CAMPAIGN TO SAVE
COLUMBIA HOSPITAL
IS GIVEN IMPETUS
Conference With President
May Enlist Aid in Appeal
to Congress.

In the campaign in behalf of CO.
lumbia Hospital the Senate District
Committee will be asked by the
board OF women visitors, by the
board of trustees and probably by
the directors or a special committee
of the Chamber of Commerce to aid
the hospital. In addition to this the
influence of President Taft is hoped
for and this will be the object of the
conference Wednesday which the
committee of women have secured at
the White House. The board of trus-
tees, 1t was announced today by
President Mcmahon, also will try to
get audience with the President, and
Will outline the boards plans to him
for a new building on the present
site.
Senator Gallinger, chairman of the Sen
ate committee, has advised members of
the board of visitors that 1t will be Just
as well not to hurry in making ap-
peal to the District Committee, and
this appeal, first scheduled for last
week, then for this, is now likely to

was stated today. Senator GallinEer
told the officers of the board of visi-
tors that no good will come and harm
might by rushing matters and ap-
pearing before the committee until
substantial backing in the way OF
signatures and letters has been OBJ
tanned by the women.
The board of visitors will hold its
regular meeting Friday and will then
hear reports from the committed

The board of trustees will meet to.

AUNT DELLA HAS COME.

Millburys loss is Washington's gain. 1t is pleas
ant to reflect that Aunt Della" Torrey is with us
once more 1t was in the midst of bewidering lights
and the press of multtudes participating in the silver
wedding anniversary that she was last with US.
Today she comes in the midst Of broodng
peace which is only disturbed by the mutter of the
coming political conflict She will be a soothing
influence, supplemented perhaps with the sustaining
power of an occasional apple pie.
Gould there be more poetic Offset to the Baby
Grace appeal? Age and infancy have each peculiar
charm.
Whatever may be the political outcome, "Aunt
Della" will hold warm place in the hearts of her

As the courts have held that the
amendatory act Of 1910 has removed
from the deportation provisions of the
law the three-year Limitation, the Com
missioner General anticipates letter re-
suits In the control of the white slave

more effective remedy is provided and
because the gradual general dissemina-
tion of the knowledge that these classcs

The report declares that Chinese

the Mexican and Canadian borders In
great numbers, and If caught and ar.
rested they fight court proceedings most
cleverly. 1t Is some weeks at least be-

missioner General Keefe, and in the
meantime a case for the Chinaman is sc
fully prepared that It Is difficult to win

Coolies Brought In.
Young coolies are brought into the

Commissioner Keefe makes the follow

VAUDEVILLE'S NEW STAR.

There is much ado in London Sir Beerbohm
Trees debut in vaudeville. 1t would be so much
more dignifed of him to keep putting on Shake
Speare in his own theater, the standpatters say,
even with the prospect of being haed to the bank
ruptcy court AS it is Sir What s-his-name-Some
call him Herbert and others Beerbohm, which is by
right his family name-iS happy and comparatively
affluent for the first time in years. The audience
that welcomed him to the variety stage heard from
his own lips how glad he was Ito break bread in
variety" or, in other words, get something more
than the crumbs falling from the theatrical table,
and how sure he was that the new regime would be
Of great value to the dramatic profession.
1t is case of belated foresight with Sir Herbert.
Bernhardt far more brilliant ornament of the
stage, found relief in vaudeville long ago, and in
London too Over here great many of our most
gifted actors have done their two turns day from
time to time. And why not? Vaudeville is an hon.
orable estate, and lucrative to boot.
At the same time it ought to give much salts
faction to the conservatives on this side of the ocean
to note that the American actor who occupies posi-
ton corresponding to Trees can stick to Shake
Speare and make go of it.

