BARS PUBLIC CUP
ON ALL CARRIERS
Public Health Service to Wage Cam
paisn Against Disease On Rail- i.
roads and Steamboats,.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Oct. 21.-
Convinced that the public drinking
cup is a deadly carrier OF infectious
and contagious diseases the Public
Health Service has promulgated an
order which prohibits its use on rail
or water common carriers engaged in
interstate commerce in the United
States.
This order Is the first step in a
newly conceived campaign of protec-
ton for both passengers and inhabi-
tants touching by common carriers
against disease spread through pollu-
ton of the highways and streams by
passing trains and vessels.
The second step will be taken this
week when an order will be issued re-
quiring that all water used for drink
ing purposes on trains and vessels en-
gagged in interstate commerce shall
be certified as to it's purity by health
authorities of the State from which
it is drawn, and hot water containers
be scalded with steam at least once
a week
The first order, which was made
public yesterday, is in line with leg
islation recently passed in twenty six
States. The act of the United States
Public Health Service. however, applies
to all States, in so far as carriers en-
gagged in interstate commerce are con
cerned 1t is in line with an earnest
plea made by Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Clements before the re-
cent International Congress on Hy-
giene and Demography, that the ques-
ton of track and water pollution be
considered by the Public Health Ser
vice.
In the order requiring the certifica-
ton of water intended for drinking
purposes on common carriers will be
a clause applying to ice and requiring
necessary care in the handling of ice.
The campaign of protection against
dangerous common carriers started
with a general order to officers of the
public health service October 5. This
order directed all officers while trav-
cling &c make such observations as
may be practicable of the sanitary
conditions of the trains and vessels on
which they travel and the stations and
wharves at which they stop. The re-
suits of these observances will be no
ted in a report to be submitted to the
bureau upon the completion of the
travel authorized"
Dr. Thomas Crowder, sanitary Of
ficer of the Pullman Company, has
been studying the problem for some
time and number of experiments
now are being made with view to
deyising a receptacle for use on cars
to hold the refuse which now is strewn
A case recently investigated by Past
Assistant Surgeon l.. l.. Lunsden, one
of the sanitary experts of the service
indicates the danger which turks on
water pollution by passing vessels.

No passengers were hurt but all
were pretty badly shaken up. Both
engines were demolished.
The cause OF the sideswipe has not
yet been made public but Il Is prob.
able that the yard crew mistook the

the regular train, for No. 3, and, for
getting that q second section was due,
pulled out ON the main track in the

FISH FROM FARMS
UNCLE SANS PLAN.
WIN Proucc r.alibut WITH Regularity
Of Ranch Men Raising Cattle.


The Government is exploring the
Alaska coast In search of cheaper fish
for the people of the cities. Many in
teresting things have been discovered
In regard to halibut. and 1t Is probable
that the New Workers of the next gem
Grafton win be supplied from halibut
farms managed with all the regular
ity OF cattle ranches.
The steamer Albatross. under Com
mander Guy II. Burrage u. S. NJ. has
made a preliminary examination of
the halibut fishing grounds OF the Pac-
ific coast and the results are made
public by the Bureau OF Fisheries.
Halibut. which have been sold In
the markets of the United States as
food fish for many years, were prior
to 1850 very abundant off the coast
of New England and the Maritime
Provinces. They were, however, shun-
ned by the fishermen seeking cod and
other species, and when caught were
frequently cut from the hooks.
The combative nature OF the half
but tends TO drive cod and other de-
sirable fish from the hooks OF a trav-
eler or hand line and sometimes from
the district
When properly prepared and pack
ed In ice Immediately after being
caught. kept from light and air and
with temperature as near freezing
point as possible without freezing the
halibut will remain in good condition
for from three to four weeks, and at
that tine will be perfectly sweet and
fresh
Because 1t is possible to keep hall
but In good condition longer than most
kinds of fish. they are greatly in de.
mand by dealers. and they possess
moreover, greater commercial value
than any other bottom-of-the-sea spec
les. They are easily digested food.
Even after being kept until the fresh
ness has departd they can be prepar-
ed and eaten without danger
The fish does not attain full growth
until it Is 20 years old. and then it
weighs from 200 to 400 pounds A 30
pound fish, such as is ordinarily sold
in the New York market, is usually
about years old.

MRS. A. @. VANDERBILT.

LONDON Oct. 24.--Considerable
anxiety is felt for Mrs. Alfred g. Van
derbilt that her one-month old baby,
which is heir to $60.000,OO0. will be
kidnapped. She is thoroughly upset
over the matter and has offered the
closest watch kept over the previous
youngster. Intimation that the baby
would be Kidnapped came to Mrs.
Vanderbilt in an anonymous letter,
which, after demanding money, said
that unless a certain sum was paid
the baby would disappear and be held
for ransom. Mr. Vanderbilt treats the
whole thing as joke, but finds II
impossible to quell the fear of his
beautiful wife that harm may come
TO their baby.

The Thirteenth Annual Lake Mohonk
Conference of Friends of the Indian
and other Dependent Peoples conven-
ed the first OF its three-day sessions
here this morning. Chancellor Elmer
Ellsworth Brown, of New York Uni
versity was the first speaker. He de-
livered an address on THE Need of
Protection for Indian Property" The
Chancellor called attention to the pow
erty of the Indian of the present day,
drawing a striking comparison be-
tween the present Indian reservations
and the boundless territory that was
formerly the property of the red men.
He stated that there was as much
need for the conservation of the rights
of the Indian as there was for the
conservation of the national resour-
ces.
