Tallahassee, July 29-In pursuance
of their efforts to improve and
strengthen the efficiency of the medical
staff at the Florida hospital for the in
sane at Chattahoochee, the board of
commissioner Of state institutions have
provided another assistant physician
at the hospital, and have elected DR.
A. e. Confer, of Apalachicola, to I'LL
the place. DR.. Confer has accepted
and will enter upon his services next
month. He was very highly recon-
mended to the board from a profess
sional standpoint, and no other stand
point was considered by the board
The medical staff at the hospital will
now consist of a chief physician, two
assistant physicians, a pathologist and
numerous nurses. The present resident
patient population of the hospital is
more than eleven hundred.

stronghold. Although he was defeat
ed, the young lawyer waged an ag-
gressive campaign and forged ahead of
his party ticket.
It will thus be seen that Mr.. Nc
Coombs comes to his present position
equipped with little actual experience
in the political game. He is a tire
less worker; he possesses unusual
ability to Judge men and he has great
tact. These are the Qualif cations
which fit him for his present position.
But If Mr.. McCoombs is without
practical experience in politics, his ad-
visers on the campaign committee are
mostly old hands at the game. Sena-
tor Reed Is a nan who has been mixed
up in Missouri politics for years; as
much might be said of Senator Gore
of Oklahoma and Senator O'Gorman of
New York. Representative McGilli-
cuddy Of Maine is another experienced
politician. Josephus Daniels of North
Carolina and A Mitchell Palmer of
Pennsylvania are two other members
of the committee who have had wide
political experience.

Of Herman Rosenthal, was forced to
plead Immediately to the charge Of
first degree murder. He was arraigned
before Judge Mulqueen, who convened
the court Of general sessions tonight

Toxic, July 30.-Mutsuhito, the en-
peror of Japan, who died at 12:4S this
morning, has been succeeded by Yoshi-
hito Haru- -No-Mia. His death was due
to acute nephritis. The first acute de-
velopment came on July 19. Hope Of
his recovery had practically been
abandoned from the first, although the
people chung fercely to the hope that
he might live.
Twenty thousand japanese silently
paid their homage to the dead ruler
outside the palace gates. Messengers
silently went through the assemblage
scattering the posted announcement OF
the death. The attack Of nephrlt1s, or
Bright's disease, was complicated by
diabetes and intestinal affection. Mutt
suhito was the 121st emperor of Japan.
Haruko. now dowager empress, yields
her place to the Princess Sadako, the
young empress, who is the mother OF
three sons.
Mutsuhito had been unconscious
since dawn yesterday, yet his heart
continued to beat and he made an oc-
casional feeble movement with his
hands.
All the imperial princes who have
been within the vicinity Of the en-
peror's palace since the beginning OF
the serious period Of his illness on
July 10 were summoned to the sick
chamber and remained there till late
yesterday. They we're present at the
examination by the court physicians,
who found that his majesty's pulse
was very feeble.
A further examination at 8 o'clock
yesterday afternoon showed his maJes-
tvs condition unchanged. At 10 o'clock
last night the physicians bulletin said
the emperor's temperature had in
creased and that his condition had be-
come more serious. Prince Sadanaru
Fushimi, the emperor's cousin, and
three of the other princes left the pail
ace for a short rest at o'clock last
evening, but the crown prince and
most Of the cabinet ministers remained
in a room adjoining the sick chamber.
The crowds outside the palace con-
tinued to increase and numbered at
least 10000 persons at 10 o'clock last
evening.

The announcement was made here

to the CentraPs Twentieth Century

due to a Tow spot in the track and
not to a broken rail. The irregularity
was caused by frost which heaved and
twisted at the rails until an attempt
to run trains at break pace was
unusually dangerous.
The report of the commission closes

too fast for safety. Whatever the fac
tor Of safety may be in summer, II
