hyslctan Declares That Sani

to Surrounding Communities.
.Appeal Made to Reason.
Dr. Ralph C. Matson has come to the
efense of the proposed tuberculosis
anitarium for Mount Tabor, and in a
ommunication he sent yesterday to The
rpe-onian he points out the value ol
uch an institution, at the same time
xplaining that he has no financial ln-
erest therein.
Following is Dr. Matson s letter:
Inasmuch a- It Iff alleged that I am
ithering ihe establishment of a tuberculosis
anitariuin at Mount laoor. inuiu( m w-
ieaimre ar.d fear or me remuems. i n ui

The object of a sanitarium is to teach the
patient personal hygiene and the methods of
preventing others from getting nis

his disease is not a danger to those with
wrmm he mav live and work. The educated
consumptive has his own dujhes, he never

ne never kisses anyone or permits himself to
v i, i - h Hn. not use the nubile tele
phone without covering the mouthpiece, and
neither sneezes nor cougns unto

or puts anything iu hi mouth which other
people might toucn.
Statistics Prove Value.
That the presence of a tuberculosis sanl-
tirinm Ik not a. menace to public neaitn is
shown by statistics in this country and Eu
rope which prove that tne moniiiij i.oiu
v.i i amonr the inhabitants of vil
lages or towns where sanitaria for the tuber
culous are situated has always been consider
ably reduced after the establishment of those
institutions. The cleanly ana smium r
mvninniurilv (rr'taterf bv the villagers have
resulted In diminishing consumption in their
own midst. A well-conducted sanitarium for
consumptives serves not only as an inmnu
tion to cure, but also as an Institution to pre
vent the spread of the disease.
To prevent the spread of consumption by
tanhlnff nractlc-jil and feasible hygiene, to
overcome the prejudice aainst those who are
afflicted with the disease, to cure when cure
is possible, is to do what we can to arrest tno
riisaj. to orolone life and render comfort
able when absolute cure seems Impossible, to

should be our only aim as true workers In
the anti-tuberculosis crusade.
it aWwrA that theaae .patients would
spit everywhere, and thus menace health, and
that it was Intended to use me new c-iiy iai&
for a recreation ground. It is really deplorable
, mnd. rh .iirreft of cruelty and selfish
ness to which this insane and exaggerated
fear of the presence of consumptives nas
driven people. This cruel Injustice must db
called to a halt.
Consumptives must give up llgni wora
such as they are sadly in need of. Km
ployers will not engage them: they are not
going to run the risk of catching the dis
ease not they. Here a clerk suspected or
tuberculosis is discharged: tnen a woman
loses her place because It Is whispered there
Is consumption In her family. Even our
powerful Government at Washington sees
to It that its phthisical employes shall be
dismissed without a pension. The Depart
ment of Agriculture spends 7,000.000 on
plant health and animal health every year.
Hundreds of thousands are consumed in
saving the lives of elm trees from the at
tacks of beetles: in warning rarmers against
blights affecting potato plants; In importing
Sicilian bugs to fertilize fig blossoms in Cal
ifornia: in ostracizing various species of
weeds from the ranks of useful plants, and
in exterminating parasitic growths that prey
on fruit trees. In fact, the Department of
Agriculture has expended the last to years
over $46,000,000. But not a wheel of the
official machinery at Washington was ever
set in motion for the alleviation or cure
of tuberculosis of the lungs. Kvery day
3000. and each minute of the day two per
sons fall from this enemy. Eminent men
who have been engaged in pathological work
for the last 20 years give It as a conclu
sion that 90 per cent of the population of
the entire world, over the age of la, is
tainted with tuberculosis either In the latent
or active form; that it is the cause of one
third of all deaths between the ages of 15
and 45: the most nseful and productive
period of human life. It is estimated from
late statistical experience that of the UO,
tiOO.000 of population of the United States,
30.000,000 of people are doomed to die of
consumption who might be saved from an
untimely grave. It is simply appalling when
we behold the sacrifice of 2O0.000 victims
K. tribute we pay to this arch enemy, not
counting the untold treasure which amounts
to thousands -of dollars. And the entire
vent is accepted by the American people
with a resignation equal to that or the
Hindu, who in the midst of indescribable
tilth calmly awaits the day of the cholera.
Public Must Learn.
The general public must now be im
pressed with the fact that phthisis, which
exists to a deplorable degree and Is the
cause of so much undlgnlried conduct and
such Inhumanity toward the consumptive,
has little reason for its existence. We know
the method of infection Is principally from
human sputum, and that, unlike the con
tagious diseases, contact must be freauent.
repeated and long continued if consumption
is to be communicated, and that the honest,
conscientious consumptive taking care of
his expectoration is not a source of infec
tion or a menace to public health, but as
safe an individual to associate with as any
one else. Me snouia be treated with the
utmost kindness and consideration.
Those who. as official authorities or pri
vate citizens, oppose the establishment of
a sanitarium must be convinced of their
error. Any patient who has been in a sani
tarium, even a few months, must of neces
sity, on account of the training he has re
ceived, become a hygenic factor in th com
munity to which he may return.
Disregarding for a moment the inherent
inhumanity of phtbisopobla. one must know
tnat it would De mucn better to have tu
berculosis individuals under supervisfoin,
than scattered over the entire rnmmnnliv in
hotels, boarding and lodging-houses, private
nouses, loncmoina arid novels, propagating
the disease and knowing not how or tak I no-
no care whatever to act against the spread
of the Infection.
Cruel and unwise are anv aw wht...

