HOW TO SECURE IMMUNITY Inoculation of Guinea-Pig With Tu hrrcnloftl Germ Proves It Pos sible Value of Treatment In Sanitariums. WABHXGTON. Oct. 1. "Of mora im portance than any other feature in the crusade aaalnst the scourfre of the white pUiriie ia the campaign of education." Thla emphatic declaration was made by Dr. Robert Koch, the eminent German scientist, who today again figured promi nently la conrtocersial discussion of tu berculoma before the International Con arena of Tuberculosis. Teach Children Hysrlene. Dr. Koch rwtretted that thus far most of the educational efforts in the cam paign to stamp tuberculosis out have been made quite conlinedly with adults. He emphasised the Importance of teach in hygiene to children, because, he said, they are quicker to learn the nyaienic laws than are adults. He called atten tion to the duty which Imposes Itself upon the teachers to Instruct their schol ars In all of the sanitary measures and precautions to be taken In combating tu berculosis, and added that both teachers and scholars must be thoroughly and competently taught. "I have Ions; felt In reard to this gen eral Infectious disease of tuberculosis as I have felt In regard to the many Infec tious diseases In the study of which I have occupied my life." continoed Dr. Koch, "that every effort must be taken to prevent the spread of this contagion, and. most Important of all the contam ination of human beings by one another. How to Produce Immunity. An Important subject which created considerable discussion In the proceedings of the section of the "promotion of Immu nity" was "Immunity From Tuberculo sis." A new theory was advanced in a paper by Prof.-ssor M. A. Barber of the University of Kansas: Drs. V. W. 111 lama and Gerald B. Webb, of Colorado Springs. Colo., who declared "that any successful method of producing- freedom from tuberculosis must be sought through the use of the living- iterm." That theory has been proved In experiments on guinea pigs, and Is the only successful method hv which human beings may be Immun ised, was stated In the paper. Result of Egperlments. Immunity by Inoculation with the living germa has been sccompllshed In but few diseases, principally In smallpox, but the authors declare that satisfactory Immunity from tuberculosis has only been obtained experimentally by the use of liv ing bacilli. The experiments consisted of Inoculating a-ulnea pigs, beginning with one of the deadly tubercle bacilli and then gradually Increasing the number up to the thousands. The result was. ac cording to the authors, that none of the guinea pigs have become victims of tuber culosis, as shown by post-mortem exam inations. "To ascertain any therapeutic value of this theory." state the authors, "rabbits rendered tuberculous by feeding living tubercle bacilli ere undergoing sim ilar inoculations for their cure." Treatment In Sanitarium. Section was engaged In considering the value of treatment in sanitariums and ..i.Lm.i. remilts. Dr. Kaleerlin, of Merlin, dismissed the sarnlftVanee of die- pensary examinations In systematic com bat against tuberculosis, wuuo almette. of IJlle. France. Dr. R. V. Philip, of Edinburgh, and other sci entists, advocated live necessity for sanl- tartmn truntlTient- S.-ctlon S was addressed by many emi nent American surgeons' on subjects re. lating to surgical treatment of tuber culosis In cases Involving the kidneys, Intestines. Madder and other organs. Methods for the detection of tubercu losis among school children and also the problem of better lung development in children were discussed by many speak ers. The different parts played by the nurse In stamping out tuberculosis was a sub ject around which Interest centered at the meeting of section 6. LAW DECIDE ON FORAKER U'enHniied From Jlrst Pac peat that my employment was confined to the affairs of the company In Ohio, Including Its re-organlxatlon after the decision of our Supreme Court dissolv ing the trust, and that It was ended long before t?ie company .bad become In sny a the object of legislation by Con gress or the subject of attacks of any kind in the courts or otherwise by the United States Government and before anv such legislation by Congress or any proceeding by the United States Govern ment against the company was proposed or foreseen, and that such employment r,aa never been renewed, although, as heretofore shown, again tendered and de clined In "If I did not have a right to accept that employment. I should probably be criticised for navlng been for years employed by the Ohio Tractiop Com pany, on the ground thst. while such employment has no relation to my duties In Congress, yet In some way now unforeseen the company may be subjected hereafter to legislation by Congress or to Federal procedure against It: or. perhaps. I should be con demned for once representing the Gen eral Electric Company, although that WKS before I was elected to the Senate: or the Cincinnati Telephone Company, by which I was employed for many years before and for some ttme after 1 was elected to the Senate, because it Is a branch of the Bell Telephone Com pany, and these companies the Gen eral Electric and the Bell Telephone hae now been charged, according: to the newkpapers. with the violation of anti-trust laws and are to be civilly and criminally proceeded against by the Attorney-General of the I'nlted States. No Probability of Legislation. "When I was employed by the Stand ard Oil Company, there was no mora knowledge or probability of that com pany btJng legislated about by Congress or proceeded against In the Federal courts, so far as anybody was then aware, than there was and has been ss to the other companies named at the times when I respectively represented them. If such mere possibilities are to bar employment, then no member of Congress can safely set ss attorney In any case and every one should Imme diately close his law office. No such rule has ever heretofore obtained and there la no reason why any such rule should obtain. All lawyers at least fully understand that, when a profes sional service has been rendered and has been paid for. all obligation ceases on both sides, snd that no lawyer Is bound by reason of a previous employment to show any favor at any subsequent time as attorney, as public official or other wise, to any one who may have been his client. lt Courts Decide. "Finally. If I committed any offense against the law. let somebody .pecirieaily point It out and proceed aa-a:r.st me. The courts are open and. although they have been severely criticised, yet the people have confidence In them and mill accept and-be satisfied with their Judgments. If there bv any Just basis for this reckless, wholesale defamation and attempted as sassination of character, let It take some tangible, open and fair form of procedure. In which all Interested can appear and be fully heard." WANTS MONEY TO WAGE FIGHT Haskell Makes Appeal to People of Oklahoma for Aid. mreiir nvi. rw-t 1.

