TO WAR ON TYPHOID.
President Roosevelt Asked to Inaua
 gurate National Campaign.


 Washington, April 10.-"Water poi soning." as he terms the almost uni versal practice of dumping raw sewage into the streams of the country, will be made national issue if Presideat Roosevelt acts upon the suggestion of Edward Hatch, IT., of New York. MT. Hatch is chairman of the New York Merchants association pollution com mittee, which is conducting a vigorous campaign against the defilement of state waters and of the Hudson river and New York bay in particular by ex- isting and proposed systems of drain age, two of which, the Bronx valley and the Passaic valley trunk sewers, the one in New York, the other in New Jersey, would eventually discharge 600,000,000 gallons of filth into New York harbor every twenty four hours.
 Mir. Hatch's letter contains strong statements as to the loss of human life from primitive methods of sewage dis posal. The writer of the letter says "the government is doing nothing to save the 35.000 lives which are aunu- ally sacrificed to typhoid fever-a pre- ventable disease, as physicians agree because of the habit of American peo. pie drinking diluted sewage; nothing to prevent the 350,0o0 cases of this dread disease which every year in- wolves incalculable expense and suffer. ing, even when death does not result. Millions are spent annually upon the dredging of our rivers and harbors, q vast proportion of which expendltuu would be unnecessary if the solid filth of the cities were not dumped into our navigable waters"

WAS BURNED AT SEA.
Authentic Information Regarding
 the Ship Arthur Sewell.

Philadelphia, April 10.-Authen- tic information to show that the ship Arthur Sewell which sailed from this port for Seattle on April 8, 1907, with cargo of coal, was burned at sea, was brought here yesterday by George Baker, one of the crew. Baker, who is a Hawaiian, with Charles Dixon and Second Mate Weinberg, are, so far as known, the only survivors. Baker came here from New York, where he ar rived "Wednesday on the German Lloyd steamship Kronprinzessin Ce- ellie, a stoker. He says the Sewell was burned shortly after rounding Cape Horn, the coal having fired apparently by spontaneous combus- tion. The ship was in command of Captain Gaffrey, and carried a crew of 26 men. Baker says that on the night of September 8, flames broke out in the hold of the vessel and that Captain Gaffrey ordered the small boats lowered.
 While the starboard boat was be- ing lowered by Second Mate Wein- burg, assisted by Baker and Dixon, the fastening broke and the boat with it's three occupants drifted to the southward ill the darkness. As long as the three men could see the fire grew brighter and there is lit tie doubt that in a short time the vessel was destroyed and the re- mainder of the crew lost.
 For two days the small boat drifted about on the ocean no one knew where, the craft being with out compass or sail. On the third day a Norwegian bark, supposed to have been the Sydenham. bound from Callao to Newcastle, N. s. w., was sighted and she picked up the three men.

SCRATCHED MATCH, ARRESTED.
Would Not Have Been so Had Nicola
 Used Trousers.

New Haven, April 10-"Johnny on the spot" Policeman John Gilligan made another arrest in police head quarters yesterday afternoon. This time it was Nicola Ranalli, who was the unfortunate but daring offender and his crime was that he scratched | match on the newly painted and handsome walls of the police station. This desecration of the building was more than Policeman Gilligan could stand and he hustled him down stairs and charged him with injury to public property.
 The interior of the police building has just been gone over and the walls of the corridors, like the others, given a surprise in the form of a coat of bright paint. They looked so strange and good after ten years of accumu- lation of dust that the policemen Ob- ject to anyone even marring them with a finger tip. Hence when Gilli- gan say Ranalli strike a match on the wall leaving long brown scratch af- ter it he promptly pulled him in.

VANDERBILT DIVORCE
Wife to Get Absolute Separation
 From Alfred GWynne.
FORMAL DEFENSE IS PUT IN.
Only Hitch Over Question of Money SettIement-EIeven Witnesses Heard by Referee, but Correspondents Did Not Appear.

