French Prize for American Trainer.
PARIS. May 28. The French Humane
Society has given a handsome prize and
a gold medal to Eugene Leigh, the Amer
ican trainer, for the exemption of his
stables from brutality, the thoroughness
of their sanitary equipment, and the spe
cial care given to the horses. This leads
French turf circles to make sarcastic ref
erences to the alleged American methods
of giving stimulants to race horses.

H KBk2hL? 55s ATTRACT ON
PHILADELPHIA, May 28. Tale Uni
versity carried off first honors In the in
tercollegiate championship on Franklin
Field this afternoon alter a bard fight.
Instead of 20 points, as predicted, only
nine points separated the New Haven
representatives from their old rival. Har
vard. The Cambridge men beat Pennsyl
vania by only 1 1-3 points. The scores of
the 31-polnt winners are as follows:
Tale. 34 1-3; Harvard, 25 1-3; Pennsyl
vania, 24; Princeton, 16; Cornell. 15; Sy
racuse, 10 1-3; Colgate, 6; Columbia, 6;
Amherst. ; New York University, 2;
Haverford, 2.
Tale took three firsts, two seconds, one
third and seven fourths; Harvard, three
firsts, one second, one third and one
fourth; Pennsylvania, one first, four sec
onds, three thirds, and one .fourth; Prince
ton, one first, two seconds, one third,
and two fourths; Cornell, two firsts, two
thirds, and one iourth; .Syracuse, one
first, and one third; Colgate, two sec
onds; Columbia, one first; Amherst, pne
second, and one third; New York Univer
sity and Haverford. one third each. Be
sides this. Tale, Harvard and Syracuse
divided first honors in the pole vault.
The performance of the men was as fine
as has been seen at any intercollegiate
meet. Two Intercollegiate records were
broken and a third was equalled, while
In several other events the time was
made within fractions of the best figures.
J. B. Taylor, the colored member of
Pennsylvania's track team, broke the rec
ord of 48 2-6 seconds In winning the quarter-mile
run. He finished two yards In"
the lead, running easily.
The pole vault record of 11 feet 7
inches was passed and the new figure
placed at 11 feet VA Inches by R. B. Grlng,
of Harvard; H. L,. Gardiner, Syracuse,
and W. McL&nahan. of Tale, who were
tied for first place. On the jump-off for
medals, McLanahan cleared the bar at 11
feet 9 Inches, but these figures will not
stand, because they were made after the
event had ended. The record equalled was
that for the half mile, 1:56 4-5. and was
done by E. B. Parsons, of Tale. He could
have undoubtedly passed the figures had
he been pushed hard.
The surprise of the day was Tale's fail
ure to come up to expectations, and the
good showing made by Pennsylvania. Tale
scored more fourths than she did firsts,
seconds and thirds put together. Pennsyl
vania's unexpected strength lay In Cart

KDNAPEES ASK TOO HUGH.
State Department Will Not Meet
Terms of Pericardls' Captors.
WASHINGTON. May 28. The kid
napers of Perdlcaris and his stepson,
Varley, In Morocco, have submitted theh?
terms for ransom, and the State Depart
ment has decided that they are absolute
ly Impossible of acceptance.
A long cablegram from United States
Consul-General Gummer'e was received
by Secretary Hay today. The Consul
states in substance that Razouili, the
bandit who kidnaped Perdlcaris and his
stepson, Varley, had been heard from,
and made a set of demands, which the
British Minister and Mr. Gummere had
deemed it their duty to lay before their
governments. Razouili demanded that the
Moorish forces should withdraw from the
district In which his hand operated leav
ing them in control. He asked a large
money ransom, to be collected from the
Governors of Tangier and Fez, who hap
pen to be bitter enemies. He further
demanded absolute immunity for himself
and his followers from pursuit or pun
ishment for the kidnaping and other
crimes which they had committed In the
past. To cap the climax of his demands.
Razoili insisted that the United States
and Great Britain should solemnly guar
antee the observance by the Moorish
Government of the foregoing stipulations.
Secretary Hay had a conference with
the President, and it was agreed that
Razoulll's terms could not be met. To
grant them would be equivalent to forc
ing the Sultan of Morocco to abdicate in
favor of a brigand, so far as a consid
erable part of a Moorish tribe was con
cerned. Moreover, the United States
could not, without establishing a new
and dangerous precedent, undertake to
guarantee the acta of another govern
ment. The next step is in doubt. Admiral
Chadwick will' be at Tangier by tomor
row, on the Brooklyn, to be followed In
the course of a day or two by the re
mainder of his fleet. As the utmost con
fidence is reposed In the discretion and
judgment of the Admiral, the present dis
position is to leave him freehanded to
deal with this case in co-operation with
Consul Gummere.
It Is reported here that the French
Government, which, under its recent
treaties with Great Britain has acquired
a dominating interest in Morocco, may
naturally be rather nervous over any
foreign Influence in the affairs of that
country; and this fact It is suggested
may lead to the exercise by the French
Government of some effective Influence
in the direction of securing Perdlcaris' re
lease, which will obviate any hostile move
by .Admiral Chadwick.

