TO FIGHT WHITE PLAGUE
(nest Labor Organization to Join
chmond, V., June 9. —Special—|
trade nnions in the State and
y beneficial order represented in
Virginia will soon be enlisted in the
fight against the Great White Plague
if the plans of the State Anti-Tuber
culosis Association, announced yes
terday, ure supported by laboring men
in the state. The association is plan
ning a general campaign among the
unions and is urging upon the local
unions the importance of fighting the
white plague in their midst.
According to the plans of tlie asso
ciation, every union and every chap
ter of every beneficial order in the
state will be requested to form a
health committee and to have spread
tuberculosis literature among its
members, The association will aid
the unions and will probably send a
representative through the state,
lecturing where invited before labor
organisations,
At the headquarters of the Anti-
Tuberculosis Association the follow
ing statemeuf was given out yesterday:
"The Association has begun this cam
paign, because it believes that organ
ized labor and fraternities offer two
of the best channels for fighting dis
ease. The labor union and the bene

from the effects of consumption, and i
annually pay ont in sick benefits and

loss can be prevented, the order and
unions will be greatly benefitted and
the health of their members will be

the Association realizes that the pe
culiarly compact organization of these

ble and effective in the work of the
association. They are united as are

DEATH NOT ACCIDENTAL
Formal Statement of Autopsy by
Physician
New York, June 9.—Charles Coul
ter Dickinson, former president of the
Carnegie Trust Company, and one of
tbest known men in local finance
or to _fiis death after a mysterious
trip to a chemical labortaory at Scran,
ton, Pa , did not come to his end by
accident, according a signed state
ment issued this afternoon by E. W.
De Laon, president of the Casualty
Company of America.
The statement followed an autopsy
that was made by physicians, and an
analysis of portions of the body, both
of which proceedings were conducted
at the urgent request of the casualty
company, which held f65,000 of insur
ance upon the banker's life, which
insurance it had reinsured partially
with three other companies.
The formal statment issued today
does not say what did actually cause
Mr.'Dickinson's death. It states in
positive terms that no accident was
responsible for it. The investigation
by the company was ordered after fre
quent reports of suicide had been
made current gossip and denied. The
formal statement f Dllows:
"We have received the report of our
'physicians on the autopsy on C. C.
Dickinson, and the conclusions reach
ed indicate that death did not result
from accidental causes.
| "We have not yet received proofs
of claims from the beneficiary, and we
are therefore not informed at this
time upon what basis claim will be
made. B____
"For this reason we are not in the
position to make any further state
m ut in regard to this case at present.

FOREIGN COMMERCE
B Review Shows Great
Southern Progross
gton, D. C, June 10.—The
Review of Foreign Commer-
United States, just issued
by the Department of Commerce and
Labor, reveals some footsteps in
Southern progress that are of great
importance
Comparing the exports of 1899 and
1909 it is found that those from Gulf
ports have increased 110 per cent, in
ten years- The exports from Atlantic
ports increased only 12 per cent, dur
ing the same period. Of the seventeen
Atlantic ports showing either large
or small increases during the ten
years, seven are southern ports The
greatest increasein exports madejby any
one of the seven was $26,870,584 at
Savannah, Georgia, showing a growth
of more than 111 ncr cent over 1899.
The greatest propoitionate increase was
made by St. Johns, Florida, the dis
trict of Jacksonville, which showed
an increase of over 700 per cent. The
other noteworthy increases were Wil
mington, N. C, 170 per cent.; Fer
nandina, Fla., 102, per cent. ; and
Brunswick, Ga., 42 per cent,. Anoth
er matter worthy at oheerful consid
eration is that whereas iv 1899 the
exports from the Gulf ports equalled
only 22 per cent, of the exports from
Atlantic ports, in 1909 they equalled
41 per cent.
The import figures for the ten years
prove a closer touch of Southern ports
with the commerce of the world; for
while Atlantic ports increased in the
10 years, 76 per cent. Gulf ports in
creased 240 per cent. As evidence
that the increase of 76 per cent, made
by Atlantic ports was largely depen
dent upon the increases made by the
South Atlantic ports, the following
cities and their increases are mention
ed: Baltimore, Md., $9,151,155 to
$24,022,324; Charleston, S. C, 997,879
to $3,630,796; Savannah. Ga. $376,154
to $2,152,441; Norfolk, Va., $208,005
to $450,598; Wilmington, N. C„
$142,923 to $1,228,991; Richmond, Va.,
$53,360 to $696,984; Georgetown, D.
C,5192,414 to $568,797; St. Johns.,
Fla,, $37,752 to $469,397; Petersburg,
Va., $327 to $264,230; Pamlico, N. C,
$2,337 to $91,922; Fernandina, Fla.,
$25,740 to $90,087, All of them allow
ing much more than 76 per cent. gain.
The total commeroe of the South
Atlantic ports now overtop total im
ports and exports at Boston or at
Philadelphia. The Gulf ports exceed
by $100,000,000 the total imports and
exports of all North Atlantic port* ex
cept New York; the Gulf imports
and exports now equal 33 1-3 per cent,
of the total imports and exports of
New York.
In tlie year 1909 the domestic exports
of the United States show that cot
ton, unmanufactured, alone represent
ed 25.48 per cent- of the total, which
is more than two and a half times the
value of the next most important ex
port, viz meat and dairy products.

