Run1ors Which Caused Alarm
to Be Felt in Haskell
Are Quieted.
IFrom a stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June 27.-To quiet
the alarm felt by many of the resi-
dents of Haskell, n j., who feared
that the powder plant there was
going to be put out of business, Rep
resentative William Z. Tuttle called
ON the secretary of the navy today.
After going over the situation care
fully with the head of the navy de-
partment the representative from the
Fifth New Jersey district was able
10 senl word back to his constitu-
ents and neighbors that there was no
immediate danger of the manufacture
of powder being suspended in Has
kell.
There has been a persistent rumor
among the several hundred men en-
ployed in the powder plant in Pas
sale county near the orthern end OF
Morris county that the big Dupont
powder trust, of which this is n
smaller body, would force the closing
of the plant in Passaic county.
The government appropriation for
powder making this year went mainly
to the concern at Indian Head, and
the story was started on the rounds
that the Dupont people would con-
centrate their powder making in the
bigger plant. This frightened the
men. anu lutft ART dbuuA ofv VI AAiN

Cabell appeared in Washington II

what truth there was in the rumors
OF the proposed shutdown. He ap-
Piled TO Congressman Tuttle, and the
latter assured him. from his knowl'
edge of the situation, that there was
no likelihood of the Haskell plant
being shut down for lack Of orders
this year. To make assurance doubl1
sure. and at the same time to have
the official stamp placed upon th'
assurance. the congressman tool

TEACHING PUBLIC,
DOCTORS DUTY

ATLANTIC CITY, June 2a-To
educate the public regarding medical
matters in order to prolong life, the
whole administrative power OF the
American Medical Association will
be brought to bear during the COM
ing year DIR. Victor c. Vaughan,
the newly elected president of the as
sociation, made this statement at the
close of the congress
Dr. Vaughan made it clear that the
work of the American Medical As
sociation had grown from mere
gathering of physicians TO discuss
technical subjects into an organiza-
ton devoted to the service of man
kind For the first time 4,500 prac-
titioners assembled and discussed
matters of public Importance, child
labor laws. legislation regarding
health, social service and topics haV-
ing direct bearing upon the general
welfare as well as the physical well
fare, of the nation.
During the coming year, said Or.
Vaughan, the policy of the admins
trative branch of the association will
be a definite o ne-we shall spend our
time and money in education Con-
ditions have changed. Once 1t was
simply a matter of a physicians duty
TO MS patient. II li6tu ildS
The physician must now go TO the
public"
Doctor Vaughan said the associa
tion would expend large sums of
money in preparing medical matter
for the newspapers.
I'm the course of our sessions" he
continued. there has been one note
that of service TO the public. 1t is
exceedingly difficult to say what has
been the most important scientific
matter presented, but the most inn
portant thing. in my estimation, is the
attitude shown by the profession re-
garding the health of the nation at
large. The profession realizes the
necessity of teaching the public"
DR.. Vaughan said the salient points
of the Congress We're the lights cast
upon cancer, pellagra and typhoid
fever, While interested in the radium
treatment Dr. Vaughan said he
would prefer to await future develop
ments before expressing a definite
opinion % to its merits. Cancer pre-
sents the most difficult problem in the
field of contagious diseases, according
to DR. Vaughan. The contributions
during the convention, he believes,
will assst in determining the cause
of the disease

CONSIDER PLANS
To REORGAN|zE
CtAFt|N STORES
Creditors Cooperate With Re-
ceivers-Find Figures
Reassuring.

NEW YORK, June 27.-While no
definite plans have been decided upon
for the reorganization of the H. B.
Cla1in Company, which went into the
hands of receivers on Thursday. three
possibilities are said to be under con-
sideration.
The first of these provides for an
actual consolidation of the Claflin
chain or stores. instead of having
the union vested in stock ownership
by John Claflin. This plan would
make the New York house in effect a
purchasing agency for the retail
stores and cut it off from relations
with any other stores.
The second plan would retain the
strong members of the group of stores
and provide for the liquidation of
the others.
The third proposal provides for the
taking over of the stores by the banks
of the cities in which they are located.
The banks would then determine
whether individual reorganization
should be brought about.
J. B. Martindale and Frederic A.
Juillard. the receivers, expect to be
able to present a condensed state
ment Of the affairs of the II. B. Claf-
lin Company to the creditors in about
ten days. In the meantime. the vari-
Gus committees representing the note
holders, merchandise creditors and
others are cooperating with Mr.. Claf-
lin with a view of prompt reorganiza
tion.
1t was stated today that when the
report of the receivers committee is
made public, it viii show a substan-
tial part of the company's loans were
made to it by employees.
A suggestion Of this practise came
before Judge Hand yesterday when
attorneys for the receivers applied TO
the court for the release of S70I04
held in the moneys of the Defender
Manufacturing Company, a Clafiin
subsidiary.
This company employed $50 girls.
Each summer they set aside % or so
cents a week for a vacation fund.
This money was deposited with the
company. Judge Hand signed the or
der of release, assuring the girls the
immediate use of this money.
BRIDGEPORT, Pa. June 27-The

CONGRESSMEN CAN WAIT
TO PAY INCOME TAX
Uni'ed fress Day Service)

(Un1' ed freSS Day SerVlce)
Washington, Jan. 23.-Although
they themselves are responsible for
the new income tax law, under which
taxes are assessed, beginning March
l, 1913, senators and representatives
are jubilant today over a ruling which
exempts them from having their sal
aries taxed before next May at least.
While most folks subject to the tax
are "ponying up for the ten months
of 1913 and all of this year, the con-
gressmen are immune from the new
tax for months to come. Bachelors
of Congress will be hit first by the
new tax. They will have the l per
cent deducted from their salaries on
May 4. Married congressman will
have the tax taken from their sal
aries on July A.
A treasury department ruling upon
the income tax is responsible for the
apparent favoritism shown congress
men under the new law. Although
the tax went into effect last March.
the treasury department ordered that
the l per cent be deducted cat the
source"-the Senate and the House
sergeants- t-arms, who pay congress
sional salaries-only upon payments
in excess of $4,000 during last No
vember and December. AS congress-
men are paid their $500 salaries
in monthly installments Of $625 up
on the fourth day of each month, this
treasury department order resulted in
escape of the income tax by all con-
gressmen who received $3.50 on the
two paydays in November and De-
cember.
Now the sergeants-at-arms rule
that they cannot deduct the income
tax from congressional salaries until
after each member has been paid $3,-
900 or more. This is because of con-
tingencies that member might die
or resign and thus not have an in
come OF over 9o,UOO before Ine pay
day of May 4, when members will
have received five checks for $625 cash
for the five months of 1914
AS married men are exempt up to
$4,000, it will be July a before the
married Legislators will have received
over $4,000 and be subject to the !
per cent salary deduction for collec-
tion of the tax "at the source" while
the bachelors, paying on income ovel
$4,000, will have their salaries SLICED
beginning May 4.

take new duties on their shoulders
until their return.
Mr.. and Mrs Norton and the latter's

efficient work for the county that their
