GREAT FIGHT AGAINST TUBERGULOSIS NOW ON Interesting Session of National Asso- ciation at Washington. Health Department Urged. Washington, May 3.—Resolutions favoring the establishment of a pub- lic health department similar to pres- ent government departments; oppos- ing action of Oklahoma state board of medical examiners extending from practice in that state all physicians who have suffered at any time from tuberculosis and also the Nebraska law, which requires indigeht tuber- lar patients to take the serum course of treatment were adopted at lastnight’s session of the National association for the study and pre- vention of tuberculosis, which today began a two day’s session in this city. Insurance Feature. Legislative provision for a special tax on payrolls to provide for in- surance against tuberculosis was one of the suggestions made by Dr. Lee K. Frankel at the meetind of the Advisory Council of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, which is holding its sixth anaual meeting in this city. Dr. Frankel spoke on the subject, Insurance Against Tuberculosis.” He pointed out that it " is feasible to insure against sickness, but unless some method by which every work- ingman would be obliged to insure were devised, the very classes among whom tuberculosis is most prevalent would not be reached by this in- surance because rates would be too high. He advocated the formation of local municipal or county depart- ments who should collect taxes based on the payrolls of employers of labor and should use this fund for the care of tuberculosis workingmen. ¢“Instead ot compelling the pay- ment of premiums on the part of employes,” said Dr. Frankel, “It might be perfectly feasible and constitutional to have a special tax based on the payrolls of em. ployers of labor, this tax to be fixed and graded according to the GEO.

SETTLERS THREATEN T0 DESTROY DAM Fatal Floods Reported on’ the Rainy River, Fort Francis, - Ont, May 8.—The rapidly rising waters of Rainy river are endangering a large territory near this stream. The waters are pouring into the Lake of the Woods. Home- steaders all about the shores of that body of water are suffering heavy damage, Five persons are reported dead. Three pilots of a wood boat met death in the branches of a submerged tree. A quarter section of the finest land in the Northwest, located at the mouth of Rainy river on the.south shore of the Lake of the Woods and which is normally dry all the year round is now the scene of a raging millrace of swift tempestous waters. The cabin has disappeared and'the whereabouts of the owner, a fisherman and farmer, is not known here. The water over the spot is four feet deep. Perilous stages of water are report- ed from Warroad at the head of the Lake of the Woods. Settlers are threatening to blow out the dam at Kenora, built a few years ago. The dam holds back a large head of water, |1t is said, and to it is charged the flood condition of the river. Government guards are at the dam FORTY MILLIONS ARE EXPECTED Estimate of Receipts From Corporation Tax. FEW TRYING T0 EVADE Force of Forty Trained Accountants Engaged in Verifying the Reports of the Corporations—Estimated That the Earnings of Concerns Affected by the Law Will Aggregate Four Billion Dollars. ‘Washington, May 8.—The corpora- tion tax is yielding 60 per cent more than was estimated by treasury offi- cials. Secretary MacVeagh stated that he mnow looks for '$40,000,000 from this levy. This represents a to- tal net earning of the corporations of the United States- qf $4,000,000,000. The number of corporations assessed is 400,000. The law exempts from taxation $5,- 000 of earnings, so that the returns to the treasury indicate an everage earn- ing last year by each of the 400,000 corporations of $15,000. This takes in all the life insurance companies, the banks, steamship companies, rail- ways and all big industrial corpora- tions, as well as the numerous small commercial concerns doing business under a corporate form. A force of forty trained accountants is busily at work verifying the re- turns of the corporations. These men were selected from the offices of the several auditors of the treasury, and are thoroughly competent to deter- mine whether the returns are honest or fraudulent. Four Billions in Earnings. At the present rate of approving the returns Secretary MacVeagh estimates that the earnings will reach the enor- mous total of $4,000,000,000. When the tax was first proposed Secretary Mac- Veagh informed congress that a 1 per cent levy would yield $25,000,000. The tax is payable on or before June 30. Some of the corporations have already paid. The government has received $160,000 in cash from cor- porations that want to close out their accounts. Assistant Secretary Hillis has charge of the active work of collecting this tax. He says that with compara- tively few exceptions the corporations are making no attempt to evade the law. There have been some instances of manifest errors and other cases of bold attempts to avoid payment. For example, a number of corporations have deducted dividends that were paid from their earnings under the law. These concerns have been noti- fled that the earnings subject to the 1 per cent tax should include divi- dends. WESTON ' COMPLETES WALK Covers Country From Ocean to Ocean in Seventy-seven Days.

DEADLY BALLOON IS RUN BY WIRELESS English Engineers Can Drop Ex- plosives at Will London, May 8.—T. R. Phillips, a Liverpool engineer, claims to have in- vented the means of controlling and directing aerostats by electricity transmitted etherically. He gave a demonstration at the London Hippodrome with a twenty- foot Zeppelin airship and showed his ability to raise, lower, drive, stop and turn it at will by the manipulation. of the keyboard of a transmitter. Mr. Phillips. claims the principle is ap- plicable to man carrying airships and aeroplanes, but: primarily is intended for aerial torpedoes. “I can sit in an armchair in Lon- don,” he says, “and make an airship drop a‘bunch of flowers in a friend’s garden in Manchester, Paris or Berlin, and with equa! ease I can make it drop explosives wherever I like. I be- leve it will abolish the existing meth- ods of warfare. I have offered the in- vention to the British government, which will inspect it soon.
