ed
Philadelphia, Nov. 1S.-The alarm
that has caused by the nine cases of
tetanus following vaccination in Cam
den, N. j., has aroused the city officials
there to take official action in the mat
ter. The Board of Health and the
Board of Education each held meetings
to-day. The former decided to request
physicians to cease vaccinating persons
until an investigation as to the cause
of the lockjaw cases has been made,
and the latter rescinded the order of
compulsory vaccination of all school
children. OF the nine cases of tetanus
so far reported. seven of the victims
have died and the other two are still
in dangerous condition.
There have been several cases of te-
tanQs following vaccination reported in
Philadelphia, but no official action has
been taken. The question of compul-
sorry vaccination of school children and
teachers has been taken to- the courts
and resulted in verdict in favor of
vaccination. The case was that of
a girls high school teacher who re-
fused to be vaccinated. She was sus-
pended by the school board and she
carried her case to the court. The
board was sustained and the teacher
was dismissed from the service of the
city. She took an appeal to the Su-
perior Court to-day.
Coroner Dugan of this city has prom
ised the Vaccination Society of
America to make thorough investiga-
ton of the death of Joseph Goldie, a
boy of Bristol, Pa, who died-in hos
pital here from tetanus, alleged to have
followed vaccination. The coroner's
physician is now engaged in making an
autopsy.

hauser to-day rendered a verdict find
ing the st. Louis health department
negligent in the preparation of Ndiph
iberia anti-toxin, the administration
of which recently caused the deaths by

The verdict, in part, is as follows:
1--WE find that the deceased came to
their death from tetanus following the
administration of diphtheria anti-toxin
containing tetanus toxin, said diphthe
ria anti-toxin having been prepared
and issued by the health department
of the city of st. Louis, and bearing
dates on labels of Aug. "a and Sept.
80, 1901.
"The presence of tetanus toxin in
the diphtheria anti-toxin shows negli-
gence on the part of the health depart
ment in the preparation of said diph-
iberia anti-toxin, and in the issuance
thereof"
For some time the city health depart
ment has been making anti-toxin for
use in diphtheria cases. This was dis
tributed among practicing physicians
throughout the city free of charge, and
used in the city institutions quite gen
orally In many cases it is said to
have saved lives. The serum was obs
tanned from horses that are said to
have contracted tetanus.

DID THEIR WORK IN JAIL.
Lawyer Prosecuted for Aiding Coun-
terfeiters-A Sequel to the Reve-
nue. Stamp Case.


Philadelphia, Nov. 1S.--John l.. Sem
pie, a lawyer of Camden, N. j., was
placed on trial to-day in the United
States District Court before Judge Nc
Pherson, charged with aiding and abet-
ting Arthur Taylor and Baldwin S.
Bredell in making, issuing and at
tempting to circulate counterfeit $40
notes. Semple is the thirteenth man to
be arrested in connection with the cell
ebrated Lancaster, Pa, revenue stamp
counterfeiting conspiracy conceived by
Jacobs and Kendig, cigar manufacture
ers of that city in 1897. Nine men have
gone to the penitentiary for their part
in the crime and three others are in
the county prison awaiting sentence.
The government is represented by
United States District Attorney Hol-
land, who will be aided by Assistant
United States District Attorney j. E.
Beck. The latter prosecuted the other
cases against the conspirators. Sem
pie pleaded not guilty.
In his opening address District At
torney Holland told how Taylor and
Bredell in their prison cell under the
direction of Lawyer Semple had Sc
cured small press, having it made at
Snow Hill; how three plates and an
engraving tool had been purchased for
them in New York in December 1899;
how they made the plates in their cell,
working at night by the light of an oil
lamp; how the counterfeits were show
ed to Semple and approved by him,
and finally how they were put in cir
culation by Harry Taylor, brother of
Arthur. The district attorney said he
would prove all this, and in addition
show that Semple had secured the $50
new one dollar silver certificates and
had given them to Bredell and Taylor,
who washed them and impressed them
with the $40 plates. The principal wit
ness to-day was Taylor, who
explained in every detail how
they carried on their counter
feiting work in Jail. He told
how he and Bredell had constructed a
hood out of blankets so that the keep
ers could not see the light of their
lamp as they worked at night. He told
of how they secured the tools and said
that they usually did the work at
night. After they had finished each
night they would conceal their tools
in a valise and the engraved plate in
a magazine. The valise and magazine
had not been inspected by the keepers
or prison inspectors in six months.

Washington from his summer vacation
in Europe, and has resumed the du-
ties of his post here. When asked about
the existing relations between Ger

"They have never been better or

newspapers to the effect that Germany
is trying to acquire coaling stations
or foothold of some kind in South
America, or in the West Indian waters.
These reports are started again and
again by our enemies, who don't like
to see us on too friendly terms with
the United States. / can tell you now

Service Shell Demolishes Target on
which New Gun Failed.
New York, Nov. 1S.-The mixed, board
of army and navy officers detailed to
witness and report on the performances
of the Gathmann gun did not make
further trial of the gun to-day. The
board intended to try a projectile to
be weighted with 500 pounds of sand
as a substitute for the wet gun cot
ton used in the Gathmann shell. The
object was to ascertain what the shell
was capable of doing without the ex-
plosive. The board, however, conc
cluded to abandon any further test,
after witnessing the effect of a regular
service shell charged with twenty
pounds of Maximite. The latter was
discharged from the regular 12-inch
rifle with a reduced charge of smoke
less powder at a distance representing
four miles. The service shell with a
muzzle velocity of 1900 feet a second
struck the target and shattered it to
fragments.
