Sister Rita "BANANA KING," Railway Builder, Dies. General Leprosy Beliefs Are Just "Bunk," Dr. E. 0. Denney Informs Medical Alumni; Prolonged Contact Needed For Contagion "The installation of the latest scientific instruments has made the equipment of the seismographlc station as good and as complete as the science of seismology can make a station at the present time.

Our station is now an active and progressive unit in a large cooperative system for observing earthquakes throughout the world. It takes part in an International, national and local program of seismographlc research. The station has been commended for its work by learned so moogra oil has been employed as a cure. This later was abandoned by medical men, but revived 40 years ago. and now is used both in the crude and refined states.

Dr. Denney believes that the crude oil, although It Is usually injected rather than taken through the mouth, still is the most effective. "However, If we discharge five per cent of our patients at the end of each year, we believe we have done extremely well," he added. "The number Is so small because our standards probably are more rigid than those of any other colony. When we release a patient as cured, he is cured.

"The National Leprosarium at Car-vllle is tho only leper colony in the United States. It Is situated in sharp crook of the Mississippi Klvcr, 100 miles north of New Orleans ana 25 miles south of Baton Rouse, and Is surrounded on three sides by water. Only access to the mainland Is Kalned through the narrow neck formed by the river, a mile and one-half wide. "Three hundred lepers are under surveillance at tho station, which is equipped to accommodate 500. Every possible convenience Is provided for patients who are not bedridden.

They live In separate rooms In cottages accommodating 12, and are permitted to go about the 400-acre tract at will. The rooms are large and well ventilated. "Entertainment is provided In various ways. In the auditorium, which is "the headquarters for the What Cheer Club, the beat moving picture films available are shown four times weekly. There are other types of shows and dances at Intervals.

Each dwelling house Is provided with a radio and loud speaker. "An Interesting feature Is the problem of marriage. It has been determined that leprosy Is not hereditary, and that the disease Is trans time of contraction of the disease to death, is 14 years. Tracing briefly the history of leprosy in the New World, Dr. Denney recalled that there was no pre-Columbian leprosy on the two American continents.

The first known case of Importance was that of Gonzalo Jim-encx de Quesada, founder of Bogota, capital of Colombia, who died In the world's first leprosarium In Colombia. Leprosy, he said, found its way into the United States through two channels: the early settlers, or slaves imported from Africa or the West Indies. The first known case In the United States was at New Orleans In 1785. "Although the disease at the present time Is more prevalent amonir the dark-skinned races, this la because sanitary conditions are worse among theso races, und not because one race is more addicted Inherently than another," he declared. "Although it will require generations to stamp out leprosy entirely, much is to be expected from modern experimental and research leper colonies.

At Carvllle the staff Includes three regular full-time physicians, one regular full-time dental surgeon, and expert consulting dermatologists, bone specialists, oculists and neuropsychl-atrlsts from Tulane University, New Orleans. "A staff of four Is maintained permanently to do nothing hut research Into the cautics, symptoms and treatment of the disease. "All nurses are of the Catholic Older of Slaters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. There is a Protestant Church and a Catholic Chapel, with a chaplain for each." The College of Medicine Alumni elected Dr.

Parke G. Smith President for the coming year. Dr. Henry Brown, King's Mills, was elected Vice President, and Dr. Helen Ratterman.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE irKCIAI. DISPATCH TO IRS K.NQClSta. New York, Juno 14 The feature of the Foreign Exchange market was the announcement of a shipment of gold from Canada to the Hank of Montreal, resulting from a break In Canadian dollar discount In New York to lo-ia per cent on Thursday, new low not previously touched since April 19. The resumption of shipments of the yellow metal from the Dominion Is expected and It Is believed the tacit embargo, which has been In force since last Fubruary. lih been lifted in an effort to raise the Canadian rate to par.

TRUE LOYALTY NEED Of Graduate In Pursuit Of Virtues, Archbishop Says. Archbishop John T. McNIcholas, O. who attended St. Xavier commencement exercises, spoke briefly on the Importance of college education and the support of the institutions affording higher education.

He stressed the necessity of religious training not only In the grades and in the high schools, but in the college and university. The Archbishop congratulated mem bers of the class for their persver ance during their coHegre days and cited that their greatest opportun itles for using the fruits of their education will come in the adherence to the manly principles that make for a virile, influential laity. "The necessity of maintenance of true loyalty to oni's teachers, to one's college, to one's self and to one faith stipulates that the Individual follow the upright and stralghfor ward pursuit of the age-old virtues that are not forgotten despite the numerous modernisms of the day," he said.

