Thousands In the East Afflicted BY
the Epidemic.
CAUSES MANY DEATHS
NEW YoRK's DEATH RATE Is
GREATLY INCREASED.
People Are Dying at the Rate of
1925 Per Day-Forty-fve Thou
sand School Children Afflicted
Twenty-Five Thousand Gases at
Philadelphia.

New York, Dec. 22.-The epidemic of
grip is still in marked evidence. The
death rate from bronchitis and pneu-
menia continues very heavy. Many of
the recent deaths from pneumonia have
been indirectly due to the grip. Fur
thermore, physicians say that the prev
alence OF the grip, with the conse-
quent general weakening of the sys-
tenn, causes an increase in mortality in
all lines.
The deaths from all causes reported
today numbered sixteen more than the
day before. During the last four days,
according to DR.. Rodgers Tracey, reg
lister of records of the health depart
ment, the deaths from all causes have
been $50. This is a daily average of
1919. On the corresponding days OF
last year the deaths from all causes
numbered 1888, a daily average of 81.
Many school children and teachers are
suffering from the grip. There are
about $4,000 children enrolled in the
public schools in this city. The normal
ratio of absentees is about one in 200.
Today superintendent Jasper reported
that there were about $4,000 absentees
among the public schools, or 20 per
cent. OF the $3.50 teachers about per
cent are on the absent list, whereas 35b
or 4 per cent is the usual ratio.
There are 3S1 sick policemen today
Philadelphia, Dec. PIT is estimated
that between $4,000 and 10000 persons
in this city are suffering from grip, and
doctors report it on the increase At
the board of health today six deaths
were reported to have occurred within
the past twenty-four hours, directly
due to grip, and twelve other deaths
were traced indirectly to the same
cause.
Washington, Dec. 22.-From the num-
Der of persons connected with the var
ious government departments and large
commercial houses who are i'll, it is
apparent that grip is playing an i'm
portant part in the present health con-
ditions in Washington. OF the 5000 en-
ployees of the government printing
office, 372 were away on sick leave to-
day, and Of the 1000 in the bureau of
engraving and printing, 235 were re-
ported i'll. Throughout the other
branches of the government service the
proportion of absentees on account of
illness is unusually large, even at this
time of the year.
Toledo O., Dec. 22.-The grip has
gained a secure foothold in this city,
and all physicians are busy with it.
While it is impossible to estimate the
number of cases, they will run into the
thousands.

Alleges Misconduct of Those Who
Tried EckSteln and Davis
AS GROUND FOR NEW TRIAL
DIDN'T WANT TO BE LOCKED UP
ALL NIGHT.
And, to Avoid 1t, Returned Verdict
of Guilty In Short order-Defend-
ant Eckstein Sentenced to Eigh-
teen Months and Davis to Thir-
teen Months In Prison.


Barney Eckstein and Albert Davis, who
were convicted by jury on Tuesday of
selling liquor to Indians. were brought
before Judge Marshall in the federal court
yesterday for sentence.
Messrs. Ferguson and Cannon and ]. NJ.
Hamilton, attorneys for the defendants.
submitted a motion for a new trial, urging
as the principal ground therefor miseon-
duct on the part of the jurors, and in
support of their contention submitted an
affidavit by Jurors H. CarlstOn and II. j.
Hassell, who, with ten others, sat on the
case.
p. M, on Dec. 20, and that some time
thereafter the bailiff who had charge Of
the jury opened the door of the jury room
in the midst of their deliberations and an
nounced that the judge desired to know
if they had agreed upon q verdict. and
that if we had not, we would have to do
so within fifteen minutes, or we would
be locked up until morning, as the judge
was going home; that upon receiving such
information, no further ballot was taken
and no further considerations of the evil
dence or the merits of the case was made,
and our foreman informed us that he had
not slept for about forty-SeVen hours, and
he urged us that we should be quick in
our determinations, and other members
of the jury urged that there were nine
against three and that the minority
ought to yield; that no further ballot was
taken, but the verdict was signed by the
foreman; and had it not been for such
statement of the officer in charge, and
coming, as we understood. from the court
we would not have agreed without further
light upon the verdict as found; that We
have not felt right nor to consent in our
minds to said verdict as rendered since
said time. This affidavit is made freely
and voluntarily and with no other thought
or purpose other than that justice may be
done"
The bailiff in charge of the jury was
Thorwald Hammer, who, on being ques-
toned, denied that he had told the jurors
