CASE
lContfnued from page 1l

kCOULluuGN 4EAuA PeoS ~ station On some of the lonely isolat- ed islands in Southeastern Alaska? asks the Juneau Dispatch of yes terday.
 Was William Christie kidnapped by recruiting officers? And is the strange disappearance of other residents of southeastern Alaska due to the same source? Or isl there an English battleship oruis- ing near Alaska waters to pick up British reservists.
 "These startling questions are suggested by the latest develop meutg of the TreadwelI case. Mrs Christie says her husband was subject to the rules of the Brit 'sh army. She believes that he is still alive.
 "One telegram from Ketchikan says Rrause, who is wanted on suspicI5n in connection with the disappearance of Christie regis tered there under the name of O. K Moore. A wireless from the same place says that Krause's boat had been seen at Wards Cove in which was found a letter ad- dressed to Miller. According to the Ketchikan cablegram Krause IS supposed to have taken passage on the Jefferson for Seattle, and his boat was reported as having passed Fletchikan four days ago for the south.
 'Krause. told Brick Carlson that he took Christie and turned him oyer to another.
 "The isolated nature of the mum erous islands and their many pro tected channels in Southeastern Alaska, with the open Pacific ocean just beyond, afford ideal conditions for "recruiting stations" such as suggested. Several battIeships could find protected harbors and remain hidden indefinitely. Power boats could traverse the numerous bays and inlets to every town in South eastern Alaska and pick out men,
 "Is that the answer to the dis appearance of Christie, and was Krause in the employ to assist re- cruitinG? s.
 Time alone will tell.
 Another person also has mys- teriousIy disappeared recently from Treadweu
 Tt may be remarked that Irause, according to Mrs. Christie, served in the United states army in the Philippines"

CEREBRO- SPINAL MENINGITIS CURE
Thi. Correspondent Sure It's Neither Cure
Nor Rockefeller Institute Discovery.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: My attention has just been called
TO the recent testimony of John d. Rocke-
Teller. ir.. before the United States Commits
sion on Industrial Relations, published in
YOUR issue of January 27, in which Mr..
Rockefeller is reported to have stated, IN
reference to the so-called cure for cerebro-
spinal meningitis, that in the FIRST six hun
dred cases observed subsequent to the dis
covery of the remedy" the average death
rate was reduced from rs to 25 per cent.
That Mr.. Rockefeller believed this state
ment to be true there is no doubt but no"
is il possible to reconcile his figures with
official government, state and city status
tics. which show that subsequent to the
discovery of the remedy" the case fatalities
instead of falling rose from 10 to - per
cent?
In many of our cities during the weeks Of
January, 1915, the case fatalities from
cerebro- spinal meningitis were 100 per cent
| may mention New York, Boston, Chicago
Cleveland. Milwaukee, etc.
Neither is il supposed that Mr.. Rocketel-
Ter knows of the deaths reported from time
10 time in the medical journals as having
resulted from this so-called cure; Tor IN
stance. mention may be made of the deaths
of Drs Brown and Ashley, occurring few
years ago. after treatment by DR.. tleXner
himself In regard to the harmlessness OF
the serum W. II. Frost, past assistant sur
geon Of the Public Health Marine Hospital
Service, says in the United states Public
Health reports for January 20, 1912, that
while administering the serum the patient
should be carefully watched by an assistant
for untoward symptoms an the more
serious cases the respiration becomes
irregular then ceases: the heart stops, the
patient becomes cyanotic and comatose. with
convulsive movements of the face or limbs
and occasionally dies suddenly
Neither is it supposed that Mr.. Rookie
Teller knows that, according to DR.. W. II.
Park. director of the City Research Labor
atory. where this cure is now manufactured,
the cerebro-s spinal meningitis serum was not
discovered al the Rockefeller Institute. DR.
Park says. in "The New York Evening Post
of January 16, 1912. that "it is simply
laughabe to call the serum the FleXner
serum or to speak Of the lumbar puncture
as discovery by the Rockefeller baeterlolo-
gists." S. NJ. FARRELL.

Bundles for Children.

The Bundle Day Committee, passing
out of existence, plans to bring into
being the Children's Shop-a bundle In
stitution to provide for the children Of
the unemployed and the very poor. 1t Is
a worthy purpose. Bundle Day did much
TO help the adult unfortunates of both
sexes. but it provided scant comfort for
the little ones. The Children's Shop
hopes to remedy this.
There are thousands OF children IN
this city who are unable to attend school
because they lack decent, adequate
clothes This is state of affairs as
pitiful as that of the thousands of men
who lack work, and vastly easier to rem
edy. It should be simple to supply
these children from the outgrown ward
robes of the more fortunate children OF
the city and from materials which could
be worked over to fit them.
The Children's Shop in endeavoring to
handle this section of the winters relief
problem is undertaking splendid and i'm
portant work. 1t deserves as fine coop
GRAFTON from the public as was given to
the Bundle Day Committee. On any
community the children's claim is first
impossible to deny.

Good All the Way Round.

