PRUDENT LIQUOR HOARDERS

Underwriters Puzzled by Calls for Policies Secreted Stocks

NEW YORK.-In these days of as
siduous preparation against the time
when the country climbs on the water
wagon, and in which more or less
sly collection of the stuff is going on
in locations where it can easily be
reached, such as cellars and ware
houses and closets and attics and
other recesses not exposed to the
rude glare of the passing throng, it
has occurred to some of the long
headed boys doing the gathering that
it might not do a bit of harm to kind
of crack a bit of insurance on what
ever it is they have been successful in
gathering against the fateful day.
SO from here and there and yon-
der, from The Bronx and White
Plains and Hoboken and Long Island
and way stations too numerous to
mention, have come calls on the in
surance companies for some sort of
guarantee that fire will not destroy
or moth corrupt the liquor that is
presumed to go out of existence on
July 1. The insurance companies be-
ing of course hot after the honest
dollar and liquor being at this exact
moment a law abiding citizen they
are anxious to get the business, for
1t is lucrative one. But when each

of the collectors has asked the agent
to please write insurance for his lit
tie collection for the year which will
follow July /, then the insurance
man has been forced to say plainly
that he is stumped and he will be
burned if he knows what to do.
Liquor, the underwriters aver, be-
comes contraband by law after July
l. Saloon keepers cannot sell the
stock they have on hand at that time.
Distillers may be able to dispose of
their stocks in foreign countries, but
it is pointed out that American whis-
ky is not a popular beverage in other
lands and it may be impossible to sell
large stocks without loss.
So underwriters are going to meet
in Philadelphia today at the Bellevue
Stratford to dispose of this as we'll as
other perplexing problems which have
recently come up. c. A. Ludlum,
vice president of the Home Insurance
Company, is in charge of the commit
tee having the liquor underwriting
under consideration, but says the
committee has reached no decision on
the problem and it probably will take
long discussion to thresh it out.
1t has been suggested that from
this time on liquor be written under
form providing that in case of loss
the insurance company shall be liza

est from. the time the liquor was pro-
duced or came into the hands of the

FARMERS PLANNING
AGRICULTURAL TEMPLE
NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS MAY
BE ESTABLISHED IN WASH
INGTON. UNITY is AIM.

Three million American farmers,
bound together through the Nation
al Board of Farm organizations, have
launched q campaign to establish a
national headquarters in Washington
similar to that maintained by the
American Federation of Labor and
the National Chamber Of Commerce.
The campaign calls for the erection
and endowment of a temple of agri-
culture in Washington to provide
closer union of existing farm organ
izations and to furnish a focal point
whence the demands and desires of
the farmers of the nation may be
effectively transmitted to congress
and the executive department.
According to ]. A. McSparren, of
Furniss, Pa, master of the Pennsyl-
vania State Grange, who has been
elected treasurer Of the building COM
mittee, the structure will cost ST.
| 100000, which will be collected by
popular subscription. In addition to
the building fund every state which
wishes to provide permanent quarters
for a state agent in Washington will
be asked to raise $150,OO0 which
would be used as an endowment.
Farmers Getting Together.
Charles A. Lyman, secretary of the
national board, has issued state
ment in which he declared that the
! headquarters, when established, will
be entirely non-partisan, non-politi-
cal and non-sectarian in its attitude
toward public affairs. Mr.. Lyman OBJ
served that it has frequently been
charged that the farmers of America
lack unity and solidarity. He declares
farmers now are awake to the fact
that they must be practical men,
ready to protect their interests and
to aid in formulating the policies of
the government in matters relating
to the industry of agriculture, and
also in the policies that will protect
every citizen engaged in a legitimate
occupation.

