ance of rest in the treatment of tuber
culoaia, but also insist that properly
regulated exercise is very necessary.
They state their Conclusions thus:
"Exercise when properly .regulated
and systematically graded is an im
portant factor in the treatment of
Pulmonary tuberculosis. Through It
the patient is in many caseei^turned

chances of future relapse. At toe

Dr. Pratt, who was founder of the
first Tuberculosis Class la the Unlt-<
ed States in the Emmanual Church
to Boston, claims that In the treat*
ment of tuberculosis absolute rest,
often In bed. must be extended over
a period of months, before the con
sumptive ahould tike any exercise.
He says, "Prolonged rest In bed o\it
6f doors yields better results than
any other method of treating pulmo

Washington. June 20.? Thomas
| Morrison, disbursing clerk of the
8tate Department, told tbe House
| committee on expejailfcurea In that de
i partment that he had beeiMnstructeu
| whan the missing Toucher In the Day
| portrait case under Investigation was
found on the floor of hit office a few
days ago, to keep still about the dls
| covery. This Instruction, be said was
given him br Wilbur J. Carr. chief
roT the consular bureau, who said It
I was not advisable to say much abont
it as it would be investigated.
Tbe disclosure was made 7 when
Chairman Hamlin asked him If be
bad made any further attempt since
bis examination a few days ago to
discover bow tbe missing voucher
came to be on tbe floor of his of
fice
The serious view taken of the mat
ter by state department officials was
reflected in a' copy of a letter from
Okas. Denby, Consul General at Vien
na, Austria, former chief clerk of the
state department under Secretary
Root when the first investigation Into
the mystery of {he 9 1,480 voucher for
IS50 portrait was made. Secretary
Kncx submitted thla letter, dated
Vienna. May SO. 1011, and a cable
gram previously received.
Answering Mr. gnox j first cable- 1
for an ex^lfnjttlcn of the por-J
Vienna on May SO:
"No written report was made.
Careful preliminary investigation fall
ed to convince department that clrm
inal carges could be sustained."
Reporting by mall Mr. Denby ex
plained that the voucher discrepancy
was discovered In 1906 when the de
partment negotiated for a portrait
of Secretary Hay and that prior tc
the Root regime it was customary to
Include In one voucher smaller sums
paid for a number of expenses out
of the appropriation allotted to the
department to be expended at the
! secretary's discretion.
As to tbe result of the luvestlga- 1
tlon conducted by the department In |
1 1904, which Mr. Denby says wits nev
er known outside of the department,!
the former chief clerk teproted:
"How far |he alleged lrergularlty
jln the use of the partlculfir-fund In
question were within the knowledge
of Secretary Hay could not be ascer
tained, as he died In 1905, In which
Syear also Mr. Michael went as consul
to Calcutta.. Such practices were not
Continued under Secretary Root, but
reports were brought to my. knowl
edge while chief clerk that the prac
tice had existed.
"In view of the entire lack of re
liable proof of misappropriation of
funds, the inevitable unpleasant crit
icism of the administration of an
honeet man, which would result In
public action, the incident was passed
over, and no official action was tak
en."
Mr. Morrison explained to the com
mittee further that on the day he
paid the 9t,4?0 In cash to former
Chief Clerk Michael, on June 18,
1904, he had ordered his cletk to
Insert tbe words "two hundred and
fifty gpllahs" In the printed voucher,
and that half an hour afterward he
had paid the money to Michael he
Inquired what the payment was for,
?and was tokl la Michael's office that
I It was for Day's portrait, f
Notations on the back,' which ap
peared later, referring to emergency
payments of diplomatic bustnees,
Mr. Morrison declared were met on
the voucher that day. /

bill, was-lbst by -a vote of 189 to 118.
Jlepreaentatlve Underwood, chaif-|
manof the ways and means commit
tee in charge of the bill, kept his
forces well together in their oppo
sition to all amendments. While
tome democrats proposed amend
ments with one exceptfoh, they voted
with the psrty when the bill came to
its passage.
Representative Gray, of Indiana,
offered an amendment to place raw
wool on the free list, Insteid of 20
per cent ad valorem as the bill pro
vides. and to recommit the bill to
the oommittee with instruction that
manufactures would be reduoed to
20 per cent ad valorem. This was
lost.
Representative Murdock, one of
the insurgent republicans, who Anal
ly voted for the bill, proposed sever

