Health officers are not satisfied with
this showing aud today issued a special
bulletin in which they pointed out the
danger To the health OF the State from the
spread Of typhoid through early cases.
This bulletin reads in part as follows.
The presence of ri cages OF typhoid
fever in the State at this season OF the
year is seriously primarily for What may
follow possible neglect OF these cases and
failure to take sanitary precautions on
farms and ia smtM towns Every case of
typhoid that is no, properly handled be-
comes a focus Of infection, every unsani
tsry home offers the means Of carrying
the disease FROM the sick to the well
III cannot be too often emphasized
that even where there is adequate bed
side care in known cases Of typhoid there
are always in every community some
carriers persons who have had ty-
phoid fever and have apparently recover
Cd from it but still harbor tile germs
Where sanitary arrangements are uns,,t-
isiactofy these carriers polIute The soil
aud constitute q very grave and immcdi-
ate danger to all who live in the neigh
hood
within another month the hy season
will have fully begun, and the other
agencies FOR carrying the germs of di-
sease this deadly pest will be added.
This means that if Virginia is to be
saved from heavy outbreaks of typhoid
fever, all sewage must be disposed OF SO
that it will be kept from flies and from
contact with nyihing ii may polmte.
NO Virginia home is safe from ty.
phcid fever unless it is provided with a
safe method of sewage disposal"

An effort TO disercdit conditions

made at the conference on the price OF
bread called by Mayor Mitchell at the
City Hall yesterday. There was moth

large baking firms who announced that
they would sell bread at the old price
OF five cents. Their announcement
came. however. in the face of evidence.

POISON IN FOOD
AT BETHEL HONE
Wife and Daughter of New York
Telephone President Made
Ill-Butler Arrested.

Montclair, \. j., Feb. l0.-lsaac 5.
Green, a negro, was committed to jail
without bail to-day by Recorder Henry
J.. Yost on a charge of attempting TO
poison members of the family of Union
Noble Bethel, president Of the New
York Telephone Company, who lives at
27O Upper Mountain Avenue.
Green, who is forty-three years old,
was formerly employed as butler in
the Bethel home. He had been in the
family's employ for four months, and
during that time four other servants
quit because they said they could not
get along with him. Last week cook,
who had been long with the family,
gave notice that she would leave be-
cause of Green. Mrs. Bethel told
Green that when his month was up ne
could seek another place.
Three days after that Mrs. betnell
and her eight-year-old son, John, were
taken i'll. DR.. VI. J. Synnott said they
we're suffering from poison, ana
ascribed the symptoms TO croton OIL
which was found in the breakfast 1000;
The cook told the physician she had
heard Green ask the Bethel chauffeur
to purchase a quantity OF croton oil
for the butler, and this testimony was
corroborated by the chauffeur.
A search revealed bottle OF croton
oil in a pantry. Green had been under
police surveillance pending the lnvesti-
cation and the return OF Mr.. Bethel,
who was out OF town. Formal COM
plant against him was made this morn,
ing by Mr.. Bethel. Mrs. Bethel and
her son have recovered from the ef-

SLEEP is OYSTERS ALIBI
Slumbering Bivalves Exoner-
ated in Sloane Typhoid Gases.

Tired OF having the oyster made
scapegost whenever there was an out
break Of typhoid fever, the Oyster
Growers and Dealers Association OF
North America made inquiries at
Sloane Hospital, where typhoid cases
were discovered week ago. The
oyster was exonersted. II was not
responsible for the outbreak there.
and William II. Killian, president Of
the association, declared yesterday
that typhoid epidemics had never been
traced yet to oysters.
Government inspection and super
vision precluded the possibility Of
typhoid bearing oysters, Killian said.
as beds were quarantined upon the
slightest suspicion. Moreover, he
pointed out, the oyster hibernstes dur
ing the winter months. He eats moth
ing. so how he can absorb germs is
beyond the president OF the Oyster

]. Sergeant Cram, who, back in the
days OF their daily companionshlp, is
said to have taught Boss" Murphy OF
Tammany Hall how to eat peas with
fork, was placed on the grill Of the
Public Service legislative committee
yesterday. William Hayward, counsel.
sought TO have the witness Justify his
existence as a member of the commits
sion since June. 1911. As matter OF
fact. the Commissioner. who is per-
haps better known in society and at the
clubs than at the offices of the commits
sion, took the attitude that his acts
needed no Justification.
According to his own testimony, he
did no more work than necessary. He
was not embarrassed in the slightest
degree when it was brought out that
he was unfamiliar with certain sec
tions of the law and was unable even to
give accurate information as to the
routes of the elevated lines in Brook
lyn.
Cram Yavns at Questions.
II was with a rather bored. tolerant
sort Of attitude that the Commissioner
spent his three hours on the stand.
At one time nc actually yawned.
Neither the searching questions OF
Mr.. Hayward nor the sarcastic COM
ments of Senator Thompson, chairman
of the committee, seemed to ruffle the
witness. Only twice did he give any
appearance of being angry. Once was
when it was shown that the chauffeur
Of the Public Service car which he
used freely had charged his supper 70
the city and again when counsel drew
a conclusion from a report Of Joseph
Johnson, head of the transit bureau.
THAT is untrue" snapped Cram.
Then he resumed his imperturbable
air and Hayward let it go at that.
The Commissioner showed plainly in
his statements that he expected the
five Commissioners would be wiped out
Of office and that, so far ss he was con-
cerred. a deal Of unnecessary trouble
was being taken to accomplish il.
As was the case of Mccall, it was
shown that Cram had used one of the
owned and maintained by
the Public Service Commission for
other than public business. His ex-
nlanation was that after he broke his
leg last spring he had used the ma
chine to bring him TO the office from
his summer home in Old Westbury.
But the telltale blue record card made
out by the chauffeur indicated that
