Ask Aid of Legislature.

Columbus. = Tentative drafts of
three bills centralize and make more
effective the fight being waged in
Ohio against tuberculosis have been
approved at meeting here of leaders
of the state ahti-tuberculosis cam
paign. These bills are to be intro
duced before the coming Legislature
One of these bills provides for an
annual health day in October when
at least one hour in every school in
the state shall be set aside for in
struction of pupils in public and per-
sonal hygiene.
county or district tuberculosis hospi-
tai authorities shall appoint at least
one visiting nurse in each county or
tuberculosis district to visit all cases.
The third contemplates preventing
county commissioners from building
tuberculosis hospitals on county in
firmary grounds, thereby centering ef-
forts for relief work in district hos
pitals.
In addition to approving the draft
of these bills, the conference decided
to center energies upon plan to es-
tablish a new state division of tu-
berculosis under the direction of the
state board of health. BY this means
1t is planned to transfer future con-
troll of the anti-tuberculosis campaign
in Ohio to the state. The Ohio So.
ciety for Prevention of tuberculosis
has campaigned without state assist
ance for the last II years.
The proposal to create state di-
vision of tuberculosis has received
the Endorsement of Governor-elect
James M. Cox. 1t carries with it a
reuqest for an appropriation of $685.
900 year for the next two years to
finance the work.
Physicians and health authorities
from all parts of the state were in
attendance.

Supervisor of Public Printing Craw-
ford will recommend the erection of
state bindery.
He does not believe it would be wise
at this time to attempt to enact legis-
lation under the new constitutional
provision by which the state may do
its own printing. Erection Of state
printing establishment, Mr.. Crawford
says, will not be recommended now.
The state bindery is in a rented
building, and Mr.. Crawford points out
that two years rent will pay for
new structure on the states land, and
additions may be added as growth JUS
tifies. He also will recommend the
abolition of the state printing COM
mission, composed of the secretary of
state, attorney general and auditor of
state.
This commission, Mr.. Crawford de-
clares, has been Of little use, because
it is compelled to rely on the state
printer for its information about most
Of the subjects upon which it must
pass. No bills can be paid without its
approval and failure to meet ties up
money of claimants with no advantage
to the state. All powers should be
lodged in the state printed, Mr.. Craw-
ford insists.

Convicted soIons Lose Out.

Columbus, O.-Application of State
Senators Isaac e. Huffman and
l.. R. Andrews for permission to
carry to the supreme court the cases
in which they were convicted of ac-
cepting bribes for their votes in the
last legislature was refused by that
court. This means that both senators
probably will begin their sentences in
the penitentiary at once.
The two senators carried their cases
to the circuit and then the supreme
court after they had been convicted
and sentenced to the penitentiary in
the common pleas court.
Andrews was sentenced to nine
months and Huffman to three years
in the states prison. The cases were
carried to the supreme court in an
attempt to knock out the penitentiary
sentences.
Huffman and Andrews will be the
second and third legislators to go to
the penitentiary as the result of the
bribery prosecutions. Rodney J. Die
gle, who was sergeant-at-arms of the
senate, is now serving four-year SEN
tence on like charge.

HOW COMPETITION IS ST|FLED
Water Lines Almost Entirely Con-
troIIed by Railroads, Says Com
missioner Conant.

Washington, d. C.-That all hope
of competition between railroads and
water carriers has been Systematically
stifled by the railroad interests
through the purchase of steamship
lines was shown in report on "Trans-
portation by water in the United
States, Part A." just made public here
by Luther Conant, Jr., commissioner
of corporations.
The report stated that 80 per cent
of the canal traffic of the United
States was in the hands of the rail-
roads; that the Atlantic seaboard,
panies were almost entirely controlled
by the land transportation companies,
and that the steamship trade on the
Great Lakes was controlled by these
interests to a marked degree. The
object of railroad control over domes-
tic water carriers, says the report, is
to eliminate the competition of water
carriers, to attain entrance into terri
tories not open to their rail lines and
to secure valuable feeders, mainly To-
cal lines.
The report goes on to state that
"the conditions set forth cannot fail
to command attention" and that If
there is to be any successful attempt
to increase competition in domestic
water traffic the interstate commerce
commissions Jurisdiction over joint
rail-and-water traffic, particularly with
regard to the establishment of joint
rates between co.carriers, must be far
more generally established than at
present Particular attention is called
to the monopoly of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad in
the water traffic of the New England
states.

