Doctor Dies at Sea
After Saving Many
Influenza Patients

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Nov. s.-An
Italian liner which reached here to-
night, three weeks overdue, brought &
tale of heroism. The story is Of DR..
Antonio Onato, of Genoa. the ships
surgeon. who gave his life in the per
formance of his duty.
short while after the ship left for
America influenza appeared among pas
sengers and crew. Soon one-third of
those on board were down with the
malady. Single-handed DR.. Onato set
out to combat the disease, sticking at
his post day and night, without rest
and needless of danger
At Gibraltar the vessel was ouaran-
tined by the British health authorities.
For three weeks passengers who had
, escaped the influenza fretted on board,
while DR.. Onoto treated the forty who
were i'll.
The second engineer and three Of
the passengers died before the ply
sician was able to check the spread
of the disease. Passengers and Off
! GERS pleaded with him. telling him to
spare himself and leave the work IA
the British officials. He replied:
ut is as much my duty to go among
the passengers as it is for surgeon on
the battlefield to attend the wounded :,
DR.. Onoto's unceasing labor finally
bore fruit, and a clean bill of health
was given to the ship, which sped on
her way across the Atlantic. One day
out and the young doctor collapsed
from his exertions and died. He was
buried at sea. He left widow and
family.
Among the passengers who escaped
the disease were Giulo Rossi, basso al
>the Metropolitan Opera House. anG
Mario Marchese, musical conductor
both coming over for the grand opera
season starting next Monday.

Socialists Charge
Criminal Assault
To. Tammany Men

The Socialist party organization.
through q number of it's officials, an
nounced last night that 1t would start
criminal actions against Tamany work
ers in the 18th Congressional District,
where Algernon Lee, the party candi-
date, was defeated by Christopher D..
Sullivan, his Fusion opponent.
Alexander Trachtenberg, of the
Rand School of Social Science. who
was in charge of the Socialist watchers
in the district, charged that in five
polling places the lights were suddenly
turned out during the count and that
the places were kept dark for five
minutes. during which the Socialist
watchers were struck and beaten.
ut is not strange that in the 18th
and goth Districts, where the Socialists
were opposed by La Guardia and ID
Siegel, Republicans, there was not the
slightest disorder or strong-arm meth
DDS. while in the 18th. Tammanv
stronghold. we had complaints of the
usual Tammany tactics at every cleo
tion place.
"At $50 sharp, while the count Of
ballots was going on in five places, four
of them in public schools, the electric
lights suddenly went out. as if by a
prearranged plan. For five minutes
they stayed dark. and during that time
Zone of the watchers, at Public
School No. 7. Christie and Hester
streets, was struck in the face and
had three or four teeth knocked out
, by cowardly assailant working under
! the cover Of darkness. At Public School
No. 20 our watcher had been threat
ened, and took him out, as I feared
for his life at the hands of Tammany
! gangsters.
''At all of these places the Socialist
ballots were separated from the others
before the count, clearly contrary to
law, and it is this action which will
be the basis of charges now being
drawn up by the legal advisers of the
Socialist organization in this city.
Last year Che Socialist vote in this
district was between 70 and so per cent
of the total. In this election, because
of the tactics employed, it fell of
strangely. In some of the districts
there were more enrolled Socialist vot.
ers than the number Of votes we finally
got. In one district, even after the
count, there were eleven ballots un.
accounted for.
ITO show the lengths 20 which the
Tammany organization went to swine
the election, the Socialist headouarters
for the 18th District, at 255 Crane
Street, was broken into and rifled the
night before election and a batch OF
watchers certificates stolen, with the
obvious intention of sending fake So
cialist watchers, really Tammany
henchmen, to the polling places"

400 Orphans Found
AS Hunt Begins for
Influenza Victims S
Health Department to Care
for Children Made Des-
titute by Epidemic
Foster Parents Sought
More Than 1,0oo Vacant Beds
in Hospitals Considered En-
couraging Sign by Officials

Or. Royal S. Copeland, Health Com
missioner, is looking for foster parents
for 400 orphans whom he has found
already in the wake OF the influenza
epidemic. He announced yesterday he
wished to receive applications from
persons willing to adopt such children
and also wanted the names of all chill
dren left destitute and homeless as a
result of the epidemic. 1t is believed
the list Of 400 orphans already COM
piled will be augmented considerably.
The commissioners plans for the
care of child victims of the epidemic
were completed yesterday and ap-
proved at conference of the man
ayers of child-caring institutions.
Children who are convalescing from
influenza or pneumonia will be taken
care of in the children's wards at Bel
levue Hospital and in the hospital ship
Of st. Johns Guild, which is now an
chored in the East River, ut Twenty
covered sufficiently they will be taken
to Seaside Hospital on Staten Island,
and when pronounced we'll will be COM
nlitted to various child caring institu-
tions.
Children who have been exposed to
the disease, but have not been i'll, will
be taken to Seaside Hospital, at Coney
Island, until the danger of infection
is over.
The dwindling reports Of new cases
! Of influenza and pneumonia give the
! Health Commissioners staff more op-
portunity daily for their canvass of the
. city to ascertain what relief measures
are necessary to deal with the condi-
tions the epidemic left behind.
Four hundred and forty-seven new
cases Of influenza were reported to the
Health Department yesterday. New
pneumonia cases numbered 1873. The
reports for Tuesday, delayed because
of the election holiday, showed 1,0s4
new influenza cases aud PIT of pneu-
monia. Physicians laxity in reporting
Sundays cases until Monday is blamed
F.; for the increases apparent in the off
cai figures on Tuesday. On the same
grounds to-day's figures are expected
to carry an excess of cases delayed be-
cause of the holiday on Tuesday.
Commissioner Copeland will TO-DAY
celebrate jointly the end of the epi-
denlic and his tiftieth birthday, he said
yesterday. There are now upward OF
thousand vacant beds in the city's
hospitals, showing the rapid decline in
the congested situation existing two
weeks ago. st. Johns Guild, on Staten
Island, is the only emergency hospital
remaining open.

