Washington for several weeks, has maintained all the time course of calm confidence, declaring that he has won the nomination by clean ma jority of PIP, as shown by the official vote tabulated by the State Central Committee: and that there was no fraud perpetrated in the election or in the returns, as charged by the op- position.
 Judge Kirby prepared pamphlet of thirty-two pages, in which he sets forth the allegations of his contest, in the nature of an appeal from the Democratic State Committee.
 Shall the Poinsett Gang be allowed to steal the nomination?" is the ques- ton that appears on the title page. The pamphlet reviews at length the proceedings before the State Commit tee, with especial reference to the Poinsett county case.
 Judge Kirby opens with the declara. tion that "At the Democratic primary election held on March 25; 1914, I re ceived a majority of the votes and the nomination over James P. Clarke for United States Senator, as shown by the official returns from all of the seventy-five counties of the state''
 Two Grounds of Contest.
 The two grounds of fraud alleged and upon which the contest is based are:
 First. In changing the returns after they had been cast up and off cially announced, and wrongfully in- creasing the vote and majority of Senator Clarke 400, which was done more than eight hours after the vote was officially announced.
 Second. In the casting of 529 votes more than the number of poll taxes paid in the county, and 729 illegal votes in all for Senator Clarke"
 Judge Kirby claims that, excluding the controverted vote of Poinsett coun. ty, he won the nomination over Sena. tor Clarke by majority of S55. Count. ing the vote of Poinsett county as ori ginally announced, he claims the nomi nation by majority of 1S4.

forty of the seventy-five counties of the state with 321 delegates, while Senator Clarke carried 35 with 309 delegates. While it has been impracti- cable to secure an accurate statement of the delegates attitude toward the contestants, Judge Kirby is insisting that the unit rule shall prevail upon all questions directly affecting his in- terests, especially to insist upon a square deal.
 In conclusion, Judge Kirby says: ''If the party is to maintain it's integri- ty and retain the confidence of the people, if the will Of the majority is to be regarded and to control, it is necessary, yes, it is imperative, that fraud of the kind attempted to be practiced by the Poinsett County Ma chine shall be denounced and punish ed and not rewarded.

Swarm to Deck.

Up they swarmed on deck in their night clothing to find the ship heeling away to port and the deck slanting at a degree that made it almost impos- sible to stand even clinging to railings.
 Men and women, shrieking, praying, crying for aid that was fated to arrive too late, fell over one another in that last struggle for life on board the doomed Empress of Ireland
 Frenzied mothers leaped overheard with their babies in their arms. Others knelt on deck and tried to pray in the few moments left to them Some were flung overheard by the heeling of the sinking ship and some broke their legs or arms in trying to reach the life boats.
 Above the din of the struggle on the great promenade deck could be heard Captain Kendall shouting commands for the launching of the lifeboats. Sev- eral were launched in the 19 minutes that the ship floated.

Survivors Tell of Fog.

It was foggy, according to survivors, when the Empress of Ireland, steel hulled, steelbulkheaded ship of more than eight thousand tons, left Mon- treal at 4:30 Thursday afternoon in command of H. G. Kendall of the Royal Naval Reserve, one of the most skilled of transatlantic navigators.
 Forest fires also obscured the at mosphere and the big ship, in charge of pilot, proceeded slowly on her way to sea. At midnight the pilot aide left near Father Point, shouting . s'cherry "Bon Voyage" as he went down their ladder to his waiting boat. She darkness at this time was in- sEnse and the ship under the slowest speed possible with steerageway held her course. Her decks were deserted. The passengers had all sought their berths with no thought of impending death.
 Out of the darkness, on the port side, soon after 2:30 in the morning there loomed the little Norwegian col Her, not half the size of the Empress, but fated to be her destroyer.
 Not until the collier was almost abeam of the big liner was the danger known on either ship. The fog had blctted out the lights as we'll as the port and starboard lights of both ships.
 Quick orders trumpeted on both yes sells were heard. But they came all too late.

 Many were stunned and before they had time to recover were carried to the bottom with the ship.
 The vast torrents pouring into the great gash on the port side, aft, filled the corridors and flooded every state room abaft the midship section in side of four minutes.
 There was never a chance for the helpless ones in the after cabins and staterooms of the liner. With her port side laid open for half it's length from the midship section to the stern, a seive had more chance to float than the Empress of Ireland, and the trapped passengers in that after sec tion were doomed from the moment the Storstad struck.
 Keeling from the blow the ship be- gan to settle almost immediately as the water rushed into the big rent.
 From the forward cabins, however, men and women in night attire stum- bled along the corridors and up the companion way to the promenade deck the deck below, the one on which the boats rested.

Rimouski, Que, May 91.-Nine hun dred and sixty-foar persons lost their lives Friday morning when the great Canadian Pacific twin screw liner Elm press of Ireland was rammed amid ships in thick fog off Father Point in the St. Lawrence and sunk by the Norwegian collier Storstad.

