Copeland Advises Against
Overcrowding of Cars to
Combat Disease
Public Service Board
Asked to Cooperate
352 New Cases Reported,
Mostly in Brooklyn;
IL Prove Fatal


Dr. Royal S. Copeland Commissioner
of Health yesterday asked the Public
Service Commission to prohibit crowd
ing of passengers in subway and ele-
waited trains as g measure in the pre-
vention of the rapid spread of Spanish
influenza. This action was taken, DR..
Copeland announced, after exhaustive
tests by the Board of Health showed
the cars to be the abiding place of in
fiuenza bronchitis and pneumonia
germs.
Congress yesterday appropriated 81
100000 20 fight the disease, and called
upon the Secretaries of War, Navy
and Treasury to use the forces at their
command to aid the local authorities.
At the same time DIR. Copeland an
nounced that 352 new cases of in
fiuenza had been reported to him with
in the twenty four hours ended at 8
o'clock yesterday morning, an increase
of twenty-eight cases over the total of
the day before. Twelve deaths from
the disease were reported during the
same period, as compared with twenty

now had 1860 cases in all
Hubbell Promises Aid
Charles Bulkley Hubbell, chairman
of the Public Service Commission,
when apprsed of DR.. Copeland's &C
ton, declared she would do all in his
power to cooperate with the Health
Department. He advised people to
keep out of the subways and elevated
trains where possible during the next
three or four days as a simple way of
relieving overcrowding. and to use di-
rect routes where it would not be of
too much Inconvenience.
Commissioner Copeland, after con-
ferring with DR.. Leland E. Cofer,
Health Officer of the Port, said:
'As q result of meteorological ex-
aminations made of air in crowded sub
way and elevated trains by the Board
of Health the presence in large guam
titles is shown of germs of influenza,
bronchitis, pneumonia and other in
fectious diseases. have therefore ad-
dressed the following letter to the Pub
lie Service Commission:
DIR. Copeland's Letter
Gentlemen - In the transmission
of Spanish influenza, one of the most
dangerous factors is the close crowd
ing Of people.
"'Wth reference to the public
carriers three things are vtally i'm
portant First, that these cars be
well ventilated second, that crowd
ing be prohibited, and third, that
the dry sweeping of platforms and
steps be avoided
"We earnestly request you to take
the necessary measures to impress
upon the carriers the Importance of
these sensible, sanitary requirements
We have had such cordial coopera-
ton from the transportation COM
panies that undoubtedly the mere
suggestion from the commission will
cause them to comply with whatever
action IS necessary in the matter.

BRITISH AvIATORS
|DASH into FIGHT
ON ALL FRONTS
IA German Planes FeIIed on
NOyon Line Sunday,

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE. Tuesday, June 1.-THE
British air service has been improving
steadily in recent days. This has been
due, perhaps to an increase in men and
equipment. One famous British air
man alone destroyed three German ma
chimes within few hours.
There have been more. airplanes fly
ing over British territory lately than
IN any other Similar period, but these
enemy airmen are generally very high
in the daytime, for observation work
and photographing.
Help on Noyon Line.
Reports from British flyers who have
been sent out to assist the French
along the Montdidier- -Noyon sector
show that these aviatorS have been
rendering invaluable service to their
allies. AS showing the great amount
|of work they are doing it may be stated
that on June 9 they fired more than
10000 rounds from their machine guns
LAT enemy troops and transport and
dropped more than 800 bombs of all
sizes on military objectiyes, including
troops.
Fourteen Downed Sunday.
Last Sunday fourteen German planes
were destroyed and four others we're
shot down out of control along the Brit

