REGOMENDS GOLONIZING ALL GONSUMPTIVES Dr. Forster Makes Recommendation at Washington Meeting to This Etfect. STORE NEWS T.J. Grane & Co. Have New Store Hours Opens at 8 a. m. Closing at 6 p. m. Washington, May 4. — Recom- mendations that tuberculosis patients should be colonized on large farms in the southwest, that there should be at least one outdoor school in every city and that greater efforts should be made to see that city ordinances against spitting in public places be observed, were made at the closing session here today of the national association for the study and prevention of tuberculosis. Roughly speaking 25,000,000 people have been forbidden to ex- pectorate in public places, and in 1909, only 3,421 arrests for violation of these anti-spitting ordinances were made. This fact indicates to Robert J. Newton, secretary of the municipal commission on tubercu- losis of St. Louis, that the l4ws and ordinances forbidding spitting are not enforced except in a few cities, and there only occasionally. Out of 74 cities reported_ only 36 or less than one-half made any ar- rests at all under the ordinance, and of the 3,421 arrests made altogether, 12 cities contributed all but 120 arrests. Value like all other things is guaged by com- parison. Many firms throughout the United States, realizing this, have taken advantage of the Public by mis- quoting comparative valuations between their merchandise and that of other firms. By at- tempting to fool the public, any concern is merely fooling itself. Percentage Convicted. Out of the 3,421 persons arrested, 2,912 were convicted, one in every seven escaping. The total fines paid were $4,100.87, an average of $1.35 each. Newton’s Address. Mr. Newton’s paper on “The En- forcement of Anti-Spitting Laws,” read today before the Sociological section of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis was based on a careful study of the laws and ordinance together with the methods of enforce- ment in 74 cities and seven states. The first anti-spitting ordinance We shall not resort to the quotation of com- parative prices of other concerns, for the reason that it has been misused by so many business establishments through- out the land. 1896, West Newton being the second city and Sacramento, Cal., the third. In 43 cities the police are sup- posed to enforce the law; in 16 cities the health officers have this duty and in all cities both police and health officers are responsible. The cities where the law is enforced by health officers show the largest number of arrests. Health Officers Entorce. The health officers enforce the law more effectively, he said, because in doing so, they feel that they are working for the prevention of the spread of disease. The real funda- mental reason for the non-enforce- ment of spitting ordinances, Mr. Newton declared, is a lack of civic pride and a failure to appreciate the dangers of unrestrained spitting. Among the suggestions given for enforcing theanti-spitting ordinances were: Publicity, posting ordinances, frequent “raids” on spitters, and the appointments of special officers for this purpose. «If you have to spit, don’t spit in Buffalo.” says Mr. Newton, “for it may cost you $25. The cheapest place to spit is in In- dianapolis, where people pay an average of 78 cents. New York comes next, with an average of g1 cents, in Baltimore, Pittsburg, Kansas City and Spokane, $1 each,” Mr. Newton considers the small fine of $1 to g5 more effective than the larger amounts imposed. Mr. Newton thinks that the law enforcement in most cities is ow- ing to the fact that the police will not enforce the ordinance because We shall not insult the intelligence of the public nor underate their knowledge of true value by se doing. The only comparison which we shall make will be between the selling price and the standard value of the article, and this standard will be the basis upon which our merchandise will be marked.

He stated that in his opinion farming was the most suit- able work that a cured consumptive could attempt. Dr. Forster therefore advocated that large colonies of consumptives Rathered from sanatoria in all parts of the United States should be formed in the southwest on land which could be irrigated with com- varatively little expense and that here they should live and work for the rest of their lives.

Pryor, 421 Bemidji Ave. U.S. ATTORNEY BAFFLED New York, May 4.—After being told plainly by Judge Hough that he had failed in a two days’ effort to connect F. Augustus Heinze with the so-called pools in United copper stock in 1907, United States Dis- trict Attorney Wise this afternoon abandoned his attempt to put evi- dence to this effect on the records. Balked at almost every turn either by rulings of the court or failure of his witnesses to recall the facts sought, Mr. Wise showed his chagrin as he gave up the quizzing of Max Schultze, member of Otto Heinze’s firm. Heinze’s attorneys showing their pleasure then brought out by cross- examination of Schultze testimony favorable to the defendant.

