ALCOHOL CAUSES MANY ACCI-
DENTS.

DR.. William J. Brickley, resident sur
geon at the HaymarEet Square Relief
Station, Boston, where 100000 patients
were treated last year. says that the
burden placed on workmen's compen-
sation insurance through alcohol is
very heavy; that it causes accidents,
obscures the diagnosis, increases the
danger of infection at the time of the
accident, prevents adequate treatment,
increases the danger of complications,
retards the process of repair, gives
poorer net result, and increases the
mortality; that "40.6 per cent of those
adults who died from accidents during
the past four years we're distinctly al
coholic at the time of the injury" Of
fifty-three cases of delirium tremens
patients who developed pneumonia
forty-four died, he says. And ''it is
fair to say that the hard drinker takes
about 20 per cent longer time to make
repairs from fractures of the large
bones.

Impairs Diagnosis.

When certain types of injury are
suffered by patient while under the
influence of alcohol it is impossible to
make full diagnosis until the effect
of the alcohol has passed off, he says.
Three different patients were brought
to the hospital, days after an injury
received while intoxicated, suffering
from ruptured bladder. Each was
moribund at entrance. Autopsies
showed that the condition might have
been easily relieved, surgically, if seen
earlier. The intoxication had obscured
the condition"
DR.. Brickley, summing UP, says that
alcoholism causes diseases both direct
ly and indirectly, prevents proper treat
ment, prolongs the recovery and in
creases the virulence and the hazard.
corroborative Testimony.
This report from DR.. Brickley was
supplemented at the recent annual
meeting of the International Associa-
ton of Industrial Accident Boards and
commissioners, at Columbus, o., by
Dudley M. Holman, of the Industrial
Accident Board of Massachusetts, who
said:
Il had case recently of a man who
never had been drunk in his life, but
probably took one, two or three drinks
a day. He received a bad fracture of
the right leg, was taken to the hospital
and quickly developed delirium ire.

1t was the drink that caused the death,

asserted that alcohol is a very great
factor in industrial accidents. The
employee most to be feared, he said,
is tho man who was drunk three or
four days before the accident hap
pened-the man not back to normal

Julius Nostrocwicz Playing Hide and
Seek With the Police.

Julius Yostrocwicz, a teamster en-
ployed by Solomon Shurberg, was ar
rested shortly after s o'clock this
morning by Detective Sergeant A. G.
Malone on a charge of violating the
city ordinance relative to overlooking
wagons with scrap metal and permit
ting 1t to fall into the roadway. The
accused was driving past the police
station when he was noticed sinful
taneously by Prosecutor 6. w. Klett,
Chief w. J. Rawlings, Captain T. w.
Grace and Detective Malone. AS the
scrap was even then dropping off the
wagon, his arrest followed, and the Of
ficers picked up a quantity to use as
evidence.
Yostrocwicz was arrested for a sim
liar offense earlier in the week and on
Wednesday was fined IS and costs. An
appeal is pending now. This makes
several times that Shurberg's employees
have been arrested for this offense.

John Rand living in a, small western

society and fine clothes more.
When her father fell heir to the
control Of great trust company, and
moved to New York, young Rand
went along. When he asked Sher-

was told that his income was too
