DETAINED At ELLIS ISLAND
Frank Miller, Ten Year-Old Boy Who
Came to Kenosha From Denmark,
Thought to Have Contracted Disease
While Held at Immigration Bureau.

Frank Miller, aged 10 years, a lit
tie Danish boy, who had been in Ke-
nosha for only little over two weeks
and who reached Kenosha only after
q long contest with the immigration
officials at Ellis Island, died at the
home Of Gunnar Hansen on Erie street
this morning from diphtheria. 1t is
alleged that the boy contracted the
disease while being held by the gov
eminent officials at the eastern sea
port. The little boy and a sister and
brother had formerly lived at Copen-
hagen, Denmark. Their sister, Mrs.
Gunnar Hansen, has been resident
of Kenosha for some years and after
the death Of the mother of the family
she decided to bring the sister and
brothers to Kenosha to make her home
their home. The family reunion had
been planned for the holiday season,
but when the children reached Ellis
Island one of the boys showed signs
of suffering from scarlet fever and
he was placed in quarantine. The
government officials started an action
to deport the children to Denmark
and the steamship company operating
the boat on which they had come
to America was notified that it must
take care Of the children. For more
than month the children were held
at the hospital at Ellis Island. Mr..
Hansen in an effort to get the children
to Kenosha signed all kinds of bonds
to provide for their support and do
posted money to pay their expenses.
After a long wrangle over the matter
the children were brought to Kenosha
two weeks ago and shortly after their
arrival the little boy was taken i'll
with diphtheria.
Health Commissioner McShane in
speaking of the case this morning
said: 1t seems reasonable to believe
that the boy contracted diphtheria
while in the hands Of the government
officials in New York. We have made
a close investigation and there seems
to be no reason to believe that he con-
tracted the disease after he reached
Kenosha.'
The case has brought new duty
to the health board and in the future
an effort will be made to have an ex-
animation of aliens who come to Ke-
nosha through the New York immi-
grafton offices. 1t is just possible that
some of the scarlet fever now in the
city came as a result of aliens who
were detained in the New York offices
Of the bureau. There are from six to
ten aliens coming to Kenosha every
day and many Of these are accom-
panied by their children. If the scar
let fever is prevalent in the alien hos
officials at New York and ask that
ficials hold that it is not improbable
that contagion is being brought to the
city in this way DR.. McShane will
at once take up the matter with the
officials at New York and asked that
he be advised of all aliens coming to
Kenosha in time to provide for prop
er examination of them
The funeral Of the little Miller bow
was held this afternoon with inter
ment at the Kenosha City cemetery.

lF INTEREST TO LOCAL MEN
President of Big Fraternal Organization
Speaking at GAINESVILLE, Tells Exactly
What Is Expected of Rates Recently
Adopted-Hits Insurgent Members.


