ATTEMPTS HIS LIFE

EATON, O., Aug. 14. John Sharkey, 58 years old, attempted to end his life shortly -after noon today' in his home by cutting his throat with a razor. He is expected to die. An eye affliction, from which he has been suffering recently, ia ascribed as the motive. .. . Sharkey has been - in the railroad service for thirty-five years, and has been Pennsylvania freight agent here for sixteen years. ; His wife and Harry heard him fallafter he had plied the razor. Two sisters and a brother were summoned to' his bedside.

FIRST CONFERENCE

Continued from page One that the rights of the public were too deeply involved to permit a strike. While it was made very plain by officials that there was no intention of making threats the president has let it be known that with congress in session, before he will allow the traffic of the nation to be tied up he will appear in person before a joint session and demand legislation that would preclude any strike. Already the president has in his bands the authority to take over and operate the railways if he so desires. The Hay-Chamberlain army bill now a law is drastic in the authority it gives the president in case of an emergency. And. with practically the entire national guard on the border depending for food and supplies on the uninterrupted services of the railroad officials say the emergency contemplated by the army bill would, be present if a strike were ordered. Mails Would Bs Stopped. In addition there is the matter of interference with the United States mails. The laws on the subject officials say, go not only for first class mail but also for all classes including parcel post. If . he so desired the president could compel the movement of all trains carrying any sort of mail under pain of prosecution. But officials insisted that there was no such intention on the part of the president. He hoped, they said, to reconcile the differences between the brotherhoods and the railroads so that all bitter feeling would be eliminated. The president's position as outlined in the telegram to both sides which resulted in the transfer of.the negotiations to this city was in part, as follows: "A general strike of the railways

would at any time have a far reaching and injurious effect on the country. At this time the effect might be disastrous. I feel that I have the right, therefore, to request and I do hereby request, as the head of the government, that, before any final decision is arrived at, I may have a personal conference with you here.''

APPEAL FOR

Continued From Page One. said his plea for a tuberculosis hospital was from a humanitarian standpoint. Patients Not Wanted. "Tubercular people are wanted nowhere. If left free in society they not only endanger. the lives of others but also are often pained greatly by the way in which they are slighted. If they are put in a separate place and given the proper kind of treatment, both patient and community are benefitted. "With twenty patients in the tuberculosis hospital, the upkeep would aTerage about $400 yearly to a person," declared Dr. S. E. Smith, superintendent at Easthaven. Can Reduce Expenses. "There are ways to reduce this expense, however. Place the institution on a section of the poor farm or on a farm elsewhere. "The food at a tuberculosis hospital is the most expensive item but most of this could be raised on the farm and by the patients themselves. Work and exercise under the proper supervision is one of the essentials to the cure of the disease. "Many of the inmates would be able to pay part of their own expenses. A scale of charges should be enact,: ed, whereby a person cpuld be charged in accordance with his means. "The medical man in charge could give consultations to outside people and his pay for this used for upkeep' of the institution. A superintendent would cost between $2,500 and $3,000 a year; a head nurse about $75 a month; two other day nurses, $50' a month; a night nurse, $60. Handle Twenty Patients. "This help could easily care for twenty patients or more. When I speak of twenty patients I do not mean that there will only be twenty people cared for in the institution during the year but that this would be the average number at a time. A person with the disease could be brought in and released well on the road to recovery within two months. During the year probably sixty or more people would be cared for. Out of twenty patients who would be sent

to the hospital, at least ten would leave cured, out of fifty, twenty-five would leave cured." Dr. L. F. Ross said that there were two main reasons for a tuberculosis hospital.' First, to take adequate care of people ! who have the ,. disease, second, to take care of the cases which can be cured. "At present doctors cannot convince people- that they have the disease. If there ' was some expert who they could be. referred to, his advice and decision would have to be respected." Jordan .Makes Speech. William H. Romey and Charles Jordan spoke in behalf of the health committee' of the Commercial club. Mr. Jordan said the entire appeal to the commissioners was from an unselfish standpoint. Nobody that had spoken would be personally .benefited and all would have to help bear the taxes, as would the thousand signers of the petition which was handed to the commissioners. "When an expert condemned the Main Street bridge, traffic was immediately' stopped," he declared. "Yet if one street car had gone through the bridge it would have cost the county more than tuberculosis does each year and fewer lives would have been lost. Bavis Explains Methods. Alfred Bavis told how the 7 cent levy for the retirement of the court

house V-nds, which were all paid this j

year, would be sufficient to build bith bridges and a hospital. "Under the 7 cent levy $350,000 could be levied and retired in twenty years. Already $105,000 has been saved up in the bridge fund which has extended over, a number of years. This make,s a total of $455,000. The South G street and Main street bridges will not cost

more than $270,000 together. This!

witn the $2o,000 for the hospital makes a total of $395,000 expended and leaves $50,000 for interest and other incidental expenses. If the ways and means exists, it is the duty of the commissioners to build the hospital."

FAMILY LIVING

Continued from page One moved in with his relatives. The sufferer noticed that his relatives did not want him but for the sake of his wife and child did not move away. To help matters out, he agreed to live in a barn at the rear of the home. This satisfied the relatives for a while but the diseased man soon realized that although his kin folks were willing to do all they could for him, they were too poor to support him and his family. After persistent efforts he secured the tent in which he is living. He could find no place to put it. Everybody feared him. At last a landowner consented to let him place it in his orchard. Cares for Husband. The wife took her child and moved to the tent to care for her sick hus

band. They had no money and were too proud . to ask for charity. Even their tent was not sufficiently furnished. After some time,' people of the community discovered the condition of the unfortunate family and took in supplies. " The tent was floored and food supplied them. The county visiting nurse took charge of the situation. Through the assistance o Romcy's furniture store the tent has been furnished and the Anti-Tuberculosis society is planning to erect another tent so that the woman and child can live apart from the diseased husband. Baby May Get Germs. "It may be that the three-months-old child has already contracted the germs," Miss Kennedy, visiting nurse, said today. "The germs are usually contracted by children while under ten years of age. The man if there was some way in which he could be continually under the direct supervision of Ekilled nurses and doctors could be cured. But as it is, it is a hard fight. Tn the first place there fs nobody

that can guard him and direct'him ia taking correct exercises. ',;." - Hospital is Needed.' "The only way in which the case could be properly cared for would be in a hospital where he could be properly cared for by experts. : Since it is impossible to get the case in the Btate hospital, the only remedy for such would be some kind of a county institution. , ' ; . j "In case the county had had a tuberculosis hospital it is likely that the man would have gone to it when he first discovered that he had the disease. By this time he would hare been well on the road to recovery.
