last evening that Ralph Gamble, last
years captain Of the cinder path squad

George Washington University Law
School and viii represent the downtown
university on the ciuder path this season.
Gamble is the son Of Senator Gamble,

He is one OF the best short distance
runners ever developed at Princeton, and
his work has caused comment in athletic
circles all over the country.
In meets held in this city last year
Gamble was consistent point winner
In the Georgetown meet he was an easy
winner In the dashes over the pick OF

MAY MEAN NATURALIZATION.
Purchase of Equitable By Morgan May
 Cause Change.


 New York, Dec. 3-The purchase of the majority of the stock of the Eouitable Life Insurance Society by J Pierpont Morgan, move of vast im- port to the financial world because of the virtual passing of control of near ly half a billion dollars of assets and the domination of two. large trust companies. is believed in Wall street today to foreshadow a still more im- potrant move-the naturalization of the Equitable.
 The naturalization phase of the Equitable purchase by Mir. Morgan from Thomas F. Ryan was generally discussed today but no definite in' formation was obtainable. Former Justice Morgan J. O'Brien. one of the Equitable trustees declared that the present system whereby the stockhold- CTS and policy holders joined in the election of directors was not desir- able, as the responsibility of control could not now be fixed on either the stockholders or the policy holders.
 T am sure that naturalization of the company would be to its inter- est" said MT. O'Brien.
 William Hotchkiss, state superinten- dent of insurance, said today that the complete naturalization of the Equit- able has been the subject of considera- ton for some months.

DESCRIBES FALSE SCALES.
DEPUTY SURVEYOR RICHARD < PARR TAKES STAND.
Tells of Finding Concealed Spring and Claims Attempt Was Made
 to Bribe Him to Si-

New York, Dec s.-Following a demonstration by the experts as to the workings of the alleged trick scales on the Williamsburg sugar docks. Deputy Surveyor Richard Parr, the man behind the original sugar stand today in the Circuit Court and told what he knows aheut the six former employees of the American su- gar Refining Company, now on trial.
 The defendants are charged with conspiracy to defraud the government out of huge sums of sugar duties. Special Federal Attorney Stfmson said today that the government side of the case could not be completed before Tuesday next unless the court should decide to sit tomorrow. Parr told how he had raided the Williams burg docks on November II, 1907. His story of the discovery of the trick scales, familiar as 1t now is, lost nothing in the .re-telling. He de- scribed the manenr in which the ma nipulators. by means of steel rod. pushed through concealed hole, were able to make the scales record less than the real weight while the weigh ing for the purpose of computing the duty was in progress.
 The most dramatic moment thus far in the trial came when Parr detailed his discovery of the steel spring which manipulated the scale. He had ob- served Kehoe one of the defendants. stooping over in a peculiar position. he said. and began an investigation. Feeling down the wooden stanchion he felt foreign substance on the scale, and, lighting a match. discov- cred the steel sprin.

 |" This thing must be fixed up.'
 T said there was no fixing up to be done. Spitzer said that we were all Masons and this would make trouble for everyone around. I said that could not help 1t; they had made the trouble themselves. He said I should could name my own price. He said he had already fixed others the same way and would sooner cut his arm off than give any one away. told him Masonry had nothing to do with this.
 Later I met Spitzer on the string pier. He said I was a fool not to take the money and lose the spring. He said: The offer is good yet. if was no chance. I had the iron in
 The witness described his visit to other scale houses, where he found Coyle and Hennessy working as check CTS.
 He inspected the scales and there found holes In the stanchion but no wires.
 Parr described a test of the scales without the false springs and how he found them weighing two pounds short on the thousands. He was closely cross-examined by the de- fense.

TRASH BOXES MAY BRING
 ABOUT CLEANER STREETS

As part of the general scheme of rejuvenation in the city's sanitary de- partment. 1t Is proposed by several members of the City Council backed by Mayor Gunter and the Board of Health. to place trash sboxes at con yenfent corners about the city within the fire limits and pass ordinances compelling persons to put waste pa per, fruit peels and other waste stuffs in them rather than throwing 1t about the streets.
 It is urged in furtherance of the plan that all large cities of the coun- try and many smaller cities provide such boxes and compel the observance of ordinances requiring waste paper to be put In them. Attention is also called to the present state of Mont gomery streets in this particular.
 The Council Committee on Sanita- ton is now at work drafting ordi- nai1ces covering this matter and sev- eral types of boxes are under consid- eration. It is the intention of the ad- ministration to give the trash box system a trial.

DATA ABOUT PELLACRA
UNOFFICIAL COMPILATION FROM HEALTH BOARDS RECORDS.
Causes And Conditions of The Disease Are At Variance In Instances,
 According to Statements

AFG AN vaEh4mCC hA AAes@.~SAy
 According to Statements
 Made.
 During the nine months from Janu- ary 1 to October 1, 1909. peHagra claimed fifty-five victims in Alabama. according to an unofficial compilation from the books of the state health de- partment.
 The disease effected the most of Its ravage among the negroes. thirty four of the black race having suc- cumbed. Twenty-one of the victims were white people.
 That the use of cornbread is con- ducive to the spread of pellagra Is a conclusion that may be drawn from the fact that thirty-eight of the fifty five victims were habitual users of cornbread The thirty-eight also were persons in poor circumstances and lived in unsanitary surroundings.
 Among the others. however. were several victims who lived in the best surroundings and were in prosperous circumstances, thus offering a refuta- ton to the theory that only the in- digent are susceptible.
 Several cases of pellagra are under observation of the state department Of health in the effort of the official to clear away some of the mystery that surrounds the disease. An of- ffcial report on pellagra will be is- sued by the department before long.
