THE LOUISE A CARRIER
 OF DREADED TYPHUS
Only Insect That Distributes It.
 Nearly 300 Cases in New York.

Washington, Sept. 2S.-Dr Joseph Goldberger and Dr. John F. Ander son of the hygienic laboratory, United States public health service. today told the Fifteenth International Congress on Hygiene and Demography they had traced typhus fever to the iouse, as a carrier, and that their investigations had disclosed nearly 300 cases of the disease in New York, as well as a number in Chicago, Philadelphia, Ball. tlmore and Washington, although it was thought that typhus had not wis., ited America for many years.
 The disease, however, was found to be In a mild form, but they said mild forms of disease become malignant. Typhus fever is one of the six diseases the United States considers so dan gerous that special quarantine reg ulations have been issued against it. The malady usually visits those who live In crowded and insanitary habita- tions and is poor mans disease.
 Why the louse should be the only insect that carries typhus they have been unable to determine. One of these insects which bites a patient during thesfever period will be able in about four days afterwards to give the disease to any unfortunate victim he may chance to fasten upon. Ex- periments have shown also that mon> keys may contract the disease through the bites of lice.

 T am for the nomination of MT. StrauS for governor, overthrowing Tammany domination in the state. and insuring an able, sincere. patriotic ad- ministration," said Senator Newoomb in his statement. T shall, if neces- sary, present his name. If this is an open convention he will be nominated. i"
 This declaration of Senator New comb which created keen discussion among the early arriving delegates to the convention came close on the heels of telegram from Mir. Straus in re- ply to telegraphic inquiry by a delegate asking the former member of President Roosevelt's cabinet if he would accept such nomination or would your acceptance be conditional on the platform or other contingent considerations"
 MT. Straus replied to this inquiry q appeal to the people of all parties to give me their support upon my public record and upon the covenant in my platform with the people of the Empire state."
 The Straus telegram, coupled with Senator Newcomb's declaration were subject matters that quickly came un- der consideration by State Chairman Barnes, Senator Root and other lead CTS
 T am not at all surprised" said Chairman Barnes after reading the telegram, that Mir. Straus is unwill- ing to accept nomination which does not carry with it endorsement of the political party to which he belongs"

The current was turned on at 12.09.13, and Jordan was officially pronounced dead at 12.14.30.

JonJin. Mo. Sept. 23.-Gov. Herbert Hadiev of Missouri, in the opinion or Colonel Roosevelt, as he expressed II today. will join the progressive party: T not merely hope. but believe, salo Colonel Roosevelt. that Governor Hadley will yet stand with us"
 Colonel Roosevelt saw nothing oI he governor during his trip through he state. When he went to St. LOUIS lo speak at the beginning of his tour, the statement was published that he had received letter from the govern or. The colonel would say nothing about if. Governor Hadley hes ai- ready said he soon would make public a statement of his position. 7 AttaoLs National Committee.
 Beginning the day in Kansas. Col onel Roosevelt came into Missouri and spoke at Springfield and Joplin with a number of short speeches from the train at other points. He attacked the republican national committee, say ing 1t had forever separated the peo- pie from the republican party and had 'sboarded up the party until you could not get into 1t with a jimmy"
 He told the people in Speaker Champ Clark's home state that MT. Clark had been beaten in the demo- cratic convention, although he had beaten Governor Wilson in the pri- maries. q
 In the crowds at Lamas there was a man with huge banner bearing the words: we want Taft. Let well enough alone"
 The banner attracted Colonel Roose- veM's attention. Bending over the ng nor h<a frrdNfnA fn fhA man with the banner and said:
 Any man who supports the receiv- CT of stolen goods stands on level with the receiver of the stolen goods. He is a dishonest man and is unfit to associate with honest men,"

 Yellow Appropriate to Taft
 When the colonel reached Spring field he found anothtf Taft banner and saw a number of meu who were wear ing Taft badges.
 sT have noticed several Taft badges fin your town" he said in his speech, "and they are the appropriate color of yellow. There never was yellower performance than that of the repub- lican managers at the Chicago convenv ton, and the badges are just the right color. The man who puts on one shows that he has a yellow streak somewhere"
 National Committee Mostly Shady.
 The colonel whaclxed the republican national committee in his speech at Joplin.
 The republican national commit tee" he said, "is composed of fifty three men, most of them shady"
 All of them?" said a man in the crowd.
 Well, pretty nearly all," the col- onel said. There were just about enough of the other kind to have saved Sodom and Gomorrah."
 Colonel Roosevelt left here for Ok iahoma tonight.
