Red Cross History 7
Just Published

The worldwide healing and work
ing of the Red Criss societies of all
nations, in disasters of war and ma
ture, are the subject of Mabel T.
Boardman's remarkable book, "Under
the Red Cross Flag" just issued
from the press of the Lippincotts.
n Miss Boardman writes with au-
thority, being the chairman of the
National Relief Board of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. The book has fore
word by President Wilson, as presi-
dent of the society.
Most beautiful in spirit is the
writer's exposition of the more than
half century of self-sacrific and serv-
ice of the various national branches
of the Red Cross; from the morn
ing when Florence Nightingale re-
sponded to the cry of the London
Times, care there no devoted wo-
men among US able and willing to go
forth to minister to the sick and
suffering soldiers of the Crimea 2"
to the sailing forth from New York,
in September, 1914, of the "Red
Cross" on it's errand of mercy to
Europe.
Miss Boardman points out that
whereas the Japanese society num-
bers 100000 members with an en-
downment of $13,000,OO0, the Ameri-
can Red Cross numbers only $4,000,
with an endowment of less than
$1,000,000.

that the boy, Arthur, was undoubt-
eddy suffering from smallpox and
that the condition of the others was
suspicious in the extreme.
Realizing that the matter was one
of extreme urgency, the Commits
sioner gave orders that the premises
be isolated and that the Sadorf
family and everyone else in the house
be vaccinated. He vaccinated him
self and his two inspectors and at
the same time communicated with
the County Board of Health.
When the matter was taken up
again at an early hour Wednesday
morning DR.. King, County Physician,
accompanied Commissioner Stack and
confirmed his report that Edward
Sadorf was suffering from smallpox.
1t was also discovered that the other
boy, George, was in the first stage
of the disease and that the other
members of the family were in a
suspicious condition.
1t was therefore decided to have
the entire family removed to the
County Hospital for Infectious Di-
seases. Mrs. Sadorf protested
against this action and it required
the efforts of Patrolmen Cassid and
Wendeken to get her and the chill
dren out of the house.
Mayor Patrick Griffin ordered that
all the furniture in the apartment be
destroyed. He gave orders that this
be replaced when the family is able
to again take up residence in the
city.
A startling feature of the case was
then discovered. Under the house is
small fruit and milk store, and it
was stated by the people living there
that the colored man, Ernest Graf
schen, who is at present in the
County Hospital, suffering from
smallpox, had purchased both milk
and fruit at this store the day be-
fore he had been taken in hand by
the health officials. It was promptly
decided by the health officials to
destroy and to fumigate the entire
building.
Mayor Griffin stated that every
possible precaution would be taken
to prevent the spread of the disease.
He gave orders that the two patrol
men who had assisted in taking out
the family be vaccinated and that
the entire building be fumigated. He
said that it was owing to the fact
that no chances will be taken that
he ordered the furniture owned by
Mrs. Sadorf to be destroyed. When
the family returns, he added, this
will be replaced by the city.
The entire district has been placed
under observation-disclosures.

Holds Civil
Service Lau
Inquiry Void

Last springs session of the New
Jersey Legislature at Trenton ap-
pointed an investigating committee
to inquire fully into the workings of
the States civil service system.
Last month the committee started its
probe with an investigation of the
State Comptroller's office, and had
barely begun when it received
notice from the Attorney-G Generals
office that it was not legal body,
had no power, and that consequently
no money would be forth coming for
its support. The committee, how
ever, had already caused the dis
missal of clerk in the Comptrol-
ler's office, who had testified to them
that the department would be much
improved by the application of civil
service rules in the hiring of it's
clerical assistants.
On Wednesday last came what is
apparently the final quietus to the
investigation, when State Comptrol-
Ter Edward l. Edwards received the
opinion of Assistant Attorney-Ge
eral Herbert Boggs that the Civil
Service Investigating Committee of
the House of Assembly was abso-
lutely without legal authority.
Assemblyman O. H. Hammond, of
Somerset county is chairman of the
committee, and former Assembly
man Emerson L. Richards, of At
lantic county, counsel for the COM
mittee. The latter has said that if
the Stae refused to pay the expenses
of the investigation, he would pay
them himself,
The movement to iaaYalidate the
work of the Investigation committee
had it's inception in the request of
the Comptroller for an opinion of
the Attorney-G Generals office as to
the committees status. AS a re-
suit of the inquiry of Assistant At
General Boog's he made the
following report to the Comptroller:
II am forced to the conclusion
that the powers of this committee
ceased upon the final adjournment of
the House of Assembly, and that the
financial officers of the State have
no power to pay any bills or expen-
ditures incurred by such committee,
after the final adjournment of the
body creating it."
Mr.. Boggs, in his opinion, recites
the fact that the issue in this case
is entirely without precedent in the
State, reviews the passage of the
resolution and the appointment of
the committee. He then proceeds to
point out the fact that the commit
tee were required to report from
time to time to the last session of
the Legislature, or at : any special
session. Mr.. Boggs doubted the
power of the House to provide for
the continuance of it's committee
after adjournment. He gave it as
his opinion that all legislative or
parliamentary powers of the House
ceased upon final adjournment of it's
regular session, and that it could not
give its own creature, its committee,
which it did not itself have, and con-
sequently could not itself exercise.
"Wys impression, therefore," the
off eial continues, "is that. after the
!, manent adjournment of the regu-
lar session, this committee had no
power to sit or act in any way.
Whether its powers wouM revive,
should a special session of athe Leg
islature be convened, it is ,not nee
essary here to discuss" 1
