SUIT FOR $4,000
BY TYPHOID MARY
Not Germ Carrier and Never
Had Contagious Disease,
She Says.

New York, December a.-"Typhoid
Mary" the cook who came by that
nickname because of the cases of ty-
phoid fever that seemed to follow her
around from family to family, Is abou,
to sue the city and its Health Depart
ment for $4,000 damages for keeping
her in confinement on North Brother
Island for three years.
Papers Will be served within the
next few days on DR.. Lederle. head OF
the Health Department, and four
physicians. Dr.. Darlington. DR.. Soper
DR.. Park and DR.. Westmoreland. Mary
Mallon Is the name on the complaint
She Is forty years old, and says she has
never had typhoid fever or any other
dangerous disease. She was released
from the hospital last February. and
since that time she has been unable to
follow her trade of cooking, and her
chances of making living have been
greatly reduced. she asserts. She will
attempt to show that she was not the
typhoid germ carrier the city authori-
les have made her out.
The lawyer who will prosecute
Mary's case against the city is the
same ono who appeared for her before
the Supreme Court in 1909. when her
freedom was denied. He IS George
Francis ONeil, OF Beekman Street
and Is specialist IN mcdico-legal
questions. -

"is going to send every cook to jail

ignation of germ carrier 1t won't be

GOLDSMITH do then for his stories about
the cook who rules the house?"

FOUR ARRESTS MADE.
Business Believed to he Concerned In
Mexican Plot.

IheAlcun f1Ot.
Laredo, Tex, December 3.-What Is
believed an important capture of al
legged participants in the Reyista
counter-revolutionary plot was made
at an early hour this morning when
Major Hagadorn, OF the United States
Army and Bquad OF men In civilians
clothes. arrested four men in the act
of crossing the border into Mexico
heavily armed. They were driving q
wagon load of arms and officers equip
ment and leading FIVE horses.
The men arrested are Jose A. Monte
mayor. an alleged chief OF the Reyista
movement; Jose B. Sandoval, another
alleged leader, and formerly director
Of Mexican paper called Don Quixote,
i-Madero in policy; Guadeloupe
Martinez and Manuel H Guerra.
Notwithstanding tho plot alleged to
have been started by General Bernad O
Reyes has been apparently nipped In
the bud authorities are of the opinion
that the capture is an important one,
as all the men arc known to have been
partisans OF Reyes.
Report that squad OF men was
about to cross the border with arms
was heard at United States Army
headquarters last night from secret
service men. and Major Hacadorn, with
Lieutenant Catron. and three other
men, formed an ambuscade and had
little difficulty in apprehending the
quartet at the point Of pistols.
The men arrested declined to make
statements.

The water or the we'll was naturally
hrst suspected. and It was made the
subject OF careful analysis Nothing
was wrong with the water. DR.. Soper
examined the food supply OF the fam

out OF the way. He began to look
Tor eomo peculiar situation. and TO-
cussed his suspicious on the fact that
the family had changed cooks about
three weeks before the fever began.
DR.. Soper then began to Investigate
the record OF Mary Mallon He found
that In 1901 she had been employed at
the home OF Henry GIlsey at Sands
Point. l.. I. The family had eleven
persons in It. of whom seven were
servants. Within q month four OF the
servants were taken with typhoid.
In 1902 Mary was the cook for J..
Coleman Drayton at Dark Hnrbor. Me.
Seven persons out OF nine were taken
I'll within a short time. Three other
instances are set forth where the fever
followed within a short period after
the employment OF the cook In all,
he laid at her door twenty-siX cases
of typhoid. And he added that he had
traced but fragments of her history
during ten years
The physicians of the Health De-
phTtlnent nuVe never Deen aDle TO dis
cover that Mary herself ever had
typhoid. She Is described as robust
woman. and weighing about 100
pounds The doctor suggested that
she undergo an operation. To this she
would not submit. In fact, she always
Insisted that she never gave typhoid to
anybody, but that the water was at
fault.
The casa was adiudgcd one for con-
finement in March. 1907. and Mary,
after a contest of physical strength
with FIVE policemen. was taken to
North Brother Island. In 1909 she was
before tho Supreme Court on writ Of

"Send no more Giants"

DR.. D. K. Pearson of Chicago had
the braius or the luck to get hold of
S., OOO, 900 and the goodness of heart
to give it all away. He completed the
latter task, after % years of patient
labor, on April IA, his 81 st birthday.
And be SAYS he chad more fun giving
the money away than he did in max.
ing it,"
It is the universal testimony of great
piyers, by the way, that it is fun to
wave the magic wand of wealth and
do good to great numbers. DR.. Pear.
son chose educational channels, dis
tributing his means among 43 schools
and colleges. He seems to have had
nc care for the perpetuation of his
name, but to have put his money
where he thought it most needed.
The world is ringing with praise OF
this great benefactor, and rightly so.
He has given q good account of his
stew ardship. Many thousands OF
men aud women will lead richer lives
because he lived, labored and loved.
Still, these vast private benefactions
