Lilley, who exposed the submarine boat scandal in congress last winter and who now is the Repub llcan candidate for governor, tcay pub lished correspondence between him and President Roosevelt regarding the pres ent ajnnaiff-n wttH PnnMiM.lt u . The first letter waa wrlttn h T.iii to the president asking Roosevelt to al low him to quote Roosevelt's approval " wiwouii rwBrrea m ana suggestea that LHIey send him a copy of It Lil ley sent the copy and told the president mai n (icwuiiiuei . containing it was oe ing prepared for circulation among fac tory workers. He said he would appre ciate permission to quote the president's recommendation. In answer the presi dent said: "I have read and heartily approve the ai'cevu. idu win a numoer or needed truths. I wish you success in your ca reer." . The correspondence was nubllnhed h. cause it was charged that LUley had misquoted the president - ' -'After the publication of the presi dent's commendation, Lllleysr opponents criticised the statement, and then the president wrote to iiuey again, saying: "The president :haS- -not ; lnterferred with the election of riartlcular oandtrintA But he holda himself at liberty to atate races as io wnat ne said or aid in con nection with any man's acts as to which he has full cognisance.

Thesjresldent at the request of Lil ley, lately sent a telegram to him author islng tlvfe use of a fao simile of the statement in a circular. , PROVES VALUE OF INSPECTION According to the monthly report Of City Health Officer Esther M. Pohl, students in 2 public schools were ex amined by the medical , Inspectors ap pointed last month. This Inspection, she thinks, was the means of preventing another epidemic of smallpox like that Which resulted in the clostnsr of the Chapman school last term. - Drs. Storey and Gellert and School Nurse Rachel Doremus Shatto personal ly visited more than 11,000 school chil dren and discovered scores of cases of children's diseases, such as scabies, ring worm and itch. One hundred and twenty cases of tuberculosis, two of smallpox and two of diphtheria were alao noted. Only eight exclusion cards were Is sued,, that is, it was-only found neces sary, in eight Instances to-order- stu dents to stay at home until the disease with which . they were afflicted was CUTed. ;.: ;- " In other eases -advisory - cards sre given. .These explain i to the child's parents what' is the matter atjd what treatment It Is, best to adopt By wireless telephony two French na val officers have succeeded in having ordinary conversation, songs and even whtatllna- heard nerfectlv at a diatanen of SO miles. . j-- -'--' . - Bome.Offtoet X COBMTT BCILDIKO. .

Tho Policyholder' Company Is Best for Qregoniains AY ASK I Ml UNCLE SAMUEL Health Board Discusses New Scheme to Insure Purity of City's 3Iilk Supply Federal llejglation May Prove Too Strinjrent. Tne United States government may be asked to take a hand in the solution of the milk problem In Portland. .If the city health board finds that the re quirements of Uncle Sam are' not ' so rigid as to put all the dairies out of business, it will ask the . federal au thorities to assume control over the milkmen who supply the city. , Dr. Yenney of the health board, was asked at the meeting of that, body tlis morftlng to ascertain what are the gav ernment regulations guarding . agaij't-t the sale- of impure and diseased milk and to make a report at the next board meeting. It- is quite likely that 'ae board will make a recommendation that the government take charge of the sit uation. - ( if. this Is done further- consideration of the Cottel milk ordinance In the oouncil will be unnecessary. Dr. Yon ney said be waa sure that the fednral of rlclals will agree to Inspect dairi-ts here, if he city aaks them to. The people or Pendleton wanted federal in spection, but when the government reg ulations were submitted to them thoy refused to adopt them because It was thought that dairymen would find It so idlf ficult to,compJy ,...that tha price cf milk would be Increased so much cm to make the arjtcle a luxury to ws; people. r Krs. Evans' Suggestion. - Whether Portland will come to the same "conclusion or not Is hard to say, but in Such event a suggestion made In the October report of Market Inspector Sarah A. Evans will, it is thought, be adopted Dy tne ooara. .Mrs. Rvans believes that if each milk man is made to buy a city license and submit to inspection by a special officer .employed by the health department be fore being allowed to do business, the result will be that nothing but pure UK win be sold. 'I think." said Mrs. Evans "that if this plan were adopted It would tend to the establishment of largo central distributing depots from which consumers- in all parts of the city -would be supplied. The owners of these distrib uting storehouses- would be under bond and responsible for ..all milk sold by them... - .- ' XliltB In All Xilk. "But whether you try this scheme or some other, something should be done at once. Conditions are awful. In one creamery I visited the other day the proprietor told me that he had to strain every bit of milk brought to his estab lishment and In some of the cans two quarts or mora of stable filth would be found, The manager said he had to take the milk because the dairymen are so Independent that If he refused It they would take It to some other cream ery, Milk is so scarce that the dairy men can do as they please." "We ought to--go on record as fav6r ing the movement to secure pure milk," declared Mayor Lane to the board. "You all know better than anybody else what filthy conditions exist In - the dairies. We, as a body, should officially offer Dr. Cottel our assistance In his fight to 'get the city council to pass lsws whlcn will compel mux vendors to sell nothing that Is not clean and pure." Dr. Glesey thought Mrs. Evans sug gestion was a good one' and should re tried. He said he had prescribed milk for six patients lately, but they had re fused to arms ic Decsuse or tne aire which It contained.. He did not know the names of the mflkraen who had sold this mlHt, but said he was trying to as certain them.
