INTOXICATED BOY
LEFT TO FREEZE

Carried out of a saloon and left
to freeze to death which he did, was
the fate of Arthur Wundran, 20
year old Davenport boy, 1349 West
Third street. Death came at
o'clock yesterday afternoon after
physicians had labored in vain to re-
yive the lad from the effects of a
whole night without shelter and
with the thermometer way below
zero. An inquest will be held over
the remains and 1t is possible that
the proprietors of the Miller hotel
bar at TIP West Second street may
be called to account.
Wednesday morning young Wun-
dram with his brother left home and
started for the Corn Products fac.
tory where both were employed
They were called into the saloon az
they passed and Arthur went it. He
remained there all day drinking with
acquaintances and at night when SO
intoxicated that he could not walk
he was elected from the barroom and
put in a barn to sleep off his jag.
In the morning he was nearer dead
than alive and when found was TAX
en- back into the hotel and a doctor
was summoned. He could not b'
saved, however.

CHARGES DEATH

DR.. Alice Hamilton, in Federal
Report, Arraigns in White
Lead Peril.

soning, Alleged.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Dr. Alice Ham
ilton, chief Investigator of occupation
al diseases for the federal govern
ment, has completed a thorough in
vestigation of the white lead industry
Of the United States in its relation
to lead poisoning. Her report, which
is issued as part of a bulletin of the
bureau of labor, contains many dis
Quieting facts and figures. In the 16
months from Jan. l, 1910, to April 80,
1911, 1853 specific cases Of lead poison
ing were discovered, 16 of which re-
suited in death. These figures, says
DIR. Hamilton, understate the actual
extent of the malady for the reason
that the labor is largely unskilled, for
eign and Of very shifting character.
DRY PROCESS is PERIL.
The report is intended to guide leg
islators in framing needed laws for
the protection of workers in the lead
industry. American manufacturers
are accused Of carelessness and indif,
ference, since lead poisoning is much
more common here than in England
and Germany, where safeguards are
employed. In America the white car.
Donate of lead is separated from the
unchanged metallic lead which has
escaped corrosion by a dry process
whereas in England and Germany the
process is wet. Since dust consti
tutes the great menace to the worker
it follows, says DR.. Hamilton, that an
American factory at its best Is much
more dangerous than an English OF
German one.
| DR.. Hamilton, who is resident OF
Chicago, is an authority on occupa
tional diseases and made the investi
cation on which legislation against
lead poisoning was based In Illinois

OF these rooms DR.. Hamilton says:

Of these rooms DR.. Hamilton says:
Some rooms are worse than 9TH
ers, but essentially they are very SIM
liar and always bad. When a pan is
to be emptied the windows are opened
and the men enter and shovel the dry
powder usually into open trucks,
sometimes into barrels, sometimes d.
rectly into openings In the floor. In
addition to the inevitable dangers.
there are quite unnecessary sources
of dust in many factories. Thus. in
stead Of giving the workmen long.
handled shovels and instructing them
to lay the powder carefully in the car.
| they are given short shovels and are
allowed to pitch the powder to the
car, standing distance away. The
floor may be of rough material and
swept dry, which process always
raises clouds of dust. The full trucks
may be emptied into unhooded dumps
in the floor. The work is SO bad that
in most places no precautions are at
tempted except to expose the men as
short a time as possible"