Defense of the new insurance rates
recently promulgated by the supreme
assembly of the Equitable Fraternal
Union has been made by Supreme
President q. A. Williams of Neenah,
speaking on this subject before the
January Assembly.
"The new E. +. y, rates have been
SO drawn" said President Williams,
so that each member pays the cost
Of his own insurance. The order has
abandoned the usual fraternal system
whereby the younger members and IN
crease in membership is expected to
nav the death losses of members who
have not been paying the cost Of their
insurance. No members of the order,
except new ones and those over sixty
years OF age viii have to pay tie new
rates, though they are offered Tie op-
tion of changing their present poll
cies for others Of several iifferent
types. Those who do not change poll
cies until they become sixty years
old will have to pay assessments Of
about Sc q month.
The old age benefit feature of the
y. f. Y. policy, whereby members who
reach the age of seventy years draw
as mach as would be paid to their
heirs in case of death, makes neces
sary the revision Of the insurance
rates With the present rates, assum-
ing that there was no increase in
membership, and that the present
members continued to pay assessments
and lived until of age to receive the
Oh age benefit, the fraternity would
be able TO pay but sixty-two per cent
Of the total amount of insurance
written,
This condition is of course hypothe-
tical but the point Mr. Williams de-
sired to impress was that the new
rates insure full payments of the insur-
ancc carried for all time to come. Up
10 the present year no old age bene-
fits have been paid; only death losses,
bot as the order becomes older the
benefits win probably constitute a
heavy drain on the funds
Earlier in The meeting communi-
cation was read from Charles ]. Ira
kel, president of the Waukesha AS
sembly, and secretary of the Associa-
ton Of Opposition. This association
at meeting held in Milwaukee on
January ] /, took steps toward the OPP
posing of the new rates. 1t was de-
cidod to take legal steps to enjoin the
supreme council from putting them in
force. Complaint was made that the
rates are exorbitant and designed to
eliminate members from the order as
quickly as they reach sixty years of
age, and that the supreme council is
attempting to convert the order into
an old line insurance company without
the consent of its members. Members
are asked to contribute fifty cents
each to fight the rate raise in the
courts. Considerable discussion follow
ed the reading of the communication,
some of it's adverse, but it was decid-
Cd to defer action upon it until the
next meeting. President Williams
took occasion to deny without qualif-
cation the charge made in the com
munication that the supreme council
had set aside $4,000 to fight the op.
position to the rate increase.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1913-01-30

The growth of the classes in the In
dustrial schools of the city indicate that
the appropriation of $4,000 made by the
council for this work will fall far short
of the actual demands. The work is
notably helpful to the older boys and
girls Of the city and. there is no doubt
but that some way to meet the demands
will be found by the council and the
school board.

PLAN BRAIN OPERATION
TO STOP BOYS GROWTH.
Youth. Almost Seven Feet Tall, Must
Undergo 1t, Say Surgeons.

Surgeons at the MedIco-C hirurgieal
hospital in Philadelphia are interested
in the case of John Michael, not yet
fifteen years of age, whp is six feet
seven inches tall and is still growing
He is outgrowing every organ of his
body.
The boy went to the hospital about
two months ago He was fine speci.
men of manhood in every way. All his
organs We're in Proportion, but his par
ents complained that they could just
see the youth grow. In fact. he would
not attend school or church because
people laughed Mt him.
DR.. Judson Daland and DR.. Theodore
Weisenberg finally determined.that the
only way to stop his growth was to re-
move the pituitary body, gland at
the base of the brain which was once
considered without function. At first
the parents objected, fearing serious
consequences to their son in after
years, but their objections were finally
overcome by the doctors promising to
remove only part Of the organ.
DR.. Daland, who has charge of the
case sailed for Europe a short time
ago. On his return an operation will
be undertaken
In explaining the case DR. Weisen-
berg said that such cases are not rare,
but that the Michael boy has grown
unusually fast even for a case of the
kind.
Operations On the pituitary gland
are frequently performed. he said
"rhey are not dangerous, and the NOR
tally Is almost negative. IL will not
interfere with his mental capabilities
even though it requires a delicate brain
operation II is the only way to re-
lieye the youth"

The Faith Before Christ Came.
The first procla nation OF Gods 'pur
poses respecting humanity was made
to Abraham After Abraham had man.
Tested his faith. God declared that
He would greatly bless him and his
postcrity. so that through him would
eventually come children who would
accomplish the great work OF blessing
mankind and who would rescue all
from the power of sin aud death. In
thee and In thy Seed shall all the fam
lilies OF the earth be blessed
For years God tested Abraham. Yet
"his faith staggered not" After Isaac
had been born and MS yet had no child.
God directed that this son Of promise
be sacrificed. What grand develop
ment OF faith Abraham had acquired
when he was ready to obey, accounting
that God was able to raise Isaac from
the dead! o the blessing OF such faith.
II was the same with isanc and IN
cob. That promise Influenced the whole
course Of their lives. Although they
understood practically nothing of how
God would accomplish so great bless
ing, yet their faith laid hold upon the
fact. 1t made them more like God. II

would give instruction 10 the angels