II will he a good thing for the pun
lie and for the railroads if the Legs
lature at Albany follows the decision OF
the caucus of the Republicans OF the
Assembly and repeats the full crew law
The present statute has been OF no
value to passengers. 1t has bestowed
no real benefits upon employees. 1t has
merely created a number of useless jobs
and thereby diverted money which would
otherwise have gone TO give better pro-
lection TO the travelling public and pro-
vide better service.
The existing public service law pro-
vides ample machinery for regulating
both the number Of trainmen and their
hours of labor. The whole theory OF
the law was to remove such questions
from the field Of legislative and political
interference.
The present law Is one Of the te"
surviving monuments Of the Sulzer ad-
ministration. There is no reason why IT
should not follow the course of the other
products Of that unfortunate time. The
Republican caucus has made good be-
ginning-the task should he completed

For those who love the sun in winter.
who love the Riviera in the less garish
colors that Mentone provides, there must
be a real feeling of grief to learn that
the little border town is empty of its old
colony-that the great hotels that look

empty of guests. their genial Teutonic
prOprietors are in prison, and in place

Gone is. the hungarian news yender,
with his wonderful sheaf of Magyar
papers. Gone are Russian, Polish. Prus-

colonists. The little dOnkeys that bore
happy children along the beach are per-
haps hauling ammunition in the far off
Argonne. The Chasseurs Alpins, once
met on all the mountains, stepping off
proudly TO the bugles, are now on the
battlefront, the vanguard of the army of
redemption in far Alsace.
Vanished are the races which lived in
polyglot peace and took their losses
philosophically in the nearby casino at
Monte Carlo. There is now the grief of
war. Gouty Prussian generals no longer
stalk majestically through heliotrope
hedged walls; they are now in Cham

call of Siracocca, but the garrisons are

For Public Debate
CALLS FEMINISM A CRAZE
Large Part of Working Women Don't Have
10 Work.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | appreciate the liberal attitude of
this paper in the matter of allowing parties
on both sides of the suffrage question to
air their views was somewhat amused at
a recent statement in the Peoples Column
that in order to make a success OF lie
the unmarried women Of middle age or
thereabout must hire out for wages. G., as
stenographers, store clerks, etc. AT my age
of past sixty years | can distinctly remem-
Der when a woman who worked out brought
censure upon her family, for the general
belief was that her own people were not
willing to keep her" And in those days, as
we'll as in the present day, the unmarried
and mature women were and are oil l. anu
able assistance in all families where there
are children. The we'll beloved "aunties'
have done a noble work in the world as
teachers, guides, companions and friends OF
their own young people. No more beautiful
tribute was ever paid to an unmarried
woman than that of Robert Louis Steven
son in his dedication Of his "Chld's Garden
of Verses" TO his greatly beloved maiden
aunt.
The tendency Of American women to
carry everything TO the limit to run it into
the ground" is exemplifed in this way: |
have been told by a physician that when
(so-called) practical nurse is called for at a
nurses registry, and one about forty years
specified, they will send woman about
sixty years, then send another about fifty
years and when Cor III she is refused they
will then END one Of the desired age. !
tell him the old women are worse than the
younger ones in the craze, for that is just
what it is to 20 out to work. In Chicago,
according to figures acquired by census
takers who SIX how many in each family
are out of work, male or female there
are 276,000 so-called "self-supporting"
women and girls. / do not doubt that at
least 100000 of the number have no real
need of work-just foolish fad. They are
crowding out men and boys who are much
better fitted for the work they are trying to
do. and in that are cheapening themselves
and also lowering wages.
The writer once advertised for woman
about thirty for light attendance a few
hours daily without meals, at s. a week.
And in two days there were siXty-fve appli-
cations by mail. The one she selected
proved to be married woman with hus-
band in good health and three children.
But, as she expressed il, it would just kill
her 70 stay in the house with those children,
and as she said she wanted her own
goings and doings." She was fair example
of the hundreds o. thousands of married
women who have no use for the home as
woman's sphere" Votes for Women,

Mitigate the Sunday Chill.

The Association of Theatre Managers
doubtless agreed with Mr.. Bruere when
he told them this was a cold city for
strangers and seekers after harmless
amusement on Sundays. 1t has been a
cold city for them, too, when they sought
to provide something in the way Of
theatrical entertainment other than
Sunday concerts Yet Sunday is the
great free day of the working folk-the
day of days on which they want and need
harmless recreation and amusement.
1t would be a mighty good thing if, as
the City Chamberlain suggested, there
could be cooperation to alter this state
of affairs. Several large cities Of the
country permit Sunday theatrical per-
formances. 1t has not been noted that
this contributes especially to moral degra-
dation of the populace or of strangers
within the gates. The same thing is true
Of Sunday baseball, which exists here
only when played by amateur teams.
Obviously the day set apart for relg-
ious observance by a large proportion
of the public should not become, by rea-
son of amusements permitted, an offence
to those engaged in religious services
To prevent that it is not necessary to
maintain the existing rigidity regarding
varieties of harmless pleasure the absence
of which now sends many young people
to worse places than theatres or baseball
games in search Of amusement.

Mr.. Whiiman's First Chance.

Two things the legislative investiga-
,ion Of the Public Service Commission
has disclosed: First, the present law Is
thoroughly adequate; second, the present
commission is utterly inadequate. I'm
der the Moreand law Governor Whit
man might have discovered the same
things. and this would have made I'M
necessary the more elaborate and eX-
per,,.r 'oc,slatiyc process, too frequent
~ c,.....l u recent years.
W. &c Information accumulated by
the committee the Governors action
now will be prompt and final. The testi-
mony taken by the legislative committee
should be made the basis Of charges.
Opportunity to answer Is the right OF
the present incumbents. under the law
but the Governor can then act without
the consent of the Senate.
As to his action there can be no doubt
The four commissioners whose terms do
not expire this year should 90. The
matter is beyond debate-the public
mind is made up on the subject. As to
Milo r. Maltbie there could he no ques-
ton Of removing him. But his term has
already expired and he should not be
reappointed. The part Mr.. Maltbie took
in delaying and attempting to block
the dual contracts is a sufficient reason
for not reappointinC him.
No more important appointments than
those of five Public Service Commission
ers for this district will be made by the
present Governor. The present board
lacks public confidence; the whole COM
mission has fallen under popular dis
approval Justly. The Governor will be
generally criticised if he follows in the
course of his immediate predecessors
and makes political service the basis Of
his selection.
Fortunately there is no indication
that he has any such thing in mind.
