Ross Urges Short Session.

Lieutenant Governor Ross is out
vigorously for a short session and has
written all the state senators relative
to a policy of quick action and linn
tied term. He argues that the state
has borne too heavy an expense in the
past, and it is his purpose to make a
record for the 1913 session. In this
he may be disappointed, as the change
in administration promises rush of
more than the ordinary quantity Of
business. With an array of new men,
bers, there is likely to be flood OF
measures for reform presented that
will consume a vast amount of time,
regardless of the ultimate results.

TUBERCLE BACILLI
KILL ALL OTHER GERMS
Discovery of French Bacteriologist
May Change Quest for a Cure
for tuberculosis.

PARIS, Dec. 2o.-Announcement has
been made by DR.. Pierre Roux, direc-
tor of the Pasteur institute, to the
academy of sciences, of discovery
by +. Marino, bacteriologist at the
institute, which, it is thought, may en-
tirely alter the aspect of the quest
for a cure for tuberculosis.
Marino observed that all other germs
which multiply rapidly together die
if cultivated with tubercle bacilli after
the lapse of ten or fifteen days. His
experiments have established the fact
that cultures of tubercle bacilE within
that period give off a poison fatal to
any form OF microbe. 4 few drops
of forty TO fifty-day tubercle culture
added to any culture medium prevents
the propagation of other germs.
This toxin, which has been isolated,
has characteristics different from other
toxins, much as those from diphtheria
and tetanus. It resists the action of
heat and is neutralized neither by anti
tuberculosis serums nor ordinary blood
serum. If anything, it is less affected
by the former than by the latter.
Further experimentation has shown
that this toxin when injected into ami
mails forms no coUutor-poison and it is
deduced that because OF this both vac
cines and serums intended for the cure
Of tuberculosis are without effect.

PARKER FILES BRIEF
IN THE GOMPERS CASE
Final Effort to Save Federation of
Labor Chief From Jail Made in
Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, Dec 29-Ou the
strength of brief filed today with
the supreme court of the United States
will depend whether Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
Of Labor, must go to Jail for contempt
of the District of Columbia supreme
court. The brief was fled by Alton
R. Parker, Jackson II. Ralston and
William L, Richardson. The contempt
sentence arose out of the injunction
of the district supreme court against
boycotting the Buck Stove and Range
company The district court of sp-
peaIs reduced the sentence imposed
by the trial court from one year to
thirty days. 1t also reduced Jail SEN
tences imposed on John Mitchell,
former member of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor executive council,
and Frank Morrison, secretary of the
American Federation of Labor, to a
$500 fine for each. Oral arguments
as TO the validity of all the sentences
will be made before the court about
January 5.
One of the principal points relied
upon by the labor leaders is that con-
tempt Of court is a crime, and that the
prosecution thereof is limited to three
years in the district.
