WHITE PLAGUE FIGHT.
Association Of Commerce May Aid In
Procuring Legislation on
the Subject.

St. Paul.-The plan mapped out by
the committee appointed year age
by Governor Eberhart to draft anti
tuberculosis legislation will be the pro
gram probably supported by the AS
ISOLATION of Commerce in its efforts to
obtain advanced legislation on this
subject.
The committees report already has
gone to Governor Eberhart, but was
not announced until this week, when
Or. II. Longstreet Taylor, member
OF the committee, divulged the sub
stance OF the report. DR.. Taylor also
is chairman of the public health COM
mittee of the Association of Commerce
and secretary of the state anti-tuber-
culosfs association. The three organ
izations propose to work hand in hand,
DR.. Taylor says, to obtain anti-tuber-
culosis legislation.
The program mapped out by the
governors tuberculosis legislative
committee, which probably will be
pushed by the Association of Com
merce and anti-tuberculosis associa-
ton, has in mind the following pro-
jects:
First-The establishment OF county
tuberculosis hospitals for advanced
cases of tuberculosis, with competent
physicians in charge; financial aid
from the state desired.
Second - Completion of the state
sanatorium at Walker, with appropria-
ton of $150,00O for the work.
Third-Estab lishment of a tubercu-
losis commission to supervise all tu-
berculosis sanatorium work; levy of
a of a mill annually, which would
mean about 100000, for four consecu-
tive years.
Bills covering these features are in
Guided in the legislative committees
report to the governor
In asking for $150,000 for the imme-
date completion of the state sana-
forum at Walker, DR.. Taylor says six
ty more patients can be accommodate
ed there when servants quarters and
a dining room and kitchen are con-
structed. The 100000 annually for
the tuberculosis commission, DR.. Tay-
lor says, would be used in providing
hospital care for tubercular patients.

TO DISCARD PLANT.
Lighting System at st. Peter, One of
Oldest in State, Breaks
Down.

st. Peter.-Boiler trouble at the mn
nicipal lighting plant has necessitated
closing down the station, and current
is being secured from the Consumers
Power Company of Mankato. AS re-
suit of the breakdown, there is talk
OF discarding the municipally-owned
station, and entering into contract
with the company.
st. Peters municipal plant is one of
the first established in Minnesota, and
the system, particularly the street
lighting system, is of type now obso-
lete. There has been much deteriora-
ton, both at the plant and on the pole
line, and the city faces the necessity
OF making heavy expenditure for it's
replacement
Some weeks ago one of the boilers
burned out, and although repairs have
been made it is impossible to operate
the plant with this boiler Yesterday
the second boiler went out of commits
sion and the plant was closed. Bids
on new boiler have been called for,
but it is not likely the aldermen will
take action until they learn the senti-
ment of the taxpayers. This probably
will be shown at a public meeting
Tuesday night, when representatives
of the Consumers Power Company
will submit a proposition to furnish
current for light and power purposes.
1t is expected the company will Of
fer to supply electricity at trifle
more than switchboard cost, which
would relieve ST. Peter of the cost of
plant maintenance. Recently the al
dermen have obtained. estimates of the
probable cost of replacing the street
lighting system with new type mag
netite arcs. This item is placed at
$4,000, but is considered justifiable by
the fact that experts rate the plants
antiquated pole line at less than so
per cent efficiency.
A new boiler will cost at least $4,000,
and many business men favor using
this money to replace the pole line.
They would contract with Mankato
for current, and use the old plant for
operating the waterworks system.

Man Accused of First One.

Newark, N. j., Dec. 19.-President-
elect Wilson's life has again been
threatened by a letter writer. The
letter was mailed in New York Dec.
IL, received by the governors secre-
tary at Trenton the following day,
and turned over to the postal author
tiles. 1t is now in possession of
United States Assistant Attorney
Lindabury, who declines to discuss it.
The receipt of the second threaten
ing letter became known at the ar
raignment of Jacob and Warren Dunn
and Seely Davenport of Wharton, the
three so-called mountaineers who were
charged with having sent Governor
Wilson on Nov. II last letter de-
manding $4,000 under threat of death.
The hearing was not concluded, but
United States Commissioner Stockton
dismissed the case against Warren
Dunn and took under advisement a
motion to make similar ruling in the
case of Davenport.
Strong Case Against Dunn.
Against Jacob Dunn, alleged author
ment made out strong case, Com
missioner Stockton said. He held
Dunn, pending the conclusion of the
hearing when Joseph Tumulty, Gov
ernor Wilson's private secretary, will
be called to testify that he received
the letter. Although Mr.. Tumulty
was under subpoena he did not at
tend Tuesdays hearing, having ar
ranged with Commissioners Stockton
to be absent. 1t was thought at that
time that his testimony would not be
needed. ...
Wilson Not at Hearing.
Governor Wilson, also under sub
it was said he would not be required
to do so inasmuch as the letter never
reached him, but was intercepted by
Mr.. Tumulty.
The second letter threatening the
governors life, was unsigned and a
dozen or more secret service men and
detectives are seeking to learn the
author.
1t is understood that the missive
did not reach the governor, but was
intercepted like the first one by Mr..
Tumulty.
Many of the secret service men and
detectives working on this case were
present at the hearing. Whether the
second letter was the outgrowth of
the first or was connected with it in
any way, Mr. Lindabury declined to
say.

added that the Democratic party now
had arrived at a point where it must
