n. Charles H. Parkes OF Chicago,
Vim is connected with the municipal
.nsrcnlosis work of that city, ex-
ned TO a Keokuk audience yester.
afternoon at the Grand some rea'
,s whv a tuberculosis sanitarium
knnld be established in communities
here there is any amount Of the dis
ase as there is here and showed pic
rres of the. Chicago sanftariums, the
demonstrates and of the relief work
Which is being done in that city.
DR.. Parkes was introduced by DR..
Franl, M. Fuller DR.. Fuller said that
| nreyious to 1908 the death rate in
Keokuk from tuberculosis among
white people was 10 per cent. On &C
count Of the educational work which
was done from 1908 to 1916, the
amount of care and assistance given
in fighting this disease through the
Iowa sanitarium at Oakdale, and
through local work, the figure has been
reduced to less than 10 per cent.
Among the colored people OF the city
the percentage of PAN previous to
1908 was reduced to 10 In the last
eight years.
DR.. Fuller spoke Of the need locally
for sanitarium, and said that such
an institution was the center OF all
of this propaganda. Through educa.
ton 1t is possible to reduce the death
rate in this disease, and the sanitaP
ium furnishes the best medium for i'm
parting this education.
The Chicago work was commenced
in 1907 in church basement, DR..
Parkes said, and was free to the pub
lie. 1t was part Of the work of the
American tuberculosis association.
The work has now been developed to
its present large scale. based on the
theory that there can only be proven
ton through prevention. He gave
the women who were interested In
this work the credit for its extent, and
said that through the women here who
are interested, the most could be ac-
complshed.
The Illinois legislature In 1909 pass
ed bill giving cities the right to es-
tablish sanitariums for the care and
prevention Of tuberculosis. and to give
all treatment free. The tax was one
mill and in the city Of Chicago this
gave something like million dollars
for this work. The Chicago work
has four main features, the dispenser
les, sanitariums, open air schools and
relief work.

Arizona sentinel., 1917-01-25

Arrived at Salado water hole at noon, where H. J. Green and guide, who had left the line at a. m. on horse back, were camped for lunch. We all took light lunch together, dividing some of my grub with MT. Green and re reciprocating. We agreed on a line of searching.
 Continued trip at 1230, and soon passed the spot where many years ago a Mexican named Sanchez was hang ed to a mesquite tree, but the tree has been burned to the ground long ago, it's black stump being the only reminder of that grewsome affair.
 Reached Rillita creek at ? D. m. Water was hundred yards wide, and neither driver having ever crossed it when it contained that much water they were naturally afraid to attempt it. Without hesitation I took off most of my clothing and made an investiga- tion, sounding the roadway from one side to the other, and found that the water in no place was more than ten inches deep. Jose Villa in his Dodge car led the way. He crossed the creek like a whirlwind, and got stuck climbing the bank on the far side. We soon got him out, and then Mar tinez came dashing through the water in his old Betsy. She took to the water like a duck, and climbed the hill like a Billy goat.
 Half mile beyond this point we reached Casa Andrade, which was de- serted by l.. E. Fuentes, R. Leon y Companeros on September 1, 1913, with this inscription left on the wall; "Vamos de huida, recuerdo trieste
 I left a note at this place for MT. Green pinned to board at the road side, telling him we had gone on to La Bolsa, and that if I got any trace of the aviators I would signal him by means of a fire that night.
 Passed through 'the Colony" at 3 D. m.
 Reached La Bolsa, the famous San dovaI ranch, at about p. m., and finding no tracks of human beings, autos or wagons, we went to camp four miles northwest, where we found two Mexican cowboys, the cider nam-
Arizona sentinel., 1917-01-25

Two automobiles had been engaged, Jose Villa (no kin to "Poncho") with his trusty Dodge car, and Julio Martinez with his "Old Betsy" Ford. We got away at about 6:30 for the twenty-four mic post, where arrange ments were made with Captain Gus tavo Cuevos, through the good offices of Judge Joe Redondo, who had gone down the Tine" in my car, to act as guide for the search of the lost avia- tors. Major Stokes had gone to his quarters in the Dodge car to get his powerful field glasses for my use on the trip, but caught us before we reached Somerton, where additional provisions were purchased for the trip.
 With Captain Cuevos in the Dodge car, and Jose Villa driving to beat the b1nd, Julio Martinez and I followed in the Ford, having received my last in structions from Major Stokes at the border line.
 We made a direct dash for La Bolsa ranch, located on the bank of the Gulf of Lower California. It was a rorgh, tough, exceedingly sandy road almost the entire distance of about 70 miles from Yuma. We got stuck several times, but reached La Bolsa, now deserted, shortly before o'clock. Not a sign of the aviators thus far.
 But in order to make this story com plete I shall not attempt to expatiate ,on the various phases of the trip, mere. ly reproducing my notes from the time we left. the "line" until it final ly became my great honor and priv iilege of assisting in placing Colonel Bishop on the train at Wellton and then accompanying him on the train to Yuma, assisting in ministering to his wants and necessities while making the trip.
 So here goes, read it or not, just as you please:

 right out in the middle of that verit. able quagmire. This was at 4:30 p. m., and we camped there for the night. By using the spade, my com panions laughing at me while I was digging, I found dry sand. Each of Us then dug him dry spot and spread our bedding. The night before had been miserably cold and I had sat up all night, keeping big fire burn ing all night to notify my friend Green that I had found the trail of the avia- tors, but Tuesday night on the beach of the Gulf of Lower California was the coldest night ever spent, at least it seemed so at that time. 1 again sat up all night, keeping a big fire roaring all the time, for driftwood by the cord, washed down the river at overflow periods, and sent back by the gulf tides, was easily gotten, though much of it I had to did out Ol Illc u1uO Nil1l llIC opouCs
 at once concluded that the avia- tors had landed down the gulf on the northeast shore, and my companions agreed with me. We therefore de- cided to retrace our steps to the creek we had crossed going down to La Bolsa and make our way to Santa Clara, which would put us within striking distance of the Rosario sand dunes.
 Reached La Bolsa camp at 11:30 and found MT. Green and his guide, who had been there all the night before. Their horses had broken away and they had beat the brush all morning on foot, awaiting my return. The speed omiter showed we had covered 102 miles on the beach.
 At noon Wednesday, two autos came into camp, w. E. Snyder, in Dodge, and E. R. Findley in a Ford. They came in response to my note to Col onel Wilson and Major Stokes. Upon arriving MT. Snyder handed me two notes, the first of which read as fol lows:
 GO. H. 14th U. S. Infantry, "A mile, U. s. R. s. camp, Jan. 16, 10 D. m.. Tuesday. Colonel Fly:-Your mes sage of Monday night, January 15, was received by me at 7:35 p. m. Tuesday, January 16, and immediate ly telephoned to Major Stokes. Ma'o' Stokes telephoned me a few minutes ago that two machines would leave Yuma at a. m. Wednesday, January r, with adequate lubricating oil, 2aso line and rations for your camp near La Bolsa. Nothing further is known by me of the lost aviators, Bishop and Robertson. Major Stokes is sending you his latest information, which is probably better than mine. Best wishes for success in your finding something definite about Colornl Bis

COL. HARRY {. BISHOP MAKES
 DETAILED STATEMENT :OF. FLIGHT
(By B. F. FLY.)

Col Harry G. Bishop, who was mir
 acuously rescued from death by Win Proebstel MT. Gamble, the Gale boys, and MT Cameron, appreciating the earnest effort I had made to rescue him and his companion, Lieut.. w. A. Robertson, very graciously gave me his first interview with him, when l was assisting to bring him from We'll ton to Yuma, and now has accorded me the unusual privilege of an exclu- sive story of his most marvellous flight and subsequent rescue on the Sonora desert. He talked in the presence of

ed Pancho Altomerona, and the young! CT named Faustino Tiara.
 1 was never more excited in all my life than when they informed us that Aviators Bishop and Robertson pass ed within mile of their camp on the day they left San Diego on the trip that has set almost all the world agog over their venture.
 They placed the hour that the avia- tors passed that point at sometime between 8 and 4 o'clock, but they had had a long days work and were con- fused in the actual time, for it must have been at exactly noon, as sub sequent events will prove. However, that they knew the exact direction of the flight of the aerOplane there can be no possible doubt. They showed me the route the machine took, and this was substantiated by the Ameri- can engineers at work down near the river, as we'll as by the Chinese cook of the engineers camp.
 Employing Faustino Tiara as spe- cial messenger l sent news back to Colonel Wilson, Major Stokes and the Associated Press, directing the note to Captain G. A. Herbst, commanding Company H at the border line, so he could repeat it by phone.
 The messenger left at midnight on an old horse about 20 hands high purchased last year from the Recla- nation service. When two miles out of camp the horse took a notion to re- turn to camp and simply came back, the Mexican boy cussing the big beast at every step. He got another horse early Tuesday morning and made the trip in a wagon.
 Tuesday morning, January 16, we got an early start in the direction the aviators were seen passing camp. Leaving the Ford in camp, Captain Cuevos; Julio Martinez and myself, with Jose Villa driving his Dodge car struck the aviators trail and followed to the gulf near old Port Isabel We travelled in that direction as long as the car could blow it's way through the mud, which often was axle deep, and deeper. It was bitterly cold and cloudy. Finding no sign of the lost aviatOrs we went up the gulf towards the mouth of the Colorado, keeping as near the river as possible. When al most opposite La BolSa we turned back, that we might the better cover the space between the two lines we had made. Mud, mud, mud, every where. We got stuck a dozen times or more. 1t begun to rain at about 2 o'clock, and at 3 it began sleet- ing. We got into the worse mud we had encountered, requiring one hour and a half to go on even mile, the machine in motion all the time, but simply creeping along through the mud like a snail after a spring rain. Spied a clump of bushes and upon
