held took place tonight Col Roosevelt and his chief lieutenants went over the entire situation to map out a plan of action which It is understood will have a decisive effect in shaping the campaign The conference extended late into the night and those who participated in it said that at present they could make no definite announcement of the plans agreed upon Col Roosevelt recently sent out a call as a result of which there assembled in New York today virtually all of the prominent figures in the movement who could attend Col Rooseyelt met his aids at the home of his cousin West Roosevelt Governors in Attendance Those present were Senator Dixon Col Roosevelts campaign manager William Ward Republican national committeeman from New York Walter Brown chairman of the Republican State central committee of Ohio Gov Hadley of Missouri Gov Glasscock of West Virginia George Perkins Henry Stoddard and Frank A Munsey of New York Al bert Beverldge former United States senator from Indiana Alexander Re veil of Chicago chairman of the Roose velt national committee and Thomas Niedrlnghaus of St Louis This is a gathering of the clan Col Roosevelt Senator Dixon wanted to consult me about any speeches I might I make during the campaign He also wanteds to meet the leaders In the New York and Chicago headquarters i I am not to undertake a long speech making trip We are here to talk over I just where It Is necessary for me to I speak I Col Roosevelt said he was specially desirous of making as few speeches as pos i sible and the situation in various sec I tions was gone over to decide upon the States where It is regarded as essential for the colonel to appear He would give no inkling of the decision reached In view of the apparent importance of this gatnering can you not say something as to its significance he was asked Dixon May Make Statement Not a thing the colonel responded Others who attended were as reticent Senator Dixon although he declined to discuss the meeting gave the impression Letter Given Out Here Answers Charge later Gov HaDdley ald Mlss0uri was for Roosevelt and he was confident a majority of te States delegates would be instructed for the colonel Col Roosevelt said that in the morning he would hold another conference with some of those who attended tonights meeting In a statement given out today at the Roosevelt headquarters Senator Dixon declared that the list of instructed delegates given out by the Taft campaign managers was misleading As a matter of cold facts he said taking the entire list of Southern delegates so far named in Mississippi South Carolina Alabama and Virginia it is my candid belief that today Instead of the 100 delegates claimed by the Taft managers as instructed they do not have I more than 57 For Instance in New Mex i

given out as an answer to a statement by air Houser at Jamestown Dak yesterday that Pinchot knew that Roosevelt not only encouraged but favorable to La Follettes candidacy until it came to appear that it might succeed Mr Gardners letter to Mr Houser declares untrue any statement that CoL Roosevelt urged Senator La Fonette to become a candidate It then goes on to say that Col Roosevelt sent word by Mr Gardner that he did not believe Senator La Follette could win and that he believed Tafts renomlnation would be forced by money and patronage and therefore Col Roosevelt said he did not feel like urging La Follette to go Into a losing fight Other quotations from Mr Gardners letter follow Col Roosevelt had said emphaticaiy that he would not take sides as between candidates or give any candidate a spe clnc Indorsement He said he would in the columns of the Outlook and otherwise do what he could to direct attention to the work accomplished by Senator La Follette in Wisconsin Beyond this he said he could not go Col Roosevelt did not promise that he would not himself become a candidate he was very careful at that and all times to say that he would not bind himself as to his future course by any promise or statements I made this clear to Senator La Follette and the senator to my own knowledge knew at all times that Col Roosevelt regarded himself as free to take any course that he might consider wise Finally I told Senator La Follette that Col Roosevelt agreed that if Senator La Follette proposed to undertake a campaign for the nomination with the quite certain THIES AGAIN FOR

is not a healthy city al though we have at our elbow the extensive laboratories of the government and any number of eminent scientists What we need are inspectors who will diffuse knowledge among Ignorant dairymen prod the lazy ones and ever keep an eye on the elusive milkman If we paid one tenth of the attention to our milk supply as we do to schedule our lot would be far more cheerful Dr Lumsden past assistant surgeon of the public health and marine hospital service said The milk supply of the District of Columbia is obtained from about 1000 farms located In Maryland and Virginia States in which typhoid fever is highly prevalent According to my observations the sanitary conditions on the average farm supplying Washington with milk are far from satisfactory Whin the milk from the farm reaches the dairy in the city it again is exposed to the danger of becoming contaminated by unclean fingers flies and dust At many of the small grocery stores In Washington the methods of handling milk are dangerous In a number of Instances I found typhoid patients in rooms Immediately back of stores The hands that nursed the sick handled the milk and no efficient disinfection was carried out in the sick room Solution for the Evil The only practical measure at the present time for the prevention of the dissemination of typhoid infection by the citys milk supply is offered by pasteurization The heating of milk to 140 degrees Fahrenheit for twenty minutes will kill all disease producing germs likely to cause infection Resolutions were adopted at the meeting declaring that it Is unsafe to drink raw milk because It often contains disease germs that milk served or sold in restaurants hotels hospitals or childrens homes the character of which is beyond the control of the individual consumer should be properly pasteurized and that Congress be urged to pass a bill to protect public health in the District by regulating the production and sale of milk cream and ice cream
