Mayor Ready to Rush Work
on Rapid Transit System
Last enabling legislation pnssed by
Councils.
Mayor announces work will be be
gun as soon as detailed plans have
been completed by Transit Depart
ment. , ,
Transit Director Twining be
lieves plans will be prepared early
in October.
Mayor will follow advice of former
Director Taylor as to which line
shall be begun first.
Impossible to carry on work on all
lines simultaneously on account of
scarcity of labor.
Mayor will call conference on pro
posed P. It. T. operating agreement
.early next week.
Mnyor Smith announced today, following
tho nctlon of Councils yesteruny aiirriiooii.
In Inking tho Inst loglslnllvo step necessary
to placo tho $57,100,000 transit loan nt tho
disposal of tho Department of City Transit,
that work would ho begun on all lines of
Philadelphia'!) high-speed system ns Boon
as detailed plarm have been completed by
tha engineers of tho Transit Department.
Transit Director Twining has advised
tho Mayor that tho detailed plans and
epcclflcatlons upon which tho contracts for
the now work can bo let will be ready early
In October. It Is likely, therefore, that bids
will bb advertised for at that time for the
first work on either the Darby elevated or
tho lloxborough-Manayunk subway-elo-vatcd.
It has not been definitely decided which of
tho two lines will bo begun first, tho Mayor
ald today. It la unlikely that both linen
will bo started at tho same time, tho Mayor
explained, Blnco tho present condition of tho
labor market would mako It Impossible to
tot enough men to carry on tho work on
both thoso now lines nnd the Broad Wreet
subway and tho Frankford elevated simul
taneously. SMITH READY TO PROCEED.
"I had a talk recently with former Tran
sit Director Taylor as to tho bCBt way to
proceed," tho Mayor said, "and 'although I
am not at liberty to announco now what ho
suggested, I can say that I am In full agree
ment with his views. It was agreed that
the present condition of tho labor market
would mako It Imposslblo to carry on the
work on ovcry lino of tho high-speed system
simultaneously."
When asked whether tho prevailing high
prices of steel nnd other building materials
would causo any delay In letting contracts,
tho Mayor replied that unless tho prices
of materials soared beyond nil reason this
should not causo nny delay, particularly
since former Director Taylor, In making tho
cost estimates of tho various lines, added 10
per cent, for possible higher prices of
materials.
"Tho peoplo by their vote on Mny 1C,"
continued tho Mayor, "proved beyond all
question that they want rapid transit, and
It Is for me ns Mayor to see that they get
what they want ns soon as possible."
LEASING PLAN NOT SETTLED.
When asked what progress has been
mado In the negotiations with Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company for the leasing
and operation of the city-built high-speed
system, tho Mayor said:
"Tho ad men's convention and the mov
ing of tho troops have so occupied my time
for the last two weeks that I have had no
opportunity to call a conference of the
city members on the Transit Board as I
had planned to do. "With these other
matters cared for I shall call a meeting
early next week to tako some definite
steps."
The Mayor is anxious to work out an
agreement with the Rapid Transit Company
as soon as possible, since no work can be
done on tho Frankford elevated south of
Callowhlll street until it Is known how th
line shall bo operated. If the Rapid Transit
Company falls to make -an equitable agree
ment, the appropriation bill passed yester
day by Councils provides $5,000,000 to
build a Chestnut street subway as a link
between the Frankford elevated and the
Darby elevated and also to make the city
built high-speed system a complete unit,
which may be leased to an independent
operator.
"RIVER PIRATE" HELD
IN THEFTS OF BOATS
Man Arrested in Media Con
fesses to Stealing of
Five Craft
Numerous thefts of canoes, rowboats and
launches from points along the Delaware
River front from Cooper's Point to Edge
water Park, that have puzzled the Camden
police authorities for more than a month
were solved today when City Detective John
Painter returned to Camden from Media,
where he had been sent to look over a
man giving the name of Richard Long,
under arrest at the latter place.
Painter, recognized the prisoner, who had
been arrested while trying to sell a rowboat
near Esslngton on July 4, as Richard Sim
mons, an old-time "river pirate" whom
Painter had arrested on a similar charge,
13 years ago. The recognition was mutual,
Simmons greeting the detective as an old
acquaintances, remarking, "I'd rather be
arrested by you, John, than any policeman
I know, and I know a lot of them."
When Painter remarked that Simmons
must have some commutation to serve at
the State Penitentiary, the prisoner re
plied: . "They don't give you time off at that
place; they just lend it to you, nnd I'll have
to pay back a lot of time I owe them."
Under Painter's questioning, Simmons ad
mlted stealing live boats. Including a steam
launch, within the last month. The launch
he sold at Lavalette, N. J, He will be
brought to Camden as soon as requisition
is arranged.