Cleveland, June 14 (AP) Attempting to prove his contention that the Cleveland Automobile Club has failed to pay to the Ohio State Automobile Association several thousand dollars In dues, Charles C.

Janes, Secretary of, the State Association, filed a petition in Common I'leas Court today for an Injunction to compel officials of the Cleveland club to submit their books for his inspection. Earlier in the day, the Cleveland club officials refused Janes's request to view the books.

St. Xavier needs more founded scholarships for education of promising students who require the assistance of entirely free or part scholarships to enable them to pursue their college courses. Rev.

Hubert F. Brockman, S. President of the college, said in his annual President's message at the eighty-ninth annual commencement. A new dormitory for out-of-town students, a college chapel, an administration building, an auditorium and a building to house the seismograph station were listed among other current needs of the Institution by Father Brockman In his annual address. Citation of the International recognition received by the college through its new seismograph station was made by Father Brockman, who referred to the vigorous commendation given to the St.

Xavier station at the recent meeting of the International Seismographlc Society at The Hague. "I mentiori first the importance of free scholarships and part scholarships," said Father Brockman in hl.f message. "Excessive demands are made on the college by promising young men for help to see them through college. A fine group of talented young men could be placed on our enrollment tomorrow if such scholarships were established by those who have the means to do It. "The college is In present need of a rew dormitory for out-of-town students, a college chapel, administration building, an auditorium and a seismographlc building.

"I would like to emphasize the need of separate quarters and Instrumental vaults for the seismograph station. Our city will gain tremendously by fostering the adequate operation of the station. Our instrumentation and staffing of the station are equal to any, as was stated at the recent meeting of the International Seismographlc Society at The Hague. Yet it is necessary for rapid and unerring calculation of earthquake shocks and for surer research In this new and significant field separate housing be provided. "On investigation It Is learned that the site of our campus Is admirably suited for such a building.

I am sure that If the value of seismographlc research at this time were fully understood our people would provide such quarters, observers. Is also needed to take care of the station and to continue on Its staff trained scientists and obsrvers. "A fund Is also needed for the publication of bulletins of the findings of the station, the publication of reports and results of investigation. Such publications by our station are now being sent to every part of tho world." In his conspectus of the year reviewing the work of the college. Father Brockman said that the scientific departments of the college have expanded in a manner requiring special note.

"Some there are, of course, who seo nothing but the spots on 'the sun, others who live in the shadows of life, but these are not of the faith of our fathers who visualized In those early pioneer days the greatness and magnitude of an undeveloped country, which was to be and which now Span Of Life Increased. "The span of life itself has been increased some 20 years in the brief period of a generation, due to the great developments made in medical science and the specialized fields of research which they have developed for the benefit of humanity. "This remarkable progress of the human race has been brought about largely through the efforts of specialists self-sacrificing souls who have wrought achievement through service and tireless effort. The joy of life is found In living the greatest number of good hours filled with useful pursuits.

"The gospel of patient toll with its many advantages is not left out of any educational program. Success is at the top of a hard, long, laborious climb. There is no such thing as drifting to an assured destination on life's Success, we are told, is the product of foreknowledge and preparation. "Individual talents are now to be put to the test courage and faith are called upon the stuff of which we are made is to make the answer the shield is removed the serious business of life is at hand but you will not fall the future beckons an allurement toward the heights-preparation has given you vision, and with undaunted courage, obstacles will give way to a better day because in you is the will and determination to win. 'The gold In the rocks is still there, but In America it is discoverable only to seeing eyes each new day launches us on a sea of new experiences education to be of value must of necessity be a matter of growth and continuing development.

Education Is Continuous. "If education were simply to mean a finished course In high school or a university and stop at that, we should. I fear, find the effort scarcely worth the trouble taken, "It is only by keeping; in touch with those things which make for continued enlightment, development and growth that we are directed to the better viewpoint and given assurance of worth to the Individual, and to society as a whole. "Favored Is the young man or young woman in this, the most challenging time In all human history, who takes his place fortified with a good education. An education is a great shock-absorber on life's highway.

It meets and overcomes difficulties. "It challenges the reason and stirs the imagination, and thus we are led to world transformation. "The world Is looking for leadership, for responsibility of a high order, for Integrity, for character, at never before, and these things it will have, pushing aside all other considerations. "Opportunities are beckoning on every hand, but they are beckoning to the man who is prepared to carry responsibility. "This is a day when a man who knows Is in demand, and so challenging are the responsibilities of the hour that the conservancy human values Is paramount to every other In Presence Of Governor, Shares Honors.

