DUCHESS WAR GAME
INCIDENT CLOSED
Navy Department States That No
Notice Will Be Taken of the
Entertainment"

1t is stated in the most positive man
ner at the Navy Department that no Of
fetal action whatever will be taken look
ing to obtaining from Admiral Hieginson
an explanation of the Duchess of Mari
borough incident" which is alleged to
have occurred at Newport last Satur-
day.
Several officers of the navy who were
with Admiral Higginson's squadron at
the lime declare that the duchess was
never aboard the Kearsarge. and that
the entire matter was made UP ont OF
whole cloth. II is barely possible,
however, that the affair did take place
without these officers knowing anything
about it, as in every case they are sub
ordinates.
In any event. 1t is said by excellent au-
thority at the department that Admiral
Higginson acted we'll within his rights
in the matter. and had a perfect light
to entertain the duchess ct tha time
stated. before the beginning of actual

SYRACUSE. y. Y, Sept. 3.-Ambassa-
dor Andrew d. White a week ago sent
a letter to the White memorial COM
mittee criticising them because the
monument 10 the memory of his cousin,
Hamilton S. White. was not completed
He said he had drawn a codicil TO his
will giving to Yale and Harvard his art
collection. which he had previously
willed to the Syracuse Museum of Fine
Arts. on account of the delay, and
would make the codicil effective if he
did not receive a good explanation.
Yesterday the committee met with
Mayor J. B. Kline. and after hearing the
statement of Gale Sherman. the sculp
tor, gave her a vote of confidence. and
stated that they. were satisfied with
her progress. The contract with Miss
Sherman was not signed until years
after MIR. Whites death. and she was
given two years to complete the work.
She expects TO have it done on time
The sentiment of the committee is
that Ambassador White had been mis-
informed and that on learning the facts
he will see that the Syracuse museum
gets his art treasures after his death.

DECLARES FLIES CAUSE
SPREAD OF TYPHOID
DR.. corbin Says Philadelphia Epidemic
Is Net Due Mainly to I'm
pure Water.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3.-Physicians
recognized as experts in bacteriology
are inclined TO the belief that the ex-
cessive number of typhoid fever cases
which are filling the public hospitals
just now are not due altogether to the
impurity of Philadelphia drinking water
And not all of the cases, they say, are
really typhoid fever. DR.. J. Soils Cohen
blamed two other sources yesterday for
the typhoid outbreak. He said:
Typhoid fever always increases at
this time of the year owing to the in
creased pollution of the sources of water
supply and TO the enormously multiplied
activity of iusects-especially flies.
which carry contagion from one spot 70
another.
Every case of typhoid develops from
the germs conveyed from the discharges
of a preceding case, and water, milk,
and flies are the principal means of
conveyances.
AT this time of the year, too, flies
multiply more rapidly, and on account
of the increased filth of city, they have
easier access to the sources OF pollu-
tion.
THE apparent increase might be ac
counted for also by the fact that there
is large group of diseases which only
recently physicians have learned to dis
tinguish from typhoid fever. They are
known as pseudo-typhoid and para-ty
phoid, and closely resemble the true ty
phoid. They are distinguished by their
general courses and their rapid recov
cry"
Capt. r. r.. Bringhurst, chairman of
water committee, argued
against the water theory in another
way.
If the Schuylkill water contains ty-
phoid germs, why is IL that more people
don't get the disease?" he said. There
are 200 in the hospitals now. Why not
2 900, If the wnter is so bad as that? In
my opinion many people contract the
disease while away at country places
and seaside resorts. where the santa
lion is not so good as it is here. and the
disease germs gain their full strength |
after the vacationists come home. | do |
lot think the water is 10 blame for
many cases"
