APPENDICITIS IS
CAUSED By GRAPE
SEED NOW PROVEN
Case of Little Carl Erlenbach Is
Eagerly Discussed by
Physicians.
AUTOPSY SHOWED
CAUSE OF HIS DEATH
However, This Is First Authen.
ticated Case of Sort on
Record Here.

The popular belief that grape seeds
cause appendicitis. supposed to have
been exploded. is proved by one case,
the first on record in this city, so far
as known, where grapeseed was
found lodged in the appendix of II
months-old Carl Erlenbach, of 6si
Bergen street.
An autopsy was performed late Sat-
urday afternoon upon the body by Dr.
Alfred Stahl, of $50 Bergen street. The
seed was found exactly where the ply
sician said it would be found, In the
vermiform appendix.
Just at this season of the year. when
grapes are in demand. the discovery has
caused much comment in medical
circles. At the City Hospital, where
over 1000 operations for appendicitis
have been performed. not a single case
irritant is on record. County Physician
Daniel Elliott was greatly surprised al
the discovery, and declared that in al
his practise he had never seen or heard
of a similar case.
There is absolutely no doubt as tc
the cause of the babys death. The
fatal grapeseed Is now In the Office OF
DIR. Alfred Stahl. of 800 Bergen street
who attended the little sufferer and
performed the autopsy.
The case is d perfectly plain one,'
declared DIR. Stahlu today. "Here is
the seed that caused death. 1t was
found lodged in the appendix, and was
the direct cause of the disease.
Several years ago it was generally
believed that grape seeds caused ap.
pendicitis," said former County Ply
sicisn William H. Mckenzie today
but this belief was discredited by
physicians. l do not think there has
Saen single case, with this exception
D warrant the popular belief. The dis
covery shows that there is danger In
grapes"
Carls death was caused by the first
and only grape he ever ate. 1t was
given him by his mother when the
little fellow begged for 1t. She hao
purchase a basket of the fruit and left
it open where Carl saw it. He ate the
grape with great relish and three days
later was taken Ill. After suffering fol-
two days he died

the flames. Others, who had been
aroused too late, fell unconscious be-
fore they could reach a window and
were burned to death scarcely an arms
length from safety. Many were in
jured by jumping from upper windows
to the street or by being crushed as
they fought for positions Of safety on
the cholsed fire escapes.
The police have description OF a
man who carried three barrels Of oil
soaked rubbish into the hallway. with
which the fire was started.
Thousands in the crowded neighbor-
hood were in panic during the fire.
They fled from adjoining tenements
scantily clad, dragging their household
effects after them.
Battalion Chief Jennings pronounced
the building firetrap, declaring the
firemen had practically no chance to
save the unfortunate victims.
That so many persons were killed
and seriously injured was in part due
to the carelessness of the tenants of
the house themselves and their disre-
gard of the rule that fire-escapes must
be kept clear of distinctions at all
times. When the frightened men and
women rushed from their rooms ahead
of the flames they found the wells Of

boards which could not be quickly re-

children were tossed from the second

men standing in the street.
The fire was in the heart Of the Gala
brian section of New York. and It is the
opinion of the police that It was the
work Of Black Hand agents. The Black
Eand has been active with fire of late.
It has been found more effective I'm the

Turkey BIames Austrla.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 5.-Turkey
Is convinced that Austria, backed by
Germany, encouraged Bulgaria to de-
clare her independence in order to
strike blow at the Kaimil ministry
and compromise the new constitution.
1t is not known what steps Turkey
will take but the impression prevails
that European conference will be held
to consider the whole question
Advices obtained in an authoritative
quarter of Sofia are to the effect that
only some of the powers supported the
British proposal for the settlement of
the railroad question. This want of
unanimity among the powers en-
courages Bulgaria to persist in her
present attitude. Varna and other Bull
garian towns are placarded today with
declarations that the moment has now
arrived to proclaim independence, as
otherwise Turkey, ON the strength of
the treaty of Berlin, will demand the
restitution of Eastern Roumelia.

state that Germany associates herself

mitted by Great Britain to the Turkish
and Bulgarian governments.

1t is recognized officially that the Bull

its course of action, except that ia no
event will Germany bring pressure to
bear at Constantinople to Influence the
decisions of the Porte.
The diplomatic representatives Of the
powers generally believe that war
would spell ruin to the new constitu-
tional rule in Turkey, and that the
. Sultan would use war as a pretext for
withdrawing the constitution.

Court Finds It Guilty Of Aiding
in the Mateos Revolution
of 1908
COMPANY MUST PAY FINE
OF FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
Other Damages Were Assessed As
Collateral Punishment - Evidence
Was Secured From Company Itself
Through Treacherous Employe.

Caracas, Sept. 3-After more than
three years of legal procedure the
civil court of the first instance Of
Caracas has delivered a judgment in
the sensational case Of the French
Cable company. The company has
been found guilty of complication in
the Mateos revolution of 1902 and
fined $5,000,000 Other damages also
are to be assessed against it. The
trial has been even more startling
than that against the New York and
Bermudez Asphalt company which al
so resulted in a $5,OO0,0OO fine be-
cause it has reached for beyond the
high officials of the Cable company in
Paris. The evidence mentions in an
alleged compromising way even such
names as that of NJ Delcasse, min
lister for foreign affairs of France at
the time of the revolution. 1t is
Venezuela's claim that the French
government itself extended support
to Gen. Mateos and NJ Quievreaux,
French vice consul at Caracas. was
SO compromised by the documentary
evidence which fell into President
Castro's hands that he committed
suicide in Paris rather than face the
disgrace of the charges from his gov
ernment. The revolutionary suit, as
1t was called, was brought on July
10. 1905, and was based on great
mass of documentary evidence con-
sisting Of part of the archives of the
Cable Office at Caracas which Presi-
dent Castro had secured from q
treacherous employe of the company.
