STRANGE DISEASE
PUZZLES DOCTORS
PHYSICIANS ENDANGER THEIR
LIVES FOR SCIENCE
Nature of Mysterious MaIady May Be
Determined by Two Men Who
InocuIated Themselves
with Virus

PHILADELPHIA, June 21-For the
sake of medical science and to deter
mine the nature OF the STRAW disease"
which was discovered several weeks
ago among sailors of P. A. B. Widen
er's yacht Josephine, and other harbor
craft, DR.. Joseph Goldberger, an at
tache Of the local marine hospital SER
vice, has gone to Washington with his
arm mass of blisters and small pim-
pies, that the scientists there may
study the strange disease.
Dr. Goldberger was assisted in his
experiment by DR.. James S. Shanger
of the hospital force on contagious dis
eases, who has inoculated himself with
virus from DIR. Goldberger's arm.
Cases PerpIex Physicians
From the time the disease was first
reported the government, state and
city authorities have been interested in
it. In view of the fact that many
cases Of it have been treated as hives
the physicians believe there are MANY
other cases that have not been re-
ported.
Whether the disease is due to fun
gold or other vegetable germ is I'M
known. All that is definitely known of
the strange malady is that a number
of sailors were afflicted with it after
having slept on new straw mattresses.

SAILORS PRIZE
RARE TROPHIES.
MEN ON BATTLESHlP LOUISE
ANA HEAD LIST
GOLDEN CUP FROM BATTEN5URG
HIGHLY APPRECIATED
Commander In Chief Retains 1t, Even
If II Be Won by Tars of
the British
Navy

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Keen Is
the rivalry in the navy for the honor
of winning one or more of the many
challenge cups, the trophies presented
to be contested for in boat rowing
sailing and athletics The battleship
Louisiana holds the majority of the
challenge trophies, and owns outright
a number of others.
The boat crew of picked men of the
Louisiana has beaten every crew that
has opposed it, capturing seventeen
handsome prizes. Sixteen of these are
of silver, ranging from six to sixteen
inches high, all handsomely designed
and engraved.
The most highly priced of all the
navy's trophies now held by the Louisi-
ana is the Battenburg cup of solid gold
Which stands about twenty-slx lnches
hrh. 1t is a challenge cup which was
n sented by the enlisted men of the
h ish cruiser squadron which visited
the United States in 1905, under COM
mand of Prince Louis of Battenburg.
1t Is contested for every three montns
by boats from ships of the Atlanuc
fleet, and ships winning the cup must
defend 1t when challenged
British Tars May Compete
If a ship of the British navy is pres
ent Wlen the race IS IONGu az ihNi'S
ton may be extended to enter the race,
or pull the winner. In the event of d
British ship winning tn race her name
must be inscribed on the cup, and then
the trophy is returned to the COM
mander in chief of the Atlantic fleet
and held by him until again won by
one of the ships of the fleet. The race
for this cup is with a 12-oared cutter
for three miles.
The British cruiser Argyll defeated
the American crews in 1907, but the
Louisiana's crew succeeded in winning
the Gun twice in Australia and once at
Gibraltar against British crews.
The trophies belonging to the Loulsl-
ana are the Callao cup, offered by the
Callao Rowing club and presented TO
the Louisiana's crew by the president
of Peru after race in which there
were four Peruvian entrants and two
American; the Chinese cup, presented
by the Chinese government during the
visit to Annoy: the Thompson cup, pre-
sented by Col. r. M. Thompson, to be
pulled for by the champion boat crews
of the American and Japanese fleets in
Yokohama in 1908; the American cup
for gigs, presented by the Chinese gov
eminent; the Seattle cup for deck
crews: the Seattle cup for engineer
crews, and the Seattle cup for picked
crews, all presented by the city of Sc
attic: the San Diego sailing launch
and the San Diego marine crew cup,
both presented by the city of San
Diego, Cal.

CUSTOMS OFFICERS PLAN

Bauuaue Will Be Sealed After lnspec-
ton and Before 1t Leaves
Wharf

NEW YORK, June 21.--In the hope
of checking the Wholesale smuggling
which was discovered to be in progress
at this port James S. Clarkson, the
surveyor, will appoint 100 additional
special watchmen, and July 1 an order
will go into effect whereby all pack
ages, including trunks, satchels and
boxes, must be corded and sealed after
being examined by the inspectors and
before they can leave the steamship
pier
The watchmen will be employed to
keen their eyes on steamships as soon
as they arrive and until they leave the
port again in order to prevent the low
ering of trunks or other parcels over
the sides of the vessel into small wait
ing boats.