 Captain Kendall, dazed and unable to give any coherent account of the loss of his ship, was found clinging to broken spar.
 J. w. Longley, rancher, of Canford, B. C., went down with the ship, but held his breath, and, coming to the surface, found piece of wreckage and clung to it until picked up.
 One of the survivors, in explaining the quickness with which the Empress of Ireland went down, said:.
 The collier, being only something over 5000 tons, die not reach up even to the upper or topmost deck of our hull. Her bow cut under the upper deck and took peeling off the side of our ship that allowed the water to rush into the lower decks.

Detroit, Mich, June 26.-Guess
what Ford, the automobile million
aire, is going to tackle next.
He is going to fight cancer.
This is the newest thing in the
medical world. 1 am telling you the
news here for the first time.
Ford will spend millions and mil
lions to carry out his own theory on
the prevention of the terrible disease.
Three weeks ago Ford took over
large, unfinished hospital in Detroit,
the promoters having failed to carry
out their plan. 1t was supposed that
he intended to finish the construction
and equipment and make the institu-
ton simply a general hospital
No word of his new plan and ideas
had been made public until the con-
ference between him and Judge Neil,
the mothers pension man, at which l
was present.
employers who take millions of
profit from the work of their en-
ployes try to square themselves with
justice by giving money to hospitals,
said Judge Neil. THAT is merely the
repair shop we referred to in our first
talk. 1t does not produce anything"
Then Ford decided to announce his
newest plan. Turning to John R. Lee,
head of his sociological department,
he said:
1--WE should tell about this plan
right now" Lee, who is in charge of
the details, acquiesced.
'Our hospital will not be repair
shop" declared Ford smiling. ct is
to be a producer, as everything worth
while must be. There are lots of hos
pitfalls to cure disease and to care for
the wrecks. We are confident that we
can prevent cancer. This enemy of
men can be conquered and we have
faith we can find a way"
Cancer" declared Neil, lis the re-
suit of lowered vitality of body and

same conclusion. Intemperance is the
cause of cancer, intemperance not
only of drinking, but of eating and
thinking. Intemperance in the mental
processes is as dangerous as drink
ing. Fear is about the worst of all
enemies, and it is mental. If men
who have been Incorporate can be
shown how to be temperate, how to
eat and how to think without fear,
cancer will disappear.
"In our new hospital we expect to
demonstrate some of these ideas. To
me it seems simple and certain"

come and take charge of this hos
pital,' said Neil.
mo-" was the reply. Eve expect
to produce our own experts. We shall
begin at the bottom and work with
the plant until we educate ourselves
and our own force of hospital men as
we educated ourselves in the auto
mobile shop"
Ford said he hoped the hospital
would be ready to begin operations
about September 1. 1t is situated in
a block of twenty acres of ground.
The administration, power and one
ward buildings are completed. He
paid all the debts, amounting to about
100000, and expects to spend ST.
100000 in completing the plant. This
does not include the equipment.

was to be a repair shop. When their
plans failed we took over the whole
proposition and will try our way. Out
of this hospital will come knowledge
which will enable men and women to
escape cancer"

deaths in adult life is due to cancer"

Appraiser Values the Herd.
In order to compensate the owner
OF his property thus condemned in the
interest of the public welfare, an APP
praiser is appointed by the state au-
thorities to value the herd. The sum
thus fixed is divided equally between
the state and the federal authorities.
In the last outbreak in 1908 in New
England ii cost the federal govern
ment. which was then paying two
thirds OF the appraised values. ap-
proximately 100000 for condemna-
ton, slaughter and disinfection. The
present outbreak is regarded as much
more serious.
The inspectors engaged In this
work are equipped with complete
rubber outfit which can be thoroughly
disinfected after each exposure to in
lection. Persons who have not the
advantage OF this equipment should
vigorously refrain from exposing them
selves to the least risk OF Infection
AS has already been said, the disease
is frequently transmitted by human
beings, and II is really a crime for
any one to crafty his curiosity at
the expense of his neighbors. In ad-
dition to this danger there are also a
number Of cases on record in which
both children and adults have become
infected themselves Ordinarily the
disease is not serious in men, but
weakly children who drink contami-
mated milk suffer so severely that in
a few cases death has been known to
result With adults the malady usu-
ally takes no more serious form than
a slight eruption in the mouth similar
to fever blisters and possibly a SINH
lar eruption on the hands and fingers.
There may be also some fever and
nausea, but there is comparatively lit
tie danger. In countries where the
disease is prevalent many authorities
believe that it is fairly general in
human beings but that the consequent
disturbances in health are so slight
that they are not brought to the at
tention of physicians.
Started in Michigan.
The present outbreak originated in
southern Michigan but how the germ
found its way there is not yet def
nitely known. 1t seems probable that
some cattle became infected. that
their, milk was sent TO q creamery
and the skim milk then returned to
be fed to hogs. A herd of these in
fected hogs was then shipped to Chi.
