TRANSMISS1SS1PPI CONGRESS.
Meeting Adopts Important Resolu
tions and Names Committees.
Cripple Creek. Colo., July ID. The Trans
xnisslsslppi Commercial Congress to-day
finished Its business and adjourned to meet
in St. Paul, Minn., at a time to be here
after fixed by the Executive Committee.
The attendance to-day was light.
There was an address by William W.
Bates or Denver on the subject of "The
National Need of Shipping of Our Own," in
which he gave many reasons why the peo
ple ot the United States should own the
chips necessary to carry their own trade.
Resolutions indorsing the action of the
Postmaster General of the United States In
forbidding the rights of second-class mat
ter to "fake newspapers and other unde
sirable publications," and -urging the adop
tion of a 1-cent rate of letter postage.
which had been rejected by the Resolutions
Committee as outside the province ot the
congress, were taken up and adopted.
The following committees were an
nounced: Advisory Committee H. R. Whltmore.
Missouri, chairman: C. J. Gavin, New Mex
ico; Doctor J. II. Ncagle. California;
Thomas Richardson, Texas; John Cunfteld,
Minnesota.

Colonel B. F. Montgomery of Cripple
Creek, suggested that as the object of the
Transmlsslsslppl Commercial Congress, the
National Irrigation Congress, and the In
ternational Mining 'Congress are in many
respects Identical, they might well be
merged Into one organization, so that with
the same expense to the members the ses
idons might be longer, giving better oppor
tunity for mature consideration of ques
tions coming before them. Upon his mo
tion the president appointed the following
committee to confer with similar commit
tees of the other organizations on the ques
tion of consolidation: B. F. Montgomery,
Colorado: H. R. Whltmore, Missouri; L.
Bradford. New Mexico. Final adjournment
fthe business cessions was then taken.

DEATH IN THE NURSING BOTf LE.
Doctor Nietert Says These Recep
tacles Should Be Sterilized '
What the Assistant Health
Commissioner Says.
The problem of counteracting the sudden
Increase In the mortality of children which
comes -nlth hot weather is one which is
now interesting the Health Department. In
the tenement-houses theso sultry days In
fants die In their mothers' arms and young '
children suddenly become afflicted with
eruptive diseases. Medical science says 'that
much of this can be avoided If the proper
steps are taken by the authorities.
According to the doctors, death lurks in
least suspected places. A Chicago physician,
whose views are Indorsed by doctors at the
St. Louis City Hospital, said: "More deaths
among Infants result from the nursing bot
tle and rubber nipples than from any other
cause during tho summer." Tho medical
men say that the rubber-tube bottle cannot
bo cleansed easily, and. In consequence,
becomes coated with a foreign Infectious
substance
The Ignorance of mothers among the
poorer classes is considered another cause
for the high mortality rato for infants dur
ing July and August. "They do not know-
how
to sterilize receptacles for milk or
other food." said Doctor Nietert, Superin
tenueni 01 tne City Hospital.
In Chicago the Health Department called
for scvcnty-tlve volunteer physicians to go
among the poor of that city and teach them
some of these needful lessons. The same
tplan -was followed two years ago In the
same city. The volunteers distribute among
these poor pamphlets printed In seven lan
guages, which prescribe rules for the care
of infants. It is the object, when possible,
to teach mothers by practical lessons in
hygiene.
Charles W. Francis. Assistant Health
Commissioner, said yesterday that much
can be accomplished along the lines adopted
In Chicago. "But almost the whole thing
liee. he said, "in the quality of the milk.
More deaths amontr children, rich and poor,
are duet to bad milk than to anything else
I know of. There is much adulteration, and
much use of chemicals to prevent souring.
We can do nothing to prevent this until we
have a milk ordinance providing Inspectors
and fixing penalties.
"Volunteer doctors are all right. If they
will volunteer. I have my doubts how many
would volunteer and how long they would
attend to the work. Pamphlets I don't think
of much use. We regularly print warnings
against infectious diseases, but I have had
conclusive evidence that they are not read