I TO RUN LIMITED
Fast Train From Washington to
Harrisonburg
Harrisonburg, June 9.—lt is rumor
ed that in addition to present train
seivice between Washington and Har- s
risonburg, the Southern Railway will
inaugurate new fast limited train,
leaving Washington 3:35 p. m. daily
except Sunday, arriving Harrisonburg
about 9:00 p. in., giving the best
schedule the valley of Virginia and
Harrisonburg has had during the ex
istence of the road
It is assumed that the Pullman

Mr. L. H. Burgess, Southern rail
way reprsenetative in Baltimore,
passed through our city last night
and was interrogated on this point,
and while he did not confirm tlie rum
or, he is of the opinion that some
such change is contemplated at an
early date.
It was reported that the additional
service provides that a passenger train'
to do local work will leave Washing
ton at 4:30, the present time of No.
13, and will reach Harrisonburg about
10:30 o'clock. __
The new limited train will make
very feY stops between Mansasas and
Harrisonburg.
The establishment of this new fast
train snows that the Southern offi
cials are determined to give the val
ley the very best service possible.

as though a cold wind had come out

"I thought I'd see bow the girl

you glad to see a fellow?"
"I don't know," answered Ganley
suddenly.
"You don't know!" repeated Elton

Ganley arose and started

YEAR'S FOOD FOR TRAVELERS
Some Surprising Figures from an
Atlantic Line —Coat was $4,000,

It must be the gyroscope attach
ment on the modern transatlantic
liner, or else the ball bearings on
which they run. which has reduced
the proverbial amount of sea sick
ness among the passengers. If it

Ings, readers are respectfully re
ed to supply their own explana-
That an explanation is due
s to one's understanding after
a little examination of the
figures relating to 1907, pictur
esquely set. forth by the chief stew
ard of pne of the big lines.
Ksick passengers, no matter how
of them are carried, could not
comfortably consume food of which
the wholesale cost was more than
$4,000,000. This is seen at once
when it is noted that the total ex
pense for coal on the same line was
but $7,000,000, and of course none
of the boilers was seasick and their
consuming-, capacity is notoriously
greater than any passenger, no mat
ter how good an appetite he has.
Before noting some of the figure!
of food it is*pleasing to observe some
of those relating to beverages. Now
as to champagne, which is said to be
an excellent cure and for that mat
ter a preventive of seasickness, pas
sengers last year pulled the plugs
out of only a few more than 51,000
bottles of champagne. When it
comes to claret the figures jump so
respectably that Itf is seen that a
man hiay rise a thirst some where
west of Suez as well as east. Of that

--uttles and 73,384 gallons. But
these are after all trifling nip's when
we come to look at the figures relat
ing to beet, for of that beverage j
more than half a million gallons
were drunk, and it is not reported '
that the quartermasters had any un
usual police duty to perform at that
The recent installation of the a la
carte system in the restaurants of
the modern liners accounts for an
amazing growth iv the consumption
of delicacies, such as were seldom
found on even the best ships when
the business of feeding passengers
was exclusively table d'hote. Res
.taurant diners on the liners whose
figures are being considered con
sumed many, many thousand part
ridges, snipe, quails, pheasants,
grouse, canvasback ducks. They de
manded literally mauy hundreds of
thousands of live lobsters and craw
fish, of fresh littlenecks, b'.uepolnts
and softshell crabs. They consumed
such a quantity of green turtle soup
that the chefs had to use up 13,407
pounds of fresh turtle in its making.
Coming around to the more sub
stantial articles of diet it is found
that of fresh beef there were used
8,311,927 pounds, and of pork and
veal and mutton about three-quar
ters of a million pounds of each.
