Colonel George GOetalS advises humbleneSS ind desire
learn about South America as cue to
benevolent North America.

"If they want their hosiery, suppos-
ing a hosiery exporter is sending
stockings to Brazil, in bright green
boxes with red tissue paper, it's all
very well for US to feel that the matter
is of no Importance and not rational,
but the thing to do is to get the green
est boxes around and send down red
tissue paper. And the matter is one
that may concern women as well as the
manufacturer, since women have made
it their business to promote interna-
tional peaceful relations. They can do
their little bit in offering the Latin
Americans, those at least that inhabit
the strip of territory for whose stand
ards and opportunities the United
States is responsible, an insight into
Northern education. and can them
selves make a tactful and gracious
study of wherein we have failed to
make ourselves compatible in ideals
and in social mechanics to the rest OF
Pan-America."

SAD L0DGERS QUIT
OLD BOAT HOTEL
Girl Crew of the Jacob A. SIAM
Ter May Find Another An
ChOred Home.

The Jacob A. Stamler, the old boat
at the foot of East Twenty-third Street,
which has been Home, Sweet Home for
seventy-odd working girls for many
years, was silent and sad yesterday.
Realizing that the John Arbuckle heirs
were determined to close the place Au-
gust %, the young boarders have been
moving out.
Mystery surrounds the closing of the
Jacob A. Stamler. The Arbuckle heirs
have said that it is not money that
Stands in the way of keeping up the
boat hotel. Moreover, Miss Lillian l..
Deaver, chairman of the committee Of
women formed to raise money to main
tain the boat, said yesterday that so
many pledges and gifts had come to
the committee that the future of the
boat as a boarding house was assured
if the Arbuckle heirs would consent to
the use of the funds. They refused,
and Miss Deaver began sending back
the pledges and gifts.
Captain Frank d. Shelley, who, with
his wife, has kept the boat and its girl
crew steady, says he knows another old
boat which could be made into a home
for the girls, and he is wondering
whether the committee would consider
fitting up that boat.

PIRATE CAPTAIN
STEALS INSPECTOR
Makes City Smoke Fighter Pay

Him on Glen Island.

A stirring yarn of dreadful deeds on
the high seas was spun to Magistrate
Corrigan. in the Tombs Court. yester-
day, by Health Inspector John McGill.
who says he was abducted by Captain
Moses Osborn, of the Glen Island
steamer Clalremont, Sunday, and ma
rooned on Glen Island, with the choice
of walking or swimming home.
Inspector McGilPs duty is to keep
the harbor's atmosphere pellucid and
smokeless. According TO him. the
Clairemont's smokestack had been
dirtying the air scandalously. He
boarded the vessel Sunday to remon-
strate with the captain and suggest he
get a chimney sweep.
While McGill tried to get into the
pilot house, where the skipper had
intrenched himself. the Clairemont
moved out ilto the stream and started
TO smoke up the harbor again, with a
fresh air advocate right on her deck.
care you a Federal officer" the
stern commander asked, as his rakish
craft stood up the Sound.
mo" McGill admitted
"Then get out of here" Osborn com
manded.
"How can u" the inspector asked,
looking at the receding shores.
SWIM" suggested Osborn. "or else
pay your fare"
The water looked unusually damp
and McGn paid. When the boat
reached Glen Island, the inspector saws
the captain of the Clairemont refused
to allow him to go back to the city
on her. McGill trudged all the way to
New Rochelle, after serving sum-
mons on Osborn.
He grinned fendishly when Magis-
trate Corrigan issued a warrant for
the arrest of the piratical captain and
gave it to the police to serve.

