J. fl. AID GMS 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.” Kentucky Pledges Clark 30 Votes LOUISVILLE.

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. Thomas W. M'tchell. ■ Thomas W.

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.

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. 1 f - - - I Shirts I 1/ With Fold Cuffs | I m TLoBe who have worn Shirts with soft fold ■ I t BH B ■ ■ cuffs like them, at least most men do. ■ t I I Folks who make some pretense at dressing with ■ ■ I the mode consider them smarter and they are un- ■ I I 1 doubtedly more comfortable for warm weather B ■ than starched cuffs but the sleeves must be rather B■ I H short than long. 1 111 Gotham Shirts of this style are in the fore I K I front and we are lock-stepped with the procession.

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-) ened over the light trucks Yours very truly, FRED MALTHANER ARMY ORDERS | ■WASHINGTON.

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. 3
