Worchester Plan Completely
Cures 200 Employees
to Bear Expense.

Worcester. Mass. April 1.-The cam
paign inaugurated in Worcester coun-
~ twenty-eight months ago for the
conquest of tuberculosis among wage
earners. through an agreement among
merchants and manufacturers TO pro-
vide curative treatment. has had such
convincing results, according TO DR..
Melvin G.. Overlook. state medical in
spector for the Worcester district, that
the movement has now spread
throughout New England and to states
as far west as Ohio. Similar expert
mentS hawke also been tried in Japan
and Bulgaria.
Records kept by DR.. Overlook show
that since November 1908, when the
first systematic work began. the wage
earning abilities OF more than 200
working people. most of them factory
girls, have been restored and the tu-
berculosis overcome.
By the agreement" the subscribing
members bind themselves voluntarily
to pay the charges at sanitaria for a
probationary period of thirteen weeks,
or longed. for any employee who has
fallen victim to Tuberculosis. The
movement now embraces 100 mer-
chants and manufacturers employing
1900 900 persons.
The first great fact demonstrated
according to DR.. Overlook, was that
consumption was durable. a widely
disputed point until the first subjects
of the movement had been declared
cured. Not all the patients have been
cured, but the 200 cases treated sue
cessfully represent about IS per cent
of all who have been discharged from
treatment to date.
Some 400 employees are now in var
ious sanitaria or have been sent to
their homes for treatment at the eX
pense of their employers.
The seventh international congress
against tuberculosis. to be held in
Rome next September, has requested
DR.. Overlook to exhibit there data and
facts in connection with the move
ment. The exhibit will be printed in
seven languages and will give to the
plan worldwide publicity.

IN POISON PEN" CASE
Woman Accused of Causing a Scandal
by Letters Goes Free-Verdiet
Soon Secured.

Philadelphia, Dec. 1.-THE jury in the
case of Miss Harriet Dewitt of Easton,
charged with welding the mysterious
poisoned pen" which caused scandal
in church circles by reason of the re-
ceipt of hundreds of seurrilous anony-
nous letters, rendered a verdict of not
guilty yesterday afternoon.
The court ruled out the governments
attempt to introduce samples of Miss
Dewitt's handwriting, whereupon the
prosecution abandoned the case and Il
verdict of not guilty was ordered by
the court.
Miss Dewitt was charged with deposit
ing df causing to be deposited in the
United States mails obscene letters.
The letters were penned during pc
riod of about ten years. Their partieu-
lar mark was Rev. Elmer f. Snyder,
pastor of Christ Evangelical Lutheran
church. Easton. All the letters were
printed, some covering eight to ten pages.
During the ten years defamatory let
ters were received by married men and
their wives, young brides and innocent
girls. Postal inspectors were long on
the case and finally last August they
decided to arrest Miss Dewitt
Miss Dewitt was accompanied to court
by her father and mother. She was
quietly dressed. She is of slight build
and is a little more than thirty years
old.
Rev. Mr.. Snyder was the first witness.
In the ten-year period he said he re-
ceived, he thought, 200 or 300 anonymous
letters. all of an improper nature

toward you the last year or SOP he was
asked.

fed, Miss Dewitt Kissed at him as he
passed down the street. He said she
also acted insultingly toward his wife.

Washington, Dec. l2.--Leonidas Mer-
rift of Duluth, whose testimony was the
sensation of the investigation by the
Stanley steel committee, has returned to
Washingttl to give the committee fur.
Their details which, he says, will be still
more striking. He declares the revela-
tions he will make about the dealings Of
Mr.. Rockefeller and the Rev. Mr. Gates
with him will be startling, and that
he is provided with documents to prove
everything he says.
Mr.. Merritt arrived In Washington
Immediately after the publication of the
Rockefeller and Gates letters, and called
upon Mr.. Stanley. The interview was
brief. To-day Mr.. Merritt will make
public the details of other peculiar bust
ness transactions in which, he says, Mr..
Rockefeller was concerned.
IT didn't try to make my testimony
sensational, when I appeared before the
Stanley committee" he said yesterday,
'sbut | can give some that will be. OF
course, | know that Mr.. Rockefeller and
Mr.. Gates will use the retraction
signed l6 years ago. They paid S525, 900
for it, and they are not likely to forget
it. But the people can hardly under.
stand how man may be harried by
men of that type until he is ready to do
almost anything.
~ know that the combination which
I am going after is the biggest in the
world. was the one who introduced in
evidence my own retraction, by the way.
I didn't leave it for Rockefeller to do.

letters in the newspapers / notice that
Mr.. Rockefeller makes one false state
ment, even in such a short letter. He
says he declared my statements false
TO years ago both in sworn testimony
and upon discrimination As a mat
ter of fact, he didn't appear in person
at the hearing. He sent written state
ment."
Mr.. Merritt did not appear to be ex-
cited over the refusal of Rockefeller and
Gates to testify. anyhow, it was the
first time Mr.. Rockefeller has ever been
Smoked ont enough to come back with
an answer" he said, with sort of
grim satisfaction.
