The midday Sunday dinner has
hrcn the cause of more than on"
headache. Persons used to lunching
lightly in the middle OF the day
and dining heartily in the evening
change their habit ON Sunday and
dine heavily in the middle Of the day.
Sunday afternoon the beginnings Of
d headache appear. which can be di-
rrctly traced 10 the unusually heavy
midday meal. Sometimes the head
ache will be delayed until Monday,
and then perhaps ii can be traced to
the light supper On Sunday evening
for lack of food at an accustomed
time is as upSrlting as too much
GuOd at an unusual time.

SELMA W|LkBID FOR
ARMOR PLATE PLANT
Committee Appointed to Go
to Washington TO Pre-
sent Claims

Selma, July 22.-(Special)-At a meeting
of a number of the most influential busi-
ness men of Selma held at the rooms
of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday
morning it was decided that Selraa should
make an effort to secure the proposed
armor plate plant to be established by
the United States government. The meet
ing resulted in the appointment of a COM
mittee composed of j. b. Ellis, r. L.
Ellis, e. w. Pettus. e. C. Melvin, b. j
Schuster, Isidore Kayser to go to Wash
ington within the next week or so and
place the claims of Selma as the city for
the location OF the projected plant before
the proper authorities.
During the discussion at the meeting
this morning it was agreed that Selma
was the logical point for the establish
rent of the projected plant as it is at the
head of the year round navigation on
the Alabama river and is within easy
reach of the mineral region of the Bir-
mingham district
All of these facts together with the
fact that the Confederate states operated
an arsenal and ship yards here during
the war between the north and south
will also be brought forth as well as that
from the Confederate states yards large
boats were built and sent down the

New York. July 22.-(Special i'm
the closing days of Charles S. Mellen's
administration of the New Haven rail-
road system and its allies. which is to
end by October / there are sure to be
recollections of a somewhat similar lot
which befell Archibald Mcleod. at one
time president of the Reading Railroad
company. When Mr.. Mcleod was forced
out of the Reading. and after he had
lapsed into obscurity. the railway man
ayers were frequently heard to say
that McLeod's philosophy of the rail-
road situation in the east was sound
but unfortunately he undertook to
work 1t out before he knew where the
needed capital was to be obtained.
Had he made the fortunate and re-
sourceful associations which e. H. Har-
riman a few years later was able to
compass there is little doubt that Nc
Leod in the east would have, in some
of his achievements. rivaled the spec
tacular and successful exploits of e.
IL. Hartman in the west
But Mr.. Hartman was a very great
financier. master by experience and
also by intuition of the securities mar
for his own ends Mcleod was not a
financier. for had he been he would
first of all have secured the financial
assistance he needed for carrying on
his plan whereby much of New Eng
land was to be brought into direct al
lance with and TO some extent direct
ownership of the Reading railroad sys-
tenn.
President Mellen of the New Haven
company in many respects worked out
the philosophy which Archibald Mcleod
lacked, and 1t was precisely the re-
source which was understood by rail-
road men at the time to have been
hurled against Mr.. Mcleod when he
attempted to enter the New England
field. 1t was the support of powerful
men of finance. Both of these daring
adventures, to use the word in its best
sense. in the field of New England con-
centration and unification We're able to
complete their plans. In the case of
Mr.. Mellen, an antagonism and in
fiuence arose which neither he nor MIR.
Mcleod foresaw That was the peo-

When Mellen Arrived


1t must have been six or seven years
after Mr.. Mcleod retired after his
plans collapsed that Mr.. Mellen was
brought from the presidency of the
Northern Pacific into New England,
which was his first important railroad
field There was not unannimity of
opinion in the New Haven directorate
when the time came for choosing a
successor as president of the New
Haven railroad system of the
late John n. Hall. 1t was always
been the understanding among railway
men that Williams Rockefeller and 9TH
ers of the New Haven directorate fa-
vored the election of Percy Todd, who
is now president of the Bangor and
Aroostook railway system. Mr. Morgan
however had long admired the manner
in which Mr.. Mellen operated the
Northern Pacific railroad and he is
understood to have been urgent in his
support of Mr.. Mellen as president of
the New Haven company. Very likely
he knew what Mr. Mellen's stupendous
plans for the unification of the railway
systems through New England were.
They We're of a kind to appeal strongly
to man of the intellectual charac-
teristics of Mr.. Morgan. What Pres
ident Mcleod. with the Reading rail-
road as the parent system, was not
permitted to do President Mellen, with
ehe new maven rairoad as the parent
system, was encouraged to do There
were many things which We're not in
President McLeod's mind as. for in
stance, the acquisition of trolley lines
But at the time President Mcleod was
making spectacular entry into New
England trolley lines were few, for the
development of the highway trolley
had only just begun.
The probabilities are that the res
1gnation of Mr.. Mellen means either
postponement or ending of the plans
identified with his administration
the unirieation of the railway
system through New England wit
one or two exceptions was to be ac
com mplished. The incident is mos
emphatic proof of the unwillingness o
the people, or many of them to submi
themselves to monopolistic control by
a single railroad company.

