FIGHT PLAGUE IN THE ORIENT
American AntI-TubereuIosIs Society
Has Been Active In Movement Ter
Health Preservation

tuberculosis is one Of the most -
rious public health problems q he
Orient. Active organizations TO hgnS
this disease have been formed In
Japan, the Philippines, India and Aus
ralia. A movement is on foot for
national organization in China and IN
q number of cities local work has been
started. While no accurate figures
are available, those who are in po-
sition to know claim that CONSUMPTION
takes annually from $780, 900 to 1se00
600 lives in China alone In India the
death rate is fully as high, and on &C
count of caste distinctions and native
supe9stitions, the problem of proven
ton and treatment is peculiarly diff
cut. The japanese government has.
taken a hand officially in the control
of tuberculosis, and is cooperating
with two well-organized private asso-
Citations. The death rate, while very
high, is lower than in China and In
dia. Under the direction of the United
States public health service move
ment for the prevention of tuberculo-
sis in the Philippines has also been
organized.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis, with headquarters in New York,
although organized especially for work
in this country, has been largely in
strumental in the establishment OF
anti-tuberculosis movements in most
Of the oriental countries, as well as in
Africa and South America.

CITIES HONOR DEAD
Crowds Surge Into Chicago City
Hall to View Nielsen
berg's Body.
MANY WOMEN HURT IN CRUSH
erai of Corporal Haggerty at
Cambridge, Mass.

Chicago.-TIle return of the body of
Samuel Meisenberg, the Chicago boy
who lost his life in the occupation of
Vera Cruz, was marked by panic in
the city hall, where the body lay in
state for three hours.
So great was the crush to view the
catafalque in the rotunda that scores
of women tainted, while men caught
in the smothering press cried for air.
Among the women who succumbed
was Mrs. Morris Meisenberg, mother
Of the dead hero.
Finally the crush became so great
that Police Lieutenant James Conroy
sent in a riot call and succeeded in
restoring order.
The catafa1que itself, banked high
with flowers, was protected by eight
marines under Captain Robert Y.
Rhea.
Many thousands gathered around
the undertaking establishment to
which Meisenberg's body had been
removed Several women were in
jured in a crush which followed the
explosion of powder caps placed by
boys on nearby street car tracks. The
explosions led to a report that a man
had been shot and the crowd surged
towards the tracks, knocking many to
the ground.
Crush at Cambridge, Mass.
Cambridge, Mass.-Scenes of disor-
der attended the efforts of thousands
to view the body Of Corporal Daniel
A Haggerty, one of the first to fall
at Vera Cruz An immense crowd
had gathered about the militia ar
mory where the body lay in state, and
as only twelve officers had been fur
nished for police duty, the result was
confusion as the throng pressed for
ward to the doors, intent on paying a
tribute of respect to the memory of
the hero. Women, children Ind men
were knocked down and tramp1ed
upon. More than one hundred women
we're trampled upon and injured in
the stampede.

whether his body was burned, as has
persistently been reported to General
Funston.
The American government cabIed
the Brazilian minister to inform the
Huerta government CT the strong feel
ing OF the United States in the mat
ter, directing him to make vigorous
representations concerning the Incl
dent.
The note asked the minister to pro-
test to the Huerta government that
if Parks were alive, the failure to ex-
plain his whereabouts was in itself an
unfriendly attitude and that if the sol
der has been slain as has been re-
ported, such killing of a man who
came into the Mexican lines in full
uniform was contrary to military pro-
cedure of civilized naJions and an act
of hostility.

had a long conference with Presiden
Wilson last night, at the latter's re-

BROKERS TO OPPOSE
THE OWEN BILL.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 2S.-When
Senator Owens bill for the regulation
of stock exchanges comes up for a
hearing next week it is expected that
leading members of the New York
Exchange, at which the measure is
aimed, will oppose the essential pro-
posals on the ground that the Govern
ment itself should do what it seeks
to make the exchange accomplish.
The bill is an outgrowth Of the Pujo
money trust" inquiry. 1t gives the
New York Stock Exchange the option
of Incorporating under the New York
laws or placing itself under the direc-
ton Of the Postmaster General.
The representatives of the exchange
will argue against incorporation on
the ground that disciplinary powers
would be largely taken away by the
disruption of the present club organ
ization. In lieu of the provisions of
the owen bill to safeguard investors
by making the listing requirements
more stringent the exchange represen-
tatives will argue that the Govern
ment itself, through enactment of a
bill similar to the British Companies
act, should control the issuance of
corporation securities.

he and his friends did it with the sole
idea of letting their representatives
know they approved Of investigations
where reports of Irregularities were
prevalent, and believing there was
some doubt about the legislature re-
imbursing the governor for what he
believed to be about $4,000 he wrote
the letters.
The text of the letters follows:
'Corinth, Miss, Jan. IA, 1914.
"Hon. S. NJ. Majors, House of Rep
resentatives, Jackson, Miss. Dear
Sir-I approve Of Gov. Brewers in
vestigation of the state penitentiar"
and the expense of same. / sincerely
hope you will assist him in every way
you can, and oblige very much. Yours
Truly" etc.
In reply to question of Mr.. John.
son, of the committee, DR.. Borum said
that he did not have in mind Senator
Hobbs or anything connected with his
trial, or the expense of securing testi-
mony, when he wrote the letter. He
is a member of the state board of
health and considered himself a part
of the administration, and simply was
trying to make it a success. He de-
MED that he had in mind the proba-
bility that the legislature might not
want to reimburse the governor if
part Of the money was paid out in the
investigation of reports regarding Sen
ator Hobbs, saying he referred only to
the investigation of the penitentiary.
DR.. 6. w. Goog, of Rienzi, and DR..
H. S. Sprause, of Corinth, appeared
before the committee and stated they
had signed the letters at the request
of DR.. Borum, that they believed they
were making perfectly legitimate re-
quest, and meant nothing more than
that they believed the expense of the
investigation should
be borne by the state. All
-hree men said they signed the let
.ers as private citizens. DR.. Borum
said that Mr.. Majors was one of the
irst men to call his attention to re-
'orts Of irregularities in the peniten-
larry, and stated that it was his men,
ry that Mr.. Majors had said the leg
stature would make the expense &C.

expressed confidence in Mr.. Majors |

new REVOLUTION
MAY Be STARTED
ARREST OF TWO OF FELIX DiAZ
FOLLOWERS GIVES STRENGTH
TO RUMORS.

Mexico City, Jan. 2S.-Fidencio
Hernandez and Guillermo Mexuiro,
natives of the State of Oaxaca, have
been arrested on a charge of implica-
ton in the plot to overthrow the Fed
eral Government. Both Hernandez
and Mexuiro were identified with the
political fortunes of General Felix
Diaz. They are the most prominent
of those SO far arrested in connec-
ton with the alleged plot. None Of
the others in the hands of the police
is of national fame, and General Fer
nando Gonzales, who, according to
some of the published reports, has
been executed, has, as a matter of
fact, been in Europe for some time.
The arrest of Hernandez and Mex
uiro tends to give strength to rumor
current here that General Diaz has a
new revolution under way. Both were
arrested in Vera Cruz, where they
were with General Diaz when Diaz
fled the country in November. Mex
uiro was released for lack of evidence.
The police continue their investiga-
ton of the conspiracy, but at the Ma
tional Palace neither President Huer-
ia nor any Of his official family ap-
pears to be worried, all seeming to
regard the incident as of little conse-
quence.
