NEW YORK, July 1z.-Nurses in the
Kings County hospital have found thou
sands Of dollars in cash, jewelry, ana
bank books, concealed in the garments
Of Elizabeth Donegan, a servant who
w1s found starving to death on the

A policeman was attracted to a thin.
half-cIad and shivering little old woman
in side street late last night and took
her to the station. There an ambulanca
doctor said she was i'll from starvation
and sent her to the hospital.
She protested as much as her strength
would permit, against the taking, Of her
clothing from her. In one garment the
nurses found $3.50 in gold ana silver
money, ten large unset diamonds. a gold
watch and chain and other Jewelry. TO
another garment was sewed $500 in Bills
and two bank books representing deposits
Of more than 5000.

AMERICA TO GUARD
WELFARE OF BABIES
Academy of Medicine Plans Cam
paign to Instruct Parents How
to Care for Children.

BALTIMORE. Nd, July 12-Plans to
prevent the modern slaughter of the in
nocents by 'instructing the people of the
United States in the proper care that
should be given babies are being foEmn-
lated by the American Academy of Medi-
cine. As an initial step in the move
ment a conference is to be held in New
Haven next November, at which leading
physicians, sociologists and educators
from all parts of the country will join
forces in a study of the problem. The
general subject of the conference will
be THE Prevention of Infant Mortality"
and the four aspects under which 1t Will
be considered are the medical, philan-
thropic, institutional and educational.
1t is suggested that first Of all, the
sources of each city's milk supply may
be investigated for the sake of the ba-
bies' health, and the sanitary inspection
of tenements by health officers and Wis
iting nurses may also be undertaken.
In going over the infant death rate or
the country 1t is found that Chicago is
the second city in this respect. The city
has a record of 1881 deaths of babies UNI
der two years old out of a total mortality
of 30 19S deaths of all ages.
Among those on the national commit
tee ready to direct the work OF saving
the infants are Miss Jane Adams, of
Chicago; DR.. Charles r. Henderson, pro-
lessor of sociology of the University OF
Chicago, and others prominent In social
and medical work in this country.

TsETSE FLY CLEARED

Physicians Find Dreaded Sleeping

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE tsetse As,
the insect that jumped from scientific oh
security to public notice on the eve Of
Theodore Roosevelt's departure for A.
RIGA, received a certificate of Character
yesterday at the Rockefeller institute DR.
S. J. Meltzer, one of the affiliated spez
cialists, announces that the dreaded
sleeping sickness Is carried by the rsetss
fly only incidentally; that is. from one
already infected to fresh subject, as tina
common house fly may carry typhoid
His bite is not venomous. says the ply
sIcian, while the real offender Is the
only disease germ known to have the
power of locomotion-the trypanesum.
This microscopic organism has the dis
ease bound up in its system and has been
exclusively used recently by the Rocke-
feller institute in all the inoculations Of
mice.
The institute is at work with a new
serum for the cure of the sleeping sick
Aess, for which it has high hopes, but
no announcement of it's nature will Be
made before next winter.
Since the sleeping sickness fiT5t made
its appearance in Uganda in 1901, two
hundred thousand have died by it In one
district alone, and its toll in the Congo
Free State has been almost unbelievably
heavy.
