THE MORNING OREOONIJLlf, ' FRIDAY,' MAT 19, 1905. WHITE-PLRGUE MR Physicians of Nation Begin It on .tuberculosis. TERRIBLE LOSS TO NATION Causes One-Eighth of JAte Insurance Losses Value of Life Com pared -With Cost of Cure Shows Large Profit. WASHINGTON. May IS. An attack on tuberculosis from every quarter consti tutes a programme begun here today and to continue tomorrow. In -which more than 2C"0.of the leading physicians of the country are participating under the desig nation of the first annual meeting of the National Association for tho Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Dr. Edmund L. Trudeau, Dr. William Osier and Dr. Herman K. Biggs are the president and vice-presidents respectively of the asso ciation and each addressed the general meeting. During the - afternoon session . it was stated that in Pennsylvania the average cost of curing a tuberculosis case Is fl2: in New York the cost was estimated at from V to tS per week: in Maryland $9 per week. In comparison with this It was stated that the value of the life saved, together with the cost of attention and medicines in cases where no special treatment was secured, amounted to a total of 53000. The Investment was said to return a dividend of not 5. but 5000 per cent in favorof the organized effort as represented in the modern institutions. As an Instance, it was stated that 12 pex cent of the death benefits paid by one of the "big three" life insurance com panies was due to this cause; that over one-half of such benefits were paid dur ing the first five years of the life of the policies and that of the 1500,000.000 paid in death benefits by 11 of the large com panies yearly, $6,000,000 Is paid on account of this disease. "In spite of its frivolity, in spite of its size. In spite of Its other things which I hesitate to allude to. New Tork has set the pace In legislation, institutions and treatment for tuberculosis." Dr. Osier made this statement follow ing tnat of Dr. Trudeau, in opening the meeting. Dr. Osier said that educa tion regarding tuberculosis was the thing to strive for. He discussed this feature under three heads: "Education of the public, of the physi cian, and the patient." The public, he said, was awake, but sitting on the edge of the bed and not yet dressed. n this awakening, however, he asserted, much had been accomplished over past condi tions. When the public got dressed, he predicted that much activity would fol low and much would be accomplished to ward stamping out tuberculosis.' NEGRITO TO BE EDUCATED NEWSPAPER MAN TO GIVE BOY FRIDAY A CHANCE. Bought From His Tribe in the Phil ippine Islands for Fourteen Dol lars Several -Years Ago. SEATTLE. Wash.. May 18. (Special.) George H. Fuller, the Rochester, N. T., newspaperman who established the Manila Freedom during the Spanish American War and who still has exten sive business Interests In Manila, will try the experiment of educating Friday, the Negrito boy who was brought to the States by Dr. T. K. Hunt. Friday belongs to Mr. Fuller. That is, the newspaperman found the lad a de pendent in his tribe and bought him for (14. That was four and a half years ago and since that time Friday has traveled through Japan. China, Indo-China and 51am with his American protector. Inci dentally he has spent seven months in school and Mr. Fuller says the lad's teacher declared him to be the brightest boy she had ever seen. "I do not know how the experiment will work," said Mr. Fuller today. "I am told that another attempt to civilize a Negrito failed utterly. This is the only other effort that I can find was ever made and the education of Friday will be something of a test of the effect of American methods upon the uncivilized tribes of the Philippines. "The only other effort was that made by a Spanish officer several years ago. He took a Negrito boy to Europe, travel ing with him through various countries and giving the lad 12 years of European' life, with a fair education thrown in. I am told he enjoyed all the advantages possible. "The Spanish officer was ordered back to the Philippines and the Negrito lad went with him. He disappeared after landing and was found months after with his tribe, living the same wild life as the others. It" was a clear case of reversion to type and it may be the same ex perience will bo had with Friday. It will be an Interesting experiment, anyway, and if it works well will be of value to those interested in the development of the natives of the islands." An experience along t.ie same lines as that of the Spanish officer was had by Dr. T. K. Hunt with Antaero, an Igo rrote boy whom he had with him while he was governor of the provinces of the Igorrotes. Antaero was with Dr. Hunt for more, than three years and attended the . St. Louis Fair. He had attended school and was a bright, capable lad. Dr. Hunt left him with his tribe for a month or two and when he returned found him as dirty and wild as the other tribes men. He had lost ambition in the mean time. FUGITIVE TAKES POISON. Florldan Who Deserted Wife Found