VICTIMS Of DISEASE
FLOOD SOUTHWEST.
GOV. COLoUlTT OF TEXAS MAKES
PERSONAL APPEAL TO GOVERN
OR CRUCE FOR COOPERATION

Oklahoma City, Okla, Nov. l.
Governor 0. P. Colquitt Of Texas,
in a personal appeal 10 the chief eX-
ecutiyes Of the various states Of the
union, asking for cooperation IN be-
hall Of the diseased who are flock
ing - the southwest in the hope OF
securing benefits from climatic con
ditions, points 70 the fact that the
southwest is unrrepared TO offer az
sistance 70 the many who come within
her borders lacking in sufficient funds
TO properly care for themselves.
In a communication TO Governor
Cruce Of Oklahoma, Governor Col
quit calls attention TO the fact that
the records of one southwestern city
in Texas, show that in the past five
years six natives Of Oklahoma died
Of tuberculosis, and that eleven bod
les Of consumptives were shipped
back 10 this state for burial, He
asserts that the records Of other cit
les in the southwest will show similar
facts proportionate 10 population. At
tention is called TO the lack Of prepar
alton 70 accommodate inyalids with
out funds, there being no free hos
pitals in any Of the southwestern
states, and assistance is not render
- destitute invalids by any organiz-
cd charitable associations. Inyalids
can not hope 70 secure assistance
from private individuals, because the
demands for aid by strangers has ex-
hausted the patience OF the people.
What is true aB pointed out by
Governor COlqui,t is also true in Ok
lahoma Dr.. J. c. Nahr state COM
missioner Cf health, calls attention
20 the fact that Oklahoma has as yet
failed 10 make any provision for the
care OF tuberculosis patients, either
in the incipient stage or in the ad-
vanced stage. Dc spite this fact many
communities in Oklahoma have been
forced 10 assume more or less respOn-
sibility for the care Of consumpt!ves
who have sought this climate, yet
who are in no condition TO earn their
own livelihood These individuals are
in a class, made up OF the most ad-
- ,rrh
are usually lacking in necessary
funds, so that, through no fault OF
theirs, they soon become a public
charge, and are treated as paupers,
and when death relieves them Of their
sufierings. they are accorded a pau
per's burial
While the experinc of Oklahoma
in this regard is not as extensive as
that OF Texas, as reported by Gev-
ernor Colquitt, the situation is con-
sidered by Commissioner Mahr as one
that should serve as a warning to
Oklahoma, and cause general appre-
citation OF the fact that much of the
expense Of caring for paupers would
be eliminated were this health-seek-
ing transit class convinced that Ok
lahoma is unprepared to give them as
sistance.
The appeal FOR aid from the state
Of Teaxs is worthy the most serious
consideration by the general fuhlic,

CASE Will CONE
BEFORE POLLOCK

Judge Charles A. Pollock Of the Cass
county district court viii be called
upon in a few days to hear the case of
Hon. ]. NJ. Hammond of Ashley
against the republican county central
committee
The case was scheduled for a hear
ing before Judge Pollock this morn
ing in the district court, but owing to
the Sperry trial now occupying the
courts attention, it has been put off
for an indefinite period.
Some weeks ago politicians from all
parts of Mcintosh county gathered
together for the purpose, SO it was
stated to GUST Mr.. Hammond from
the craftsmanship of the republican
central committee. Mr.. Hammond
was present and had four proxies to
be used when the question was put to
a vote. But in this instance they
were thrown out
The result was that when a vote
was taken Mr.. Hammond was declared
removed from Office. He decided to
take the matter to court and 1t came
UP before Judge Allen Of Glendale,
who in turn transferred it to Fargo.
The question is whether or not it was
legal to refuse to consider the use of
proxies in the former meeting.

Washington, March 13.-Taft
pointed out to the members of the
foreign relations and Texas con-
gressional delegation at a confer
ence at the White House, that the
neutrality laws of the United
States are not specific enough, and
Is reported to have said that unless
congress enacted new measures 1t
would be difficult to preserve the
peace with Mexico.
After the conference, the senate
committee on foreign relations
held a meeting and framed joint
resolution which will prohibit the
shipment OF arms from the Unit
ed States into any state on the
American continent which is in a
condition of disorder. The resolu-
ton would impose heavy penalties,
the intention being to make It
Immediately applicable in the
American situation. The resoIu-
tion was adopted unanimously,
the committee reported to the SEN
ate Immediately.
The president appealed to the
conferees to help him preserve
peace by preventing violations OF
the present neutrality laws along
the Mexican border and suggested
that some steps be taken at once
for the enactment Of more ade-
quate neutrality laws.

