DOUBTS IT IS MENINGITIS
DR.. Langfeld Thinks Epidemic at
York is Some Other Disease.
HEsITATEs TO GIVE OUT SERUM
Has DIstributiOn of the Remedy
Sent out from Rockefeller
Institute in New York for
This Part of Country.

Several young people in the vicinity Of
York, Neb., are suffering from an epidemic
of what the doctors there say is the deadly
cerebro-spinal meningitis, but what DR..
Millard Langfeld OF Omaha says is prob
ably a spinal trouble mVch less dangerous,
and the dispute as to the exact nature OF
the disease is causing trouble in the dis
tribution of the newly discovered serum
supposed to be cure for meningitis. The
serum is the discovery of DR.. Simon Flex-
ner of the Rockefeller Institute, in New
York, who has appointed DR.. Langfeld as
distributor for this part OF the country.
As all the facts in regard to the remedy
are not known as yet It is being distributed
freely by the institute to accredited physi-
clans, but only when 1t is used in pre-
scribed manner. The purpose of this re-
striction is to accumulate enough data by
careful investigation so that the real action
of the serum can be ascertained.
For three months there have been ire
quent cases in the state OF some spinal
trouble, which were diagnosed as menin-
gifts. Doctors wrote to DIR. Langfeld. but
he withheld the serum according to in
structions because the diagnoses had not
been made in the prescribed manner and
the remedy could not be allowed to go out
for other diseases.
Referred 20 Drss;Lansfeld. -.-
DIR. Frank c.. Snyder of York wrote to
Dr. Flexner asking for some of the serum
and was referred back to the Omaha physi-
clan. But DR.. Langfeld insisted that lac
had no proofs that the disease was really
meningitis. Now, It is said, that some one
in York is selling quack concoction which
he claims TO be the serum.
Dr. Langfeld says the mistake is being
made In confusing meningitis with another
infectious complaint known as anterior
polio-myelitis, which also affects the spine
There has been an epidemic OF this spread
ing westward from New York in the last
three years and in a form with which most
physicians are unfamiliar. 1t is OF a type
that affects the brain as we'll as the spine
and attacks adults as we'll as children. In
New York there was a mortality of 81 pei
cent in 1000 cases.
For this disease the Flexner serum IL
absolutely useless and Dr. Flexner will hold
the supply of that remedy until the state
health inspector takes some action to de-
! termine exactly the nature of the attacH
in York or until the doctors there max,

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
wAvERINe MARKET.
Alternating Declines and Advances
Small Net Price Changes.

New York April 21.-Extrene con-
fusion of the speculative temper was
caused by the action Of the stock mar
ket during the earlier part of today,
end the result was a declining partici-
patton IN the dealings by the profess
sional traders and the adoption of a
waiting attitude to see what the mys-
FERROUS movements might portend.
Suspicion of a nanipuatiy purpose in
some of the most obvious movements
increased the feeling of doubt and I'M
certainty. Alternating declines and adj
vanees kept the market in such Wav-
ering state as is rarely Witnessed.
Some of the early selling OF stocks was
reported as coming openly from
sources that have been credited with
the Leadership, Of the advancing move
ment. The suspicious trading element
saw in this selling a device of the bulls
to take the market away from the
bears and to force the latter to sell
short at low figures with the malign
purpose Of forcing them to cover at
corresponding loss. The bears, instead
OF taking courage from this appear
ance OF liquidation OF long stock, there
fore, took alarm and bought to cover
their short contracts. At the periods
when prices were advancing there was
equal scrutiny Of the selling and signs
that long stock was coming out would
be followed by quick reactions. The
task Of detecting motives of such as
sumed subtIety proved so puzzling as
to lead to no definite conclusions, and
simply Tepressed the activity of the
market. The numerous variations dur
ing the day resulted in only small net
changes in prices at the end of the day.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value S7.712,0O0. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.

New York, April PA monument
to the memory of the late Henry Chad
wick. known as 1.-THE father of base

grave in Greenwood cemetery, Brook
Ign. President Charles II. Ebbitts of

ter of ceremonies. Many prominent
baseball men and friends of Mr.. Chad
wick witnessed the unwilling, which
was performed by Miss Caylor, a
daughter of o. p. Caylor, for many
years a newspaper association of Mr..
Chadwick William c. Hudson, who
worked with Mr.. Chadwick for forty
years as a newspaper man, delivered

After witnessing a game of cricket
about fifty years ago in Hoboken Mr.
Chadwick stopped on his way home to

as FOUNDERS. The two games gave
him the idea from which was evolved

AS a writer for the Brooklyn Daily

He was greatly esteemed because of

in the personnel of the team of 1908
have been made, as all the old players
with the exception of one or two have
been engaged for the season Of 1909.
Raymond in left field appears to be
in fine condition, but with a little
flesh worked off will take care of that
territory in his usual form. Neveaux
in center and Leach at right will take
care Of everything that comes that
way. With Hogan at third that place
is well taken care of. Dion will be
given a chance at second and as things
look now it was a wise move on the
part Of the manager and with old re-
liable Joe on first base that will be
well taken care of. Driscolb the new
man at short, has shown that he win
eat up everything that comes down
that way.
The pitching staff, Barry ard Lives
", will divide the honors between
them, as Barry shows up good and
strong and LiVesly has plenty of speed
to burn. Goven, who is to do the
backstOp work. has shown the genu-
Inc old cranks that he has taken good
care of himself during the winter and
has blOssOmed out in the spring with
a good strong wing. and the fellow
who will steal second base on Goven
will have to do some pretty fast sprint
ing.
As the boys have placed strong
confidence and good will in Manager
Farrell. next Saturday afternoon the
race for the pennant will be on and let
everybody turn out and give the boys
a good sendof.
Wauregan is fortunate IN having
Manager Edward J. Farrell to care for
the interests OF that team He knows
the game as few men in these parts
know it. and If the necessity requires
can don a uniform and fill about any
place that may need his services. No
one will have anything on Farrell as
a manager in this league Lacking
the scrappy tendencies, he is the NC
Graw" of these parts a hustling, en-
thusiastic aggressive player, manager,
capable and certain to see that every
man and team gets a square deal. and
that his town gets the best baseball
his team can give. Under Farrell,
Wauregan will make a great race for
the flag.

