TWO INSPECTORS MAY WIN
Murtha and Hussey Convictions
Likely To Be Reversed.

District Attorney Whitman said yester-
day that II the four police inspectors
Sweeney, Thompson, Murtha and Hussey
paid their 500 fines on Monday, when
their years term for conspiracy will eX-
pre-, they would be free men. II would
be impossible. he said. to prosecute fur
ther on any other indictments, as Captain
Walsh, his principal witness. is dead.
4 decision by the Appellate Division on
the appeal which the inspectors took a
few weeks ago is expected tomorrow.
L. is believed that Husssy and Murtha
stand good chance OF having their con-
vctions reversed, az there is some doubt
as to the strength OF the corroborating
testimony in their cases.
II their convictions are reversed they
may apply for reinstatement in the Police
Department and collect their back pay as
captains from the date OF their indict-
nlent until the day OF their reinstatement.

WHEN THE SLEEPER WAKES
Single Man Sees Singular Sight
in Hotel Room.

Had Benjamin Shay garage manager,
Of No. Isl Amsterdam avenue, been a
married man the chances are that when
he awoke early yesterday morning In the
Hotel La Porte and saw a woman going
through his trousers pockets he merely
would have heaved sigh and gone TO
sleep again. AS II was, Shay sat up IN
bed and shouted
What are you doing there?'
I'm looking for raincoat." she smiled,
sweetly IT'S raining in Buffalo and I'm
on my way there"
Shay decided that the woman, who was
young and pretty. was walking in her
sleep. He donned bathrobe and led his
visitor out into the hallway and called the
hotel manager. When he returned TO the
hall and looked for her moment later
she was gone.
Shay ran into the street and saw the
Young woman running up Amsterdam
avenue. lie yelled Police and Patrol
man Mckcnna arrested her. Shay said
81 70 was missing from his pockets, but

DUST WAR URGED TO
HALT DISEASE PROGRESS
High Flying Clouds of Germs
Descend on City-Cause,
Much Illness.

War against dust is urged I'm an article
in the April issue Of 1.-THE Medical Coun-
cll." which puts forward the interesting
theory that new diseases attacking man
in pandemics like grip are due 20 the
so-called cosmic dust.
This cosmic dust is commonly supposed
10 come from the stars, but the sugges-
ton is made that 1t is nothing but com
mon terrestrial dust carried high by the
heat of the tropics or spouted high by
volcanoes and desert whirlwinds. Thou
sands OF tons of such dust fall yearly N
the earth. and 1t is highly charged with
living organisms.
The air, even I'm the most remote sec
tions. is charged with bacteria, and 1t is
reasonable to suppose that the dust clouds
act as cultural media.
I'VE are coming more and more TO real
ize the role OF dust in the etiology and
transmission OF disease; but we have
studied the problem In its local phases.
not I'm its cosmographical relations. This
latter study impresses us as important.
and we advance the theory that organism
charged dust carried thousands OF miles
from its original terrestrial source may
readily cause epidemics of disease.
Sanitation must declare war against
the kingdom of dust"

Mrs. Gilman said there were six kinds
of love-the childs love for the moths'

and aunt came under this head, the
mother love for the child; admiration
that was the love OF alteration or wof
ship; love of home and country, based e.

which gives itself I'm service, asking moth.

nonsense was talked about a Fat pini

This last love may exist without De

kinds" said Mrs Gilman. 1T may or not
be real love.
THE biological key TO the problem o.