Governor Is Lauded, Introducing Governor Cooper, Father Brockman said: "Last year new honors and distinction came to a devoted friend of this college. It is the greatest pleasure for me to present the, speaker of the evening, Governor Myers Y. Cooper." Governor Cooper urged the graduates and the audience to be "conscious of our opportunities and with the highest resolve that each one of us in his place, shall with tireless effort meet the responsibilities of life in the. hope that so doing eacn may perform properly his part in the development of the Divine plan, for humanity."

In this there lies the real value of an education. Optimistic Outlook Justified, VI want to develop, If I may. during the brief time that I shall talk tn this graduating class, some practical thoughts in connection with responsibilities of life and some reasons which I hold for an optimistic outlook on life.

It is a truism to say thafyouth is the heir to all the ages. "Patriotism has made Its sacrifice that life may be enjoyed more abundantly. "Wisdom has left Its book at the open page for ready perusal. "Progress has revealed In the clear noon of day the traveled, tortorons road to success. f'All about us are srreat storehouses, filled with lore and learning for tho benefit and well-being of this and future generations.

"Our day has been described as the ge of steam, the age of power and of jrr.eat responsibility, but If the responsibilities of the hour are great It is equally true that 'there is greater fortification to meet these demands.

Financed Two Central American Republics In Connection With Own Operations. Babylon, Long; Island, New Tork, June 14 (AP) Minor Cooper Keith, capitalist, known as the "Banana King," died at his home today, tl years old.

He was the founder of the United Fruit Company. Notwithstanding his advanced age, Mr. Keith was active in his business affairs until a few days ago, Mr. Keith, who became First Vic President of the United Fruit Com pany upon its organization, resigned from that post 10 years ago to devote his attention to other interests. He was Chairman of the Board of Directors of the International Bail' ways and President of the St.

Andrews Railroad in Florida. Born in Brooklyn, January 19, 1848. son of Minor Hubbell and Emily (Meiggs) Keith, he was educated in private schools and at 16 started to cam a living in a store on Broadway, New York City, at a wage of $3 week. After a few months he became a lumber surveyor. His father had been in the lumber business, so he took to it naturally, and his first year netted him $3,000.

In 1870 he sold his lumber business to go into cattle raising in Texas, on an uninhabited Island at the mouth of the Rio Grande. Within two years In this lonely spot, young Keith built up a ranch with 4,000 cattle and 2.000 hogs. In 1871 he received a letter from his brother, Henry Meiggs Keith, to Join him In building- a railway In Costa Rica. He accepted the invitation and Joined his brother In that country. In fever-ridden, jungle country, Mr.

Keith and his brother began building a railway from Puerto Limon, on ths Atlantic, to San Jose, capital of Costa Itlca, on the Pacific. The contract for the railway had been turned over to his brother by an uncle, Henry Meiggs, builder of the first railroad across the Andes. Terrible dangers beset the enterprise and the first 25 miles cost tha lives of 4,000 men, as well as the lives of Mr. Keith's three brothers. Then the Costa Rican Governrr.ott found itself unable to furnish further funds.

Notwithstanding this. Mr. Keith con tinued building the railway on his own credit for several years, and in 1882 made a new contract with the Government to arrange Its external debt, and also to complete the railway to San Jose. After three years' residence in London he succeeded in arranging Costa Rica's external debt and bonds to complete the railway. Mr.

Keith learned of banana raising possibilities of Central America, and in 1872 started tho first banana plantation in Central America making; his first shipments to New Orleans. In time he acquired a fleet of steamships to transport his fruit, and by 18D8, after 27 years In Costa Rica, controlled the industry. In 1899, with the late Andrew W. Preston, New England banana king, he) organized the United Fruit Company. The most Important business In re cent years with which Mr.

Keith, has been connected was the financing- of the Republic of Salvador by his ganlzation the International Railways of Central America. On October 31. 1883. Mr. Keith mar- ried.

Leprosy In extreme cases Is a hideoiu disease, but most of the beliefs about that have grown up in the public mind through centuries ol ignorance are Just "bunk." This was said by Dr. E.

O. Denney, surgeon In charge of the National Lepro-sorium at Carville, yesterday. Last night Dr. Denpey, who probably knows more about the dread disease than any other living medical man, gave nn illustrated technical talk on the symptoms and treatment of leprosy at the annual meeting of the alum.il of the College of Medicine, University of Cincinnati, in the Hotel Gibson. "There are some disgusting cases," Dr.

