Resolution urging that the best interests of the public health demanded a continuance of the fight against bubonic plague were udopted. The afternoon session waa devoted to addresses and discussions by various del egates to the conference. The various physicians related experiences that had come within their observation, and it was generally urged that every effort be made to continue the fight against the bubonio plague rather than permit it to relax in energy. It Is the first effort to organise and unite the boards of health of the Pacific Coast in a battle against the bubonic plague. The conference was attended by many of t Ha trtrinnt mo.11.al men nf thft Rlnna and was held in the rooms of the City and County Medical Society in the Medical building. The boards of health of Cali fornia, Washington and Oregon were offi cially represented, and several Govern ment quarantine Inspectors were also in attendance. The movement was origi nated several months ago by Dr. N. K. Foster, secretary of the California State Board of Health, who attended the con ference here yesterday. He suggested to the officers of the health boards of Oregon and Washington and the provincial boards of Northwestern Canada the idea of the boards' meeting to discuss the sub ject. The suggestion resulted in a formal call by Dr. Poster for the conference which was held in Portland because of its central location. Among those who attended were Dr. X. K. Foster, of Sacramento: Dr. Tib betts. of Los Angeles, a member of the California State Board of Health: Dr. K. El H.'cs, of Seattle, secretary of the Washington State Board of Health; Dr. A. P.

PoliI, Portland, and others. Dr. Yenney was made vice president of the trl-state conference. The following resolutions were adopted: The association desires to publicly ree csnlxe the character and value of the work that has been done In the places on this Coast where bubonic league has appeared. This work hs been successful in stamping out the disease among human beings and reducing It to a minimum among rodents: achievements of no small moment, when the general history of the disease In the present pandemic is taken into considera tion. Put. while recognising the thoroughness and the value of this work, the association desires to call attention to the peculiar nature of tha disease, in that Its perma nency in a community does not depend upon its existence among human beings, but rather among rats. And while tne eplsootlo Is at present held In abeyance, its peculiar persistence must not be forgotten. In view of the foregoing, this association does hereby resolve: Must Continue Work. First. That In its opinion the necessity of continuing the work of fighting the dis ease in the places where it has made Its appearance still exists and that the work should continue unabated for an Indefinite period. Such work to Include the catching and extermination of rodents. Second. That reasonable precautionary regulations for vessels should be continued, this to Include the fumigation of vessels In accordance with a uniform plan for all ports Interested Third, That, all municipalities of the states and provinces included in the boun daries of this association shall put uniform preventive measures into effect in accord ance with recommendations of the asso ciation. Following are the recommendations atlopted: 1. The destruction and examination of rata for the plague. !. Disinfection of all vessels at least one ech month. ;t Sanitary improvements of such char acter as to secure efficient collection, care and destruction of gartage and stable of fal. 4. Rendering all buildlnR-s. docks, ware houses, markets etc.. rat-prof. With reference to the subject of tuber culosis the following resolutions were adopted: War on Tuberculosis. The Public Health Arsoclatlon of the pacific Coast, while recognlxing the neces sity for travel on the part of those af flicted with tuberculosis, desires, neverthe less to call the attention of the medical profession to the evident danger to the public n-alth tiecewmrlly Involved In such travel, when the Individual Is Ignorant of proper methods of personal hygiene or wll fuilv nerlignt of the same. 1. That physicians discourage, as far as - 1& , Mrs, A. B. Stone. Peninsula Rose Association in preparing for the Rose Festival of 1909. Weekly meetings will be held in the clubrooni Monday nights, when addresses will be delivered on rose culture by those cap able of giving instruction and articles on roses will be read, a regular course of Instruction being Inaugurated through the club. At present there is a membership of SO. but it fa expected to run up to at least 200 In a short time. As eoon as the real work of preparing for the Rose Fes tival is under way. the Rose Culture Club will supplement the efforts of the Peninsula Rose Association in every way the main organization may direct. The new club feels fortunate In securing for Its first president Mrs. Stone, who is thoroughly competent and able to lead such an organization. ST. JOHN HAS VOTED WET Passes Ordinance Over Mayor's Veto, but With Restrictions. St. John has at last gone wet. Last June the people voted that the town should be dry, and then the Council passed an ordinance licensing saloons. The Mayor vetoed this, and the Council passed an ordinance Tuesday, night over the Mayor's veto, again permitting sa loons to obtain a license. But there are restrictions. No saloon may have more than one room. No saloon can have screens or other obstructions to prevent an uninterrupted view from the street. Neither can there be any women or music or free lunch or anything else than the mere sale of liquors in the L place. It was a hot session of the council. At first it was thought that a Joker had been Incorporated in the ordinance that would shut out all but two saloons. The district was restricted to a stretch on Burlington street that was presently found to be occupied by a street of an other name. It would have allowed the four saloons of St. John to occupy but two buildings. This was remedied, and the amended ordinance was passed by a vote of 6 to 2. There can be but one saloon, however, to each 1200-inhabitants. PRISONER BREAKS JAIL Tom Brown Is Overtaken and in Fight Gets Both Eyes Blacked. CHEHALia Wash.. Dec. 15. (Special.)

