Bank Records Show Lieutenant Becker
Has $500, OOo-Rose Again Tells His
Story-HoIds Members Of Grand

New York, Aug 14.-Powerful bank
ing interests, acting through the New
York clearing house committee, came
to the aid OF District Attorney Whit
man in his efforts to lay bare the al
legged corrupt alliance between the po-
lice and the gambling fraternity found
ed on graft and blackmail.
A virtual command was given by
the committee to all banks in the
clearing house to furnish the district
attorney with record of deposits
they may have received from any of
the high police officials whom the dis
trict attorney suspects OF having been
collectors Of blackmail from the dis
orderly elements of the city.
AS a result records showing that
within the last eight months Police
Lieutenant Charles Becker, charged
with the murder Of Herman Rosen-
thai ard accused of gambling graft,
had made deposits in four banks OF
s55,S45 in his own name or that of his
wife, were placed in the hands Of the
public prosecutor
These deposits, the records show
were first made in November, 1911,
shortly after Becker became head OF
the strong arm" squad of raiders,
and continued all during the time that
Jack Rose says he was collecting
graft for Becker and until after his
arrest.

bonds and securities locked up in sep
acate safety deposit vaults That the
total value of the police lieutenants
holdings will be found to approximate
100000 would be no surprise.
BecEer's salary as police lieuten-
ant was s2.25O year.
1t became known that the district
attorney is holding for presentation
to the grand jury evidence by which
he expects to convict four police In.

blackwell from gambling houses and
disorderly resorts.
The prosecutor expects, with the aid
of the clearing house officers, to I'M

them which are expected to disclose
some surprisingly barge fortunes, in
che case an accumulation of nearly
81 100000.
The expected murder indictments
b. the grand jury were not handed
down, owing to the time taken by
testimony of various witnesses who
appeared before that body. One Of
these was Jack Rose, who, it was

cording to DR.. Carroll, added only 594-
S66 to their membership in 1911. OF this
30 e6S is credited to the Catholics, and
Oi,2S9 TO the Methodists. There was
also an increase Of 1880 ministers and
2,Ss churches in the same period.
THE increase in 1911 was less than IL

DON'T TRY TO KEEP
BABY'S MILK WARM
1t Probably May Be Poison to Youl
Child.

\ recent magazine obligingly informs
an inquiring reader about a method OF
keeping her baby's night bottle warm.
She says that II is so much trouble to get
up in the cold and fuss with the gas
stove or alcohol lamp, heating up the
milk that must be given at or so in
the morning. and she wants a sure way
of keeping IL warm all night after heat
ing II at bedtime. So she Is told to put
it into a vacuum bottle until feeding
time and then transfer II 10 the regular
bOttle: or else to cook II and put II into
a covered pail Of boiling water, wrapping
the pail in a thick cloth and setting it on
the register or steam radiator. Thus, "
the answer concludes. ''it will keep quite
warm for hours, and save much trouble. "
Yes, but also il will make trouble,
good many times out of ten. 1t may even
make a tragedy, II the bacteria work
full time. That piece of advice is about
the worst that could be given to the in
experienced mother or nurse. What the
magazine chC-ld have advised is this
The Washington herald., 1912-01-26

in great capital letters-"Don't try to
keep your babys milk warm for more
than FIVE minutes. or long enough for
feeding. You will probably poison the
baby"
The Reason Why.
Now do you know why? Do you know
why you must keep the milk bottles on
ice always, ana ought TO keep them
there right up TO the feeding hour? 1t is
because the bacteria-which are bound to
be in the purest Of milk-cannot do any
harm as long as they are kept coId-say
below fifty degrees.
A low temperature makes them quite
harmless. But once you raise their tenn
perature, and keep it up for some time
these bacteria get busy and do any
amount of harm. 4 continued high tenn
perature forms their Happy Hunting
Groupd. and in It they multiply so rap-
idly as TO make the milk unfit for use
very soon You know milk may have a
certain number of bacteria to the cubic
inch without being harmful; but when
il contains more than that number II
cannot be used.
Sometimes the change that takes place
is evident TO the eye-when # is curdIed.
for instance-but often it is not The
milk looks all right; IT may even taste
all right: but II the bacteria have been
allowed to increase past the danger point
it Is bad food.
Don't try TO keep II warm. Even
though II means trouble for yourself
keep the night bottle on ice until the
time comes TO use it; then heat II up
just as you 30 in the daytime. Keep il
upstairs through the night IL you find
that more convenient. but well iced in
some way. SO that It stays perfectly cold.
Otherwise You are risking the baby's life.
The Washington herald., 1912-01-26

Face to face with trouble:
And did you forget to look.
As the good old father taught you,
For help in the dear old Book?
You have heard the tempter whisper.
And you've had no heart to pray,
And God was dropped from your scheme
OF life,
oh, for many a weary day.
Then face to face with trouble;
1t is thus He calls you back
From the land of dearth and famine
To the land that has no lack.
You would not hear in the sunshine;
You hear in the midnight gloom;
Behold. His tapers kindle
Like the stars in the quiet room.
o. face to face with trouble,
Friend, have often stood;
To learn that pain hath sweetness,
To know that God is good.
Arise and meet the daylight:
Be strong and do your best:
With an honest heart, and a Shildliks
faith
That God will do the rest

Microbes and Flatirons.

Now comes a new method TO get rid
Of the ever-busy microbe. 1t is the nat.
iron. Ironing linen has a greater effect
than is commonly supposed. As the tenn
perature Of the iron may greatly exceed
2oS degrees Fahrenheit, it is suggested
that the process of ironing may suffice
to sterilize surgical dressings and hence
be OF valuable service, especially in the
rural districts in the absence Of disinfect-
ing ovens and sterilizcrs.
Nearly all microbes can be killed by a
sufhcientIy long application Of tempera-
ture Of I5S degrees Fahrenheit. But the
temperature OF 2s6 degrees is required to
kill certain bacteria and produce complete
sterilization. II has been proved BY ex-
pertinent that IL is possible to disinfect
clothing very satisfactory by ironing.