Dead With Another Woman. NEW .YORK, May 18. Herbert" Leon Kepler, a 'bookkeeper, whose home was at Deland, Fla.. died in a room in Sus ten's Hotel today at Forty-sixth street and Sixth avenue from morphine poison ing. With him at the lime was a woman, who told the police that her name was Mrs. Dona Miller, and that she had fled from Deland with Kepler two weeks ago. Mrs. Miller said Kepler was the son of a Deland physician, and that he left rtonaa suaaeniy Decause or some trouble which he got into there. He left a wife and several children behind when he fled, and she left her husband to come with him. She has been detained by the po lice pending a further Investigation. Kep ler was about 35 years old. In the room which Kepler and the wo man occupied the police found two small bottles. One was filled with morphine and the other, nearly empty, contained a trace of the drug. Mrs. Miller told the police that Kepler had heen despondent for several davt, and had told her that unless his lather did "omethlng at once to fix -up the trouble. at DeJand he feared semetbiag dreadful would happen. Later Mrs. Miller told the Coroner that a portion of her story as she gave It to the police was untrue. She had not lived wiia ner irasBana in several years, sne said, and aid not flee from Deland with Kepler. She had been in New York or vicinity for several years, and had been a witness In the William Hopper Xoung murder case in this city several years ago. She lived in the house wlth the murdered woman, she said, and had first introduced her to Young. Mrs. Miller also said that Kepler left a letter addressed to his father and mother. begging that he and Mrs. Miller be not separated in death, and that his parents and daughter forgive him for his act In view of this letter, the police be lieve that Kepler intended to kill both the woman and himself. ST. JOHNS HAS DISCUSSION Proposed Occupation Tax Arouses Much Adverse Comment. The proposed occupation tax is a live question in St. Johns at present. While a special committee from the Council is trying to formulate a schedule that will be fair and equitable, a strong opposition' is being built up against the tax itself that will prove troublesome- M. L. Hol bropk, one of the heaviest property own ers of St. Johns, says that an occupation tax should be resorted to by any town only as a last resort. He thinks that it Is a sort of double tax on property. How ever, Mr. Holbrook says he will pay the tax If the public needs demand it, but thinks that the salaries fixed for the new officers are altogether too high and that the public should Insist on their reduc tion. G. M. Hall, F. E. Baker. Donelly & Smith. Nathan Freedman. A. Edger ton, Shepard & Tufts, T- T. Parker, Fred Koerner. Potter & Gould, A. Irvine, Couch & Co., E. C. Hurlburt, Smith & Poff, P. W. HInman. Dr. W. W. Hicks.. Anderson & Allen, BIckner. Hyatt & For tune. St. Johns Grocery Co., E. Elliott, St. Johns Sash & Door Co.. L. B. Chip man, N. F. 2Coren, G. W. Overstreet. Rogers & Van Houtcn: have expressed themselves as opposed to an occupation tax. Mayor W. H. King. Pascal Hill, W. W. Raser. W. J. Peddlcord. E. A. Magoon, and some others say they have no objection to an occupation tax pro vided It Is not too high or burdensome. Some say wait until the committee has completed their schedule. The St. Johns Commercial Club voted against the occu pation tax at a recent meeting 20 to 2, and condemned the salary of the City At torney as excessive for the amount of work required. The fixed charges for the salaries of the present officers now amount to J2700 per annum. This year a 3 mills levy on 5317.000 will yield about $900. The salary charges and the contingent expenses make nearly $5000. Next year the taxable property will amount to -about 5400.000, and as the charter allows a 10-mIU tax levy from this levy 54000 could be realized. This sum, with the income from licenses and other sources, it is estimated that after this year tho city will have ample income without the occupation tax, but for the present year it Is the judgment of the Mayor and Councilmen that a small occupation tax is needed to tide over the city until taxes for next year can be col lected. Afterward there will be no need for such tax. The committee working on the schedule for the tax has not given out any of its figures, and until it does those favorable to the tax ask the resi dents -to withhold their judgment. PROPER USE OF FORESTS Forestry Bureau Issues Volume of Great Practical Use. