HOUSE TO ACT PROMPTLY
UPON SEAMEN'S BILL
Several Members Anxious to
Take Whack at ''Ship-
ping Trust"

Prompt action on the ''seaman's servi-
tude BILL" which passed the Senate this
week. is expected in the House OF Rep
resentatives after the beginning OF the
regular session In December. The menu
bers of the House who are prone to at
tack the shipping trust" have already
laid their plans to give the bill warm
welcome as soon as it Is reported from
the committee on merchant marine, as
there are several sections In the bill
which are declared to be written espe-
cially for the benefit of seamen who
have suffered many Ills that laboring
men on land have shaken or long ago.
An International aspect is given to the
bill. as several treaty regulations are In.
volved. One OF the most serious Is the
section which provides standard of skill
in the able seamen of three years serv-
Ice on deck at sea or on the great lakes.
Requirements Strict.
1t Is claimed that the requirements OF
the bill are so strict that shipping will
be diverted from American to Canadian
ports. The section is new to American
maritime law. requiring within one year
after the bill is enacted that 20 per cent
Of the deck crew shall be able seamen of
three; years experience. and the proper
ton is increased to u per cent for the
fifth year after enactment.
1t also provides that no vessel shall be
permitted to leave any port of the United
States unless carrying a crew not less
than IS per cent of which Is able to UNI
derstand any order given by the officer
Of such vessel.
Lifeboat regulations are stringent the
manner of paying seamen Is made more
favorable to the men. and in general the
seaman is given much easier berth
than he has had hitherto.

INGENIOUS BEARS STEAL
FOOD OF CAVALRYMEN
Soldiers in Yellowstone Ma
ti0naf Park Reimbursed
$1,000 for Loss.

Some time ago the soldiers of Troop /,
LIST United States Cavalry, submitted to
the War Department claim to be re-
imbursed to the amount of $1O,SO to
cover the loss of fresh beef eaten up by
bears The troop is stationed in the
Yellowstone National Park for the pur-
pose of keeping the American souvenir
hunter from Juggling off some of the
geysers or other natural wonders.
1t seems that every livipg creature in
the park respects the authority of Uncle
Sam as represented by the soldiers, ex-
cept the bear. of which there are num-
erous colonies. Some of them are re-
ported to be as cunning as Bowery
crook. Nevertheless the War Depart
ment was doubtful about allowing Troop
1 to collect it's $1O.sO without having very
full information. SO the claim was sent
back for further explanation.
Soldiers Ingenuity Taxed.
Then it was learned that all of the
ingenuity of the soldier had been call
ed upon to devise means whereby he can
outwit bruin and keep him from appro-
priating the rations.
In the particular case causing the In
quiry the rations consisted OF quantity
Of fresh meat. Accompanying the re-
port of the commanding officer, Col. l..
NJ Brett, was a sketch showing how the
meat was kept and the bears methoo
of getting it.
The diagram shows that the stolen meat
was contained in a screened box resting
on a frame suspended in midair by wires
attached to four large trees forming
SQUARE The meat was put into ana taken
from the box by means of long ladder
which was removed when not in use. How
the bears managed to get the meat Is not
known positively, but it is surnised that
one of them climbed one of the trees and
made the long jump to the frame. in doing
which it knocked the box to the ground,
where his comrades easily broke 1t open
and devoured the contents.
Thought Meat Bear Proof.
Just before that the station had been
inspected by the troop commander. who
declared the housekeeping arrangement
to be proof against the raids of, bears II
,, was known that bears can climb a tree
to any height unless it be sheathed with
tin, iron or similar material. II was
thought that sheathing was unnecessary
in this instance. as it was believed that
no bear could reach the box by way OF
the wires without himself falling to the
ground.
On the additional representations to the
authorities of the War Department the
claim of SioSO was allowed, bat with the
suggestion that additional precautions b.
taken TO safeguard the meat in the future
ITO that end the soldiers have adopted
! the plan of fastening the boz securely to
the frame so that il can neither De
opened nor thrown to the ground. 1t Is
admitted that If that had been done In
| the first place the bear would have failed
. to get his prize, and the government
saved a large spool of red tape and tn,

Commissioner Harding spoke of the

quests for improvements which the Com
missioners had received not only from
the various citizens associations of the
District. but from private citizens as well.
All these requests. he continued, were be-
fore the board when the estimates were
being considered and in NEARLY every in
stance the Commissioners went out over
the ground and studied conditions in or
der to give every item proper considera-
tion One Of the first things the board
did was to find out just how much money
large amount available this year-more
than heretofore-he said. the Commits
sloners started out with liberal ideas.
One of the first things done was to
give consideration to the personnel of
the District government. He said that
there were many faithful employees who
were deserving of an increase in salary.
After that came the question of inn
provements in the District When all
matters had been considered it was found
that the estimates exceeded by several
hundred thousand dollars the limit OF
fourteen million dollars. The work OF
cutting down some of the proposed in
creases in salaries. and the improve
ments was then necessary. He in
formed his listeners that the Commits

DISCOVERY Of SERUM
FOR CURE Of TYPHOID
Surgeon Tests Injection From
Blood of Typhoid
C0nvaleScentS.

SAN FRANCISCO. October 25-A new
treatment of typhoid fever. based on the
injection of serum drawn from typhoid
convalescents, was announced here by DR..
George r.. Carson Of the Southern Pacific
Hospital, at the annual convention of Pa
cific coast railway surgeons.
Now that prophylatic vaccination
against typhoid has been proved success
full said DR.. Carson. next must follow
some curative agent. vaccine. serum Or
chemical combination-which shall rob
typhoid Of its terrors. its third week of
complication. It's prolonged exhaustine
fever and its sequels. I feel that we are
now on the threshold OF its discovery and
that we shall soon be able to abort ty-
phoid.'
Typical typhoid cannot be produced
among animals. Dr. Carson explained;
hence, his recourse to the blood of con-
valescents who had acquired immunity
by their victory over the disease.
Blood Drained of Serum.
First the convalescent's blood is drawn
off and permitted to stand until the
filter to remove it's cellular elements and
insure sterilization. An injection into
the tissues of the patient follows.
After Injection continues the doctor,
there is usually rise In temperature
which gradually recedes, reaching nor
NAL the next day. In three or four days.
If the temperature continues to rise. the
second injection is. given. It has been
necessary to give three or four injections
to a case.
Used in Four Cases.
up to the present time I have used the
serum on but four cases. and it Is toe
early to draw any definite conclusions
However, l must say that I have felt
rather pleased and encouraged The
serum treatment seems to abort the dis
ease. severe case is rendered mild.
There was no local reaction at all at the
site after the injection"
