Springs Sensation. v -
' (Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
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. ,

(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

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.