Additions Planned for Hospitals.

In carrying out it's plans to relieve
overcrowding in the State Hospitals
at Newburg and Massillon, the board
of administration shortly after the
first of the year, plans to transfer 250
patients to the Stark County institu-
tion. One new building will then be
recommended for the Newburg Hos
pital, while more extensive additions
will be made at Massillon.
The need for enlargements at both
hospitals was determined by the board
after an investigation of conditions at
the 1S institutions under its super
vision.
1t was found that in all state hos
pitals the condition was such that a
change was imperative, while at New
burg many Of the patients were sleep
ing on the floors.
The original plans concerned extern
sive additions at the Newburg Hos
pital, but because of the prohibitive
price of land there the board decided
to recommend the greater enlargement
at Massillon. The plan is to make the
institution largely self-sustaining,
while at the same time, many patients
will have the benefit of open-air treat
ment.

q DIE WHEN BOAT
HITS HUGE ROCKS
SAILORS LIVES ARE BLoTTED
OUT WHEN FRElGHTER GOES
ASHORE DURING FOG.
SURVIVORS NEARLY FREEZE
Men Who Take to Small Life Crafts
Suffer Untold Hardships, Only
Only Five of Them Be-
ing Rescued.

St. Johns, N. F.-Twenty-two sail
ors lost their lives when the
freighter Florence of the Furness line
was driven ashore in heavy fog near
st. Shotts. The only survivors were
the second mate and four sailors, who
were brought in here after suffering
great hardship in an open boat.
The Florence left Halifax several
days ago and was proceeding to st.
Johns with general cargo. The
weather had been foggy for two days
and this had prevented the taking of
any observations. The master of the
Florence was also faced by heavy seas.
The master of the Florence was
proceeding cautiously in the fog, but
that he had completely lost his bear
ings and the heavy seas slowly but
surely sent the boat on the rocks.
She filed rapidly and soon settled.
Five of the crew, Second Mate He'd
ley and four seamen, who took the
daring risk of finding shore landing
for the others, escaped death. These
five, three of them carrying the other
two, dragged themselves into Trepassy
from the deserted fishing huts of st.
Shots and then came to this city,
where the disaster was first reported.
Capt Barr, the British skipper of the
Florence, stood by his ship with the
remainder of the crew and took his
chances on the crumbling vessel only
to lose.
There had been no time to pro-
vision the boats and the craft in which
the second mate and his men used in
escaping was without food or water.
Drenched by the flying spray which
chilled them to the bone the five men
toiled desperately to keep from freez-
ing to death and to sight, if possible,
a passing boat. They stood out to sea
fearing to approach the shore where
the pounding of the sea warned them
that an attempt to land might prove
fatal
The mate took his turn at the oars
with the sailors and when not so en-
gagged busted himself by slapping and
pounding the oarsmen to keep them
awake, knowing that if they fell asleep
they would never waken.
In the dense fog the men several
times heard the sounding of fog
whistles on passing steamers and
once were near enough to hear the
swish of the boats as they swept by,
but the wrecked mariners had no
means of signalling help.
At the end of the second day, when
all were about to give up the strug
gle and with their eyes nearly blinded
by the freezing spray and their hands
raw from the constant tugging at the
oars, the party was picked up by a
passing steamer and brought here.

TAFTS THIRD MESSAGE
ASKS SEAT FOR CABINET Off.
GERS IN CONGRESS.
Deals With Affairs In Interior, Agri-
culture, Postoffice, Commerce and
Labor Departments.

