Franke Responding to a pathetic appeal from his wife and sister, Assistant Superintendent of Police O'Leary directed the detectives yesterday to make a thorough search for John E. Franke, an employe of the Metropolitan Safe Company, Xew York, who mysteriously disappeared from that city two weeks ago. In a search that they made Frankc's wife and sister learned that he had planned to come to this city.

Prion to leaving home Franke had an expressman take four trunks, filled with personal effects, to the Jersey City Station. His sister, following information that she received, traced the trunks to this city. They reached Broad Street Station and were apparently taken from there by the direction of the missing man. In her effort to find her brother, the sister sought the assistance of the express company, who furnished her with the address of every house to which trunks were delivered in this city on the day the missing man is supposed to have come here. She visited each address without obtaining any clue as to her brother's whereabouts.

For a time she was confident of locating him on Federal street, where three or four trunks were delivered, but information at the house was denied her. "hether he is there or not is a question for the detectives to determine. Wife Makes Appeal Returning to Xew York the sister told Mrs. Franke of the investigation she had made. The grieved wife then wrote to Assistant Superintendent Loary urging him to carry on the search.

"I am heart-broken over my husband's disap-pearenee," she wrote, "and I will be grateful to you and your officers if you will aid me in locating him." It was learned that Franke, before leaving home, handed his sister $200. "Take this, as it may be needed later on," he said, in persuading her to accept the money. xAside from this Franke did not give any intimation of his intention to leave home. He had a good position ith a safe company and was well thought of by his employers, who, like his wife and 6ister, cannot account for his absence. Franke is 45 years old and lived with his wife at 3 East Fourteenth street, Xew York.

In replying to the grieved wife's request Assistant Superintendent O'Leary informed her that everything possible would be done to locate her husband. Detective Allmendiner was placed in charge of the investigation and a canvass of the entire city will be made under the supervision of Captain of Detectives Gallagher. PRESIDENT TAFT TO KEEP HIS CABINET ON THE GO Will Have Heads of the Various Making Frequent Tours of Inspection WASIIIXGTOX, March 13. If President Taft's present desires are carried out his advisers soon will become known as "the traveling Cabinet." Experience has taught the new Chief Executive that first hand information is the best and he will have each of the heads of the various departments of the government make frequent tours of inspection. Secretary of War Dickinson will make an early visit to the Isthmus of Panama to inspect the canal.

Secretary of Interior Ballinger will go to Alaska to investigate conditions in that territory, particularly in regard to public land3. Secretary of the Xavy Meyer probably will visit the various navy yards of the country to acquaint himself with existing local conditions. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson expects to visit the various State experiment stations this summer, also inspecting the packing houses in the West. Just what program Mr. Taft has outlined for Postmaster General Hitchcock, Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh, Attorney General Wickersham.

Secretary of State Knox and Secretary of Commerce and Labor Xagel, is not now known, but the Xation's energetic "traveling man President," as he has been called, doubtless will in some way keep all of them moving. FORAKER OUT OF OFFICE SOVEREIGN CITIZEN NOW Former Senator Says He Hopes to Make Presidents and Senators "Toe the Mark" COLUMBUS, March 13 Former Senator Joseph B. Foraker was the guest of honor at a banquet last night at the Xeil House. Although he said he regarded the occasion as purely social, he took occasion to say that he was out of office to stay; that henceforth he was not to be a servant of the public, but a sovereign citizen- -He expected to help make Presidents and Senators and to see that they toed the mark. There was only one other reference to the future and then he said: "As surely as a substantial cut is made in the tariff there will be a continuation of business depression and it will -take all the harmony you have to make this State go Republican.

