WHAT DR.. Won RUckIN
SAYS OF HIS DISCOVERY

ASHENlLLE. y. c.. June iS.-That
he has not discovered a cure for tu-
berculosis. but that his vaccine now
being investigated by the United States
health service will prevent the disease
was the declaration OF DR.. Karl vOr
Ruckin in a formal statement issued
here.
Attention was first attracted to DR.
Won Ruckin by Senator John w. Kern
of Indiana. who was reported to have
received the vaccine. The doctor stated
however, that he wished to correct the
impression that he claimed to have
found a cure for tuberculosis and to
warn sufferers from the disease against
attempting trip to Asheville. He
said that cure for the disease was
not for man to give in the present
state, of medicine.
This preparation, which | first an
nounced in May. 1912, was intended
primarily for protective vaccination
against the requirement of tuberculosis
and believe its value and practicability
for this purpose were demonstrated
beyond any reasonable doubt" said Dr.
Won Ruckin.
''The vaccine i made from a culture

Moreover, the government would
have considerable difficulty proving that
the organization and drilling Of Ulster
UniOnist clubs Of themselves constitute
sedition or treason. But it is to mo-
tives Of expediency rather than to pure
ly legal reasons that the governments
inaction must be aScribed. The au-
thorities are fully aware that so intense
is the present popular feeling in Ulster
against home rule that any attempt at
this time to suppress these clubs would
merely precipitate the conflict. Any
how the present administration is none
too sure of another years continued
tenure Of Office to make such a pro-
cedure politically advisable. Recent
by-electiOnS have resulted either in
Unionist victories or in tremendous
increases in the number Of UniOnist
voters, and there is the ever present
danger of an adverse division in par

and the more than possible defeat at

listers present attitude is that it
will surely fight if home rule becomes
an established fact-but that there is
still a chance that the present parlia-
ment will go out of existence before it
can place the bill on the statute books.

flights made last week were practice
ones by Lieutenants Carberry and Tall

CONGRESSMAN TAvENNER'S
VIEWS FROM WASHINGTON
BY Congressman Clyde II. Tavennel

BY Congressman Clyde n. Tavenner
WASHINGTON, June tS.-A land of
oppression, misery and sorroW-that is
the picture drawn of the Hawaiian su-
gar plantations by testimony brought
out by the senate lobby investigation.
The very crowd Of men whose legis-
l6tive activities in Washington brought
forth the recent lobby accusation from
President Wilson are the representa-
tives of rich planters whose cruel ex-
ploitation of their wage slaves has no
counterpart under the Stars and
Stripes.
These sugar growers, earning profits
Of so to 90 per cent and asking for
the continuance Of tax of more than
500, 100000 annually on the American
people that they may continue to reap
their golden rewards, are coming be-
fore congress in the name Of "prO-
rope" while they maintain labor
standard that is blot on American
civilization.
So terrible are working conditions
in Hawaii that European and Asiatic
laborers. deceived into coming to the
island. literally starve themselves in
order to save up passage money for
San Francisco and escape the trap into
which they have been inveigled. "A
horde Of these pauper laborers are
beginning to arrive in California, in
their extremity willing to work for
any price, thus depressing wages Of
Americans on the Pacific coast.
Incidentally, Senator Reed of Mis-
souri,, a member Of the lobby commit
tee, showed that a report exposing
this condition was written by Daniel F.
Keefe. commissioner of immigration.
who went to Hawaii at the request of
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation Of Labor. to study
the industrial conditions. The report.
however, was never published 1t was
suppressed by the Taft administration.
The bureau Of labor sent man to
Hawaii to get out another report on
labor conditions. This report flattered
the planters and was published.
The government investigator who
| wrote the whitewashing report was
shortly after given a good job with the
Hawaiian territorial government, while
Secretary Nagel later busted himself
preparing charges looking to the re-
! mOvai Of Keefe.
! Senator Reed, however, resurrected
the suppressed report and brought il
before the lobby committee. The
planters have been proudly prOclaiming
7 the fact that no DeOnage exists in Ha-
waii. After reading the report 1 am
convinced that it would be better fol

OESGRACEFUL CONDITIONS IN
!. MEX|CAL| NEED attention

A dispatch to the Press from Los
Angeles shows that the disgraceful
condition in Mexicali is attracting wide
attention, with a prospect that gov
ernment officials will be called on to
take prompt action to prevent that
part Of the evil which has connection
with this country.
According to the dispatch referred to,
complaint is made that American girls
are being taken to the Mexican town
from Los Angeles and San Francisco,
an6 in the light of what is known
here the fact seems to he established.
Inquiry here today reveals the fact
. that but few days ago two mattresses
from local hotel We're induced to go
10 Mexicali and join in the degeneracy
prevailing there, while it is known
that between forty and fifty American
girls are on that side Of the line.
Undersheriff Applestill has begun an
investigation Of the conditions as they
relate to the laws of this country, and
il is thought number of white slavery
charges may result.
The Los Angeles dispatch has it that
a Mexican has secured from the Mex
lean capital. on the payment Of $40 :
900, a concession to m0nOpolize vice
In MeXicali. There is nothing known
here to confirm the report.
The conditions of Mexicali had con-
tinued to degenerate until the Madero
regime, when some pretense of civilized
order was established, the Mexican
town being brought well up to the
level Of American towns socially. But
of late affairs have been steadily de
generating in the town again. and the
depths Of infamy have about been
reached.

isolation of the necessary constituents

DR.. Won Ruckin said that the use
of the vaccine in the earliest stages
Of tuberculosis has shown beneficial
results, but added:
I'm order to determine definitely
whether the new vaccine is indeed
greater curative power than other
and similar preparations and more par
ticularly than the one which | have
usen heretofore, longer trials and in
vestigatiOns are necessary. No per-
son suffering from tuberculosis in any
form or in any stage should undertake
Journey to Asheville solely on the
strength Of accounts they may have
read in newspapers and expect to be
treated successfully regardless of their
condition.
in markedly febrile cases the vac
cine could not be administered with
any hope of success, even if The cases
We're otherwise favorable, and these
patients should remain under the care
of their present medical advisers until
the fever has been controlled sufn-
ciently by appropriate methods OF
treatment.
IN the case Of patients who are at
all suitable for treatment with my
vaccine it is. as a rule, not a matter
of such extreme urgency that a delay
Of q few days or weeks would jeopar-
die the result or would make any ma
teral difference IN the outcome. There
is always ample time to have such
cases submitted by physicians and to
make suitable arrangements for the ne
