DROPS MEDICAL COURSE.

Hanover, N. H., April %. After the
present junior class has graduated in
1914 Dartmouth will cease to grant the
degree of doctor of medicine. The
medical school, as such, to all intents
will be abandoned. At present it gives
a four-year course. After 1914 Dart
mouth will cease to give instruction in
the studies of the third and fourth years
of the medical course. Instruction in
the studies of the first and second years
will be given in what will be depart
ment of the college, and work in this
department will lead toward the B. S.
degree. Students who pursue success
fully the studies Of this department it
is intended shall be able to enter the
class of the third year of any medical
school.
The trustees say that they have taken
this action because the college has
suffered from the lack of clinical ma
terial Its isolated situation accounted
for this Theoretical study and labora-

an opportunity to take advanced stand
ing in medical schools.
The Dartmouth medical school, the
/ fourth founded in the United States,
was established in 1875, in which year
two degrees of Bachelor of Medicine
were conferred. DR.. Nathan Smith,
Yale, 1890, assisted by DR.. Lyman
Spalding, Harvard, 1897, carried on
the entire work of the school until
1910. In 1912 the school granted the
degree of Doctor of Medicine. Oliver
Wendell Holmes was the professor of
anatomy and physiology from 1888 to
1S4l. The requirements of admission
to the school were the same as to the
college proper until 1909, when the
trustees made requirement of two years
of collegiate work before the study Of
medicine could be begun.
The one hundred and seventeenth
graduation exercises of the school were
held on Friday last, and President
Nichols conferred 10 degrees.

ONE KILLED, ONE DYING.
Catapulted from m a ne
Going Fifty Miles an Hour.

The motor car of Nelson w. Greenhut,
wealthy merchant of New York city,
driven in the Merrick Road on Long
Island last night by James Grim, Mr..
Greenhut's chauffeur, accompanied by
Thomas Conroy, smashed into tele-
graph pole near Springfield while going
at a speed of fifty miles an hour. Grim
was instantly killed and Conroy was re-
ported to be dying at st. Mary's Hos
pital, Jamaica, few hours later. His
skull was fractured, his arms and every
finger of his hands broken. The
machine was utterly wrecked.
The impact with which the car struck
was so hard that the telegraph pole was
shattered, and the shock caused the Fire
Department wires to ring an alarm at
the Jamaica headquarters and in this
manner recorded the time of the acct
dent to have been exactly 6:24 p. m.
Charles Stevens, a farmer, whose
home overlooks the Merrick road, is
responsible for the settlement as tc
speed at which the car was being
driven.
Stevens saw the car flying along
toward curve ahead just as another
car rounded it. Grim made swift anC
plucky effort to avoid collision will
the other car and succeeded. But il
doing so he veered his own car S,
sharply that he lost control of the steer
ing gear and the collision with the tele
phone pole followed.
Grim was thrown head first agains
the pole and his head was crushed Con
roy was thrown twenty feet along tn
road. Those in the other motor car ha
continued sweeping down the road a
high speed themselves, and if they say
the accident, which is improbable, di
not halt.
Stevens telephoned to St. Mary Hos
pital and an ambulance was sent to tn
scene. Both men were taken to tn
hospital, although it was obvious fror
the first that Grimm had died instantly

II Injured $ Motor Hits Team

Holliston, March O.-Two persons
We're badly hurt and nine others slightly
injured today when an automobile,
operated by Michael Bacca of Worces-
ter struck team driven by George T.
Hutchins, monument dealer of Mil
ford
Hutchins received bad cut on his
head and had his left leg broken. His
l4-year-old son Roy had his left leg
and right hip broken. Another of
Hutchin's sons escaped with a few
bruises.
Riding in the wagon We're two town
officers: Benjamin j. Fairbanks and
Oliver P. Whittemore, who were slightly
hurt. Whittemore arrested Bacca.
Bacca was cut and bruised. His
father had a broken wrist and his
brother Ralph, his mother and two
sisters sustained painful bruises.
The automobile, in trying to pass the
wagon, struck a rear wheel, causing

Auto Struck Bridge.

DR.. C. E. Ward of Hartland and
Lewis Kelley of Windsor were injured
in an automobile accident at Hubbard
bridge, two miles from White River
Junction Sunday. Two other men were
in the car, which was owned by the
doctor.
The car struck the end of the bridge
head-on, throwing Kelley 25 feet to
the river bank below and breaking one
rib. He was removed to the hospital
at Hanover, N. H. DR.. Ward was
badly bruised and is at a hotel. The
injuries to the other two men were
bruises.
That all four men escaped alive is
remarkable, as the car was well over
the cement wall and the impact with
the wooden bridge was so great as to
smash the end for three feet.

CHILDREN IN COTTON INDUSTRY
10000 Employed According to
Latest Census Figures.

