Dixon, Stato Health Commissioner, In announcing tho four now cases, said thero was nb causo for alarm over tho situation. In Philadelphia twot cases wcro reported last -week, but It Is thought that ono of this cases Is not a genuine caso ot anterior poliomyelitis. Tho other patient, who Is actually suffering from tho dlscaso, la not In a serious condition. In tho Stato outsldo of Philadelphia, four cases wcro re; ported last week, two at Bethlehem, ono at Mlddlctown, on tho Main Lino, and ono In Pittsburgh. Dr. Wllmer Kruson, tho city's Health Di rector, at his placo at Xangh'orno said yes terday that CO medical Inspectors woro on duty at tho big stations to enforce the quar antine and prevent tho disease being brought Into tho Stato by thoso fleeing Now York. Inspectors of tho Stato Health Department and physicians throughout tho Stato aro on tho lookout for traces of tho dlsoase. "Of course wo cannot prophesy," said Doctor Kruson, "but tho outlook Is very hopeful. I eeo no reason why Pennsyl vania should fear an epldomla of this dis ease and bollove that thero Is Uttlo clangor If the peoplo hero faco tho matter In a cool and sane manner. All suspicious cases should be reported nt onco to tho family physician, who vlll enforce tho quarantlno regulations." Bernard J. Newman, secrotary of tho Housing Commission, said yostorday that ho knew of no facts that Indicated a rela tionship between poor housing conditions and the spread of tho dlscaso. During the epldemla of 1010 In this city It was found that as largo a percentage of cases wcro reported from tho Chestnut Hill section as from the poorer districts, where better liv ing conditions did not prevail. KEEP THE HOME CLEAN, SAYS HEALTH CHIEF TO PARENTS Keep Children Out of Crowded Places, Urges Doctor Dixon HAIUUSBUItG, July 10. Whllo the causes of Infantile paralysis are unknown, Stato Health Commissioner Dixon gives much adv'lco that may prevent the disease among children. Ho says: "Infantile paralysis. Is a disease that affects the .nervous system. It often causes death, and again, the acute stage fre quently subsides and leaves paralysis of ono or more of tho limbs that heretofore has often lasted through life. "Today we do not know what causes the disease, therefore preventive measures must be broad. You must keep the children away "from Insect life, such as flies, mos quitoes, fleas, bedbugs, ticks, ants, lice, etc You Bhould see that all rats and mice around the building are killed. Pet cats and dogs Bhould be washod with a 2 per cent, carbolic acid solution to destroy insect life. Everything should be kept clean about the home. Including the children's bodies and clothing. '"Children should be kept out of crowded places and be denied the frequent access to crowded halls of entertainment during our present threat with epidemic, "The youngsters should not be permitted to alt on the damp ground nor have their bodies thoroughly chilled, day or night. They should not bathe In cold water until their circulation Is lnterefered with and they become chilly and blue." CONGRESS MAY PUSH FIGHT AGAINST INFANT PLAGDE Plan to Provide Aid .to Prevent Future Epidemics WASHINGTON, July 10, Congress will bo asked to provide Federal aid to combat the widespread epldemla of infantile par alysis, and to prevent future epidemics. Representative B. P. Harrison, of Missis sippi, one of the Administration leaders in the House, went over the situation with Dr. William C. Itucker and other ofllclals of the publlo health service, as well as with other congressional leaders. He will ask a con gressional Investigation to determine what steps the Federal Government can take that will best meet the problem. , "Certainly," said Representative Harri son, "this Is a Federal problem, for the tils-. ease la so widespread as to menace the child-life of the entire nation. If we can do nothing more we can authorlio a con gressional Investigation which, through publicity, will warn tha people of the coun try of tha methods of avoiding, preventing and treating the disease. If no other course is open I shall press a resolution authoriz ing the Rules Committee of (he House to investigate tha subject."

