The city should provide a place

care declared DR.. J. f. Paullin. pres
ident Of the Fulton County Medical So
ciety. Il believe the disease is highly
contagious. A hospital or building
should be set apart for this purpose.
as all the cases are hospital cases and
should receive treatment under hygienic
and precautionary conditions
Il would not say that the city has
been derelict, for no part of the medical
profession has acknowledged the dan
gerously contagious nature of menin-
gifts until within the last few years. On
this account, the epidemic which At
lanta experienced several years ago
could not serve as the warning which
is before us now.
Il do not think that people should be
alarmed, however. The cases In At

Dr. }. P. kennedy. city health Of
dcer. was anxious that the danger Of
an epidemic SHOULD not be overesrj-

twelve cases in the city at one time
was very unusual but that he did not

Twelve cases is a large number"

and Absurd Skirts
THEY ARE HEALTHY, SAYS AS.
SISTANT SURGEON-GENERA
RuCKER.

Especial to The Richmond Virginian.)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.--The
United States government, through
the bureau of public health, has prac-
tically put It's seal Of approval upon
the much abused split skirt and
diaphanous gown, and It is now up TO
the detractors OF these new creations
to come forth ana protest.
Here is what Assistant Surgeon
General Rucker had no say today in
prescribing a few fall and winter
health hints for the populace:
Women wear too many clothes In
winter anyway Don't overload your
body with too many heavy garments.
he ADVISES. 'Split skirts and diapha-
nous gowns are not menaces to health
In cold weather. On the contrary,
tho woman who wears the present
styles will be less liable to catch cold
than one who crowds her body with
heavy woolens the first chilly day.
ITO prevent winter colds dress
warmly and comfortably, but DOM
wear too many clothes This. OF
course, does not apply TO overcoats
and outer garments Dress according
to your particular climate. and your
usual fall and winter colds are not
liable 70 appear"
Thus the new creations of Dame
Fashion are cleared of many charges
preferred against her Of consp!ring
to wreck the health OF the younger
set, VINO follow her precepts.
And fp.e is brand new one Sur
geon- General Rucker has to cure a
cold inssanter:
when you feel cold coming on,
go into a room. open the windows and
disrohe The cold air won't hurt you.
Take a stiff brush and rub your body
until It CLOVIS all over The cold will
go away"
He also advises against persons not
In the open air during the day wear
ing heavy underwear. and repeats the
warning about sleeping In stuffy
rooms.

arrived at the exchange and read the
archbishops pronouncement and APP
pealed to the parents not to allow the
children to go. emphasizing ''the dan
gers of allowing young children to be
sent to atheistic socialist homes in
England"
The mothers 10 the children there
upon, decided that they would not con-
sent to the sending Of the children,

WHAT DID MURPHY
Do WITH $4,000 +?
Sulzer Asks Question Of Four
Howling Crowds in Opening
His Campaign.
Offered Him for Gubernatorial
Fight and Refused---Says
Tammany Leader Subse-
quently Took the Money.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.--'I ask
f. Murphy if it is not true
that | refused to accept $4,000 dur
ing nay campaign for the governor
ship from Judge Samuel =. Boards
ley. the representative of the late An
thony n. i5rady?"
With this question Ex-Governor
William Sulzer started his campaign
in the Sixth Assembly district tonight.
Probably fifty thousand people heard
him ask 1t in four meetings indoors
and at four more in the streets, while
bowling mobs of East Sid.rs booed
the name of Murphy. shouted that
they would send William Sulzer. first
to the assembly. then back to the
the governors chair. and finally to
United States.
Took the Money.
MIR. Murphy subsequently took this
money" continued Mr.. Sulzer. land
as far as / am informed, he never
accounted for it. We tried to prove
this during the trial at Albany, but
the Murphy members of the court ex-
ciuded 1t. Why?'
Mr.. Suizer announced that he would
put a new question to Mr.. Murphy
each night of the campaign. and he
invited the Tammany leader to an
swer them the following day in any
way he likes.
Perhaps the East Side has never
seen anything that eqnaled the recep-
ton given to Mr.. Sulxer tonight
Everywhere he went he was greeted
by tremendous crowds. and every
where the enthusiasm for him was at
fever pitch.
Makes Bitter Attack.
A thin line of policemen, who tried
to club q way through the streets for
his automobile. were thrown about
like tenpins, and il was not until he
himself climbed upon the back seat
and begged for passage that he
could make any progress. At every
stop he bitterly attacked Murphy and
the men on the Tammany ticket,
some of whom he named.
After election day." he said
you'll be able to play checkers on
Boss Murphy's coat-tails as he leaves
for foreign shores. I'll drive every
CRATER out of the State, and with
you back Of me wen give the tax
payers the worth OF their money for
the first time"
1t was then that hundreds of East
Side voices assured Mr.. Sulzer that
they would pAt him in the presidents
chair before they were through.

