to Shelter in New York
~ Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Twenty-four
women and three children were among
the hundreds who awoke today in the
municipal lodging house to which the
homeless were driven by the bitter
cold.
City parks, areaways, cellars anG
wagons, which have served as places
of refuge were abandoned before the
bite of a northwest gale which car
ried the mercury to within nine de
grees OF zero. and made even well
clad folk shiver
1t was reported today that upwards
of 1900 persons spent the night IN the
municipal lodging house and the sal
walton Army settlement house.
Little relief from the cold wave was
promised for today, but the gale seem
ed to have spent its fury during the
night. Warmer temperatures We're
forecast for tomorrow when snow may
come to give the Christmas day Its
traditional setting of white.

PoEcewoman's Lot Not Happy

Mrs. Ellen O'Grady, deputy po-
lice commissioner of New York city,
has resigned, asserting she had been
hampered in her work and could not
remain in her place and retain her
self-respect. Her action followed at
tacks on the efficiency of the depart
mont made by several newspapers.
Mrs. O'Grady, who declared she had
thousand and one things to tell about
the police department later on, said in
her statement:
II have been told that my work
Is too strenuous looking after the
morals of girls in moving picture
houses and told to go slow When
my detectives went to enforce the law

the managers showed them receipts
stating that they had contributed to
the police hospital fund, and they had
been promised that no police action
would be taken against them"

Strange Malady
Sweeping Haiti

then, without warning, fall in faint
and gradually expire.
Though the grouping of Haitian ne
groes in prisons called Doctor Mann's
attention to the disease, he is reason
ably certain that it is not due to con-
flnement, as in some prisons the mall
ady is entirely absent. Before the ad-
vent Of Americans in Haiti the pris-
ons We're quagmires where prisoners
were thrown to subsist on food SNUG
gled in by relatives or starve. Today,
under American supervision, the pris-
ons are models Of cleanliness, but sani-
tation has not served to eradicate the
mysterious disease. Infection almost
has been eliminated by research as
the cause. Imprisonment possibly
aids the malady, but it is not entirely
responsible, as numerous natives who
never saw a prison succumb. Re-
search brought the possible cause to
the question Of faulty diet, especially
in prisons. On this question Doctor
Mann was noncommittal. AS he eS-
pressed it: "The evidence accumulated
up to the present date regarding diet
as factor is conflicting and uncon-
vincing. Diet may or may not be at
fault, and I am not prepared to ex-
press definite opinion on this SUBJ
ject."
Many Leads Developed.
DR.. Mann's researches have devel-
oped many leads, but when one theory
seems to have given the greatest en-
couragement it is destroyed.
Symptoms Of the disease would seem
to bring it nearer to beri-beri than any
other, and for the want of better
name Doctor Mann has called it
psuedo beri-beri.
On the theory that prison diet brings
about a greater manifestation during
incarceration of Haitians than else
where, the gendarmerie doctors, under
the direction Of Doctor Mann, have
conducted extensive dietary expert
ments. The reports show that diet
variation has produced no marked ben
efcial results either as curative
or preventive. This has destroyed a
theory that war edema, prevalent in
prison camps, due to faulty nourish-
ment, has relation to psuedo beri-
beri.
AS rice, the cause Of true beri-beri,
is not used to any degree in the prison
food here, the American doctors have
endeavored to find similar lack Of
vitamins in cornmeal, base of the

Man Keeps Green
Prospective Grave

New Carlisle, Pa.-There's
newly-made grave in New Car
Isle cemetery.
No mourners with bowed
heads stood by when it was
made. No minister said "earth
to earth and dust to dust" No
flowers bedecked the casket.
But the man who will rest in
the grave some day carefully
heaped up the little mound and
as carefully placed the little
squares of sod in place. The
grave is empty-waiting until
death lays it's hand on the man
who prepared it.
]. Herwert Day, so years old,
well known citizen and music
teacher, being the last member
of his family, ordered the care
taker to prepare the grave, con-
struct the stone vault for receiv-
ing the casket, place the broad
stone over it and refill the grave.
This was done, after which Day
himself heaped up "the little
mound Of clay" and placed the
sod upon it.

