bench the S. r. o. sign was out and
hundreds We're turned away from the
courtroom door. More than 500 persons
crowded into the courtroom and crowd
ed one another from railing TO door,
FINALLY the crush became so great that
the doors were locked and officers
were stationed in the hallways To pre-
vent the crowds from rushing into the
room.
In the han down stairs fully 300 men
and women crowded. eager to get a
look at Sullivan when he should arrive
But, In the vernacular of the street
urchin, the crowd was ''stung."
Sullivan was not arraigned.
MRS. FORD PRESENT.
In the courtroom. within the en-
closure, sat Mrs. Ford, widow of the
murdered officer. Next to her sat her
two daughters and other relatives of
the dead man, All were in deep
mourning. They were there to see the
desperate who is accused of murder
ing the husband and father. Shortly
before court convened the family of the
murdered officer were informed that
Sullivan would not be brought into
court today. They left Immediately.
When Judge Diehl took the bench

+. Goss, charged with battery, and
the court rendered a decision that Goss
was not guilty.

statement:
III the court please, I am informed
by Mr.. Hanson that the defendant Sui
Ivan desires two more days In whicS
to plead and to consult counsel. and
will therefore ask that the case be con-
tinued for that purpose until Wednes-
dav at 10 O'Clock.
The case was then set for that date
for pleading
Even after the matter was ordered
hontinued, the crowd in the court
room remained. The spectators did not
believe what they heard. thinking that
1t was merely a ruse to clear the court
room. They were finally convinced.
however, that Sullivan would not be
in court today and there was a rush

New York, Jan. 2O.--That most wo-

husbands to drink was the statement

which yearly shortens the time devoted
TO study.
Instructors In professions have felt
the same tendency to make shorter the
yearly periods Of study. Six weeks used
to be the holiday time for students Of
music, but the teachers now find them
selves deserted for twice as many weeks.
Some of them have summer classes out
Of New York for the serious students
who do not desire to lose so much Of
their period Of instruction. The paint

Some of them conduct summer schools.

Milk end the Public Health.

When DR.. NATHAN RAW Of Liverpool
declared at the International Congress
in washingtoa on Wednesday that il
had been demonstrated that DR.. KOCH
was in error when he said that bovine
tuberculosis could not be communicated
to the human, DR.. RAW undoubtedly had
o majority Of the eminent physicians
attending the Congress on his side,
despite the inestimable services to
mankind Of the discoverer Of phthisis
bacilli. Since DIR. Koch In 1901 pub
lished a conclusion which was In con-
fiict with his former opinion, that the
germ Of the disease was the same in man
and animals, the unity theory 30 called,
the British Royal Commission on Tuber-
culosis has decided against Professor
KocHs present theory, and medical men
generally have been convinced by the
results OF the experiments undertaken
for the commission and its array Of
statistics.
1t may be true strictly in bacterio-
logical sense, as DR.. KOCH told the
congress on Wednesday, that 4in no
case Of pulmonary tuberculosis has the
tubercle bacillus OF the bovine type
been definitely demonstrated, but the
profession at large believes that the
disease, whether the bovine bacillus
can be identified or not, Is communi-
Gated in the milk Of the COW with fatal
effects. For DIR. KOCH 1t has been said
that his meaning has been misconstrued,
and that he does not deny that bovine
bacilli are found in man. As a matter
Of fact he said in addressing the oon-
gress that bovine bacilli have been found
in the cervical lymph glands and in the
intestinal tract, but then he added;
with few exceptions however these baeiIn
are but slightly virulent for man and remain
localized The few known csses In which the
bovine tuberculosis 10 said 70 have been pro.
duosd In man appear 70 me not 10 be above sus-
plcon."
In other words, then, DIR. KOCH means
that bovine bacilli do not produce in
man the disease which has caused so
much havoc among human beings that
by comparison the destruction of life
on the battlefield is insignificant. II is
that meaning which has arrayed the
greater part Of the medical profession
against him. 1t does not hold with him

that cases of bovine tttbeFuuIosis "saitl

then, all the more reason for paatstifis-

II tuberculosis and the other diseases
mentioned can be checked by such =
process. II h q great service 10 human
lty TO Insist upon pasteurization, that
Il, heating the milk 10 the temperature
necessary to kill germs, and then pro-
teeting II from contamination.
Mr.. NATHAN STRAUs Of this city, who
began hia campaign 10 save human life
sixteen years ago, when he declared
that II you'd be "criminal neglect to
feed young children on milk which has
not been sterilized, has converted thou
sands Of hostile physicians and incredu-
lOus laymen to his view that pasteuriza-
ton would go far toward preventing
the spread Of tuberculosis. IL is diff
cult for the sceptio to stand up against
the evidence he has collected, and IL Is
not easy TO show that there are disad-
vantagee In the use of the prepared milk
that weigh much in the balance. Where
ever the pasteurized milk hss been tried
there has been a most significant falling
of in the death rate among children. In
the infants hospital on Randall's Island
pasteurization in 1907 reduced the death
rate from A.36 per cent. to 1880 per
cent, and in the neighborhood Of Hell
delberg, Germany, where pasteuriza-
ton waF taken up during the last sum
mer under the direction Of Mr.. STRAus,
results were equally impressive.
In recent elaborate publication Of
the United States Government, milk
and Its Relation to the Public Health,
may be found abundant evidence that
the investigation that produced 1t was
prompted by recognition Of tbs service
rendered to humanity by citizen Of
New York.
