WILL DOCTOR DAVIS CONTINUE THE WORK?

it Is Generally Believed That New Health Secretary Approves Pure Milk Campaign Two Examples. By purchasing milk which dairymen were delivering to their customers in this city and feeding this milk to guinea pigs the health authorities have in their possession a large list of dairies whose product is contaminated with tubercular germs, if the guinea pig experiments are correct. Generally this means of testing baccilli !ia regarded as an infallible one. However, whether the tuberculine test of dairies will be continued by the new administration remains to be determined by the stand taken by the incoming health board, of which Dr. T. Henry Davis is secretary. Dr. Davis is an anti-tuberculosis advocate j of the most pronounced type and, 4nquestionably, the Investigations made by the last administration will be approved and action taken to keep the dairies in the cleanest and most healthful state. Just One Illustration. The need of a close and rigid inspection of dairy cows, furnishing milk in this city, is said, by Dr. Charles Bond to be imperative and he cited as an il lustration, the finding of the health authorities in the killing of two cows helonirine to Cornelius Ratliff, tHe dairyman which reacted to the tubercu line test when administered a few days ago. These cows were disposed of at the Red Slaughter house Friday, the! lungs and intestines being closely in spected. In one of the cows, which; was pronounced as a very bad case, thei lungs were practically destroyed by tha tubercular baccilli. The other cowi suffered from glandular tuberculosis, but in a less developed state. The cows were immediately placed in tankage and cooked into fertilizer. CANAL JUNKETERS EXPECTED SUNDAY Several Senators During the Holiday Recess Visited Panama. ARE FAMILIAR WITH WORK AS ARE FULLY ONE-HALF MEM BERS OF CONGRESS, WHO HAVE VISITED THE BIG DITCH FROM TIME TO TIME. (American News Service) Washington, Jan. 1. The delegation of senators which has been spending the holiday recess on the canal zone inspecting the construction work and investigating conditions there, is expectetd to reach Washington tomorrow. More than one-half of the members of both houses have now visited the isthmus since the construction of the canal begun .and have become conversant with the work there. It is not improbable that the. two most recent trips, one made by a committee of members of the houses jutt before the opening of the regular session, and the one which the senators are Just concluding, will have an importaant bearing upon the bill now pending to change the government of4

There is likely to be a a fide difference of opinion over the advisability of such action and one of 'he purposes of the senate delegation in going to Panama at this time was to investigate the desirability of making such a change.

5M V'&4'vV; WILL SPEAK HERE Captah Alberta Will Tell of Thrilling Adventures in I Siberia. HOW HE MADE TWO ESCAPES : i BECAUSE HE ASSISTED A BROTHer LODGE MEMBER TO ESCAPE THE ARMY OFFICER WAS v CRUELLY PERSECUTED.

Alberta, a Russian, who will deliver two lectures at the Masonic temple on the evenings of Wednesday and Thursday, January 5th and 6th. The story of the famous captains life reads like a dime novel. He was at one time captain in the Russian army, but was lowered to the rank of a common soldier and exiled into Siberia, because he helped a brother Mason to escape a living death in that country. After months of plotting and clever scheming the captain made (a successful escape from Siberia ana bame to this country, where he re gained for some time. Returns to Russia. He finally returned to Russia, how ever, tor the purpose or getting nis wife and children and bringing them to America. While there, although he was in disguise, he was captured and returned to Siberia, where a close watch was kept over him for several months; It was through the assist ance of brother Masons that Captain lalberta again affected his escape and came to the United States, to remain this time. Captain Alberta will be brought to Richmond under the' aus pices of the two local lodges of MaNons, Webb lodge No. 24 and Rich mond lodge No. 196. He belongs to all the Masonic orders in the world being1 a 33rd degree Mason. The lecture on Wednesday night will be for Masons only. The lecture Thursday night however, will be open to the public.

,Y. lb O OLD WHITEWATER NOW THREATflG OVERFLOW BANKS Thaw of the Past Two Days Has Caused the River to Rise to an Extent That Looks Dangerous. WILL CAUSE TROUBLE IF WARM SPELL LASTS Streets of the City Were Small Streams Yesterday and Were Avoided by Those Who Could Do So. The usually peaceful Whitewater river is now beginning to get boisterous and if the present warm weather continues it will do serious damage to the factories and residences situated in the lowlands along its banks, it is said. The heavy snow fall of last week was greatly apreciated by all as long as the cold weather lasted. But now comes the thaw and with the thaw comes a general feeling of alarm among those who have interests along the river's banks. Perfect streams of water flowed down the steep banks on both sides of the river all day yesterday and last night the river was up about two feet and is expected to rise today. It is said that if the river continues to go up as rapidly a it did yesterday, the stream will be a raging torrent within a few days and property will be endangered. Ready to Migrate. The residents of Happy Hollow are ready to leave at an instant notice when the water reaches its high mark and drives them from their homes. The warm weather has also put a damper on the bouyant spirits of the ice men, whose visions of storing away large quantities of the frozen water are rapidly disappearing with each glance at the thermometer. However they got in some excellent work while the cold spell lasted and almost enough ice has already been cut, it is said, to supply the demands of Richmond next summer. Some of the streets in the city were almost impassable yesterday. The crossings were flooded and the sewers were unable to hold the enormous amount of water which was emptied into them. Boats would have been in order on many of the thoroughfares, and walking was so sloppy that few persons ventured out, unless required to do so. The fact that the backbone of the cold wave has been broken is very acceptable to the poor people and the suffering is much less than was experienced last week at this time. GAS FOR NEW YORK? Pittsburg, Jan. 1. The report is again in circulation throughout western Pennsylvania that the Standard Oil company, through the People's Natural Gas company of this city, will construct a pipeline from Pittsburg to New York to supply the metropolis with natural gas. .

