VIRUS FOR 2,700 PERSONS
Boy on Board Steamer Main Suspect

PHILADELPHIA, May, 5.-A seven
teen-year-old immigrant boy. suspected
of having smallpox, caused 2,7O0 persons
to be compulsorily vaccinated on the
North German Lloyd steamship Main,
and created much excitement in the
southeastern part of the city last night
and early today.
The Main arrived here yesterday from
Bremen with 1895 immigrants and forty
five cabin passengers
Suspected Smallpox Case.
Three days out from Bremen the boy
was suspected of having chickenpox, and
was landed Tuesday night at the govern
ment quarantine station, at Reedy
Island, In the Delaware river be-
low this city. As the passengers
Were disembarking here yester-
day word came from Reedy Island
that the boy possibly had smallpox.
. The local health authorities took in
stant action, and a strong guard was
thrown about the ship and the dock. No
one was permitted to leave until physi-
clans arrived and began to vaccinate
those caught within the quarantine lines.
Eight hundred immigrants who had
departed on Baltimore and Ohio special
train were intercepted near Baltimore
and brought back to the ship during the
night. and 175 other newcomers were
rounded up in the streets I'm the southern
part of the city and also returned to the
Main. Every one had to submit to vac
cination.
None Escape Vaccination.
The federal quarantine physicians,
aided by doctors from the local bureau
CT health. worked until o'clock this
morning, when the last Of the immi-
grants had been vaccinated. Those who
had to submit to the Finoculation were
the captain of the ship and his crew,
every policeman, longshoreman and Gus
toms officer who was on the ship or dock
when the quarantine was established and
several newspaper men.
All the cabin passengers had left the
ship when the smallpox scare started.
AS most of them lived in this city, they
were traced to their homes and also
vaccinated.
: The quarantine was lifted today The
immigrants left on special trains for the
middle and far west.
Whether the boy in the Reedy Island
quarantine really has smallpox has not
yet been determined by the government
quarantine officers.

SURF MEMS PENSION
Secretary of the Treasury
Makes Plea for Justice.
GREAT PERILs OF SERVICE
More Dangerous Life Than That Of
Soldiers or Sailors Except
in War.

secretary MacVeagh, in answer to a
request from the Senate committee on
commerce, says that the United States is
the only prominent nation in the world
that does not grant pensions to the Off
GERS and men of the life-saving serv-
ice. He takes a strong position in favor
of these pensions, saying that the haz-
ardous work of the men is far greater
than that of men in the army and navy,
except in times Of war.
Extra hazard is incurred by the SOL
der and naval sailor only at intervals
of many years." says Secretary Mac
Veagh, while the perils of the life
savers run through the entire period of
both peace and war. Every enlistment
of the life saver is entered with the
certainty of exposure to extraordinary
danger. while the vast majority of
those who enlist in the army and navy
do SO with scarcely a prospect of incur
ring the dangers of war service"
Discipline Like Soldier.
The Secretary says that the life saver
is subjected to practically the same dis
cipline as a soldier or sailor. He must
stand rigid physical examination to be
admitted to the service. must know the
life of the sea, has constant guard duty,
drills ETC., and his nightly patrol is
one of special hardship and exposure
WnlCn mas no corresponding parallel IN
the life Of soldier or sailor except in time
of war.
Secretary MacVeagh also favors the
proposition contained in the Senate bill
for an increase in pay for life savers.
He says increases have been given the
army and navy and branches of the civil
establishment no more entitled than the
life-saving service He favors definite
increase at the end of five years serv-
ice. thereby recognizing the inequality ex-
listing between a,veteran and an mex
perienceds beginner.
Difficult to Secure Men.
Secretary Macveagh says that It is
growing more difficult each year to Sc
cure enlistments for the life-saving serv-
ice. the best men leaving to find greater
remuneration and less hazardous work.
Increased pay will. be necessary to check
the exodus of men from the service.
Secretary .MacVeagh estimates that IL
the bill submitted to him should be
passed the retirement or pension feature
would cost the government $4,000 a
year, and the longevity increase Of pay
$243 700. The total, he says. rs incon-
siderable in comparison with the saving
of lives and property"

"International Peace" before the Nobel
prize committee today.
The former President of the United

clusion of carefully worked out thesis,
he advocated an International agreement

armaments, especially naval armaments.

eerning the practical possibilities of col

with unusual emphasis. he had difficulty

that the President will heartily back the
