FLEET BUSHES
TO HALT FOE"
Red and Blue Scouts at
Least Believed To Be
in Touch.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Navy officials
believed it possible tonight that the
Red and Blue fleets had come into con-
tact somewhere off the Atlantic Coast
and were enacting the closing scenes Of
the great war game which began two
days ago. A strict censorship was i'm
posed, however, by Rear Admiral Ben
son, acting Secretary and chief of OPP
erations, on all reports reaching the
department.
A message early to-day from Rear
Admiral Helm, commanding the Blue
defending feet, indicated that his
scouts might have located either the
Red fleet or its phantom train of trans
ports alphabetically laden with the
men and supplies of an invading army
which Admiral Mayo is seeking to land
on the Atlantic coast.
There were indications also that fur
Their reports had come showing that the
Blue fleet was hurrying toward its
enemy and that the scouts at least were
in touch. Admiral Benson would not
discuss the progress of the game fur
Their than to say that it was possible a
theoretical battle was taking place to-
night.
The outcome will be determined by
Rear Admiral Knight, head of the navy
war college, who as umpire is on the
scene of action aboard the superdread-
rought Pennsylvania. Admiral knight
receives regular reports from the COM
manders Of the two fleets as to their
dispositions.

BRYAN A VICTIM
OF BRINNIER, TOO
Champ Clark Also Said To
Have Been Tricked by
Check SWindler.

Frederick J. Brinnier, whose father
is Corporation Counsel of Kingston
n. Y, and was formerly Mayor Of that
city, is about to go to prison again
after being at liberty only six months
He pleaded guilty in Special Sessions

knew his father we'll, are among those
whom he is said TO have fleeced. HIS
last term in Clinton Prison, from which
his father obtained his release, was for
shooting Flora Belmont, chorus girl
in a Chinese restaurant in Brooklyn.
Before that Brinnier had been IN
Sing Sing because of worthless checks,
and il is said that warrant for his
arrest on a similar charge has been
issued at Ellenville, n Y. William D.

leader IN llSleI tOuHbs h'iN
tanned William j. Bryan at his planta-
ton on the Isle of Pines.
The transaction which Brinuier ad-
mitted yesterday to Justices Collins,
Freschi and Edwards is only one of the
accusations which the police bring
against him. Agents of apartment
houses on Riverside Drive have identi-
fed him as the young man who engaged
apartments and vanished soon after
neighboring apartments had been loot
ed. Sometimes, it is said, the advance
rent was paid by means OF check
that proved TO be valueless. The police
of Rhineciff are also anxious to inter-
rogate him concerning burglaries COM
mitted there.
Complaints have been made Of worth
less checks he left behind in Pough-
keepsie, and the check trail leads also
to Newburgh and Middletown.
In the circular sent out by the police
Brinnier was described as a cocaine
addict He denied this yesterday, say
ing that his haggard appearance was
due to tuberculosis. He was remanded
until August 81 for sentence. HIS
father declared yesterday that Freder'
ick need not expect him to intervene
again TO save him.

Many Babies Not Plague
Victims Taken to Hos
pitfalls, Says Physician.
TWO CASES CITED
OF KIDNAPPING"
Paralysis Contracted After
Contact with Other Pa
tientS, Is Assertion.

Mothers who battle with ambulance
surgeons and nurses that attempt to
take their children to contagious di-
sease hospitals after an infantile pa
ralysis diagnosis were upheld yesterday
by DR.. Joseph +. X. Stack, Health Com
missioner of Hoboken. Two such cases
were reported Yesterday, one in Yon-
kers and another in Brooklyn, where
Mrs. Jennie Dasnoit, Of 365 Fifty fourth
Street, charged that policemen and am
bulance surgeons forcibly entered her
home and kidnapped" her two-year-old
nephew.
81 do not blame mothers for putting
up stiff fight when their children are
taken from them" said DR.. Stack. 81
believe many babies are in institutions
that are not suffering from infantile
paralysis, and ! am of the firm belief
that great many were rushed to con-
tagious hospitals, not only in this coun-
ty, but in New York City and other
places, and at the time they never had
few days contact with other cases.
"lf our eminent specialists of to-day
cannot tell us the real cause and how
the disease is spread, how can we ex-
pect physicians and local boards of
health to make diagnosis on first see
ing a child, and then rush the child 10
contagious hospital where there is a
true case of infantile paralysis? In
other words, if trained physicians make
mistakes, why should our local Board
of Health become panicstricken and
not give the child half chance for its
life?
81 am of the opinion that n majority
of them are mistaken diagnoses. and
that the majority of deaths in children
under one year old are induced to a
great extent by the child being
snatched from parents. with complete
changes of diet and surroundings, to-
gether with Gastro-interic disturb
snces."
The child seized in Brooklyn yester-
day by ambulance surgeons was de-
clared by its aunt to have been exam
ined by DR.. NJ +. Lewis. of Fourth
Avenue and Fifty-fourth street, who,
Mrs. Dasnoit said, pronounced the child
to be suffering from convulsions.
Board of Health officials said, how
ever that the child became i'll a week
later, and was not taken to DR.. Lewis
again, but TO a hospital. where its new
illness was diagnosed as infantile pa
ralysis. Mrs. Dasnoit was permitted to
take the baby home when she said she
could afford to employ an attendant
and could keep the child isolated.
When she failed to do this, it wa,
said. the baby was taken to the hos
pital.
$50 far as commissions are con-
cerned," said Health Commissioners
Emerson, that is a symptom often
seen in true cases of paralysis. Fur
thermore, as have often explained;
no child is taken to a hospital until
the preliminary diagnosis is confirmed
by a physician especially trained in
infantile paralysis"