PIERCE CONTROLS OIL CO..
Completes Purchase of Stock
Held by Rockefeller interests.

tBy Telegraph TO The Tribune
ST. Louis. Feb. 1.-The Waters-Pierce
oil Company announced this afternoon
that Henry Clay Pierce, chairman of its
board Of directors, had completed the pur-
chase OF all the Waters-Pierce stock
owned by John ID. Rockefeller and other
Standard Oil interests.
This purchase gives Pierce control OF
nearly the entire capital stock Of the
Waters Pierce company. The company is
capitalized for only 100000. but the stock
has been quoted recently at more than
5000 share
The Standard OIL interests owned APP
proXimately two-thirds of the stock and
Pierce one-third. The Standard tried last
February to Dust Pierce and his reia-
tives as directors and managers OF the
company. This led TO a long court pro-
ceeding Pierce charged that the Stand
ard interests were trying to perpetuate
the monopoly ordered dissolved by the
United States Supreme Court. The Stand
ard interests charged Pierce with mis-
management and with making the com
pany family affair by the employment
Of his relatives in important Offices. After
numerous postponements the case was
settled out Of court In November 1872,
through the sale by several large share
holders TO Mr.. Pierce and his associates.

Infectious Cases May Be Sent
to Willard Parker Hospital.

Under a new regulation of the Depart
ment of Health. surgical cases developing
scarlet fever or diphtheria In general
hospitals will be admitted to Willard
Parker Hospital and will be cared for by
surgeons attached TO the medical board
of that hospital. For this purpose four
assistant attending surgeons have recent
" been appointed to the staff Of Willard
Parker Hospital Notice to this effect
will be sent to superintendent OF all hos
pitfalls and dispensaries.
Heretofore there has been no rule rigid
~ adhered to by the department I'm its
attitude toward surgical cases in public
institutions when the patient, after being
admitted TO these institutions, was at
tackled by some one of the contagious
diseases. A complete history of the case
must be received by the ambulance sur
geon before n patient is removed
At the Kingston Avenue Hospital and
at Riverside Hospital on North Brother
Island no visiting surgical staff exists
at the present time. so surgical cases
suffering from contagious diseases will
not be admitted to these hospitals unless

tinued by the institution from which

ISOLATION IS INEFFECTIVE
Health Board Modifies Policy
for Diphtheria and Measles.

Notifications in its policy In regard TO
disinfection in diphtheria and measles
were announced yesterday by the Depart
ment of Health In its weekly bulletin
These notifications follow a report sub
mltted by Dr. Hermann NJ Blggs. general
medical officer of the department.
The isolation which is nomnally en-
forced in tenement houses, it is pointed
out, is really wholly ineffective so far as
preventing the spread Of infections to
other members OF the household is con-
cerned.
Speaking of the attitude of the depart
ment toward diphtheria, the bulletin says:
In diphtheria experience has shown that
diphtheria bacilli, as a rule, die in a short
time after drying and exposure to light,
and that when person suffering from
diphtheria has completely convslesced
and the throat Is free from dphtheria
bacilli there Is little likelihood of any
infection from the sickroom If the pa
tent is removed from the sickroom dur
ing the height of the illness. or dies at
this period. the room. with its contents.
will be dsinfected, and all goods exposed
10 the contagion will be returned after
disinfecton BY steam.
II is pointed out that in measles also
experience has shown there Is little like
lihood OF any infection from the sickroom
when the person suffering from the dis
ease has completely convalesced. The
method of procedure is similar to that in
dphtheria, with the exception that goods
are not removed for disinfection after the
death or recovery of cases of measles.