Let us not have the Republican ham strung by a-lot of sentimental free traders." FIVE CENTS EXPERTS RECOUNT LESSOIS CONVEYED BY PLAGUE EXHIBIT Warn Against Little Knowledge and Half-Told Truths ENEMY'S WEAKNESS HAS BEEN LEARNED Methods Employed in Tuberculosis Class Maintained by Local Church Are Described Eleven hundred school children j-ester-day handed in their essays in the last competition in the International Tuberculosis Exhibition. Swarthmore and Haverford Colleges were chiefly interested in the afternoon program. Dr. Spencer Trotter, Professor of Biology at Swarthmore, spoke of the fishermen in Maine, declaring tbey did not contract tuberculosis, but the women living in the Ehacks in which the sashes could net be lifted did. Last night Chief James F.

McLaughlin, of the Electrical Bureau, presided, and Drs. F. A. Craig and J. Clinton Foltz were the speakers.

Dr. Folz Eaid: "The exhibition is drawing to a close and we hope that those who have come here have not gained anything but good. There is a danger in a little knowledge, and a half-told truth is worse than an absolute misstatement. Leave Fear Behind "Those who have entered here and rightly learned their lesson should have left fear far behind. Only perfect knowledge casts out fear, and we hope that we have told you the weak points of your enemy.

We know now where he lives, how he lives, how he fights, so we know where to find him, how to kill him, and how to outwit him. Without the knowledge of your danger you cannot avoid it, but, knowing what to guard against, you can so order your lives as to defy this enemy. "We hope that we have shown yon that it worth while to rise in your might and stamp him out. We also hope we have impressed you with the simplicity and reasonableness of the methods. Tlie gist of the whole thing is cleanliness, even daintiness, in every relation of life, purity of fcod, and in this relation the stamping out of the disease in animals.

This latter, if not for our own sake, for that of the animal and also as a method of economy. They must be treated in the same way by clean barns and pastures in place of the filthy quarter where many farmers hate been keeping them. Cleanliness in the air we breathe, for only dirty air will carry the disease, and cold air never gave a cold except in the sense that the momentary depression allowed the spouting of th? seed already planted. Where there are no germs there can be no disease, and an epidemic of wheat in a field is no more likely than an epidemic of influenza, unless the seed is planted. Clean living, clean eating, clean breathing and clean thinking defy disease.

May Attack Any Organ "It is to be hoped that those who have come here during the last month have learned the lesson that tuberculosis can attack any organ of the body and not only the lungs. In children, who are frequently infected through the milk, the infection takes the form of meningitis, glandular involvement, skin infections or too frequently bone involvement, known as Pott's disease or hip-joint disease, Continued on Sd Page, 6th Column WILL DEDICATE CHURCH Bishop Hamilton Will Officiate This Morning- at Simpson Memorial Interesting services, which will continue throughout the week, will mark the dedication of the remodeled Simpson Memorial Church, at Kensington avenue and Monmouth street, this morning.

NEW YORK, March 13. Miss An-ette Kellerman, the beautiful young Australian girl, -whose swimming and div- feats have been the star feature of number of vaudeville theatres in Xew ork and Brooklyn of late, vigorously enie3 the imputations against her in he complaint of Mrs. Herbert Pattee, Boston, in Mrs. Pattee's suit for di-orce in the Superior Court, Boston.

Mrs. Pattee's complaint averred that attee used to sit for hours in the kitch- of their home, at Revere Beach, drink- lg beer and eating crackers with Miss vellerman, and alleged further that her osbahd had insisted that Miss Keller-nan shouid live in the same house with hem in Boston.

Hamilton, D. Will Preside and Prominent Clergymen Will Make Addresses Investigation of the cause of so many persons being unemployed is likely to become a leading question of the one hundred and twenty-second annual session of the Philadelphia Methodist Conference, which will open in the Tioga Church, Seventeenth and Tioga streets, on Tuesday with Bishop John W. Hamilton, 1. LL.

presiding. Distin guished Methodist leaders yesterday pointed to the advanced position of the Methodist General Conference on the labor question. When the conference of the Churches of Christ in America adopted its platform on "social problems," Rev. Lyman Abbott declared that it was the first declaration of the position taken by any church. Bishop'Hamilton thereupon called attention to the action which had been taken by the Methodist General Conference.

