DOCTOR BEATEN on NINTH AVE
Gang WayIays Him Near Chelsea Square
and RObs Him Of 49,.

DR.. Mordaunt ~Sigismund, who was a
practising physician in England for forty
years and who came TO this country to live
in June, was assaulted and robbed by three
men at 100 o'clock yesterday morning
while walking along Ninth avenue between
T~wenty-irst and Twenty-second streets.
DR.. Sigismund was on his way to his home
at 800 West Twentieth street. One Of the
men struck him on the back Of the head
with a blackjack and the other two pum-
melted him with their fists.
The doc tor fell stunned to the sidewalk
and the thugs went through his pockets,
getting between S45 and $50, 50 the doctor
says. DR.. Sigismund reported the matter
to the West Twentieth street police station.
Detectives were put on the case and arrested
Thomas MCGOWAN OF 463 West Tw~enty-frst
street on suspicion of being concerned in
the holdup. The young man was identi-
fed by DR.. Sigismund as being one OF the
gang that followed him.
DR.. Sigismund's condition was such yes
terday that he was unable to appear IN
court against MCGOWAN. Coming to this
country on the steamship Furnessia in June
DR.. Sigismund caused considerable COM
ment by preaching to the passengers when
there was no dominic on board. Although
a Hebrew, DIR. Sigismund spoke to all faiths
and took his tex from the Epistle Of st
Paul.

AFTER ILLINOIS RAILROADS.
Concern Representing $4,000 shippers
wants $500, 900.

"N"
CHICAGO Oct. 27.-With the mailing OF a
letter to President Roosevelt protesting
against heads Of railroads assisting the
Interstate Commerce Commission In the
preparation Of new freight and passenger
tariffs and subppnaing Samuel NJ. FELTON,.
president Of the Chicago and Alton road.
to appear before Justice Martin on Tuesday,
the Illinois Freight Audit Company renewed
the fight against railroads which are alleged
TO have illegally charged more than 100000
TO 5000 Illinois shippers. who are repre-
sented by the Audit Company.
President FELTON, is subp1naed in a con-
tinued nae, partly heard by Justice Martin.
At a former hearing Auditor Davis Of the
railroad testified that all records and way
bills by which the plaintiff hoped to prove
that the railroad had charged illegal rates
had been destroyed.
sit does not seem reasonable that the
Chicago and Alton would destroy all their
valuable papers, " said Attorney T.S Hogan
for the audit company. We will ask the
president when he is put on the witness
stand if it is the custom OF the road to
make away with all its valuable papers,
as Auditor Davis alleged"
The Illinois Freight Audit Company has
cases against two other roads pending
before Justice Martin. On Wednesday
representatives of the Illinois Central will
appear, and on Thurdsay heads Of the Chi
cago, Peoria and st Louis and Of the Wabash
railroads will face Justice Martin.
The Illinois Freight Aud Company looks
after the interests OF IS 600 shippers in
Illinois. Rudolph H.. Patterson is presi-
dent Of the company. He wrote the letter
of protest to President Roosevelt after he
learned that officials of various roads were
to assist the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.

ALIEN LABOR LAW VIOLATED.
Serious Charges Against Cotton Will own
ers in North Carolina.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Prima facie evil
dence has been received at the Bureau OF
immigration that mill owners in No nth
Carolina were guilty of a fragrant VIOLA
ton OF the alien contract labor law in the
case of the twenty-five English girls brought
TO this country to work in cotton factories
in several cities in that State. A statement
made public at the bureau to-day says:
1T may be said that these persons were
for the most part employed in England,
oontented with their lot and perfectly salts
fed to remain where they were, until
their ambition was aroused by the state
ments made to them by the agent who is
alleged to be responsible for their importa-
ton. 1t was represented to them that
they would receive various SUM up to
s. per day for their services here. In
point of fact, however, all of these persons
received higher wages in England than
ave been paid since tlieys arrived in North
Carolina. There hRs~ cen some variation
in the wages, but fir, m 80 cents to 81 per
day for twelve hours work is apparently
the average. From So to - per week has
been exacted in payment OF bed IN inc
establishments maintained or cont oiled by
the mill owners. and the ! wing conditions
rave been far from satisfactory.
AS a consequence all OF the aliens are
very much dissatisfied and are not inclined

actual circumstances under which they
were brought to the United States. The
prepayment Of passage under a definite
promise of employment is Illegal, this being
also true as to solicitations, promises and
agreements to perform labor or service
as an induoement to aliens to migrate to
the United States. The agent herein re-
ferred to, it is charged, not only paid the
passages of these persons, but he is also
alleged to have invented stories for each
alien to tell the inspection officers at the
port Of entry. az well as explaining the
ing each person S25 and fictitious addresses
to facilitate landing, besides coaching
the younger girls to misstate their ages a.
a means of still further deceiving the ex-
aiming officials. All had employment
promised in advance Of coming here.
The Department Of Commerce and Labor
has sent explicit instructions that the
aliens shall not be confined in any penal
institution, but shall be made comfortable
in respectable boarding houses

S4LTCYLrC ACrD HARMTUL
DR.. wiley Proves II IN Experiments Per.
formed IN q Poison suuad.'

WASHINGTON, Dot. 11-As a result Of
scientific experiments performed upon a
poison squad Of twelve young Govern
ment clerks. DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, chief
chemist Of the Department Of Agriculture,
has reached the conclusion that s~alicylio
acid and ~salicylates exert a harmful and
depressing influence upon the digestive
organs Of the human body. Their use a. a
preservative for foods. he adds. Is repre-
hensible in every respect and leads TO injury
TO the consumer which may be productive
OF great harm. He said that there il no
necessity for their use as preservatives.
as h same result can be accomplished
by the use Of less Objectionable chemicals.
DR.. Wiley's investigation indicated that
the Use Of salicylio acid wa followed by
a stimulating effect upon the digestive
organs. n there was also an increased
appetite. This hunger was only tenn
Porary and was accompanied by a feeling Of
heavlness and uneasiness in the upper
and front portion Of the stomach. A loss
in the weight Of the member Of the squad
was also noticed as from the time the use
OF salicylic acid was begun. DR.: Wiley
u that the general effect Of thec chemical
was to diminish the weight Of the body
by interfering with the processes Of nutri-
ton. The use OF salicylic acid also pro-

blood ~corpuscles and a slight increase in
the white coTpuscles.
The investigation proved, however, that
the intensity Of the color OF the blood di-
minishes. After the effects Of the acid
we airs of there is a marked decrease in
the number % both red and white cor
p~uscles.
DR.. Wiley demonstrates that the use OF
salicylic acid, even in small quantities, is
not entirely harmless. However. he found
that salicylic acid and its compounds ara
not a. harmful as has generally been sup
posed by physicians and scientific men
generally.
That s~alicylio acid should be singled
out especially for condemnation" he says,
docs not seem TO be justified by the data
which are presented and discussed in this
