TYPHOID FEVER IN
 NEW YORK CITY Health Officer Gives Warm
 ing to the People RIGID INVESTIGATION Forecasts Serious Epidemic if Pre- yentive Measures Are Not Imme- diateIy Adopted Deadly
 as Cholera
RIGID INVESTIGATION

Washington, February 4.-Sounding a warning to New York, that typhus fever deadly as Asiatic cholera, bubonle plague or yellow fever, exists in that city and for casting a serious epidemic if adequate preventive measures are not immedi- ately adopted, pr. John E. Anderson and pr. Joseph Goldberger of the public health service today issued a report iden- tifying "Brilrs disease" and typhus as the one and same malady.
 This conclusion is based on an extended investigation covering a period of six months, in which extensive experiments were made by the use of monkeys, many of which died from being inoculated with typhus germs.
 I've have concluded that the disease described by Brill and known as Brill s disease and the Mexican typhus fever are identical," said Dr. Anderson in his report, and inasmuch as the New York strain is undoubtedly of European origin, we also conclude that the typhus of Flu rope and the 'tabardillos' or typhus of Mexico are the same. This, however, is being generally accepted as true.
 Heretofore "Brill's disease" has been summed up by the following definition:
 Dr. Anderson: An acute infectious dis ease of unknown origin and unknown pathology, characterized by short incu- bstion period of four or five days, a pe- riod of continuous fever, accompanied by intense headache, apathy and protrac- tion, profuse extension erythematous maoule-papular eruption, all about two weeks duration, whereupon the fever ab- ruptly ends either by crisis within a few hours or by rapid lysis within few days"
 For all medical purposes this definition will fit typical cases of typhus fever.

ORDERS BRIDGE SOLD

Montgomery, February 4.-(Special)- Judge Thomas G. Jones of the United States court for the middle district of Alabama has handed down decree in which he ordered the sale of a steel bridge now spanning the Chatta- hoochee river at Columbia, in Houston county, in order that bonded debt or S20, ,000 might be satisfied
 For 25 years the bridge has been owned and controlled by the town of Colum bia, the act incorporating the town authorizing the floating of s2O.0Oo worth of bonds These bonds were pur- chased by the Chicago Title and Trust company. and interest on the amount was promptly paid until recently, when the town ceased payment on the ground that the incorporation act was void.
 The bridge connects the states Of Alabama and Georgia, and is an im- portant link in the traffic of the states. The decree of Judge Jones is expected to result in payment of the necessary interest

.BEAUT|FU ITALIAN
 GIRL MAKESESCAPE
Daughter of Rich Merchant Was About to Be Sold
 as Slave to Arabs

Constantnople, February 4.-Josephlhe Seminali, the beautiful 20-year-old daush- ter of a rich Italian merchant, just es- capped from the captivity of slave dealers in Tripoli in time to avoid being sold as a slave to Arabs.
 At the beginning of the Turko-ltalian war the girl mysteriousy disappeared from her home here. The only ntor- nation her parents had as to her where abouts was the information vouchsafed by neighbors that they had seen car riage driving rapidly from the home con taining several men and a shrouded wom- an apparently unconscious.
 Working on this clue detectives dlscoV- cred that Josephine had been captured by slave dealers and sent to Africa. Oners of large rewards brought no result and the parents, after giving up all hope, were on the verge of despair when they re- ceived telegram from their daughter re- lating how, after many adventures, she had escaped from her captors, who intend- ed to sell her into slavery.
 The girl is now aboard French steam CT bound for Naples, where her parents are going to meet her

PRICES FORGED
 DOWN RAPIDLY Highly Irregular Movement of Stocks Presented Con-
 trast to January

New York, February 4.-The active and highly irregular movements of stocks last week presented a decided contrast to the dull stready markets during the greater part of January. Speculation was on a large scale for a short time and prices were forced down rapidly. The growth of bearish senti- ment to some extent was a. response to several unfavorable influences among which the financial statements of the Hartman Pacifics and the United States Steel corporation stood out most prominently.
 In the main, however, the movement represented speculative attempt to bring on a bear market. Professional traders apparently worked on the the- ory that, as the usual January rise" had not occurred this year it would be comparatively easy to force de- cline. At the low prices of the week many of the active stocks showed losses from the preceding weeks close of three or four points, but it was noticea- ble that as soon as selling by profess sional trade diminished the market showed tendency to recover. The spec
 
