Electrocution
Recommended

CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 25.-Will
Washing on, negro, charged with
killing Oscar L. Carlson, Swedish re-
cluse and reputed member of noble
family, was found guilty in criminal
court here yesterday afternoon, the
jury recommending that he be cleo
trocuted. Carlson, who lived in a
secluded neighborhood on Waldens
Ridge, and who was possessed of con-
siderable property, was found dead on
q bluff near his home last July, the
body showing marks of violence, and
evidence pointing to the fact that an
effort had been made to throw it
over a precipice. Will Washington,
who had worked about residences on
the ridge, was suspected of the crime
and was arrested few days later at
Louisville, KY, with an automobile
owned by Carlson in his possession.
He denied any connection with the
killing md claimed to have secured
the automobile from a regro named
BoyG, whom the officers have never
been able to locate.

Fight Against

NEW YORK, Sept, % Omitted
Press - The groatest' campaign
AGAINST tuberculosis in the history OF
the country, national in scope and to
be carried out through 1900 aft1li-
ated state and local societies, was
announced today by che National Tu-
berculosis Association.
The association is counselicd and
directed by such leading medical and
public health authorities MS Sir Will
liam Osler, DR.. David r. Lyman, Col.
George E. Bushnell, DR.. Lawrence
Brown, Dr. Alfred Mayer and DIR.
Henry Barton Jacobs.
The success of the campaign will
insure the saving of thousands Of
lives that otherwise would be claimed
by this disease during the coming
wear, according to estimates based on
,ast experience of tire association, the
officials said.
Last year tuberculosis caused the
death of 10000 persons in the coun-
try. Strain of military service upon
men and the exertions of war work
on women are already beginning to
become apparent il the development
of tuberculosis among persons IN
whom the bacilli had long lain dor
mant, it was said.
The loss to the United States in life
and labor during the past year. it
was estimated, was $500, 100000 from
tuberculosis alone. Unless something
is done this year it is believed, the
loss of life and labor value will be
greater,
1t is estimated that not less than
900, 900 persons and probably more
than 100000 have tuberculosis in
this country at present.