Does Not Now Want Three Floors of
Hotel at St. Louis Convention.
CHICAGO, 'May 2S. (Special ) William
R. Hearst has given up the three flo"ors,
aggregating 150 rooms, that he had en
gaged at the Planters' Hotel, St. Louis,
for the week of the Democratic National
Convention. Andrew M. Lawrence, one
of Mr. Hearst's representatives In Chi
cago, telegraphed to the Planters' man
agement today canceling the contract
Six weeks ago or thereabouts Mr.
Hearst's agents started in to buy up all
the available hotel space In the World's
Fair city for the convention season. They
couldn't get enough, their limit being
reached only through the refusal of the
tavern-keepers to sacrifice the interests
of other patrons to their demands. That,
however, was when the Hearst boom was
at Its zenith before Indiana, Wisconsin,
Ohio and other states where hopes had
been staked high had spoken.

BIG THEFT OF GOLD 0EE.
Robbers Take $20,000 "of Treasure
From Arizona Mine.
TUCSON, Arizona. May 2S. Twenty
thousand dollars' worth of gold ore,
sorted and sacked, was stolen from the
Esmerelda mine. In Sonora, a few nights
ago, and Mexican rurales are now ecour
Ing the country round about In an effort
to discover where the treasure is con
cealed. J. R. Henderson, superintendent
of the mine, believes that the robbers
were former employes, as the ore stolen
was taken from some rich pockets in
the mine and was piled in 60 sacks along
side the lower grade ores.
The robbers knew how to discriminate,
for every sack of the rich ore was taken
and none of the lower grades was
touched. The ore was piled up not a 100
yards from the bunkhouse, and how the
robbers carried it away without disturb
ing the superintendent or his men and
where they concealed it. Is a mystery.
The Mexican authorities believe that
the robbers have concealed the ore In
some old workings In tne mountains
near by. awaiting a favorable opportun
ity to dispose of it As a result and be
cause of a handsome reward offered by
the owners of the mine, searching parties
are examining every old shaft and pros
pect hole for miles around, but no trace
of the treasure has been discovered.
The robbers chose a rainy night and
their tracks were covered- up before
morning, but they could hardly go far
with the ore, as tne country Is very
rough.

Treatment of Consumption
Illinois State Medical Society Hears an Interesting: Symposium.
TJBERCULOSIS was the subject of a
sjmposlum before the Illinois State
Medical Society at its recent ses
sion In Bloomington. It was the opening
gun in a campaign against "the great
white plague" which the profession has
determined to prosecute. The account that
follows Is from the Chicago Tribune.
Papers were read by Drs. Frank Billings,
George W. "Webster, Robert M. Preble, H.
N. iloyer. Homer M. Thomas, and
Charles L. Mix. Startling facts, were set
forth and Interesting conclusions reached.
For instance, it was shown by statistics
that consumption causes more than 11 per
cent of the deaths in this state and that
ictims of the disease are usually young,
when the vital forces should be strong and
the resisting power great-
And jet, notwithstanding the sinister
history of the disease, the assertion was
made, unqualifiedly, that It is not only
preventable, but curable if recognized in
its early stages.
It was brought out that the organism of
tuberculosis selects males in urban popu
lation and females in rural districts, as
indicated by the following table:
Deaths From Consumption.
Cook Remainder
County. of state,
1902. 11KO. 1902. 1903.
Males 1.672 1,837 1,477 1.322
Females 1.019 1.170 1.S43 1,752
A reason assigned for this state of af
fairs Is the fact that In rural districts men
live out of doors and women indoors, while
in cities the conditions are, to some ex
tent, reversed. ""
Patio Outside of Cook County.
The ratio of deaths from consumption In
Illinois cities outside of Cook County Is
set forth In a table compiled by Dr.
Charles L. Mix, as follows:
Set.. 1900. Pet. 1903
Aurora S.10 1006
Belleville 100 9 SO
Damllle 11 M 9.S3
Decatur ....12.11 8.
Galeebur? ... 10.37 10 13
Jacksonville 11.55 10.87
Ottawa 10 07 9 83
Qulncr 11.51 IOCS
SprlnEfleld 11.37 12.23
Dr. Mix has made a special study of the
conditions prevailing In Chicago, and he
concludes that there Is no longer any
doubt that the disease is spread by con
tact. "Wherever congestion Is greatest in
the larger cities the mortality rato Is high
est. Thus within the last nine months 56
houses In Chicago furnished two or more
deaths from tuberculosis.
Infection in Chicago.
The doctor has prepared a table of
streets furnishing ten or more deaths from
tuberculosis within nine months:

