URGES SPECIAL TRAINS
FOR PHTHISIS VICTIMS
Assistant Surgeon General Rucker Tells
Traction Men of Dangers of Disease
Communication Through Trains.

Atlantic City, Oct. 16.-Cautioning
his hearers that the problem of con-
trolling the spread of disease by trains
was greater and more complex than
control of disease communication by
vessels, DR.. w. c. Rucker, Assistant
Surgeon General of the United States
Public Health Service, in an address
before the American Electric Railway
Association, in convention here today,
advocated the running of special trains
to the health resorts where tubercu-
Iosis patients retreat in large numbers.
He outlined the manner in which
tuberculosis should be dealt with in
transportation. compared it with lep-
rosy, and dwelt at length on the COM
municabIe phases of yellow fever and
smallpox
That class of passengers known as
''hoboes," who ride free on the bump
ers and other parts of railroad trains.
came in for a hard knock from the
sneaker, who declared they were a
dangerous element in the communica-
ton of disease.
The control of the tramp will one
day be recognized as a public health.

CITIZENS WILL ARGUE
FOR FREE TRANSFERS
Civic Body Holds Commissioners Are
Empowered to Pass on
Question.
HEARING is HELD NEXT MONDAY

Averring they believe Congress, when IL
created the Public Utilities Commission.
empowered that body to decide upon the
question of free reciprocal transfers be-
tween the lines of the several street car
railways in the District, the members of
the executive committee of the citizens
conference at meeting last night passed
a resolution to appear before the commits
sion at the hearing to be held on the uni
versal transfer question next Monday and
urge the passing OF an order granting free
transfers.
The meeting of the executive committee,
which Is composed Of P. j. Ryan, p. V.
Keating, II. ]. Clark. George H. Gall, and
Charles w. Darr, was held in the ofice
OF the latter last night
Embodied In the resolution passed by
the committee Is an explanation that the
committee believes that by reason OF the
enactment Of the Public Utilities bill. the
Commissioners of the District. sitting as
the Public Utilities Commission. can give
the transfer relief needed by the public.
The committee further explains that. by
reason Of the enactment of the Public
Utilities bill. 1t deemed 1t unwise to agi-
tate Congress for any further special
legislation concerning the free transfer
question. but thought that the legislation
already obtained was sufficient.

ice, however IL might be accomplished.
But we claim that under the law nc
change in the rates on third-class mat
ter can be made. except by Congress, ano
we protest against any change being
made in the third-class rates until II Is
made by Congress.
Under the parcel post law, passed In
the summer Of 1874 third-olass matter

zines and newspapers, registered as sec
ond-cIass matter. at common rate Oh
1 cent for two ounces In parcels up 10
A no,nds. but on the last day of the
short session following the rate was in
creased at the instance Of the express
interests from ] cent to ounces 10
cent an ounce-l00 per cent by means OF
a rider placed upon the postal apropria-
tion bill of that year by Senator Hannl-
hal HamIhh of Maine. Later the printing
and seed interests OF the country got
tboIr rates reduced TO the old ! cent
a-ounce common rate Of 1874. leaving
other merchandise at ! cent an ounce,
and that is the way the third and tourth
classes OF mail matter came into exlst-
ence with one rate double that OF the
other.
Congress is in session. The House OF
REPRESENTATIVES is uOiIB Hoehho- -
to them to originate legislation OF TINS
Character. The fact that the existing
marcel post law originated in the Senate

Senator Burton.

DISCUSS sEAMAN's BILL

Discussing the seamen's bill in the
Senate yesterday, Senator Burton OF Ohio
declared that II the Voltutno had been
loaded in accordance with American law
and steamship regulations the great loss
Of life by fire would not have occurred
because the chances for fire would have
been far less.
II do not believe that catastrophe could
have occurred had the vessel been under
American regulations said Senator Bur-
ton. Our laws are the best of any gov
ernment but are still capable of i'm
provement. We restrict the character
OF cargo that can be carried on a pas
senger vessel, and IL would have been
impossible to transport on a passenger
ship the amount of combusitbles that
were carried on the Voiturno.
The character Of cargo to be trans
ported in vessels carrying passengers
sea should be one of the first and one
of the important questions to be taken
up by the interna tional conference that
meets in England next month.
Agree on Time of Vote.
Senator Burton suggested that the
proposed bill ought TO go over until
after the International conference, TO
which this government is sending dele
gates. Senator La Toilette urged
prompt action. asserting that large
shipping interests for years have pre-
vented necessary reforms.
Vie said that fire drills and lifeboat
drills could not be had on big ocean
vessels under conditions that viii con-
front seamen when the time OF danger
comes. The greatest safety for human
life. he contended, was a law that would
guarantee an adequate number OF
thoroughly trained seamen.
The bill came up under a special agree
ment and the vote is to be taken not
later than 4 o'clock of next Thursday,

In his closing remarks, Vice President
Marshall said that no man can be a
good Mason unless he is a good citizen