Exports from the general service board
of the United Stales Public Health Service

today to nsslst tho city nnd State health
officials In establishing precautionary meas
ures Against tho Invasion of Infantile paral
ysis. They will probably nrrlvo tomorrow
morning and confer Immediately with Doc
tor Kruscn, director of tho Department of
Public Health nnd Charities, and nsslst tho
department with their technical, expert
knowledge of preventive methods.
Philadelphia nlready hns established a
strong first lino of defense ngnlnst Invasion
of the epidemic which Is gripping Brook
lyn nnd Clrenter New York. And It wan
announced this afternoon by Doctor Kruscn
thnt nddltlonnl precautions would be taken
unlit the city becomes ns nenr Impregnable
to tho epidemic ns It Is possible io mane u.
VICTIM SEniOUSLY ILL.
Florenco Alexander, 6 yenrn old, daughter
of Samuel Alexander, of 1930 East Erie
avenue, tho lntcst of the only two victims
of the malady, who was taken to the Mu
nicipal Hospltnl at 2 o'clock this morning,
developed total paralysis of the lega thla
afternoon. She Is In a serious condition.
Thn other victim. Joseph Currnn, 17
monthi old, of 2125 Delawnro avenue, Ken
sington, was tho first one to be taken to the
rlicclnl ward In the hospltnl.
Besides a special ward nnd a speclnl
corps of trained physicians nnd nurses nt
tho Municipal Hospital for the caro of the
cases, Director Krusen has nppolnted two
specialists of tho pediatric staff of the hos
pital to answer calls of families and med
ical men. These two specialists have been
given an automobllo for tho special pur
poso of making quick trips In nnBwer to
such calls.
CAIRNS STUDIES METHODS.
Dr. A. A. Cairns, chief medical Inspector
of the Department of Health, Is In Now
York today conferring with specialists of
tho Department of Health there. He Is
learning tho latest methods being employed
there for tho caro and disposition of cases
and tho general precautionary measures
being taken. Ho will return to Philadel
phia tonight prepared to put Into effect
hero whatever measures ho has learned
that will bo necessary to guard against tho
malady.
Director Kruson Is having printed today
a pamphlet which will bo used as a form
letter to bo mailed to physicians through
out the city, giving them Instructions on
tho sclontlflo precautions necessary. He ex
pects tho pamphlets to bo off tho presses
tonight and will havo them mailed tomor
row. NO EPIDEMIC, SAYS KRUSEN.
"There Is no Infantile paralysis epidemic
In Philadelphia," Doctor Krusen said. "At
present thero aro known to bo only two
cases of the disease In the city. They havo
been Isolated In tho ward which has been
set aside for such cases In tho Municipal
Hospital. Two cases do not mako an
epidemic.
"I boliovo that Philadelphia Is In no
danger of a general spreading of tha dis
ease, Ono of the principal reasons It has
taken such a hold In New York and Brook
lyn Is because of tho extremely congested
districts thero. Philadelphia is n city of
homes. As a consequence, a majority of
such diseases are Individually isolated. But
regardless of tho fact that conditions nro
