Doctors All Of One Mind.


ward. They were all of one mind--those
who spoke, at least-saying that the milk
distributed from the Straus laboratory
through the various agencies. such as dis
pensaries and social settlements, had cut
down the death rate. The picture they
drew of the conditions In which some of
the poor Of Southwest Washington live
and die was not q very pretty one, not by
any means as pretty picture as the one
which the Commissioners were looking at
all the time the hearing was in progress.
One of the medical men was Dr. William
]. French. He said he had been in charge
of the dispensary at Neighborhood House
and had seen fifty-five babies come there.
Some of these babies were white and
chastity from their diet Of bad milk, con-
densed milk. sometimes sausage and stale
bread, anything. In fact. that a child

dispensary was able to bring fifty-one to

milk had been given them.
Reduction Of Death Rate.
"Why, the death rate in the southwest
part Of the city has been reduced fully
forty per cent by the dispensing of this
milk, and 1 urge most earnestly that
something be done to make permanent
the distributing of pasteurized milk in the
sections where the deaths among children
are SO frequent"
Mr. Charles A. Pfendef, in charge of
the distributing Of milk at Noel House
for three months, told practically the
same sort OF things that DIR. French has
cited. DR.. William J Howard, who has
ment in Southwest Washington, said that
the distributing Of the milk from the
Straus laboratory had lessened the rate
of infant deaths tremendously In very
short time.
Or Tavlor-Jones woman who has
general supervision of all the babies that
are brought to the Straus plant and Its
agencies, left with the Commissioners a
mass of letters and documentary evidence

cost about $4,000 year-less than q
thousand dollars a month, anu would
save the lives Of 100 babies every month.
which. she said, is a very cheap way of
saving lives.
Dr. Emile Berliner said that the thou
sands of children who died last summer
in the alleys and poor sections OF Wash
ington were killed Just as II milk
train had run over them.

Municipal Control Opposed.

Herbert Carter. dairyman. who fur
nishes milk to the Straus milk labora-
tory, told the Commissioners he believ-
ed the government had no right to en-
fer on the sale or distribution of milk, on,
the ground that it would be underselling
private business men. He advocated the

At the end Of the hearing A. c. Moses
asked each of the Commissioners what
he frankly thought Of the chances OF
Congress granting an appropriation to
carry on the Straus. milk laboratory.

Hundred Healthy Children Pre-.

Congressional Appropriation Desired.
Committee of Citizens Appointed
to Consider the Matter.

Babies, babies babies, a hundred or
them, dressed in pink and blue and white,
in woody clothes and long. fiimsy clothes,
all well behaved and pretty, all washed
to a state of shining perfection-these,
with their mothers and some with their
fathers, descended on the smiling District
Commissioners today as living statistlcs
of the value of pasteurized milk. and es-
pecially as living arguments as to why
the Commissioners should ask Congress
to appropriate money for the maintaining
of the Straus Milk Laboratory in TINS
city. 1t was veritable childrens s cru
sade. There were really hundreu
babies, and all of them sat on mothers
knees right in front Of the Commission
ers in the big boardroom. Some OF the
mothers held up their babies to the rulers
of the city and begged that the sale OF
pasteurized milk be maintained by law
Their story was that their children had
been weak and ill and that the care and
nurturing. the nourishment and the treat
ment received at the hands of the ex-
perts at the laboratory and at the various
straus stations in the city had added
pound after pound of fat baby flesh and
had painted pink cheeks on pallid faces.
Rescued Babies Shown.
Rumor has it that Commissioner john
ston is responsible for the children's
crusade this morning, he having told Miss
Reba J. Hurn, in charge of the labora-
tory, that he would rather see real live
baby who had picked up little matter of
twenty or thirty pounds feeding on pas
teurized milk than to listen to a van
load of statistics and dry scientific state
ments. So Miss Hurn gathered together
her prime exhibits. These children were
snatched from the grave she said.
The mothers testimony was given in
short order. Several Of the women stood
up before the Commissioners and the
stenographer and told how the children
in their arms had thrived after taking
the milk distributed from the laboratory
until finally Commissioner Rudolph. see
ing twenty or thirty more babies come in
at the boardroom door. said he was sure
that the Commissioners had felt the i'm
preston meant to be given by the living
testimony of the children. and asked for
a change Of testimonial diet.

TRAIN CREWS IMPERILED
BY THIEVES WHO ROB CARS.

Edward Cook, a Pennsylvania rail-
road freight conductor, today gave
Judge Simon Hahn, of the Third Pre-
cinct Police Court, a new idea as to the
dangers of stealing coal from freight
cars, when the case of Henry Morgan
wick. 1888 Livingston street, arrested
yesterday by Special officers Roehlein
and Rykert, of the Pennsylvania Com
pany, was called. With Morganwick
was arrested a yongster of IA years,
who, 1t is claimed, was used as a tool
by Morganwick.
Cook told Judge Hahn that coal
thieves are causing great trouble to
the railroads at the present time. The
thieves open the chutes, he said, and
leave the carr like so many skeletons.
They have no consideration for the
lives of the train crew.
THE chutes are left open," said
Cook, land any of the crew is liable
to fall through and be ground to pieces
under the wheels and no n would
know how it happened"
The lad arrested with Morganwick
verified this statement, saying he had
fallen through a chute. IF the train
had been going I would have been
Killed." he told the Judge.
Morganwick was held for the grand
Jury, and it is probable that a charge
of malicious injury to property will be
preferred against him.

Brigade Is HopeIessIy Split Into
Two Factions and Bitter
Controversy Is On.

The members of the fire department
OF the Silver Lake section of BelieviIle
are now hopelessly split as a result OF
a meeting of that company, which was
held last night. Twenty-Five out of
forty-fve men present were selected to
form the company.
Most of those selected are followers of
Justice of the Peace Joseph icarisi,
chief of the brigade, and Postma ster
Jeraldo Maioran, of Silver Lake, who
now declares that he is going to take
the men who were not selected as mem
bers at last nights meeting and form
a separate company, and erect a new
ire-house on Belmont avenue. The
present headquarters is on Nickel
street.
When the meeting was called by
Vicarisi the forty-five present were en-
rolled as members but when the
chief called for a drill only wenty-
hv responded. Postmaster Maioran
n Antonio Steafenelli were among
o who refused to participate In the,
drill.
The latter two have been the most
prominent members Of the organiza-
ton, and now they are no longer mem
bers.
Steafenelli declared that the fire
house had been built by him. and that
he also owned it. He said that he vas
going to cause the eviction of the fire
men from the building.
Maioran accused vicarisi of .stryinz
to run" the affairs of the fire depart
ment the same as h conducted his
WI private business. vicarisi denied
this and rotly retorted that If Maioran
did not like the way things were being
conducted in the ranks of the asso-
citation that he could leave the meet
Ing and also sever his connection with
the company.
AT times things waxed so warm that
It was thought the police would have to
be called.
