DIR. HITCH INDIGNANT.
Convinced That Typhoid Germs
Lire an Hudson RiUer Ice.

Edward Hatch. fr was indignant yesterday IN
speaking of the statement of DR.. Porter. state
Commissioner of Health, on Saturday. He reter-
ated HIS conviction that typhoid germs lived with
out difficulty in ice. saying that Dr. Porters the
cries about the self publication Of ice were alb
surd.
why" said he, take that case OF the arrest
Of a man in Jersey City for cutting ice from
bitches The ice could not have been cut later
than February Very well; much of it was prob
ably obtained earlier. Yet examination showed
the water to be full Of healthy. eager typhoid
germs Yet Dr. Porter says 100 per cent of tho
germs die after being frozen for at most two or
three weeks.
..FIfs own report shows him to be OF two minds
In one breath he says there is no danger, In an
other that he wants power TO preserve public
health"
Mr. Hatch went on to cite DR.. Prudden as author-
ity for the statement that typhoid bacilh IN Hud-
son River ice had resumed business after being
frozen for four months while innocent bacteria
died Quickly. Or Prudden's tests were carefully
conducted in 1855. and recent tests by DR.. JACK
SON chemist of the Department Of Water supply,
Gas and Electricity show that there is still dan
ger.
1T Is a most remarkable state OF anairs' said
Mr. Hatch when officials who are supposed TO
look after the health the public are continually
minimizing the dangers that i1 Ir III water anu
other sources Of i'll health and disease.
ANY number of authorities can be cited TO snow
that bacteria can be frozen IN an ICE oIocA ana

no less dangerous than before.
Much criticism has developed, IN quarters that
sent out when TYPHOID fever cases were report "a

ton of warm times ahead. and the lnteHgent VIII

FIGHT FOR AND AGAINST LICENSE
Residents Of Riverhead and Near by Vote on
Liquor Question Today.

The recent utterance of the Rev. William T.
WATSON, OF Riyerhead, Long Island. favoring the
licensing OF saloons. has had the effect Of arOus-
Ing enthusiasm against license according TO a Long
Islander seen last night by reporter for The Trib-
une The church element of the communities around
Riverhead is against Mr. WATSON. The largest
vote In the history Of that section expected to be
pol!ed in the election which takes place to-day.
One OF the reasons giveu by Mr.. WATSON for IL
cense was that ne was convinced that as much
liquor IS sold under no-Iieense law as under IL
cense. Henry {. cOrwith. a summer resident OF
sridgehsinpton. has secured the formation OF per-
nanent law and order committees in several Of tho
election districts, to work for the no-lcense law.
which has been in effect there FOR the last two
years. and also thai the public officers heneefor,h

Project Giuen Many Hard BLoscs
at a Public Hearing.

The Chinatown park project received what Is
believed TO be Its quietus yesterday at a public
hearing before committee appointed by the Board
of Estimate and Apportionment TO look into the
proposition. The meeting was held in the old
council chamber OF the City Hall No one ap-
peared In favor of the park. but a large number
appeared against g.
The gi5t of the arguments that a park Is
not needed at the place where II was proposed to
have this one. Mr.. Adolph Bloch. who repre-
sented the Real Estate Owners Association. said
that the whole purpose of the attempt TO place a
park in Chinatown was a mercenary one on the
part OF some person corporation and that the
main idea seemed 20 be wipe out Chinatown
He said further that most of the Chinesetl live on
the northerly side OF Pell street and occupy prac
tically the entie block fro the Bowery to Mott
street, ana Mott street from PeIl street 20
Chatham Square. and that the proposed park would
leave Chinatown practically the same as Il was
before.

JOHN WOOD NOW
JOHN INQUIRE
IN LOS ANGELES

John w. Wood, the saloon man
who disappeared from Spokane
leaving thousands of dollars in
debts several months ago, has been
located in Los Angeles, Cal, where.
under the name Of John Macguire
he is engaged in the saloon bust
ness and is making as rapid pro-
gress at building up the fortune he
made and lost in Spokane, as he
did here when from an investment
of $50 and a diamond ring inside
of a few months he owned three
saloons and a wholesale liquor bust
ness.
The denouement came when Mr.
Wood, dapper as ever and with his
inimitable air of good fellowship
went to r. G.. Dunn's agency and
asked for rating. A clerk who
was sitting with his back to
Wood wheeled suddenly on hearing
his voice and with the glad hand
greeted him with "Howdo, Billy!"
1t is stated by Woods creditors
that the goods he left here have
settled all debts. Although his dis
appearance was decidedly queer
there are those who claim Wood
became too respondent to longer
continue in business in this city.
and just naturally took railroad
trip for nowhere without any pre-
arrangement. Wood conducted all
his own business without even the
aid of a clerk, most of the time.
