-
Tells Congress of Success
He Has Had.

Londcn, Aug. 12.-The closing day
of the International Medical Congress
saw all sections in session. 'Leprosy"
was discussed in the bacteriology sec
ton. Major Rost Of the Indian med
ical service said that after years of
experience he had reached the con-
clusion that cases we're contracted
through infected clothing. He declar-
ed "incurable" might be erased from
textbooks in dealing with leprosy.
Since he adopted the vaccine treat
ment in 1909 he had, he said, dis
charged four cases as cured. At pres
ent he had 80 cases under treatment
by the vaccine method. He asserted
a number of cures were effected by
the old Lepoulin method.
The congress was brought to an end
this afternoon by a speech by Hon.
John Burns, president of the local gov.
ernment board. In the course of Mr..
Burns address several suffraget in
terrup;ers. including a French woman,
were thrown out Of Albert Hall. There
was a large crowd in attendance and

BRADY CHAIRMAN
STATE TAX BOARD

Springfield, Ill, Aug. 12.-The mem
bers of the state board of equaliza-
ton, when they called upon Governor
Dunno today with a suggestion that
they be given increased powers which
the governor advocated vesting in his
proposed tax commission, were met
with a reiteration of the governors
declaration favoring the abolishing Of
the board.
The board of equalization is un-
fairly administered" said the COVER
nor. Its work is farcial. Corpora
tions have been favored at the ex-
pense of the people"
The new board organized this morn
ing, electing State Auditor Brady
chairman and John Coffey OF Chicago
secretary.
This meeting is remarkable because
this is the first time since the board
of equalization was established that
the board has had majority of demo
Gratis. Even under the Altgeld admin
istration 20 years ago when the dem
ocrats swept the state, the board of
equalization remained republican.