That declaration, upon which the Philadelphia Conference this week will likely proceed to investigate the present conditions of employment, the extent of unemployment, the cause and remedy, is as follows: Conference's Position "The Methodist Church stands 'Tor equal rights and complete justice for all men in all stations of life. "For the principle of conciliation and arbitration industrial dissensions. "For the protection of the worker from dangerous machinery, occupational disease, injuries and mortality. "For the abolition of child labor. "For such regulation of the conditions of labor for women as shall safeguard the physical and moral health of the community.

"For the suppression of the sweating system. "For the general and reasonable reduction of the hours of labor to the lowest practicable point, with work for all, and for that degree of leisure for all, which is the condition of the highest human life. "For a release from employment one day in seven. "For a living wage in every industry. "For the highest wage that each industry can afford, and for the most equitable division of the products of industry that can ultimately be devised.

"Our church does not fail to recognize the greatness of its own opportunity in the present crisis and the consequent urgency of its duty. "We are gratified by the growth of the spirit of conciliation and the practice of conference and arbitration in adjusting trade disputes, and we trust that these methods may increasingly supplant those of strikes and lock-outs with attendant boycotts and blacklistings. "We declare our cordial fraternal interest in the aspirations of the laboring classes and our desire to assist them in righting every wrong and the attainment of their highest well being. ''We recognize that' the fundamental purposes of the labor movement are essentially ethical. "We recognize the gravity of the social situation and the responsibility of the church for bringing about better conditions." Oppose Costly Buildings The problem of the dozen churches that are left in the flood of immigration below Market street and east of the Schuylkill River will come before the conference crying louder than ever for solution.

All agree that the crisis is at hand and the conference may favor placing all those churches in a missionary field and supporting them from the Board of Home Missions. A grave question has arisen in the conference about the tendency to erect im-posin- church arenitecture, and it was even suggested that the conference might place a limit upon the cost of structures. The plans of Wharton Church, in Southwest Philadelphia, to cost $100,000, with a debt of $50,000 remaining, was mentioned as an illustration. Many believe that the undertaking of plans too large, the imitation of other denominations that have magnificent church edifices, has become a burden upon the spiritual work. Week's Prosra-ni Rev.

Charles M. Boswell, as for twelve years pat, will conduct the evangelistic services of the conference. The anniversary of the Philadelphia Conference Historical Society will be held on March 10. An address will be delivered by Dr. John F.

Moors Declares Abolishing of Primaries Will Make Voting Easier Details of the new charter for Boston by the Boston Finance Commission, composed of seven non-political men, were yesterdav afternoon related to the members of the City Club at the regular Saturday luncheon by John F. Moors. Mr. Moors, who is a stock broker, was at the head of the commission. "Boston now faces the greatest political contest in its history," said Mr.

Moors. "It will be a campaign of calumny and misrepresentation and will be vigorously waged between now and next Xovemocr." He declared the new charter recommended the abolition of primaries. "The primary laws," he continued, "though highly respected outside of the State, have eliminated all power to conceive and assert party principles, have forced citizens to the discomforts of two elections, and have limited voters at the earlier election to a choice within their own party, when they might desire to support a candidate of the other party." Speaking on the sumect of political parties and ballots, as outlined in the charter, Mr. Moors said. "Enlightenment for the voters is to come through the reduction of the names annually on the ballots, so that the individual qualifications of each may be known, through abolition of party names on the ballots, so that local issues may become paramount and not be submerged under party regularity, through the creation of a permanent Finance Commission (to be appointed by the Governor), so that the lid may alwas-s be off the transactions of the city government, through giving the new City Council the right to summon the Mayor and heads of departments before it, to explain or defend their actions, through the publication of a city record, in which the acts of the city government shall be printed, new appointment recorded, and in which one can find the contracts into whtch the citv desires to enter." Powell jivans presided at the luncheon.