M. Forster, of Louisville, before the Sociological section of the Na- tional Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis now in its six annual meeting. His subject was the best kind of employment for tuberculosis cases, who when dis- charged from hospitals and sanitoria relapse into their former condition because of bad environment. Dr. Forster demonstrated that the present machinery in the anti-tuber- culosis campaign was inadequate and that it did not provide for the tuberculosis sufferer at the most critical time in his existence—when he left the sanatorium or hospital. In view of this fact, he advocated that institutions in which tuberculosis cases were treated should be equipped with large farms upon which the convalescent consump- Shotley People Want Ditches. Residents of Shotley and their attorney, A. A. Andrews of Bemidji, petitioned Judge Stanton of the district court yesterday to appoint an engineer and order a survey of two proposed ditches which are wanted in Shotley township. Some of the residents were opposeed to the cost of the two drainage ditches. Judge Stanton raised the point that the court might not have juris- diction over the construction of these ditches, since they ‘are planned to lie wholly within the county. The case was continued and this point was argued in chambers this afternoon. BORIMER PRESIDENT. Chicago, May 4.—United States Senator William Lorimer was elected president of the Lasalle Street Na- tional bank of Chicago at a meeting of the directors of that institution, held yesterday, when the board also adopted the by-laws of the associa- tion and authorized the trusteeship under the trust company, which will be known as the Lasalle Street Trust and Savings bank, will be or- ganized. The new banks which are ex- pected to throw open their doors to the public May9, will have a capitalization of $1,000,000 each and a combined surplus of half a million. Moslems Threaten Christians.

Bemidji Town. Mrs. E. E. Chamberlain is convalescing from an illness that confined her to her bed the greater part of last week. Mr. Frieze has gone into the manufac- turing of canvass gloves and mittens, and has his factory at his home one-half mile south of Foley's brick yard. At present only four machines are being used in the work. The first section of the log drive be- longing to the Douglass Lumber Co. and other firms, arrived at the sorting gap Thursday of last week. Saturday the crew left for points up the river near Lake Itasca to bring down the final drive. Owing to the low stage of water the drive is moved with greater difficulty than usual and will not reach town till the season is well advanced. A surveying crew has been taking levels of the water of Carr lake, School- craft and Mississippi rivers, to determine the excess overflow of water resulting from the back water from the power dam east of Lake Bemidji, The farmers, who have waited patiently to be re-imbursed for the almost total destruction of their hay crop, will be gratified if this survey means a satisfactory settlement of their claims by the interests responsible for the damage done by the high water.

