DOCTORS CALLED BY j. W. GATES.
He Has Dysentery, with HemOrrhaxes-.NG
Operation. Says DIR. McBurney.

Operation. Says DIR. McEsurney.
SARATOGA. Aug. l2.--John W. Gates
has a stubborn case Of dysentery. accom-
panied by hemorrhages.
Mr. Gates was III when he arrived here
with his family nearly three weeks ago.
He made light OF his illness, however,
until late last week, when. at the solicita-
ton OF his family and friends. he called
DIR. Calvin s. May OF New York. Yester-
day afternoon, after he got back from the
races to his cottage at the United States
Hotel, Mr.. Gates seemed not to he 80 we'll,
and the family suggested that a surgeon
be called in consultation with the physician
A preference was expressed for DR..
Charles McBurney, who is an old friend Of
DR.. May. The latter happened to know
that DIR, McBurney was at his country
place at Stockbridge, Mass. and tele-
graphed for him at once. He arrived late
last evening. The surgeon and physician
examined Mr.. Gates this morning
Mr.. Gates was taken with dysentery
Last March and he has suffered from it ever
since. Hemorrhages set in about a month
ago and there was a recurrence Of these at
more or less frequent intervals until last
Saturday, when there was a response to
Or. Mays treatment and there have been
no hemorrhages for three days. 1t is be-
ieved that they have been checked for
good
Dr. McBurney made a thorough exami-
nation Of the patient this morning, and
when it was over he said there was no need
OF an operation now and ne saw no reason
for the contemplation Of one Further
than that he agreed in all details with the
treatment prescribed by DR.. May, and re-
turned to Stockbridge soon after the con-
sultation To THE Sun correspondent DR.,
May made the following statement this
evening;
Mr. Gates's condition is not at all danger
QUA. With the exception Of to-day, he has
been 10 the races nearly every day. 1t is
not the business of physician to predict,
but may say that see no reason why Mr..
Gates should not be restored to perfect
health Laymen, and particularly the lay
men of Wall Street, may get, perhaps, a
better notion Of Mr.. Gates's condition when
it Is stated that he spends no moro time in
bed than the average well man, and that

tage and smoked his usual number OF fat

on DENYING BAIL TO CHILDREN
Justice Freedman's Opinion or Police Court
Pint-of-Becr Practice.

Under all circumstances, regardless Of
any law to the contrary" said Justice
Freedman in the Supreme Court yesterday,
this court will exercise its right to admit
such prisoners as this to bail. Children
are wards of the court and are always
entitled to it's protection, 1t is an outrage
that tired mechanics child, going for a
pint Of beer, may be cast into prison like a
common criminal and actually deprived
of bail.
He discharged from custody Morris
Moses, a fourteen-year-old boy Of 1857
Second avenue, who was committed to the
Gerry society as witness against liquor
dealer. The liquor dealer is accused Of
selling the boy n Pint of beer his father
had sent him for. The boy was committed
by Magistrate Crane without bail in accord
ance with the practice in committing chill
dren az witnesses to the Gerry society.
G. l.. Hoffman got n writ Of habeas corpus
and disputed the constitntionality of the
practice pointing ont that under it a child
might be kept locked up for weeks and
months without any remedy.

IN CONFERENCE ON FINANCE.
Long Wight Session OF President and scna-
tors az Oyster Bay.

OYSTER BAY, n. ", Aug. IA most
important conference between President
Roosevelt and the subcommittee of the
Senate Committee on Finance, composed
OF Senators Spooner of Wisconsin, Allison
OF Iowa, Plat of Connecticut and Aldrich
Of Rhode Island, is being held tonight at
Sycamore Hill
The distinguished party got here this
afternoon on the steam yacht Virginia, be-
longing to son OF ex-G Gov Roswell P Flower
They came across the Sound from Warwick
Senator Aldrichs summer home. where
conference over the proposed financial legis-
lation had been going on for severa. days.
Senator Spooner said. before going to
Sycamore, that the party had come to
talk over many important matters" with
Mr.. Roosevelt. He said he did not care to
say anything at present about financial
legislation. From another source it was
learned that the proposed bill has not been
fully drafted. but the measures which the
subcommittee wants to embody in it have
been put in such form that the President
can pass on them readily
Mr.. Roosevet's views. it can be said
will predominant in the preparation Of the
measure.
The President has already announced that
he most earnestly desires that the bill be
ready for introduction in the special session
of Congress which will convene on Nov. Q,
and the members Of the subcommittee also,
it was said tonight, are in favor of bring
ing the measure up at that time. and as
signing to it a place Of importance on the
calendar second only, if at all, to Cuban
reciprocity.
The conference tonight. it can be said
is proceeding along the lines laid down
by the President in his speeches, in which
Mr.. Roosevelt advocates legislation looking
toward more elastic currency system,
and one which will be less susceptible
than the present to the fluctuations Of
values.
The committee will remain with the
President over night, and the conference
will probably be continued tomorrow
| morning.

NEWPORT II. l., Aug, 12.-An incident
is being told by the cottagers in which
Count Louis Primoli of Rome figures
He arrived at Newport several days ago,
and was not generally known by the cot
tagers. On Monday morning he appeared
on the avenue with camera in one hand
and a box Of plates slung over his shoulder.
He was dressed ip khaki uniform and
ladies in the summer colony.
The Count paraded up and down in front
of the Casino for hours, and did not hesi-
tate to walk up to woman, point the
camera at her and press the button.
The women became indignant. and several
were heard to complain of the actions of
the Count, then unknown to them.
On Monday night when the guests as
sembled at Beechwood for the ball given
by Mrs Aston they we're surprised to find
the photographer in the ballroom ngling
with the guests.
There we're many inquiries as to who
he was, and finally he was introduced
all around as Count Primoli of Rome. The
women then thought that it was a good
joke, and it got to the ears of the Count
that he had offended the ladies'
He explained that he was taking the
which he had taken all over the world. The
society women then forgave him. He is
