INDUSTRIAL WORK IS, MOST HAZARDOUS
Death Rate From Accident Over Twice That in
 Non-Industrial Group

Baltimore, April 10.-'The death rate from accidental causes among industrial workers is about two and one-half times that for the non-in- dustrial group, the committee on oc- cupational diseases and hazards in the chemical trades of the American Chemical society declared in a re- port to the society today. Pneumo- nia Is twice as high among indus- trial as among non-industrial work CTS, the report added, continuing:
 Tuberculosis is more important than accidents for a loss of between IS months, and two years in the Longevity of workers and industrial employment Is probably the most Important single factor in the tuber- culosis death rate.
 Tn a similar manner conditions such as cerebral hemorrhage, Bright's disease and organic heart diseases show strikingly the effects of industrial exposure. The death rates are two and three times as high as in the non-industrial groups during the active working years of life.
 "As regards the hazards inherent to exposure to certain industrial poisons, 1t Is believed the number of immediate deaths is probably not large; but the indirect effects can be noted in the curtailed' efficiency of workers in these trades, in long pe- riods of illness and disability"
 Investigation among insurance policy holders disclosed that the average loss of working time was eight days per annum for gainfully employed men. Inasmuch as illness goes unrecorded, the actual loss, 1t is believed, Is much heavier.
 The committee urged nation- wide survey of the dangers which lead to occupational diseases in the chemical industries.
 Waste of humans would be elim- mated by exact knowledge in this field and safety measures could be applied to very many plants which are not listed as chemical industries, but which carry on very hazardous chemical operations" the commit tee asserted.

SCIENTIFIC BOAT
 IS MISSING AT SEA
ArCturuS Not Heard From Since
 March 29--RadiO Is Silent
WAS IN SOUTHERN WATERS
Last Heard From 200 Miles South of Panama - Wireless Stations Continue Efforts To Get Into Com
 munication with Missing Scientists.

New York. April 10.--High pow cred radio stations and ships at sea which for five days have filled the air with calls for the steamship Arc turus, carrying William Beebe and group of scientists on the deep sea oceanographic expedition of the New York Geological society, today continued their efforts The expedi- ton has not been heard from since March 29 when the captain reported that all was well 200 miles south of Panama.
 Left In February
 The Arcturus left New York on February 10 and after a trip to the Sargosso Sea, on March 2S, put out from Panama for survey of the Humboldt current and a visit 10 the Galapagos Island in the Pacific, 7S0 miles west of Ecuador. The vessel carried two powerful wireless out fits with a range of 5000 miles, and previous to March 30 the captain reported the position of the ship daily to New York through the In- dependent Wireless companys sta ton at East Morlches, on Long Is- land.
 The ship is commanded by Cap tain J. g. Howes and Mrs. George Putnam, wife of the New York pub fisher, and theirs11 year old son, David Putnam, are aboard as pas sengers.
 Feel No Anxiety
 While officials of the Independent Wireless company said they knew of no atmospheric condition which would prevent communication for 10 days, Dr. Robert Cushman Murphy, assistant director of the American Museum of Natural History said he felt no great anxiety concerning the safety of the expedition.
 Dr. Murphy is familiar with the waters off the west coast of South America and returned from that vicinity recently. Unprecedented weather had prevailed in the vicinity of the Humboldt current, he said, and trouble may have been exper- fenced with the wireless outfit on the ishiP. Other scientists and officials of the Geological society said they thought there was no cause for alarm.
 Is Large Vessel
 The Arcturus is the largest vessel ever fitted out especially for deep sea exploration. It is equipped with every type of fishing nets. from the huge over-bored trawl to the small est hand nets. The crew numbers 34 and with the 14 scientists and two passengers the total on board is 51.
 There was a feeling among some scientists that the expedition might be on the verge of some important discovery and that in order not to he premature Ln information from the ship was being withheld until the psychological moment when the climax is reached.

Chicago, April 10.-Enough mer- Ieury poisoning to have killed two persons has been found in the body of Mrs. Emma McClintock, mother of William Nelson McClintock, or lphan millionaire, whom William D.. Shepherd, his foster father. is charged with killing with typhoid germs. according to Coroner Oscar Wolf.
 The coroner's formal statement is- sued after his chemist reported re- suits of tests made on her body, dis fnterred after 16 years burial said the poison was in all probability ad- ministered to her between 10 and IS days before her death.
 When Mrs. McClintock died in Chicago shortly after a Texas visit, her will placed her son under the guardianship of Mrs. Shepherd, with . guardians fee Of sf5,00O year. Mrs. McClintock had once attended ! Kansas college with Mrs. Shepherd.
 Friend Is Suspected
 Tt is very evident" Coroner Wolff's statement said. that the poi son was administered to Mrs. Me- Clintock in small doses, showing ehat maybe six or seven potions were given her. .t. .
 'The poison necessarily must have been administered by subterfuge, on food or in medicine, and therefore t must have been given by some one in Mrs. McCIintock's close con- ddence, one of her attendants. Ger tainly she would not accept such services from strangers.
 Was Not Accident
 The amount Of mercury found is In itself proof that 1t was not taken IS medicine, or accidentally, or with suicidal intent. If that amount had peen taken in one does resulting sonvulslons would have been suffi- ciently violent to indicate at once to he attending physician that the patient had been poisoned.
 "Our investigation indicates there were no convulslons, only bloated condition of the body that seemed iusplcious and caused one witness 70 believe at the time a post mortem saould have been performed"
 Olson Case Not Finished
 Dr. William D. McNally, coroner's chemist, who examined the body of Mrs. McClintock. has not completed ,nalysis of the vital organs of Dr. Oscar Olson, McClintock family physician, whose body was disin- Eerred at the same time as that of Mrs. McChntock. Dr. Olson, broth pr of Harry Olson, municipal court chief justice and instigator of the inquiry into William McClintock's ieath, died three years ago, few hours after Shepherd had visited him.
 Detectives who checked all the medicinal prescriptions given Mrs. McClintock during her last illness announced none of them showed that mercury or Its compounds had been contained In them. Search was started, following Coroner Wolff's statement for witnesses of her last months. t>-
 Shepherd Still Fighting
 The statement of Coroner Wolff eame while the Illinois supreme bourt was taking under considera- tion q petition of Shepherds coun- bel from a writ of habeas corpus, the 'inal effort to obtain his release from Eail pending his trial on the indict- Enent charging the killing of Young McClintock.
 Arraignment of Shepherd yester- fay was continued for one week, Iuring which his attorneys expected } decision would be made by the supreme court.
