NOT ALL MENINTITIS.
Health officials Think Deaths Re
ported from 1t Exaggerated.

1t IS said to be the fashion among the doctors in
Brooklyn to give cerebro-spinal meningitis the
cause of death all possible occasions. In one
instance where death was reported as being caused
by that disease ii found by the Bureau Of Con-
tagious Diseases that several members of the family
had been made sick by eating lobster. The death
was clearly due to ptomaine poisoning. In another
instance physician reported death being due to
cerebro-spnal meningitis and dentition. Investiga-
uon showed that it was probably simple case of
meningitis, brought by dentition If a child dies
OF convulsions the physician is likely to attribute
II TO the prevailing disease.
Inc number OF cases of death from cerebro-spina
meningitis reported each week for some time has
not varied much For the twenty-four hours ending
on Tuesday night thirteen deaths from that disease
were reported. Taken by itself il would show an
alarming mortality. But yesterday on the other
hand, only two cases were reported and on Monday
there were only three making eighteen for three
days Thirteen was the largest number OF deaths
reported from that disease IN any one day But IN
Ile ola days IL not uncommon for that many
deaths to be reported from ordinary menngitis in
day. '''-s''iS IA

VICTORY FOR THE B. R. 7.
May Control Bridge Traffic Into

The Rapid Transit Commissions committee on

the commission at its meeting to-day the adoption
of all the essential features Of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company's proposed alterations in Brook
lyn loops for the bridges the East River.
The changes in the routes follow the company's
recommendations almost exactly, and make it
tirey probable that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company will control the bridge traffic running
from Manhattan into Brooklyn and Queens bor-
oughs.
No changes were made In the Manhattan routes
and. in fact, the alterations made for Brooklyn
are mere matters Of detail. They were. however.

Transit Company, and will make 1t feasible. from
that company's point Of view, to bid for the loops

Maiden Lane, with a four-track loop under the
river to a connection with it's lines in Brooklyn.
The entry Of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit into

4 WIRELESS PUZZLE.
De Forest-Marcomi Suit Decision
Both Sides Claim Victory.

Both sides see a victory In the decision handed
down yesterday by Justice Townsend in the United
States District Court. in action brought by the
Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company against the
De Forest Wireless Telegraph Company for alleged
infringement Of basic patents.
The Marconi company represented by Belts
Sheffield & Belts. while the defendants coun-
sci were Francis Y. Butler and Philip Farnsworth.
So involved in character is the fifty page typewrt-
ten opinion that plaintiff and defendant alike an
nounce a sweeping victory. and technical Is the
language Of the court that mere laynan can
safely dispute either contention.
The contention OF the Marconi company was
based upon six claims. two of which Judge Town
send sustains and four OF which dismisses. Upon
the two sustained the court allows injunction
and an accounting. holding that. far those
two separate claims are concerned the defendant
infringed them The defence. however declares
that to the devices specified in the two sus-
tanned claims, It matters nothing, it has long
since abandoned their use.
Plaintiffs counsel on the other hand assert that
the contention of the Marconi company is upheld
by the court in the two sustained claims. and that
the devices mentioned in the four dismissed claims
are of no especial significance.
With equal assurance Mr. Farnsworth declares
that claim No. of the plaintiff, II allowed, would
have given Mr.. Marconi absolute monopoly in
wireless teegraphy but that by the four dismissed
claims the De Forrest company has won a great
sweeping and substantial victory.
