norneed today by DR.. Ward J. McNeal
of the New York Post Graduate hospital
member of the commission, at a confer
ence here of southern physicians.
Nearly 20D physicians, students of the
disease, were here for the conference.
They came from nearly every southern
state.
DR.. McNeal summarized the commits
sion's findings thus:
/. The supposition that the ingestion OF
good or spoiled maize is the essential
cause OF pellagra is not supported by
our study.
2. Pellagra is in all probability specific
infectious disease communicable by means
at present unknown.
3. We have discovered no evidence in
eliminating Buffalo gnats in the causation
of pellagra. IL it is distributed by a blood
sucking insect, the stable fly would ap-
pear to be the most probable carrier.
4. We are inclined to regard intimate
association in the household, and the con-
tamination of food with the excretions of
pellagrns as possible modes Of distribu-
tion of the disease
5. No specific cause of pellagra has been
recognized.
Although none of the assembled ply
sicians was able to suggest a specific
remedy for the disease, DR.. C. II. LAWN.

prisoner to remain IN Jail to avoid pro-
ceedings that may be taken against him
under the federal statute by the dominion
government must not be considered and
that the jail of this district is not to be
used as a house of refuge for such pur-
poses"
The court sustained the writ, saying:
Whether the said Harry X Thaw wishes
to exercise and enjoy his personal liberty
or not, he is entitled to his full liberty
and he is hereby liberated and discharged
from his present detention in the said
jail"

night f. Blake Robertson will preside.

Sherbrooke from Montreal on a spe-

A quick verdict is expected though
Thaw's lawyers probably will appeal
to a dominion chief justice, J. c. DOH

the absence of any directing head of

HENDERSON IS HERE
| TO DISCUSS RATES,
incidentally Talks of Recent
Political Events
MUCH ENCOURAGED
Thinks Recent Speeches of Various
Candidates Have Tended to In
iure Rather Than to
Aid Candidacy


For the purpose of conferring with
Judge Samuel d. weaxley in reference
to the argument against the Central of
Georgia railroad, which will be delivered
in Huntsville tomorrow, Charles Hender-
son. president of the railroad commis--
sion. who reached the city last night,
will spend today in Birmingham
The arguments will be heard by Judges
Grlbb Shelby and Sheppard and will be
delivered by Judge Weakiey, for the state,
and Mai r. r. Steiner of Montgomery,
for the railroad. Mr.. Henderson will at
tend the session Of the court. and he
states that the arguments will probably
be completed in one day. Friday.
The commission has ordered the Central,
along with the Louisville and Nashville,
to put 21s-cent passenger rate into ef-
feet The railroad is endeavoring 10
avoid the necessity Of doing so.
Mr.. Henderson Smiles
Mr.. Henderson, considered by many
the leading candidate for governor, feels
much pleased in regard to his prospects
When asked concerning recent develop
ments. he said:
II read the speech which Captain Kolb
delivered in Birmingham. and read this
morning, in The Herald Mr.. Corners
petition for a federal investigation of AN
alleged insidious lobby alleged to be CON
Quoted at the present time in Alabama
by the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road"
Mr.. Henderson was smiling by the time
he completed that sentence. He declined
to discuss the references, considered caus-
tic, which Kolb made to him In regard
to the petition for federal Investigation
filed by Mr.. Conner. Mr.. Henderson added:
Mr.. Conner retold an old story, dating
back, as matter of fact, to 1904 He had
proof of the railroads political activity
OF that time. He presented no proof of
its activity in 1901 and none to sustain
his position that the railroad is trying
to defeat him now. Therefore it seems
that he concluded his remarkable paper
with an anti-climax.
Plans Aggressive Fight
Mr.. Henderson believes that all of the
sreeches which have been made UP to the
present time nave served to weaken the
sreakers-"from Hobson down the line''
as he put it.
AT any rate, he added none of tho
speakers seem to have grown stronger.

mission was and is burdened. | am writ