BLACKMAIL CASE MISTRIAL Famous Case) Affecting Benson and Terrln Trial Settled. FLAGSTAFF. Aria.. Oct. 1. One of the most noted criminal cases In the history of Arizona has Just resulted In a mistrial here. The case waa that of the Terri tory of Arixona vs. C. P. Snell. of San Francisco, charged with sending a letter from San Francisco to Dr. B. u. rerrin. at Williams. Aria., alleged to Imply that Perrln would be prosecuted unless he should pay Snell a large sura of money for the delivery of certain documents in the possession of Snell. At the time' the letter was written the defendant was witness In the case of the United States vs. E. B. Perrln and John A. Benson, which waa tried in San Francisco In Aug ust. 1907. The case was continued until the April term of court, but there Is a well founded Impression that the District At torney will make no further prosecution.

HOPES FOR CONVICTION Cameron Declares Prosecution Has Evidence In Good Shape and Po lice Say They Have Facts Xot Yet Made Public. Max Drey, missing witness, without whose testimony the state could hardly expect to convict Edward H. Martin of the brutal murder of Nathan Wolff, has been located. Not .only that, but ac cording to a statement made by the Dis trict Attorney's office. Drey Is on his way to Portland this minute to testify at the murder trial, which Is scheduled to open next Wednesday. Drey was located In Chicago. District. Attorney Cameron said yesterday no trouble was met with in getting the Im portant witness to come back. The state Is paying his fare and an allowance for expenses, but the money Is regarded as a necessary expenditure. Drey is due In Portland this week. Police Busy with Evidence. That the case Is In good shape so far as the prosecution of Martin Is con cerned Is the assurance given by Mr. Cameron. Since Martin surrendered himself to the police the work of collect ing evidence has never been dropped and there Is considerable incnminans evidence which will not be given out un til the trial, the police say. Drey will be called to testify to selling Martin a second-hand shirt. He will thn tw asked to identify that same shirt as one found besmirched by blood a cou ple of days after the Wolff murder. Up on that testimony and corroborating fea tures, hopes or conviction are lurgeij based. The police also claim to nave blood-besmirched overcoat which once k.irH tn Mnrlln. It was fount! With a rifle stolen from Wolff's pawnshop the night of the murder. Another Important witness win rm uu Dt.,..i.n y.ivier When Martin was arrested he had scratches on his face and welts on his head.

CHANGE IN TARIFF Beveridge Declares for Maxi mum and Minimum. Speaks to large crowd Says Both Standpatters and Free traders Are Wrong Low Rate : to Friendly Trade Relations, High to Unfriendly. VALLEY CITY, N. D.. Oct 1. Albert J. Beveridge, of Indiana, tonight was cordially acclaimed at a great political demonstration by townsmen and friends on his arrival from the East and during an address in the auditorium on the tar iff. . Senator Beveridge said: America, the most modern of nations, should stand for the most modern methods and the most modern men. With a. sreat revenue to be raised because we are a great Nation; with the greatest domestic trade to day and the greatest foreign trade tomor row ; iwlth factories and farms ready to capture the markets of the world, we can not tolerate ancient tariff systems which all progressive peoples have abandoned. The free-trader Is obsolete, the stand patter out of date. Both cling to wornout theories; both declare that the world does not move. Hospitality to Ideas Is the meth od of progress; and neither stand-patters nor free-traders invite to their Intellectual firesides a single modern thought upon the tarlfr or listen to the voice of a single present-day fact. Better Tariff Needed. Yet If we are not to yield the oceans of trade to rival nations; If we are to win and Increase that prosperity which the sale of our surplus abroad alone can bring, we must adopt the best tariff methods which the ex perience of the world affords. . In the new tariff which we will make Im mediately after President Taffs Inaugura tion. we'Republlcans propose to reject alike the theory of a tarlrt-for-revenue-only and the theory of a single protective tariff, and adopt Instead of either a revenue system that will protect American Industry and labor, and at the same time win new mar kets all over the world. Tariff for Revenue Unfair. A tariff for revenue only means a tax on Imports that will bring the most revenue. But these are articles like coffee, tea, choco late, tropical fruits and many other things which all of our people consume and none of our people produce. . Most Americans drink coffee, but coffee Is not raised In the Cnited States. "We must have It, but we must Import It: therefore a tariff on coffee would bring a greater revenue than on near ly any other article. 80 a tariff for revenue only means a tariff on coffee a tax on the breakfast table. The opposition proposes a revenue-only tariff. Do they propose a tar iff on coffee, which would produce more revenue than any other article? If not, the whole tarlff-for-revenue-only logic Is sur rendered. Will Mr. Bryan. Governor John Bon or any other member of the opposition FURS! FURS!
