HEALTH OFFICERS
ASK COOPERATION
Several New Cases of Diph-
liberia Reported.

With the announcement that fourteen
new cases Of diphtheria were reported to
the office during the past week, the
health department, in its weekly bulle-
tin, which was issued yesterday after
noon, urges the cooperation of the people
of the District in fighting the disease
At present there are thirty-two such
cases recorded on the books OF the
Offices.
The number of reported cases and the
prevalence Of the disease is altogether
higher than 1t ought to be- reads the
report. "Diphtheria is a preventable dis
ease, and as such should be prevented
1t is far better to prevent disease than
to treat II, either at home or in hos
pitals. During the prevalence of diph-
liberia a simple sore throat should be
considered suspicious and a physician
called at once and a culture taken. The
wise thing is to take no chances. Treat
ment with antitoxin should not be de-
layed in positive cases, and It should be
given in doubtful or suspicious cases.
1T is a well-known fact that those who
are associated with or come in contact
with diphtheretic patient do not always
show symptoms Of the disease, but never
theless often carry diphtheria germs in
the throat. Such persons have diphtheria
within the meaning of the law and are
Quarantfned as such. Those people may
spread diphtheria as well as those who
actually suffer with the disease IL they
are not isolated. Indeed, IT Is a question
whether more cases of diphtheria are not
caused by the well than by the sick.
Early attention and early treatment and
immunizing doses to those who have been
exposed are the means to be used Qn
connection with the isolation of the pa
tieno to prevent the spread Of this dis
ease"

NEW TRIAL DENIED
THIS POLICEMAN
Commissioners AVerse to
, Plea in Cussler Case.

The Commissioners yesterday refused
to grant the petition, filed on November
II by Attorney Chapman w. Fowler, re-
questing a new trial for Policeman Karl
S. Cussler, who was tried on November
13 on a number of counts, found guilty
on all, and recommended to the Commis-
sioners for dismissal.
Mr.. Fowler requested a new trial on
the ground that Cussler was appointed a
member of the force August II. and that
he had not been given sufficient time to
acouaint himself with the police manual
The Commissioners decided that three
months was sufficient time for any po-
liceman to familarize himself with his
rights under the manual
Mr.. Fowler also argued that his client
was not represented at the time by coun-
sci, and therefore did not have an op-
portunity to cross-examine witnesses for
the prosecution. In answer to this point
the Commissioners reply that the ofticer
exercised his privilege Of cross-examining
the witnesses

ALASKAN ''PROBE"
PROBABLY AT END
Taft's Friends Point to La
FOllette's Course.

The; complete collapse Of the so-called
Controller Bay case, against the Taft ad-
ministration came yesterday with the
publication Of letter from Louis d.
Brandeis, Clifford Pinchot's former coun-
sci, and now attorney to Chairman Gra-
ham, Of the House committee that was
investigating Alaskan affairs. Mr.. Bran
deis was asked by the committee to in
vestigate all the papers in the Controller
Bay case and make a report to Chair
man Graham. The substance Of Mr..
Brandeis' report is contained In q single
paragraph, as follows:
Il have made such examination, and
respectfully report that, in my opinion,
no further action by your committee is
required
Mr.. Brandeis adds, however, the opinion
that the elimination from a forest re-
serve of a large tract Of land on Control
Ter Bay was opposed to the best inter
ests Of the people, but find no evidence
of illegality or bad faith on the part of
any government Official"
Mr.. Brandeis declares that the govern
ment has evidently reversed its policy,
as was signalized by the recent an
nouncement of Walter. r. Fisher, Secre-
tary of the Interior, that Richard s.
OF Controller Bay had started all this
trouble, would renounce one Of them.
1t was made apparent very recently
that Senator La Toilette and his friends,
OF whom Mr.. Brandeis is supposed to be
more or less representative, had changed
their tactics In dealing with the Alas
kan problem. A recent issue Of the Sen
ator's magazine contained a copy Of Sec
retary Fishers speech in Chicago, in
which the Secretary outlined his policy
of dealing with Alaska. The speech was
approved by Senator La Toilette.
But the most significant thing in the
Prandeis announcement is not what is
stated in the text of the letter, but what
is left to Inference, and that is that the
''Dick-to-Dick'' scandal has been COM
pletely exploded.
1t was recalled yesterday that La
FOllette's magazine printed the scandal
approvingly, and that the Senator made
the Controller Bay case the subject of
a speech in the Senate on July Is, in
which he attacked President Taft, hint
ing at collusion between somebody in
the administration and some one in
Alaska.
In the light of the collapse of the
case, President Taft's friends are now
pointing to this speech by La Toilette
as fair sample Of his method of stir
ring up sentiment against the President
of the United States.

rushed into the Eighth precinct station
last night and told the desk sergeant she
was walking down Trumbull street north
west, between Sixth street and Georgia
avenue, when a colored man pointed a
revolver at her and took away her pocket
book.
But worst of all was the fact that the
robber merely went through the purse,
took a s. bill, and threw the purse at Ma
bel. Then, she said, he walked away,

Effect of former Treaty.
I873.I885

If these records did not prove
that the former treaty did not
tend to build up Gloucester trade,
Mr.. W. A. Wilcox's annual report
OF the fishing industries. publish
ed in 1887, would dispose of this
contention. Writing two years
after the treaty had ended, this
specialist reports: For twelve
years fishing was carried on un-
der the treaty with much loss
and little profit. With the termi-
nation OF the Washington treaty
with Great Britain, the fishermen
took new courage. and 1886 was
looked on as the turn of the ebb
tide"
This answers the delusion that
Gloucester's prosperity began
because of the former treaty. 1t
began i'll spite Of that treaty.
The position of the fish indus
try is unique For more than
century. and especially in the last
two decades. it has had to fight
diplomatic battles for its life.
Its difference from the rest of
the business interests affected
was that it could figure to deci-
NAL just what would happen. and
acted accordingly. while others
hesitated. Gloucester has been
through these crises so often
that 1t is prompt to put up its
hands in self-defense, and knows
what the dangers arc.

If the proposed agreement
becomes a law

If the proposed arrangement
became a law : it is definitely
known that the following condi-
tons would result: First. that
the American fleet would be
driven out OF competition with
the Canadian in the salt fish in
dustry. The Grand Bankers"
would have to go. Second. the
fresh fish for the American mar
kets would ultimately be caught
by the Canadian feet.
The proof OF this assertion
came accidentally three years ago
by a circumstance which might
almost have been designed as a
proof. Mr. Orlando Merchant of
Gloucester built in that port
fishing schooner named the Gin
tonia. She went up to the Nova
Scotia shore. where she was
much admired. \ Lunenburg
skipper asked permission to copy
her. By the courtesy of owners
and builders the vessel was re-
produced in Nova Scotia ship
yard, even to the loan of the
original moulds. In Lunenburg,
n. S.. the Clintonia (she even
bore the same nance, rugged, fit
ted and ready for sea, cost
=. $1,000. The same vessel in Glou-
cester, rugged and fitted, cost
$4,000.