Washington, d. C.-President w. n.
Taft submitted to congress in con-
crete form the idea he advanced at
the recent banquet of the Lotus club
in New York-that cabinet officers be
given places in congress. The spe-
citic recommendation was included in
the presidents third message so far
this session. 1t dealt with affairs in
the interior, agriculture, postoffice and
commerce and labor departments. In
it he also strongly outlined his stand
on the trust question.
"A trade commission which looks to
the fixing of prices is altogether i'm
practical, and ought not to be con-
sidered as possible solution of the
trust question:" he asserted. This
question by the enforcement of Sher-
man antitrust law is gradually solv-
ing itself. If the law is quietly but
itself to the statutory requirement,
and the unrest in commercial circles,
provoked by the trust discussion, will
disappear"
Other recommendations urged by
the president were for special court
to hear appeals in the enforcement of
the pure food laws: that land laws
be completely revised to secure prop
er conservation and yet permit de-
velopment; and that pay to railroads
for carrying the mail be readjusted.
The presidents plan for seating
cabinet members in congress is ap-
parently modelled after the system now
in vogue in the British parliament
The president said:
"The rigid holding apart of the leg
islative and executive branches of this
government has not worked for the
great advantage of either. 1t was
never intended they should be sepa-
rated in the sense of not being in
constant effective touch and relation
ship to each other"
The president also pointed out that
cabinet officials, if they knew they
would daily have to face questions
as to their departments, would prob
ably pay closer attention to their work
On department matters, the presi-
dent predicts the postal savings banks,
now running at a deficit of 100000
year, will be self-sustaining when
the deposits reach $50,OO0,0OO. About
$2S,000,000 is now deposited.
Taft also vigorously defends his re.
cent proclamation placing $4,000 third
and fourth class postmasters under
civil service, declaring the reform was
not undertaken "for political motives"
but in the interest of efficient public
service"

Ask Aid of Legislature in the

Columbus.-By statement complet-
ed by e. f. Brown, fiscal agent of the
board of administration, as part of the
boards annual report, it is shown
that the body, since it took charge of
1S state institutions August 10, 1911,
made an actual saving, up to Novem
ber Is, of SASS, ,16S.72. To that sum,
in making comparisons, should be adj
ded Sal, ,6S5, due to increase in popu-
lation; $11,76709 for bills covering
supplies delivered to the institutions
under the old regime, and $S3,927.S0
for supplies now on hand. The total
saving in reality is S667,O0O, approx
mately.
1t is also pointed out that had the
prices of supplies in general continued
the same in 1912 as in 1911 the eXpen-
ditures would have been still more
reduced. The increase in living cost
the board sets forth, is equal to $780,
900.
In addition to the savings, Mr..
Brown explains in his report that the
appropriation for maintenance sought
by the board for 1913, while seemingly
greater than that asked for 1911, is,
in reality, much less. For the present
year, he points out, the legislature al
lowed S3,399,330 for maintenance and
an additional $4,000 for the expenses
of the board itself. For 1918 the total
asked for, including the boards eX.
penses, is $3,324,S50.
In addition to maintenance cost, Mr..
Brown declared, the board will ask
for $1,1O0,O0O for specific purposes, in
Guiding the erection of new buildings.
In 1912 such expenditures reached
1000 The cost of new buildings
is estimated at $500 for each person
cared for and the appropriation, if
allowed, would be apportioned as fol-
lows: Cleveland state hospital, $780,
900; Dayton, s140,O00; Gallipolis,
100000; institution for feeble-mind-
ed, $2S0,000. In all, the additions are
meant to accommodate 1900 more
persons. Miscellaneous improvements
will make up the remaining S26O,000
of the S1,100,0O0.

AWAIT END
Crowds Linger Around En-
peror's Palace in Sympa-
thetic Assembly.

TOXIC. July 2s.-No important change
in the emperors condition was noted at
the examination made by the physicians
at 6 o'clock this morning. At that hour
the emperors temperature was 1904;
pulse. 1O4. and respiration. -.
Vast throngs continue to gather around
the palace. This is more in the way of
sympathetic assembly. as the reports
from the sickroom are meager. Among
the notabilities who have arrived from a
distance are representatives of the for
mer Emperor of Korea and Count Vi,
representing the peers and gentry.
DR.. Kinnosuke Miura OF the Toxic
Imperial University. one of the physicians
in attendance on the emperor. said that
the symptoms were less acute. and respi-
ration had improved.
The body of young man was found m
the outer palace park at dawn. letter
in his pocket stated that he offered his
life for the emperor. An autopsy dis
closed that he had taken poison.
After the morning consultation Of
physicians it was announced that con-
ditions were little changed. Fatigue had
increased and the pulse and respiration
We're irregular. The emperor had little
sleep and was restless.
