Columbus, July lu.-Governor COX
today Issued his call convening the
Ohio general assembly in extraordi
nary session Monday, July 20.
The governors call confines the
work Of the session to the subject OF
taxation. No other matter is dealt
with, for the governor has set his face
against any undue prolongation of the
session. All other things are post
poned until the regular session next
winter
The sole subject to be considered
by the legislature will be presented in
series of bills now in process of
drafting, under the direction of John
r. Cassidy, clerk of the house, and dl
rector of the legislative reference bu-
reau.
The primary purpose, the reduction
Of state levy of 1861 mills because OF
the anticipated huge increase of the
tax duplicate under the Warnes law,
will be achieved by cutting off about
ndne-tenths of the common school
levy, and in lieu of the tax, paying to
the counties for schools $2,000,000
from the $S,O00,0OO anticipated treas
ury surplus.
Probably the university tax will be
undisturSSu because the big increase
of normal school students this year,
caused by the new law requiring nor
NAL training of school teachers, is ex-
pected to continue for several years
at least.
The Hite road tax Of IS mill will be
reduced probably to g mill, which un-
der the bigger duplicate is estimated
to produce S3,000,O00 for good roads
The proposal to have the legislature
submit to popular vote the writing
into the constitution of the 1 per cent
tax limit was said not to be fully de-
termined upon. Mayor Baker of
Cleveland and other mayors are op-
posed to it.
AS to the old interior limit OF the
Smith law, limiting the amount of
taxes to the amount collected in 1910,
the tentative plan is to limit the
amount to the amount collected in
1914. This would amount to repeal
Of the Fitzpatrick law and revision
up to date Of the original Smith law.
To insure that this law always would
work and would not operate to pre-
vent paying contractual obligations, Il
is proposed to vest in board Of threi
local officials the right, when actinl
unanimously, to declare an emergency
and to raise the amount Of taxes fot
that year in that taxing subdivision
sufficiently to meet the emergency.
Whatever doubt may attach to the
ability of other cities to levy occupa
tional taxes, there Is said to be no
doubt that Cleveland and Dayton could
do so under their home rule charters.

SANA7OR|UM
NOT INJURIOUS TO HEALTH

DR.. Edward L. Trudeau, who built
the first tuberculosis sanatorium in the
United States in 1885, says, when |
bought the first land on which the Adj
rondack Cottage Sanitarium is built, |
paid $25 an acre for it, but the price
was then thought absurdly high. My
last purchase of five acres cost me
$4,000. To my knowledge, there has
never been an employee who came to
the sanatorium in sound health who
developed tuberculosis while there;
and sanatorium can no more endan-
ger the health of the neighborhood in
which it is built, even If the residences
are at it's very gates, than it could if
it were placed on top of high noun
tain miles away from habitation."

tlon resulted in the so-called opium
war with England.
BY 2 o'clock the soclety's hell was
packed. AS fast as notables or for
eign guests arrived they were taken
to the reception rooms and offered tea
and cakes. In the hall the raised room
used as stage was crowded with not.
ables. The gallery was filled with la
dies and others were on the floor near
the stage. Every little while a burst
of music would usher in some new col
lege or boys school. The Foochow
college of the American board sent a
brigade 300 strong, with captain on
horseback and a corps of trumpeters.
The boys were dressed in spotless
white, with uniform caps and many
flags and banners and made very
pleasing impression by their smart ap-
pearance and good discipline.
The hall was far too small to hold all
the schools, SO space was cleared and
one school after another marched in,
sang it's song and filed out, to give
place to the next. After the music
came speeches-three by leaders of the
society, two by foreigners one by
President Beard Of our Foochow col
lege being especially well received.
Then there were addresses by women,
this of all things, in China One of the
women speakers was the head of the
Government Girls Normal School. An
other was a granddaughter of exgov-
ernor Lin and the third was the widow
of an American board pastor.
The addresses were forceful, inter.
esting and prophetic. The audience
appreciated especially the references
to the fact that in excluding opium the
real work was only just begun. There
was still the task to keep it out and
to detect and to Danish also the equally
harmful substitutes, morphine, cocain,
and alcoholic drinks. Underneath the
rejoicing was felt sober undercurrent
of responsibility for further advance
in the moral betterment of the nation
that was prophetic of the new China
that is to be-"
Foochew, the city in which this cele-
bration took place, is the center of one
of the American boards largest mis-
sions and is also the seat of important
union theological, medical and normal
schools in whose control the American
board joins with Methodists and Epis-
copalian SOCIETIES. The city has about
625,000 inhabitants, is picturesquely To-
Gated near the mouth of the famous
Min river and is described in the "Voy-
ages of Marco Polo" under the name
Fujin.

