WAITE GOT $100,000
 FROM WEES AUNT

New York, May 15.-Dr. Arthur
 Warren Waite, who is to go on trial May P for the murder of his father in-law, John E. Peck, obtained nearly l $100,000 from his wife's aunt, Miss Katherine Peck, instead of $40,OOO, which appeared to be the sum at the time of his arrest.
 Miss Peck, who lives at the Park Avenue hotel, called upon Assistant District Attorney Dooling yesterday and left with him cancelled checks showing she had given S4S,7 750 to Dr. Waite between last June and January She also showed receipts for bonds she had given to him and upon which he raised $50,OO0.
 Contrary to most men who obtain money in that manner," said Mr. Dooling, "Waite invested this money only in standard stocks and upon a safe margin, so that Miss Peck's loss will not be heavy.
 Miss Peck has told us much of Waite's system of winning and hold ing confidence. Only few days be- fore he was arrested, when he knew every step was being trailed by de- tectives, and that his arrest was only matter of hours, he accompanied Miss Peck to Grace church for the Sunday morning service, sang every hymn in joyful manner, turned the leaves of the hymn book for his aunt and was so exceptionally attentive to her and so calm and pleasant that when he was arrested she refused to believe he was guilty"
 A letter written by Dr. Waite to Miss Peck on January 28 was given by her to MT. Dooling. It related how he had instructed his bankers to turn over all his papers to her if anything happened to him and mentioned an in- vestment lie had made for her by lend ing money to corporation.

nate lack of personal responsibility, 1 were also listed as causes.
 An interesting feature of the re- rort, and one which has not previous l 1ly been dwelt upon in studies of this character, relates to the effect of i'm migration and the rate of growth of the population of city upon the | tuberculosis death rate. 1t is shown that cities with a population com- posed largely of racial stock having g limited resistance to tuberculosis are subject to high mortality rate from that disease, while centers hay ing slow rate of population in- crease are likewise subject to high tuberculosis rate. The evidence is submitted in 8 comparative table covering sixteen American cities. AL most without exception those with high percentage of Irish, Scandina- vain and German stock and those
  relatively large. have g. correspond ingly high mortality, while those where the Italian and Jewish ele- nent is approximately great have a low tuberculosis death rate ,simil- arly, such cities as Detroit and Cleve- land, with high rates of population | increase show low tuberculosis mortality, while Cincinnati and Bal timore with relatively small popu- lation increases have a high tubercu- losis rate. Doubtless the true ex- planation of this discrepancy is that l advanced by the authors, namely | that where the population increases l is rapid new buildings are erected | to take the place of old insanitary structures and better housing condi- tiOns prevail.

CAR SHORTAGE HITS EVERYBODY.

A Southern railroad, asked to dis tribute an extraordinarily heavy ton. mage of early fruits and vegetables finds nearly half it's refrigerato, equipment on other lines and is un- able to get them back.
 More difficulty is being experi- enced in getting porishables tc market than ever before. There arc not enough refrigerator ca.s in the first place, and what there are oi them are not to be found at the points of congestion.
 The same condition applies to cags for general freight. There. are not sufficient of them to be had. The car shortage is serious" the rail- roads tell us. Freight is delayed at all shipping points. Some roads won't accept freight to certain points at all, being unable to guarantee de- livery within reasonable time or at all.
 Same old story. When times aye a little slack, the railroads have mil- lions in idle equipment piled on sid ings. When they are brisk, there are not enough cars. It probably will never be just right.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT

Children are the greatest destroy4 CTS of paper, a habit, encouraged lin some homes to keep the child occupied, which clings to it in
 schooldays and often in later life in the business world. |
 Among the materials essential tG the paper industry which central Eu4 rope has been supplying are rags, and in 1913, when prices ranged from < cents to 6 cents a pound, the import; |of rags amounted to over two kuna dred million pounds, or $2,G07 ,70=j These figures will give some ;idea o1 our wastefulness when we consides the quantity of rags thrown awas every day, with the results that wa have to .iipport them from Europe.

POVERTY AND TUBERCULOSIS
 Poverty and erculosis-tubercu- losis and poverty! These are the essential facts which force them selves to the attention of every in vestigator who faces the problem of that disease. The tenement house district of Cincinnati yields tuber- culosis morbidity just three times u: great as the areas where better housing prevails. Ill 197 families la which tuberculosis existed the aver age monthly income for family of four was approximately $57. After paying the prorata share for food and rent, balance of $5.13 re- mained for each individual to meet all other expenses. Such low sub sistence level works like black magic in the spread of tuberculosis. More over, and this is a point over which the public should ponder, the homo of the average wage earner was found to be far less sanitary than the average factory and workshop. IL regard to all the factors which make for healthful living, ventilation. sui ficient light. proper temperature, and freedom from overcrowding, the score was in favor of the factory in nearly every instance.
 The city of Cincinnati realized that her tuberculosis death rate was 90 per cent above the average and that is had failed to manifest a tendency to decline. She felt no qualms in making this admission. Rather. she determined that she would learn why, with an efficient health depart nlent and favorable climatic influ- ences. she was suffering from twice the mortality from that disease as her neighbor, Pittsburgh. Accord ingly the United States public health service was requested to make a thorough study of the situation and submit report. To show that some thing more than mere academic interest obtained. 1882 workers in l54 factories of the city voluntarily submitted to physical examination.
 The conclusions reached. point directly to the close connection be- tween poverty and tuberculosis. The great factor underlying the en- tire problem was seemingly that of economic conditions. One sixth of all tuberculosis cases came from cheap lodging houses. Alcoholism was a prominent cause, and often accelerat. ed the course of the disease. Occu- rational hazards and bad working conditions were apparently responsi- ble for about 20. per cent of the cages bYt lin The majority qfs in stances these hazards we're not nee. eesarily inherent in the occupation Previous tuberculosis in the family occurred in practically 2 third oi al! fhs cases investigated.

church was prettily decorated and the
boys and girls of the Sunday school occu-
pied the front seats. The pastor, Rev.

to the children, after which a concert
was given. The little folks rendered their
songs and recitations very creditably and
it was the opinion of all that this was
one of the most interesting services ever
given in the church. A feature of the
service was the baptism of George Myers

boys and eight girls, was graduated from