Mill -TRUST Li UPHELD BY TAFT Sounds Praises of Unions and Good Which They Do for Workingmen. OPPOSITION OUT OF DATE President-Elect Speaks at Banquet of Civic Federation to Assem blage of Leaders of Cap ital and Labor. NEW YORK. Dec. 16. The annual session of the National Civic Federa tion in this city was brought to a close last night with a brilliant banquet, which grouped together at one of the five score of individual tables President elect Taft and Mrs. Taft, Samuel Gom pers. August Belmont, A. B. Garretson, chief of the Brotherhood of Railway Conductors; Melville E. Ingralls, ex president of the Big Four Railroad; Presluent Seth Low. of the Federation, and Mrs. Low: Judge and Mrs. Alton B. Parker and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie. At other tables at the banquet hall of the Hotel Astor sat employers and many employes of corporations. John D. Rocke feller, Jr.. and Frank B. Kellogg, who is prosecuting the Government's Inquiry into the Standard Oil Company, were near neighbors, though not at the same table. Andrew Carnegie and John Mitchell sat side by side. President of. Whole Nation. The notable throng of men and women brought together by the Federation led Mr. Taft, who was the principal speaker of the evening, to remark that he had been sitting with company with which It hardly would have been well for him to associate prior to the election. He then declared that all that had happened before the election was a closed book to him and he would be the President of all the people. Mr. Taft was the last of eight speak ers. Those who preceded him were Mr. Ixiw. who acted as toBStmaster. and Messrs. Mitchell. Gompers. Carnegie, Belmont. Ingalls and Garretson. Mr. Taft spoke entirely extemporane ously and briefly. Much had been said during the evening concerning the prob lem of the "twilight zone." where state Jurisdiction ends and federal authority begins. The Sherman anti-trust law also had been attacked by Mr. Ingalls, who assailed it as an antiquated meas ure, which should be entirely driven from the statute books. Defends Sherman Lav and Unions. Mr. Taft came to the rescue of the Sherman law and said that, while he believed with others that certain amend ments were necessary, he would be op posed to any attempt at its repeal. As to the "twilight zone," Mr. Taft declared the country had got along very well un der the Constitution and he believed it would continue .to find that instrument all-wise and Indispensable. Speaking of labor. Mr. Taft said: Time was when everybody who employed labor was oposed to labor unit ns. Time was when these organisations were re garded as a menace. That time has now largely passed away and the man who today objects to the organization of labor should b relegated to the last century. Labor unions have done marvels for labor and in the future will do more. They will avoid- the reduction to a level of all workingmen, whether earnest and energetic or shiftless In their work. Labor unions will encourage workingmen not to level down, but to level up, ind will exemplify that those who lead in energy will have the leadership and reward. Mr. Taft declared that he believed laborers on the one hand and capitalists on the other have equal rights of or ganization for the protection of their own Interests. . The following officers were unanimous ly chosen at today's session: President, Seth Low; vice-presidents, Samuel Gompers, Nathan J. Bachelder, Ellison A. Smith and Benjamin Ide Wheeler; treasurer, Isaac N. Seligman; statistician. Ralph P. Faulkner. FIGHTS PAPKE TO DRAW Hugo Kelly Gives His Opponent Hard Fight. LOS "ANGELES, Cal.. Dec. 16. Hugo Kelly, of Chicago, and Billy Papke, ex middleweight champion, fought 25 fast rounds at tlie Jeffries Vernon arena last night. At the close of the final round, with both men fighting strong-. Referee James J. Jeffries called a draw. Kelly left the ring without a mark, while Papke was a sight with both eyes closed and cheek bones pounded to a pulp. The draw decision was loudly pro tested by Kelly's backers and a ma jority of the 4500 spectators. The fight was fast from start to fin ish. The men tired in the last 10 rounds and Jeffries was forced almost to fight both of .them to break In clinches. Kelly almost won the fight in the first minute, when he beat Pap ke to the ropes and had the "Illinois Thunderbolt" groggy. At various stages throughout the fight either one man or the other seemed to be win ning: by a knockout, but each boxer recovered and fought stubbornly. Kelly did the cleaner hitting, although Papke was the aggressor in every round. In the fourth Papke dropped Kelly with a clean right to the Jaw, and it seemed like a knockout, but Kelly rallied desperately and made the round even. Papke bled freely from the nose and mouth. In the last few rounds Papke seemed entirely blind, with both eyes appar ently completely closed. The men weighed in at 158 pounds at 7 o'clock and both seemed In perfect condition. Papke and his manager, Sam Berger, were hooted by the crowd, which showed its favor for Kelly throughout. FRAXKIE NEIL IS WHIPPED Goes Down in Twelve Rounds Before English Champion. BOSTON, Dec. 16.
