not infallihle Is shown By cases where
his analyses were eatirely wrong. MIR.
Balliett mentioned q case where, with
all the power of the Government, he
fought preparation as being danger
Gus to health, and was inglortously
walloped.
There has been spread the idea that
clever faker can mix few useless
ingredients and, by smart advertising.

whereas, as matter Of fact, the medi-
cine business Is VIGOROUSLY difficult,
and, where there has been one success
at 10, there have been a hundred fail.
ures. Any medicine which has no
merit cannot live, beeaase persons
who are duped into buying 1t once win
not buy It again, and the profit from
advertising medicine aan only come
from repeat sales to the same, salts
fed people. Therefore. any medicine
which has been ON the market for q
number OF years. and Is still adver-
tised, must have merit behind IL to 40.
count for its success.
In conclusion MFR. Balfsett declared
that no newspaper il doing justice to
its readers In the matter Of medical
or other advertising. unless 1t inyesti-
gates, not only the wording of the ad-
yertisement offered for publication,
but the merits Of the article adver-
ttsed. He pointed cut that the few
newspapers who have been deludsd
into the policy Of barring out medical
advertising have adopted this general
policy, rather than to form an inves-
tigation bureau of this kind which
could, In a constructive and useful eff
fort, investigate and decide what In
good product and what Is a fraud,
In not only the medicine business, but
in every other business which adyer-
tises Its wares to the public.
The audience seemed to agree with
Mr.. Bailiett's ideas On the subject and
the chairman decided the question at
issue in his favor.

fore Barring Advertisements.

That an organized attempt has been
made to blacken the reputation Of the
popular family remedies OF this coun

publishers into rejecting the adver

charge made by Cart ]. BalIiett, oil
Buffalo. N. Y, at the conventia4 of the
Advertising Atfiliation at Detroit.
MIR. Balliett Is director of the Pro.
prietary Association of America, which
includes In Its membership two hun.
dred firms which make the popular
prepared medicines Of America.
Mr. Balliett pointed out that IL In
the duty OF the newspaper publisher
10 refuse the advertising of any fake
or fraudulent medicine, just as 1t Is
his duty to refuse any fake or fraudu-
lent advertising, but it Is not right 20
shut down On all medical advertising
because there have been some takers.
any more than IL would be right to
refuse 70 publish all department store
advertising because certain stores
have made q practice Of lying about
bargain sales.
Disease and death are mysteries.
People who are perfectly we'll are
skeptieal. They laugh at the time

they laugh again and again over the

path, Christian Scientist or patent
medicine. There In nothing more
deadly than disease; nothing more
honorable than to cure 1t.
Mr.. Balliett rafuted the idea sought
to be spread about that patent medi-
cines are unpopular by showing that
from 1900 to 1912 the amount OF pre-
pared medicines consumed In America
increased from 100000, 900 to $780,
100000 annually. He showed that, al
though the American Medical Associ-
alton is trying as an organization to
exterminate so-called patent medi-
eines, the family doctor, individually.
Is not fighting them but prescribing
them. He estimated that 40ea Of the
prescriptions written by doctors today
include proprietary medicines.

 AGAINST FEDERALS
National Commission Decides Teams Must Carry Only Fl
 Players.

New York, Dec. S.-At fate hour tonight the national commission of organized baseball is in secret ses- sion at the Waldorf, devising ways and means to successfully com bat the opposition of the Federal league.
 There is a possibility that on ad- journment the commission will an nounce some of it's plans, but there is greater probability that it will ad- here to policy of silence. All day today with the corridors, bars, cafes and sun parlors swarming with base ball magnates, submagnates, near- magnates and mere players, the bare mention of the Federals has been saf- fcient to cast a funereal hush over the councils and confabs, and it is as7 sumed that the commission will be just as mysterious officially tonight as it has been unofficially all day.
 One of the Important decisions reached is that hereafter no team shall carry more than twenty-one players, as against twenty-five here tofpre.

Morgan Almighty OF Finance.
The witness held Morgan in great
respect and regarded him as the AL
mighty of finance. He was sure he
had objected to Morgans plans many
times and that the reason the directors
usually voted unanimously was be-
cause they hal talked it over before

Il hold no brief for Mr.. Morgan"
he declared, but 1 believe that we
| should question the whole committee
! and not a single man"
Skinner admitted that he had held
/ $50 shares of stock in the Massachu-
/ sets trolleys and that when it was
found that the Massachusetts law pro-
| hibited an official of the New Haven
| holding this stock he transferred 1t to
/ his nephew and a bookkeeper This
was in 1909 and he declared that the
Attorney General Of Massachusetts
had said It was all right.
/ Mellen, he said, was fired from
the presidency Of the New Haven be-
cause the directors thought he had lost
the confidence Of the public. He as
serted. however, that Mellen had a
majority Of the New Haven directors
with him and that he could have re-
/ tanned his place if he laid his case be-
| fore them.
The New Haven investigation will

1t was anticipated that after the con-
fiictlng evidence during The -everal days
of the trial, there would be long DELHI

that there would be disagreement
THE jury may consider 1t possible that
Miss Sullivan learned how easy II was 20

tice Gavegan in his charge. "You may
consider what was in Miss Sullivans
mind. Consider the crew by which she
was beset, the financial difficulties and
pressure under which she was burdened."
In another part of his charge Justice Cav

OF marriage, said: I'VE all agree II was

WAY CLEAR FOR BIG LINER
Police Boat Helps Imperator TO
Avoid Vaterland's Delay.

When he Imperator, Of the HAM
burg-American Line, came up t'''
North River TO her dock at HopoKeh
Yesterday she was preceded by the 70
lice Department boat Patrol which
warned river craft from the pain Il
tho giant vessel. II. A. c. Smith, Com
missioner Of T 9cka and Ferries, was IN
charge.
Recently when the Vaterland, sister
shin {; the Imperator, arrived here on
her maiden voyage, a barge th't
crossed her bow as she was approach
ing her pier caused delay OF four
hours before landing was effected.
River traffic was demoralized during
that time.
The new measure tried yesterday 20
avoid a repetition of such delay worked
like a charm, and the Imperator locked
without a hitch of any kind. 1t is
probable that when the Aquitania, TIE
Cunard Lines new giant, enters port
tomorrow morning the Patrol will oe
waiting to insure her a clear path.
The Imperator made a record run,
crossing the ocean in five days, seven
teen hours and thirty-eight minutes,
the best time she had made on west
ward trip.
