roads for general increase in

railroad securities must be paid by
greater earnings for the railroads II
they were to be made so desirable to
Euro ,ean investors that they would

cratic member of Congress from Speaker
Clark down who will not admit privately
that business IL depressed, and that one of
the chief reasons for the depression Is the
uncertainty in which 1t has been placed
by the programme insisted on by the
President.
Most Of the Representatives say they
Believe that the President is asking too
mitch for one session. but comparatively
few OF them have mustered up enough
courage to tell tho President so. Speaker
Clark Is one OF the most vigorous OPP
ponents of the long session, and, while he
has stopped calling at the White House,
It Is known that he has sent word to the
President through some of his close
friends, that unless Congress quits soon
the Democrats stand to lose much, II not
all OF their majority at the coming cleo
ton. Mr.. Clark, according TO his close
friends, has sent word to the President
that business is bad and that IL will
grow worse unless Congress adjourns and
the uncertainty is stopped.
other Democratic leaders have whisp-
cred the same thing in the Presidents
ear, or In the ears OF his friends, but
there is no sign Of let-up from the
White House. There is ono ray of sun
shine for which the Democratic leaders
are now hoping and praying, and that
Is an increase of freight rates by the
Interstate Commerce Commission. Great
things are expected to happen IL this is
granted, and the Democratic statesmen
want it, whether it is justified or not.
THE "watchful waiting" policy OF the
President In Mexico is also giving much
concern to prospective Democratic candi-
dates for reelection to Congress. and
representatives from the Western states
do not hesitate to say that the tolls ques-
ton makes their return doubtful.
II the President were TO hold secret
poll Of the Democratic members OF the
Senate and the House on the question OF
adjournment he would find them almost
unanimous for adjournment tomorrow.
But the President is firm leader and is
somewhat set in his ways so that Con-
gress must remain in session this sum-
mer with many Of the members fearing
that by doing 80 there will be little hope
of their re election.

TOLL OF MERCURY
DEATH NEARS END
DR.. Pabst Shows Decrease
in Fatalities Here for
Three Months.

DR.. Charles Frederick Pabst. Of 1896
Franklin av., Brooklyn, whose efforts
were a great help in causing the retail
sale of bichloride of mercury tablets in
Greater New York to be restricted TO
physicians prescriptions, is pleased with
the result as shown by the first three
months working of the regulation.

Pabst last night, Il have obtained statis-
tics from the cOroners of all five bOroughs
Of the deaths due to bichloride of mer-
curry poisoning between March l, when the
Health Department regulation came into
force, and June 1, constituting the first
quarter Of the operation of the restric-
ton. I consider the figures most salts
factory
Altogether there were ten deaths due
to this poison in the three months, six
were suicides and four were accidental
cases Three of the accidental deaths
from bichloride were in Manhattan and
one in Brooklyn. OF the suicides, four
were in Manhattan, one in Brooklyn and
one in Queens.
Last year there were forty-four deaths
from mercury poisoning in Greater New
York While that would give an average
of eleven for each quarter, the important
point is that before the regulation was
made the number OF deaths was rapidly
increasing. The average for the quarter
preceding the regulation was much above
the corresponding period last year.
Il expect, however, a still greater de-
crease in the current quarter and later
1t is important TO remember that many
persons had a stock of this poison in
their homes when the regulation was
