station will be handi-
capped, if not absolutely useless, for
twelve or eighteen months after it's
buildings have been finished.
At present the subject is in the twi-
light zone. Assistant Secretary Ca
bell, who has immediate charge of i'm
migration stations, says he will not
submit a formal estimate asking for
that money until next December, which
will be two months after the station is
finished. When Mr.. Cabell gave the
New Orleans Congressman that answer,
a short time ago, they went to Chair
man Fitzgerald, asking him to ask Ca
bell for such an estimate, Cabell hav-
ing said that only under such condi-
tions would he send in an estimate be-
fore next December. Fitzgerald an
swered their representations on that
point by saying it is not the policy of
the committee to force the executive
departments to make estimates for
things they do not want. He fatty de-
clined, and that was the status when
Mr.. Dupre put in his bill.
Commissioner Redfern submitted an
estimate calling for the expenditure of
more than 100000 to put the station
in first-class condition, but when he
was told that such a sum could not be
had he put in an estimate for the
things he simply could not do without,
and the estimate of s14,500 was the
result. The New Orleans Congress
men propose to get that money or
know why they cannot have it.

NO SIDE LINES FOR CITY'S FIRE
MEN

Members of the fire department have
been prohibited from pursuing any
avocation other than that of firemen.
Chief Pujol in speaking of the sub
ject Friday said:
Complaints of various kinds have
come to my Office relative to firemen
peddling jewelry and engaging in out
side work, and after investigating the
subject concluded that the discipline
of the department will be best sub
served by prohibiting any member of
the department engaging in other work
and serving the public except in the
strict line of his duties.
while l should personally be very
glad to see any of the firemen make as
much money as they possibly can hon.
estly, still l do not think it is good
policy to permit them to engage in
outside work. The duties of a fireman
are serious and exceedingly important
and the taxpayers have right to de-
mand his full time and service. No
man can we'll engage in several enter
prises when serving the public in the
capacity of fire fighter. l am conf
dent I am acting for the best interest
Of the service
