KOCH THEORY SUPPORTED D r . Park Declares Tuberculosis Mot Due to Infected Milk. WAYS TO FIGHT DISEASE Colonization in Southwest Advo cated-Gare of School Children - —Discussions in Congress. - •w*?hin*rton. May — Only 2^ P*r c " nt of al] tuberculosis in »w York City comes from infected milk. butter or meat from bovine sources, according: To the statement made by Dr. William K. Park, of that city, to-day before the pathological section of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Moreover, Dr. Park said, this small perreniaire is found mainly in children. In other words, pul monary tuberculosis amors adults Is con tracted solely from human beinps, and Is rot the result of impure milk or foods Dr. Park supported the contention of Dr. Rob ert Koch, of Berlin, the discoverer of the tuberculosis, aaraa, . when he stood practi cally slone in declaring that cattle did Bat •.ransrr.it pulmonary tuberculosis to human beinss- The sipnifl'-ance of these conclu sions, it was pointed out. will be to direct sll th» enerpy of the campaign apainst tuberculosis to -orr bating the spread ot this disease amone human beincs by pre vexxting spittlnp. bad housing, overwork sr.fi other .-•-;- to health. Colonization of consumptives in the Southwest was advocated by Dr. A., M. Forster, of Louisville, before the sociologi cal section. His subject was the best kind o* employment for those afflicted with tuberculosis, who when discharged from hospitals and sanatoria relapse into their # orTr)<Br condition because of bad environ ment. Dr. Forster declared that the pres eat machinery in the anti-tuberculosis campaurr. i« inadequate, and did not pro vide for the surlerer at. the most critical tim« I" bis existence— when he left the canatortan or hospital. In %-iew of this 'art he advocated that institutions in whicn rir*rculoFis cases were treated should be eq-jipped with use farms, on which the convalescent^ mipht learn the rudiments of agriculture. He said that in his opinion farming was the most suitable work a cured conFumY'tive could attempt- Dr. Forster therefore advocated that large col onies of consumptives pathered from san atoria in all parts of the United States «-ho-j!d he formed in the Southwest on land ■which could be -at^d with compara tively little expense, and that here they should live and work for the rest of their lives. Every city should hay» •■a or more out d^or school*, declared Dr. Henry Farnum BtoIL of Hartford. Conn., in a paper read t^fore the sociological section. He recom xaezHSed such institutions for all delicate, so ca'led scrofulous or ana>mic children and those with tuberculosis of the bones, who are now in ordinary schools. He also ad vised the universal use of the skin tuber culin test in the kinderparten and lower prades to d*tect case? of unrecopnized tu berculosis. Dr. Stoll declared that T to 40 per. cent of school children in laree cities ere infected with tuberculosis. This Infe V.nv. usually took place in the home, and not ir. the school, but the badly ventilated school room, by lowering the child's vitality, allowed the germs to become BCtrce. In proof of this statement Dr. Stoll r pf Frr< »d to 147 children recently examined by him. in which the question of exposure ■to Tuberculosis in the home was carefully investigated. ' By the use of tuberculin it was ascertained that 79 per cent of the children from tuberculous homes were in fected, a? apainst only 25 per cent of those from supposedly healthy homes. It was aiso found that sfl per cent of the frail chil dren from healthy home? had the germs of the disease; but that only 13 per cent of the robust children from similar homes were thus affected. Dr. Park's paper was followed by wide discussion. Dr. Marshall Fabyan. of Bos- Ton, presented the story of two cases of human tuberculosis in which the bovine type of bacillus was asserted. In the clinical ••:■•- P. Fran cine, of Philadelphia, declared that all irc-dical ccllepes should teach tuberculosis £if a special branch and rive it a perma rert place in the curriculum. Tr.^ question of placinp the responsibility lor relapse of a patient supposedly cured irom tuberculosis was discussed following a paper by Dr. W. L>. Dunn, of Asheville. JC. C, on that subject. Opinion was di vided. An Interesting paper was read by Dr. Henry £. Goodall. of Xew York, who re lated some of the results he had obtained I, the treatment of children for pulmonary tuberfjlnsis. All the experiments detailed •were conducted in a sanatorium and were I".:£rhlv successful. Dr. Robert J.

