EAST RIVER HOMES
 FOR THE TUBERCULoUS.
PhiIanthropic Experiment to Be Tried
 in New York City.

New York, March 30.-An experiment to check the spread of tuberculosis in crowded centers of population without removing the persons affected to hos pitals or sanatoriums is to be tried in New York by the Association for the Improvement of the Poor This be- came known tonight when the associa- ton announced that it had leased for three years a section the ''Easft Rjv- CT homes" known as the Vanderbilt tenements, containing A apartments. Into each department it is proposed to move a family which has been reduced to dependency because of tuberculo- sis.
 Adequate medical attendance for the person affected. competent nursing, freedom from worry, fresh air and sunshine and room for segregation are means by which the association hopes to prove that the spread of the white plague" can be checked and cures can be effected in the most crowded sec tion of a great city
 An open air school will be provided for the children suffering from the dis ease, and after cures have been achiev- ed the families will be moved into oth- CT homes and the supervision will be continued until it is assured that the cure is permanent and the family is self-suppOrting.

When lie arrived he found that he should be taken to the Backus hospital and the ambulance was called there and brought him to the institution at about o'clock
 At the hospital Dr. Kimball trephined his skull, but stated that the fracture, which was at the base of the brain, was of such a nature that his condi- ton is very serious and the chances for his recovery are doubtful. It is also probable that he has suffered some in ternal injuries.
 The collision tore up the track for some distance and completely blocked the line. The engine on the second train was well used up in the smash The wreCker was sent up to clear un the line but worked well into the night on the job.
 The trains which usually pass at Yantic about $50 transferred their passengers about the wreck, making about an eighth of a mile for the peo- pie t9 walk
 The trainmer escaped injury by jumping when it was seen that a col lision was inevitable and barring a sprained knee by an engineer there were no other injuries.

Supt. Guyer assured the girls that the foreman would be re- lived of his duties temporarily, until matters were investigated. The condi- tion was accepted by the girls.
