CHUMSHIP
Colonel's Supporters Plan to
Seat Howell in Place of
Victor Rosewater.
CHICAGO. May 30 -When R. B.
Howell, elected national Republican
, committeeman from Nebraska, arrives
!r. Chicago today and claims his right
to his place immediately, one of the
most adroit moves, politicians say, ever
seen in a national campaign will hav'
been started. Should Howell be seated,
a Roosevelt supporter will take the
place of Victor Rosewater, acting chair
man of the national committee. That
would give the Roosevelt men an unex
pected, advantage in preparing the tem
porary organization, ts he is not seat
ed at once, the Roosevelt men will have
grounds for a claim of manipulation of
•The national committee against them.
Howell's claim is based on the fact
that he was legally elected under the
laws of Nebraska, and is therefore the
committeeman.
His contest is the first of four or
■. five that will he made by the Roosevelt
faction. The next case. It is expected,
will come from Missouri, where Thom
as K. Neidringhaus, a Roosevelt man.
has been elected over Charles Nagel,
secretary of commerce and labor.
Chairman New. of the sub-committee
in charge of the convention, said:
“The members of the committee are
elected to serve four years Their terms
begin at the adjournment of the con
vention. If any other man than Mr.
Taft should be elected president in No
vember, he might with just as much
propriety go to the white house at
once and demand the place, because he
wanted the job so badly he couldn't
wait.”

CAN'T MAKE REPORTER
TELL STORY’S SOURCE
MILWAUKEE. May 30.—The ques
"tion whether a newspaper reporter can
be required to reveal under oath the
jojirfe, of information on which he
bases a newspaper article came up be
' fore Judge Turner, who ruled in effect
that a newspaper man's confidence is
inviolable.
John Killilea, who had caused, a re
porter to come into circuit court, re
quested the court to require a reporter
on oath to reveal the names of the
persons from whom he had obtained in
formation which was used in a news
article. Killilea said the publication of
the article during the pendency of the
case tended to prejudice the jury and
that statements made in the review of
the history of the condemnation pro
ceeding- were incorrect and evidently
supplied to 'the reporter by persons in
terested in the case.
Judge Turner divided that he had no
power to'require the reporter to be
sworn or examined unless the reporter
volunteered.

Mothers All Over the Country
Interested in Plan of “Bring
ing Up" Youngsters.
NEW YORK. May 30.—The eyes of
the mothers of the nation today are on
four babies, who are being brought up
by entirely different methods, and ail of
whbm seem to be getting along with
about equal success.
The babies are:
. WILEY, JOHN HARVEY, week-old
son of Dr Harvey W. Wiley, and known
a.s the pure food baby.
GORTON, the twins of Dr. David
Allyn, who are known as the scientific'
babies.
DI'DENHOEFFER. DOFGLAR DAN
IEL, the meat-eating baby.
When the Wiley baby opened his
eyes on the world a little more than a
week ago the proud father, who is the
greatest living authority on food h--
gione, outlined what he'called a moo -1
diet.
"The great infant mortality Is direct
ly due to ignorance as to the care that
should be taken of babies. Our child is
to be a pure food and fresh air baby
literally.
"At first It will take natural food
from his mother, and it surpasses any
baby food that ever has be<m or ever
will be invented. A child should not be
weaned until he is fifteen or eighteen
months old. and neve until he has
passed his second summer. Os course
he will have some light food before that
time, but only a little white egg and
gruel. After he begins to eat he will
have cereals, fresh, good meats, soft
boiled eggs, barley broth, starchy food
in moderation and fruit juice.
Wife Picked For Wiley, Jr.
Alreadv a wife ha: been picked for
the Wiley baby, subject, how eve', to
"ratification of the respective parlies to
the agreement later." The two-year
old daughter of Food Commissioner R.
M. Allen, of Kentucky, is the prospec
tive bride.
The birth of twins to his wife, ac
cording to Dr, Gorton, the 80-year-old
scientist, proves that vegetables make
the best diet. Almost ail his life Dr.
Gorton has been a vegetarian and th°
babies will be brought upon the same
diet.
"I find that a vegetable diet has a
tendency to make my mind clearer,” he
said. "Meat is full of the causes of
disease and if eaten at ail it should be
thoroughly cooked.
"Meat is all right if you are to raise
a race of fighting men, but vegetables
produce a better class of men and
women That is the food which makes
for intellect "

PARIS, May 30.—A new religious
prophet has made his appearance. He

Assan Dino was horn in Lahore and
was for ten years a resident of one of
those Brahmin monasteries which are
to be found in th“ Himalayas, and
where no European or even Asiatic has
set foot. After his sojourn in the
monastery, he traveled on foot through

