When the plans for an opera academy

by arrangement with capitalists in
France was to act as part of an en-
dowment fund for the institution.
TIP to the present time efforts 10 in
terest enough people in the plan have
been somewhat disheartening. Then too
AS long as oversee difficulties and dan

GREATEST PERIL
Disease Kills Fewer, Hygiene
Experts Declare at Con-
vcntiOn.
DRUGS TOO SHORTEN LIFE

Although much has been done to de-
crease the mortality from infectious dis
eases the effect of modern city life upon
public health has been to increase the
danger OF constitutional diseases" said
DR.. Charles Il. North at tho fourth annual
convention of the American Association
for Promoting Hygiene and Public
Baths yesterday in the City Hall.
This Is due to the strain that New
Workers. live under" he added. The
business man OF to-day does more than
three times as much as he did ten years
ago, shown by the statistics OF the rail-
ways. telephone companies and malls.
Besides, his food supply Is not fresh
and lacks nutrition and he does not get
enough exercise. II these things could
be regulated in early life 1t would bring
about race. not OF Spartans perhaps,
but able to combat constitutional dis
ease successfully"
At the afternoon meeting Or. Joseph
4. Gichner of Baltimore told OF the
efforts In European armies to keep the
soldiers clean. lie said that infectious
diseases killed more men than bullets
killed and that II was mot the Austrian
troops that drove the Serbs from Bel

flying water for drinking. hospital use

Y. NJ. c. A. and the New York Athletic
Club. which use this system.
Or. North said that New York heads
all other cities In It's fight against infant
mortality. due to It's pure milk stations.
The president OF the association. Or.
Simon Bsruch. declared that drugs,
alcohol and patent medicines play a large
part In shortening adult life

RITCHIE AND WELSH
FIGHT FILMS BARRED
Ruling Likely to Stop At
tcmpts to Bring in Johnson
Willard Pictures.
ABSURDITIES IN THE LAW

In an opinion fied In the United
states District Court yesterday in tho
Ritchie-Welsh flm case Judge Charles
NJ. Hough held that the contest he.
tween the two lishtweights IN London on
July I, 1914. was in the technical mean
ing OF the terms both a prixcf,ght and
a pugilistic encounter. although Il was
fought under conditions which classi-
fed II as boxing match In London
and many States OF this country, includ-
ing New York.
In consequence Judge Hough bars
from the country the films Of the fight
imported by George +. Considine shortly
after the match. Unless this decision
is reversed by the Appellate Court II
will put an effective quietus on any
renewed attempt to bring in the Johnson
Willard films.
The Judge admits the apparent alb
surdity Of the Sims act under which
the Aims were barred. but adds that
the court has no alternative other than
to enforce the law. II Ia undoubtedly a
somewhat ridiculous result" he says,
that the Aims OF a match which would
he regarded as perfectly legal in many
States cannot be legally shown in those
states because they had to be imported
into the country or shipped In inter-
state commerce"
In another part OF his opinion the
Judge remarks that the widely divergent
decisions handed down by the courts In
the few cases of the kind that have
been tried should have convinced Con-
gress Of the wisdom OF closely defining
the terms prizeficht and pugilistic en- q.
counter. rather than relying upon the
court decisions. which merely showed
the need of careful legislation"
In his treatise on what constitutes A
prizehght and pugilistic encounter
the Judge reverses his informal opinion
Of last week. in which he said the Richie
Welsh contest was moxing match.
but might also have been a pugilistic
encounter He brings TO bear on the
subject formidable array OF definitions

encyclopedias, some of which had been
