Ever since "A child lying at the point
OF death with pneumonia was, about
ten months ago, taken to the roof to
get "a breath of fresh air." at the sug-
gestion of DR.. William p Northrup, of
No. 81 East 79th-st, who is one of the
attending physicians at the hospital.
children suffering from that disease
have been cared for on the roof of the
hospital on every day that the wealth
er would permit. On every fair day
they are to be seen in their cots on
the roof, their feet warmly shod, their
bodies protected by warm undergar-
ments and gray monkish capes with
hoods attached, and over all the com.
Portable blankets of the cots.
The theory of this new form of treat
ment for disease Of which the world
has so long stood in fear is that a per-
son whose lungs are already hampered
by the consolidation Of the pulmonary
tissue needs not the stuffy atmosphere
and oppressive heat of a tightly closed
bedroom, as physicians used to think,
nut the pure fresh air Of out of doors.
Just as pure and just as fresh as it can
be obtained. The great fear for pneu-
monia patients has all along been that
they would take cold" Those in favor
OF the outdoor treatment of the disease
say that a patient with a high fever
and dry skin cannot catch cold. Par
ucular pains are taken to keep the
feet of the little patients at the Pres

they care to drink, i'm small quantities
at time. This is aOnther radical de-
parture from the old form Of treatment
of the disease under which II was
thought unwise To give a sufferer from
pneumonia cold drinks The water is
now administered on the theory that il
helps to sweep the accumulated poisons
from the system
In the treatment Of adult cases of
pneumonia practically the same course
is followed at the Presbyterian Hos
pital, though not on such an extensive
scale. Fresh air treatment for adult
pneumonia patients is carried out on
larger scale at the Fordham Hospital.
DR., Thomas ]. Dunn has had erected
an outside ward or pavilion there, the
walls of which are largely of cheese
cloth. They are separated from the
roof by large air space. and in add-
ton to this precaution are pierced at
frequent intervals by windows that
may be thrown open on all sides of the
building, affording perfect circulation
Of pure air on fine days. Many cures
are said to have been effected as n re-
suit OF this method OF treatment.
Statistics show that about fifteen thou

yearly.

MANAGER BALLENTYNE AND DEPUTY ATTORNEY
SER HAVE LIVELY DISCUSSION OF DIVIDENDS
AND PROPERTY vALUE-PRossER INTrNiATEs THAT A TOO
LARGE DIVIDEND WAS PAID LAST YEAR

Rapid Transit valuations, issues of
stock and dividends were the subjects
of much discussion before the Tax APP
peal court this morning with Manager
Ballentyne under cross examination by
Deputy Attorney General Prosser. Bal
lentyne reeled off figures i'm manner
calculated to make his auditors dizzy,
but he didn't seem able to satisfy
PrOsser, whose questions showed a
strong conviction either that the com
pany's stock was watered its dividends
more than the law allows or its property
return to the tax assessor considerably
too low. S. NJ. BaIou appeared as
counsel for the company, Wilmington
having gone to Hawaii
Ballentyne said that there were com
mon and preferred stock out to the ex-
tent of $1150,OOO' and that all of it re-
presented 100 cents on the dollar, paid
in. Prosser mistakenly asked about
how much had been paid in for the
stock, in cash. and finally secured adj
missions that nothing had been actually
paid in or the issuance of 100000 worth
of the stock, according to Prosser's
way of figuring" But when the de-
putty attorney general sought to apply
this conclusion the Rapid Transit man
ager emphatically resented it. He tes-
titled to having paid a dividend of s32, -
600 last year.
THE common stock then" said Pros
ser after lot of questioning, repre-
sents $780, 600 paid in in cash?"
Ballentyne said it did, and Prosser
wanted to know if the s32, 900 had been
paid on that sum of investment. ut
was paid on 100000 worth of stock.

IF paid on the 100000 it would re-
present about 10 per cent, wouldn't ito"

In about three weeks the unit will be

one han of the entire plant will be
taken from the Manuhana stream and
Will generate a current OF 1900 volts.
This force will all go to the McBryde

for their pumps.
The water that is to supply the driv-
ing force for the other unit will be

time after the first wheels have turned

thus be in operation.
Of course there win be considerable
W Crk to which the whole force now en-
ployed on the enterprise will be put

Drain ditches will have to be dug i'm
order to guard against freshets. Addi-
tional clearing will have to be done
and other odds and ends attended to.
The three hundred meI stIll at work
over there will therefore not drift back
to the plantations for anOthed two or
three months.
Many additions and improvements
have changed the original plans dur

and the original estimate has therefore
been considerably exceeded. This

increase the plant to double the capa-

THE COURSE OF
THE LA PALOMA
LITTLE SHIP WAS ABOUT 1875
MILES SOUTH OF A DIRECT
LINE WHEN SIGHTED.

The sighting of the La PalOma by
the S. S. Mariposa as told by the MORN
ing cable report sheds much Ight on the
course that is being followed by the lit
tie boat.
According to the pilots chart the La
Paloma was about 125 miles south of a
direct line between San Pedro and this
port, In going south her captain could
strike trade wind where there is only
three chances in a hundred of a calm.
At the time she was sighted the La
Paloma was within two days sailing Of
the spot where the. sailing vessels from
San Francisco make the turn to take
direct line to Honolulu. When he is on
that line he will only have one chance
out of one hundred of a calm. The on
ly thing which makes il bad is that the
wind is directly aft. This will make it
difficult sailing.

good time as she did the first five days
she has now two-third Of the distance
