Nathan Straus Presents Figures
to Show Disease Is
Increasing.
Washington, May 13. That the
vigorous campaign ngainst tubercu
losis has failed to check the great
white plague, was the startling
charge made today by Nathan
Straus, the New York philanthrop
ist, at the fifth annual meeting ot
the. Nntlonal Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo
sis. Mr. Straus backed his assertion
with official statistics of the New
York health department, showing an
Increase of 33 per cent over two
years in cases reported in that city.
The reason for this failure to make
headway, Straus declared, was neg
lect of tho mischief wrought by the
tuberculosis dairy cow.
Since the last anneal meeting a
large amount of work has been ac
complished by the organization. One
of the events of the year which was
planned and carried out by the asso
ciation was the successful meeting of
the International anti-tuberculosis
congress In this city.
Another feature of the year's
work of the association has been IU
traveling exhibits. Three of these ex
hibits are now conducted by the as
sociation, and during the past year
they were displayed In a large num
ber of cities. As a direct result of
these effortB, the state legislatures
of Kansas, Tennessee and Nebraska
have passed laws and made appro
priations to carry on the campaign
against consumption. ,
BUT ONE REFERENDUM
PETITION STARTED
Salem, Or., May 12. That there
will be no enactments of the last leg
islature referred to the people under
the referendum amndment for their
determination in November, 1910,
seems certain from present Indlcn
tlon.i. Only ten days are left in
which referendum petitions can be
filed with the secretary of state on
the acts of the late legislature. So
fur there seems to have been started
but one referendum petition, which
speaks well for the general satisfac
tion with which the laws passed by
the 1909 session have been received.
This one petition is In regard to the
$210,000 Improvement appropriation
for the Oregon Agricultural college.
All the acta of the last legislature
will go into erfect May 23, which Is
Sunday. Those passed and approved
early in the session have already be
come laws. Any referendum peti
tion to be effective must be filed
with the secretary of stute before
cllfflng time on Saturday, May 22.

The meeting opens with the Met