Union Lighterage
Men Tie Up Three
Railway Terminals
Workers Begin General
Walk Out; Leaders Say
1000 Will Quit Jobs

Lighterage men of New York harbor
began last night general walk out
which, when completed, will affect, ac-
cording to union leaders, in the neigh
borhood of 1900 men. Thus far. il
was said late last night, the Lacka-
wanna, Central Railroad of New Jersey
and Pennsylvania terminals have been
completely tied up.
The walk-out began shortly after
say they received no warning that the
strike was to occur and were COM
pletely unprepared. They are striving
now to effect settlement of the situa-
ton which, if allowed to develop, may
tie up all the floating equipment of all
railroads having terminals here.
According to the union leaders. the
men who walked out are demanding the
enforcement of the eight-hour day,
with extra pay for overtime. Leaders
assert the 1ighterage men often are
called on to work ten and twelve hours
and do not receive extra pay for over
time.
There was no disorder whatever at
tendant upon the walkout. The men
tied up their boats at their appointed
piers and quietly deserted them. Thus
far it has not been necessary for the
police to be called in.
According to the captain Of Cen
tral Railroad tug who was among the
men who walked out, the lighterage
men have been negotiating with the
railroad companies relative to their
present demands since January. This
man denied he and his fellows were
on strike but said they had decided
simply to remain away from their EN-
ployment until the railroad companies
see fit to make that employment more
attractive.
1t is probable the government. un-
der the direction of which the railroad
tugs and lighters are being operated,
will intervene Immediately.

George NJ. Cohan started it, Willie
Collier took it up and now the Friars
and the Lambs ara in 1t up to the
spots where they have to brush their
hair on the bias. The tuneful abbot Of
the Friars. seated among the brethren
in the austere monastery in West Forty
eighth Street, was muslng audibly.
Humbly his followers hung upon his
words, and this is what they heard,
"Of course, the Lambs may make a
showing on this United War Work
drive, but we got EN- skinned forty
ways"
There was a general murmur of as
sent, and none noticed that one of the
abbot's auditors slipped silently away
in the shadows and softly closed the
great oaken door behind him. The rene
gade Friar pushed resolutely through
the darkness-for though the pious
brothe rhood had been about their tasks
for hours it was not yet dawn--until
he reached tho fold in Forty-1ourth
Street. where he obtained admittance
to the huddling Lambs by making a
noise like a wolf. The gentle creatures
don't like to keep wolf at the door,.
1t was to woolly Willie himself that
the newcomer repeated the words Of
George the Abbot. Woolly Willie
kicked up his heels, bleating fiercely
the while. and all the assembled Lambs
haa-ed ominously at hearing what
George the Abbot had said. Presently
the telephone bell at the Friars
shrilled
"Yes, this is me-" said George the
Abbot quantity. "Sure, know you,
Willie. Yes, said it, What about it

tells ME you're wrong, | tell you.

Don t Desert Troops Euen Should

Even should the German mission
now speeding to receive the word Of
Foch result in an immediate cessa-
tion OF hostilities, the need for large
oversubscription to the United War
Work Campaign fund would not be
lessened. On the contrary, it would
be increased.
That was the message DR.. John z.
Mott, director general Of the campaign,
drove home again and again to the
group of prominent persons who gath
cred in the home Of John D. Rookie
feller, jr., yesterday afternoon in an
informal pre-campaign meeting.
DR.. Mott dwelt at length upon the
time that must elapsc before the over
seas troops can hope to return to this
country.
To provide recreation for the long
period the seven organizations asso-
ciated in the drive, DR.. Mott announced,
have prepared an elaborate programme.

said he, 'but / am here this afternoon

WASHINGTON, November S.

WASHINGTON, November S.
In October, 1917, the United
States came very near shooting a
spy.
civilian j. Dunbar," U. s. NJ,
enlisted in the Naval Reserve just
prior to the declaration Of war. Be-
tween March 20, 1917, and October
6, 1917, he achieved the rank of
ensign and was put in command Of
a subn. .arine chaser.
On October 16, 1917, Dunbar
was arrested by New York City de-
tectives and lodged in Jail on the
charge Of "conspiring to obtain in
formation against the United States
government by enlisting in the army
and navy with the intention of get
ting data on this government"
Thereafter several facts devel-
oped---and a rumor.
The facts were:
Dunbar was born in Hanover,
Germany, and falsely swore to citi-
zenship in Pottstown, Penn, when
enlisting in the navy.
Agents of the Department of Jus
tice had been trailing Dunbar for
ten days before his arrest.
Previous to that Dunbar had come
under suspicion Of the Naval Intel
ligence Bureau and had been investi-
gated.
On October 6, ten days before his
arrest, he was discharged from the
navy ''by direction" as officially an
nounced "of a telegram from the Bu-
reau of Navigation to the comman-
dant of the Sd Naval District"
The rumor was that the Navy De-
partment, cognizant of Dunbar's
record of German birth, perjured cit
izenship and of certain facts devel-
oped by the investigation Of its own
intelligence bureau, discharged Dun
bar so that when he was ultimately
arrested he would not be in uniform
and, therefore, would not be subject
to court martial and death by the
firing squad.
