State Organizer of Tubercui. losis Society Confers Here.

WANT APPROPRIATION . Declaring that tuberculosis cost "Wayne county last year $270,000, and that the county officials should appropriate enough money to construct a tuberculosis hospital near this city, Walter D. Thurber, corresponding secretary and state organizer of the In- ' Hlann. nsRnckMnn for th Studv and

Prevention of Tuberculosis, was in ,", this city today and conferred with members of the Wayne county society. Mr. Thurber declares that under the . recent act passed by the Indiana general assembly the county council may appropriate money for a tuberculosis hospital. Fifty-four Deaths. "Last year there were fifty-four deaths In Wayne county alone from tuberculosis," said Mr. Thurber. "In the city forty-five deaths resulted from the ravages of this disease. Figuring deaths at $5,000 each, as all insurance companies do, tuberculosis in Wayne county In 1912 cost $270,000. Of course that is not an exactly humane way of figuring deaths but it goes to show that something must be done for the prevention of consumption." Want $15,000 Appropriation. , Dr. S. E. Bond, prominent member of the county society, stated fnat $15,000 would cover everything needed for a tuberculosis hospital. He says that with $10,000, a central building could be constructed, which could be used for a nurse's and officials' building and kitchens. With $5,000, he says, shacks and tents and equipment could be secured. Dr. Bond, who is director for the Sixth congressional district, representing the Indiana society, will call a meeting of all workers in the organization to be held in this city within a Bhort time, when plans for petitioning tho rnnntv officials f rr on onnrnnrla.

SPEAKER CLARK IS A LOBBYWITNESS He Denies That He Ever Knew Lauterbach or David Lamar.

(National News Association') WASHINGTON, July 11. Speaker Champ Clark appeared before the lobby investigating committee today and read a statement which he declared he had never in his life discussed the steel trust investigations with Senator Stone of Missouri and that he never knew David Lamar or Edward Lauterbach. The speaker's declaration was in answer to the Lamar-Lauterbach testimony before the committee. It was the intention of the committee to call Col. Martin Mulhall but thfs action was delayed by the lengthy tes

timony given by W. L. Whitman of Boston a wool manufacturer. "Mr. Ledyard says that Lauterbach told him that he was in communication with me through Senator Stone," said Speaker Clark. "Lauterbach, who acknowledged on the witness stand that he had lied, said that Lamar gave him the information. Lamar confessed that the whole tale was a lie to force Morgan and Company to take Lauterbach into their employ. All of them disclaimed any acquaintance with men. Senator Stone justly and promptly characterized the Lamar-Lauterbach tale as a lie. He and I never in our lives conversed about Morgan and Co., or the Steel Trust Investigations. I had never heard of Lamar and knew him only

by seeing his name in the papers that there was such a man as Louis Cass Ledyard. It seems to me that when Ledyard found out that Senator Stone's name and my name were being bandied about by Lamar and Lauterbach he ought to have let me know."

James Gordon, 25, son of John Gordon, of Indianapolis, well known in this city, was today sentenced to life imprisonment, having been convicted on the charge of killing his Bister, Gertrude. Young Gordon's plea of insanity failed to impress the jury. Gordon flew into a rage and felled his sister with a chair at their home in West Indianapolis just after the March flood, when the girl upbraided him for shlftlessnesB and failure to assist in renovating their house, which had been inundated by flood waters. In falling the girl's head struck a washstand, and she died without regaining consciousness. Father an Invalid. Young Gordon's father was born in Richmond. The Gordons removed to Indianapolis from this city about fifteen years ago. The elder Gordon was employed as master mechanic in the Belt railroad shops until he was permanently injured in the railroad Bhop. Thomas Gordan, an uncle, who also lived in this city, is an engineer on the Belt road.

Green corn made its first appearance for this year at the east end market place yesterday. There was only a small amount, but it Is the welcome forerunner of the real crop, which will begin to arrive in about ten

days. Home grown tomatoes were also in evidence at the market, along with raspberries, cherries, and vegetables in season. Up to thiB time no gardeners have come to the Sixth street market house, because the produce is all sold easily at the Main street market, but as soon as corn and tomatoes become plentiful, both market places will be in use.

Markets are held in the east end on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, and at the market house on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

The popularity of the east end market at Seventeenth and Main struts has increased so that the residents near there claim the hucksters who sell produce there do not bring, enough along with them to supply the demand. A complaint against the early market hours is also made. The farmers and gardeners who sell at the market come before 5 o'clock In the morning and by 6:30 o'clock it is practically impossible to pur-

! chase anything. Many men and wo

men who do not arise early enough to get to market with the vanguard register a complaint when they find their purchases very limited at 6:30 and the most desired produce has

been sold. I The residents of the East end want

the market hours placed at what they formerly were, 5 o'clock to 8:30 o'clock and want Marketmaster John Taylor to request the gardeners to bring enough produce with them so that every marketer can procure, what he wantB. No formal protest against the early market hours has been made, as yet.