Denney said, "but most of the patients' could be passed on the street without arresting attention. Feet and hands of victims do not suddenly fall off. Although the disease Is believed to have been contracted in a few Instances by momentary contact, such cases are anomalies. Contagion, as far as may he determined, results only from Intimate and prolonged contact. "Thus, with ordinary medical caro, such as Is practised with tuberculosis, amounting largely to plenty of soap and water and in extreme) cases rubber gloves, there Is little dnnger of attendants contracting the scourge," Dr.

Denney said. "There have been notable exceptions, such as Father Damlen, of Hawaii, who died of the disease he was treating, and several nuns who were In such constant contact with patients that they became themselves affected. "Biblical writers, upon whose accounts popular belief is based largely, undoubtedly confused other diseases about which they knew nothing with leprosy. What now Is known as psoriasis, a distinct skin malady, was known for long as 'white "Medical men of today still know little about leprosy. They have, however, cleared away most of the fallacious beliefs about Its effects.

Hansen, the Norwegian, discovered the germ in 1874, but Just how this germ is carried remains to be discovered. "As for the cure, progress has been made and will continue to be made In the future.

"The new Biology Building, gift of an undisclosed donor, will be completed and equipped for the fall term. It contains two larse laboratories, several smaller laboratories, three private research laboratories and offices for the head of the department and professors. A laboratory for advanced students, lecture and projecting rooms and a departmental library.

The instrumental equipment will meet the exacting needs of the modern courses in biology. "May I now pause and pay tribute to the princely generosity of the donor of this building, to his sense of the need, in these days of tho most modern and scientific provision for biological courses, to his appreciation of the Importance of biology in modern college curricula. May I not also express the high gratitude of the faculty and students and friends of the college, as well as of the people of Cincinnati, to this patron of science and learning. "The opening of the Biology Building allows a proportionate development of the chemistry department, the largest of the Bclence departments of the college at present time In point of student registration. The Alumni Science Hall on the campus Is being turned over for advanced courses in chemistry and for new research laboratories." Father Brockman also commented that the college has had a very satisfactory and successful scholastic year, and cited the scholastic honors won by students and professors.

Speaking of the law department, Father Brockman paid a tribute to this school's dean and faculty and others Interested In the general development of this department. He cited that two full-time professors and 6,000 volumes have been added during the last year. He also paid tribute to the student body and faculty of the School of Commerce for work done in that department. Among the accomplishments of the last year he said that tho college has rebuilt the Union House, completed the stadium and has the Biology Building almost completed. Father Brockman also took occasion to pay a memorial tribute to the late Rev.

Francis J. Finn, S. a member of the Board of Trustees, who died last November, "Educator, author, civic leader, lover of the poor and philanthropist In the highest sense of the word, a true priest of God, he was beloved by all, the faculty, student body and his fellow citizens. He served St. Xavier and the people of Cincinnati for more than a quarter century." consideration, to meet the requirements of humankind.

"Unpreparedncss is the greatest tragedy of life. "Its toll is taken in priceless time and its compensation is in unrewarded effort. "Anything worth having Is worth fighting for, and worth fighting to maintain. "If the institutions of America are to be preserved, if the torch of Liberty is not to be extinguished, then there must be a thorough recognition on the part of the young men and women of this nation, of their individual responsibility as the custodians of so great a heritage as that which has come to them through the tears and sacrifices of a mighty and purposeful past. "So, ladies and gentlemen, we congratulate this class of young men and young women on this very happy event and oxt the possibilities for the development of their lives Into lives of greater usefulness because of the preparation that they have here made."

Just at present there is much talk of consolidations of commission nous a and scmng agencies handling mill accounts of varlouti aorts.

Intensive style competition persists In printed lines, but it Is very obvious that printers and converters are using much more discretion In the matter of production. It Is for this reason that buyers now complain of a surplus of styles who formerly rejoiced that at this season they were able to come Into the market and make holiday with prices for highly styled goods that had accumulntcd ahead of demand. The percale situation Is not a hit healthy and buyers of wash gooAs are not getting the yardages thrown at them at their own price as was formerly the case. Very large burlap shipments have chsr-acterlzed the trade for the past six months and It now appears aa If the total Imports for 1929 may run over a billion yards.

i. utters or cotton dresses who competed mercilessly with each other to secure some large chain store and catalog house orders have had a change of heart concerning the best methods of doing business, even In a year when demand is all In their favor. Some of them declare that they have ceased flirting with the mass pro-durtlon Idea In their huslness and are now bent on policies of securing a profit from what they make. In a measure they have been working along the lines of manv cloth producers who have hold huge yardage and not made a cent of profit.