Interesting light is thrown upon
the attitude OF the German foreign
secretary, Herr Won Kuehlmann, to-
ward the Emperor Charles by the
following telegram, issued through
the official German Wolff bureau
to the German press on April H.
II reveals unmistakably the Intention
OF Herr Won kuehlmann to atiront
the Austrian emperor:
VIENNA, April 26.-Dr. Won
Kuehlmann arrived this morning
in Vienna on his way to Bucharest
AS is known, Herr Won Kuehlmann
was obliged some days ago TO stay
in bed with sore throat, and had
not completely recovered when he
started on his journey. In conse-
quence of his state of health, he
was not able to appear in, audi
enoe before the emperor this morn
ing, and could not accept the I'M
'perial invitation to luncheon. On
his way back from Bucharest Herr
Won kuehlmann will appear before
his majesty to return thanks Tor
the high decoration recently be
slowed upon him. Herr Won Kuehl-
mann, who is starting tonight for
Bucharest together with Baron de
Burian, spent the day in the Ger
man embassy, where he lunched,
and afterwards conferred with the
Ausro- Hungarian foreign minis
ter"
The conclusion that-f Herr Won
Kuehlmann was well enough to go
10 the German embassy and 10
lunch with Baron de Burian. he
was not too i'll to drive to the Hot
burg and lunch with the emperor
seems irresistible.

Well Due at Burkburnett

The Burkburnett pool. in Wichita
county, is the most active district in the
northern Texas oil fields, according to
last weeks review of the fields. Out Of
81 compilations reported In all northern
Texas fields last week, 10 were in the
Burkburnett district and out of total
new production of 2,004 bafrels, 1,135
barrels had been added in the Burk-
burnett pool. That report was made
before the Ranger gusher came in.
1t is in this field that the Central Pro-
ducers Oil company, O'Dell and others,
are drilling their deep test, offsetting
the Central Producers 60-acre lease on
which it has daily production at this
time Of 200 barrels, in 81 shallow wells.
. On Saturday, the drills in this test were
at a depth of about LOO feet. Pay
sand is expected within a week. An
other deep test, the Bacon Switch well,
is being sunk little farther out from
the companys lease. Two miles north
east of the property, the Gilliland-Fish-
er well, at 1900 feet, is flowing oil at
the rate of 750 barrels day.
Most of the wells in the Burkburnett
district are in the shallow sands. But
geologists have said that Burkburnett,
Brownwood and Ranger are all on the
same general structure and this has en-
couraged operators to go after the
deeper sands, with most profitable re-
suits. One of last week. s completions in
this district, the Gulf Production COM
pany's No. Hiserman, half mile west
of production, came in 20O-barrel well
at 1855 feet.

ANOTHER INTRIGUE
 MAY BE SHOWN UP
Republican A. p. Leased WIre1

NEW YORK, March 1S-Last weeks public inquiry having indicated that certain American firms played a part Tn Germany's machinations intended to secure for her post bellum dominance of the worlds wool markets. Deputv State Attorney General Becker today said investigation is to, be continued to determine the connection of Hugo Schmidt, formerly the representative here of the Deutsche Bank, and his as- soclates with other schemes to evade American and British embargoes dur ing the early days of the war.
 The investigation, an aftermath of the seizure of Schmidt's papers during the prosecution of the Bolo Pasha case, has given reason for the belief that firms in European neutral countries notably Norway and Sweden, acted as dummies" by allowing their names to be used as consignees for shipments really intended for German consump- tion. MT. Becker stated.
 Developments during the progress of this inquiry. he added, might ex- protection of cargoes ostensibly for neutral trades prior to the entry of the United States into the war.
 Transcripts of the records of last weeks inquiry were being prepared to- day for the information of officials of the war trade board and of the depart ment of justice. Where basis for such action is found it is expected the trad ing licenses of American firms which are deemed to have violated their agreements with the government by acting as agents for German interests will be revoked by the war trade board.

TRENCH FEVER DUE
 ID L|CE, IS REPORT
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

PARIS, March 17.-In announcing that it has been definitely determined that the disease called trench fever is transmitted by lice, the American Red Cross research committee sets forth some facts regarding the disease re- vealed by the experiments in which 6S Americans all soldiers from the New England states, voluntarily inocculated, acted as subjects.
 These facts are formulated thus:
 "The disease is hitherto unknown ,orm of fever; it is transmitted through the bites of body lice to human be- ings: the injecting agent is in the blood. occurring most abundantly in the first As hours after infection; the injecting agent is held back in bac- terial filters; the disease, although called trench fever, may be transmitted by lice brought from countries where no trenches ever existed, as subjects bitten by lice matched from eggs brought from England developed the same symptoms as those bitten by lice from the trenches.
 "The fever has been responsible for great loss of man power at the front, and the discovery of it's cause is re- garded as an incalculable value to all the allied armies as preventive meas- ures may now be applied as in the case of the mosquito after that insect had been proved a carrier of yellow fever germs. The volunteers infected with the disease suffered, as all men who have the trench fever but not single one among them complained.
 "One cannot speak too highly of these volunteers member of the research committee said today.

