New York, July 29.-Experts study
ing the infantile paralysis epidemic
turned back into ancient Chinese medi-
cal lore today in the hope of achieving
their objective-a preventative or cure
for the scourge that has killed more
than a hundred babies week for sew
EN- weeks.
Five Chinese physicians applied to
health Officials today for permission to
study with United States experts. They
believe infantile paralysis is the same
disease which harried China for hun
dreds of years before a cure was dis
covered in the juice of plant that
grows in the Orient. They probably will
sit with the IL noted experts who are
coming from various sections of the
country Thursday to confer with local

Admiral Cameron McRae
WinslOw, Noted Naval
Seadog, Retres To-day

Washington, July 29.-Rear Ad-
miral Cameron McRae Winslow, COM
mander of the Pacific fleet, one of the
Navy's old seadogs and incidentally,
one OF its richest men, retired from
active service today on his 62d birth
day-that being the statutory age for
retirement.
Rear Admiral Winslow s wealth-he
married a daughter of the Sugar King,
Havemeyer, never interfered with his
service. He did lot of work.
Included was the fact of taking the
Battleship New Hampshire right up to
the wharf at New York, without the
aid of any help but his channel sense.
This, by the way, was termed by Ad-
miral Goodrich, his superior officer
Winslow then was captain-as the
finest piece Of seamanship he ever saw.
Admiral Winslow was boosted five
numbers in rank when as Lieutenant
G. McR. Winslow he cut the cables in
Cienfuegos Harbor, Cuba, during the
war with Spain-with the Spaniards
firing from distance of $50 yards.
In this engagement marine was
killed and nine men-including Lieu
tenant c. MGR. Winslow-wounded
Winslow was wounded in the hand His
promotion came when he was recon-
mended for extraordinary heroism. "
Winslow and his men went out in
sail and motor launches. Winslow was
in charge. With the big guns on the
ships out in the harbor firing at the
cable offiee-they wrecked h before
Winslow reached shore-Winslow went
into the face of Spanish lombard
ment. He got by with it in excellent
shape-some casualties reported, but
the work done.
Admiral Winslow has done lot of
sea duty. He has done some land duty,
too-enough TO be known to New
York Harbor in 1909, 1910 and 1911,
and to those at Newport, r.. l., when
he was at the naval war college in
1904.
At the time of his retirement Win
slow was ful1 admiral, being entitled
10 that rank by virtue of his command
of the Pacific fleet. He served az o
member of the Slocum commission
when the burning of the New York ex-
cursion steamer was investigated.
Winslow was born in Washington in
] 1884. He was appointed to the Naval
Academy by the president in 1870, and
graduated in 1875.

Judge Webster Will

ruled the demurrer in the suit of Dan
iel Webster against the county clerk
of Marion county. The suit was
brought to enjoin the county clerk from
placing the name Of Robert c. Wyg.
ant g name on the ballot for the com
ing election. Mr.. Webster who is justice
of the peace for Salem precinct, holding
that his term of office was six years,
and so did not expire until the end of
the year 1918, did not seek the aomina-
tion. Mr.. Wygant believing the term
was hut four years made the race for
the nomination and won. This caused
the injunction suit as above. Judge
Galloway in overruling the demurrer,
hold that justice of the peace was a
judicial officer, as much a judge as any
other, though of more limited jurisdic-
ton, and therefore comes within the
provision of the law making the terms
of judges six years. Under this decision
there will be no election for justice of
the peace this year and Justice Webster
will hold over until 1918.
