PARALY8IS KILLS 2 MORE
B BABIES DIE THIS SUMMER
Contlnnd from fact One
nnd died yesterday In the Municipal Hos
pital. The two children who died today
were only reported as being sufferers yes
terday, Others reported yesterday were
Max Abrams, t, 3169 North Delhi street;
Susan Downing, 14, 1636 South Droad
street; Anna Fetrllla, 36 months, 423 Bast
Illttonhouse street ; James Itoocenv 5 years,
(41 League street, and John Becker, 13
months, of 3643 North Marshall street.
Dr. A. A. Cairns, chief medical Inspector,
today struck an ominous note when he
asked all physicians, through tho news
papers, to please report their cases to the
health department as rapidly an they diag
nose them, and as early In the day as they
can. He Intimated that the health de
partment expects to be Just about as busy
as It wilt be humanly posslblo to be, nnd
he wants all the nsslstance physicians can
give.
Doctor Calms has definitely abandoned
his bollef that an adult cannot carry tho
disease, even though being himself with
out It, and has decided that In several cases
ndults have carried It In tho case of the
Downing girl, ho believes It was brought
from Now York by her father, a hotel dc
tecttvo over there, and he has decided to
make n quarantine In all caBes absolute,
He will permit no one In s house where
the disease has gained a foothold, and the
bread-winner In the family wilt not bo al
lowed to go to work. The quarantine will
be as absolute as In a case of smallpox.
The Hunting Park section up In tho
Forty-third Ward has been very proline ns
a placo to catch tho disease, Doctor
Cairns has learned, and he Is warning par
ents to keep their children away from there
while ho Investigate. One of the deatliB to
day and tho new case of Virginia Kllno aro
In that section. Virginia has an older sister
by one year who was 111 tho other day, but
who recovered. Nevertheless tho doctors are
doctors are watching her cloncly lest sho
watching her closely lost sho suffer a re
lapso which turns Into this dread disease
Of the eight deaths this year, all but one
hnvo boon this month. Of tho forty-two
cases forty-ono have been this month.
Ralph S. Strassburger fled from New York
to his estate near Norrlstown yesterday,
using his fathor-ln-law's yacht to moke tho
trip. Mrs. Strassburgor Is tho daughter of
Frederick G. Bourne, of Now York.
Tho Strasburgera were on tho Bourno
estate In Long Island A gardener's child
on tho eotate was stricken. Although Mr.
Strassburger's Infant son did not come
within half a mile of tho sick child, his
fathor took no chances, and he got In touch
with tho yacht by wlrolcss, getting hero
last night.
Doctor Cairns Is seeing to It that If
parents lack In tho least way the proper
fncllltios nnd means to copa with tho dis
ease tho children aro takon to tho Munici
pal Hospital. He has also satisfied himself
that an adult can transmit tho dlseaso from
ono child to another without Buffering him
self. Heretofore ha thought this was not
poBslblc.
Getting children out of Now York nnd
Brooklyn is no easy matter, becauso tho
authorities aro bound they wilt not allow
the Infantllo paralysis spread if thero Is any
posslblo way of preventing It.
Mrs Martha Shancr and her 6-year-old
granddaughter, Tittle Shaner, Sixty-first
and Rcedland Btroets, Philadelphia, had a
hard time leaving Brooklyn and getting
home. Threo special applications and per
mits had to bo granted them before they
wero allowed to leave New York.
In the first placo nn application was
sent to the Department of Health, City of
Now York, Baying:
"I hereby apply for a certificate that
there has been no caso of poliomyelitis at
my residence, 312 East Eighth street, Bor
ough of Brooklyn " This is signed by Mrs.
Shaner. Attached to that application Is
a certificate that the house has never had
a caso In It. It Is signed by a New York
medical Inspector. This la accompanied
by a health certificate from Dr. J. B. Given,
463 Ninth strcot, who says: "This Is to
certify that I have examined Tlllle Shaner,
6 years old, of Philadelphia, and bellove
her in normal health."
"But this Is not nit. In order to be allowed
to como to Philadelphia there must be yet
another certificate addressed to the health
officer, Philadelphia This bears the permit
to allow persons to go through and Is
Btnmped In red Ink, "examined and passed."
Osteopaths Leave for Convention
A delegation of Philadelphia osteopaths,
headed by Dr. John II, Bnllay, havo left
tho city to attend the annual convention
of the American Osteopathic Association,
which will be held In Kansas City this
week. Members of tho party are Dr. Ivan
B. Dufur, Dr. Nettle S. Turner, Dr. S. P.
noss. Dr. W, A Flack, Dr. W S Ntcholl
and Dr. A. R. Frltzl. Doctors Bailor, Dufur