-
w women of the United it,
States do for Panama -
the question was put to Colonel George
Goethals in a fine spirit of helpful
ness.
The brown, almost leathery face Of
tn man who built the Panama Canal
was perfectly immobile for just about
second, and then a look of sheer
amusement came into the blue eyes
that are half the blue of snowy north
err ice and half the blue of flame.
Not a thing. not thing!" he said
abruptly. He was washing his hands
of Panama and, it seemed, he was
washing his hands of benevolent
Northern interference.
"The country's what it wants to be.
and it doesn't want to change. What
we have is the narrow Panama strip,
which is very different from the coun-
try at large. The country at large is
engaged in living on what we paid for
the strip, and the school they put in
with some of the money doesn t amount
to much"
Here was the man who had put
through a dazzling piece of American
enterprise talking about the part of
Pan-America that he knew best, and
admitting that the Central American
countries and the South American re-
publics might perhaps be a little in
terested in the canal as a great re-
maker of trade routes, but that as a
garden spot Of American culture and
OF American methods they would just
as soon cut it dead.
A dream of Panama as place CEN
trail enough to be connecting link be-
tween Northern ways and Latin ways
simply faded to nothing under the mat
ter of fact consideration of man
among men who, in his most magma
tive moments, has never deluded MINI
self. Then the engineer, the army man,
the man who knows Central America
as the rest of US know our dooryards,
reconsidercd
"You know, of course" he said, that
we did have a woman down there who
tried to put through some women's
clubs like those in the North for the
white women Of. Panama. But you
must appreciate the kind of population
we have. People forever transient, the

TWILIGHT DEATH
RUMOR PERSISTS
Hospital Officials Quoted as
Admitting Treatment Killed
Mrs. CarmOdy.

Rumors still persisted yesterday that
Mrs Francis Y. Carmody, one Of the
foremost twilight sleep propagandists,
hsd died while taking the treatment at
the Long Island College Hospital,
Brooklyn, in spite Of her husbands
statement that the Dammeschlaff was
in no way responsible for her death.
A Brooklyn afternoon newspaper car
ried a story which stated that the hos
pital authorities had declared Mrs. Car
mody had died in the maternity ward
while undergoing the treatment. 1t
also suoted the secretary" Of Dr..
Richard Z. Shaw, superintendent of the
institution, as saying that while twi-
light sleep was in no way responsible
for Mrs Carmody's death, she was
undergoing twilight sleep 'when the
hemorrhage occurred which caused her
death"
Inquiry at the hospital showed that
Dr.. Shaw had no secretary, but when
he was shown the account he was re-
luctant to discuss it.
"Mr. Carmody's statement is cor
rect" he at length commented.
Marie Virginia Smith, secretary Of
tn Twilight Sleep Association, which
has Offices at sos Fifth Avenue, denied
yesterday that enthusiasm for twilight
sleep had waned, and at the Long
Island Hospital il was also said that
just as many mothers continued 10 re-
quest the treatment. DR.. A. J. ROngy,
obStetrician at the Jewish Maternity
Hospital and DR.. Minas S. Gregory, of
Bellevue, however, said that twilight
sleep IN this country was doomed.
Miss Smith said the association was
entirely satisfied with its work, and
that it still aimed to erect an open hos
pltal where women might take the
treatment administered by skilled sur
geons, and where general practitioners
were IN no danger Of losing their pa
tcnts.
What has caused an apparent dimi-
mutton IN interest" she continued, us
that so many institutions lack the
equipment for giving the treatment.
They have such small stats that after
two nights they must sleep the third.
Consequently, when a mother comes 10
the hospital that night she finds she
must have the old, painful method.
This had led TO statements that various
institutions were no longer giving the
Freiburg method.
Twilight sleep is not dying out; on
the contrary, the result of the first
part of our campaign is just beginning
TO show All over the country women
are as enthusiastic as they were six
months ago And do not believe that
any mothers have gone temporarily in
zane after childbirth in the painless
way This in reply to DR.. Gregory's
statement that three women at Belle
3e had been demented after taking
me tratment. Miss Smith said if such
""' the case the scopolamin must have

whom you have selected a few not
found guilty of the charges you make.