Governor Dockery's Action Is Con
strued to Mean That He Will
Keep Excise Commission
- er Seibert in Oflice.
Governor Dockery yesterday announced
tho appointment of Thomas H. Wagner, a
prominent attorney of Memphis, Scotland
County, to the position of Superintendent 'of
the Insurance Department of Missouri. To
Ed T. Orear, the retiring official, has been
offered the office of agency director for the
New York Life Insurance Company In Cen
tral and Southern Missouri.
In political circles In St. Louis there Is no
longer any doubt but that Governor Dock
ery will appoint Exclbo Commissioner
Seibert to continue permanently in his pres
ent office. The announcement of Mr. Sel
bert's appointment was expected yesterday,
as local political organizations and temper
ance associations and law and order socie
ties had indorsed his policy enthusi
astically. But tho opinion Is prevalent among some
local politicians that the temporary ap
pointment may stand, and that the Gov
ernor will not deem It necessary to contlrm
It as permanent. Rumors have been extant
for several days that B. P. Taaffe would b3
appointed by Mr. Seibert as chief deputy to
Excise Commissioner. Mr. Selbert's friends
do not give this statement credence. The
Commissioner Is now in Jefferson CTty,
where he will remain until Monday. Deputy
Excise Commissioner Thompson's friends
believe he will be retained.
A telegram from Jefferson City says that
Governor Dockery yesterday spoke In very
high terms of Mr. Orear's conduct of tho
State Insurance Department, and of Hie
high degree of efficiency to which he has
brought it. Mr. Orear's term expired March
1. and shortly thereaftetr he tendered his
resignation to the Governor, at whose re
quest he consented to continue In office
until August 1, when Mr. Wagner will be
Installed. '
Thomas M. Wagner Is a native MIs
sourlan, 40 years of age. He Is not only a
successful lawyer, but has won distinction
in the practice of his profession. As a
practical and successful business man he
has attained unusual eminence. He has the
entire confidence of the people of his section
of the State, where he is best known, both
in political and business matters.

rublic League of Winstauley Park
Meets to Discuss the New
s Proposition.
Members of "Winstanley Park held a
rousing meeting last night in the Town
Hall to take action on tho proposed con
solidation scheme with East St. Louis.
It is necessary for the citizens of Wln
etcnley Park to socure the names of 5 per
cent of tho residents to a petition In order
to call an election to bring about the con
Eolidatlon. It was unanimously resolved,
however, that the better courso would be
to be sure of a majority of the residents of
the village and to ecue their signatures
before making nn application to tne court
to call an election.
The vllagers of Wlnstanley Park are di
vided on tho question of consolidation. The
question was put to a vote several months
ago, but was defeated. The agitators of
the proposed consolidation assert that they
will be prepared this time to carry the
proposition. The annexation of 'Wlnstaii
ley Park to East St. Louis has been looked
on with favor by East St. Louisans, many
of whom -would move within the boundaries
of the village if it were placed In the
municipality of East St. Louis. Tho trend
of the city Is toward the village, and It Is
expected that In a very short time East
adjoining CenterUUe Station on the west.
The annexation of the village would give
It the benefits of tho East St. Louis fire
and police protection, the school system,
the library and the other benefits enjoyed
by East St. Louis.

afternoon, revived yesterday morning at

Sunday by a man at Oak Hill and Tholoian
avenues. At that time, she had no place to
sleep, and, she asserts that, until she was

casionally begging drink or something to
eat.
Last Sunday, according to her, story, ahe
sent a note to her mother, at No. S128 Grace
avenue, by a boy asking it ahe could come
home, and she states that the boy returned
a negative anwer. From Sunday to Tues
day, she says, that she neither ate nor
drank.
Tuesday she was found by two boys who
carried herwater and procured her green
apples to eat. She was conscious until
Wednesday morning, and from that time
until she woke up yesterday at the City
Hospital she remembers nothing.

he thought the girl mentally deranged,
probably as the result of exposure. He re
garded the case as still serious. The police
are Investigating a statement made by tho
girl late yesterday afternoon, In which
she named a man who, she said, had struck
her.