MORSE PREPARES EOR PRISON LIFE Former Ice King Displayed Same Stoicism Characteristic of Him. TO SERVE FIFTEEN YEARS "THIS MEANS A LIFE TERM" SAID THE EX-MILLIONAIRE YESTERDAY WHEN CONVERSING WITH A FRIEND. (American News Service) New York, Jan. 1. With the stoicism characteristic of him when he was dealing in millions, Charles W. Morse former ice lingn todrr in tlse Tombs made his meagre preparations for leaving for Atlanta. There he will begin his term of 15 years in federal prison for violating the natinoal banking law. "This means a life term," he said to a friend today. Mr. Morse, if he lives out the term, will be TO years old when released. To Start Sunday. It is probable that Morse will leave on the 1 o'clock express on the Pennsylvania Sunday morning. Martin W. Little ton, his attorney, today said the time of departure had not been definitely settled. The dropping of Morse's fight ends one of the longest of its kind ever waged in America. It was expected that Little ton would apply for a writ of habeas corpus but he will not press the petition. After Mrs. Morse accompanies her husband to Atlanta, she will return to her girlhood home. There she married Charles Dodge, her first husband, who appeared after her marriage to Morse and created a scandal that caused the imprisonment and disgrace of Abe Hummel, one of the most notorious lawyers in New York.

Indianapolis Hears That Chicago Record-Herald Secured to Join Beveridge Presidential League.

CLAIM IS SUPPORTED BY BEST OF EVIDENCE John C. Shafer, Who Is Fighting to Gain Star League and Who Has Louisville Paper, Figures in Tale. (American News Service) Indianapolis, January 1. The reported purchase of the Chicago-Record Herald by the Field-Palmer Interests is believed by many politicians in certain circles in Indianapolis to be only another link in the formation of a newspaper chain to boom United States Senator Beveridge for president of the United States to succeed Talt. About a year ago. John C. Shafer, reported to have been backed by Mrs. Potter Palmer of Chicago, purchased the Indianapolis Star, the Munoie Star and the Terre Haute Star .three influential republican newspapers of Indiana, formerly the property of Daniel G. Reid. The sale if being held up by a receivership, the minority stock and bond holders alleging that Reid had no right to sell the string of papers. Is Still Unsettled. The matter is still in the bands of the court, but Shafer stands a splendid show of eventually getting absolute control of the three dallies. A few weeks ago Mr. Shafer bought the Morning Herald, at Louisville, Ky., a republican paper that has a large circulation in Southern Indiana. Shafer and Beveridge are intimate friends. It has become generally understood here that Shafer desires the big string of papers in order to boom Beveridge for the. presidency ... WALTER CAMP TALKS Gives His Views on How to Remedy the Great American College Game. HE FAVORS AN OPEN PLAY (American News Service) New Haven, Conn., Jan. 1. Breaking his long silence, Walter Camp, the foot ball expert and athletic advisor of Yale, is out today with recommendations, which he believes, will reduce the danger of accidents. His principal recommendation is that of a ten yard wide zone, and the confining of the players to five yards each side of the ball till it is snapped back. One member of the offense is allowed by Camp's suggestion to play outside of the ten yard zone. This would tend to make the defense stronger. Camp advocates the lengthening of the distance to be gained in three tries from ten to fifteen yards, till the twenty-five yard line is reached. From there to the 15 yard line he would make the distance ten yards, and then five yards on to the goal. This would make scoring more frequent- He would prohibit the forward pass crossing the line of scrimmage and abolish the rule compelling the quarterback to run the five yards to one side of the snap back point before crossing the scrimmage line.

paigng to Secure the Fund

May Be Started. . DEFICIT ESTIMATED AT ABOUT $12,000 Plan of Making Small Assess ments Against the Members Has Been Thought Of Views of Secretary. One of the more important things to be undertaken by the Y. M. C. A., dur ing the year will be to wipe out of existence the debt that has continu ously hung over its head, since its ex istence. This is the deficit of $ 12,0 incurred in the construction and equipment of the association and was originally several thousand dollars more than the above figure. Just bow this debt may be met, the association officials can not see. However, in their minds the surest way is to inaugurate a campaign after the annual banquet to oe held sometime this month, and endeavor to get local people sufficiently interested in the work of the association that their financial support will be given. Not Entire Success. In addition to the fact that there is a deficit in the original expense, it may, perhaps, be found that the past year was not an entire success that is financially as few associations are in their first few years of existence. Secretary Goodwin, when asked about this particular point, stated be had not completed his report for December and consequently did not know how the association finances for the year would foot up. vHe impressed -one, however, with the opinion that there might be a deficit. A deficit for the past year would not result by any means in the abandoning of the association; in fact it would only add stimulus to the purpose of the organization. If the association's future was threatened by any. immedi ate action, it would be freed from debt within a week's time, It is believ ed, for several good reasons. Proba bly the more important is that every one realizes it is an excellent thing for the young men of the city, adding mor al tone and physical development to their character. As about 8ft) mem bers enjoy its privileges, it would be a comparatively easy matter to assess each member a nominal sum and ask for larger subscriptions from wealthier members, by which system a sum would be realized sufficient to meet all demands. May Adopt Plan. The financial condition of the asso ciation was discussed to some length by this official. He said that the $12,0i)0 debt, now hanging over the association was money borrowed from lo cal banks. The directors have given promissory notes, some being for GO days, others for longer periods. It is made the practice of the directors to meet the interest as it falls due and then renew the notes. As long as the association is able to do this, there will be no difficulty in obtaining money. The financial report for the past year, when it Is compiled, will be of In terest. In addition to showing what the officails claim that the assocla tion will eventually be self-sustaining, it will give the people at large an idea as to the great expense required to run such an organization.