In our favor as compared with conditions
In New York and Brooklyn, we aro not
overlooking any precautionary measures.
INSTRUCTIONS TO PUBLIC.
"I would like to Instruct the peoplo
through tho Evbnino Ledoer on what they
should do to help tho Department of
Health.
First. Send for tho family physician tho
minute your child Is taken sick. Of special
Importance Is this to be dono If the child
has a high fever, Is stricken with nausea
nnd becomes apathetic.
Second. If the family physician Is In
doubt he should be requested to send to
the Health Department for ono of our
trained diagnosticians.
Third. If you are afraid of possible In
fection or of carrying Infection, do not kls3
a child's lips. Also be wary of persona who
are coughing or sneezing.
Fourth Keop (lies away from the
child's face. Swat the fly.
Fifth In caring for n sick child keep the
hands thoroughly clean.
Sixth Particular sanitary care of tho
personnel and habitations should bo taken.
Seventh. Make sure of the sanitary con
dition of all food and drink.
"If these rules aro followed by the peoplo
of Philadelphia It will be almost Impossible
for infantile paralysis to become epidemic
here.
OUTDOOR CAMPS URGED.
Dr. Charles K. Mills, emeritus professor
of neuresthenta In the University of Penn
sylvania and senior member of the staff of
the Philadelphia Hospital, who has made
Investigations of infantile paralysis epi
demics and conducted campaigns against
them in the Lehigh Valley, on the Atlantic
coast arid in Sweden, advises the establish
ment of outdoor camps, entirely Isolated,
If the disease should obtain a foothold In
Philadelphia.
"While the exact methods in which
pollomyelatls, or infantile paralysis," said
Doctor Mills, "spreads In a community has
not been fully established, there are good
reasons for believing that this disastrous
result Is brought about in two or three
ways.
"In the first place, the Infection is un
doubtedly conveyed by such agencies as
the fly, the insect host or whatever it may
be. Unquestionably it has a tendency to dis
tribute itself over given regions, as It did
In the Lehigh Valley and Is doing now in
New York.
"This being the case, It is clearly de
sirable and possible of even going to the
expense of removing children who may be
threatened as well as those already af
flicted to localities where the disease has
not shown Itself. I understand that the
State Board of Health is making provisions
bearing on the question, such as the estab
lishment of tent camps for children.
"It Is self evident that If the camp or
any form of segregation Is resorted to, it
should be done in such a way as not to
threaten new communities. The place for
segregation should be as far as possible
from places closely Inhabited, such as, for
example, the slopes of the Alieghanles.
"By removing children attacked on one
hand and children of a community or neigh
borhood which have not become victims of
the disease, two things are accomplished.
One is the danger of climatic and atmos
pheric conditions in the community are not
present. The second Is that it prevents the
spread of disease by Individual contact.