who have not at least one more or less

tive? Tuberculosis is the most common of
all diseases, and is most prevalent in the
pulmonary form. It is a disease of the old
and young, of the poor and rich; It is surely

and an economic standpoint, for us to con

WINDSOR MEN ROUTED
GAS BURNER COMPANY SECRE
TARY MAKES STATEMENT.
Directors-Elect of Company Walt
Xow Only for Sheriff to Give
Them Possession of Building.
Having routed the J. N. Windsor fac
tion of stockholders in Campbell's
Automatic Safety Gas Burner from con
trol of the property at Twenty-second
and Thurman street, the newly elected
directors and officers of the company
announce that the factory is to remain
in Portland. They will organize as
soon as the Sheriff places them in
peaceable possession.
After all the old officers of the com
pany, except Windsor, had resigned for
the purpose of effecting a new organ
ization, it is alleged that Windsor ap
pointed a new corps of officers and
assumed the direction of the plant and
business. "Windsor was forced to yield
possession after deputies from the
office of the Sheriff kicked down the
doors of the factory and served replevin
papers.
Secretary N. Campbell yesterday
Issued the following statement concern
ing the difficulties of the company:
Portland. Or., July 8. To the friends
and stockholders' of the Campbell's Automatic

- Windsor's References Mentioned.
These directors-elect were selected from
different sections of the country where the
greater portion of the stock had been sold
and is now held.
As to reference for J. N. Windsor, I would
respectfmlly refer anyone Interested to the
court records of Spokane and Spokane County,
Washington, to which my attention has recent
ly been directed.
In order that the new board-elect might
enter upon their duties unhampered at once,
and believing that the Interests of the stock
holders would be best served thereby, all
the members of. the old board agreed to
tender their resignations to the stockholders
meeting, held on J une 27, such resignations
to take effect only upon the election and
qualification of a new board, to be elected
at said stockholders meeting, and all of the
members of the old board did tender such a
resignation, with the exception of J. N. -Windsor,
who. having some grievance against one
of the members of the board-elect, and real
izing that under the new management he
would no longer be permitted to sit on a chair
in the office of the company and do prac
tically nothing ana draAV a salary of $100 per
month, as has been the case until recently,
refused to resign.
Thereupon, and before any action was taken
on said conditional resignations, he assumed
the right to accept said conditional resigna
tions before they had been presented or even
offered to the presiding officer to be pre
sented, to the stock-holders for consideration,
and assumed the right" to appoint a new
board of directors and elect himself president
of the company, all of which actions on the
part of said J. N. Windsor did not repre
sent more than one per cent of the stock
of the company.
Safe Combinations Changed.
Upon adjournment of the stockholders'
meeting, it was found that someone, without
authority, had caused the combinations of
the safes of the company to be changed, so
that, as secretary of the company, I was com
pelled to lock such books and records as
were then in my possession in my de.sk, leav
ing tne watchman in charge of the same.
Upon returning to the office the next morn
ing, both Mr. Sonneman, at that time assist
ant secretary of the company, and myself,
were denied admission to the office or the
factory and plant of the company and the
doors leading thereto were locked and barred,
and no officers or stockholders of the com
pany were permitted , to enter, with the ex
ception of Windsor and hfs hirelings. Later
in the day, in company with V. IS. Campbell,
