OF CREEK VESSEL

New York, Dec 30.-Wireless calls
sent out from the coast stations ear
ly today brought no reply from the
disabled Greek steamer Thessalonih
reported last night 100 miles east of
Sandy Hook making her way slowly
toward this port with her boiler room
flooded. The last wireless message
from the Thessalonih said all were
well on board.
The coast guard cutter Seneca was
making her way toward the crippled
Greek craft and early today sent out
repeated wireless calls to the Thes-
saloniki which were unanswered. The
wireless apparatus of the Thessalon-
Xxi is believed to have been disabled
by the storm, for the last messages
from the Greek steamer were very
weak and hardly decipherable.
The Seneca made only slow prog
ress toward the Thessaloniki because
of the heavy weather. She was ex-
pected to reach the Greek steamer
some time today.

WILL PROSECUTE
OYSTER DEALERS
Those Who Sell Watered Stock Do
so In Violation of Food and
Drugs Act.

Washington. D. c., Dec. 30.-PrOse-
cution of oyster dealers found guilty
Of the practice Of adding fresh water
to shucked oysters so as to greatly
increase their size, in violation of the
Food and Drugs Act, will be recon-
mended by the department OF agri-
culture.
This was announced today by the
department, which said that consid-
cradle evidence is being collected by
list inspectors regarding the traffic
in water soaked oysters. As soon as
completed the evidence will be turn
ed over to the department of justice
with a view to prosecution, it was
added.
The addition OF water to oysters
lowers their food value, in the de-
partment's opinion. which holds that
such oysters are adulterated within
the meaning of the food and drugs
act.

health department today to delay OPP
erations on the nose and throat until
the epidemic Of the grippe now prevail

whose suggestion the warning was is
sued. said that physicians learned that
during the great grippe epidemic of
1895 that nasal operations could not be
successfully performed when such an
epidemic was prevalent.
when the grippe prevails, any orer-
alton on the nose is likely to be fol-
lowed by an acute attack of influenza,
although up to the time of the opera
ton the patient may have shown no
signs of any such trouble" said DR.,
