WASHINGTON. July 6.--Physiclans of
the United States Public Health Service are
greatly alarmed at the epidemic of infantile
paralysis now raging in New York city.
They fear the spread of the disease over the
country, and issued a warning today asking
the public to take the utmost precaution TO
avoid contagion.
Bacteria infected" milk Is most likely the
cause of the paralysis, in the opinion of Dr,
william Colby Rucker. OF the United States
Health Service.
Whether the disease germs came from
diseased cows or whether they get Into the
milk later the department Is not prepared
to say. although the favored theory is the
latter. Cases of the paralysis among cows
are said tu be rare.
Probably the majority of adults have
suffered at some time from mild cases of
paralysis" said Doctor Rucker. ut may
have been diagnosed at the time as sum
mer complaint for are learning that
many attacks commonly believed to be
summer complaint really were develop
ments of paralysis. II seems likely the inn
munlty which most adults have toward the
disease may be due to their having had the
disease in some form while infants"
Other sources are believed to be;
Chronic carriers. dust clouds sheep.
chickens colts and flies. of these chronic
carriers flies and dust naturally would be
most strongly suspected In New York.

MOOSE PUZZLED
OVER ELECTORS
Washington Party Men and Pro-
gressive Delegates to Solve
Problem at Conference

The Washington party State leaders are
in quandary over the selection OF the third
party electors.
A meeting or conference of all the n,em-
bers of the Washington Party State Com
mittee, the delegates and the alternates to
the Progressive National Convention has
been called to decide the problem which
confronts the third party.
The meeting will be held at the Board of
Trade, Harrisburg, on Tuesday, July II.
The formal call was sent out today by State
Chairman A. Nevin DIETRICH.
The fact that the Progressives are with
out n candidate for President has caused
the complications. Under the PENNSYLVANIA
law the electors must be elected by the
presidential candidate within 30 days after
his nomination. Theodore Roosevelt was
nominated at the Progressive National Con-
vention, but later declined the nomination.
The National Committee was empowered to
fill any vacancy on the national ticket but
at its meeting a week ago 1t simply ndorsed
the candidacy of Charles Il. Hughes, the
Republican nominee.
The question to be solved by the WASH
ington party leaders, who favor n reunion
with the Republicans. is whether the clause
in the law which designates how the elec-
tors shall be chosen would still be ap-
picable IL the Progressives finally place
Hughes on their ticket. If this construction
cannot be placed on the law John NJ.
Parker, of Louisiana, nominee for Vice
President and leader of the bolt within the
Progressive party. will be permitted to name
the electors In Pennsylvania as well as all
of the other States, as their meeting Is to
be held on July IL. the day after the expra
tlon of the regular 3O-day time limit
They are seeking TO avoid this. as they
feel that Parker would name a complete
ticket of electors who would be opposed to
Hughes candidacy, and who would there

did not wait very long for within an hour

and explained the difficulty.

And so Mrs. Snowden was. II was the

men Cove and Clemence, of the Radnor
township force. testified that they timed
Mrs. Snowdens machine with stopwatches
as she proceeded west on Lancaster turn
pike crossing the dangerous Radnor road,
at Radnor. They said she was travelling at
about 80 miles an hour
THAT seems strange to me-" Mrst Snow
den said. "as J cut down the speed of my
car considerably. knowing the crossing to
be a dangerous one
Then you must have been going some
FAST" Magistrate Buckland commented
before you cut down speed" The last
time Mrs. Snowden appeared before Magis-
trate Buckland she said some caustlc things
but yesterday she promptly paid fine Of
SO and costs.
After she left the magistrate found an
English shilling among the pieces that paid
part of the fine.
"I'll keep that ms souvenir" he said.
