Hospital Orderlies Ask
Closed Shop, Pay Raise
Officials to Consider Demands.
but Predict Unanimous
Refusal

Male hospital attendants. who re-
Gently organized a union, chartered by
the American Federation Of Labor, yes
terday presented demands to every
hospital in New York. They insist on
closed shop, a twelve-hour day, rec
ognition Of the union, minimum wage
Of $85 q month, with board and lodging,
or $100 with board only; one day a
week off and suitable sleeping quarters.
Hospital superintendents interviewed
agreed in the belief that neither the
closed shop nor the pay increase would
be granted. A conference Of hospital
officials will take place this week to
consider the demands. No threat Of
strike has been made, but the union
has requested an answer in writing.
DR.. George II. Young, superintendent
Of the Presbyterian Hospital, said the
New York hospitals never would grant
the. demands: He declared the clause
which would make hospitals "closed
shops" would enable the attendants at
any time to cripple every hospital.
eve now pay these men from $50
to $50 month and give them board
and lodging" he continued, "and we
could not afford to pay them any moro.
| feel sure that these demands will
be rejected unanimously"
DR.. George M. Glover, superintendent
Of St. Luke's Hospital, said If the de-
mands should be granted it would
be impossible to train attendants, as
the hospitals would be prevented from
hiring men who had no previous ex-
perience

U. S. Liquors, Japanese
Opium, Menacing China
American Church W omen Urged
to Send More Missionaries
to Combat New Traffic

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.--Urginx that
many American missionaries be sent
to spread and maintain the spirit cf
Christianity in China, DR.. Mary Stone,
head of the largest hospital in the
Orient, to-day told the National Con-
ference Of Church Women that the
Chinese were threatened with corrup-
tion by opium smuggled from Japan
and liquor produced by American
brewers.
Japan" she declared, "is using the
newly acquired province Of Shantung
as a door through which to ship large
quantities of opium and other drugs
into China. In an incredibly short
time, China wiped out the opium curse,
and we built $14,O00,000 bonfire of
the pipes and the drug. But Japan
Is smuggling in opium in large guam
titles and the traffic last year alone
amounted to more than $4,000, ,O0O."
American liquor interests driven
from the United States by national
prohibition, DR.. Stone added, "are at
tempting to establish breweries and
distilleries in China, because it rep
resents virtually new field" The
Chinese are not a drinking people, she
said, but they are susceptible to any
thing newly introduced from America.

Charges Petition Forgery
Hirshfield Sees Fraud i'm Move
to Paw DIR. DAVIS Aids

David Hirshheld, Commissioner Of
Accounts, reported yesterday many Of
the signatures on petition asking the
city to pay for the services Of volun
teers who helped DR.. Jonathan Day,
then Commissioner Of Markets, in the
sale of army food were not authentic.
Most Of the persons examined by
him, Commissioner Hirshfield said,
told him they had given their services
without expecting pay. One man wrote
that the petition had been brought to
his home by man who said he repre-
sented the Department of Markets. He
did not sign the petition, he said,
although his name appeared among
the signatures.
The petition was presented to the
Mayor several weeks ago by three per-
sons, one of whom said she was Emma
Rozells 1t asked that payment to the
volunteers be made from the $30o0
profit derived from the sales. At the
time the fund already had been turned
over to a committee to be used for

Saws u. S. Grain
Official Used His
Place to Profit
Federal Grand Jury Charges
Vice-President for North
west manipulated Com
panies He Once Owned''

SPOKANE. WASH, Feb. 7.-Belief
that Max H. Houser, Of Portland. Ors.,
"by reason Of his connection with the
United States Grain Corporation has
been able to manipulate and operate"
grain companies, which he formerly
owned "for an immense profit to him
self and associates" Is expressed in
the findings Of United States grand
jury returned here to-day.
Houser is president Of the
United States Grain Corporation for
the Northwest.
The grand jury report names the
Pacific Grain Company, the Pacific
Coast Elevator Company and the Puget
Sound Warehouse & Elevator Company,
Houser, although it is declared "he
made some kind of transfer of his
interests in these concerns" when he
became vice-president Of the United
States Grain Corporation. Offices Of
all three concerns, the report said, are
located in a building owned by Houser.
Grain companies Of the Northwest,
the grand jury report says, threaten
to close their mills and ship the grain
to Eastern points in case action Is
taken to force them to sell their hold
ing at the prices paid by them plus
reasonable carrying charges. The re-
port continues, "To frustrate any con-
certed plan Of evasion, we would urge
the Department of Justice to take
simultaneous action in all wheat and
-four centers of the United States"
The further recommendation is MADE
that the President fax the selling price
on all wheat now held in the United
States at the price paid the farmers
plus q reasonable carrying charge,
which provision, however, shall not
apply to the producer.
vide fund of s150ooO, 900 for Euro
pean relief, the grand jury declares
that the plan is intended to provide
for the purchase Of wheat "now owned
largely by spectators and in some
cases by interests directly and indi-
rectly connected with some Of the
officers of the United State Grain
Corporation.