New York, April 10-A recommends, tion that Mrs Ellen French Wander bilt be granted an absolute divorce from Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt will be handed up to Supreme Court Jus tice O'Gorman next. Monday by Ref cree David Mcclure. Lawyers con cerned in the suit think that Justice OGorman will order an interlocutory that after the usual three months Mrs. Vanderbilt will be permitted to resume her maiden name and remarry.
 It became known in spite of the secrecy thrown over the case that none of the correspondents named by Mrs. Vanderbilt was called to testify Elev- en witnesses were examined, the prin- cipal one being the first butler in the Vanderbilt home. One of the core spondents named is comic opera star. Another is young Frenchwoman, re. siding in America, who is known chief ly through her fondness for fast auto mobiles and high stepping horses. Mrs. Vanderbilt did not appear, her deposi tion being presented
 Only Formal Defense Made.
 Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt interposs ed only formal defense. The only hitch was over the question of money settlement for Mrs Vanderbilt. The original proposition made by Wander bilt was to settle on his wife securi- ties which were worth $1,5O0,OO0 two years ago. Their present value is only $S00,000
 This proposition was rejected by lawyers for Mrs. Vanderbilt, and deadlock ensued. Another proposition has been discussed, which contem- plates the settlement of at least $2,- 100000 in gilt edged securities.
 A story gained credence that Mrs. Vanderbilt's lawyers were holding out for $l0,000,000. Alfred Gwynne Van- derbilt was the residuary legatee under the will of his father, the late Cor nelius Vanderbilt and his share was estimated at S40,000,000. Of this sum he was forced to give several millions to Cornelius Vanderbilt, who was cut off by his father with small sum be- cause of his marriage to Miss Wilson.

NAVY CREW TROUBLES
REASON FOR THE ACTION.
Too Much Time Required to Rosu IN
intercollegiate Regatta.

The reasons for the refusal of the Naval
Academy authorities to permit the n1idshipmen
to send crew to the intercollegiate regatta at
Poughkeepsie this year. which told exclu-
svely in The Tribune yesterday. have developed
That the Navy crew finished third last year in
the intercollegiate regatta did not affect the
stand Of the academy authorities, at all. it is
said. II they had won the race It is believed that
their position this year would have been Just
what 1t is now.
The authorities think that the crew should
not be permitted to take so much time from
their studies and practical instruction. They
|. hold that a boat race is not important enough
to keep squad Of. say, twenty uidshiprnen
from duty for practically ten days. They point
cut that last year the first and second crews did
not embark on the practice cruise. but were held
at the academy until few days before the race.
when they were sent to Poughkeepsie, the
suit being. in effect that they lost considerable
time which should have been devoted 10 their
duties as nlfdshipmeu-
On the other hand. advocates OF sending the
middies to Poughkeepsie argue that, while the
crews were at Annapolis and until they left
there for the scene Of the race, they were put
through a course of training and instruction
that was fully as valuable TO them as any they
would have received on board ship. They argue,
further, that last year the second class was kept
at the academy throughout the summer for
practical instruction in steam, while the first
class went on q cruise. AS the fourth. or
"plebe." class is also kept at the academy
throughout the summer. with the exception of
short cruises in Chesapeake Bay, only members
of the first class affected il any material
way by the race. To summarize, they argue
that in reality the men who go to Poughkeepsie
lose only the few days which they spend there
from their duties
The question of expense is another one which
it is said may have affected the decision Of the
authorities. The Navy Department solved this
last year by ordering the members Of the first
and second crews to Poughkeepsie. The authori-
ties hold however, that this is not expense
which the government should bear.
The brigade OF midshipmen. however, would
be glad 10 do away with this objection, should
the opportunity be given, by bearing all the ex-
| penses involved themselves. AS 1t is each mid
shtpman subscribes about s12 each year to the
support of athletics
Rowing enthusiasts were surprised by The
| Tribune's story announcing the decision of the
| academy authorities, and hope expressed
| that permission might still be granted. There
| was considerable speculation to whether the
President would intimate to the authorities any
desire his part that the niddie5 might nave
another chance on the Hudson.