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. May 18. The Bureau of Forestry has prepared for distribution the second and final volume of the "Primer of For estry." by GlfTord Pinchot, chief of the bureau. Two years ago the first volume of this little work was completed and dis tributed by the Department of Agricul ture. It dealt with tree life, the life of the forest and the enemies of the forest. So great was the demand that several editions were necessary, and in all about 225,000 copies of the first volume have been distributed. The second volume deals with "practical .forestry," the purpose of which is "to make the forest render Its best service to man in such a way as to increase rather than to diminish Its usefulness in the future." In other words, practical forestry, as defined in the primer, means "both the use and the preservation of the forest." There are four chapters in the second volume. The first tells of the varied uses of the forest, tells how it should be thinned, how new growth must be en couraged, and describes the proper meth ods of cutting trees. Chapter 2 deals solely with lumbering, contrasting con servative with ordinary methods and giv ing valuable Information - to the lumber men. It is an intensely practical chapter that should be read by every Western lumberman. The third chapter discusses the influences forests have on climate, and explains the effect of forest cover on temperature, moisture, evaporation, rain fall and fallen rain. The last chapter Is a brief discussion of forestry as practiced abroad. It is evident from this sketch that the United States is far behind the civilized nations of Europe, though confidence is expressed that the foundation so well laid in this country will lead to the develop ment of an American system of forest management, adequately adjusted to our own conditions, that will compare favor ably with the systems practiced else where. The Primer, will be read with profit by everyone who takes a practical Interest In the forests, and who wishes to see them protected and properly developed as one of the greatest resources of the Na tion. It is Issued for free distribution, and' is to be h8d either through the Depart ment of Agriculture or from Senators and Representatives. OREGON'S COAL PRODUCT Only Western State Which Had In crease in 1904. OREGON'IAX NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. May 18. Oregon is the only state west of the Rocky Mountains that pro duced more coal in 1904 than in the pre vious year. In fact, only ten states in the entire Union show an Increase in that year. This fact Is emphasized in a pre liminary report of the Geological Survey on coal production in the United States during 1S04. None of the Pacific Coast Stales are yet classed among the large coal-producers, but Washington -holds the lead by a very large margin, though the production in that state fell off considerably last year. Oregon ranks second. and produces much more coal than California, Alaska and Idaho combined, but for all that its total yield last year was only 111,540 short tons. Flood Causes Hunger InXew Mexico.

MORE RIOTING IN CHICAGO Nonunion- Driver Beaten uy Mob. Shea Refuses to Answer Ques tions at Injunction Hear ing Parents Fined. CHICAGO. May IS. Peace in the team sters strike is still hanging In the bal ance, and. although It Is generally" ex pected that a settlement will soon be reached, it seems tonight farther away than it did 24 hours ago. It was confidently asserted by the Teamowners Association that the team sters had consented to arbitrate with them the question of whether or not union xeamsters should make deliveries to tho boycotted hou.e.. President Shea, of the Teamsters' Union, today upset this arrangement entirely, declaring that he had never agreed to any such proposition. Members of the Teamowners' Association, however, stated just as positively that the officials of the Teamsters' Union had agreed to such an arbitration. The teamowners and officials of the Teamsters Union held a protracted meet ing tonight. The teamowners' demanded that drivers should make deliveries to any place to which, in the ordinary course of business, they might bo sent. The teamsters accepted this, but stip ulated that the rule should not apply to houses where the boycott existed. The difference betwen the two propositions rally covered all the questions Involved in the present strike, and at 1:30 in the morning the meeting broke up, the mem bers of the Teamsters' Joint Council an nouncing that they would make a' reply to the teamowners tomorrow night. The cab drivers, at a meeting which lasted until after midnight, decided that they would hereafter deliver passengers to whatever point they wished to go. Rioting Breaks Out Again. For the first time in several days a riot broke out today and there were numerous fights between nonunion men and the union teamsters. One of 'the dis turbances, at Twenty-second street and Indiana avenue blocked all traffic and delayed street-cars for half an hour. The police were compelled to use their clubs vigorously In order to disperse the crowd, and made several arrests. The nonunion driver for the wholesale grocery house of Steele, Wecdles Co.. who was the original cause of the outbreak through no fault of his own. was badly beaten before the police could save him. In some portions of the South Side a vigorous antagonism to union men has developed. Several union teamsters were attacked today near Twenty-sixth street and Wentworth avenue and their union buttons torn off. The men were vigor