Clash in the Hyde Trial. Kansas City, May 4.—Prosecutor Conkling and Attorney Frank P, ‘Walsh engaged in a heated clash and the jury hearing the Hyde murder trial came into posesssion of a part of the story of the disappearance of the grand jury notes in the case. When the first trouble arose between the at- torneys two weeks ago, the jury was not in the room. FRANCE HAS WAR BALLOON Craft Constructed With the Greatest Secrecy. Paris, May 4.—2The surprising an- nouncement is made that there had been constructed, under the direction of the war department and with strict secrecy, a dirigible balloon of the semi-rigid type, capable of speed of eighty kilometers (approximately fifty miles an hour) and that the machine would be ready for participation in the approaching summer army maneu- Vers. The new military craft has been named the Fregate. It measures 3,200 cubic meters and has two nacelles or ears, within which are contained mo- tors designed to develop 240 horse power. Shock Kills Young Girl. ‘Williston, N. D., May 4.—The shock received when she thrust her tiny hand into a boiler of scalding water caused the death of the three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ole Rosland, residing five miles north of Williston. The child had been left in the kitchen alone when the accident occurred. Al- though only one hand was scalded that was sufficient to cause death, Sy AR PROCRESSIVES WELL PLEASED Elated Over Changes in -Rail- road Measure, FIVE SECTIONS CUT OUT Portions Eliminated Had-Been Vigor- ously Assailed by “Insurgent” Sena- tors, One of the Objectionable Pro- visions Being the Legalizing of Traf- flc Agreements—Action Taken May Prolong Session of Con. 8. ‘Washington, May 4. — Radical changes to be made in the adminis- tration railway bill as a result of con- ferences will, in the opinion of many Republicans, prolong the session of congress. While progressives are elated over the victory attained in forcing the Aldrich organization to eliminate from the measure certain provisions that it was contended ‘would have broken down the Sherman anti-trust law and weakened the force of the present rate act it is their pur- pose to stand by and perfect the pend- ing measure as far as possible. As a result of a canvass of the senate, dis- olosing that the bill could not be passed in its presert form, it was de- clded to throw sections 7, 12, 13, 14 and 16 overboard. Section 7 proposed to legalize traffic agreements; section 12 legalized railroad mergers in cases where one road owned at least 50 per cent of the stock of another; sections 183, 14 and 15 of the bill provide a plan for the regulation of the capitaliza- tion of railroad corporations. The hope of the leaders now is to prevent the adoption of progressive substitutes for the sections eliminated: Little of Measure Remains. ‘With these sections gone all that re- mains of the bill of substantial char- acter is the provision creating an in- terstate commerce court, the section requiring railroads to quote rates cor- rectly to shippers, the section giving the interstate commerce commission power to initiate investigations on its own complaints and the section pro- viding for a sixty-day suspension of rates pending an investigation by the ocemmission into their reasonableness. Sections 7 and 12 were bitterly as- sailed by the progressives. Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota, who has steered clear of both factions in the senate, declared in a speech that sec- tlon 7 was nothing more or less than an effort to exempt railroads from the application of the anti-trust law. Sen- ator Nelson announced that he would not vote for the bill in its present form. The lines were so tightly drawn in the senate that the regular leaders found they could not adopt either section 7 or 12 without the sup- port of the Minnesota senators. Ac- cordingly these sections have been thrown in the discard. As sections 13, 14 and 15, relating to capitaliza- tion, are interrelated with sections 7 and 12, they will also be abandoned. Allies Control Both Houses. Both ends of the Capitol are now in the control of a combination of Demo- crats and progressive Republicans. Realizing this ‘the one time Repub- Hcan leaders are talking bitterly of adjourning congress and throwing on the progressives the blame of wreck- ing the Taft legislative programme. The president, however, has given or- ders that the regulars shall stay and ‘do the best they can. The situation is remarkable. From twenty to forty Republicans are work- ing with the Democrats in the house. They have practically taken the bill out of the hands of Chajrman Mann and are tacking on to it all sorts of amendments. In the senate from ten to twenty Republicans are co-operat- ing with the Democrats. They have geined the whip hand and undoubted- ly intended to destroy the Crawford- Blkins traffic agreement amendment. Senator Aldrich admitted what the wise ones have foreseen for some days. Rather than be routed on the floor Mr. Aldrich decided to surrender and he agreed to withdraw two of the most objectionable provisions of the bil. STREAMS OF BLAZING OIL Effort Made to Dam Burning Fluid at Martinsville, Il Martinsville, Ill, May 4.—A great force of men continued the fight against streams of burning oil from the enormous tank of the Ohio Oil company, which was set on fire by lightning.

Twenty-one thou- pand gallons of oil have been pumped sut of the 37,000-gallon tank. ROOSEVELT’S VISIT T0 DENMARK ENDS Sees Points of Inferest in and : About Copenhagen. Copenhagen, May 4.—This was one of the quietest days that Colonel Roosevelt iz going to insist on during the remainder of his European trip. There were only six events on the programme and the colonel observed rigldly “the eight-hour law,” begin- ning at 8 o’clock and knocking off at 4.

Reidsville, Ga., May 4—The strike of thirty long term convicts in the county camps near here has ended and their threats to dfe before return- ing to work proved untrue.
