THREE BANKERS INDICTED.
Brooklyn Financier Fights Police.
Torn From Wife's Side.

NEW YORK, November 27.-The Brook
Ign and jury. which has been investi-
eating the affairs of certain of the sus-
pendad banks handed down Indictments
yesterday against the three Jenkins
brothers-John G., jr.. Frank and Fred.
The indictments are for forgery in the
third degree and relate to transactions
In the Jenkins Trust Company. of which
John e.. jr., was president and Frederick
a director. Frank Jenkins was the presi-
dent of the Williamsburg Trust Company
until shortly after the suspension OF that
institution. The indicted men are sons of

financial circles for many years.
The three sons were bailed out In S1O,-

PEELED to go to police headquarters and
submit to being photographed and meas
ured on the Bertillon system. Frank was
taken by the police after he was arraign-

Hanging as a Sport.

From the North American Review.
We would not deny the gravity o"
death: it is a quite serious matter even
to those of us who, while conscious of, or
at least admitting. no really sinful per-
formances in the past. would neverthe-
less. If pressed confess to certain minor
indiscretions which we would be only too
willing to join with the Lord in forget
ting. Nevertheless. if form or ceremony
or general interest be considered the
criterion, dying is one of the most popu-
lar things one can do. Nobody goes to
see a man born. but the entire COM
munity turns out to see him buried. In
deed. it is we'll known that many people,
perhaps a majority. derive actual enjoy
ment from beholding with their own eyes
life flicker out of a persons body. The
almost universal satisfaction found, from
time immemorial. in witnessing a hang
ing we can understand; the event is more
spectacular and less expensive than a
circus. possesses grisly human interest to
a distinctive degree. is presumab grimly
just and, in any case, is unpreventable
If the hanging is to take place anyway
why shouldn't we see it? That is the rea-
soning-and 1t seems good enough IL one
cares for that variety of sport.

Women Nurses for Navy.

In a recent report to the Secretary Of
the Navy Surgeon General Rixey ex-
pressed the hope that Congress at Its
coming session will provide not only a
well-eauipped hospital corps and q corps
of dental surgeons, but a corps Of women
nurses as we'll. Regarding the nurses he
says: "Of course the women nurses could
have no place at sea except on hospital
ships. but in the naval hospitals. where
nine-tenths of the serious cases are terat-
ed, their peculiar fitness for work In wards
and In the operating room makes their
services most desirable. Furthermore,
their presence there would operate to re-
lease the major part of the men for as
signment to necessary duty on our vessels
of war and hospital ships, where they
would be urgently needed.
THAT women nurses are by natural en-
dowment and special aptitude superior to
male nurses for much of the duty re-
Qured In the care of sick and injured men
is generally admitted; that their employ
ment is compatible and would not con-
fict with the conditions arising from the
military character of our institution may
be inferred from the experience Of the
army, which acknowledges their work as
deserving of the warmest praise; and We
have only to look back upon their record
of splendid services in modern wars to b,
convinced of their adaptability to service
conditions and of their efficiency in insti-
tutions under military control. Indeed,
their imrortanc, in military services, as
well as in civil life. has been amply and
conc lusively demonstrated and is now
firmly established. Naval hospitals do not
differ materially from civil hospitals,
either in construction or routine. and tn
employment of women nurses in the on
should bring as satisfactory results as in
the other. AS compared with the admins
tration of our hospitals under present con-
ditions tn cir advent would certainly in
sure a higher and much to be desired
standard of efficiency in the care of in
mates"

SEIZED BY UNCLE SAM
Alleged Violation Of the Pure Food
Act.


BALTIMORE. Md: November 2.-Act.
ing under instructions from the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Washington, D.. c.,
forty-f1ve barrels of bourbon whisky were
seized late yesterday afternoon at the
naval stores and oil establishment OF A.
L. Webb & Sons. 115-117 East Lombard
street. The seizure is OF unusual i'm
portance. as it is the first to be made in
this city as a test under the pure food act.
The papers for the seizure were prepar7
ed by United States District Attorney
John c. Rose. representing the govern
ment. The papers charged that A. L.
Webb & Sons had in their possession for
ty-fve barrels of whisky. the distillation
of which is not in accordance with the re-
auirements of the pure food law. The
specific charge was that the contents Of
these forty-five barrels were distilled from
syrups or molasses Instead OF from grain.
District Attorney Roses action Is the
result Of an Inspection made some time
ago by Walter E. Campbef1, chief food
and drug inspector of the United States
Department of ARricuitare. AS soon as
he reported that this parti .llar brand Of
liquor was Improperly distilled. and that
the distillers were apparently unwilling to
comply with the special requirements Of
the pure food act covering such cases
Mr.. Rose was notified to proceed.
Mr.. Charles A. Webb OF the firm said
as to the seizure:
I'VE know nothing whatever OF the
composition of the whisky. All we know
ls that 1t Is bourbon whisky sent out by
New York city. OF which we have the
branch agency. The whisky is manufac-
tured in New Orleans. 1t Is at our estab-

however. Is in keeping with what was to
be seen on the plains when people began
to abandon their wagons. Others would
come along and take q wheel OF an axle
with which to strengthen their own
wagons.
Mr.. Meeker was asked why he didn't
use other means of locomotion in making
this trip, and was ready with a reply.
