COULDN'T EAT OR SLEEP
UNTIL HE CONFESSED
Ohioan Admits Committing
Arson IS Years Ago.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 29.--His con-
science. that wouldn't let him eat or
sleep, led to the confession to-day by
E. II. Fielder. So, taht he set fire to his
bakery at Plain City about fifteen years
ago.
my conscience would not let me hold
II longer" he told Police Lieut.. O'Con-
nor. the latter said.
II was a little in debt at the time,
his confession ran, according to the
police, "but not any more so than the
average business man. But I wanted
some cash. What possessed me to set
FIRE to the building ! cannot say.
II was paid 500 insurance and
started in business again at the same
location. Then / came here. joined a
church. 1t was last Easter that the
awfulness of the thing possessed me and
I began to pray about it. From then on
my conscience would not let me sleep. 1

NEW RATE CONFEREES
TOPOST $4,000 BONDS
Forfeit Plan May DrasU in
Independent' Lines.

An-attenpt' to form an entirely new
kind OF freight rate conference-one
with aIheayy cash penalty for mem
bers who cut, below the fixed tariffs
will be made at a meeting in the Ship
ping Board offices next Tuesday Lines
operating from Pacific as welf as At
lantic ports in the Far East trade
routes have been asked to be ready ia
post forfeits of $10,o0Oeto guarantee their
adherence to the conference freight
rates.
The need for a conference of this
sort has grown out of succession OF
rate wars, starting last year on the
Atlantic and later patched up here only
to break outwith renewed violence on
the Pacific. a.where the linesare still
at loggerheads. Under the Shipping
Board form of conference organiza-
ton. which; is little more than gen
tlemen's agreement" there seemed
nothing to prevent one or more of the
members cutting rates and thereby dis
rupting the conferences.
Seeking gremedy for this situation,
the Shipping Board had meeting OF
the members of the North Atlantic-Faf
East conference last Tuesday. Among
the lines represented were Barber,
Kerr. Nippon Yusen Kaisha, Osaka
oHostH hAlSHd, IOyO hlSen halSna-
Mtsui7 ana Suzuki. A general agree
ment on the $4,000 bond was reached
and then an effort was made to enlist
the support OF the non-conference men,
bers. Norton. Lilly & Co.; Funch, Edge
& Co. and the Dollar Steamship Com
pany. .%~
Norton, Lilly and Funch, Edys
dropped out of the conference last year
on the ground that 1t offered no guar
antee against rate cutting, and 1t is
believed that they are prepared to re-
enter If all the other lines post forfeits
under the new form of organization.
To what extent the recalcitrant Pacific
coast lines were ready to play the game
could not be learned. but is expected
to be established Tuesday.
Successful operation of the new plan
In the Far East trade may lead to Its
adoption in other routes. Foreign
steamship men generally have looked
askance at. the Shipping Board confer
ences, holding that the only effective
form Of organization was the old pool
idea, which. was widely in use before
the war. Whether they will regard the
forfeit plan as a workable compromise
with the pool organization remains 70
be seen.

The a association saws

while the number of deaths from
tuberculosis has decreased by the figures
shown. the population of the State out
side Of New York city has increased 16
per cent If the death rate for 1907 had
continued to be effective the increase
In the population would have led to
S.s0c deaths in 1921. 1t follows that
2,50C lives were saved.
These figures indicate why the life
insurance companies are directing mora
and more money from their resources to
health conservation movements. A COM
rany that paid s46.000,0 600 in death
claims In 1921 reported that 70 per cent.
Of this was paid on account of twelve
important causes of death which, are
admittedly L. the preventable or post
ponable class.
"Organized work against tuberculosis
In the State outside of New York CITY
was begun in 1907. Similar work in the
city had been begun several years be-
fore. Since that time tuberculosis has
lost much of its terror. 1t is still a
scourge that takes heavy toll of human
Ffe, but methods and facilities for COM
batting 1t have been developed to bring
results that make 1t appear not too
much to hope that one day 1t will rank
among the negligible causes of death.
TT Is not only In decreasing the death
rate that the campaign against tubercu-
losis has been effective. The general at
tjtude toward tuberculosis and It's prob

definitely changed. The phrase. white
plague" has largely passed from use
The tuberculosis patient is not looked
cpon as a hopeless case. The disease Is
not regarded as one carrying some
measure of individual discredit.
''The New York State campaign has
been one of the most successful contests
against the spread of tuberculosis over
o wide area. Over small area, the
Birmingham, Mass. demonstration Is
the foremost example of what may be
accomplished as the degree of intensity
OF effort is increased. Here a community
of $4,000 population was so efficiently
organized through the cooperation of q
local health committee, the press, the
