PERKINS, REFUSAL
BLOCKS WHITMAN'S
FOOD FIGHT PLAN
His Objection to Sharing Glory
with Governor Dampens
Administrations Ardor
rFror . star Correspondent, Of The Tribune. J

Albany, Dec 1.-The refusal of
George w. Perkins TO give any glory
to the Whitman administration by
serving as the head of a new state de-
partment Of foods and markets appears
10 have dampenee for the present
plans for an attack out of Albany on
the high cost of living.
A food Of bills proposing all sorts of
remedies for the present price of pork
chops may be expected as soon as the
Legislature convenes, one month hence.
The responsible heads of the Legis-
lature, however, say that they do not
now contemplate any legislation which
will interfere with the operation OF
natural economic laws. Show them spe-
cifc instances, they say, OF violations
Of existing statute by spectators in
foodstuffs and they will proceed toward
n cure in a sane and sober way. They
are of the opinion that the present
prices are natural outcomes of present
economic conditions, and not dictated
by corners.
Assembly and Senate leaders here to-
day claim that the feeling in the rural
communities is one of entire satisfac-
tion with present conditions. The folks
on the farms regard various schemes
for direct dealing between producer
! and consumer as entirely visionary.
4 This is not TO say, however, that
nothing will be attempted in Albany
/ this winter to increase by state aid and
| cooperation efficiency IN the methods
of buying and selling foodstuffs. II by
/ the creation of an enlarged and more
powerful state department of foods
and markets, successor to that OF
which John J. Dillon is now head. in
( telligent and sensible methods of coop
Grafton may be hoped for, the chances
are that such measure could be
pushed through. even if it added big
chunk to the budget. But the first head
of such a department must be some
one of the size and influence of Mr..
/ Perkins. Commissioner billions work
! is appreciated, but 1t is said to be the
opinion in powerful quarters that he
/ is not the man TO carry on the work of
great state department.

MURDER ROUNDUP NEAR END
Fifth Prisoner In Nichols Case on Way
Here from Utah

Axel Sampson, the fifth, and, as the
police believe, the last accomplish to
the murder of Mrs. Elizabeth Griggs
Nichols in her home, East Sixty-ninth
Street, on the night of September 8,
1915, who was found in prison in Salt
Lake City, is now on his way from Chi
cago in charge of John T. Dooling, As
sistant District Attorney, and a detec-
tive. The police say Sampson, alias
Axel Hill, acted as lookout while the
others threw a sheet over Mrs. Mich
ols's head in order to rob her Of her
jewels.
SIMPSONS whereabouts was revealed
to District Attorney Swami by Arthur
Waltone, one of Mrs. Nichols's former
servants who, with Eddie Lehto and
Joseph Mulholland, was arrested about
a year after the murder. They are now
awaiting trial, charged with murder in
the first degree. Sampson is also I'M
der indictment for first degree murder.
As Sampson still had time TO serve in
Utah, District Attorney Swami sent
Mr. Dooling out to request Governor
Spry to commute his sentence in order
that he might be extradited and
brought to trial here along with the
other conspirators.
Onni Talas, the understood Finnish
pantry boy who Joined the murder plot
and let the others into the house, was
convicted and sentenced to death, but
Governor Whitman committed his sem
tence. Detectives under Captain Jones
of the Third Branch actually arrested
Sampson few hours after Mrs. Mich
OILS was strangeled but they were
obliged to let him go because Talas
refused to identify him.

Hints at Retaliation
if Food Is EmbargOed

London, Dec. Under the title "a
Pacifst Dream of a Food Embargo
"The Spectator" agrees that an Ameri-
can embargo would have serious con-
sequences 1t would be opposed by the
American farmers and livestock trad
ers, says the newspaper, because 1t
would depress prices, and also the
business people would be justifably
frightened by the thought Of retalia-
tory embargoes.
Suppose, and it is no mere empty sup
position" says THE Spectator" that
the Parliament at Ottawa decided If
America put an embargo on exports OF
food to the Allied countries they would
put one on her logs and pulp. Where
would the newspapers Of the United
States get sufficient paper TO meet
their demands ?"

