AUCUSTHURSDAY
Tariff Bill Goes TO Democrats
for Approval.
Minor Changes Likely in In
come Tax Bill.

Washington, June 1S.-While ma
jority members of the finance commit
tee were preparing to take up the in
come tax and administrative sections
of the tariff bill today, Chairman
Simmons notified Majority Leader
Kearn that all the tariff sections
would be ready for the caucus Thurs
day
1.-The caucus can begin its work
even if the committee has not con-
cluded bv Thursday" said Senator
Simmons. but we hope to be able to
finish at least by Friday.
The income tax may be considerably
altered by the senate. The proposal
of the Senate subcommittee to add to
the $4,000 exemption additional
$500 for each minor child in a family.
is being favorably considered by some
members of the majority and may be
recomm ended to the caucus. The sub
committee has not adopted but sug-
gests for discussion, another amend
ment reducing the general exemption
from $4,000 to $4,000. Another pro-
vision will be incorporated in the bill,
giving mutual life insurance companies
an opportunity to escape the income
tax by conclusively proving they are
not conducted for profit and that their
surplus is participated in by policy
holders

ILLS OF HUMANITY
Woes of Race Discussed by
Doctors Convention.
Cancer, TrachOma, Blindness
and Other Ailments.

Minneapolis, June 1s.-In fifteen
| sectional meetings the second day of
the sixty-fourth annual convention of
! the American Medical association
opened today. Various subjects of a
technical nature were discussed.
Stomach Cancer Durable.
That cancer of the stomach is cura-
BILE was declared by DR.. William d.
Mayo of Rochester. MINI. "A favor
able diagnosis can be established by
simple methods" he asserted. "A his
tory of gastric disturbance precedes
cancer in a large number if not the
majority of cases. Operations for can
GER of the stomach should begin as an
exploration. Moderate Involvement of
the pancreaS does not necessarily pre-
clude operation. Palliative operations
have field of usefulness
Doctor Mayo gave a review of symp-
toms observed in one thousand pa
tients operated on for cancer of the
agency was discussed by DR.. Howard
A. Kelley of Baltimore, Md. Its ac-
ton, he said. is local and it is destined
to be potent aid in gynecology.
Radium Cures Some.
He asserted that radium will cure
some cancers and will eliminate many
cases of local recurrence which are
difficult to treat by many of the Gus
tomary surgical methods. Its impor-
lance in the treatment of fibroid
tumors is just beginning to be recog
nized- 1t checks hemorrhage and in
some cases materially decreases the
size of the growths in pelvic inflam-
matory disease. Its use is very hope
full, but this, he says, is still a new
field.
Trachoma Among Mountaineers.

A. STICKY of Lexington, KY, to Illus

mountaineers of eastern Kentucky.

years among the genuine Anglo
SaXons of these mountains led Doctor
Sticky to make a trip of observation
through five counties on muleback.
He describes unmistakable evidence
of the nervousness and destructiVeneSS
of the disease. He gave the delegates
what he considered solution of the
problem of Graduating the malady.
Poor Lo Much Sick"
Trachoma among the Indians was
discussed in paper by DIR. ]. w

The disease was most prevalent among
Indians of the boarding schools and
least among reservation Indians.
5000 NeedIessIy Blind.
Six thousand needless cases of
blindness occur in each year. This
statement was made by Henry Copley
Greene, agent for the conservation of
eyesight of the Massa chusetts commits
sion for the blind. This condition, Mr.
Greene said, was a challenge to the
medical profession and called for the
cooperation of occulist social work

AS POOR AS THEY.
This Landlord Is as Needy as His
Tenants

One of the city commissioners
brought pitiful case to Judge w.
H. kemper this morning; the case
will never be recorded in the annals
of the small debtors court. Both the
plaintiff and the defendant are pen
niless. In a miserable shack on the
East side live an old man, his wife
and a half-witted youngster They
haven't paid rent for months; they
never can pay it. The owner of the
shed, helpless invalid, depends upon
it for support; has no other income
Neither of the old couple is able to
work-the man is bed-ridden; the
woman earns pittance by. washing
Several years ago they adopted a boy
baby. In their imagination he was to
grow, earn money and support them.
The kiddie didn't talk like other
didn't totter about on I'M
steady legs when he should have been
walking. He grew into a hopeless
more to support
One of the city authorities investf-
gated the case this afternoon. 1t is
probable the couple will be placed in
some charitable institution
Its a pitiful case" said Mr.. KEN
per, but there are lots like it that

ANOTHER WAY.
Captain Waters Gives Up Court as
Means Releasing Mrs. LangdOn.

Judge Dana dismissed the proceedings
that were before him yesterday in conpec-
ton with the writ of habeas corpus that
Captain Waters sought vigorously to
don, of Ottawa. from lie Topeka state
hospital. This action was taken without
any formal decision from Judge Dana as
to whether or not there was merit in Cap
tain Waters insistence that a habeas
corpus proceeding was a proper one to in
woke for the release of a patient from the
state hospital who might be sane. The
dismissal of the proceedings was done on
the consent of Captain Waters, who did
not press his argument further on Mrs.
Iangdons right for trial as to her
sanity under a habeas corpus proceeding.
Captain Waters will take the matter up
with the hospital authorities and see If
Mrs. Langdon's release cannot be brought
about in the near future on the order of
the hospital authorities that she is sane.
Mrs Langdon was returned to the hos
pital. and her friends and relatives went
back TO Ottawa.

ablest lawyers at the Topeka bar, and
He has the confidence of every one.

nothing can be done until next winter,
but 1 spoke to Foster and Newlands
Che told me he was o. K.) and asked
them to apply for the vacancies made
by the Tennessee and Idaho senators.
They tod me they would, and there
the matter stands. I understood from
Teller that he did not want the posi-
ton, owing to his health and the ne
cessity of fighting. I wanted him, but
after that L spoke to Newlands.
Another letter from Oxnard to
Palmer:

committee. but 1 see no harm in hav-
ing Newlands try for it, too. 1 am

''Wakeman was with Uncle Joe for
four hours and feels that he accom-
plished something. though he did not
feel at liberty to tell me much in de-
tail: From here he went to Cincin-
natl, at Foraker'S request to meet him,
then to Cleveland and back to New
York. He is leaving no stone unturned
in his efforts to get real protectionists
put on to the committee on ways and
means to fill the five vacancies. He
is certain that Fordney, for one, will
be appointed, but did not mention any
other names His advice is, that we
have as many business and manufac-
turers' concerns as possible write to
the speaker at DanVille and without
mentioning or suggesting any names,
strongly request that real protection
lists be placed on the ways and means
com mittee to fill vacancies.
1T strikes me that if this is done,
and each one be urged to urge his
friends to do likewise, the next two
months ought to pile up such a lot
of letters as to at least make an i'm
preston on the speaker. You have
such a raft of friends among promi-
nent business men that~if you were to
devote a little to seeing and writing
them the result would be surely worth
while. OF course 1 do not calculate
that we will be able to control that
committee, in case they bring a Phil
ippine tariff reduction bill, but the
and the more strength develop
there the stronger we will of course
be in the senate"

Il merely suggested,'' said Hamlin,
ito some of the persons connected
with the sugar campaign that we re-
quest railroad officials, when oppor-
tunity offered, to set forth the advan-
tages of the sugar industry by word
or letter. There never was any re-
quest on railroad officials to contribute
funds for the sugar publicity cam