One in 10 of all the wage-earners
employed in the manufacture of cotton
is under l6 years of age, according to
the Bulletin of Manufactures just is
sued by the census bureau. The ma
tional child labor committee points out
that the textile industries are still the
largest employers of children in fac
tories, for this bulletin based on the
census of 1910 shows 40,22l employed
in the manufacture of cotton goods,
II, Ill in the hosiery and knitting mills,
9942 in the wooden and felt industry and
8l43 in silk factories. The bulletin
shows also 1,035 workers under 16
engaged in canning and preserving and
rs, 951 scattered among n other manu-
featuring industries.
The largest percentages of factory
workers under 16 are found in the
South Atlantic states and Alabama
the next largest in Rhode Island and
Massachusetts. 1t should be noted
that these figures do not include the
great child-employing occupations such
as merchantile establishments. mes
senger service, home workers and

ACTORS WIFE KILLED.
Mrs. n. 3. Warner Caught Under
Machine in Upset.

New York, April 2O.-Mrs. H. B.
Warner, wife of the actor, was killed
this afternoon in an automobile accident
on Merrick Road, about a half mile
west of Seaford, L. l., near Massappe-
qua. The actor, who was in the auto
mobile with his wife. escaped almost
miraculously without serious injury and
was able to return to the city tonight.
According to the statements of other
Automobiles who were on Merrick
road, in the vicinity of the accident,
the chauffeur in the automobile that
approached the Campbell machine, be-
fore overhauling the latter sounded his
horn as a signal that he would pass.
1t was further said that Mr.. Campbell
was driving his automobile almost in
the center of the road.
The second automobile was driven
by Edward Baker of Queens. Baker
steered his machine to the left of the
Campbell automobile and came along
side of it. The two automobiles were
running close together as Bakers auto
mobile went little ahead of the Camp
bell machine.
Thinking that he had cleared the au-
tomobile in which Mr.. Campbell was
riding with Mr.. and Mrs. Warner, the
chauffeur of the Steinway car started
to turn to the right in front of it. APP
parently as he did so a heavy wind,
such as was sweeping in gusts over this
section all during the day, caught the
windshield of the first automobile raised
to its full height and caused the Stein
way machine to swerve in to the right
more sharply than was probably calcu
lated by the chauffeur.
Members of the Campbell party, whc
were the first to disentangle themselve.
from the overturned automobile, called
for help. Their cries were heard b,
Wilbur Southland and Charles Seaman
whose homes were near the accident
The two men hurried to the spot at tn
same time that several passing auto
mobiles drove up. Attempts to NOV
the car off the body of Mrs. Warne
were ineffective until Southland and Sea
man ran to the side of the road and OBJ
tanned some fence rails which they use
to pry the heavy machine up.
When the injured woman was re
moved from the wrecked automobil
she was unconscious, but showed sign
, of life. She was hastily placed in on
of the machines that had driven uI
and hurried to the Babylon Hospita
but died shortly after her arrival

TO AVOID CHILDREN.

In order to avoid running down four
school children while responding to a
call for practice drill, Norman
D'Arthenay, driver of the single-hitched
team OF the Montpelier fire department,
refined his steed so sharply to one side
that the apparatus was tipped over and
the driver, together with Chief Pattee,
who was riding on the rear, was thrown
off at the corner of Main and School
streets. Neither fireman was injured,
but the apparatus was somewhat
damaged, as was the vehicle. The
children, Ruth and Esther Barrett,
Margaret Lehy and Lucille Carroll,
aged 6 to 8 years, escaped injury. They
were returning home from parochial
school when the fire apparatus came
along Main street to the Union school,
where the practice drill was to be held.
The children lodged in front of the
team and Driver D'Arthenay pulled his
horse to the right, causing the wagon,
which was rather top-heavy with
ladders, ETC., to careen and then
flop over. Chief Pattee went off as the
wagon tipped, and the driver was
thrown over the ladders and up on the
terrace in front of the Kellogg Hubbard
library.

BIGGEST SUSPENSION BRIDGE.
Structure Over Hudson at New
York will be $3.50 Feet Long.

New York, April 28. The tallest
bridge towers in the world will loom
over the Hudson when the states of
New York and New Jersey erect the
great suspended roadway that is now
being planned. From bedrock to pin
nacle the twin towers will be 745 feet
high, only 255 feet short of the height
of the Eiffel tower. Their height over
water will be 600 feet. This along with
other feature of the proposed bridge
was outlined to the legislature in a
report submitted Saturday by the New
York state bridge and tunnel commits
sion. If approval is obtained from the
legislatures and the problems of finance
are solved the bridge will be finished
probably by 1920. Its estimated cost is
$42, 600, 900, which takes in the price to
be paid for real estate, engineering
expenses and all other details of the
project.
The commission came to the conclu-
sion that the best place to locate a
bridge would be between 57th and 5Sth
streets in Manhattan, from Ninth ave-
nue. to the Boulevard in Weehawken.
1t is suggested also that a bridge coulc
be built across the Hudson at 1l0tf
street and that 10th street at Fort
Washington Park would be another
excellent location. AS the plans stanC
now bridge 1880 feet long is to be
built. 1t will have two driveways eacf
&c feet wide, and two sidewalks eacl
eight feet wide, in addition to the road
ways for trolley cars.