was to give the American people pro

Washington, June 22. ? Why has

While thj^^^stlon haa not as yet
been deflnitBNfftnswered. the house
Investigating committees are bring
ing out testlmonfe which tends to
throw light on the subject at least
to the end of showing that the great
trusts of the country have at some
time or another had most of the
government prosecutors on their pay
-rolls.
United 8tates Attorney General
Wickersham heads the list. Under
oath he admitted that the last thing
he did before * taking charge of the
prosecuting machinery of the nation
was to draw down his share of a $26,
000 fee from the sugar trust as a
meifi?#r of the New York law firm
of Strong and Cadwallader.
Henry P. Taft a brother of the
president, is still' a member of this
firm whose speciality is to show the
sugar trust and other great*. Indus
trial corporations"hotr to evade the
law and escape prosecution.
That Frank B. Kellogg, special
counsel to the United 8tates and
widely advertised by the republicans
as the great trust buster, has receiv-j
Injm^the^
government at the same time fhfct he1
was receiving big fees for acting as
attorney for subsidiary concerns of
the str>el trust, was deroloped in tes
timony before the Stanley commu
te?. ?
It ar pears that Mr. Kellogg, besid
es pocketing the $30,000 recently
pale him by the government for serv
ing a8 "trust buster" under Roose
velt, also received from the stee!
trust $15,000 as extra compensation
for legal services rendered their cor
porations.
On Oct. 29, 1907, Mr. Kellogg was
proven by his own testimony and doc
umentary evidence is possesion of the
committee to have received a second
$15,000, for extra services.
Thesd, sums were received by him
In addlt^m to the regular salary re
ceived by his firm from the trusts
for many years past, and the last
payment was made In the midst of
the panic and only two or three days
before the famous confer^jxce of Gray
and H. C. Frlck (ruling spirits of
steel trust, with President Roosevelt,
whereby they gained the permission
of tho ''president to commit criminal
violation of the laws of the United
States by absorbing the Tennetse
Coal, Iron & Rallway??ompanv, there
by exterminating their principal com
petitor.
This situation becomes still more
remarkable when It is recalled that
the man who appointed Kellogg ?
Philander C. Knox, now secretary of
state ? waa the man who went from
the employ of the steel trust to the
office of the attorney general and
who refused In 1901 to prosecute the
?teel trust when convincing evidence
of Ita violations of law were laid be
fore him by the anti-trust league.
Bribstow Leads Reactionaries
Senator Brlatow of Kansas, assist
ed by the aolld delegation of 'special
privilege senators, succeeded In tack
ing an amendment to the resolution
providing (or the direct election of
senator*, which greatly endangers
and may defeat that measure.
h Bristow pretended the amendment,
which retains federal control over
the elections would strengthen the
probability of tte final passage, when
the fact Is Bristow knew, as did ev
ery other senator In the chamber,
that the amendment would
the resolution b y ths nximry three
fourths of ths iutM

name used by Sutherland of Utah
and the ring of Wall street bucca

The men who worked hardest for
the Brlatow amendment were LorJ
mer of Illinois, Guggenheim of Col
orado, Cummin*, of Iowa, Llppltt of
Rhode Ialand, Clapp of Mlnneaota.
Smoot of Utah and Stephenson of
Wiaconaln.
The Brlatow amendment wis
fought by La Follette, Gronna, Borah
Polndexter and Works, republicans,
and every democrat In the aenate,
save one.
Lloyd a Hard Worker
Victory In the house has brought
hard work and reaponalblllty to the
democratic leaders as well as htfn
ora.
As an' example of the exacting du
ties of a congressman of democratic
faith, take the caBe of Hon. James
T. Lloyd ot the First Missouri dis
trict. Mr. Lloyd la chairman of the
democratic congressional committee
and aa such assumes general super
vlalon of the campaign In every dis
trict In the United States. He la
alao chairman c? the standing com
mittee on acounts and cloaely scrutin
izes every Item of expenditure In the
lower house. r He is alao chairman of ,
the apecial committee on orsnnlzi
tlon, or clerical force, a Job with a
world of detail. In addition to all
these and his onerous duties as a ,
congressman, Mr. Lloyd deliver*
numerous addresses before socletlua, ,
schools, etc., and is always to be
found In his seat when the house Is ,
called to order.
Speaker Clark Against Gag Rule
Speaker Champ Clark is opposed .
to the gag being applied to govern- ,
ment employees. President Taft Is 1
endeavoring to enforce a Roosevelt i
rule which prohibits government em- ]
ployeoB from. giving information ev- ?
en to members of congress. The ]
employees are alao prohibited from ]
calling attention of members to any ,
grievances. Speaker Clark denounc- |
cb thla rule as un-American, and de- 1
dares that he will listen to grlev- *
ancee to employees when they desire 1
to come to him and he defies any- 1
one to Interfere. 1
Bread Traat Ha* Kasy Bailing
A 126,000, dOO bread trust which 1
will operate, to start with In 21 large '
cities, has been formed In New York 1
under the name df the General Bak
ing Company. The alleged object of '
the new octopus is to "educate the '
public to a high standard of qual- \
ity of bread." Inquiry at the offlre 1
of Attorney General Wlckeraham
elicited the Information that abso- 1
lutely nothing was known there of '
the formation of any "bread trust." '
The reply was not unusual, as the 1
Attorney General's office is the last 1
place in Washington to go for Infor- 1
matlon which might be construed to '
admit the existence of any trust.
Taft Will Have Opposition
If the Taft republicans are really
under the Impression that the Pres
ident will have no opposition for a
rencmlantion, tliey are laboring un
der a hallucination.
Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin
is in the field, and progressive repub
lican leaders In practically every
state in the union are working for
La Follette delegates.
"Taft and sure defeat, or La Fol
lette with a chancfr-to win," Is the
battle cry of the La Follette forces.
