tion which they may seek to give fu-
ture government action. The session
will be continued tom orrow, and will
be merged with that of the executive
committee of the same conference or

said after the meeting that no definite
conclusions had been reached, and that
none would be prior to tomorrow,
when some Recommendations might be
prepared TO include a call for the Chi
cago convention.
1--WE are naturally very much pleased
with the election results and convinced
that the method of working for control
Of existing party organizations Is the
best one to follow" Mr.. Johnston said.
"The sentiment appeared to be that
not much prospect of any legislative
session Of Congress, considering the
congestion it will face, but that If the
transportation act, for instance, is to
be opened up, we must be in readiness
with q program for its amendment"

''Lefty'' Dodges Almost

Lefty Lipschitz, whose friends have
small use for the "Herbert" his parents
bestowed on him, perceived that he was
in danger last night as soon as man
who stood at Ninth Street and Second
Avenue began shooting at him.
He didn't wait TO find out whether he
was target or an innocent bystander,
but took it on the run. The gunman
had time to get in only three shots be-
fore Lefty disappeared eastward on
Ninth Street. He swung south on First
Avenue and ran until he sighted taxi
at ST. Marks Place.

It was found there that the only

Country Faces
Eastern Plague,
Says Copeland
Health Commissioners Warns
Of Typhus, Cholera and
Bubonic Epidemic Spread
From Russia and Poland

The United States Is In danger of
an invasion Of typhus, cholera and bu-
bonic plague from Russia and Poland,
it was declared yesterday by Health
Commissioner Royal s. Copeland,
United States Senator-elect. Such q
situation may confront this country
for the next FIVE orr ten years.
DR.. Copeland's statement was made
In the course of an announcement that
steps to combat the European disease
peril would be discussed at q meeting
to be held on the night of December 2
in the Town Hall, at s2l West Forty
third Street. TWO such steps. he said.
are the strlctest sort OF medical exam
ination of all immigrants at the var
ious ports Of entry and measures for
sanitary relief In northeastern Europe.
Copeland Made Health Survey
''Last summer" said DR.. Copeland,
II made a survey which took me TO
the Russian border In Poland. This
gave me first-hand information Of con-
ditions there.
Seven hostile armies passed through
Poland, and many points were occu-
pied twenty times during the war. AZ
ter that the Poles had three-year war
with the Russian Bolsheviki. When
the Russians were finally driven out of
eastern Poland they destroyed every
building, took away the aocks and
herds and carried 100000 Poles into
captivity. Under the Treaty Of Riga
these refugees must be returned to
Poland, and there were selected seven
border points through which they are
being brought back. The chief of
these ia Barauowice, which was tho
main objective OF my trip
"The town, found, was practically
like prison camp, having little moro
than few wooden shacks surrounded
by barbed wire. One tralnload of ref
ugees leaving Siberia was of $500 per-
sons, but only 500 arrived in Poland
alive.
There are no hospitals at three OIL
the seven border points, and there Is
grave danger of the plague diseases
passing through Germany, Holland,
France and England to the United
States.
While I am as interested as any one
in alternating the sufferings Of the peo-
pie OF Poland, my chief interest, as
the Health Commissioner of this city,
is the effect these diseases would have
in New York should they become epi-
demic here.
Would Raise Fund Here
Il believe that at least $50, 900 should
be raised here to provide the necessary
hospitals ut the Polish border points.
Every one Of these refugees is a can
didate for American citizenship, and
just as many Of them as can get the
money and pass the requirements will
come to New York. II is because
fear the effect of disease on our popu-
!ation that l feel it imperative our cit-
liens should know the facts and be
permitted to contribute something to
the small sum needed to guard our
port by wiping out disease at its
source"
