New York, May S-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Business continues large and industry
active in most cases surprising previous
years at this date despite unreasona bly,
cool weather in some sections and a
swarm of labor troubles. Results of the
late cold wave now coming to hand are
seen in arrested vegetable growth in near
~ all sections, with damage to spring
planted crops notably corn, cotton, oats
vegetables and fruits, which neCessitates
much repldnting It is notable, however,
that winter wheat has gone through and
emerged from the late freeze with little
deterioration.
Most of the measures Of trade and in
dustrial volume still make favorable
shoWings, prices except for food products
which tend to lower on seasonal BILE
changes are firmly held The simply enor-
nous gain in gross railway earnings re-
ported for April-l5 per cent. over the best
in previous years, is proof that past good
reports of trade and traffic were fully
justified
Iron production is at the miximum but
pieron is DUH and dropping, though the
feeling Is that new buying may be at

contrast with Crudor forms is the strength

Thsfts in Past Your

Wilmington, May 7.-Burgars visited
this town last night ana made an en-
trance in two places and unsuccessful ef-
forts to enter two others. They effected
an entrance at the place of Warren Boyd
but did not secure anything of value
They got into the place of Frank Calm
and secured $40 in cash, some jewclry and
other Valuables. There We're evidences of
their attempting TO make two other en-
frances in the village but they were UNI
successful There is no clue to the bur-
glars although it is thought it Is the same
gang that operated in Readsboro the
might before. The people are much OK
cited as there have been about 20 burg
laries committed III this valley in the past
year and the guilty parties have not been
detected in any case.

name of John Powers but no residence.

mended putting in a system of inter-
locking switches such as are in uso in

ground that they would not be an inn
provement on the system of electric sig

be easily operated in winter.

955 CASES AND 81 DEATHS
Ithaca's Typhoid Fever Epidemic the
Most Important OF Modern Times.

Ithaca. n. Y, May DIR. George Soper,
representative of the State board of hcalt h
who has been in Ithaca since the last of
February to assist tho authorities in their
efforts to stamp out the typhoid fever
epidemic, made public Tonight report
addressed to the common council of
Ithaca, which covers his investig tons.
DR.. Sopor. among other things. stated
that while he hoped the epidemic was
stamped out that as each typhoid patient
furnished opportunity for new center,
it was necessary that the utmost of pre-
cautions be taken in order that the sources
of all infection should be stamped out.
Concerning the statistics of the epidemic
Or. Sopcr said:
so far as can be said al present there
have been 80 cases and "a deaths. This
ranks the epidemic among the most i'm
nortant in modern times in this part of
the world. OF the total number of cases
oeS were students and the remainder
toWnsp"ople
"Thc total nlmber of victims will
never be known. 1t is clear that some
cases of fever that originated at Ithaca
have given rise to cases in other cities. |
have records of many, and of some deaths.
The figures just given as number of cases
and deaths take no account of any which
we've not actually contracted at Ithaca.
THE number of Cornell students who
died of typhoid fever as a result of the
epidemic is %. OF these u died at Ithaca
At the present time there are 10 typhoid
fever patients in bed and 50 GONZALES
cents. Since April ]. there have been II
now cases and six deaths. 1t is import
ant for many reasons that these facts
should be generally known and under
stood. 1t is never good business policy
to hide from the public knowledge facts
about an infectious disease. 1t is due to
the public that the subject be dealt with
honestly and openly. In no other way
can the necessary sanitary safeguards
be assured"