j then president of the company, we again
attempted to gain admittance to the premises,
but were prevented by threats and force from
- entering the factory building. Finding that
access to the factory and possession of the
property, to whicn I was entitled both per
sonally and as secretary of the company, could
not be obtained In a peaceful manner, I at
once, in my- own behalf and acting under the
direction of the board of directors of this
company, instituted a suit at law giving a
bund In replevin in the sum of $100,000, my
bondsmen thereon qualifying in the sum of
$24.",0ttO, whereupon the Sheriff, being denied
admittance to. the factory 4jv the said J. N.
Windsor, was" compelled to and did break in
the door and has since held possession of the
premises.
The false charges preferred by the said J.
N. Windsor have resulted in undue notoriety In
the press and consequent uneasiness of the
stockholders, and at the board-elect have re
fused to qualify until peaceful possession may
be had to the premises and property of the
company, I have been directed by the present
lawful board of directors, with the exception
of the said J. N. Windsor, together with a
majority of the board-elect, to make the
following statement of facts In addltlun to the
foregoing, vis:
(Company Honestly Conducted.
First, that the business of the company from
the date of its organization to the present
time has been honestly and economically ad
. ministered.
I Second, that with a few technical and un
important exceptions, ever 3 proceeding by the

WILLIAM JERREMS SONS
IOS iHIRu SThEET
board of directors and the officers of the com
pany have been regular and at all times
honestly conducted.
Third, that the company owns all of block
lft, at Twenty-second and Thurjnan streets,
Portland, Or., together with all the factory
buildings and the equipment therein, which
constitutes one of the best equipped machine
shops on the Pacl flc coast, and the same is
free of debt of any kind or character, with
the exception of a mortgage of 414,000 on
the factory and site, which draws interest
at 6 per cent per annum and Is due in 1912.
Fourth That the company had in the Mer
chants National Bank when J. N. Windsor
took posBension by force of the company's prop
erty as above stated,' over S.'ioOO in cash; about
$2o,000 in what is considered good notes, given
on subscription for stock of the company at
$10 per share, about $2000 in notes of the
Armstrong Manufacturing Company, given in
payment of work done for Fa id company and
about 2:1,000 shares of unsold stock of this
company In the treasury.
Company Has Good Credit.
Fifth That this company has always made
It a practice to discount all bills when pos
sible and its credit has been good both at home
and abroad.
Sixth That any statement to the effect that
the board-elect will freeze out the small stock
holders, and sell the present plant and move
the same to Texas, whether made by J. N.
Windsor or anyone else Is a malicious and deliberate-
falsehood, and as a matter of fact,
all will be don in the future as In the past
to place this company in Portland on a dividend-paying
basis as soon as possible, and to
complete and maintain such a factory here
as will prove a credit to Portland and a
credit to all honest stockholders of the com
pany. With the changes and improvements
that have been made in the burners from time
to time, they can now be manufactured cheap
Iv, and the board-elect expects to be getting
the burner out pr the market within 0O days
after taking possession, providing the neces
sary help and additional machinery can be
obtained for that purpose.
In conclusion I wish to state that I do not
believe the present difficulty will be of long
duration or that any stockholder of the com
pany need worry over existing conditions.
Very respectfully yours,
N. CAMPBHI-L, Secretary.
