WAS FORMERLY IN C1NCINNA1 Final arrangements for the convention and exchange of the Tri-State Vehicle and Implement Dealers Association, which begins in L-ouUville on November 12. and which will be held at the Armory, were completed yester day by the Executive Com-mlttee of the organization, which held Several meetings at the Louisville Hotel. Everything is ready now for the installation of the carriages in the buUding, It was said by George W. Young, of Eminence, Ky at -the clcsa of the last meeting last night. The convention of the association will bring" Its L500 members to the city, in addition to from 2.CC0 to 4.000 dealers who come to.

buy for next year, and will fill the Armory as full as it can hold with carriages of ail descriptions. The mooting of the association is in the nature of an exchange. The chief object is to bring the manufacturer and dealer closer into touch and at the same time to give manufacturers an opportunity to display their product and the dealer an opportunity to buy. "I.ouisviile people," said Mr. Young, "do not realize what a big thing the association is.

and will not until it is over. It will bring manufacturers exhibits from all lover the country and buyers from all over this part of the country. It will bring more carriages and implements to the city single samples of each manufacturer's make than can be set up in the Armory, big as it is. We have had to refuse requests for space, and some manufacturers are engaging store rooms to display their exmoits." Open To Public One Wight. Three sessions of the association will be he'd, one on Tuesday morning, one on Wednesday morning and the other on Thursday morning of the week on which tiie association will be In the city.

Three hours on Wednesday, from to 10 p. will be allowed the pub-I lie i view the exhibits in the Armory. I This is contrary to the usual practice of the association, but it was the only way that the Fiscal Court could lot the building be "If Louisville treats the association right," was the way several members of the Executive Committee expressed themselves as to the probability of the association maKing Louisville its permanent meeting place. The association pays its own way, and all that the committee wants to be assured of, it was said last night, is that the hotels will not boost their rates and take advantage of those who come to the city to attend the convention and the exchange. Louisville has the advantage over Cincinnati, where the association has met for the last six years: over Columbus.

and over Indianapolis, because it is what is called a neutral town, there being no large carnage manufacturing plants here. Armory Made Display Building. Although the Kentucky Wagon Works is here, that does not make as much difference as does the presence of a large carriage factory. To get to Louisville all the manufacturers have to ship their displays, while at any of the other three large cities large manufacturers can get the benefit of the meeting of the association and be at little or no cost for the shipping of their displays. All the members of the Executive Committee last night agreed that Louisville in the Armory offers the very best thing in the way of a building for the holding of such an assembly.

The members of the Executive Committee are as follows: George W. Young. Eminence, president of the committee and ex officio chairman; George P. Wagner, Jasper. vice president; W.

N. AHiband, Xichoirs-I ville, treasurer; H. M. Brown, i by ville, secretary; Matt Bean. Winclus-i ter.

Brown, secretary of the Assocla-! tion. has opened headquarters in the Armory, and will maintain them until atter the meeting of the association. There will be three weeks consumed in the Installing, the showing and the removal of the exhibits. One week will be required to set up the exhibits and one after the meeting to remove them.

M. K. ALLEN, CITY" HEALTH OFFICER. Thinks Tuberculosis Hospitals Should Be Burned At Intervals. Dr.

M. K. Allen, Health Officer, is In favor of the plan suggested by Dr. R. B.

Gilbert for a tuberculosis hos- pitai. He said 5-esterday that he did 1 not believe it would be wise for the I city to spend $50,000 or ST5.C00 for a hospital for tubercular patients when within four or five years the building would become so infected that there I would be danger of the patients be-j coming reinfected by tuberculosis, "I am not in favor of erecting any kind of a hospital for tubercular pa- tlents on the grounds of the City Hos- pital building, however," said Dr. Al-jlen. "I think higher ground should be I selected for a hospital for such pa-j tlents. It should be.

sufficiently re-j mote from other habitation to enable the patients to spend most of their time out of doors. It would be well if the patients could be given employment on a farm or in a garden. That would- enable them to get plenty of fresh air, and would keep their minds occupied. sufficient ground for a tuberculosis hospital could be secured that a portion it could be converted into a garden It would be well, whatever Is done, however, I would not advise the expenditure of a big sum cf money "on a In favor of putting up a cheap frame structure that can be burned everv f-ur or five year? without mu losi ta the city. "In sc-me 'cities they use old street cars for housing tubercular patients continued Dr.

Alien. "You can get 1.nc;e cars cheap, place them on an elevated foundation and build a porch around them. In this way they can be made to present a very homelike appearance. They will keep out the rain and will answer the nnmiu in every way." Announcing Death of Judge Abraham Schwaninger. ADVANCES FEOM POOE.

At that date the only-means of reaching Jeffersonville was on an omnibus, the fare being seventy-five cents.

This was nearly a year ago. At lirst he thought the trouble came from a diseased toDth that had been a source of much an noyance to him for nearly ten years.

HE GETS NOTABLE WELCOME IN "ENEMY'S COUNTRY." SPEAKS WORD OF PRAISE FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL. W. J. BRYAN IN WISCONSIN. Plattsburg, X.

Oct. 17. Mr. Hearst's dash into the Republican "North country" began this morning at YVatertown and extended in a long sweep around the northern edge of the Adirondacks through Jefferson, St. Lawrence, Franklin and Clinton counties, to Plattsburg.

The fiijit meeting of the day was held in the railroad yard at Watertown, where from the car platform Mr. Hearst addressed a largo open air audience at the noon hour. Workmen fiocked from the factories to hear the Democratic candidate. He spoke also at Norwood and Ma-lone. At the latter place the station platform was crowded, the throng extending back Into the street and Mr.

