If it ever occurred to Robert H

tain more than IS per cent of alcohol

before United States Commissioner
Hitchcock this morning on charge of
violation of the Volstead act.
Heretofore Ruben has had hard luck
in court, jury quite refusing to be-
lieve his protestations that the ham
he sold to MIR. Manner really was worth
$25 and the Appellate Division con-
firmed the jury and assigned further
costs on Ruben.
Leroy W. Ross, United States Dis
trict Attorney for the Brooklyn dis
trict, yesterday forwarded to Wash
ington his report on the enforcement

DIR. Copeland Opens
War ON Smallpox
And Other Plaques
With S Cases in City, He An.
nounces Free Vaccination
Campaign; Says European
Diseases Menace Country

An educational and preventive war
against smallpox, cholera, typhus and
the bubonic plague, at present prev
aent in Europe, is to be waged here,
Health Commissioner Royal s. Cope
land announced yesterday. He has
been granted an appropriation Of
$4,000 with which to carry out the
program.
Smallpox" DR.. Copeland said yes
terday, in discussing the danger of
the invasion Of this country by dis
ease from Europe, "is more than i'm
minent. 1t is here. There are five
cases of smallpox in New York City
to-day and since the number Of cases
that disease averages in this city is
twenty year, You can see that five at
one time is more than we ordinarily
look for.
"The Health Department is launch
ing city-wide campaign to educate
the public regarding the prevention
of smallpox. In addition to the edu-
cational methods we will arrange
for free vaccination Of all persons
who cannot afford to pay for it. A
staff of doctors and nurses will be
put on this work, which will be done
largely through the public schools.
Every person who has not been
vaccnated in the last five or six years
should have it done at once. We
have every evidence to prove that
vaccination not only prevents death
from smallpox in most cases, but also
that vaccinated person is practical
ly immune from the disease"
Part Of the fund is to be used in
dock rat, as the heas which carry the
bubonic plague germs live only on the
bodies OF these rodents. Cholera is
carried through food and drink, the
Commissioner said, and close inspec-
ton will be made of all soda foun-
tains and restaurants to prevent the
spread Of that disease. A particularly
close watch will be kept on the water
supply.
Typhus is conveyed from one per-
son to another by vermin and the de
partment proposes to prevent it's
spreading by keeping close watch
on all immigrants arriving from
Europe.
Rigid precautions are to be taken by
immigra ton officials at Ellis Island to
prevent the spread of leprosy, after
the discovery of a third case Thursday
The latest patient has been removed to
remote part of the island. The vic
tim is said to be woman, whose name
and native country are being withheld

Miners Shot From Ambush,
Two Wounded in Battle Across
Borders of Two States

WILLIAMSON, w. Va, July %
Two miners were wounded to- day when
the Portsmouth Solvay Coal Company's
mine at Freedom was attacked by per-
sons hidden in the hills on the West
Virginia and Kentucky sides of Tug
River. A detachment of the state con-
stabulary with blood hounds, were
Immediately sent from Williamson to
the scene of the shooting.
According to stories reaching here
from Freedom, the men were handling
coal from the mouth of the mine,
which is on the Kentucky side of the
river, to the railroad tracks in West
Virginia, when the firing began.
Guards stationed at the mine are
said to have returned the fire, but the
attacking parties were not driven off
until two of the workmen had been
wounded, one seriously. 1t was esti-
mated by men at the mine that fully
1000 shots were fired.

to District Attorney Maloy

Grover A. Whalen, Commissioner of
Plant and Structures and supervisor
of the municipal bus lines, wrote yes
terday to District Attorney Joseph
Maloy Of Richmond County that New
York newspapers had published "false
and damaging reports" of traffic condi-
tlons on Staten Island and asking his
assistance in protecting Staten Island
against a repetition of this form OF
calumny"
Commissioner Whalen inclosed clip
pings from half dozen newspapers
IN his letter and spoke particularly of
Mrs. Julia Lula, Of 1912 Bay Street,
Rosebank, S. L. whose death from heart
disease in Staten Island Hospital was
SAID in tho clippings to have resulted
from the Jostling of the woman by
crowds at the Staten Island ferry July

A police report on Mrs Lulas death,
signed by Captain William F. Peabody.

Island, was incloscd by Mr.. Whalen.
Captain Peabody, in his report, said
that Mrs. Lula died at her home from
acute indigestion and was not in the
crowd at the Staten Island ferry
July II.
The same spirit of reckless men
dacity,' wrote Commissioner Whalen
has been shown in each and every
report of accidents to buses on Staten
Island. | believe you will have the full
cooperation of the editors of these
newspapers in placing the RESPONSE
blllty on the persons who supplied
these .nendacious stories"
Commissioner Whalen, in his letter
gave quotations from The Sun and
New York Herald The New York
Tribune, The World" The Daily
Advance" Tho Staten Island Tran
script" and "The News" and "lnde-
pendent"
Reporters for New York newspapers
have encountered shc utmost difficulty
in obtaining from the police details of
accidents in which any of Commits
sioner Whalon's buses were con-
cerned, although full reports of other
traffic accidents are readily given out
at police stations.

The Community Theater company
gave a creditabe performance of Ros-
tand's brilliantly poetic comedy satire
at the Community Theater, in Wash
ington Square, last night.
What the theater lacks in facilities
the actors made up in ability and
earnestness of effort.
Mr.. Granville, as Percinet, played his
part with grace and assurance, while
Miss Vivian, as Sylvette, gave salts
factory jmpersonation of a schoolgirl
Juliet, which, apparently Rostand in
tended Sylvette to be.
Mr.. James, as Bergamin, and Mr.. Pod
more, as Pasquin, the parents Of the
two young lovers, did their parts ex-
tremely we'll, except that there was just
a slight touch Of stiffness in the man
ner which Mr.. James employed in
speaking his lines. This slight defect
at times created the impression that
Bergamin was an Irishman or an Eng
the whole, however, both Mr.. James
and Mr.. Podmore interpreted fairly
we'll Rostand's characters of the two
French country burghers enjoying the
spectacle of their children's play at ro-
nance
Mr. Short, as Straforel, was not as
strong as seemed necessary in the sec
ond act, when he portrayed the part of
the bravo hired by the two parents to
abduct Sylvette and thus stir Percinet
to heroic defense of his sweetheart. In
the third act, as the Marquis, however
Mr.. Short made, up considerably for
this defect.
The audience was appreciative and
showed its approval by generous ap-
plause.
The performance will be repeated
next Friday night

He went on: CAS- to the vital issue

from Ohio pours forth a sea of words
