THREE DEAD, SIX I'LL.
Bark Arrives in Port With Crew
Depleted and Demoralized.

BALTIMORE, Md, October with
three of her crew dead and six more now
down with beriberi, the bark Daylight
anchored off quarantine today after a
125-day voyage from Bombay. India. To-
night the ship is being fumigated and
quarantine doctors are attending the
stricken sailors.
The ship has been at sea for more than
four months. These have been days Of
suffering for her crew of thirty-seven
men and one stowaway. The first sick
ness was case Of smallpox, which Capt.
Anderson cured in a few weeks Before
this patient had recovered. however. the
Chinese cook fell i'll with the beriberi.
About the same time when the ship had
been out only a short time, others show
ed unmistakable evidence of the disease
in it's most malignant form. Fully a
dozen men, about one-third of the crew,
were ill most of the time. The deaths
occurred within a few weeks after the
disease was noticed.
The first to die was the cook. The
other deaths followed within the next
two weeks: the victims were English.
The bodies We're buried at sea. The doc
tors are not confident of saving the lives
of the six men.
The success of Capt. Anderson in ham
ding the cases was commented upon by
the members Of the crew who were for
tunate enough to escape it.

GIVE BODIES TO SCIENCE
Two Hundred Physicians
Promise to Make Wills to
Further Autopsies.

NEW YORK, October with the pur-
pose Of extending the study Of disease
and to eliminate the baneful treatment
of incompetent physicians, 200 members
of the Associated Physicians of Long Is
land yesterday went on record as pledg-
ing their bodies to science to be used for
autopsies for special investigation. This
action was taken at meeting on Hoff-
man Island following an energetic cam
paign of pathologists in the association
who foresee great boon to humanity
in the education of the general public to
the necessity of such work.
Although the law specifies that, to the
nearest of kin belongs the refusal OF an
| autopsy, the physicians practically will
make wills stating that it is their last
wish that their fellow-physi have
the privilege of making such surgical ex-
animation as they see fit.
Efforts were made last spring to bring
about more thorough understanding or
the good of autopsies that this country
might advance in medical knowledge with
the same rapidity as Germany and other
countries of Europe. which for years have
had a law that gives to the institutions
the right to perform autopsies on all per-
sons whose deaths take place in hos
pitals.
Foreign physicians pursuing a line Of
examination in mysterious and battling
diseases have been enabled to carry on
their work with sufficient material.
In this country physicians say they
have been limited in their scope because
no one may perform an autopsy without
the permission of relatives. 1t has been
found here that the public has had a
morbid impression Of such medical re-
search. and has refused permission in al
most every instance. 1t was to dissipate
this view that the members Of the Asso-
ciated Physicians decided to begin a wide
spread campaign of education. They be-
lieve the sentiment against it is archaic
and that any step that might result in
saving scores of lives of a future genera
ton certainly is the opposite of desecra-
ton.

MUST DECIDE CUSTOMS CASE.
Pay for Night Examination of Bag
gage Referred to Wickersham.

Whether customs inspectors will be al
lowed to charge extra for the examina.
tion of baggage on incoming steamers
has been referred to Attorney General
Wickersham for decision.
For a number of months customs in
spectors have claimed that for night ex.
aminations of baggage they should be
given extra pay under the law which
permits such extra pay for examination
Of scargoes'' at night.
The agitation of the matter of baggage
caused customs officials of the Treasury
to refer the matter to the solicitor of thai
department. He decided that baggage
was cargo within the meaning Of the
law. and that inspectors would have to be
paid. Following this decision the matter
was referred to the Attorney General fol
final decision. If such extra charge ts
allowed the steamships will have to pay
the charge and will in turn assess the
passengers.

Little Stories for Bedtime.
What Boomer the Nighthawk Saw.
By Thornton w. Burgess.

The million little stars looked down and
twinkled and twinkled. Beneath them
lay the Green Meadows and the Green
Forest. They didn't look green now be-
cause Jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun had pulled
his nightcap on and gone to his bed be-
hind the Purple Hills, and there wasn't
light enough for the grass and the leaves
to show their green color.
Over the meadows and along the edge
of the forest sailed Boomer the Night
hawk Sometimes he was so low that
he almost touched the meadow grass.
Sometimes he flew in circles way, way
high in the sky. Boomer the Nighthawk
was happy. He had slept all day. for
Boomer likes best to sleep by day and fly
by night. The bright light Of day hurts
his eyes, and he can see better in the
starlight than in the daylight. Then at
night there are lots and lots of little
insects flying about, and very few hungry
little people to catch them.
So Boomer the Nighthawk was happy.
for there was plenty to eat Every rev
minutes he would open his great Dig
mouth and then close it with snap, and
every time he did this there was one less
insect to fly about and get into mischief.
Really Boomer was helping Farmer
Brown, though he didn't know this. You
see, some of these little insects lived on
the green things growing in Farmer
Browns garden. and would soon have
killed the little plants growing there But
Boomer the Nighthawk wasn't thin King
of this. He was only thinking how good
his dinner this was really his dinner
time, you know tasted. and what spien-
did fun it was to fly and fly and not all
the time have to be watching out for
danger.

his wings and coasted down. down so
fast that it seemed as If he must surely
hit the ground. But he didn't Just be-
fore he reached the ground he spread his
wings and went skimming over the
meadow grass instead Then he did 1t
all over again. He came down so fast
that the air rushed through the long, stiff
feathers of his wings and made loud,
booming sound. which Is the reason HI he

him stop his long slide half way. 1t was
something moving in the blackest shad-
ows. Boomer turned and flew right over
the black shadows where he could look
right down into them. AS he loo Sed he
saw two figures creeping slowly along.
One of them limped and seemed to be
having dreadful time to get along. Its
Granny and Reddy Fox said Boomer to
himself. They were so intent on their
own affairs that they hadn't noticed him
at all. He opened his mouth to shout to
them. Then he closed it again without
making sound. I'll just wait and see
what mischief they are planning now,
he thought.
So from up in the sky Boomer the
Nighthawk watched Granny and Reddy

Last autumn the local community

arter convincing opponents that
whether the school board took the
mitiative or not the youth Of the dis
trlct would indulge in dancing. and
tnat 1t was the best policy for the
school board to organize the dancing
In moral atmosphere.
10 carry out this proposal the
school board used the town hall and
employed a full orchestra, and 1t was
stipulated that only those youths who
enrolled In one of the other classes in
the evening school would be admitted
TO the dancing hall The resolution
was surprisingly successful. Such was
the increase in the number of pupils
enrolled for the evening school that
the board gained extra grants from the
educational department in respect of
Increased attendances, which were ao-
tually sufficient to reduce the educa-
ton levy on the ratepayers.
Inspired by the success Of the dano-
Ing venture Mr.. Johnstone urged the
desirability Of boxing as an evening
school subject With several clerical
members on the school board there
was naturally good deal of opposi-

they had never attracted the type Of

most needed this continuation school

The discussion ended in a close
