SEES NO NEED FOR
NEW ORGANIZATION
Seligman Says Existing Funds,
if Aided. Can Look After
the Poor.

The best interest of evicted antilles
will not be served by creating new re-
lief committees, but By more prompt
and complete Use Of charitable organ
izations already in existence, according
20 aac n. Seligmsn, who decliIed yes
terday 10 become treasurer of the pro-
posed East Side Protective Commis-
sion.
This commission. which Municipal
Justice Gustave Hartman suggested the
Mayor should appoint TO work with the
charitable bodies, was TO raise funds 10
sta the dispossession of worthy fam
lies. II was also 90 have the benefit
of advice from juCges of the municipal
courts.
MIR. Seligman. in his reply to Judge
Hartman's offer, admitted the crying
necessity OF some action which will
prevent the large number OF dispossess
cases. In view of the present de-
pressed industrial situation it IS prob
able that more cases {. eviction among
the poor will occur this winter than
ever before
y best judgment and experience,
however. lead me TO believe that the
best interests OF the poor families and
the best interest # the city would be
subserved by the judges bringing
promptly such cases of eviction before
their trial 70 the attention of the or
ganized charities Of this city. such as
the United Hebrew Charities, the Char
ity Organization Society and the As
sociation for Improving the Condition
of the Poor, all OF which have the ad-
equate machinery to cope promptly and
intelligently with the present crisis"

TWILIGHT SLEEP

Commissioner Of Texas, and DR.. A. NJ.
Hlkowich, of the New York Jewish
Maternity Hospital. were the speakers
at yesterdays meeting of the lnterna-
tional Pure ,ilk and Food League at
the Hotel Astor, but they received moth
ing like the attention accorded to Miss
Jeanette Theobald, who was IN the
audience. Miss Theobald is only three
weeks old and hadn't much to say Tor
herself. but when it was explained that
she was a twilight sleep baby every
woman there wanted to look into her
blue eyes and feel her downy head and
her fat legs and arms.
Mrs. +. T. Theobald, her mother, dc
clarcd that when she walked up half
an hour after the baby was born 1t was
like waking from n refreshing sleep"
Dr. Hilkowich gave a short talk on
the twilight sleep, urging the women
present T. inform themselves upon II.
Many doctors were prejudced against
il, he said, and only demand upon the
part of the public could break down
this prejudice. He said that it had re-
suited favorably FOR mothers and
babies in the trials made at the Jewish
Maternity Hospital.
Dr. Carrick denounced the United
States as nation Of spendthrlfts,'
which wasted human life, though 1t
protected hogs. Crime, he said, was
increasing at the rate of 300 per cent
every twenty years, and institutions
were crowded dangerously with de-
fectives. Seventy-tive per cent OF the
human children born were born de-
fective, while only per cent OF the
lower animals were defective at birth.
