Washington, Dec. 19.-TWo men ana one
woman arrived at the White House to-
day after 40O0-milc walk from Los
Angeles TO Washington, and delivered 10
the President letter asking q govern
remedy which. they say. cured them or
the white plague. and which they believe
to he certain destroyer of tuberculosis.
Their proposition, broadly speaking. is
that the discoverer OF the remedy is Will
ing TO surrender his secret formula to
the government if the President Will
guarantee that ii will not fall into the
hands of charlatans. and that the govern
ment will treat free tubercular patients
too poor TO pay.
These three pilgrims. Alfred A. Berger
J. r. Price and Carrie II. Van Gaasbeek,
who apparently arc in prime physical
condition. carry certificates from rep
utable Los Angeles physicians that they
had tuberculosis and are now cured.
Following their recovery, they concluded
that as evidence OF their gratitude. they
would make the journey on foot across
the continent to ask Mr.. Wilson TO put
within the reach of all the people the
remedy which cured them.

INFLAMMABILITY
OF GOAL dust
DEALT With
[By Latest MALL

LONDON.-Tfle infiammability of
coal dust is question of wide inter
est which is dealt with in the second
report of the explosions in mines conf
mittee. The chemical composition of
coal is not yet known; the proportion
of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, ash, and
so forth in any given specimen of
local can of course be determined, and
it is known that the carbon exists as
carbon and hydrocarbons, but the
composition of the hydrocarbons has
Enot yet been discovered
Dr. r. " Wheeler and ]. Burgess,
the chemists to the committee, by
employing the method of destructive
distillation, have reached the conclu-
sion that coal is a conglomerate, in
which the cement consists of COM
pounds formed from the original res
ms and gums of the coal plant, while
the base has been formed by the de-
graduation products of the cellulose,
the carbohydrate which formed the
essential part of the structure of
these coal plants.
One type OF compounds, those
formed from the resins and gums in
fact, is more inflammable than the
other, and it is from this type that
the paraffins are obtained. In the
report it is stated that these COM
pounds can be extracted from the
coal by using pyridine as the solvent,
and thus the proportion of paraffin-
yielding constituents in several Goals
has been determined. In the case of
Goals containing from 20 to 80 per
cent of these more inflammable COM
pounds, it has been found that the
relative ignition temperatures were
not far from 900 degrees centigrade,
while when several Goals containing
only to per cent of these consti-
tuents we're tested, the relative igni-
ton point was above 400 degrees
centigrade. r.: ....<.
Many experiments are described in
the report, the proportion of ash pres
ent, for instance. is of course an i'm
poriant factor, influencing the igni-
ton temperature, and so is the physi-
cal condition of the coal, and the adj
dition of certain substances to the
coal dust tended to raise the ignition
point While the subject of inflam-
inability is of great general interest,
much of the report is perhaps more
adapted for the study of the chemist.

BEFORE THE HOUSE
Propose Abolition of Contract
Labor and State Use of
Convicts on Roads.
From stan Correspondent

TRENTON, \. J., Feb. 6.-FouI
bills which We're drawn by the Prison
Labor Commission, the provisions of
which include the abolition of con-
tract labor at the State prison and
introduce State-use. were submitted
in the Assembly yesterday afternoon
by Majority Leader Egan. They were
referred to the judiciary committee,
of which Mr.. Egan is chairman, and
he will use his efforts to have them
passed as soon as possible.
Under one of the bills the commits
sion may acquire by purchase or
condemna ton what land it requires
for quarries and for farming pur-
poses, and may erect buildings on
this land to provide for the housing
of prisoners while at work
ANY number of prisoners would be
allowed outside the prison enclosure
on parole by the provision of an
other bill. Their parole must be au-
thorized first. however, by requisi-
ton of the Prison Labor Commits
sion. in whose charge they would be
while so released. although still un-
der the legal custody of the principal
keeper Thus the labor commission
would not be responsible for escapes.
In another bill the State-use sys-
tenn is so extended as to include
school districts. as we'll as institu-
tions which the State supports in
whole or in part, and all State de-
partments and political sub-divis-
ans of the State The commission is
authorized by this bill to employ
instructors. foremen, guards and
clerical assistants School furniture
could be manufactured in penal in
stitutions under the terms of the
measure.
In the fourth bill the commissioner
of roads may apply to the Prison
Labor Commission for such prisoners
as he may desire TO employ in the
maintenance and repair of roads.
