MOVIES SHOW DANGERS
OF THE WHITE PLAGUE
Pictures Illustrative of Meth

ting the Disease.

Motion pictures are the latest recruits
to the army engaged in the warfare
against tuberculosis. and patrons OF
the movies" throughout the country
will shortly see picture play in which
the dangers of tuberculosis and the
methods adopted by science in combat
ing the disease are portrayed.
The picture play tells the story of
banker in small New York state
village his clerk and the clerks
daughter. The banker loves the daush-
ter of the clerk, and their marriage
has been planned.
Scoff at Warning.
Meanwhile. some literature is re-
ceived at the bank from the National
Association for the Study and Preven-
tion of tuberculosis, but the banker
and his clerk laugh at the idea that
tuberculosis can have any terrors for
those who live in the healthful sur
roundings of country community
However. the banker, instead of throw
ing the literature into the waste bas
ket, shoves it in his pocket, where it
remains forgotten.
His sweetheart has been trying to
conceal from her lover and her father
the distressing cough from which she
suffers, and the knowledge, impaired
by her old family physician, that she
is a victim of tuberculosis. One even
ing, however, the forgotten literature
falls from her fiance's pocket. and re-
mains unnoticed until the girl finds it.
She studies it, and resolves to go to
New York to learn how she shall
make her fight for life and health.
leaving notes for her father and her
lover telling them the truth.
Search Is Rewarded.
The search for the girl is shown in
the pictures. and the final scene depicts
her in a miserable hall bedroom in the
great city, where she is taking outdoor
treatment by day in a ferryboat day
camp. She is taken back home. where
she is treated in a new santarium,
which was built on the outskirts of
the village by her fiance. when he
found that even in such places tuber-
culosis is to be reckoned with.
The picture play. which is produced
by one of the big film companies, is
said to be exceptionally strong, inter-
esting and well acted.

Latest Move in Attempt to Dodge Pay

Springfield, Mass, July lS.-Manager
Dan O,Neil of the Holyoke baseball

President James II. 0'Purke made this
announcement tuesday. 0'Neil failing TO
pay the $50 fine imposed for punching
a Springfield player. The Holyoke man
ager has insisted that he win not pay
the fine, and announced he had suspend
ed himself for the rest of the season
as manager of the club. The meaning
of this is that 0'Neil is using every pos
sible effort to dodge the fine. He has
shown himself hard loser.
1t is now up TO 0'Rourke to show
who is running the league. If penalties
for violations of rules are scorned and
laughed at, then rules are no good
0'Neil would make joke out of the
league. as we'll as show himself up as a
poor sportsman Jim 0'Rourke has con-
sidered the case lightly from the start,
thinking 0'Neil would accept the penalty
after the sting of being fined had worn
off. 0'Neil says he Is determined not
to pay, though from the very outset he
has never attempted to explain his move
in assaulting the player. Jim O'Rourke
can collect that fine and it is up to him
to do so, or else have this league again
appear laughing stock.

Hitchcock Appears Before House
Committee
HE GIVES DETAILS OF 1903
Only Twenty-Five Contributions Were
Above Five Thousand Dollars-A
Few Friends of Party Gave

Washington, July 49, Postmaster
General Frank Hitchcock, who was Re
publican national chairman in 1908, yes.
terday gave the Senate committee which
is investigating campaign contributions
the first detailed accounting of campaign
finances it has obtained.
The total contributions for Taft's pres.
idential contest amounted to 81 600, 5lS
Hitchcock testified. OF the total amount
s620,l50 was collected by finance com
mittees in states and was expended in
the state campaigns lie said the net
amount of the national campaign fund
was 81 ,035 1858.
Large contributions, Hitchcock said
were received only at the beginning OF
tie campaign. Among those who sent
money were:
Charles p. Taft, the presidents broth.
er, $4,000; William n. Cromwell, S25.-
900; Mr. and Mrs Late Anderson, 49,

cock, "andsI think there were not more
than 25 or 80 as high as $1,000. 1t was
necessary to have funds at the beginning
Of the campaign and so we accepted
those liberal contributions
Hitchcock surprised the committee by
declaring in answer to question by
Senator Clapp that complete records OF
the campaign were at its disposal Those
books, he said, give the name of every
contributor in the 1908 campaign and
emount given There were further rec
oeds, he said accounting for every dollar
of expenditure. These will be delivered
to the committee.
Large additions were made to the gen
eral "war fund" by sending letters TO
$4,000 men of means in all parts OF the
country, asking each of them to contrib
ute $50. This plan produced contribu
items amounting to between 100000 and
100000, Hitchcock said.
!, "Were any contributions made by cor
porations2" asked Senator Paynter.
"There were none" Hitchcock an
swered. Congress passed law in 1907
prohibiting the acceptance of eontribu-
tions from corporations.

