Cope1andW ants Camp Dix
" For a Delousing Plant
Would Have All Persons Com
ing From Europe Disinfected
to Protect Citv

DR.. Royal S. Copeland, Health Com
missioner, announced yesterday that
he hoped to obtain the cooperation Of
army authorities in establishing de-
lousing plant near this port through
which ali travellers returning from
Europe would have to pass.
The incursion Of typhus into this
city, which followed the arrival of the
steamship Presidente Wilson last week,
showed the necessity of stern meas
ures, Commissioner Copeland said, if
New York was to be protected from
the plaques of Europe.
Two of four passengers from the
vessel who were taken to Long Island
College Hospital were found to be
suffering from typhus, although when
the passengers were landed it was said
that all four had pneumonia. In the
meantime nearly 400 first and second
cabin passengers had left the ship. The
vessel is now in Quarantine with its
1,051 steerage passengers.
DR.. Copeland wrote yesterday to
Surgeon General Hugh S. Cummings, of
the Public Health Service, suggesting
that Camp Dix or some other convent
ent cantonment be utilized for delous-
ing and disinfecting all arrivals from
Europe and their belongings. He has
asked steamship men, of whom fifteen
conferred with him, and Frederick A.
Wallis, Commissioner of immigration,
yesterday to cooperate.

Passenger Planes Carry
lis, l63 i'm u. S. i'm Year
Figures Are Incomplete and
Reports Show No Fatality
in This Service

Passenger airplanes carried 115,163
persons 3,136,550 miles in this country
last year, according to a report issued
by the Manufacturers Aircraft Associ-
alton yesterday. These figures are
based only upon the 425 airplanes that
were reported to the association. No
life was lost. The statement says:
an tho absence of any Federal reg
istration, air laws and government
methods for tabulating the ownership
and performance Of aircraft, it has
been found difficult to trace the actual
total number. The totals are based on
questionnaires distributed by the asso-
citation, but due to the itinerant nature
of much of the flying it has been diff
ficult to trace and record more than
half Of these. This half--eighty-
seven companies or individual als-are
located permanently in all parts of the
United States.
much of the mileage was made on
short flights Of ten to fifteen miles, for
which an average fee of $3.50 was
charged. An increasing demand for
aerial transportation between cities has
been noted, the average charge for this
service being 65 cents mile. On prac-
tically all intercity fights baggage or
freight was carried, the quantity linn
tied only by the capacity of the craft.
This business aggregated 1880
pounds.
"There we're accidents and forced
landings, but, according to the signed
reports from the eighty-seve COM
panies, not a single life was lost"

Pershing Won't Answer
Critics of the Army

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Critics of
the American expeditionary force "have
been completely answered in each in
stance" by competent witnesses and it
seems unnecessary further to consume
the time" of war investigating commit
tees, General Pershing wrote to Repre-
sentative Flood, Democrat, Virginia, to-
day, declining an invitation to appear
General Pershing's letter said:
Referring to our conversation on
Saturday last regarding my appearing
before the subcommittee of which you
are member, | do not believe it would
serve any useful purpose. Having fol
lowed to some extent the proceedings
of this committee, I am of the opinion
that the charges and allegations so far
rs they relate to the affairs of the
American expeditionary forces, have
been completely answered in each in.
stance by the testimony of witnesses
with an intimate knowledge of the
facts.
Moreover the achievements of the
American expeditionary forces speak
for themselves. The record of oul
armies overseas Is so we'll known
throughout the country that it woulo
seem unnecessary further to consume
the time of the committee.
"Of course | am entirely willing tt
appear if so desired, but | can see nc
reason why I should appear at this
time to answer allegations that have
already been refuted."

ACTION of Wilson
| Held to Vindicate
Railroad Workers
Jewell Asserts Refusal of
President TO Intervene i'm
Wage Controversy Puts
Issue Up TO Labor Board

The refusal Of President Wilson to
intervene in the controversy over rail-
road wages was a complete vindication
of the stand assumed by the railroad
employees, B. M. JEWELL president Of
the railroad employees department of
the American Federation of Labor, de-
clared here yesterday. The decision of
the President, he said, placed the juris-
diction of wages and working con-
ditions under the Railway Labor Board
while financial matters are retained
for adjudication by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
This decision was the result Of
claims advanced by railroad executives
that the carriers must adjust wages
or face bankruptcy. The President re-
fused to submit the matter to Con-
press. JEWELS statement said in part:
"The telegram of the President is a
complete vindication of our position.
am delighted at what he has said. He
has made it perfectly clear that the
labor board should contine It's 1urls-
diction strictly to controversies as TO
wages and working conditions. Mr..
Atterbury, therefore, made serious
mistake in applying to the labor board
for financial assistance. We did not
consider the facts warranted his pre-
diction that the transportation indus
try was threatened with immediate
bankruptcy. Evidently the President
did not think so either. We did not
feel that q financial disaster was
impending.
"Mr, Atterbury made a serious mis-
take by his ill-considered action and
has placed the railroad executives IN
an embarrassing position. 1t is to be
deplored that the public was tenn
porarily deceived and that the orderly
proceedings of the Labor Board were
temporarily interrupted by his mis-
guided activities"