I. 1 Coast Next CITY'S NUBILITY II ACCfDEWT CASES DEFIED BY JUD6E Court Rules Against Damages If Victim Was Negligent JUDGE BREGY GIVES LONG CHARGE TO JURY There is but one way out of four that a person can recover money from the city for injuries received from falling upon an icy pavement, according to Judge Bregy, who last week heard the case of Mary Winlock in Common Pleas Court Xo. 1. Growing out of a fall sustained while returning from church on February 10, 1007, the woman brought suit against the city to recover money for her injuries.

The fall occurred at the mouth of an alley on Twentieth street, between Pemberton and Locust streets. After reciting the events of the case, referring to "snow and ice cases" and "negligent accident caes" in general, Judge Brcgy said to the jury: The Judge's Cbargre "What the law calls negligence is practically the same thing that in ordinary language we speak of as fault whose fault is it? Was it the fault of the person who sues? Xegiisence and fault are very much the same thing as carelessness, all amounting to this: Has the person sued or the that fues done his duty? A man that does his duty or the woman who does her duty, of course, is at no fault, is guilty of no carelessness, and is guilty of no negligence. And, therefore, the first investigation to be made by the jury is has the person done his duty? "Let me call your attention to tlie fact that an accident may happen in one of three or four ways. An accident may happen when nobody is at fault. It may be an accident which one is powerless to prevent and nobody is to blame.

An accident may happen when the plaintiff is at fault and the defendant is not to blame. An accident may happen when the plaintiff is not at fault but where the defendant alone is to blame. And an accident may happen where they are both to blame. "So out of these four different ways that an accident may happen there i3 one way of the four that would entitle the plaintiff to recover, that is where the accident happens through the fault negligence of the defendant alone. The plaintiff, of course, you understand, is the person that sues.

Defines Liability "If an accident happens through the negligence of the defendant alone, there being no negligence or carelessness on the part of the plaintiff, then the plaintiff is entitled to a verdict. But if an accident happens where the plaintiff is at fault alone, then there ought to be no verdict for the plaintiff if it is his Lfault. If an accident happens where both sides are to blame, wnere botli tne plaintiff and the defendant are at fault, then there cannot be a verdict for the plaintiff. And if an accident happens when nobody is at fault or to blame then the verdict cannot be for the plaintiff. "So, therefore, unless you, are satisfied from the evidence, after you consider it all, that the thing that caused the accident was the negligence of the defendant, ths defendant and that there was no negligence on the part of the plaintiff; unless you are satisfied of that, 3'ou cannot give a verdict for the plaintiff.

"Anything else entitles the defendant to a verdict, because, according to the law of Pennsylvania, the plaintiff must show that the accident happened through the negligence of the defendant, and that the plaintiff was not guilty of anything at all to cause the accident." After hearing the charge the jury brought in a verdict exonerating the city from all blame in the case.

Work on the elaborate buildings that will house the exhibits from the Philippines, Hawaii and Alaska, is being rushed by an army of workmen. The government's forestry building is still in course of construction, but so nearly complete that its striking proportions, particularly its pergola of gigantic fir trees, is in full view. A large corps of landscape gardeners BURGLARS LOCKDQQR 10 WORK AT LEISURE Home of City Official Entered by Thieves Who Prevent Capture by Fixing Fastening Burglars barred Mrs. Alexander D. Lauer, wife of Assistant City Solicitor Lauer, from her home, 1H50 North Eleventh street, on Friday while they plied their trade.

Returning home at half-past 0 o'clock from the Hahnemann Hospital, where she had visited her husband, who is recovering from an operation, Mrs. Lauer was unable to open the front door, the lock having been tampered with on the inside. Unable to account for the failure of the lock to respond to the key she went to the residence of relatives and told them of her predicament. They returned with her to the bouse and an entrance was gained. It was discovered that burglars had ransacked the house.

The robbers were evidently in the house searching for plunder when Mrs. Lauer returned from the hospital and had escaped by the rear entrance while she was trying to open the front door. The thieves were foiled in their effort to secure valuables, as the family had taken the precaution to remove most of the silverware and all their jewelry from the house when it was discovered necessary for Mr. Lauer to go to the hospital for treatment.
