DR.. FLEXNER FINDS
THE PARALYSIS
GERM
BACTERIA WHICH KILL so MANN
CHILDREN AT LAST RUN
TO THEIR LAIR

Baltimore, Oct, S.--Dr. Simon Flex-
ner, head of the Rockefeller Institute
for Medical Research, speaking at the
Johns Hopkins hospital anniversary
celebration today, added to what he al
ready has publicly said about his work
on infantile' paralysis.
a year ago Dr.. Flexner, said here
that he believed he had cultivated the
germ Of the dread disease. Formerly
this germ was believed to be invisible
and it had been shown that it passes
through filters which will hold back
particles as large as the ordinary bac-
terra.
Germ Visible.
Today DR.. Flexner reported that by
cultivating the germ on special kind
of nourishing material 1T became vis-
ible with high-power microscope,
and that it is at least one-fifth the
size of any known form Of bacteria.
When he made his prior announce
ment he had. not been successful in
reproducing the disease in animals by
injection of the culture Of this germ.
BY his special methods he announced
that he had now accomplished this
purpose and that accordingly the proof
is irresistibly brought that the disease
is caused by germ.
Carriers Of Disease.
Il The doctor said that he believed
that the disease was transmitted
through the respiratory channels, rath-
er than by insects, as some have held
and he advanced the theory that per-
fectly healthy persons often carried the
germ in their bodies and infected chill
dren; that there were carriers" of in
fantile paralysis, just as it is known
that there are carriers" Of typhoid
and diptheria, who, while transmitting
these diseases to others, do not suffer
from them themselves.

court makes this clear in the follow

the passage of the Donohue law by
the legislature, which was subsequent

no organized militia in this state and
therefore all that has been done was

The militia of this state consists of

"The governor was authorized to
call any or all OF them to quell the
insurrection, without regard to
whether they belonged to the national
guard Or not. But we have an or
ganized militia. The passage OF the
Donohue bill by the legislature was
not final and never became effective
by virtue of the referendum. 1t re-
quired the approval or the people be-
fore coming a law and this it never
had. If it did not become law for

DETECTIVE BURNS
aILSized Audience Highly Entertained
Talked on Good Citizenship and His Own
Exploits

After he had cancelled his engage.
ment, renewed ii and arrived late at
the theatre last Thursday night, Will
liam J. Burns, the greatest detective of
the country, If not of the world, was
greeted by fair sized audience who
had sat patiently until nearly nine
o'clock in order TO hear from his own
lips narratives of his personal expert
enees in detecting crime and criminals.
The lecture was held under the auspi-
ces of the Putnam High school asso-
citation.
Mr.. Burns announced as his subject,
Good Citizenship, and told the audi
ence in plain spoken manner that
the individual laxity of civic duties
was the largest factor in bringing
about situations which demanded his
services in breaking up political graft
machines in the large cities. A prone.
ness to letting the politicians run the
business of municipal government al
lowed the building of the Ubiquitous
machines by which they obtained a
grasp upon the Threats of public utili-
ties and public service corporations
who had to pay toll TO the boss and
his henchmen in order to get a chance
to do business and to do the business
once the chance had been procured.
1t was plain that the audience was
not listening to any prepared address,
and so full of his subject did the speak
er appear that ii seemed that he could
have gone on indefinitely. His audi
ence would have gladly remained lon
ger than the two hours that he held
| them late as was the hour. When the
| speaker touched on Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt there was ripple of APP
plause. After the lecture In talk
with a citizen he declared his belief
president. He also told the audience
| that woman suffrage was bound TO
/ come.
Mr.. Burns told of his work in vari-
Gus cities in the west and middle west
among the grafters. Howl he cleaned
up San Franciso, Seattle and Detroit,
and the manner in which the boodlers
were induced to walk into the net and
enmesh themselves beyond extrica-
ton.
Ii is to be regretted that more of oul
l. & L..
opportunity TO hear Mr.. Burns. His
talk tends TO quickening of The pub
lie conscience and his advice and sug.
gestions in any community would be
sure to bear fruit as he is an earnest,
forceful, convincing speaker.

Found Missing When Noses Are Counted

Two prisoners, Fred Brown and John
Burns, both charged with burglary, es-
capped from custody as they were EN-
route from the county Jail in Brooklyn
to the superior court room in Putnam,

while boarding car in Danielson.

were taken from the Jail to Danielson
in a wagon. At Danielsen they were
put aboard trolley car for Putnam.
The men entered the car and ii started.
When they reached the Davis switch
a half mile northward 1t was discov-
cred that the two men were missing.
According 10 the four deputy sheriffs
in charge of the prisoners the men
must have escaped before the car
started. They either slipped their
hands through their handouts or the
cuffs became unlocked. In the confu-
sion in getting the men seated lin the
car these two, freed of their shackles,
left by the front door and vestibuie. A
posse iof sheriffs made a search for
them in the vicinity of the Rhode Is
land line which is only four or five
miles from where they escaped. Brown
with two other men broke into store
in Moosup, .and Burns also with two
other men broke into store in East