Florence Alexander, 5 years old, of

with the infantile paralysis which
is sweeping New York. She has
been taken to the Philadelphia Hos
pital for Contagious Diseases.

researches nnd studies of authorities. Is
that tho disease probably enters and leaves
by tho no.io and throat. Tho mucous mem

host of tho disease germs.
"As you cannot pick out children who
are ablo to resist tho disease, tho mani
fest duty of the doctor and health authori
ties is to hlcld them ns fnr as possible.
During the serious prevalonco of tho dis
ease families, ns far as possible, should
koep their own children away from other
children, especially those thoy know noth

With regard to the carriers of tho disease.
It Is dinicult to be exact. 1 have known of
cases of tho dlseaso In which chickens,
birds nnd cats have been tho carriers.
Thereforo it stands to reason that the
parents should keop their children away
from cats and other animals they know
nothing of,
TLAN LINE OP WSFENSD.
Tho borders of tho State will be patrolled
by the State health odlclals to prevent any
of the cases coming to Pennsylvania from
New York. State Health Commissioner
Dixon has ordered 2000 health ofdclals to
maintain tho patrol, and has called a meet
ing of the State Health Department ad
visory board for tomorrow morning to dis
cuss the disease. The meeting will be held
at 10 o'clock, at the Philadelphia offices of
the State Health Commission.
CLOSE WATCH FOIt CASES.
Doctor Dixon has officially declared
Pennsylvania quarantined against all per
sons suffering from the disease, and has
Issued instructions to all local health boards
to telegraph to tho State Department of
Health all cases as soon as they are re
ported In the various communities.
The case of the Curran baby was reported
to tho department of health at 8 o'clock
last night by Dr. F. A. Murphy, of 3019
Richmond street The child has been 111
only three days, but his left arm and leg
are completely paralyzed, and little hope is
held out for his revocery.
The second case was reported after 1
o'clock this morning, after It had been un
der careful observation for eight hours.
Physicians of the city health department
made a diagnosis at once in both cases.
and the patients were removed In closed
ambulances to the Philadelphia Hospital for
Contagious Diseases.
Director Krusen said that he had the
special ward fitted out at the Philadelphia
Hospital for Contagious Diseases, "in order
to be on the safe side. I was only carrying
out the doctrine of preparedness," he said.
"I still maintain the disease Is only
mildly contagious, if at all," Doctor Cairns
said. "Now, take In the year 1910, when
we had 165 cases of Infantile paralysis,
there was a total of 198 rhlldren who were
exposed to the IBS who were affected, Yet

disease. Apparently, Infantile paralysis is
not very catching."
DOCTOR DIXON'S STATEMENT.
Dr. Samuel CI. Dixon, commissioner of the
SInto Department of Health, contends with
Doctor Cairns that tho disease Is not easily
communicated. In a statement ho gave out
last night ho said:
"Tho tnfantilo paralysis now epidemic In
New York and Its sub'urbs Is serious, as the
death rate, up to tho present time, would
appear to be nbout 2B per cent. This li
unusually high, and, unfortunately, Wo do
not know what produces this distressing
disease, nor havo wo nny specific for Its
treatment.
"Pennsylvania statistics, compiled during
an epidemic a few years ago, Indicato It
was not easily communicated from one per
son to another, for the reason that most of
tho homes In which the disease existed had
two or moro children nnd It was a great
exception when we had more than ono enso
In a slnglo family.
"Then again, when tho children, suffering
with infantllo paralysis, wcro taken to hos
pitals and put in wards with other children,
they did not transmit the dl.'case Notwith
standing this fact thoso sick with the dis
ease should bo kept In a separate room avray
from other children, and thoio rooms
should ho mado proof against fllos, or, In
other words. Insects, rats, mice, cats and
dogs.
"It Ii possible that Intcrtn mny produce
or carry tho disease, and they may get the
poison from those suffering with the dls
easo nnd transmit It Indirectly to other
children, or, In sonio cases, to adults. It
Is again possible that this dlseaso might
como from pollen or seeds of vegetable life.
It Is not probable that It comes from food
stuff, for. If so, more children In tho same
families, would becomo Infected than our
statistics show.
'"When n'chlld Is stricken with this dis
ease, It should be under the constant caro of
tho physician, as tho general treatment
from the very beginning of tho attack has
much to do with tho final recovery.
INFANT SCOURGE MAY CONTINUE
ALL SUMMER IN NEW YORK
NEW YORK. July 7. Overworked Board
of Health officials, who havo been striv
ing unsuccessfully to check tho infantllo
paralysis epidemic, admitted today their
belief that the scourge would probably con
tinue throughout tho summer. The mor
tality .continues at about 24 per cent
higher than ever recorded in previous out
breaks here.
Twenty-two deaths were reported In tho
21 hours ending nt 10 o'clock, against 24
in tho previous 24 hours. Thero were 87
now cases reported. During the preced.
ing 24 hours 133 new cases had developed
Although tho figures are smaller. It was
said that the disease was increasing in
some districts which had hitherto been
Immune from It.
There aro 400 cases being treated In two
hospitals in Brooklyn, whoreason July 1
only 321 cases of tho disease were known
to exist in tho entire city.