Two Man Tournament Going Fine.

At the Rose alleys, where the two
man team tourney has started this
week, there is constant shifting on
the blackboard of the six teams that
are in the qualifying list, with the
scores going higher each day, until
now all are over the 500 mark. The
handicap feature gives everyone a
chance and the contest is taking on in
good shape. The weakest roller en-
tering can get a handicap of as, which
is a big addition when added to a
good score, and gives practically every
man who teams up with another a
chance to cop one out of the three
money prizes.
The six teams now qualified as the
following: Murphy (sc) and Christie

PUBLIC UTILITIES BILL
ORDER OF DAY IN HOUSE.
After Much Discussion is Carried Over
Until This Morning.

Hartford, April 21.-zAt noon today
Speaker Banks took up the order of
the day, the discussion Of the bill for a
public utilities commission.
Statement by Chairman Burnes.
Mr.. BuFnes of Greenwich, as chair
man Of the committee on the judiciary,
said that it was the unanimous opinion
of the committee that this bill"
should not at this time become a law.
He would simply give his own posi-
ton. 1t certainly seemed to him that
before the drastic measure be passed
he should be certain that the people of
the state wished the bill and demand
ed it. Were the common people in
favor of the passage of the bill? To
be sure, it was claimed by members
of several business mems associations
at the hearing that their associations
were in favor of the measure. Later,
members Of several Of these associa-
lions appeared and said that in their
particular associations there was little
interest for the bill and considerable
opposition to the measure.
Mr.. Burnes went in detail into the
matter of vote at a meeting Of the
association in New London and as
serted that members voting for it
didn't know the contents.
After speaking some time Mr.. Burnes'
voice weakened and he appeared to be
in some kind of distress. He begged
the Indulgence of the house. He sank
into his seat and in a short time rose
to leape the hall.
Commission Badly Needed.
Mr.. Chandler of Rocky Hill rose to
defend the ball. He said that it was
unfortunate that the bill had lost its
leader.
He said that it was true that the
people were in favor of the bill, but
the people were unOrganized and I'M
disciplined. The opponents were high
ly organized.
Mr.. Chandler com batted the argu-
ment that the bill would cut into the
small towns. In that case It must cut
in some particular way. Would some
one explain in what way? IF there were
peril in delegating power to three or
five men. there was also peril in dele
earnestly asserted by Mr.. Chandler
that a commission was badly needed.
The trolley lines are capitalized al
$124,000 a mile, and in ten years the
people would suffer extremely from
that fact.
1t had been argued that the com
mission would be an experiment
.Whyl" Mr.. Chandler exclaimed, "the
interstate commerce commission is not
that the railroad oonnnissien in Mas
kachIsetts was not an experiment, and
yet.'it was about the kind Of commits
sion asked for.
1t was DOGGY man" argument to
say that stockholders were barred
from serving. Mr.. Chandler said that
he would prefer that clause cut out,
but it was easy for a governor to select
from men not financially interested in
the corporations affected
Mr.. Chandler said that nearly all OF
the matter in the bill was a recodifica-
ton of laws existing. The bill would
give the power of auditing the books
and a regulation Of the power of emf
nent domain. Massach\ etts' COM
mission had not been admired by op
ponents of the bill. Good people in
Massachusetts would as soon think of
abolishing their government as the
railroad commission.
Mr.. Chandler stated that it had beer

said that members of the Judiciary
committee saw merit in part of the
bill. The stricken leader of the state,
winner of the issue in the political
campaign, had favored this great pop
ular improvement.
Motion to Recommit.
Mr.. Chandler moved that the
measure be Nreeommitted to the COM
mittee on the judiciary. Such a vote
would be one of confidence in that
committee, because it would show that
the house believed that the committee
had ability to vote something besides
no"
Mr.. Parker of Hartford moved that
the matter be postponed and made the
order of the day next Wednesday. The
speaker ruled that this took prece-
dence of Mr. Chambers motion.
Mr.. Chandler then inquired whether
there was any motion which he could
make which would give opportunity
for the gentleman from New London
(Mr. Whiton) to introduce a motion
which would be acceptable to all in
terests.
Mr. Wilton of New London second
ed Mr.. Parker's motion,
Continued to Thursday.
Mr.. Chandler said that he had been
in conversation with the gentleman
from New Haven (Mr Bishop at that
moment and that he desired to extend
courtesy to the chairman of the COM
mittee and would second Mr.. Parker's
motion.
Mr.. Burnes acknowledged this cour-
tesy and said that he would be able to
go ahead Thursday, as it would be bet
ter than to go ahead next week, when
the force of the arguments made to-
day would be forgotten.
Speaker Banks said at the adjourn
ment that the matter would be taken
up at the meeting Thursday.