Hearst was given a notable welcome. He then proceeded to Plattsburg. In his address iie said: "I do not believe in Government by the New York American, but it is better than the defiance of Government by corporations, and it is better than neglect of duty. "The officials of the New York Central railroad have been dragged into the criminal courts to answer accusations of criminal conspiracy. Evidence was produced to prove that this railroad and others granted illegal rebates to favored customers of the Sugar Trust.

These rebates served to increase the hold of an extortionate trust on the community and helped to crush out competition of that trust. That evidence I furnished to Attorney General Moody, in a series of five afildavits flied in the Attorney General's office in Washington." Mr. Hearst then proceeded to quote at length a statement attributed to United States Attorney General Moody, whom he characterized as "an honest and able Attorney General" in which Mr. Moody gave credit to one of Hearst's New York newspapers for furnishing the Department of Justice with Invaluable information and evidence of rebates between the American Sugar Refining Company and the trunk lines of railroads running out of New York.

Senator Albert J. Beveridge spoke here to-night before a large audience, making- his first political speech In the Indiana campaign. The Senator devoted the most of his address to a discussion of the tariff. He made a plea for a limited, tariff revision. He said there should be changes in some tariff schedules because the conditions those schedules were made to fit have changed and because it would be better to not imperil the whole protective system by putting off admittedly needed chang-es until so many of them accumulated that their combined forces would compel a general revision.

They were Taken to the University Hospital, at Ninth and Chestnut streets, and were attended by Dr. Yandell Roberts, who, after an examination, found that they had sustained scalp wounds and several bruises about their bodies, but nothing more serious. Their condition is not considered critical. Mr. Herman and his wife, who are employed at the Hope Worsted Mills, were returning from their work to their home, at 730 East street.

They were walking along the tracks, seeing an eastbound freight train approaching, they attempted to avoid being struck by crossing to the other track. Unnoticed by them, a passenger train from Lexington, en route to the Tenth-street station, bore down on them.

I NEW DIRECTOR FOR BOARD OF TRADE P. L. ROBINSON SUCCEEDS JAS.

W. KENNEDY. SICKNESS CAN'T SECURE EXTENSION OF EXCURSION TICKETS. FIRST STEEL COACH SOUTH. P.

1j. Robinson, general manager of the Kentucky Wagon "Works C.nnp:i:iy. sterday was elected to the Hoard of Directors of the Board of Trade, to succeed James W. Kenneay, who resigned at the meeting- of the board one week ago yesterday. Mr.

Tlobinson was the unanimous choice of the directors of the organization to the directorate. Choice fell on him not alone because he is litted for the duties of the oflioe, but because he will repi-e- sent the same larpo trade interest in the directorate as that which was rep- iiesented by Mr. Kennedy, he having succeeded Mr. Kennedy as general ruan er of the wagon company. According to the by-laws of the Board of Tiad-: it was necessary to let the resignation be effective one week before a member of the board could be chosen.

At the same meeting of the board yesterday at noon the invitation to s-nJ delegates to the Southern Immigration Congress which will m-et in Nashville, on Xovember 12. 13 and 14, was accepted and E. II. Bowen, president of the Board of Trade instructed to ap- point the delegates. Mr.

Bowen said yesterday afternoon that he wou'd make a personal and particular effort to name delegates who undoubtedly will attend the convention. The open meeting of the Board of Trade at on Saturday for the purpose of considering the bond issue was called at this meeting of the board. NOT EVEN FOE. SICKNESS Will Interstate Commerce Commission Allow Excursion Tickets Extended. The extent to which the Interstate Commerce Commission is applying the terms of the new law and the rUidity with which they are interpreting it are shown clearly in the ruling that has been received in a roundabout way by the local passenger men.

The rule is written by Martin A. TCnapp, chairman nf tne commission, and relates to the emergency extension cf excursion round-trip tickets. The opinion is nd-dressed to J. C. Hortcn, general passenger agent of the Ocean Steamship Company, who had asked for special consideration In a certain case.

acknowledging the receipt of Mr. Norton's communication the ruling of the commission goes on tr say: The commission "is of the opinion that tickets sold at reduced rates to be used within a limited and designated period ought not to be extended becau-e of sickness or other misfortune for which the carrier is In no way responsible. While this may seem a harsh rule. It seems quite plain that a contrary ruling would open the door to evasion and Imposition. There wou'd frequently, if not generally, be no way to determine whether the illness claimed was actual or pretended and, extensions of that account might be St the caprice of the carrier or result in discrimination le-tween persons entitled to 'Jie same treatment.

On the whole, we believe It to be a safer and fairer taile, supported by considerations of public policy, to require limited tickets to be ued within the time fixed and we believe that no great hardships would result from such requirement." Steel Coaches For Southern. It was given out locally yesterday that the first steel passenger coich to be built will be placet: in use on the Southern Railway on one of Its Southern lines in the near future, and that other steel coaches are being constructed for the use of the same company. The cars are built entirely of steel with the exception of the trimmings which will be of fire-proofed wood. The furnishings, of course, will be inflammable to a certain degree. The object sought after is wearing qualities, and strength to resist shocks In case of wrecks.

Experiments will be conducted to see if the steel car could be telescoped In case of a collision. The only disadvantages possessed by the steel cars over the woocen cars now in use. is said to be that or weight, which approximately Is fifteen per cent, in "ALL-PYTHIAN SKIDD00 COMPANY NO. 23."