FORCING THE Y
TARIFF BILLS
Senate Democrats Start a
FiIibuster
THEY DEMAND ACTION
Or Will Prevent Adjournment-First
Shrmish Is Won by Minority
The Wool Schedule Will Be
Called Up To-day.

Washington. July Ex-senator Sim
mons of North Carolina yesterday gave
notice that he would to-day call up the
wool bill. He stated that he believed
| that revenue bills are of equal dignity
with appropriation bills. This caused
Senator Warren to point out that APP
preparations should come before revenue.
The Democratic forces in the Senate
practically won their demand for con-
sideration of the remaining tariff bills
and the excise tax bill. This was the
result of conferences on the floor at the
opening of Democratic flibuster.
Senator Simmons, in charge of the
tariff bills, told the Republican leaders
the Democrats would resort 20 every
parliamentary device to delay all bus
mess, unless assured there should be
vote on the tariff measures. He told
them the Democratic side stood solid
behind him. Senator Smoot Immediately
called number of other Republican
leaders in conference in the Republican
cloak room. So far as they could, the
Republican senators present agreed to
accede to the Democratic demand with
the understanding that the Democrats
abandon their flibuster and agree to
allow the tariff bills to go 10 ballot after
comparatively brief discussion. Formal
agreement among the Republicans was
not Immediately reached, owing to tile.
desire of some of the progressives to
offer amendments to the wool bill. The
Democratic leaders declined to stop their
filihuster against the sundry civil bill
until actual agreement was made. They
then forced the Senate to take up the
Panama canal measure.

WHEN GOLD WEARS
OFF, YOU LOSE
Uncle Sam Won't Pay for What Rubs
OFF the Coins in Circu-
lation.

Washington, July ls.--There are prob
ably millions of dollars in gold coin cir
cuIating in the United States which are
not worth their face value.
This fact has been called TO the at
tention of Lee McClung, treasurer of the
United States. but the government has
no desire or intention to recall the money
in order that only gold of standard value
may be in circulation. Should this gold
be presented to the treasury or sub
treasures, its owners would be the los
ers because OF the enormous wear caused
by abrasion in circulation.
While the government does not require
that gold coins shall be of standard
weight to be redeemed at their face val.
ne, it has established what is known
as "limit of tolerance" which per-
mits loss in weight Of one-half of one
per cent.

This Is Regulation of

man in the Senate yesterday, charged
that railroad influence is behind Great
Britain's protest against the Panama
canal bill. Both Senators 0'Gorman and
Lodge declared the United States is not
bound by the Hay -Pauncefote treaty to
give foreign ships all the privileges
granted American vessels. Senator
Lodge favored bill to rebate tolls to
American ships
Senator OGorman declared the United
States possessed the full right to give
American ships free passage but Sem
ator Lodge conceded that if the case
went to The Hague the United States
probably would lose.
Senators O'Gorman, Cummins and 9th
ers, declared that il the United States
had to construe the treaty literally
treatment, 1t would by the other terms
of the treaty be prevented from defend
ing the canal in case of war.
Senator Reed said that if a Japanese
fleet appeared at the western end of
the canal, bent upon passing through
to attack New York, the United States
would have no right, under such a con-
struction of the treaty to take any
step against it.
Senator Burton declared war would
suspend the operation of the treaty.
Senator MeCumber conceded the canal
would have to remain neutral even in
time Of war and that the United States
would be forbidden by the Hay Paunce-
fote treaty for taking any measure to
blockade or use the canal for its own
protection
Senator 0'Gorman declared British
shipping uninterested, but that railroads
in Canada and the United States had
secured the cooperation of the British
foreign office to embarrass the United
States in the latter's attempt to Sc
cure legislation to keep railroad con-
trolled Ships from the canal
