ly and now the responsibility rests up
on you to do what you deem neces
ray, recognizing as you doubtless do
that you net not only as tho represen
tatives of the state, dealing with lands
lying within the state, but as tho rep
resentative of a state occupying a
position among her sister states and
sharing with them an interest In and
responsibility for international rela
tions. "You are fortunate In this state In
having tho initiative and referendum.
Tho Initiative spurs you on to do that
which you believo your people want
done, while the referendum empowers
those for whom you speak to put their
vetc upon your acta if you fall to re
flect their wishes. It may be assumed,
therefore, that If you feel It your duty
to enact any legislation on this sub
ject at this time your peoplo will
either manifest their approval by ac
qulescenco or their disapproval by
submitting your action to the judg
ment of tho voters by moans of the
referendum.
"I leave you with renewed assur
ances of tho president's friendly con
corn In tho subject with which you
are dealing and my appreciation of
the kind reception which you havo ac
corded to mo as his spokesman."

day by tho District of Columbia court

nnd Frank Morrison, to six months,
had their sentences remitted and lines
of $500 Imposed.
Tho chief justice of tho court, dis

Tho lower court gave Gompers one
year, Mitchell nino months and Morri
son six months without option of fine.
All wero convicted of violating n court
injunction In tho noted Bucks Stove
and Rnngo case.

of Interstate Commerce Body
by Rail Heads.
Now York, May 3. Tho conference
commltteo of managers rejected hero
Thursday tho demands of tho con
ductors and trainmen on the forty
threo roads of the eastern district.
The answer was communicated to a
committee representing tho Order of
Railway Conductors and tho Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen at a se
cret meotlng held in tho Engineering
Society building.
Tho managers' commltteo call atten
tion to tho fact that In 1910 tho rail
toads, in order to avert a strike, grant
ed the conductors and trainmen an
aggiegate lucreabe In wages of $30,
000,000. Tho presont Increaso of
$17,000,000, tho roads point out, would
bo equivalent to placing on tholr prop
erties a lien of $425,000,000 of 4 per
cent, securities, the burden of which
would fall upon tho public.
Tho trainmen and conductors may
at n Inter date modify their demands
upon tho managers, or they may
elect to take a referendum strike vote
among their 100,000 members.
Tho railroads of tho eastern terri
tory, having discussed the freight
rate problem, have decided to ask

to nllow a 5 per cent. Increase on

NEW WEAPON AGAINST GERMS
French Scientist Invent Method of
Purifying Air Aid to Fight Con
tagious Diseases,
That distinguished physiologist.
Prof. Charles Ulchct of tho Acadomjr
of Medicine, has given tho particulars
of nn invention which he recently sub
mtttcd to his colleagues for tho puri
fication of air in rooms.
Ho has contrived an apparatus called
an nlr filter. Tho principle on which
It la based Is the method adopted by
certain physiologists and notably by
Director Mont-Sourls of tho Observa
tory of Mlquel for determining tho
number of germs contained In tho air.
Professor Rlchot's air filter consists
of n smnll ventilator worked by elec
tricity, which displaces nbout 200
cubic motors of nir an hour. Beneath
tho fans of tho ventilator is a reser
voir of glycerin.
Tho rotation ot tho fans scatters
tho glycorln In fine drops along tho
walls of tho cylinder containing tho
ventilator and tho 200 cubic meters ot
air which aro passing through the
cylinder aro purified Bluco the air par
ticles constantly come into contact
with tho little circuit of liquid par
tlcleB which carry with them as they
fall the germs, dust, microbes, and
sporos always found In tho air.
Tho mechanical sterilization of air
in this mothod is n kind of laboratory
Imitation of tho vast purification of
tho ntmosphoro cnuscd by a heavy
rainfall. Professor Rlchct thinks tho
general use of his apparatus would'
materially diminish tho risks of con
tagion by tho gorniB of scarlatina,
smallpox, and consumption.
