FAMOUS EXPLORER
CLAIMS ROOSEVELT
COPIED HIS WORK

PARIS. May S.-Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt was denounced today as a
charlatan by \. Henry Savage-Lan-
dor. the famous explorer. because of
his claims of discoveries in South
America. Mr.. Savage-Landor scath-
ingly ridiculed the claims OF the tor-
mer president, adding that the whoie
trip could be characterized as "dOuDJ-
fuI' and concluding "c'est un char-
latan".
MIR. Savage-LandOr IS regarded as
the spokesman of the European geo
graphical experts who have been at
tempting to show that reports that
Colonel Roosevelt had discovered a
new Brazilian river are untrue.
Mr.. Savage-LandOr, who explored
the Brazilian jungles years ago and
wrote a book on his trip, strongly in
timated that the American had COPIED
the principal incidents.
Colonel Roosevelt is probably an
honest politician, but I've always
pitied him as an explorer" said Mr..
Savage-Landor. Before he endeaVors
to controvert any of my discoveries II
would have been advisable for him 10
penetrate the interior on horseback
and foot instead Of having made the
trip in a steam launch. 1t seems TO
me that he has only copied the princi-
pal incidents of my trip through the
Brazilian wilds. He has had the same
sickness that l had and what is more
extraordinary the eruptions incident
TO that illness appeared upon the same
leg as that which was infected in my
case.
Landor Wakes Satirical.
These things often happen 10 big
explorers who have carefully read the
books of humber travellers who pre-
Ceded them.
Everyone knows of Colonel RoOse- .
velt's tour Of Africa and the great
dangers he encountered exploring the
railway line from Nom bazi 20 Lake
Victoria: also the hardships he en-
countered in negotiating the Nile IN a
magnificent steamboat while discover
ing Egypt.
The l 1000 mile river Roosevelt
claims TO have discovered in Brazil he
calls the Doubtful This term might
we'll be applied to his whole trip"
Mr. Savage-Landor spoke with bit
terness and laughed as he satirically
referred 10 the colOners journey into
Africa.

CONF FESsION OF
DAGO FRANK WILL
CAUSE LEGAL WAR

NEW YORK. May S.-Unless there
are developments that force his coun-
sci TO decide to the contrary, Lieuten-
ant Charles Becker Will testify in his
own defense at his trial for the muir
der OF Herman ROsenthal. This course
is being urged by the defendants wife.
She is exerting her influence to have
her husband take the stand And tell
the jury that he has been made the
victim of a conspiracy.
Mrs. Becker has pointed out TO her
husband that his own testimony would
be OF more effect than the stories told
by a score of witnesses.
Interest in the selection Of jury
had been throust into the background
when the trial was resumed today by
the fact that the defense had sum-
mOned as it's witnesses Warden James
NJ. Clancy and Father William Cashir,
respectively warden and chaplain of
Sing Sing prison.
Issuance of subpoenas for these men
showed that Becker's counsel had
abandoned their reported plan to enter
no defense
Evidence as to the confession of
"Dago Frank" Cirofci will be sought
from Warden Clancy and Chaplain

man declared that he had never heard

There were six men in the jury box
when the session opened and District

no active part in the trial at present
but is expected TO make the closing
address for Becker. Mr.. Whitman is
preparing evidence to show that Cock
ran declared the proceedings before
Justice Seabury to be mot a trial but
an assassination. Cochran has de-
clared this untrue and asserted he
would repudiate the whole thing if
called in contempt proceedings

HEALTH BOARD IS
To SUPERVISE ALL
RUMMAGE SALES

All rummage sales in South Bend
must in the future be conducted un-
der the supervision of the board of
health and the articles offered for sale
must be thoroughly fumigated. This
was the announcement Of DR.. Charles
BOsenbury, secretary of the board of
health.
DR.. Bosenbury also called attention
10 the fact that laboratory facilities
for the examination Of cultures to de-
termine the presence Of diphtheria,
typhoid and tuberculosis are now of
fered citizens of South Bend free Of
charge through an arrangement with
the South Bend Medical laboratory.
Garbage cans and manure boxes must
be kept covered during the summer
as required 10y the city ordinances the
secretary stated, and a police officer
will be detailed Monday TO make a
tour of inspection TO see that this reg
ulation is being obeyed.
Concerning these subjects DR.. Bo-
senbury said Friday:
The city ordinances provide that
all manure boxes shall be covered and
that the cover shall be kept closed.
We intend that this inspection shall
cover the whole city; that notices
shall be served upon tenants or land
lords where insanitary conditions are
found.
Offers Laboratory Facilities.
The contract between the health
department and the South Bend Medi-
cal laboratory went into effect the 1st
of May. This contract provides for
examination for diphtheria, typhoid
and tuberculosis free of charge for
citizens OF South Bend. Physicians Of
the city have been notified of the op-
portunity 10 have such examinations
made at the laboratory and have been
furnished with the necessary outfits
for collecting specimens The depart
ment would urge that an examination
be made in all cases Of suspicious sore
thrOats. A physician is not always
able to tell merely from an inspection
Of the throat whether diphtheria eE-
lists or not and the only means Of
making a positive diagnosis is by
means of a culture. BY having the
work done at tks local laboratory it is
possible 10 get a report on a culture
within eight hours.
The department would also urge
in all cases OF chronic cough that ex-
aminations Of the sputum be made
for the germs of tuberculosis. II is
the experience OF the medical men
that the earlier the diagnosis IS made,
and proper treatment instituted, the
more hopeful is the chance for the re-
cOvery of the patient. Therefore, If
there Is any suspicion about d cough.