OPTIMISTIC VIEWS
Of CURRENCY BILL
Minor Objections to Measure
Will be Worked Out Salts
factorily Say Speakers.
Thomas McAdams and Presi-
dent Sands Discuss Pending
Legislation at Table Talk
Luncheon.

Holding altogether optimistic views
on the pending currency legislation.
both Thomas b. McAdems. of the
Merchants National bank. and Presi-
dent Oliver J. Sands, of the Ameri-
can National bank. expressed the be-
lief. in discussing the important ques-
ton from the standpoint of the
banker and the business man at the
Business Mems club yesterday. that
the congress would meet and over
come all objections TO the bill--which,
after all, were mere matters of de-
tail---and give the country the great
est boon 1t had known in fifty years.
The occasion OF the discussion was
the first of the new series OF table
talk luncheons OF the club, over which
President Alvin NJ. Smith presided,
and to which the first fifty members
of the organization. alphabetically
speaking, and to which two of the
newer corners to the local CONNER
cial world were guests OF honor. The
guests were S. u. Scudder. vice presi-
dent and treasurer Of the Richmond
Trust and Savings company, and AL
bert s. Tanner, district manager OF
the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone company. Introduced by Pres
ident Smith, both gentlemen respond
ed with brief words of appreciation
of the welcome that had been accord
ed them In Richmond.
Interests Identical.
Called upon to discuss the pending
currency legislation from the bank
er's standpoint, Mr.. McAdams stated
that 1t would be hard to draw the
line, as the interests OF the banker
and the business man when 1t came
to matters of finance are identical.
He stated that he believed that the
bankers opposition to the measure
had been conscientious and unselflsh
in an effort to secure the very best
legislation possible. MIR. McAdams,
who was a member of the committee
from the Virginia Bankers assoc!a-
ton, which went to Washington last
week to present the views Of the Vir-
ginia bankers to the house commit
tee, told the club that the Virginians
were agreeably surprised to find the
members of the committee in a re-
ceptive frame Of mind and ready and
willing to consider any and all sug-
gestions. He expressed the belief that
the Objectionable features OF the
measure OF the bill. which, after all,
were mere matters Of detail would
be worked out satisfactorily to all
concerned before the legislation was
finally enacted.

oratory had its inning at the Protes-

noon. All the elements for such a
fray as is loved OF men whose tradi-
tons center about the rostrum were
there. They had a good subject.
There was plenty OF feeling on both
sides feeling bred Of a situation that
developed into civil war, and then
went right on being a situation that
the war did not solve. a feeling tenn
pered by the training and the spirit
of churchmen. There was the OPP
portunity to say many things. and
they were said.
One man told how he loved the
negroes. Another man said he could
just see himself getting out of the
church IL he had 40 talk to colored
bishop. Still another told how far
South he was born and how much
he knew about the negroes because
he lives in Alabama, where they have
eight negroes and a half to every
white man. Others said their broth
ers had not been Successful with the
negro because they hadn't tried TO be.
Talk 1t Over.
They talked about the great war,
about reconstruction days. and about
everything else that pertained to the
question whether the negro should
have church jurisdiction all his own.
In the end a compromise prevailed.
One faction wanted no racial mis-
sionary districts In the Church. The
other faction proclaimed them as the
only solution of a problem which they
said threatens to destroy the Church.
Finally it was decided to find out a
tor more about rfYE EunJect, and Tor

commission that will tussle with it for
