Recent Investigations Have Strengthened
tho Arguments In Its Favor.
Although milk has so frequently been
held responsible for the dissemination
of diphtheria, yet curously but few ex-
act Investigations have been made on
the behavior of diphtheria bacilli in
milk. Hesse found that cholera bacill
underwent deterioration In raw milk:
that, in fact, when kept in these sur
rounG.ngs at a temperature of 81 de-
grees c. (9S F., they were entirely de-
stroyed within % hours. Caro- of Ma
pies, on the other hand, working with
anthrax bacilli in raw milk, states that
these microbes flourish abundantly in
milk and abate no jot of their virulence
under these conditions. Professor Schot-
telius has repeated these experiments
and has entirely confirmed them. He
has, however, extended his investiga-
lions to the behavior of diphtheria ba-
cili in milk.
In recent number of The Central
blatt fur Bakteriologie, Part l." sum-
married. account Is given of these re-
searches, and it appears that in fresh
milk diphtheria bacilli find an excep-
tionally satisfactory material for growth
and multiplication. In sterilized milk.
however, their growth was not so album
dant and was less strongly marked than
in the ordinary broth used for cultiva-
ton purposes. AS the milk was only
sterilized for half an hour by means of
the ordinary Soxhlet apparatus, this

ria bacilli in the raw and heated milk.

to the milk having become acid through

ARRESTED FOR FRAUD.
A Sequel to Massachusetts Benefit Asso-
citation Case.

Boston, May 27.-George E. Litchfeld,
who up to few months ago was manager
of the printing plant of the Massachusetts,
Benefit association at 145 High street. and
Charles Fl. Barber. both of whom give
their residence as 231 Harrison avenue,
were arrested tonight charged with con-
spiracy to defraud the association of $500
in July 1895.
Litchfield is a cousin of George E.
Litchfeld, the former president of the
association. When it was decided to
establish the printing plant on High
street George L. Litchfield was selected to
be manager. Barber was an employe.
The paper used in the plant was pur-
chased from various stationary dealers
about town. About July. 1895, bills for
paper began to come in from a concern
whose bill heads reads ''Charles Newman,
/ Central wharf" Later on other bills
were sent in in the name of j. G. DIM
ming of Beach street. About a year ago
Barber was discharged. 1t was not until
after the trouble of the Massachusetts
regarding any of the bills for paper. Geo.
E. Litchfeld was discharged from his
position as manager of the printing plant
by President Rolker.
Several weeks ago a question arose over
some of the bills for paper. Attentio n
was attracted to the bills on Beach street
and Central wharf firms, and an inyesti-

PEARY'S NEXT TRIP NORTH.
Arctic Explorer Explains His Plans for
the Future.

New York, May 27.-Lieutenant Robert
E. Peary, who yesterday received five
years leave of absence from his duties
in the navy, for the purpose OF making
another attempt to reach the North Pole,
will start north on July s, making pre-
lininary journey. The real journey will
be begun in ] uly, 1898.
Lieutenant Peary will first pick out a
ship for the preliminary voyage. He
will select one of the st. John sealers,
and have it ready to leave Boston be-
tween July and 8. At Boston the sealer
will take on board store of supplies.
Lieutenant Peary will be accompanied
by two or more scientific parties, which
will go north with him to some point
near Melville Bay. One of the parties
will be conducted by Prof. q. IL. Barton
of the Massachusetts Institute OF Tech
nology Another will be led by Prof G.
H. Hitchcock of Dartmouth, and num-
Der of Yale scientists will probably orga
nize a third party.
These scientists will work independently
of..Lieut. Peary, and will be in no way
concerned with his affairs.
Lieutenant Peary's object in his pre-
liminary trip will be to communicate
with colony of Esquimaux at Whale
sound, who are known as the Arctic
Highlanders. Mr.. Pcary has lived with
these people and gained their entire con-
fdence and affection. When he left Whale
sound, he says, he was acquainted with
every man, woman and child in the colo
ny. He has the utmost confidence in the
people and say they will do anything for
him within their power.
He will Tjcly ont civ Or eight Of the
most intelligent young men in the colony
and prepare them to establish another
colony which year later will be the base
of supplies.
In this village, which they will found,
they will work throughout the year col
Letting meat, furs, bear skins, to be made
into trousers, seal skin boots, sledges and
other supplies, and collecting and training
a pack Of the best Esquimaux dogs OBJ
tainable.
Lieutenant Peary says he could utilize
the entire tribe in his work if it were
necessary. He will have his men arrange
affairs so that when he sees them in the
summer of 1898 they will be ready to
move with him at days notice.
Lieut.. Peary will be accompanied on
this trip by his wife and three year old
daughter, but on the expedition Mrs
Peary and the child will remain in this
country.
The journey this summer will be from
Boston to Sidney, to Cape Breton where
the ship will take on coal, through the
Gulf Of ST. Lawrence to Belle Island up
the Labrador coast to the mouth of Hud-
sons straight, then to Resolution island
and across to the south of Greenland
coast,to Melville bay and finally to Whale
sound which will be reached the latter
part of July.
The return will be made in September.
