when applied in the fall OF the year,

Influenza Aftermath
Warning Is Issued
Charities Aid Association Saws
tuberculosis Danger Is
Grave Menace

Danger of tuberculosis as an after
effect of the influenza is warned against
by the State Charities Aid Association
IN statement issued yesterday from
its headquarters, los East Twenty sec
ond Street. The statement says:
The menace of tuberculosis as an
after effect of influenza is being called
to the attention of local anti-tubercu-
losis organizations throughout New
York State by the tuberculosis com
mittee of the State Charities Aid AS
ISOLATION. The state organization
points out that the duty of the local
organization is to notify the people
THAT this danger exists and to provide
expert medical examinations to those
who without the local organization 5
help cannot have them
competent medical authorities are
watching with concern the harm that
an attack of influenza may do to pre-
viously existing tuberculosis. which
may be totally or partly inactive. as
we'll as its development in persons pre-
vlously believed to be free from it.
Every person who has been i'll with
influenza and who has failed to make a
reasonably prompt and complete re-
cSovery is urged to take proper precau-
tions on the appearance of symptoms
which are so closely related to those of
tuberculosis and which often require
repeated examinations by expert phy
slclans in lung diseases to make the
dlstlnction between the two"

cltically without such as comes from a
single source in Manhattan. AS you
accepted such interference l cannot

Mr.. Jonas is still receiving letters
expressing confidence and support,
both from Manhattan and Brooklyn.
D. Irving Mead, vice president of the
National City Bank, wrote:

my admiration for you and the posi-
ton you have taken in regard to the
Victory Celebration Committee

with letters of approval, but l want

Charles w. Carman, of the Empire
State Bag Company, wrote: Permit
me to express my admiration of the
stand you have taken against this most
dangerous and disturbing element"

The meeting of the executive COM
mlttee, which will confer with Mr..
Riegelmann and Chairman Delaney to-
morrow, will be the first session held
since Mr.. Jonas announced his resie~
nation and declared his position
toward Hearst. Little constructive
work has been done since by the com
mlttee. owing TO the resignation of the
most powerful and influential mem
oers, the majority of whom have pub
lIcly declared their allegiance to Mr..
Jonas.
1t is believed that action taken at
the meeting tomorrow will cover onlv
the perfunctory appointment of a few
members. A strong group of former
members still awaits developments in
the disposal of the $4,000 fund. and
their intervention in the matter will
probably depend on Mr.. Riegelmann's
decision.

had not been advised whether Mr.
Riegelmann was in favor of the group

the project. Legal technicalities may
involve the expenditure of the $40, 900
now collected, as most of the money
was sent to the Victory Committee,
which is still operative, though con-
siderable amount was sent personally
to former Chairman Nathan S. Jonas.

Netc York Tribune
Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, Feb. s. - Reports
from New York of the attack being
made on Assistant Attorney General
Alfred L. Becker in connection with the
Baff murder cases have attracted much
interest here among those who watched
the sensational efforts of Senator James
A. Reed, of Missouri, to impeach Mr..
Becker in connection with the same
cases during the Senator's defence of
William Randolph Hearst A letter
from Senator Reed to Governor Smith
opened the present attack.
The attack on Becker here was the
high point in the Hearst defence before
the Overman propaganda investigating
committee. Senator Reed, who was not
a member of the subcommittee hearing
the testimony, secured permission by
senatorial courtesy" to examine
Mr.. Becker. For nearly four days a
verbal battle went on that packed the
big committee room to the doors.
The Hearst defence at no time made
any effort to put in a denial of most
Of the evidence which had come before
the committee, nor to explain certain
editorial utterances of the Hearst pa
pers to which the committees attention
hsd been drawn. 1t centred its whole
force on efforts to dscredit Mr.. Becker,
who had handled the Bolo-H Hearst case
in New York, and Philip NJ. Musica,
who had procured part of the depo-
sitions sent to France for use against
Bolo and Hearst.
Rebuked by Overnan
In the efforts to do this Senator Reed
went so far afield, in probing into the
Baif and other New York cases, that
Senator Overman, chairman of the com
mttee, finally expressed his opinion of
the proceeding.
1--WE have tried half dozen murder
cases here" he said in asking Senator
Reed to shorten the examination. 81
never saw such an examination since I
was born. 1t has nothing to do with
what we are proposing to investigate"
Mr.. Becker's defence of Musica and
his declara ton of faith in the detective
was one of the most dramatic incidents
of the long drawn hearings. He had
tred in vain to prevent the bringing in
OF Musicals record, and when this
failed he insisted, in spite of Senator

on the excess of prices instead of 20
per cent, as the House had it.
The result was that there was no
difference before the conferrees ex-
cept that of percentage, and there was
nothing to do but accept the lower
Senate rates. To get around this par
llamentary impass6 Mr.. Kitchin had
proposed to Senator Simmons, chair
man of the Finance Committee, that
after the passage of the bill a Joint
resolution should be introduced to re-
peal the whole section, and that would
be done.
Doubts Wisdom of Bill
In reviewing the work of the con-
ference and in defending its conclu-
sions Mr.. Kitchin said in part:
II have doubts as to the wisdom of
the reduction of the amount of the
revenues to be raised to $4,000 OOO, 900
this year and $4,000,000, next, but
the Finance Committee and the confer
rees worked to that end in accordance
with the recommendation of the Presi-
dent and the Secretary of the Treasury
after the termination of hostilities.
The expenditures fthe government
of the current fiscal year will not he
less than $19,oOO,00O, 1000, and | pre-
dlct' that they will be 100000 900, 900.
To meet them we have $1,000, OOO,OO0
from the Fourth Liberty Loan,
$1,000, 100000 from War Savings,
$4,000, 100000 from taxation and
$4,000, 100000 from the new loan. For
the following year the Treasury esti-
mate of expenditures is $4,000, 900 900,
but it will be nearer $10,0O0,0 900, 600, in
my opinion. Against them we have
provided for only $4,OOO,O0O, 900 of
revenues. The balance must come from
other bond issues, which will necessi-
tate the authorization of additional
bands, as the approaching loan will ex-
haust the present authorization of
