WASHINGTON, May 1o.-The Humane
Society Of Galveston, Tex, where the cruiser
Galveston stopped for few days in April,
has addressed communication to w. H.
Moody, Secretary Of the Navy" accom-
panied by newspaper clippings. asking that
some official inquiry be instituted into al
legged ill treatment OF tho sailors OF the Gal
weston by Commander Cutler. The news
paper clippings are stories OF the actions
Of members of the crew and the punishment
awarded them by their officers for getting
drunk breaking leaves Of absence. being
absent without leave and violating city
orclinancee
Secretary Morton upholds the action Of
he says that the only effective method to
prevent the recurrence Of such Incidents
will be to restrict the visits OF ships OF the
navy to Galveston.
In one of the newspaper clippings It IL
said that a member Of the crew OF the Gal
weston had made the charge that command
ing and executive officers of the cruiser
had called u member OF the crew Damn
fool"
Mr.. Morton dsvotes considerable space In
k~lascussing the propriety OF the term, and
says that Of course it would constitute an
offense II it were proved that an officer did
use such an expression
Another clipping said that Police Clerk
Opperman Of the Galveston city govern =
ment WAS assaulted by q mob of blue :
Jackets" when he boarded the ship. In his
letter Secretary Morton says that, X the
facts are "a stated, q very bad element
exists in the crew OF the Galveston. He
said also that the attack on any person
whether citizen or official, on board 4 ship
Of the navy. coupled with breaking Of city
ordinances by the men. overstaying leaves
of absence and drunkenness In public
places, would constitute the most ample
excuse for any lawful action Of discipline
by the commanding officer,
local paper at Galveston gave this ver-
sion OF what happened:
The majority OF the men were placed
in the coop to sleep of their drunk and then
relea sed as neither the police nor Recorder
Bovston were disposed to punish the poor
fellows for having got beyond the limits
Of polite conduct while laboring under a
cargo of liquor
The Galveston went to Galveston late in
April to receive a silver service which the
city was to present to its namesake. The
letter from the Humane Society said that
the newspaper stories we're based on fact ,
and that this matter has stirred the hearts
Of the people Of Galveston, who take great
pride and interest In the career of their
naval namesa Ike, and accordingly an in
vestigation of the alleged i'll treatment Of
the sailors was desired

NEW ANAESTHETIC.
Can Be Used Locally and Has Many
Advantages.

Consul Albert of Brunswick, Germany,
repCrts to the Department of Commerce the
discovery of a new anaesthetic. 1t is stated
that the editor of German medical jour
nal in connection with DR.. Franz Holf-
mann, had succeeded in producing a sub
stance which possesses ali the qualities of
cocaine in causing insensibility to pain, and
at the same time has none of the injurious
effects of that remedial agent. This new
substance has been called by them "alypin.
After numerous experiments the two in
vestigators have been able to establish the
fac. that alypin is neutral reagent easily
soluble in water, causing insensi bilty to
pain at the place of application; a so-called
produced by the generally known anaes-
thetics. which cause entire loss of con-
seriousness and are in the real sense of
thu term narcotics
These experiments have further shown
that aiypin, while possessing strength equal
to cocaine in its effect, is at the same time
to be preferred to the latter, because 1t is
less poisonous, produces no enlargement OF
the pupils, can be used agreeably to and
without disturbance of the patients con-
diton, and that structure of the vas
cular structure follows from it's use.
The Importance of this discovery is at
once evident, for the less the danger con-
nected with the insensibilty artificially
produced so much the better 1t is for the
patient and the tranquility of the ply
SicianS.