SOLDIER'S LETTER TELLS OF TOWN
WHERE EVERYBODY "TOTES A GUN"
Private Waggoner Writes of .Marfa, Tex., and of Presidio
Along the Rio Grande Journey Over the Plains
and Mountains of South
Mnrfa Is the city of firearms, according
to George J. Waggoner of Company 13, of
the Second Regiment, who calls It the last
clvlllred placo which ho and the boya of
Company E and Company F passed through
on their way to their prcsont Btatlon, Pre
sidio, Tex.
"There Is one striking thing nbout Marfa
that strangers can not help noticing," says
Private Waggoner In a letter to the Evbn-
IN(1 LBDOEn.
''Everybody carries a gun. Here one scos
a cowboy carrying his In the approved cow
boy fashion. Hero Is n portly gray-haired
gentleman coming from his bank, who, no
he Moons tn zet Into his carriage, shown a
big pcarl-h.indlod revolver sticking from
his pocket. Hore an automobile drives up
to a store with a carbine slung on mo run
ning board. Alt kinds of guns, from tho big
long-barreled rifles, cnrblncB, automatics
and huge horso pistols to dainty pearl-nan-died
revolvers carried by tho womon folk
And every ono looks ns If ho or she would
know how to handlo them If occasion should
require,"
PrUato Waggoner tells of tho departure
and trip to tho new Btatlon nt Presidio as
follows:
"We had left tho rest of the regiment nt
El Paso, spent tho night on tho train and
awakened the next morning to find our
selves at Atarfa, Tex. To ono not ac
quainted with tho Texas border the name
Marfa means nothing. But to us fellows,
located as we aro now, Marfa stands ns our
last remaining link to ch Dilation,
"Wo camped for a day on the outskirts
of tho town, a three-mlnuto march from the
station, and proceeded to spend what
turnod out to be our last day In a regular
place. By a regular placo wo mean ono
where wo can buy Ice cream, fresh fruit nnd
n squnre meat and whero one enn sco white
peoplo not In khaki uniform, who aro no
clable nnd hospitable, nnd whero we can do
any number of things supposed to bo synon
ymous with our twentieth century civiliza
tion. "Such n town was Marfa, Tex Tho next
day tho battalion was split In hnlf. One
half stayed In Marfa and tho other half. In
cluding tho writer, wan ordered to Presidio.
The distance from Marfa to Presidio Is ex
actly 72 miles, nnd considering that there
aro no railroad connections, that Is "homo
miles.' The only mean3 of transportation
Is by motortruck, nnd wo were loaded on
said trucks, which would not havo been so
bad had they not already been loaded.
"In our truck this load happened to be
nbout 7000 pounds of lumber. We got off
to a flying Btnrt and for the first two hours
everything was lovely. Tho rond was
smooth, that Is, considering, and tho lum
ber behaved, but then wo hit tho mountains
nnd the going bocame rough. Tho road
hero was, to say tho least, 'uneven,' nnd
each tlmo tho car hit a rut we left tho car
a few seconds. But every tlmo wo came
back tho lumber was there to greet us.
Sometimes 1 think It oven followed us part
of tho way. And when I tell you wo wero
seated, you can readily Imagine with what
Infinite enjoyment wo returned each time
to said lumber.
"But in tho mountains the scenery wns
wonderful. Now wo were climbing some
steep nscent that tried tho engine of tho
big truck to the limit; now wo were coast
ing down tho other sldo, skinning 'along
tho edgo of a chasm deep enough to ruin
our chariot and splatter us over tho ad
jacent scenery If our driver went one foot
out of tho way. In tho valloys and level
placos, and even on some the more gradual
slopes, hundrccli of hend3 of cattle wero
peacefully grazing, while tho whole way
was dotted hero and thero with skeletons
of steers which had run nfoul of rattle
snakes or In some other way had passed
over the bovine Jordan.
"After six hours of riding and bumping
wo nrrtved nbout 2 o'clock nt Shatter, a llt
tlo town In the mountains, 22 miles from our
destination, whero wo had lunch consisting
of bread, cheese, sardines, oranges, cakoa
and water. The commissary served the
bread, wo bought the cheese, sardines, calces
and oranges, nnd tho town furnished tho
water.
"The most abject sights I havo ever seen
wore tho burros along the way. They wero
owned by Mexicans, who never fod them or
cared for them, but simply turned them
loose to work out their own salvation, and
mbst of them seem to have failed, for they
stood by the road absolutely motionless,
head hanging and their whole appearance
giving one the Impression that they would
welcome any end to their troubles. Thoy
did not oven move from the way of tho
trucks, and we narrowly missed hitting
several until. Just as we were leaving Shaf
fer, one was directly In the road, and tho
driver, olther thinking he would move, or

luckily for us tho Mexicans made no hostile

very little to them, and we continued on our
way.
"Tho last 20 miles wore the worst, and
flna ly, about two miles from Presidio, we
Mailed In tho sand and had to unload tho
lumber Into two relief trucks In the broiling