SOME OF THE MASONIC ORPHANS WHO ARRIVED HERE YESTERDAY FBOM UTICA. ASSURES PURITY OF BAY Government Intervention in Sewage Fight Succeeds. Washington, May 3.— The execution on behalf of the United States and the Pas sale Valley Sewerage Commission of a stipulation as to the methods of construc tion and maintenance of a sewer system in the Pa.=f-a,<- n Valley district marks the successful outcome of the first attempt of the United States to intervene in a suit between two states. It is also the culmi nation of a struggle of three years on the part of the New York Merchants' Asso ciation committee on water pollution to prevent the construction of a system that provided for. the discharge of the sewage of thirty municipalities in New Jersey into New York Bay near the Statue of Liberty. The government's petition to the Supreme Court of the United States for permission to intervene was sent to the court at the October term. 1308, and was granted on July S. 1909. Hugh Gordon Miller, counsel for the committee on water pollution, of which Edward Hatch, jr.. is chairman, was instrumental in bringing about the petition for the privilege of intervention and medi ation, and was made special attorney gen eral to represent the government's inter ests in the subsequent investigations and negotiations with the representatives of the Sate o* New York and the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission. In these negotiations Colonel W. H. Black, a government engineer, rendered valuable sen-ice, and his reports' were mad the basis of the stipulation which was af terward adopted. Trouble between New Jersey and New York was averted, and by an act of the . Legislature of the former state the sewerage commissioners received permission to ratify an agreement or stip ulation which they had already agreed upon after months of investigation and dis cussion. Through the intervention and mediation of the United 'States thousands upon thousands of dollars were saved to the taxpayers and a satisfactory conclusion was reached without compulsion. The net result of the stipulation is that there will be absence of visible suspended particles in New York Bay coming from Passaic Valley sewage, and there will be absence of deposits in the bay objectiona bel to the Secretary of War; there will be absence of odors due to tae putrefaction of organic matters contained in the sewage discharged: there will be a practical ab sence in the surface of the water of any great-e or color due to the discharge of the sewage -■ the dispersion area or else where, and there will be no injury to the public health because of the discharge of wit into New York Bay.

No r]ama:r> *- reporte I "The Chief of All" Bottled only at the TRACING MARRIN SERVICE Western Union Officials Before Washington Grand Jury. Washington. May 3.— The establishment of a direct connection with the Marrin "fast wire service" by one of the leading wire concerns of the country seems to be the ob fect of the inquiry now pending before the erand jury, which to-day continued its in quiry into the methods of obtaining stock auotations by bucket shops. Five officials of the Western Union Telegraph Company gave evidence, and -were followed by Frank Maier and Thomas Marrin. who are said to have owned the Marrin service, and three operators o f the fast wire. The Western Union officials were W. A. Sawyer, district superintendent for Phila delphia; A. G. Saylor, general superin tendent at New York; F. E. Coyle, chief clerk to the general superintendent. E. M Mulford. district superintendent at New York, and H. A. Kitchen, chief clerk in the om>e of Vice-President Atkins. These offi cials would not tell what they had testified to. but it is understood that they aided the investigators to the fullest extent. By the testimony of Maier and Marrin. Special Assistant Attorney General Bie laski expects to establish that their fast wir--- service was furnished to a number of bucket shops ahead of the ticker service. They were asked to explain the origin of the information sent out over their wires. Throueh the operators the government hones to satisfy the grand jury that the information came from a specific source and wa? not the result of wire tapping. The onerators are rxpected to tell the grand jury that a skilled operator t<=ll when a wire is tapped or interfered with and can also tell the source of information re ceived. Amons the operators who testified was Joseph H. Becker, whose work on the Mar nn fa.-t wire was interrupted la_st Saturday in New York. The others were P. J. Morri son and George Dougherty. The reported discovery of a leak of New York Stock Exchange quotations to bucket shops through a member of ,th<= exchange vac denied to-day by W. E. Bishop, the of ficial investigator of the New York ex chanze. who is in Washington to testify before the grand jury Mr. Eis^'D declared that such service would be superfluous and almost useless to bucket shop?-. sinc<=. as he said, they were receiving auotations over the Marrin wire almost instantaneously with the transac tions on th* 3 floor of the exchange. The Marrin wire's efficiency, he said, depended on the Information reaching the broker in advance of the ticker service. A CATCH OF 320,000 SEALS. St. John's. N. F..