Through Part of Brazil Con
sidered Impenetrable.
LONDON. May 30.—A. H Savage
Landon has just returned to England
from an eighteen months journey in
the unexplored parts' of South Amer
ica. In an interview with a corre
spondent of The Georgian he said:
“My journey included the whole of
the unexplored part of Brazil between
Rio nnd Manaos. in the great central
basin of the Zingu. Tapajoz and Ma
deira rivers, a region which the Bra
zilians themselves have always regard-,
ed as impenetrable.
“After crossing Brazil, I went over
the Andes through Peru, to Lima,
thence to Cuzco and Lake Titicaca, to
examine the Inca ruins. Next I went
across Bolivia and Chile to Ontofa
gasta: from this point to Valparaiso
by steamer, and once more across
South America to Buenos Aires.
“With the exception of 30 hours in
the train, all traveling was done on
mule, by canoe or on foot. For about
half the distance we had to cut our
own path through the forest or pro
ceed along the great campus or by
prairies over vast areas of absolutely
uninhabited country
Hard To Get Companions.
“At first the B azilian government
took great interest in my plans ana
proposed that I should be accompa
nied by Brazilians, but this fell
through as the government was un
able to find any Brazilians,who 1 were
willing to accompany me owing to
fear of Indians and tne density of the
virgin forests, which they declared
were Impassible.
“I had to run the undertaking my
self. I found it very difficult to get
the 30 men I needed, but eventually
succeeded in obtaining six native Bra
zilians. who only came as the result
of the very heavy payment I offered
"When I left Rio in March of last
year I took enough provisions to last
a year, but owing to wastage on the
part of my men and loss these event
; ually gave out. and towards the end
! of that part of the expeditions through
the unexplored part of Brazil we re
mained for sixteen days without a
morsel of anything to eat.
"Although accustomed to roughing
it. I nearly died Starvation brought
on anaemia, which was succeeded by
beri-beri, in the right leg. causing th*
atrophy of two toes. Eventually we
came through, but in a terrible plight.
I lost 50 pounds in weight."
Mr. Landon said he studied several
new tribes, made vocabularies of their
language and made some interesting
geological, geographical and anthro
pological observations.

If you are unhappy,
have a grouch or a
grievance, here’s the
place to tell about it.
Editor The Georgian;
What I should like explained is. are
there any merits to the P A. Y. E. cars
Their inconvenience is' sure marked,
and principally the cars of the present
construction are an imposition upon
the white public. During rush hours
the whites naturally occupy more than
their quota of seats, and as a conse
quence the rear of the coach is pack
ed with standing negroes. This com
pels our wbmen folks to elbow their
way to the front of the coach, which is
next to a physical impossibility for
even a man. unless of the physique of
Jim Jeffries. It appears to me. before
•he transit company adopt northern
ideas as to coaches, they should study
local conditions. Their engineers could
have secured plans of the coaches used
in some of our cities whereby the pas
sengers enter from the, middle or two
thirds back. This divides the coach
into two separate and distinct com
partments. The negroes should occupy
the rear compartment and the whites
th* front Furthermore, this type of
coach was designed principally for .its
rapidity in loading and unloading-pas
sengers.
For my part. I fall to see where the.
transit company is gaining time at
stops with the present P A V. E. cars.
The only reason their schedule time is,
shortened is due entirely to the fact,
that the trucks are equipped with,
heavy motors, and the elapse of timei
from dead stop to full speed Is short-)

WINNING BATTLE
ON WHITE PLAGUE
Prevention Expert Declares Tu
berculosis Is on Wane Where
Fight Has Been Active.
WASHINGTON. May 30.—-With med
ical and scientific experts from all parts
of the country present, the eighth an
nual meeting of the National Associa
tion for the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis convened here today.
In his paper on “The Death Rate
From Tuberculosis in Large Cities." Dr.
H. M. Riggs, chief medical officer of the
New York city department of health,
said in part:
“There can be no doubt that the rate
of decrease in deaths from tuberculosis
in numerous countries and cities has
been proportionate to the activity and
energy with which the campaign for
prevention has been carried on.
Chicago Alone Shows Increase.
“The only one of these large.cities in
which there has been an increase .in
the death rate from pulmonary tuber
culosis is in Chicago. The most' re
markable decrease has taken plaee in
London. It may be noted that, the death
rate in Paris is more than three times
that of London and twice that of New
York and Berlin.
“Difficulties in the way of preven
tion are far greater in New York than
in any other large city, but the results
which have been attained In these re
cent years everywhere where active
campaigns have been carried on are
certainly most encouraging."
Costs Billion Dollars Yearly,
The paper on "Revised Estimate of
the Economic Cost of Tuberculosis,"
by Professor Fisher, reviewed the sta
tistics of tuberculosis since 1908, when
he showed that tuberculosis costs the
country over a billion dollars a year,
of which at least Mtn.ooo.noo an rf prob
ably much more were costs borne by
others than the victims of the disease.
Investigations of four years ago are
now confirmed by Professor Fisher’s
estimate for 1912. and they all substan
tially agree In the conclusion that the
annual actual monetary loss to society
from tuberculosis, without counting the
losses to the victims of the disease
themselves, exceeds half a billion dol
lars a year. The figure for this social
loss wifi reach at least $570,000,000.
If in the same way we calculate the
losses to the victims themselves, in
cluding losses before death and the
capitalized earning power cut off by
death, we reach a still larger sum. mak
ing the total loss well above a billion
a year. TheSe cold calculations take
no account, of course, of the fact that
a man's own life is worth more to him
than the earnings he expects it to bring
and that the loss of monetary support
is not the chief loss which widows and
orphans suffer from the death of a
loved husband and father.