Convincing proof that tuberculosis
ace to health nor detriment to the
property of those living near such in
stitutions is given in a pamphlet is
sued today by The National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis. In an extended study
of the subject the association has not
been able to find a single instance
where a tuberculosis sanatorium has
had an injurious effect on the health
of anyone living near it, nor where it
has had any lasting effect upon prop
erty values.
The pamphlet, entitled THE Effect
of tuberculosis Institutions on the
Value and Desirability of Surrounding
Property" reviews all the studies made
on the subject, takes up court deci-
sions bearing on the question, and con-
tributes besides some original investi-
cations of typical hospitals, and the
ance companies, and others. Nearly
$50 different institutions are studied
In all these institutions, not one case
could be found where the assertions Of
opponents to their location, that tu-
berculosis sanatorium would spread
disease and injure property, could be
substantiated. In fact, a number of
instances were found where the pres
ence of the sanatorium or hospital
promoted outdoor living, tending to
lower the death rate, and increased the
market for produce and labor thereby
benefitting the community
Among the most significant opinions
expressed are those by five of the larg-
est life insurance companies in the
United States. These companies were
asked if residence in a tuberculosis
sanatorium by a healthy individual
was considered an adverse factor in
issuing insurance and also If residence
in the neighborbood of sanatorium
constituted such an adverse factor
Two of the companies answered the
first question in the affirmative and
two in the negative, but everyone of
them answered that residence near a
tuberculosis sanatorium was not con-
sidered an adverse factor in issuing
life insurance.

CHINESE PROVINCES DO
AWAY WITH OPIUM GROWING

An American travelling in China, the
Rev. Dwight Goddard, of Cleveland,
Ohio sends to the American board the
following account of the celebration
of the elimination of the poppy from
Kukien province.
THE first of May was a red letter
day at Foochow, China, for on that
day was celebrated the ending of the
opium traffic in the Kukien province.
England had agreed to give up her
treaty rights to market her Indian
opium in such provinces as should
succeed in absolutely ending domestic
production. After an exceedingly care
full investigation by English commits
sioners, who visited personally every
district, even climbing high hills to
see for themselves that not a poppy
flower was in sight, they acknowledge
ed that Kukien province had met con-
ditions. Orders we're issued forbid
ding all further importation and pro-
viding that all unsold stocks were to
be removed from the province with
ten days.
Kukien is the eleventh of the eigh-
teen provinces to fulfill these condi-
tions. 1t lisa modern miracle. Ten
years ago the opium habit had full
tenth of the population in its clutches; /;
it's production was q most profitable
crop; the sale most profitable busi-
ness; the curse was Slowly but surely
running the nation, and it took dy-
courage to attmept its destruction. Not
a foreigner believed that it could be
done. But it has been done and it has
been done not by the fiat of an arbi-
trary government, but by the sheer
force of public sentiment compelling
official action.
In the morning at the wharf of the
Chinese customs some $4,000 worth of
confiscated opium was publicly burned.
At nine o'clock the image of the late
Governor Lin, was taken from the An
cestral Hall of the Lin family, placed
in a splendid sedan chair and carried
with ceremony through the streets to
the headquarters of the Anti-Opium
Society. Here it was visited by thous-
ands of people, until just before the af-
ternoon speeches, when with much fir
ing of fire crackers it was returned II
state to it's home. This Governor Lin
was the official who sixty years ago as
special commissioner at Canton, seized
and burned many thousands of chests
of opium belonging to English mer-
after China had forbidden it. His ac-