TYPHOID RAVACED
U. S. ARMY OVERSEAS
GROSS NEGLIGENCE CHARGED
AGAINST SURGEONS BY
THEIR CHIEF.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Charges
of gross carelessness and negligence
in preventing and controlling the
spread of typhoid and paratyphoid
fevers in the army are made against
many medical officers serving with
the forces overseas in a circular pub
lished by the chief surgeon of the
American eXpeditionary forces and
made public by the public health SER
vice in connection with warning
that vaccination does not give COM
plete immunity from typhoid.
The chief surgeon cited many in
stances where epidemics prevailed
among troops, especially during the
last offensive on the western front,
and points out that the occurrence
and distribution of diseases was con-
stantly brought to the notice of the
medical officers through weekly bull
letins.
1T would appear" the circular
continues, that many officers utter
ly failed to grasp the significance of
these reports and warnings, a fact
which may be due to a false sense
of security under the popular belief
that vaccination against typhoid and
paratyphoid gives complete immuni-
ty even in the midst of gross insani-
tary conditions. 1t is also quite evil
dent that some medical officers are
grossly careless and neglectful of
their duties and responsibilities as
medical officers and sanitarians."
In brief review of the occurrence
of typhoid and paratyphoid fevers in
the expeditionary forces the chief
surgeon says that until June, 1918,
few cases occurred, and the rate was
within the expected limits. From
then on, however, it appears the dis
ease spread through many units.
During the Chateau-Thierry often
sive, the circular discloses, approx
mately IS per cent. of the troops en-
gagged were afflicted with diarrheal
diseases, such as simple diarrhea, ba-
cillar dysentery, typhoid and paraty-
phoid
"The high incidence of intestinal
diseases in this sector" the chief sur
geon says, " was due to entire dis
regard of the rules Of sanitation"
Dysentery and typhoid and paraty-
phoid feverS were demonstrated to
have prevailed to some extent after
the st. Mihiel offensive, but the cpl
denies of pneumonia and influenza
prevailing at that time overshadowed
all other medical admissions.
Following the offensive in the Ar
come typhoid and paratyphoid be-
gan to be reported from virtually
all divisions engaged, and, according
to the chief surgeon it was quite evil
dent the initial cases were due in
large part to the drinking of infect
ed water
Many Cases in Argonne.
In some instances either the initial
exposure was not great, the organiza-
tons were under good discipline or
the medical officers had a proper con-
ception of their duties and response
bilities, and but few cases occurred.
In other instances the contrary was
true and many cases occurred.
In July, 1918, replacement unit,
consisting of PAS men from Camp
Cody, N. NJ, reached England with
typhoid prevailing extensively; nine
tv-eight men, or 1915 per cent. had
the disease, and the death rate was

GOES CLOSE CALL
Cinderella Nearly Injures Owner and Then Goes Out and Wins Colorado Stakes at Jamaica Track.

- New York, May 21.-+William R. Coe experienced two sensations as wide apart as extremes can be at the Jamaica track yesterday.
 For one notwithstanding moment he faced a. serious disfiguring injury when his Ally Cinderella, just after being saddled in the paddock for the Col orado Stakes of $5,000, suddenly wheeled, lashed out with her heels and missed his cheek by a scant two inches.
 If that blow had landed, MT. Coe would have been minus any sensation for some time. It might have killed him. It would have sent him to the hospital in any case. AS it was. it gave him and those who saw the mar row escape a fright that cost at least one heart beat.
 Ten minutes later the other sensa- ton came, but this time it was one of elation, as Cinderella, the comedy and speedy daughter of Celt-Toots, gal loped to easy victory in the rich stalk after breaking on her toes and mak- ing the pace to suit herself.

After holding the Hillies runless and hitless for the first five frames, Smith blew up and the Berkshire outfit scored runs enough in the sixth and eighth to even up matters. Tn spite of the fact that it took a dozen rounds to settle the battle the contest was ragged throughout. Manager Jack O'Hara sent Stuebing to the hill to tame the Murphy clan, and with the article of ball that his team played he was lucky to get away with the decision.

English Sportsman Declines Riclxard s Offer to Referee Willard Championship Bout at Toledo.

New York, May 21.--The refusal of Lord Lonsdale, president Of the Na- tional Sporting club of London, to act as a judge at the bout between Will lard and Dempsey at Toledo, July 4, has temporarily upset a pretentious plan in connection with the cham pionship contest. At the suggestion of the army, navy and civilian board of boxing control. Rickard sent invita- tions to Lord Lonsdalc and Major J. Drexel Riddle of Philadelphia to act as judges, the intention being to have them sit on opposite sides of the ring. the same as judges in an amateur bout. The referee as selected by Dempsey and Willard would have gone into the ring. but in the event of a decision on points being necessary the referee would have been called upon to act only in case the judges disagreed.
 It is not improbable that some other prominent man may be induced to take the place declined by Lord Lons- dale and act in conjunction with Ma jor Riddle
 In a cablegram announcing his ina hility to accept the proffered position Earl Lonsdale said that numerous en- agreements precluded his leaving Eng land at present. He said he regard ed the invitation as a 'charming sample of mutual friendship and understand = ing between the two countries.