Drugs of Little Use.
The conclusion from conditions indicated
by the foregoing table Is that the treat
ment of the disease Is largely hygienic
Drugs play a small part The first and
most essential thing Is to supply the pa
tient with good, pure air.
One of the most important new facts In
the treatment of tois disease is the pa
tient can be supplied at home with the
necessary air. Nothing was more hopeless
than these cases so long as It was be
lieved that a change of climate was abso
lutely essential. It Is realized now that
the air of almost any locality is suffi
ciently pure for all practical purposes.
"While the air of the country Is more de
sirable. It Is possible to successfully treat
these patients even in a large city. This,
however, should not be attempted unless
absolutely necessary. Fortunately there
are many places available to those of
even the slenderest means where an abun
dance of fresh air can be supplied. The
success of the open air treatment depends
upon the patient living almost continu
ously night and day, svlthout regard to the
weather, where ho can hreathe the free
air of heaven. The essential thing Is to
supply the largest possible amount of the
best possible air.
Compared With Other States.
It Is Interesting to compare the death
rate In Illinois with the death rate in ad
joining states, as set forth in the table
below;
Deaths Deaths
Death con- per
Popu- Total rate per sump- 100,-
-State. lation. deaths. 1.000. tlon 000.
Michigan.. 2.420.9S2 33,572 13 45 2,433 101
"Wisconsin. 2.0C9.042 24.92S 12.05 2,350 114
Illinois.... 4.S21.550 61.229 12.79 6.788 141
Indiana... 2,516.462 33.5S6 13 35 4,232 163
The states to the north, Michigan and
"Wisconsin, show fewer deaths from con
sumption in proportion to population than,
are shown by Illinois and Indiana, which
are. situated further south.
Next In Importance to the bygienlq
treatment of the patient is the question of
proper food.
Each patient should take as much food
as he can digest, and usually'this Is mora
than the appetite demands. Due atten
tion should be paid to supplying the vari
ous food elements, but the albumenolds
such as eggs, lean meat, eta and fats are
best supplied in larger proportion than in
the dietary of a normal individual.
Exercise Is Necessary.
The third question of importance is that
of exercise. It may be laid down as a
general rule that -where there Is an eleva
tion of temperature tha patient should
not exercise. "When the temperature is
normal exercise should be employed, but
the amount and character should be
adapted to each case. As a general rule
the exercise should be mild and for
short periods and always In the open
air. "While the successful treatment of
tuberculosis must be hygienic, Its appli
cation to each individual patient must
be varied according to circumstances.
An Interesting fact, brought out in the

Due to Poverty and. Immorality.
Dr. Mix attributes the high mortality
rate among the negroes, Chinese, and In
dians solely to their system of living.
Poverty and Immorality, he sajs, are the
greatest friends of consumntlon.
j Dr. Moyer made a plea for state aid in
. the establishment of sanatoria. The edu
cational value of two or three sanatoria
in different parts of the country would,
he said, be lncalulable. Elaborate and
expensive buildings would not be neces
sary, as simple construction on the colony
plan is what is needed. "Above all," Dr.
Moyer said, "the profession In the rural
districts should ri3e to the Importance
of the occasion, and there should be
established by physicians throughout tha
state prjvate sanatoria for the treatment
or consumption. All tnat Is required Is

ment Tents nave been demonstrated to I
be by far the best dwelling nlacps fnr
tuberculosis patients, and it is possible
to nave patients dwell In them the entire
year, een la a climate as severe as
this.
He also advocates the compulsory noti
fication of tuberculosis patients, the quar
antine of tuberculosis, and other meas
ures which teach that the patient Is a
danger to those about him. .
Economic Loss From Phthisis.
Dr. Thomas treated the subject from an
economic standpoint, showing the loss to
Illinois from tuberculosis.
It is estimated that 35 per cent of the
people who die from tuberculosis are from
15 to 34 years of age and that 20 per
cent are from 35 to 45 years of age. Since
such is the case, and the economic loss
so great and so evident It follows that
the state simply cannot .afford to al
low itself to be devastated by the every
day danger from a- disease at once so
general and fatal.
Dr. Thomas estimates, from statistical
tables, the economic loss when a man
dies, as follows:
In case of death at age of 20 cf. ,$19,600
In case of death at age of 30 of 17,510
In case of death at age of 40 of 14,480
In case of death at age of 50 of 10,140
Influence of Occupation.
The influence of occupation upon the
spread of consumption is difficult to cal
culate, because of the paucity of reliable
statistics. The following table, comouted.
from data in the United States census I
reports, shows the percentage of deaths
from consumption in the whole number
of deaths In many occupations:

Prevention the Main Thing.
Those who read papers seemed to ba
agreed upon one thing, and that Is that
the most practical results He in the di
rection of prevention. In order to make
this effective it was urged that there
must be an active co-operation of the
medical profession, the state legislature,
labor unions, women's clubs, churches,
ministers, teachers, and legal and edi
torial associations. In short, wherever
there. Is an organization for any purpose
this work should bfc included. There
should be a large and representative com
mittee, representing the entire state and
made up of representatives from thq sev
eral organizations named, which should
hae general charge of the work. "When
ever there is sufficient public sentiment
to Insist upon the same effective meas
ures being taken to prevent tuberculosis
as Is now taken to stamp out smallpox
the "great white plague" will be a small
factor as a cause of death.
