SPRINGFIELD, Ill. Nov. ga
thorough inquiry into the case Of the
Bollinger baby, who was allowed to
die by DR.. Harry j. Haiselden, in a
Chicago hospital. was planned to-
day by the state board of health.
DR.. c. St. Clair Drake. secretary Of

man in Chicago. requesting that a
transcript Of the evidence taken at

TO Springfield at once.
DR.. Drake said he had been ask
ed by a large number of persons,
professional men among them. to
make a careful study of the case
with a view To learning whether the
state board could take any action
in the unprecedented case. He
stated that the state board would
make as careful an investigation as
possible with a view TO learning
whether DR. Haiselden's license as
a physician should be revoked be-
sseIse he refused 10 save the life of
the deformed infant.

NAY GET PASSPORTS.

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a. - Upon
the outcome Of the conspiracy trial
now in progress in New York will de-
pend whether Capt. Boy-ed, naval
attache of the German embassy, will
be permitted to remain in the United
States. If the charge Of Asst.
Dist Atty Wood that the German
naval officer directed the operations
of the clique now on trial for viola
ton Of American neutrality, are
proved. Capt. Boy-ed will be given
his passports and Berlin will be no.
titled that his presence Is no longer
welcome in the United States.
The bringing of Capt Boy-ed's
name into the court proceedings was
no surprise TO state department of
ficials. Sec'y Lansing today declined
to comment on the case. It is
known, however, that the depart
ment OF justice has from time to
time communicated to the state de-
partment the results OF the investi-
cations involving the alleged activ-
tiles Of the German naval officer as
well as the military attache, Capt.
Won Papen. Officials have taken the
position that no action could be
taken until the charges were sub
stantiated, as it is now declared they
will be in the case of Capt. Boy-ed.

CAIRO. Egypt, (By mail to New

rect orders from Lord Kitchener, the
English secretary of state for war,
l 1000 British troops. mostly colonials,
are erecting fortifications along the
Suez canal all the way from Port
Said to the northern end Of the Gulf
of Suez
The elaborate nature OF the works
indicated a strong belief on the part
Of the English war secretary that
Turco-German forces are going to
make a tremendous effort to drive
into Egypt and gain control of the
canal.
These works are not being built
at the very edge Of the waterway.
but miles 10 the east. The most ex-
tensive are those across the caravan
routes which strike the canal at
Toussum and at Kantara The lat
ter is the highway leading from
Syria by way Of Katich and is the
more important Of the two. From
Kantara 10 Serapeum the eastern
side OF the canal is hanked by
range OF barren hills and these have
been fortified and supplied with ar

TURKEYS ARE SCARCE
Geese, Ducks and Chickens Are i'm
Demand.

Turkeys were in demand on mar
ket Wednesday morning. but the

Geese. ducks and chickens took
the place Of turkey on the market

these fowls. Apparently many
housewives made their Thanksgiving
purchases on Tuesday thinking it
was the last market day before the
annual event. for there We're more
geese, ducks and chickens than were
needed.
All prices remained the same as
they have been for the past week

Question of Finances to
Be Taken Up By Congress

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Face to
face with an estimated annual def
cit Of not less than $4,000, 600 and
with a billion dollar program for
national defense awaiting approval,
the administration must decide
shortly what action congress shall
take 10 refill the national purse.
Four methods today apparently
are meeting with favor-a tax on
war profits if it legally can be
levied; an inheritance tax: increase
of the income tax 10 affect incomes
exceeding $4,000; renewal and in
creasing the scope OF the present
war revenue taxes.
Singularly enough. while the gov
eminent wrestles with its empty
treasury problem, the tide of pros
perity now increasing throughout
the country is causing bankers
alarm that il may result in monetary
disturbances. Three members OF the
federal reserve board. and Asst.
Sec'y OF the Treasury William p.
Malburn within the last few DAYS
have uttered warnings of the danger
OF imitation If not accompanied by
the utmost caution.