Believes In Government Owner
ship Of Express

Madison, Wis, March 13.LaFol-
lette in his campaign platform. given
out here today. declares among other
things, his belief in the initiative and
referendum and recall and direct
nominations, government ownership
and the operation of express compan-
les. He opposes ship subsidy, the AL
drich currency plan and Canadian
reciprocity.
LaF'ollette says it is not his pur-
pose at this time to discuss the is
sues, or indeed to more than suggest
his position upon the vitally impor-
tant ones.
He says: 'I believe in the initia-
tive and referendum and recall and
direct nominations and elections, not
only as applied to states, but also in
the extension of these principles ia
the nation as whole. The equaliza-
ton of burdens Of taxation through

HOMESTEAD
BILL TO PASS
Hanna Hopes to Get Measure
Through House

d Washington, D. c., March 1s,-The
house committee on public lands late
yesterday afternoon reported favor
ably the three-year homestead bill.
The senate already has passed the
bill. which was introduced by Sena-
tor Borah Of Idaho. Representative
Hanna introduced the first bill au-
thorizing the secretary of the interior
to issue patents to homesteaders who
have lived for three years on their
land. The house committee took the
senate bin and inserted some pro-
visions of the Hanna bill, also amend
ing it to get by certain objections Of
the department. Hanna Is confident
the bill will pass the house and be-
come a law The interior department
reported adversely on the measure.
but removal Of some of its objections
by amendment will make the passage
of the bill by the house less difficult.
The house committee amended the
senate bill to make the three-year
provision applicable to all existing
homestead entries, including entries
made under the enlarged homestead
act and the reclamation act and to
definitely and specifically grant home
stead entrymen a six-months' period
after date of filing within which to
establish residence on the claim. The
bill permits entrymen and families to
be absent from the claim five months
OF each year Of the residence period.

FORMER NORTH
:. DAKOTA Man

Minot, n. D. March 13.-W. e.
Kirsch. formerly agent OF the Rogers
Lumber Co., at Kenmare and now con-
nected with the Security Lumber Co,
at Saskatoon, was severely injured in
the wreck of the Canadian Northern
at Saskatoon, when the Regina Sleep
er, Kipling, crashed through the Can
adian Northern bridge and fell fifty
feet to the frozen bed Of the river be-
low.
Mr.. Kirsch had his leg broken and
was badly bruised about the body.
At the switch to the Goose Lake
line, the rear trucks left the track.
Apparently no one noticed the acci-
dent in time to give any warning to
the engineer before the train was up
on the bridge. Then. according to
passengers. some one pulled the bell
rope, but It was too late. The derail-
ed car slid off the heavy twelve inch
supports on the west side OF the
bridge, breaking them like match
wood and tore the bottom of the road
bed into pieces

GREAT NORTHERN
OFFER ACCEPTED
SCORES or FARMERS TO TILL
DEMONSTRATION TRACTS
UNDER DIRECTION
OF EXPERTS.

Devils Lake N. D., March 13.-The
most enthusiastic meeting Of the
farmers Of Ramsey county in recent
years was held at the courthouse yes
terday afternoon when +. r. Crane,
agricultural extension agent OF the
Great Northern, explained the great
development plan which has been per-
fected by the Hill road. Before he
had completed his story, offering to
furnish seed, pay So an acre and give
the farmers the crops on five-acre
plots, he had received scores of offers
from farmers in every direction from
the city.
The offer of $S an acre for rental ap-
peals to the farmers as nothing else
ever has. Everyone willingly signed
the agreement to cultivate the laud
under the direction OF the expert, a
special clause applying to fertilization.
Barnyard manure will be used where it
is accessible and can be properly used,
otherwise a commercial fertilizer win
be ordered by the Great Northern, the
price OF which will be deducted from
the rental.
1t is the primary object to show the
farmers actually what can be done by
fertilization. Corn, oats, barley and
wheat will be the main crops raised on
the plots, while fax will be cultivated
in some instances. When q farmer
sees a five-acre field yield thirty,
forty or forty-five bushels Of wheat
and a large field across the road yield
ing only fifteen or twenty. 1t is beIiev-
ed the object lesson of fertilization
will impress itself very strongly on
his mind.