Cable Situation Complicated

The cable situation seems to be
complicated beyond the comprehension
of the ordinary American. The big
powers appear to be hopelessly dead
locked in the disposition Of the Ger
man cables. 1t is charged that France
is trying to deprive the United States
Of any shares In them. Japan, it is
stated, is trying to euchre the United
States out Of cable facilities in the
Pacific. The Western Union is at log
gerheads with the United States de-
partment over the Brazil-Barbados-
Miami cable, which was to have been
landed at Miami, Fla. And the SEN
ate interstate commerce committee is
trying to get light on the situation.

ordinary Haitian diet. Experiments
swer.
The institutional incidence Of the
Haitian disease or it's tendency to ap-'
pear in epidemic form and to affect
certain institutions, suggested the ma
ture Of an infective agent. At one
time the bedbug was under suspicion.
Numerous blood cultures and cultures
from autopsical finds, animal inocula-
ton and the like, have produced only
either negative or inconsistent results,
says the medical chief of the gendar-
merle.
Malady Decreases.
On one occasion five hospital corps
men from the gendarmerie (natives)
volunteered to be bitten by bedbugs
which had been fed on patients with
the disease. One Of these volunteers
developed dropsy six weeks later, but
this dropsy was attributed to other
causes, and the experiment was re-
garded as negative.
| The prevalence of the malady has
shown progressive decrease during
this is due to measures taken by Doc
| tor Mann and his staff can be deter
mined only after further study and
careful investigation. The American
naval surgeon explained that he is
careful not to accept false encourage
ments because of the tendency Of the
disease to subside altogether in GER
| tain institutions and then suddenly
crop out anew with more serious re-
suits than ever.
Col Frederick M. Wise, United
States marine corps, commanding the
Gendarmerie d'Haiti, and Col. John
Russell, commanding the First Marine
brigade in Haiti, have shown great in
terest in Doctor Mann's fight to locate
the cause and combat Haiti's disease.
They have given all possible assist
ance and placed the entire line Of re-
search unhampered under his direc-
ton.
/ The beneficent and altruistic labor
of Doctor Mann and his medical
staff is one Of many compromising fac
tors in what appears to be muddled
situation in Haiti today. Theirs is a
work for humanity in the strictest
sense.
Undoubtedly the United States pub
lie health service and the Rookie.
Teller institute would take certain
interest in the strange disease. Doc.
tor Mann hopes, however, with the CO.
operation of such institutions and with
the utilization Of such additional facil.
titles, that the results of sustained eff.
forts viii serve to eradicate scourge
that kills such an appalling number OF
:. Haitians every year.
So far as known, Haiti's mysterious
disease never has affected white
man.

K|LBANE Gets A
FORTUNE WIN Or
LOSE THIS FIGHT
CBy AssocIay.d Press.)


Cleveland, Sept. 10-When Johnny
Kilbane, worlds featherweight cham
pion boxer, steps into the ring at
Dunn Field here on the afternoon of
Sept. IT to face Danny Frush of Bal
timore in twelve-round bout to
decision, it will be the first time he
has defended his title since he knock
ed out George CLANCY at Cedar Point
Ohio, Sept. a, 1916.
Kilbane is; ITO receive 100000 for
his end-win, lose or draw-or posi-
bly, more, as he is working on a 30
per cent basis. This is said to be the
largest amount ever guaranteed Il
boxer below the heavyweight rank,
and very few heavyweights have re-
ceived that much for a championship
match. Frush is to receive $2,5OO--
his training expenses.
Kilbane was 80 years old last
April. Despite this supposed handi-
cap, he is confident he will retain his
title. Frush is twenty-five, or about
a year younger than Kilbane was
when he wrestled the championship
from Abe Attell on February %
1912, at Vernon, Cal.
Although Kilbane's title has not
been at stake for five years, he has
fought any number of no-decisior
bouts.
Frush is regarded here as his fore
most opponent. He has defeated
some of the best in the featherweight
division, and has far better knock,
out record than Kilbane. In his list
are several who went the limit will
the champion. One of these is Ar
tie Root of Cleveland, who came
dangerously near winning the fea'

Hawthorne's Old
Home Preserved

South Casco, Maine, Sept. 10-The
house on the shores of Sebago lake
here in which Nathaniel Hawthorne
lived as a boy and where he made
his home when he was attending
Bowdoin College, is to be preserved
as a community house: Citizens and
summer residents have just formed
A corporation for the purpose.
Robert Manning of Salem, Mass,
who owned thousands of acres Of
land about Sebago lake, built the
house in 1914 for his sister, who was
Hawthorne's mother. Mrs. Haw-
thorne had lost her husband at sea
and lived afterward in retirement.
Hawthorne was ten years old when
he came to the new house with his
mother, and this continued to be his
home until after his graduation
from Bowdoin College in 1925, when
he returned to Salem.
The building was occupied as a
boarding house for long time after
the Hawthornes left it. Seventy
years ago it was built over into a
church for which purpose it has
since been used. 1t is big square
structure of the colonial style OF
architecture.
At the request of his uncle, the
boy Hawthorne kept a diary while
he lived here and these volumes are
now in the possession of Rev. Will
lam C. Norris of Willimantic, Conn.
who is vice-president of the new cor
poration. They will be donated tt
the community house.

will labor unions consent to this?
They have heretofore objected. Here
would be test. Labor union lead
ers have before now asked and re-

This is wrong. and would be just as
bad if the situation were reversed.
