CRITTENDEN RECORD-PRESS,
FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS.
Modern Woodmen Society
Will Conduct Free Sanatorium
For Its Members,
A BUSINESS AS WELL AS
A FRATERNAL PROPOSITION.
A the last meeting of the Executive
Council of the Modern Woodmen Society,
held nt the headquarters of the
Society in Rock Island, III., it was decided
to conduct that Society's
locnted at Colorado Springs. Colo.,
for the treatment of members afflicted
with tuberculosis free of all charge to
members.
The Modern Woodmen Society several
months since, acquired 1.3S0 acres
of land within seven miles of Colorado
Springs, and has established thereon an
sanatorium, the tent colony
plan being employed. The first colony
was opened for the reception of patients
on January 1st, 1009. It is equipped
to care for sixty patints, to whuh
number admissions will be limited for
the present.
The tents are octagonal structure,
with single roofs, canvas sides, hard
wood floors on solid cement foundations,
heat el by a central plant, equipped
with all rrodern conveniences, such as
telephones, etc., and each tent will
accomodate one patient. An
building for physicians, nurses,
dining hall, baths of all kind3. etc.,
stand in the center of the colony.
Dr. J. E. White, formerly of the
Nordrach ranch sanatorium, the medical
director in charge, states that only
those consumptive members who are
curable , or whose lives may be prolonged
for a considerable length of
time, will be admitted as patients. The
wisdom of this rule is apparent. Rigid
medical examination as a condition precedent
to admisssion will be insisted
upon in pvery case, and special blank
forms have been prepared for this purpose.
A movement is already under way to
equip the second colony plant of sixty
tents. Each tent or tent house, completely
equipped, represents an expense
of $250, and a number of locnl camps,
or lodges, of the Society have decided
to donate tents. As there areover 13,-000
local Camps of Modern Woodmen,
and over 1,000,100 members, it is anticipated
that several colonies will son
be equipped in this way.
The members and locals Camps of
the Society have voluntarily contributed
to the Sanatorium fund' over $7't,000,
and at the last national convention a
permanent tax of ten cents per member
per year was voted to the support
of this work.
The last official Wooden reports show
that during the years inclusive,
1 1.5 per cent of the total mortality
or 5,156 deaths, charged to tuberculosis,
and that 13.9 per cent of the
total insurance losses in those years, or
$9,0G".0o0, resulted from this cause.
As the mortality experience of the
Woodmen Society has been unusuallj
favorable, being but 70 per cent of the
expected at all ages under the National
Fraternal congress table, a death
rate of but 6.29 per 1,000-or but 4 98
per 1,000 if the experience of the first
five membership years be included
the heavier insurance looses inflicted
upon other societies experiencing n
higher mortality may be conservatively
approximated.
If the Woodmen Society, with its
exceptionally favorable mortality, finds
'it to be "GOOD BUSINESS" to fight
consumption in Hub way, why should
not other fraternal i.ccieties, life insurance
companies, labor organizations,
the national and international church
bodies, etc., find it profitable, from the
viewpoint of business or benevolence,
or both, to take such action?
Each life saved to the Woodmen Society,
bv means of this sanatorium, will
will, it is stated, represent a saving of
$1,7C0 the average amount of the
Woo linen policies in force at an expense
for treatmant of approximately
one-twentieth of that sum. In the
broader, each life saved meanB the
preservation to the fnmily of its head
and breed-winner, and to the state of a
useful, self-sustaining citizen.
TEIHPTEST SATURDAY
ON OHIO
Started as a Breeze at Smith-land
and Grew Rapidly
For a While-Blew
Over After
A TIME HARMLESS-UNUSUAL
ESCAPF.
A startling report was circulated
oer I'nducah Saturday afternoon to
the effect that a shooting affray had
occurred on a steamboat at Smith-land
earlier In the day and that
Sheriff Bishop and Deputy Champion,
of Livingston county, had
been shot by Borne of the officers of
the boat. A part of the storj was
that one of tho Livingston count)
officials had been killed and tint the
other was seriously hurt nnil thnt
perhnps somo of the men on the boat
had also been shot Tho story most
happily proved a Blaring exaggera
tion of the facts.
It seems that recently Capt. Hnrrv
Davis, the owner of the steamer Lib
erty, which had previously been run
nlng In the trade between this port
nnil tillaibethtnwn, 111 . made an e
curslon trip from Ellzabethtown to
this port It also appears from He
charges made thnt there was uhls
key sold on tho boat at the time of
the excursion. This charge It is said.
whs tiled by a resilient of Smlthland
with the county attorney and n
was Issued for Hi arrest of
Captain David Yesterday the captain
decided to go to Ellzabethtown to
bring down another excursion todav
and on the way up the rivr. pulled
Into Smlthland to distribute nmif
bills nunotinrlnx the erunloii. While
there Sheriff Bishop and Deputy
Champion went to the boat and under
the warrant arrested Mr. Davis
and took him, as Is said, up Into
the city to either make a $200 bond
or pay the fixed fine of $50 While
up In the city, according to the storv
Captain Davis consulted a lawjer and
dined with Deput Champion and
after dinner, on ndvlce of his attorney,
decided he would glvo bond and
fight the case, his trial being set
for Monday To make bond Davis
nsked, he Intimating that he would
put up the cash. To accommodate
him Sheriff Bishop and Deputy Champion
went to the boat with him.
but, as the report goes, had no sooner
leached the bont than she began
to pull out from the shore nnd In
spite of the protest of the officers,
who threatened the law, etc , the Liberty
moved out Into the stream. The
report sajs that thereupon Sheriff
Bishop drew his weapon nnd after
handcuffing Captain Davis mnde efforts
to stop the bout or have ii
stopped. He Is said to have sent
Deputy Champion to the pilot hotiat
to stop the boat and have her returned
to the shore and that. blng
resisted, he struck pilot and forcibly
took the wheel It Is also wild
Sheriff Bishop entered the engineer's
room and ordered him to atop the
machine) y. but he refused ami that
also fired a pistol, but w hot her at
the sheriff or not Is unknown 1 bin.
It la said, was the only shot fired.
It is also said that Deputy Champion
attempted to turn the boat to Hi'
shore and In doing so broke the till
er rope or It wns cut by some one,
as the boat was soon at the mercy
of the wheels alone, but these the
engineer controlled nnil steered the
boat on to this vicinity nnd to the
Illinois shore opposite here, vh're
a landing was effected.
On reaching a landing Captain
Davis, It Is known, sent a not' tr
this place asking thnt Hie United
States marshal be sent over to the
bont, explaining why, adding that h"
would surrender to him nnd bring
bis boat to this port. This note wn
fent over by Charles Elmore, the
linnnonlcon player so widely known
he being on board en route to I'll'i

Incident
Soon after Charles Ferguson

tho Liberty down tho river In a
skiff, hoping to lend some assistance
to tho kidnapped officers, us they

wiylng that though they had attempted

a message from Sheriff Bishop, with