London Press Gives More AT.
tention to Exchange Than
to War Criminals

LONDON, Feb. 7.--More editorial at
tention is attracted to the exchange
situation than to the demand for the
extradition Of Germans accused Of war
crimes. Several newspapers discuss
the situation. especially in reference
to cotton, the suspension Of imports
Of which is declared in some quarters
to be IAN excellent example, which it
may be hoped other traders will fol-
low
Elsewhere 1t is regarded as a danger
Gus remedy and fear is expressed that
its cost eventually will fall on British
consumers. Some newspapers call
upon the public to buy as few Amer
lean goods as possible, remarking there
are many things imported from Amer
lea that could be easily dispensed with
temporarily, it being pointed out that
whiskey canned fruits, vegetables,
chocolates, golf balls and motor cars
fall in this category. They have figured
conspicuously in recent transatlantic
imports.
The doctrine calling for increased
production and universal economy is
again vehemently preached, journals
reiterating the assertion that public
and private expenditures continue on
a scale. which, if continued. must lead
to financial disaster.

Mental keenness
To Govern Rating
In High Schools
Intelligence Tests Adopted
for Grouping Classes;
Teachers Welcome Change
for Increased Efficiency

Students in the New York City High
Schools are to be grouped hereafter ac-
cording to their native intelligence
rather than by haphazard systems.
Intelligence tests, similar to those
devised for the army and also used in
Columbia and other universities last
fall, have been applied to the incoming
freshman classes in most Of the city
high schools during the past week, and
the new classes will be arranged ac-
cording to the results Of these tests.
No child, however, will be embar-
rassed at the outset of his high school
course by being branded member of
the Glow intelligence class" If there
is "dunce class" the principal of the
school will keep the secret.
The pupils never will know their
rating in the tests, and neither will the
teachers to whom they are assigned.
II the teacher arrives at the conclu-
sion that she has a bright class or a
dull class that cannot be prevented.
The experiment with the Otis test for
general intelligence first was applied
in the Manual Training High School in
Brooklyn last September, and was so
successful that it is now being ex-
tended to nearly all the high schools
According to Horace M. Snyder, prin-
cipal of the Manual Training High
School, the grouping Of pupils accord
ing to their mental keenness helps
both pupils and teachers and is step
toward reducing the number of pupils
who leave school because they cannot
keep up with their classes.
Zone reason why so many children
uo ~
ing their first six months in high school
is that they find themselves in a class
whose pace is set by few bright ones,
with whom they cannot keep up" he
said. "Under a system which groups
children Of about the same natural
ability in the same class, even though
they are by no means brilliant, they
cnn all 90 the same amount of work.
THE Otis test measures mental
quickness and native common sense
through q series Of questions which
have nothing to do with book knowl-
edge. We take the thirty-five bows
having the highest marks in this ex-
animation and put them in one class,
the next thirty-five in another class,
and so on. We do not expect to effect
any material change in our curriculum.
but the teachers will be encouraged to
work each class to its utmost ability.
The bright classes expend their sur
plus ability in additional practice, in
original problems, sight translations
and more extensive reading"
Glasses have been grouped in the
past chiefly according to the grammar
school s.; from which the pupils came.
This arrangement was far more pleas
ing to the pupils than the new arrange
ment,, which will divide old school
trends. The fearsome experience of
venturlng into a great city high school
will now have to be met by many a
poor little smart child without the
i.riendiy comradeship of her stupid
lrlenos. However, the teachers well
come the new arrangement

Special Dispatch to The Tribune

thoritative sources at the Cit. Hall to-
day that Mayor Peters would not off,
cially receive Eamon De Valera,
"President Of the Irish Republc'," on
the occasion of his visit to Boston,

senting on his travels has been recog-
nized by the United States.
Mayor Peters was out of the city
when De Valera was here a few weeks
ago. The committee in charge of plans
for the reception of De Valera have

Pocket, Throws Himself i'm
Path of Elevated Train

While being taken to the Morrisania
court yesterday to be given a hearing
on a pocket-picking charge, Nathan
Palestine, of 1898 Stebbins Avenue. the
Bronx, made break for liberty. He
leaped onto the tracks of the elevated
subway structure at the 161st Street
station and started across. When he
found his passage blocked by long
line of cars stored on the track. he
placed his neck on the track in front
Of an approaching northbound train
and was killed.
Palestine was in the custody of Pa
trolman David A. Owens, of the West
135th Street station.
The motorman Of the train, James
White, of 2247 Webster Avenue, the
Bronx, said that he tried to stop the
train, but that it was too late to pre-
vent the front wheels passing over the
head and neck of Palestine.
Palestine had been arrested Friday
afternoon at the Mott Avenue subway
station, on the complaint of Mary Han
nigan, school teacher, of 151 West
22Sth Street.

Special Dispatch to The TribM,,


DETROIT, Feb. 1.-THE will Of John
Dodge, millionaire automobile manu-
facturer, who died in New York few
weeks ago, was filed to-day in Probate

tirety to his widow, Mrs. Mathilda R..

Chittick $1,000.
Mr.. Dodge's estate, it is thought, will
exceed s25,0O0,O00.
Attorney Bloomer, who drew the
will, said failure to leave anything to

Dodge's belief that such money as he
could give and such things that he
could do for the public should be done

ity where he lived for more than 35

and generous and always ready and
willing to help anyone in distress. He