TOTS MOVED THE COURT

A baby, a boy and dog proved too
much for the sympathies of Municipal
Judge Newcomer and the attaches of
his court Saturday. The three enter
ed the court as detected prisoners and
departed happier and rich by 50.
Albert Kapean, II years old, was the
boy; Mary, his 2.year-old sister, was
the baby, and "Blackie," a diminutive
black and tan, was the dog. Mrs. Mary
Kapean, the children's mother, had
failed to take out dog license and
was called before the court. She
brought the children and the dog with
her.
why haven't you taken out a IL
cense?" demanded the judge, sternly.
"We are too poor" exclaimed the
boy.
"Why do you keep dog then? You
will have to have him shot, stated
the judge.
''All right" replied the boy, bravely,
In the meantime the baby was
laughing and playing with the dog.
John Gardner, clerk, produced sill
yer dollar, which he gave to the boy
with the admonition to use it for a
license. In few minutes other spec
tators had contributed another dollar
and the Judge had decided that he
would impose no fine Philadelphia
Inquirer.

DENVER READY TO
WELCOME ELKs

Denver, Colo, July 11-Although the
Grand Lodge of the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks does not
meet here until Monday, a large ad-
vance guard of visitors has already
put in an appearance. Reports re-
ceived from all parts of the country
indicate that the number of strangers
to be in Denver during the coming
week will probably be the largest ever
entertained here.
All arrangements for the big gather
ing were practically completed today.
For months past the local committees
have been hard at work and as a re-
suit of their efforts the visitors will
find that nothing has been left undone
to contribute to their pleasure and
comfort. The business section of the
city is already blossoming out in a sea
of flags and bunting, the official purple
of the order predominating in the
color scheme. Welcome arches and
hundreds of elaborate electrical decor
ations have been placed in conspi-
cuous positions throughout the central
portion of the city.

mrs. CARMAN FEELS
She will Be FREED
Friends Claim the Case Against
Her Is Weak.

Freeport, N. Y, July 10.-The case
against Mrs. Florence Carman, arrest
ed for the murder of Mrs. Louise Bal
ley, is so weak, according to her
friends, that the prosecutor hesitates
to take his evidence before magls-
trate or a grand jury.
Doubts have been thrown upon the
testimony of the two most important
witnesses, George Colder and Elwood
Bardes. Colder has made an affidavit
practically repudiating his identified
tion of the Doctors wife as the woman
he saw on the porch a few minutes
before the murder; and Flora Raynor,
a young woman OF this village, says
that Bardes was with her at a time
so close to that of the murder that 1t
seems impossible, If her story is true,
that he could have seen and heard all
that he testified to.
Mrs. Carman suffered nervous
breakdown in the jail at Mineola. II
was a reaction from the strain of the
past few days. She was depressed in
spirits. When her husband called
later she had recovered materially
She told him not to worry, as she
was confident that she would be re-
leased within a few days.
District Attorney Smith tried TO se-
cure a postponement OF the hearing
set for July 13 by Coroner Norton
Mr.. Smith wanted a weeks delay but
Attorney Levy, counsel for Mrs. Car
man, would not consent.

street Cleanliness.

Perhaps the most striking difference
noticed by the American tourist
abroad between American and Euro
pear cities is the cleanness of the
streets of the latter, particularly in
such places as Berlin and Dresden.
Clean streets, as the term is under
stood abroad, are unknown in the cit
les of the United States. The dirti-
ness of our streets both in summer
and winter, with their clouds of dust
charged with disease germs and filth
of all kinds, makes walking almost
intolerable and imposes on %storekeep-
ers and housekeepers a burden of
cleaning that is far more expensive
in the aggregate than would be the
proper and systematic cleaning Of the
streets.
Only occasionally when the streets
are locally flushed can the conditions
of our streets be compared with those
abroad, where street cleanliness is
one of the first principles of city adj
ministration.
