In Spite of Efforts of Health Authorities Disease Con-
 tinues to Spread
DEATH TOLL HIGH
 ALL OVER COUNTRY
Not a Single State East of the Mississippi Is Clear of Malady, and Conditions Growing
 More Serious

Washington, October 15. Spanish influenza now has reached epidemic proportions in practically every state and in only three has 1t been report ed as stationary, with some i'm provement in the situation in Massachusetts. In spite of all efforts by federal, state and To- cal authorities the disease has spread rapidly and the death toll has been high in most parts of the nation.
 In army camps the epidemic is sub siding, a further decrease in new cases being noted today at the office of the surgeon general of the army. The total number of eases reported was 649s, a decrease of ITS from yesterday. Pneumonia cases were 1916 against 2523 the day before, but the number or oeatnS lHcfSasSu, pSihS oo' "o"~ 716 yesterday.
 Reports made public tonight by the public health service show that out side of Massachusetts the epidemic is severe throughout New England. Not 8 single state east of the Mississippi is clear of the disease, and ill most of the coast states. from Maine to Flor ida, conditions are serious.
 INCREASING IN WEST
 The number of cases reported is in- creasing also in Oregon, Washing ton and California, while the malady has appeared in all mountain states and Is epidemic in most of them. Minnesota is the only west central state report ing the disease stationary. while in- fluenza is epidemic in Ohio, Michigan. Indiana, Wisconsin and Illinois. It also is epidemic in all the southern states as well as in Oklahoma and Arkan- sas.
 In war-crowded District of Columbia the epidemic continues unabated. As a further precautionary measure, the treasury and interior departments to- day issued orders that no new em- ployes of these departments be brought to Washington until further notice. Similar action is expected by other government departments which still are in need of additional help.
 The fuel administration, at the sug gestion of the public health service, also announced today that as far as possible all engagements and appoint ments for conferences with outzof-town persons during 1the next twoesweeks will be cancelled. This. action.Nit is hoped, will help to relieve the con gested general and local transporta- tion conditions and minimize the spread of influenza.

three hundred powder workmen bound

which left this city at 2 p. m, became
disabled in mid-stream and was in grave
danger until rescued by the City Of Cam
den. IL was 10 o'clock last night before
both vessels reached this city.
The trip of the Brandywine was safe
enough until it struck huge foes OF ice
mid-stream and then in battling with
these, the rudder of the craft became dis
abled
From about 3 o'clock until after g
the Brandywine struggled with the ice.
As the afternoon began 10 wanc the boat
gradually began working down stream
until it reached point of New Castle.
At this juncture The City of Camden, IN
her homeward bound trip from Phladcl-
phia, hove in sight, and in response to
signals for help, went to the assistance at
the Brandywine The two boats were
finally lashed together and an attempt
was made To get into Deep Water Point,
but this they were unable to do, and they
were forced finally to return to this side of
the river

NEW YORK, March 10-Organized Labor at three monster mass meet ings have vehemently protested against the hanging of Thomas Moon ey and also against the Amendment to the Espionage Act, which they claim is virtually a conscription of Labor. Over 60,000 people were in attendance at these meetings which were address ed by Gompers, Morrison, Hillquit, ScoA Nearing and other speakers in- terested in the Labor movement and also in the interests of American Jus tice. Resolutions were passed pledg- ing the support of all organized Labor in the United States to petition the President to free Mooney and if this protest fails a General Strike shall be declared all over the country.

Gompers advised against nasty action and said that the hang ing of Mooney was not only known as judicial murder all over this coun- try but in every civilized country in
 the world today and that he was positive that President Wilson would not under any circumstances allow such a prostitution of the means of justice. That if the President of the United States through his high office could gain a new trial for Mooney, where he would be assured of justice, then he was sure that the President would not see an innocent man tied
