aavAeEs OF SPOTTED FEVER.
It Has Recently Claimed Hundreds OF
Victims in New York.

Victims in New York.
So alarming have the rayageS OF
spotted fever, or, as it is medically
known, cerebro spinal meningitis, be-
come in New York, that the committee
appointed by the Health Department
to investigate the disease and, if posi-
bic, find a cure has been directed to
carry on it's work with all speed, as
the number Of persons who daily fall
victims has reached alarming proper
tons. Last week 131 persons died from
the mysterious malady, as compared
with So the week before. The total
number of deaths for the past eight
weeks is 543.
Physicians in all parts of the city
have been called to attend hundreds of
cases of the disease in it's mflder form.
Statistics prove that only from % to
80 per cent of the afflicted persons re-
cover. The disease is prevalent in all
sections of the country. For two weeks
the New York Board of Health has
been deluged with letters from health
departments offering remedies for the
are from veterinary surgeons who adj
here stoutly to the assertion that men,
nights is similar to the disease of dis
temper in dogs, and physicians do not
deny that the symptoms are almost
identical.
Health Commissioner Darlington be-
lieves that the disease is non-conta-
gious and will be stamped out by the
warm weather, but admits that the
identical germ has not been discovered
nor a cure found One of the leading
New York specialists in children's dis
eases makes the statement that the
severity of last winter is responsible
for the epidemic, the principal victims
of which are found among the young.
1t is confined chiefly to the tenement
districts of the East and West Sides
of New York, he says. The weather
compelled the poor to remain indoors
and upon these improperly nourished
persons the bacteria readily f. An
other physician says:
II have found that among children
who have succumbed many suffered
from ricketts,, a weakened state of bone,
muscle and blood, due to improper
feeding during infancy. Such children
are more liable to take the disease. A
child affected that is properly nour-
ished and in which the formal func
tons of the body are stimulated,
stands a better chance of recovery
than one in whom those conditions are
| neglected.
The disease has lately appeared in
Chicago and other cities of the Middle
West to an alarming extent.

CHICAGO STRIKE UNCHANGED.
No Settlement Has as Yet Been Effected
of Transfers Trouble.

Notwithstanding the efforts Of Mayor
Dunno and others the transfers strike
against Montgomery Ward & Co. appears
as far from a settlement. The Mayor
called the leaders of both sides to the
city hall and acted as intermediary be-
tween them, but nothing was accomplish
ed. The question of whether or not the
strike of the garment workers, dating
back to last December, shall be arbitrat-
ed continues to be the rock upon which
all efforts to bring the contending parties
to an agreement go to pieces.
After a series of conferences, ending
with the one arranged by Mayor Dunno,
Martin J. Isaacs, attorney for the Whole
sale Tailors' Association, said:
"We will not arbitrate or even discuss
the garment workers strike. It is a
dead issue. We have conducted the open
shop for four months. It is more salts
factory to us, and we shall continue it,
although union men will receive from us
the same consideration as any other class
of workmen-no more, no less. That is
our position, as we have explained it to
Mayor Dunno, and we will not deviate
from it in any particular.
At the same time the representatives
Of the strikers, officials in various unions
and the Federation of Labor, which is
supporting the strike, said in effect:
"The basis of the trouble is the garment
workers strike. We cannot accept any
arbitration in the transfers strike which
does not include the source of the trou-

An unusually good official crop report,
increased use of money and further
broadening in demands upon produc-
tive branches have been encouraging
developments and favorably affected
the business situation generally. A
material addition to activity was de
rived from the opening of lake traffic
and large initial water movement of
necessary raw material.

work is advanced several weeks earlier

DOCTORS ARE AT SEA
In Dealing with the Scourge OF Cere>
bro-SpinaI Meningitis.

Medical science seems TO be complete
" baff1ed in dealing with cerebro-splna
meningitis, which is now epidemic II
New York. Like scarlet fever, it IS al
most as much of mystery now as 1t was
when the first case was discovered an0
identified.
The comparison extends further, foi
cerebro-spinal meningitis is a tebrlie dls
ease commonly known as spotted fever,
although it varies from scarlet lever III
the particular that it is endemic as wei
as epidemic. They are alike, too, IN then
disastrous effect upon victims who re-
cover. Deafness, total or partial blind
ness, paralysis or muscular deformlty
almost invariably result from an ATTACK
of either Of the diseases mentioned. Ihe
convalescent almost without exception IL
left a chronic invalid with an att11ctlon
that is but little less terrible than the
disease itself.
They are alike, too, in the fact that
both are classified as bacterial or NIL
crobous diseases. The theory that scarlet
fever is a germ disease has long been
held by psychologists, but not until the
present epidemical outbreak of cerebro'
spinal meningitis has that theory been
asserted as applying to the latter.
For the benefit of the laymen 1t should
be explained that the meninges are the
membranes that cover the spinal cord
and the brain and that meningitis IS an
infamed condition of these membranes
Until very recently the disease has been
considered peculiar to children, almost
an infantile disease, in fact.
Children, of course, are more easily
subject to injuries of the spine and cere'
bral region than adults by reason OF their
immaturity. The present epidemic III
New York has shown, however, that
adults are also subject to it, and OF the
appalling number of deaths that have
occurred there since Jan. /, large pro-
portion were adults.
Absolute cleanliness and avoidance OF
places where the air may be impure are
about the only precautions that can DC
| taken. In the meantime the medical SCI
entists are experimenting in every posi-
| BILE way to discover some means of com
| batting the dread disease, which has al
| ready reached such proportions in one
| locality as to cause general alarm in ev
| cry large center of population.

Japan,
Operations on Land.

The operations on land during the
week have consisted only Of inconse-
quential outpost affairs. 1t is an
nounced that the main part of Line
vitch's army has reached Kirin. If the
Japanese armies are making any prog
ress in the great enveloping movement
that is supposed to be taking place
east and west Of the railroad, the Rus
slams have not discovered the fact,
neither has the war office at Tokio re-
vealed it.
The internal situation in Russia
seems to be developing from bad to
worse. Strikes continue at most of
the industrial centers, and the agrarian
outrages keep troops in motion in all
parts of the empire. There are indi-
cations that the Gar and his immedi-
ate advisers are not little perturbed
over the outlook. This is evidenced
by the imperial rescript issued Thurs
day appointing a commission to draw
up a scheme of land reform by which
the peasant may be given increased
holdings. with an opportunity to pur-
chase his land outright by a gradu-
ated system of payments.
The Russian Minister Of Finance has
promised the workmen that commits
sion is at work upon scheme for the
betterment of their condition, to in
clude State insurance against sickness,
the right to form unions, and the re-
moval Of criminal liability for strikes.
These reforms are promised for the
Indefinite future There is danger,
however, in the procrastinating habits
of Russian off1cialdom, and while
commissions are dallying with the
problem of discovering the minimum
of reform needed to calm the storm,
the people themselves, with less study
and less procrastination, may be devils
ing the maximum of reform they pro-
pose to exact from government that
has kept them out of their own SO
long.