 outside support in it's attempts to un- dermine the market, and in the last two days of the week stocks were steadier
 Although the report of the United States Steel corporation for the last quarter of 1911 was fully up to ex- pectations, it's publication served to draw attention to the disadvantages under which it has been opera ting re- gently owing largely to the low level of prices.
 For the year the small surplus over dividend requirements was conserved only by severe contraction in the de- preciation and reserve item and by suspending entirely the special appro- priations for additions which had fig ured in the previous two years opera tions. Net earnings for the quarter were the lowest for that period of the year since 1904
 Although the earnings of Union Pa cific and Soupthern Pacific fell off sharply some of the eastern roads made a much better showing. This was espe- cially true of the Pennsylvania and New York Central systems which re- ported greatly increased gross earnings and substantial additions to the net.
 Trade reports for the most part were of a indefinite character, indicating little change in business conditions as a whole
 Exportation of gold to Europe con- firmed the evidence of slack demand and reduction in the supply of the banking resources in New York. The rise in sterling exchange and the de- mand for money abroad has indicated the possibility of gold exports, but the exchange rates are still below what is regarded as the shipping point and bankers were in doubt whether the outward movement of gold would te- come large at this time
 Trading in bonds fell considerably be- low the raPant aVerape

COUNSELMAN SUGGESTED THE
 CHANGES MADE IN FOOTBALL
By REUBE A. LEWIS

An interesting fact about the new foot ball rules, which were published yester- day morning. is that a Birmingham man formally suggested the most drastic changes. John S. Counselman, who has been identified with the gridiron both as player and an official, is that man.
 Just after the football season was con cuded he wrote lengthy article which was published in The Age-Herald, about the inconsistencies of the football rules. In this article his first suggestion for a change read: "A desirable innovation to the forward pass would be to allow a player, under certain restrictions, to throw or pass the ball across the goal line. the successful execution of which should re- suit in a touchdown. Regardless of tue serious objections which might be made to such a ruling there are sufficient req sons to justify the play
 The second suggestion was: "A second objectionable regulation to the use of the forward pass is that the pass Is illegal if 1t crosses a line 20 yards in advance of the point where the ball was put in play. This has proven to be a useless restriction and if one forward pass is allowed from any position of the field by an offensive player, this restriction would necessarily have to be removed
 Shortly after the article had been pub lished MT. Counselman sent in the sugges- tions to F. K. Hall the chairman of the committee on football rules. The chair man acknowledged the receipt of the sug- gestions and stated that he was very glad to receive the letter.

HISTORIC WHISKY
Keeping Up the Quality for Three
 Generations

Down in the Blue Grass State" old Kentucky, in the early part of the last century, Judge w. H. MeBraver and his father used to supply their neighbors with whisky made on the home place a strictly hand made sour mash bourbon distilled from pure spring water and from the choicest grains which they grew themselves on the celebrated Cedar Brook plantation.
 The demand for McBrayer quality led tc the establishment of the present house one of the largest distilleries in America It was quality that brought this famous house into the commercial world and quality is still the foundation of it's enor. nous business.
 Connoisseurs the world over will take nothing but McBrayer's Cedar Brook be cause in it they recognize a quality that can be obtained only by the following of certain high grade practices. Youl judge of good whisky knows that tn, fusel oil has been extracted from Cedar Brook; he knows that it is bottled il bond-that Is, it has been aging in a government warehouse in charge of tho internal revenue department, and thai it receives the government certificate oi age when bottled and released from bond
 But your true lover and judge of good whisky will tell you that best of all Cedar Brook has the rare bouquet oi llut Olu Ntiits lildl us tNNulSlIe UaNOf can be found in no other whisky and that he can readily distinguish it from hundred others because this rare and delicate bouquet and flavor that comes only from purity.
 He knows that no artificial means can possibly import what Cedar Brook gets from the hand made sour mash and se- ected grains and eight years aging iu the wood. It is to his advantage as it is to yours that the demand for Cedar Brook has become world wide. and for that reason it can be had in almost any place in any town or city in the United States where whisky is sold. It is the favorte in the best clubs and cafes in the great hotels and on dining cars and floating palaces. To ask for it is the mark of the man who knows. The purity, quality and reputation of Cedar Brook is guarded as zealously as did old Judge McBrayer nearly 100 years ago.