3 Doctors Believe Their
Discovery Is Agent of
Poliomyelitis
SEEK VACCINE TO
COMBAT DISEASE
g. w. Wheeler, of New
York, One of Trio Which
Announces Find

st. Paul, Dec. IA germ, believed TO
be the causative agent Of infantile
paralysis, has been isolated at the
Mayo clinic in Rochester, Mimi, by Or.
Z. c. Rosenow and his associates, DR.
F. b. Towne, of Boston. and Dr.. q. W.
Wheeler. Of New York, according 20 an
announcement made in The st. Paul
Dispatch" to-day. The scientists are
experimenting on a vaccine or serum to
combat the disease.
The physicians would not state posi-
lively that the micro-organism discoy-
cred was that Of insantile paralysis,
but said their experiments had pointed
that way. Their experiments were
based on the study DR.. Rosenow made
of more than fifty acute cases OF the
disease in New Yorh and Rochester.
What is described as a peculiar
"poymorphous streptococcus" has been
isolated, often in large numbers, from
the throats and tonsiis OF acute cases
Of infantile paralysis.
In different culture media the germs
assumed different sizes, 1t is declared.
in some cases they we-s quite invisible
under the microscope and easily filtered
through dense porcelain.
Using the organism in its large
form, paralysis has been consistently
produced in animals known to be in
susceptible TO incubation" says a
statement from the physicians.
"The exact relation of our results TO
the facts already established as to the
etiology Of poliomyelitis cannot yet be
definitely stated II appears 10 us that
the small filtered organism, which has
been generally accepted as the cause of
poliomyeitis, may be the form which
this streptococcus tends to take under
anarobic conditions in the central
nervous system and in suitable culture
mediums, while the larger and more
typically streptococcic forms, which in
vestigators have considered contamins-
tious, may be the identical organism
grown larger under suitable con-
ditions."

CHAMPION EATS
I3-POUND TURKEY
AND 24 PANCAKES
Better Overeat than to Lose
5000, but Never Again"
Says Pincus Emanuel

Solemnly Pincus Emanuel, Of 273
Madison Street, raised his right hand
and swore that never again would he
enter the lists as champion heavy
weight eater of the East Side. He
fought his last battle on Thanksgiving
Day. He won, but he is a grOggy
victim.
"Never again" he said yesterday.
"Never again. Believe me, if l would
be offered all the houses on this street
| wouldn't do it again"
Emanuel guessed wrong in the three
cornered political fight that was waged
in the 18th Congress District a few
weeks ago. He backed Leon Sanders,
Democrat, to defeat Meyer London,
Socialist. Samuel Davidson guessed
correctly, and in consequence Emanuel
agreed to eat thirteen-pound turkey,
with incidentals, or forfeit 5000.
81 didn't like to do it," Emanuel ex-
planned yesterday. 81 am not such a
good eater as used to be. But-well.
it is better to overeat than 10 lose
5000"
So. while a squad of friends ref
creed, Emanuel sharpened his appetite
with two big salt herring and went to
work. In the course of five hours he
consumed:
Bread.
Ten picked peppers (red).
Twenty-four potato pancakes.
One thirteen-pound turkey.
Six bottles of beer.
Whiskey unknown quantity.
1t was a long five hours for Emanuel.
Neither his heart nor his digestive ap-
paratus were in the battle as they were
in the days of 1911. when he made
away with a l1-pound turkey on a
5000 wager with Judge Aaron Levy
But he fought on, and eventually
proved, among other things. that the
most elastic substance known is the
lining around the human stomach.
But such night" said Emanuel
yesterday. "Not two hours did | sleep.
Believe me, | would be dead to-day if
didn't take two little pills was all
swelled up-so. To-day | am dazed,
yet. Believe me, never again. If
would be offered all the houses on this
street / wouldn't do it again"

Ultimatum from Dillon

During the morning State Market
Commissioner John j. Dillon aided the
fight for voluntary organizations for
lower prices when he issued a seventy
hour utimatum TO the cold storage
dealers in eggs to compel them to mark
the words "cold storage" on all eggs
that had been in storage for any period.
AT present such eggs are being sold
throughout the city TO retail dealers as
strictly fresh" as NEARBY gathered"
and "twenty-four-hou eggs" according
to the fancy Of the Spectator who pur-
veys them. The retailer, it was said,
did not know that he was obtaining a
cold storage product and was COM
PEELED to pay higher price because Of
/ his effort TO obtain the fresh laid egg.
The ultimatum expires at o'clock
Monday morning. Any cold storage
man offering eggs from his plant as
! fresh after that hour will be prose
cuted. A limited period was allowed
I the big dealers in which to work out a
plan for stamping their eggs months
ago. according to Mr.. Dillon, but they
have made no effort TO comply with the
law.