Leading Dem ocratic membors of tho House Wayo nnd Means Committee said today thero was no possibility of a chango being mado In tho rates of taxes on munitions carried In tho pending revenue bill. Tho big propaganda, launched by brass manufacturers as well as powdor manufacturers, to bring about changes, will havo no effect, they assert. Chairman Claudo Kltchln has received hundreds of protests, as havo nil tho othor members of tho committee. It Is stated that ono of tho strongest protests camo from tho du Pont Powder Company nt Wilmington, Del., but tho Democratic mombors of tho commlttco bollove. tho recent dlvldendB paid by tho company warrant tho taxes prop'osod. Thoy assert that the high tax of tho In grcdlonts of powdor amounts to llttlo on tho finished product. "Tho du Pont Company has been paying 25, CO and as high as 200 per cent, stock dividends," said Representative- Cordell Hull, of Tonncsseo, who had much to do with preparing the rovenuo measure. "In vlow of that fact, tho Democratlo members do not regard tho rates ns prohibitive. It seems that tho company will still be able to earn big monoy on tho capital Invested." With refcrenco to tho protests of braBS producers, it was pointed out that mora than 1200,000,000 worth of copper and brass has been exported In tho last 10 months. That 13 practically half of tho ontlro output ot tho United States. Tho prices obtained for tho copper export ed Is materially In advanco of tho normal price, and tho Democrats assert that tho taX; to be Imposed represents but a small part of that Increase. SHOTS AT POLICE A PUZZLE; CAPTIVE WAS NOT ARMED Man Caught Outside Snollenburg Homo Had No Revolver Companion Got Away Tho police aro puzzled today to ox pin In tho fuslllado of shots which greotcd thorn yesterday morning when thoy attemptod to arreBt two men thought to bo burglars, who had entered tho yard of tho home of Nathan Snellonburg, at 2123 North Broad street. Street Sergeant Ames nnd District De tective Orndorff, of tho Parle and Lehigh avenues station, responded to a telephone call Informing the police that two men had been seen climbing tho fenco of tho Snellen burg homo. When thoy arrived throo shots wero fired at thorn through tho fence nnd they returned tho Are. Nono of tho bullets, however, took effect. Ono of the men tn tho yard escaped, but tho other, John Killeen, 21 years old, of 222S North 16th street, was arrested and held In $400 ball for a further hearing to day. His companion, Dale De Kline, 18 years old, was arrested at his home, 1618 Mount Vernon street, this morning, nnd both wero held In $400 ball for a further hearing next Sunday. Both denied any Intention of robbing the Snellenburg homo, of which they wero suspected,, and said that they had fired no shots. Their clothes, their homes and the vicinity of the shooting wero searched and no- revolver could be found. It Is thought possible that the shots may have been fired by some overzealous neighbor of the Snellenburgs, who aimed at tho men thought to be burglars, but nearly hit the police men. Kllteen was Intoxicated when arrested, the polios assert. Ho Bald ho and his com panion had climbed the fence because they were carrying several bottles of bear and did not want any one to see them.

Mr. Jackson might havo had a chicken dinner today If certain things had not hap pened. Tho farm of Samuel Nice, near Willow Orovo, boasted, and dosplto Mr, Jackson still boasts, of Homo mighty flno, tender specimens of fowl that would graca any dinner table.

They hired a boat near League Island for a trip on tho choppy water. In mid stream Taylor noticed' tho boat was leaking and soon an Inch ot water covered tho bot tom of the frail craft. Ho became alarmed and urged those at tho oars with lilm to pull hard for the Now Jersey shoro. His companions counseled coolness, but Taylor was thoroughly frightened. In spite of the frantic efforts of those who sat near to restrain him, he rose to his feet and scroamed that the boat was sinking. Tho motorboat Wenonnh J, owned by Mr, nnd Mrs. Matthew Blbby, was returning from a trip up Timber Creek and came Into the river In time to discover the plight of the Ave young men. In the motorboat party, besides Mr. nnd Mrs. Blbby, were Edward Blbby, Frank Cook and Lawrence Bolster, all ot Philadelphia. The boat was driven close to the other one, and Bolster plunged Into the water. One by one he took three of the young men to the side of the motorboat. where his companions dragged them aboard. Meanwhile the ether two young men were pulled to safety by the life preserver lines. Bolster spent some time diving for Tay lor's body, but could not recover It. The police boat Iteyburn was then notified and went to' the scene to grapple. Taylor was unmarried and employed as a machine hand at the plant of the Philadelphia Elec trical Manufacturing Company.
