OPPOSES ENLIsTING THE TUBER-
CULoUS.
National Association Warns Against
Threatened Danger to New Army.

New York, June 4.-Aroused by re-
ports that history of tuberculosis or
even the existence Of the disease in
some form will not be considered by
some medical examiners as a bar to en-
listment in the United States Army
and Navy, the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis is urging upon federal au-
thorities the Importance of taking ev-
cry possible precaution to prevent the
spread of tuberculosis among enlisted
men through the breaking down of af-
ficted persons or persons with a his
tory of tuberculosis. Such cases, de-
veloping rapidly under the rigors of
army life, constitute a serious menace
to those who enter the ranks without
infection.
Resolutions to this effect have been
sent to President Wilson, the Council
of National Defense, and to the secre-
taries of War and the Navy.
1t is pointed out in the resolution
that it has been the experience of the
warning nations of Europe that cases
of incipient and even moderately ad
vanced tuberculosis are frequently un-
recognized in the routine examination
of recruits; and that inactive tubercu-
losis is frequently rendered active by
the physical and mental strain and ex-
posure of modern warfare.
"The appalling prevalence of tuber-
culosis in the armies both in the field
and in the concentration camps with
the inevitable and widespread extern
sion of the infection from these to the
civilian population is the greatest of
all health problems presented by the
present war;" it continues, "and the
extreme gravity of the situation de-
mands that the services of all the most
highly trained men available be util.
lied most effectively for protection
against the occurrence of conditions
now prevailing in France and other
countries.
The Association recommends the en-
listment by the Council of National
Defense of the best available tubercu-
losis experts and agencies in the coun-
try for the following specific purposes:
"(a) To make under the command
of ranking medical officer of the ar
my corps repeated routine examina-
tions and observation of recruits while
in training and mobilization camps for
the purpose of detecting any obscure
tuberculosis LESSONS;
"(b) To utilize and enlarge the ex-
isting sanatoria and hospitals of our
country so that all cases of tuberculo-
sis arising in our forces may be ade-
quately cared for as near as possible
to their own homes;
"(c) To work out in cooperation
with existing health authorities a def
mite, comprehensive and constructive
program for adequate prevention and
control of tuberculosis among the whole
population"

WORK FOR STATE, BUT KEEP
RIGHT ON AS BURGLARS.
Three fTrust'' Witnesses Caught
Stealing Sent Back to Joliet.

On the eve of the trial of the "bur-
glary trust' which will soon be on be-
fore Judge Fitch, three of States At
torney Hoyne's witnesses were arrested
and taken back to. Joliet. They were
charged with breach of parole.
While they have been doing business
in the day time with the states attor-
ney's office in connection with prosecu-
tions of police graft, they have been
spending the nights blowing safes,
carting away clothing goods, or run
ming econ" games, according to repre-
sentations made to the parole commits
sion. Confessions of Harry Green and
Morris Kleiman, made to Attorney
Patrick Fl. O'Donnell, describing burg
laries in which some of the state IS
witnesses took part while on parole,
were filed with the parole commission.
The confessions, as submitted by Mr..
O'Donnen, assert that the witnesses
were getting protection from the
states attorneys Office.
Three Back to Joliet.
The men sent back to the peniten-
tiary are: Isador Wexler, burglar;
Morris Mendelson, burglar; Abe Frank,
econ" man. Nathan Steinberg, an
other state IS witness, was returned to
Joliet previously.
Green was released from the peni-
tentiary in January, 1916. The first
burglary committed, he says, was with
Steinberg, who was on parole follow
ing his activities in the trial of former
Police Capt. Storen and Kleiman.
They robbed a store on Division street,
near Robey, and sold the goods to a
man named Goodman for $135.
He said that Steinberg, by promising
to procure another witness against At
torney O'Donnen and Attorney Charles
E. Erbstein, who were being prosecuted
for subornation of perjury in the police
graft cases, was able through State IS
Hoyne to get a shoplifter un-
der sentence free. Steinberg had been
living with her, according to Green.
Clothing Store Looted
The next job listed in the confession
was the Mentenbaum clothing store on
Twelfth street near Union street.
Clothing was sold to Goodman for $500.
Green says that Steinberg took more
money to the states attorneys Office.
The defendants in the "burglary
trust" case are Nathan Steinberg, said
to be king of the trust, who is now in
Joliet; Ike Kiminsky, Mike Mendelson,
Morris Mendelson, Green, and Klein
man. Attorney 0'Donnell is repre-
senting Green and Reinman, who will
plead guilty, according to Mr.. oDon.