INCREASING TAX ON WHEAT.
Greece Wants to Encourage Home Pro.
duction

Mr.. Charles S. Wilson, secretary OF leSa-
ton at Athens. Greece, has. Informed the
State Department that on July &c the prime
minister presented the budget for 1908 to
the chamber of deputies. According to the
figures given the receipts are estimated at
$24 ,063, 1913 and the expenses at So, 732 ,65I,
leaving surplus of 81 $50 400.
A large portion of this surplus will be OBJ
tanned by a tax imposed upon the wheat
imported into Greece. Mr.. Rhally has pre-
scented bill to parliament, by which the
tax on foreign wheat is increased by 9
lepta per oke, making the total tax lepta
about l 1-3 cents per oke Il oke. roughly,
one-fourth busheD. This new tax is strong
ly advocated, not only because it will III
crease the revenues, but also because it Will
encourage national industry. Wheat is
one of the most important products of the
province of Thessaly, where about 100000
acres are given up to its cultivation, pro-
ducing from 100000 to 100000 bushels,
or from Il to 20 bushels per acre, according
as the year is good or bad.
The wheat from Thessaly is not cOnsid-
cred as of such good quality as that which
is imported, chiefly from Russia, but it is
claimed that the increased tax will cause a
much greater demand for native wheat and
encourage further production, as it is stat
ed that under favorable conditions Thessaly
could add 2,O0o 600 or 3.00O,000 bushels to its
crop. This bill, in spite of some opposition
from the wheat merchants at Piraeus, has
already had its second reading, and seems
certain to become a law.
Mr.. Rhally also proposes other changes in
the tariff by increasing, among other things
the duties on rice, paper. bicycles, automo-
biles and cordage. 1t is expected that the
budget will be passed by the end of this
week and the present session of parIia-
ment dissolved.
The currant convention has passed its
second reading by large majority and, in
spite of opposition in some parts of the
country, will undoubtedly be adopted with
in a few days.

TYPHOID SITUATION.
EFFORT TO DETERMINE EFFECT
OF WATER,

Beginning with today Health Officer
woodward has ordered that the record
OF new cases OF typhoid fever as indicated
on the typhoid map Of the District,
shall be marked with purple instead Of red
mead pins, so as to trace. IL possible the
good effects due to partial filtration of the
eity's water supply. ss
As explained by Acting Superintendent
OF the Water Department Garland today,
the filtered water which with the turning
on Of one more filter bed today has reach
ed the considerable total of 100000 gall
Ions. enters the city system of distributing
mains by way Of the big mains along
Florida avenue from the Trumbnll street
pumping station. Thence 1t courses along
Florida avenue to Massachusetts avenue. to
I'd and P streets northwest, along P street
to Dupont Circle and to 18th street. south
on 18th street to L street and from that
point east to New Jersey avenue. All along
the route smaller distributing mains take
the water into adjoining territory, but 1t Is
believed portion of the purified water
IS even now in almost every main in the
city.
No effort is being made to give to any
one section OF the city the major part of
the benefit accruing from filtration Of the
water supply, and the pure water and the
raw product of the Potomac are flowing
from adjoining centers of distribution.
Varying pressure of course, will result In
SendlnS the purl1ed portion over greater
or less area, but according to estimates
made by the authorities this morning. it Is
believed that the filtered water will be
most used within the territory where it will
do most good-that is, in that portion of
the city where typhoid fever is most pre-
valent
An examination of the typhoid map
in the health office shows conclusively that
the greatest number of sufferers from ty-
phoid fever live in a belt about nine
squares wide. bounded generally by 9th
street northwest and North Capitol street.
One very good reason for this state of
affairs is that the section named is prob
ably the most thickly populated in the
city. Much interest will be taken by the
authorities in watching to see whether
there is a marked diminution in the per-
centage of typhoid fever in this section as
compared with other parts of the city,
which will probably be a little later in
securing the best effects of filtration.
The typhoid fever situation this morning
showed little change, although only three.
new cases were reported yesterday and
like number today. These brought the
total of new cases since July ] up to All,
of whom 291 were still under treatment
this morning. One death increased the
total number of fatalities since the first
of July to forty-three.

Alleged Misleading Translation.

The translation of the circular as sent to
Washington, it is charged. was SO made
that Secretary Metcalf and others In au-
.lthority were misled into the belief that
the passengers before named were guilty
of attempting to bride the medical officer
and to procure from him fraudulent health
certificate.
The Free Press demands that the inter-
prefer and medical officer be summarily
dismissed from the service upon charges of
accepting brides, and the consul at Hong
kong. whose signature was attached to each
certificate, be adequately punished. The
Free Press ADDS: The officers at Wash
ngton are not so stupid to really place
any faith in the bribery idea. But the
damage was done. and the word goes to
the world by telegraph that the willy China
man is up to his old tricks again The
journal asserts that passengers provided
with proper papers some times wait for
months at Chinese ports for the doctors
certificate before being allowed to board
the outgoing steamer and the lucky ones
whose cases are finally attended to are
those whose purses are longest and who
can most readily pay the robbers tribute.
1t adds
rs it surprising that retaliation of some
kind should follow? And are not the par
ties injured fully justified in refusing to
barter with those who sanction such vii
lainy?''