TWO HURT AVOIDING DOG
Auto Overturns in Effort to Spare
Animal in Brockton.

Suffering from cuts and bruises and a
dislocated hip sustained when his auto
mobile turned turtle as its driver tried
to avoid running over a dog, DIR. David
j. Ingraham of 1872 Walnut street,
Brookline, was removed to his home
from the private hospital of DR.. Samuel
Goddard in Brockton.
Daniel La Chappelle, who was driving
the machine at the time of the accident
in Brockton Heights Saturday after
noon, had sufficiently recovered from
bruises and a strained knee to go to his
home in Boston. DR.. Ingraham prob
ably will have to remain in bed for some
days.
DR.. Ingraham and Mr.. La Chappelle
in small five-passenger car, were driv-
ing through Brockton Heights when a
dog owned by druggist whose store
was near ran out into the road directly
in the path of the automobile.
Mr.. La Chappelle swerved when he
saw that he would run over the animal,
and he turned so sharply that the
light car suddenly tipped over to the
right, pinning both occupants under it.
A portion of the wind shield caught Mr.
La Chappelle so that he could hardly
breathe. The glass from the shield fel

on his arm, side and leg, and bruises
when the side of the car pinned hin

FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1913.
WHY AMERICA HAS DUG THE
PANAMA CANAL,

Why has America succeeded in build
ing the Panama Canal where France
failed? Was it because we had more
money, better men or better tools? No,
it was because the French died so fast
that they could not make any progress.
The French, with an average force of
10, 600 employees, lost from death dur
ing their construction period $4,000
men. We, with an average force of SO,
600 men during abont the same length of
time have lost from death 1000 The
French, with an average of |, 800 white
employees, lost during their construc-
ton period from yellow fever 2, 900 men.
We, with an average of 5000 white en-
ployees during the same length of time,
have lost from yellow fever only
eighteen. The important question,
however, is the health of the American
employees. During the year 1911 we
had 10, 4S9 American whites connected
with the commission. Their death-rate
from disease was a. as per thousand. Of
these 10, 489 Americans, 6,025 were men
and 4 ,464 women and children. The
death.rate from disease among the men
was 2.S2 per thousand. That among
the women and children from the same
cause was 6.72 per thousand. These
facts are taken from a recent adj
dress, at Johns Hopkins University
by Col VIM. Gorgas, Chief Sanitary
Officer of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission. His address appears in re-
cent issue of the Journal of the Ameri-
lean Medical Association. Speaking of
the condition of the Americans now in
the Canal Zone, Col. Gorgas says 81
think a still better way of satisfying
oneself with regard to health condi-
lions is direct observation of the Amer
lean employees. They as a class are
rugged and healthy-looking, of good
color, and energetic and active in move
ment. They look more like the farmer
and his family of the northwest than
like people who have lived in the tropics
for four or five years.

post.

Excitement and apprehension was
caused yesterday at One Hundred and
ninety-seventh street and the River
road Drive extension at the spectacle of
youth and pretty girl together on
motorcycle whose steering gear had
broken and which was plunging wildly
along the street. The machine finally
brought up with an eccentric turn, and
smashed into lamp post, hurting the
boy and girl fifteen feet.
Both narrowly escaped being thrown
directly in front of huge limousine
car that was going toward them briskly
but the chauffeur put on brakes in time
to avert running them down.

the streets of the upper West side, with
muffler open and the speedomet ter show
ing an occasional burst of Wander
bilt cup speed with an average of 40
miles an hour, low-built racing auto
mobile was run to earth early today
after continuous chase of three hours
in which a motorcycle policeman led a
fleet of private cars.
The pursued machine, driven by its
owner, William Gehhause, an auto
dealer, had struck and knocked down
three women who were crossing Fifth
avenue at One Hundred and Thirteenth
street The accident was witnessed by
three men in another motor car, and
they started the pursuit, in which
Motorcycle Policeman 6chrttliiftt almost
Immediately joined. The pursued car
ran the gauntlet of hail of fire from
Ochenhirt's revolver and the guns OF
one policeman after another who, at
tracted by the noise of the pursuit,
stepped out from street corners anC
blazed away, hoping to strike tire OF
cripple the machinery of the flying car.
The pursued car was driven with con-
sumnate skill. Twice it leaped in front
of street cars and missed them by frac-
tons of inches, causing the pursuers tc
slow up and increase the gap.