The changes that are attributed to MT. Counselman are. first. "A zone of 10 yards width beyond the goal lines is established. The purpose of this is to provide ample space for execution of the forward pass and scoring on a pass made across the goal line into this zone is permitted" and, secondly, "The 20 yard zone, in which the preesnk rules now provide restrictions to interference with the forward pass. Is eliminated so that the restrictions will apply now to any part of the field"
 Last night, in speaking of the changes and the general effect which the changes will have on the sport, Mir. Counselman said: 'of course am glad to see that the changes I suggested were adopted, and I feel that they will have a good ef- feet on football
 'The elimination. of the 20 yard zone will allow the offensive team to pass the ball forward for any distance, will make the scores of the games much higher and will increase the general interest. But the changes which allow the successful pass of the ball over the line to count as a touchdown will have a most remarkable effect for the better. Heretofore the of fentive team, inside it's opponents 15 yard line, was practically deprived of this play for fear the ball would cross the goal line. The team on the defensive will be weakened, but the game will be much more exciting and most of the teams will develop accurate playing. I look for q most successful season next fall. The tran,a will he faster than last season and scoring will be more easily effected"

AUBURN ALUMNI RECEIVE
 ANOTHER SICKENING JOLT

planation has been vouchsafed. Something was said about '1nadvisability" or 'in- expedieney" or ''impracticability," neither of which terms was considered when the movement was originated and given to the press of the state.
 A new light dawned That much is certain. What that new light consisted of, however, is shrouded in Stygian dark ness.
 The situation is peculiar. No one be- lieves that the student body of Auburn is responsible for the attitude of that institution. No one believes that the alumni are responsible. No one believes for moment that the Auburn team would not rejoice were 1t permitted to fly at the throat of its old time enemy.
 What Is the restraining force? How long will that restraining force be per- mitted to restrain?
 In the meantime. Alabama, believing that it las done the square thing, is saying nothing. Hugo Friedman, grad uate manager of Alabama athletics, says that Alabama is willing to meet Au- burn in baseball and football at any time, and that such facts have been pub licly represented-but that he doesn't in tend to be put in the attitude of pe- titioner. Alabama alumni have heard the rumor that certain factors at Auburn believe that without the proceeds of an Alabama Auburn game, the athletics at the former institution cannot long exist
 'sENen were that true-which, of course, is untrue-we cannot believe that such a spirit is characteristic of the Auburn stu dent body, they say.
 There will be no game this year.

State Senator Charles M. Sherrod of Lawrence county is a trustee of the Alabama Polytechnical institute. He is be played annually between the Univer- sity of Alabama and Auburn. He sees no reason why such should not be.
 When Alabama made it's open offer to meet Auburn anywhere and under any conditions, and Auburn declined, Sena- tor Sherrod was disgus;ed. When in Bir- mingham he stated that he intended writ ing to President Thach and Professor Bragg in the hope that something bet ter might be done He did not hesitate to express himself not only as surprised at the action of Auburn, but really of tended.
 It was chiefly through the efforts of Senator Sherrod that Charles Harold, president of the Auburn Alumni associa- ton, started a movement among the former students of that institution look ing to the immediate restoration of the old time athletic agreement. MT. Har- old, who is a sportsman of a high type, desires that Auburn meet Alabama again, and it was with fine spirit that he pre- cipitated the movement among the alumni.
 The Auburn alumni were delighted. Every former student of Auburn who re- sides in Birmingham would have signed the petition that was about to be cir culated. There is no doubt but that had the movement not been stopped and stopped at once, the petition would have numbered thousands of names
 But the petition was stopped. No ex-

for the man who had applied artificial moisture. A garden was conducted in the heart of the city on what is com monly known as the hottest corner in Minneapolis and was dry farmed. The lot was wedged in between billboards, right in the glare of the sun and flour isled all summer long.
 When member applied, his name and address and the lot he wanted were re- corded on a card. A supervisor viewed the lot to decide whether it could or should be used for gardening. No ferti- lizer was needed because practically every lot was virgin soil. The supervisor then looked up the applicant to see if he really wanted a garden. The gardener had to clear the lot of rubbish and otherwise get it ready for the blow.
 Aside from the big economic consider ation, more than 600 men and women were given q chance to return to the soil from which they came, or to go ,o the soil Of which they knew nothing The gardens developed a healthy ten dency toward early rising, and the sun @nse daily this summer on hundreds of people hoeing, wedding, killing cutworms or pruning tomatoes; hands dirty and faces owing