ously punished before making their es cape. Gompers Works for Peace. President Samuel Gompers. of the American Federation of Labor, who has been fn Chicago for the past two days negotiating for peace in the present trouble, left for Dayton, O.. tonight. Be fore leaving the city he said that so far he had accomplished very little, but the prospects were that both sides would soon be able to reach a- basis where a settlement of the difficulties satisfactory to both interests would be dlclded upon. "While I am anxious to see an amicable adjustment of the difficulty." Mid Mr. Gompers, "still I am not In favor of the teamsters surrendering unconditionally and I am of the opinion that they will not have to do so. If the trouble still exists when I return to Chicago next Saturday, I will take up the matter where I left off this afternoon and continue my efforts to bring about a settlement." Shea Causes Lawyerfj Wrangle. Mr. Shea was the chief witness In the hearing today before Master in Chancery Sherman. He refuted to answer the great majority of questions put to him. declar ing that his answers would tend to in criminate him. His evidence was Inter rupted by repeated wrangles between the attorneys, which consumed much time and In which both sides displayed much bit terness. Finally, in order to allow the belligerent lawyers sufficient time in which to cool their passions, the Master adjourn ed court until tomorrow morning. The parent? of six school children, who have taken part in the strikei because of delivery of coal by nonunion men, were arraigned today before Justice Hur ley and each of them fined 520 and costs for not sending the children to school. Other arraignments will be made tomor row. ADJOURN UNTIL JUNE FIRST ODDFELLOWS TO MEET DURING EXPOSITION. Grand Lodge Gathers, but Promptly Adjourns Until After Opening of the Fair.

The Grand Lodge of Washington. I. O. O. F.. will meet at . Vancouver. Wash., June 5.

The report of the grand patriarch seys: "Had the grand patriarch the time and the grand encampment appropriated more mosey for his expenses) so that he might have done more Visiting, there might have been a greater gain. I would recommend that the salary of the grand scribe be made JS09 per year, and that the constitu tion for subordinate encampments be amended that they may have two terms a year, if so desired. Another recom mendation is made that 'the annual tax imposed on subordinate encampments be reduced for the current "year io 30 cent?. Order Is Growing.

PARRY WINS RE-ELECTION Opposition to-His Policy oh Labor and Railroad Question Secre tary Jlctcalf Speaks on r Their Growth. ATLANTA, Ga.. May 18. The National Association of Manufacturers today re elected David M. Parry president, by ac clamation, chose New Tork City as the place for the next annual convention and decided that the association shall be in corporated under the laws of New York State. The opening address at today's session was by George J. Seabury, of New York, who made a long discussion of tariff revision and the remedy. After the re-election of F. P. Stlllman. of New York, treasurer, the roll call ot states for vice-presidents followed. The choice of president was the occa sion for a warm fight. The position taken by Mr. Parry on the labor question and on the matter of Government control of railroads developed much opposition among those who held views differing from his. Resolutions were adopted opposing anti injunction legislation, denouncing the eight-hour law and favoring gold ex change with silver-using countries and the usual vote of thanks to the enter tainers. Secretary Metcalf. of the Department of Commerce and Labor, addressed the members of the association tonight. He was greeted by a large audience of repre sentatives from cverv part of the land. Mr. Metcalf began his discussion by de claring, and establishing his statement by figures, that the South within the last decade and at the present time has grown and is growing in commercial importance and manufactures more rapidly than any other section of the country. Her popu lation and every product of the sol and her iron and coal production show a higher percentage of Increase than the United States as a whole. Turning his attention to the Importance of the United States as a manufacturing country, he said the United States leads the world in that respect, the value of her products being equal to that ot Great Britain. France and Germany combined. The total value of her manufactures In 1900 was approximately J13.O0O.O00.OCO. In spite of this fact, the United States, the greatest manufacturing country, exports but $oO9.000.000 of the i4.0CO.000.COO of manu factured goods which enter Into the world's international trade. Since 1S9S the United States has led the world in the export of domestic product". Ot our man ufactured products only about 8 per cent finds Its way to foreign markets. The re-, mainlng 92 per cent is consumed by our people. The production of our manu factures is increasing more rapidly than our population.