FINISHED MYSTERY
 FORBIDDEN ISSUE
raepubIlean A. P. Leased wirel


 WASHINGTON March 1s.-Because "The Finished Mystery a Bible study text book. described patriotism as "a certain delusion' and "a narrow minded hatred of other peoples" and war as "a work of satan," distribution of the book was forbidden today by the de- partment of justice. acting under the espionage act
 Thousands of copies of the book have been seized in many states, but it was not until today that the depart ment decided to prohibit its distribu- tion. District attorneys were notified to prosecute any dealers or other per- sons selling or offering the book for sale or for distribution.
 The book purports to be the post homous work of the late Pastor Charles Tzae Russell and was published in Brooklyn by the Peoples Pulpit asso- citation, with which are affiliated the International Bible Students associa tion. and the Watchtower Tract and Bible association. It was compiled by Clayton J. Woodwork of Scranton. Pa, who has been arrested on a charge of seditious writings. He is alleged to have prepared the book since the war started and to have inserted deroga- tory references to Americas cause in the war.
 The department of justice explained that 1t would not have taken action against the book if it had been written before the war, or if all the material had really been that of Pastor Russell, who died in 1916 It is understood the publishers have agreed after consulta- ton with postoffice department of ficials to eliminate the objectionable passages. Some time ago the book was barred from the mails by Canadian authorities.

Special to The Republican,


 PRESCOTT. Ariz.. Mar. 1s.-The in terest that is being manifested in the exploration of the Chino Valley of Yavapai county for oil was clearly shown today by the large number of Prescott and Phoenix people who wis., tied the field operations and in- spected equipment and property of the United Chino Oil and Refining company, which has recently started operations.
 Among those who came up from Phoenix for a look at the prospective oil field were A. A. Betts and A. c. Cole, members of the Arizona Cor poration commission; Sam w.

MILWAUKEE, March 1S.-A last appeal was made tonight by candidates of all parties seeking nominations for United States senator at tomorrow's primary election. The successful ones will go before the people of Wisconsin on April 2, when a successor will be chosen to fill the unexpired term of the late Senator Paul O.

Berger, upon whom rests a federal indictment charging him with obstructing the draft, has no opposition.
 Joseph E. Davies, former federal trade commissioner and Dr. Charles Mccarthy, state legislative librarian, are seeking the nomination on the democratic ticket on strong loyalty platforms while Congressman Irvine L. Lenroot of Superior, also with a loyalty slogan, is opposed by James Thompson, L. A. Crosse, looked upon as the La Toilette candidate and whom the latter has endorsed. will strive for the republican nomination.
 Davies is credited with having the democratic organization back of him. Both Davies and Mccarthy have stood strongly behind President Wilson in the preliminary campaign and both ex- press confidence in winning the nom- ination.
 Lenroot also has indorsed the gov- ernments war aims.
 The betting in Milwaukee favors Davies and Lenroot so far as the primary is concerned.

ROADSIDE MARKET
 TO AID MOTORISTS
(Boston Globe)

Massachusetts farmers. of late years, have found that they can dispose of lot of their garden truck and fruit right at their own doors, and this may ex- plain, to a large extent, why many farmers don't go to the big cities and towns to dispose of their crops. as they used to. before the discovery that they could sell their vegetables and fruits at home.
 Motorists are the best customers. In the first place they have the money, and again they are enabled to travel about and along the country roads by the farms. many of which are a long way from the railroad stations and main thoroughfares. They want the best and the freshest vegetables, eggs, chickens, fruit, etc, saised by the farmers. They pay cash and seldom question the price, so long as the goods are of the quality desired.
 All over the state, in fact all over New England, the custom of setting up shop in front of the farm house near the roadside has grown until now it Is one of the pleasant and profitable features of farm life. Some farmers have gone to the expense of building tables and long shelves on which to display their fruits and vegetables to the best advantage. Many of them have awnings to protect the goods from the suns rays, while others show them under their favorite shade tree near the road.