From the upper reaches of the Chesapeake
comes the cheering news that the bluebrd is back

in these columns, thai the hollyhock was to be re-
stored to its place of honor in the od-faShioned

diets that In the next decade 10000

States dangerously diseased persons,
Commissioner Keefe cites that the COM
panies were caught no less than 24t
times, 800 fine being assessed in each
case. Besides this. S,767 aliens were re.
turned to the country Of origin as being
defective physically, mentally, OF
morally. The commissioner suggests
that a physical qualification for entry
be set up. the standard being equivalent
to that required of recruits for the
navy. He would fine steamship com,
panies twice az much as now for i'm.

Along with the -post-mortem re-
port upon the disaster to the battle
ship Maine, comes Rear Admiral Fred
erick T.. Chadwick's s new history of the
Spanish War, the second
work in his series entitled THE Rela-
tlons of the United States and Spain.
The two large volumes, dedicated to
thor purposed, a documentary history,
the record being set forth chiefly in
official orders, telegrams~ and corre-
spondence, and some eXecTable maps.
Such a compilation has interest pri-
marily, of course, to historians and stu
dents. Almost too rigidly does the au-
thor exclude his own personality. But
to the general reader the letters, clip
pings, and quoted comments supply
very considera BILE dramatic interest, and
introduce much more than mere names
and records of the vital personalities
concerned in the exciting events OF
Manila bay, Santiago harbor. San Juan
hill, and Siboney. They also afford In
! teresting glmpses of the Spanish point
! of View-Quite delicious in the case of
! the proclamation issued by the COVER
| nor general of the Philippines, who
hurIs his denunCiations upon ''the North
| American people, constituted of all the
! from those States without cohesion. and
without history" OF more sympa-
| ;hetic interest are the quoted narratives
/ of ;he American commanders who res
| Cued the Spanish crews from the burn
| ing ships of CerVeTaS ill-fated squad
ron, and the reception of the Spanish
| admiral on board the American ships.
The fine Chivalry between soldier ana

QUIT THE MYSTERY!

The Lorimer case, with its constant occurrences
of nasty intimaons of suggestions about improperly
or worse of broad hints at a systematic manufacture
of testimony and manipulation of Witnesses is rest
ins, very badly on the public stomach.
The gentlemen of the committee will make no
mistake if they decide, in justice to themselves, to
hold few executive sessions with the doors open.
Let the public look inside and learn what is back
of this mystery. Give it chance to judge with the
same complete information that the committeeman
enjoy.
This affair has reached the point where nothing
that happens in open session be understood with
out knowledge of what goes on in secret sittings.
There are reports of factona division, of bad blood
of extreme ill-feeling among members of the sub
committee.
1t is plain as can be, that before the whole affair
is disposed of, conditions going to become even
more nauseous than they we're last year when Lori

THERE ARE
INVITATIONS NOW
But NEWBROS HERPICIDE WAS
THE FIRST DANDRUFF GERM
DESTROYER.

A discovery can be made but once.
After that all similar acts become em-
u%lation, imitation, or an attempt at
substitution,
Newbro's Herpicide is a discovery.
1t was the first remedy ever given to
science to kill the dandruff germ. 9th
err preparations have since been Offer
ed to the public, some similar in APP
pearance, some in odor, but all bring
ing the daring promise of doing the
same things that Herpicide has been
doing for years,
Every article Of this kind Is merely
one mor instance of vicious emula-
tion, vile imitation or a base attempt
at substitution.
The something just as good" story
is old, why give it thought? Herpi-
eide is the Original Remedy. 1t kills
the dandruff germ and prevents the
hair from falling. Itching of the scalp
stops almost with the first application.
Don't be deceived by Something
Just as good If your own druggist
does not keep the genuine dandruff
germ destroyer, Newbro's Herpiclde,
so to one who does.
Newbro's Herpicide in SOC and $1.0O
sizes is sold by all dealers who guar
antee it to do all that is claimed. If
you are not satisfied your money will
be refunded.
Send lOc in postage for sample and
booklet to The Herpicide Co., Dept, R,
Detroit, Mich. Applications may be
obtained at good barber shops.
