FEWER BICHLORIDE DEATHS.
Dr. G. +. Pabst Thinks New Ordi-
nance Has Excellent Eject.

Or. Charles F. Pabst. who was instru-
mental in having the ordinance restrict
ing the sale of bchloride OF mercury
passed, gave figures yesterday for the
first three months OF the laws operation.
March to June 1. They show only ten
deaths from mercury In the Ave boroughs,
six having been suicides and four acct
dental.
The deaths from bchloride in 1913
were forty-four, but. although the fig-
urcs for the last three months show an
average decrease of only one death. Or.
Pabst thinks the decrease Is much greater
because the deaths in 1913 increased from
two or three a month to a large number
In the last months before the ordinance
went Into effect.
The law prohibits the sale of the poison
except on physicians prescriptions, and
provides for tablets of a distinctive size

Fine for L. s. Officials
Who Neglect Jobs.

WASHINGTON, Juno s-The announce
ment recently In Philadelphia that secre-
tary Bryan and certain members OF
Congress had signed contracts to appear
on the Chautauqua circuit this summer
has prompted Representative Britten OF
Illinois to offer bill making such activi-
ties on the part OF public officials VIOLA
ton OF law. Mr.. Britten believes that
Department heads and members Of Con-
gress should stick to their public Jobs
and leave the Chautauqua field to yodel-
ers. tumblers and other performers Of that
KIND
His bill proposes an amendment to the
Penal Code making 1t unlawful for any
Government official or member Of Con-
gress TO deliver an address for pay other
than his actual hotel and travelling ex-
penses during the time he occupies such
position The bill provides for a fine of
not more than $4,000 and Imprisonment

the Congressman to-day, land I am at
a loss TO understand how the Secretary
can consistently leave his Office when q
state OF war practically exists between
this country and Mexico and the foreign
policy Of our Government Is being laughed
at By every civilized nation on earth.
This certainly is no time for Mr. Bryan
to be hiking around the country doing one
night stands with Tyrolean yodelers, con-
tortlonists and slclght OF hand artists, and
| am equally opposed to members of Con-
gress doing this sort of thing when
Congress Is in session
at Is my firm belief that had Mr.. Bryan
remained in Washington during the last
year when the Mexican situation was
broiling instead of iecturing for pay the
Government would stlll be in possession
of the valued services of John Bsssett
Moore. whose general knowledge In deal
ing with forelgn relations Is now so sadly
needed In the Department Of state.
Mr., Bryan's continued absence from
hts office made II necessary for Mr.. Moore
to assume responsibilities which were not
satisfactory TO the premier and which
ultimately caused his resignation.
"lf Cabinet officers and members Of
Congress cannot live on pay provided for
their positions they should either demand
an increase In salary or should resign
from the service in favor OF others who
are not 30 attractive on the Chautauqua

NEW HARMONY. Ind. June Sex
President Taft, the chief speaker at the
centennial celebration OF the founding OF
New Harmony to-day. declared that the
Communst.c experiment OF Robert Owen
had failed because in eliminating the in
stitution of private property 1t had with
drawn the motive essential to arouse
and make constant human effort.
The experiment OF George Rapp, ne
said, was successful for time because
the men and women of the community
found in the intensity of their religious
belief spur 10 the industry and self
sacrifice which made possible their living
In harmony and usefulness without the
reward Of private property being held
before them as a motive for activity.
In his opinon socialism, so long as
men are imperfect beings. VIII either h.
a failure or IL will 81, up tyranny SO
rigid as to destroy the right OF liberty
and to interfere with the pursuit of hap
pness.
Describing the community founded by
Robert owen after Rapp and his adher-
ents sold out their property, Mr.. Taft
said that Il was one OF many experiments
all of which We're designed not to work
out any new plan for society and social
progress but rather to permit their mem
bers to live satisfactory religious com
munity existence.
II shall not" he continued, stop to
discuss socialism In general. or what II
means, for II might be difficult to give
an accurate definition, so varying are the
views OF persons who call themselves So
cialists. But no one can read the history
of these isolated efforts in the direction
of a regeneration OF society on the so
cialistic principle and the abolition OF the
institution OF private property without
a wholesome lesson
They teach the danger OF destroying
what we have that is good in society
and that has been tested by time In order
10 geek a millennium which must rest for
its successful achievement on the eliml-
nation OF all the elements OF human
nature as We know 1t and reforming OF
It that is possible only after hundreds OF

Sing Sing yesterday to tell his own story
OF how he was sent to prison for twenty
years. He came because the testimony
given In his behalf before the Parole Board
was so startling as TO be almost unbe-
lievsble. A lawyer had told of the confess
sion OF his client and another man had
told that he was forced by the police to
identify Schwitofsky as n burglar. The
evidence of a conspiracy seemed SO plain
to Superintendent OF Prisons John B.
Riley that he ordered the prisoner brought
Immediately from the State prison.
Schwtofsky was sentenced on June 6,
1911. lie was the only witness for tho
defence. The chief witness against him
was Theodore B. Dale. "a man who ended
his life the night before he was to be
tried on most serious charge. Those
who identified Schwitofsky were three
women who lived in Dale's house. Schsi-
totsky's lawyer talked with him only flf-
tcen minutes before the trial. He had
been assigned to the case despite his
protests after two other lawyers had
failed TO have their client pronounced m
sane.
