New York-, Oct. 2. Norman B. Mack, chairman of the Democratic national committee has exploded a sensation In retaliation for tbe at tacks on the offlclalB of the commit tee he represents. This morning he Issued a statement in which he goes after the national treasurer of the Republican national committee with a hot brand and stamps that gentle man as a friend of corporations and one who is as close to the trusts as IS Fqraker or any of the men cast out by word of mouth of President Roosevelt since the famous Hearst expose. Mack says that Sheldon Is affiliated with many corporations, that many of these corporations are great combines in which millions in money has been used for speculation. Sheldon says Mack has been a banker since 1879, and the Democratic committee stands ready to show that he has been on more than friendly relations with those concerns. Mack adds: "Sheldon is president 'of tha City Trust company, president 'of me Electrical sureties company, dlrec tor of the American Locomotive com- pany, and the. Republics Iron & Steel company. Ail or tne concerns mentioned are more or less Identified with the "inter- ems- ana large diocks or stock or many of them are helleved to be controlled by Standard Oil and other trusts which the Republicans profess to detest. , Further discloseures are expected. on Lumber Manufactur ers jClosed Second Day's Hearing in Lumber Cases Decision Tomorrow. 1 MBIH RECEIVED TOM'S LETTER MrW.

(United Prem Leased Wire.) Washington, D. C. Oct. 2. "Today those nations that have the highest rate of wages and the shortest hours of work have tlie lowest death rate." This state ment made by Dr. Woods Hutchinson of New York in an address on the relation Detween income and tuberculosis, was received with applause by the delegates to tho international congress. "Consumption is the price of civiliza tion," said Dr. Hutchinson, "and. as usual. Is paid by the lower two-thirds for the benefit of the upper third. There is a sound biologic basis for our mod ern determination to acquire wealth. since those who obtain it deduce their chances of dying from tuberculosis 60 per -pent" Dr. Hutchinson refers to the lowering of the dajth rate from tuber culosis during the past 60 years and declares "there can , be little question that this lowering of tha death rate was lararely due to the immense lm- firovement in wages, food supply, hous ng and sanitation of the great masses of the communitythe working classes.".... San Franoisco, Oct. 2. Joseph N. Teal, attorney for the Western Ore gon Lumber Manufacturers' associa tion .today closed the second day's argument before the United States circuit court in the Oregon Lumber rate case, which was reopened yes terday by the filing of an amended complaint by the attorneys for the Southern Pacific company. Teal's argument was for the sustaining of a demurrer filed by the commission on tha ground that the complaint contained nothing essentially differ ent from the former complaint which was thrown out of court Wednesday. The Justices of the court announced that they Would render a decision to morrow -morning. If the second com plaint of the railroad is thrown out. It Is probable that the railroad will cease its efforts to prevent the enforcement of the new rate which is scheduled to go into effect October 15. If the de murrer Is overruled, the court mav ex nmine Into the railroad's contention that tne low rate fixed by the commission Is confiscatory and a long drawn-out hearing will result. .Will Kot Reopen. Attorney Luther Walters for the in terstate commerce commission declared that he is confident that the court will uphold the contention of the commis sion ana not reopen tne case. Teal's argument today was a caustic arraignment of what he termed the 11 legal methods of the Southern Pacifio company. He attacked the allegations in tne railroads bin tnat the company was being deprived of property without aue process or law, stating tnat the al legations of the amended bill filed by me rinruBU were nut oasea on races. Foists Involved. There was no attempt made by the rauroaa to get me commission to change the rate, said Teal, on the general alle gations produced In court. Only two points were Involved, declared Teal, and these were that the carriers rount go before the commission with their complaints -on rates, and. not before the courts unless they can "find fraud In the fixing of the rate or that the rate is exorbitant.
