"I have not invented a cure for con sumption," said Dr. De Kraft, "but I have improved the methods of applica tion of the electric currents of high po tentiality and frequency and with oth ers have established that consumptives, even when in the advanced stages of the disease, can be cured by electricity. There are possibilities in the use of the Oudin, D'Arsonval and Tesla cur rents that may stir the w rld. 'Just what these possibilities are, I do not care to say at present" MALARIA RAGES IN INDIA. Death Rate Mounts High Conference to Be Held in Simla. Calcutta, Oct. 25. An important official conference will assemble at Simla this month, charged with the duty of examining the whole question of malaria and drawing up a plan of campaign for the consideration of the government of India and the local gov ernments. This special inquiry has been instituted by the governor general in council as the reBUlt of a proposal put forward by the sanitary commis sioner that a permanent organization should be formed to investigate syste matically the problem connected with me disease, i ne onicial communique on tne subject points out that the num ber of deaths ascribed to fever through out India approximates 4,500,000, rep resenting a mean death rate of nearly 20 per 1,000, and though this total is greatly in excess of the actual figure, owing to the general practice of ascrib ing to "fever" deaths which are In re ality due to other causes, yet it has been estimated, from indications afforded by certain special inquiries and by the dis pensary returns, that the actual death rate from malarial fever is about 5 per l.UUU. This represents about 1,130, uuu deaths, and as the mortality I malarial fever is ordinarily low such death rate indicates a terrible amount of sickness, much of it preventable. CONVICT CAMPS PROBED. Some Good, Some Bad, Found by In veatigating Committee. Houston, Tex., Oct. 25. According to the testimony of convicts before the senatorial committee on investigation at the penitentiary farms and camps in Texas, deplorable conditions prevail in several camps,' while in others the op posite is true. In one of the farms, according to the evidence of those Ques tioned, not only is sanitation poor, but those imprisoned are cruelly treated. At the Lignite mine at Calvert, the committee found moBt astounding con ditions, it is stated. According to the testimony conditions on the farms have been found poor for the greater part, with ill-kept bunkhouses and no segre gation of those ill. Food has been complained of. But many of the farms have their redeeming features. Where one poor condition obtains it is offset by an improvement, so that in the main, the week's investigation found much to commend.

The annual report shows that, inasmuch as it discloses the fact that the Union Pacific has sold its stock holdings in several other railroads for which Harriman was credited with reaching out, it can be stated with cer- tainty that Mr. Lovett was the man se lected by Harriman to succeed himself, and that he is highly acceptable to the officials of an lines, xne oinciais. in fact, many of the rank and file who knew Mr. Lovett as a humble attorney in lens, regara mm witn the Keenest attection and respect, The other men mentioned for the Har riman places, among whom wore Edwin S.
