Hebrew Charitable Societies.

At the annual meeting Of the United He.
brew Charities of New York, which will be
held on October 80, the question of the fed
GRAFTON of all the Hebrew charitable or
CARNATIONS In this city, representatives OF
about fifteen Of the largest Of them will be
considered. The object OF such a fedora
ton would be the advantage and economy
in canvassing for contributions. Each OF
the organizations entering into 1t would
preserve its character and autonomy
I. s. Isaacs. the secretary Of the United
Hebrew Charities, said recently:
Similar declarations are now in exist
ence in Edinburgh and in Glasgow, and
among Jewish societies in Philadelphia.
Chicago and Cincinnati, and they are
great success. The point of such a fedora
ton is that instead of the various societies
making various appeals for contributions,
there is one agency which collects for them
all. The various societies have representa-
ton on a board, which canvasses the pub
lie, and what is collected is apportiOned
among them, according to their needs. This
plan has not yet been adopted here be-
cause some of the more important societies
have thought that 1t would not pay so well
as n they canvassed for themselves. Tie
trouble, however, with the present plan Is
that only the same few people contribute
all the time. Some are overtaxed. and
some are never reached at all.
The new plan would save In canvassing
and In bookkeeping. 1t would also bring
In more money, for more people would be
seen. and no one would be taxed more than
he wanted. 1t would also save In the max
ing of reports. and would furnish check
able societies now and then which are not
needed. The board should say whether
they are needed or not. and whether they
should share In the menAy collected"

SMALLPOX SITUATION
ONE NEW CASE SINCE SATURDAY
HEALTH OFFICE STATEMENT.

Since the removal Of Madeline Kalben-
bach, sixteen years old. of 1102 Park place
northeast, to the smallpox hospital yester-
day, there has been no development OF
smallpox reported within the city. but the
health authorities are still far from san
guine that the spread of infection from the
original Van der Las case has been checked.
As matters stand now the failure of the ply
stefan who attended David E. Van der Las
to distinguish the latter's ailment from
chickenpox has resulted In the spread OF
the dread disease to three other people.
among them the baby son OF Van der Las
and his brother. The latter is dead and Da-
vid E. Van der Las, jr., is Ill In the small
pox hospital.
In addition to this visible effect Of the
physicians error comes the narrow escape
from disrupting the District government by
the compulsory closing of the property
clerks office, which, fortunately, was not
necessary; but there was natural apprehen-
sion on the part of some twenty clerks in
the property room and double as many po-
licemen In the seventh precinct, all OF
whom were more or less directly exposed
to Infection from David Van der Las.
Direct Contact.
Madeline Balbenbach, it seems was al
lowed to play with the Van der Las baby
on several occasions while David Van
der Las was confined to his home, 12431a
Duncan street northeast, with Chicken
pox' Yesterday morning the young woman
became Ill and the family physician imme-
diately suspected smallpox. He notified the
health authorities, and as soon as the lat
ter had confirmed the family physicians
diagnosis, the girl was removed to the
smallpox hospital The Kalbenbach home,
1lO2 Park place, Is now under quarantine.
1t was reported last night that Madeline
kalbenbach's case so closely resembed that
of the late Harry Van der Las that it was
thought she, too, would debut the hos
pital authorities stated at noon today that
she was resting much more easily
So many queries have been heard con-
corning the reason the Office of the property
clerk in the District building was not quar-
antlned, together with the statements that
quarantine would have been inforced II SIM
liar exposure to contagion had occurred
anywhere else, that question to this eff
fect was asked in the health office today
Acting Health Officer MacLean made an
sWer. stating that the usual form of pro-
cedure was being followed: that all en-
pIoyes in the property clerks office had
been vaccinated and all were being kept
under observation.
1t is the rule he said, ito quarantine
only when there has been direct exposure to
the disease
On the same subject DIR. Fowler, chief
smallpox inspector, said that the employees
OF the property clerks Office were in no
Danger at all from the Harry Van der Las
case and he thought that the exposure to
possible infection during the time when
David Van der Las was introduced to the
property clerk employees was very slight.
