SENATOR TILLMAN IN POOR HEALTH
His Friends Admit that Land Grab Charges
May Have Serious Effect on South Carolinian
EFFORT MADE TO
Senator Hale Suggested to the President that the Matter
Relating to Mr. Tillman Should be Withdrawn on Ac
count of the Senator's Condition President Declined
to Withdraw the Reference Made.
Washington, Jan. 10. No subject has
keen gossiped about recently at tha
capitol with such fervor as President
Roosevelt's disclosure of Senator Till
man's connection with an Oregon land
deal, but the colleagues of the South
Carolinian are Inclined to withhold
judgment until he has had an oppor
tunity to explain. It is likely that
when the doors of the senate open to
morrow there will be a crowd awaiting
admittance sufficient to fill the galleries
many time. The fact that the senator
will read his explanation wili probably
rob it of some of the sharp and homely
epigrams usual to him and it will be
somewhat of a disappointment to his
audience.
Roesevelt Oeolined to Withdraw Refer
ence to Tillman.
Many expressions of dinatisfaetien
are heard because of the manner in
which the president made public tho
material gathered by postoffice inspec
tors about Senator Tillman. It was
rumored at the capitol today that the
president told a friend, who repeated
the remark, that an effort was made
hy Senators Hale and Aldrlch to sup
press the facs about Senator Tillman.

SUPPRESS FACTS.
Undoubtedly this impression was sain
ed at the White House by a visit' to
the president by Mr. Hale, who sug
gested that the matter relating to Mr.
Tillman should bo withdrawn. It is
said that the Maine senator did not
base the request upon the grhund tht
it was not properly a reply to the de
mand for information about the secret
nervier, but because of the fact that
Senator Tillman is in poor health and
the charge was liable to rouse him ! a
pitch of excitement dangerous to his
iilV.
Fresident Roosevelt declined to with
draw the reference to Mr. Tillman, and
when Senator Hale would not make it
public he decided to so himself.
The Senator Very Nervous.
There is no quest Ton that the con
dition of Senator Tillman's health is
serious. When he went to Europe last
March he was In a highly nervous
state. The trip resulted in a marked
Improvement, hut for some time his
friends have noticed that his nervous
ness was returning. Close friends m
the democratic side of the senate
chamber admit their anxiety over the
effect the president's charges may have
upon the South Carolina senator.

Dr. Daniol F. Ricardo. By'experi.
ments carried on independently Dr.
Kicardo says be arrived at the s'am"
conclusion as Dr. R. C. Rosenbcrer f
Philadelphia that tuberculosis fir-t
manifests itself in the blood of the
patient.
"I have found pig's blood to be of
the highest value In tuberculosis
caJfes," declared the physician. "Tho
reasen for that is tnat pig's blood con
tains more hemoglobin than cow's
blood. Swine are fed better than cat

cows from being- milked. Cattle also
are subject, to tuberculosis, while I

Le Mans, France, Jan. 70. Reports
circulated in America connecting the
name of Wilbur Wright, the American
aeroplanlst, with the suit said to have
been begun by a French army officer,
now appear to have grown out of the
fact that several persons mistook one
of Mr. Wright's mechanics for the avi
ator himself. This young- mechanic has
been credited with showing much at
tention to the wife of a sergeant in
the local troops. This started gossip,
which eventually took the form of con
necting Mr. Wright with the affair in
place of his mechanic. There is no evi
dence that the local sergeant has be
gun any official proceedings.

INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS.
Murderer Used Church Lamp Oil
Hasten Victim's' Cremation.
to
Detroit, Jan. 10. Today's develop
ments failed to throw any considera
ble light on the Rattle Run church
murder mystery iri St. Clair county.
Motive for the killing of Gideon
Rrowning whose dismembered body
was partly burned "in the church stove
is still lacking.
Reported Seen in Several Places.
Rev. J. H. Carmichael, missing
pastor of the church, was reported
during last night and today to have
been seen in Indiana, in Chicago, and
in Wisconsin, but verified periods of
the preacher's whereabouts are lack
ing at the close of the fifth day fol
lowing the murder.
Pastor Carried $3,000 Insurance.
The report that Rev. Mr. Carmichael
was carrying- $S,0OO insurance has
proved incorrect. He had only $3,000
insurance and it is said that part of
this was void in the event of sui
cide. Missing Pastor Ordered All Church
Lamps Filled With Oil.
An interesting development was the
report that shortly before last Tues
day's murder. Rev. Mr. Carmichael or
dered all the lamps of the church
niled with oil. Jt had been, custom
ary to use one small lamp and the
regular ones had not been tilled for a
long time. In directing that the
lamps be filled, however, the preacher
made it plain that none of them
should be overlooked. Notwithstand
ing the preacher's directions were car
ried out. it has developed since the
murder that the oil was low in many
of the lamps. As the lights had not
been used for a meeting since the last
filling, the theory has been advanced
that oil from the lamps were emptied
into the stove to hasten the crema
tion of the body of Gideon Browning.
A good deal of surprise had been
manifested over the almost complete
cremation of the victim's body, only a
few bones and fragments of flesh be
ing left. Footprints left by the pas
tor in the church yard indicate that
his lasi movements there were made
just as tne soft ground was beginning
to freezeand this could have been be

Interesting Experiences Related.
Cleveland. O.. Jan. 10. The move
ment, begun last Sunday by 1,800
young people of this city, to live for
two weeks as Jesus would, has as
sumed a scope far beyond the ex
pectations of its promoters.
City Officers Interested.
Ftelly" 10.000 volunteers have unof
ficially joined the movement by at
tempting the test and pledging them
selves to walk in His steps. Even
city officers are taking an interest and
are ruminating on what Jesus would
do if He were a city officer.
Some Praise, Others Condemn.
Many interesting experiences have
been related by those who have com
pleted the first week's testimony. Some
say they cannot carry the practice
into business. Others say they can.
The test also has brought out a host
of critics, some praising, others con-
emning the idea. Church members
atre encouraging the trial and plead
ing for its continuance,
Scoffers Sarcastic.
The scoffers sarcastically sav that
the effort implies past hypocrisy. Dis
cussions are rife in homes, in church
es, in clubs, and in newspapers as
to what Jesus would do under all man
ner of circumstances and what His
attitude would be toward the com
mon forms of amusement and human
endeavor. Most of the arguments
center about the theater card play
ing, dancing and baseball, with sup
porters on either side.
One More Week of Test.
The coming week will he the con-

shall be shot. General Maz.a's com
mand extends to both sides of the
straits. In an interWew he said that
some semblance of order was at last

now systematized and tho situation,
he believed, is well in hand.
Question of Rebuilding Messina.
"The question of the ultimate re
building of .Messina." he said, "be
longs to the political authorities; It
dos not concern me. My principal
energies will be i-o lcentrated with
those of the authorities at Regyio in
getting out the remainder of the
wounded, burying the de-ad and dis
infecting the ruins in order to pre
vent the spread of nickness."
Robbery on Every Hand.
General Mazza explained that the
prevention of looting entailed tin- most
rigorous measure. lie declared that,
under the guiso of rescuers, many
thieves were going about and com
mitting robbery on every hand. He
was not able to check this during
the first wild confusion, but had suc
ceeded better In the last few days.
Messina Not to Be Completely Isolated
General Mazza said further during
the interview, which he gave just pri
or to leaving for Reggio. that the ef
forts of the authorities to clear Mes
sina of refugees and peasants, who
were swarming In from the interior,
did not mean that the city was to be
completely evacuated or isolated un
less sickness actually compelled this.
Permits for Excavating.
For a time no permits were issued
for the right to excavate for prop
erty, hut today this suspension was
removed and three hundred permits
were issued, but under the strictest
safeguards. Owners are required to
describe the property they expect to
find and all valuables not tius de
scribed are held by the authorities
until ownership Is proved.

ing been used abundantly.

ever. that have occurred here, it Is
impossible to say which resulted from
injury or were due to various dis
