NO PAROLE FOR GRIMMELL

Not Believed Cured.

Albany, Feb. l0-Unconyinccd that FL.
ward H. Grimmell. a third-term convict in
Clir ton prison, has been cured Of liz
criminal tendencies by surgery. the state
Parole Board has refused 10 parole him
although Governor White before retiring
from office gave the board tho authority by
committing his sentence.

president Of the homeopathic Medical so.
ciety OF New York State, with an assistant
went TO the prison and performed an opera
ton with view 10 restoring GrimmeR 10
his normal state ~ mini.
At a meeting OF the State Parole Board
at Clinton prison last night Grnnefs
case came 40. After Superintendent c. \.
Collins Of the State Prison Department had
questioned the convict for an hour ard
half tho board decided not to parole him.
No evidence was produced that the msn
had been surgically cured. and the board
had no precedent by which to be G'Iiled.
Superintendent Collins said tonight:
The board took the ground that before
releasing the man We should have some re-
port OF q professional nature as 10 his con-
dition. IL seemed to ms that DR.. Wilcox
should have followed up tho case and
visited the man for the purpose OF noting
IL in his opinion there had been charge
in the mans tendencies. But we have ~
ceiyed no such report. and neither Dr. VII
cox nor his assistant has examined the
man since the operation. Having no ptec-
eJent by which TO be guided. we decided
not to parole Grimmeli at this tims. His
brother was at the meeting last night and
upheld our action. '-
Grimmen was sentenced from Buffalo in
1903 for forgery for term OF nine years and
six months He is thirty-four years old.
The case has been watched with much In

State To Be ENLARGED.

All the plans and specifications for the
35-foot channel of the Delaware river
from Philadelphia to the ocean have been
completed and proposals for starting the
work on the Tinicum and New Castle
ranges will be opened on June oath.
Congress has appropriated $50, 900, with
which to begin work. The mud dug
from the channel has to be disposed of
and much will be put on the meadows.
The engineers have hit upon a plan to
fill up the channel now existing between
Chester Island and the New Jersey
shore. By this means it is proposed to
direct the water now flowing there to-
wards the Pennsylvania shore. If this
be carried out, in a very little while Ches-
ter Island will cease to Exist and become
a part OF Gloucester County's mainland.
Plans have also been made to have
mud put on the dupont meadows be-
tween Henby creek and Deep Water
Point. The dredge which dug out Bout
creek and Henby creek the past year is
still in Henby creek and has been engage
ed to throw a bank up on the southwest
side of Henby creek so that the mud
which will be forced onto the meadow
will not flow into the creek.
The Fenton Beach Improvement Com
pany. consisting of business men in Will
mington who bought Firman Fenton's
farm, below Deep Water Point have had.
a dredge blowing sand onto their low
land next to the lighthouse at the mouth
of Penn's Neck Canal. They have had
the land plotted into lots about 20 by 70
feet and hold them for sale at about $40
per foot front. The members Of the Com
pany have selected the choice lots along
the fine beach and some have built cot
tages thereon. f

Few Die From Smallpox.

Smallpox used to be considered a most
dreaded disease because OF its severity
and death causing effects, but of late
years it las grown to be a mild type with
fewer fatalities than other diseases. Be.
cause OF its mildness many did not be-
lieve the outbreak in PENIS Grove last
winter was the genuine smallpox. At
that time it was reported there were
between five and six hundred cases of
mild smallpox in the region of Whining
ton, N. G. A person from that state has
verified the report and that there were
very few deaths.
Now comes the statistics of the Public
Health Service which shows that in
nearly 10000 cases OF smallpox reported
in the United States i'll 1909 there were
only n%inety-two deaths, making the
average mortality rate less than one-half
Of one per cent. That is, there was not
one death in nearly two hundred cases OF
smallpox.
The death rate the past six months
from measles in Philadelphia was greater
than from smallpox.
