SIX BABES BORN
ON HIGH SEA
LINER KURFUERsT's SURGEON
HAS BUSY TIME
TripIets Make Their Advent in the
Steerage, Twins in the Second
Cabin and One Lone Mite
in First Cabin

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK. July 4.-Six robust
babies were added to the passenger
complement of the North German Lloyd
liner Grosser Kurfuerst on the voyage
from Bremen.
The Kurfuerst was hardly out two
days from Bremen when DR.. Starke,
the ships physician, was summoned to
the steerage at midnight and before
daylight he announced that Mrs. Leah
Polinsky had become the mother of
triplets, two girls and boy.
Three days later the doctor was called
to the second cabin to attend Mrs. A
Gotham, who brought into the world
two baby girls.
On Sunday night. while DR.. Starke
and the second officer sat smoking to-
gether, the surgeon remarked that he
hoped there would be no more births
before the ship docked. The words
were hardly uttered when a stewardess
came hurrying aloft and announced
that another birth was imminent.
This time it was in the first cabin
and Mrs. A. Friedenberg added the
sixth baby to the record list of. births
on the Kurfuerst. Mrs. Friedenberg' s
husband came from Seattle to meet the
steamer and was overjoyed when he
boarded the ship and found another
heir.

ELECTRICIANS WORRY CITY
No Bridges May Swing or Lights
Burn if Pay Is
Cut
BY Associa ted Press.

CHICAGO, July Anime men threat
en- to tie up the shipping interests of
this port and il is said that unless they
can be pacified within rty-eight hours
it is probable that not a single vessel
may be able to move out of the Chi
cagO river.
This will be due to the fact that it
may become impossible to swing many
of the bridges that are operated by
electricity. The nine men are members
of the Electrical Workers union. Their
pay has been cut.
Business Agent Charles Bloomfield
of the Electrical Workers union served
notice on the city that the time had
expired wherein his organization in
sisted that the old rule of double time
for overtime should be recognized, and
the communication which went to the
city gave notice that unless the old
rule was Immediately restored every
electrician employed by the city would
quit work.
This means not only the bridge cleo
tricians, but those who take care of
the lighting plants will quit, thus plac-
ing the city in darkness.
Prior to January / of this year the
men were paid double time for over
time. After that time the officials cut
it down to time and a half.

HEALTH RATE HIGH
IN SAN FRANCISCO
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 4.-Dr
Ilassler of the health department says
there has been remarkable decrease
in sickness in this city. He says the
most marked falling off has been in
contagious diseases, particularly in
typhoid fever.
He estimates that in the last thirty
days there has been an improvement
of 30 per cent in the health of the city,
At no time since the fire has the public
health been affected to any serious de-
gree, and the constantly improving con-
dtion is a source of qualification to the
public officials.
Dr. Hassler, when asked the reason
for this remarkable sanitary showing,
said:
ut is due in part to the water con-
ditions, which have been greatly i'm
proved. Living in the open air has its
good effects upon the health of the
people. but the care and vigilance used
in disinfecting and otherwise attending
to the sanitation of the various camps
Is, in my opinion, the principal cause
of the unusual good health of the
citizens.
There is very little sickness in the
camps, which is, of course, a great aid
to the health officers"

ZIONISTS IN WARM DEBATE
Proposition to subsidlze Publication
Endorsed by Number
of Rabbis
z Associated Press.

TANNERSVILLE, N. Y. July A.
Quite stir was created at yesterdays s
session of the Zionist convention by
the introduction of a resolution in
dorsing and giving support financially
TO the "Yiddisher Kaemper," or THE
Jew Militant" the organ of the radical
element in the Zionist movement.
A feature of the discussion elected by
this resolution was it's support by a
number of rabbis on the ground that
it was helping to bring many Jews who
had drifted into socialism back to
Judaism. Nevertheless, considerable
opposition was manifested and in order
to prevent anw acrimonious discussion
the resolution was withdrawn.
The purpose of the resolution, how
ever. was served by the adoption of
a motion giving the publication COM
mittee the right to indorse and subsi-
dize such publications as it may deem
deserving.

open their doors tomorrow.
All persons arrested for drunkenness

II do not anticipate much trouble in
dealing with the open saloon problem.
There has never been a time when those
who desired liquor could not get it by
crossing the bay, although since April

our streets.
Before then there were about $500
drinking places, while today about 600
licenses have been issued by the COM
