Urges
Early Trial for
DR.. L. P. Brown
Asserts Drug Bureau Head
Is Entitled to Square Deal
and Should Be Heard

Health Commissioner Royal S. Cope
land announced yesterday that he had
asked the Corporation Counseps Office
to speed up the preparation Of charges
against DR.. Lucius Polk Brown, di-
rector of the Bureau Of Food and
Drugs, suspended ten days ago.
The request, he said, was made on
Friday, and while he had not heard
from the Corporation Counsel's Office
he had hopes that it would be possible
to serve the papers on DR.. Brown the
first of the week.
"The Brown case" he said, "is one
of the things l want to clean up, and
square deal And necessary element
in square deal is an early trial"
Should the charges be ready for ser
vice tomorrow, it is not possible that
DR.. Brown will go to trial before next
week, as he will require some time in
which to prepare to meet the case
against him.
To date. he says, he has only the
vaguest idea as to the charges he will
be called upon to meet. All the infor-
nation he has received Is contained in
the letter James E. MacBride sent to
Mayor Hylan.
Olfer to AID HIcaSeS GOfRaS
DR.. Copeland made public yesterday
a letter from Surgeon General w. c.
Gorgas, of the army, acknowledging
receipt of Xecent offer to cooperate,
and emphasizing the necessity of main
tanning the high standards of the de-
partment. General Gorgas wrote:

administration it is absolutely essen
tial that highly qualified and espe

ventive medicine and sanitation shall
conduct the specialized work.
Accept my congratulations for
your stated endeavor to maintain the
highest standard for health condi-
tions in New York City"
Lieutenant F. J. Osborne, in charge
of the sanitary work of the army in
Copeland for cooperating in the task
of protecting the soldiers.
Staten Island Rules Relaxed
In order that Staten Islanders may
have more milk, DR.. Copeland has
agreed with Borough President Calvin
Van Name that some restrictions of the
Board of Health governing the keeping
Of COWS may, under proper conditions, be
waived in thinly settled portions of that
borough. Mr. Van Name is so informed
in letter of yesterday in which DR..
Copeland says, however, that cleanly
conditions in COW barns must be main
tanned.
In regard to the keeping of hens and
rules that the only conditions that
must be observed are cleanliness and
a decent consideration for the rights of
neighbors.

Rainbows Do Great Work

The complete arithmetical picture of
the achievements of the Rainbow Divi-
sion, which carried on the Liberty Loan
campaign in the eighty-six leading in
dustries of the city, became available
yesterday. 1t reported total subscrip-
tions amounting to 564,757 $40 for the
third loan, against s4o9,367,15o in the
second quota. It's quota in the last drive
was $3.50 100000, which is half of that
of the entire New York District.
Seventy committees passed beyond
the marks they set in the campaign
last October. The electrical committee,
of which Theodore Beran, of the Gen
eral Electric Company, is chairman,
made the greatest proportionate in
crease. Its aggregate for the second
loan was sao9,0oo and for the third,
$9457 900. This committee won an in
dustrial honor flag containing twenty
one stars, indicating an increase Of
80 per cent over the total in the Sec

FOR MIGHTY BLOW

WASHINGTON, D. c., May H.
America must prepare for further
great sacrifices to meet the de-
mands of the gigantic effort now
taking shape to Illustrate Teuton
designs on the world. This will be
the message of President Wilson
tomorrow night when he opens the
Red Cross campaign in New York.
With a serious situation on all
fronts America is preparing for a
mighty strike before the close of
1919. At the same tine. as he has
stated previously, the nation
stands ready to hear honest offers
of peace.
An indication Of the size of Americas
program is seen in the demand that the
shipping board increase its 1919 pro-
gram sixty percent. Millions of dol
lars in advance contracts for all kinds
Of war needs are to be let in prepara-
tion for the great army expected to be
in France before another twelve months
A Just peace appears possible now.
according to authorities. only with the
complete crushing Of Germany's de
termination to hold the devastated coun-
tries she has overrun.
The president left Washington for
New York at ten o'clock this morning.

years in this region happened at
midnight when William Grapp, %
years old, and William Miller, %
years old two well known farmers
of Hessville, were drowned when a
new Ford owned and driven by
William Chick ran into the ditch
and turned upside down, burying
the three men beneath it in about
three feet of water.
Chick said that he with the other
two men were driving north on
Kennedy avenue about II o'clock
last night on their way home from
Highland to Hessville where they
all live.
When about 1000 feet north of the
Little Calumet river bridge Chick says
he was blinded by the bright lights OF
an automobile coming from the other
direction and in turning out ran into
the ditch which is filed with water
The accident is inexplicable as the road
IS banked with heavy willows through
which the little car must have crushed.
Chick was able to crawl out and stop

They were rushed to the Hammond

worked over them for two hours but to