SHAKE-UP IMMINENT
IN MOTION PICTURES
New Type of Organization In
vading Photoplay
World
By the Photoplay Editor
la tho photoplay Industry In for an eco
nomic BhnUe-up bigger than any slnco the
feature film program knocked the bottom
from under tho Bhort-suujcct production?
It Is easy to say yea; for thero aro a
dozen signs of dissatisfaction with the
present production and releasing system.
But, Just becauso thero nro bo many evi
dences of discontent, it is hard to say Just
which way the new movement will turn.
Thero Is tho "Stato rights" question, for
Instance. Onco tho selling of fenturo film
rights to ngonts or exchanges In certain
limited territories was on a par with the
mnrlcctlng of features practically direct to
exhibitors on a rental b.-inti through the
big program companies. Stnte rights lost
out temporarily. Now It seems coming
back, whllo tho "closed program" wains.
The big films, like "Tho Birth of n Na
Hon," which can only be handled on a State
rights basis, aro steadily Incrennlng In
number. "Tho Fall of a Nation," "Ha
mona," "Civilization" nnd many more
awaiting release will all be Bold Stato by
State, while medium-sized productions, like
"Tho Ne'er Do "Well" or productions fea
turing distinguished stars, like "Klsmot,"
with Otis Skinner; "Sherlock Holmes,"
with 'William Oilletto; "Macbeth." with Sir
Herbert Tree, are all being disposed of on
a Stato rights basis.
This tendency toward specialization In
"big pictures" Is bolng complicated by a
revival of Interest in short subjects. Tho day
of ths five-part feature ns a monopolist
of tho best energy of the Industry Is over.
The Metro Is putting out a series of one
reel comedies with Sidney Drew, Max Flg
man and Ralph Herz to fill up Its pro
grams. It has also added travel pictures.
The Triangle Is putting out two and three
reel films with De Wolf Hopper, Bessie
Love, Douglas Fairbanks, Fay Tlncher,
Mabel Normand, eta The Paramount has
added three exceptionally good series of
short subjects: The Burton Holmes
travelogs, the Bray cartoons and silhouettes
and the Paramount Plctographs. Almost
all tho other big programs havo byproducts
of some sort.
Tleturntng to the five-part pictures, there
are now companies forming, like the B. S.
Moss organization, to make and market a
film a month on a Stato rights basis, with
out any particular emphasis on size or
spectacular nature; while the V, L. S. E.
pictures, though not sold to men controlling
State rights, aro marketed on what Is
called nn "open booking" basis. Tho ex
hibitor Is not compelled to tie up for ono
complete program. He buys what he wanti
as-he might from a State rights agent,
TtTere 'a much agitation for the extension
of the system.
But most Importnnt of all seems to bo
tho development lead by Lewis J. Selznlck,
and lately backed up by alliances with Her
bert Brenon and Stanley V. Mastbaum,
It Is the marketing of a once-a-month fea
tureguaranteed In qunllty by either star,
producer or story, or by all three direct
to the exhibitor, and at a considerabls
advance In price.
Shoots Himself; Falls Into Pond
To make death doubly sure, Isaac Taylor,
38 years old, of 20(3 Wakellng street, shot
himself In the temple while leaning over tho
edge ot a deep pond at Powder Mill lane and
Wood street. His body Bank into the water.
Ho left a note with his name and address
on top of his coat and hat on the bank,
The note was found yesterday by John
draul, a farmer, who notified the police
of the Front and "Westmoreland streets sta
tion. A squad of policemen, headed by Ser
geant Itenz, recovered Taylor's body. A
revolver was found with him, containing one
empty cartridge, Taylor had been miss
ing since Saturday morning.

FOOD AND NO PRACTICE
Bitter Comment on Exper!en,
During Cruise, on Which They
Had to Eat Tainted Meat
and Stale Vegetables
TAUGHT TO SWAB DECtfS
Pennsylvania naval militiamen, many oi
whom aro Phlladelphlans, who returned
Saturday afternoon front a two weeks'
practice cm I so on tho United States etuleer
Chicago, made bitter complaints tdday of
tho treatment they received on board, alleg
Ing that they were Instructed In hothlng
hut the accomplishments of swabbing" decks
nnd sandpapering whaleboats, and that as
far as any posslblo preparedness for work
In tho navy In cose of war was concerned,
they might as well have remained home.
Their most serious Indictment wits Upon
the food served them. Ths menu, they
say, consisted In the main of tainted and
Ill-smelling liver, beef.Btew made frorri
bad beef, and navy beans. They received
nothing In the way of fresh vegetables nor
nny desserts during tho cruise. The butter
could be detected at long rnnge and was
absolutely uneatable. Fortunately the bread
was good, and tho tea nnd coffee drinkable,
so that the major portion of the 114 regular
ly enlisted men and the 61 militiamen
aboard wero ablo thus partially to satisfy
their hunger.
In addition to the poor quality ot Ill
cooked food, the quantities served wero out
of porportlon to the appetites of healthy
young men. Upon ono occnsslon when flap
jacks were served at breakfast mess, there
were not enough to go nroundj and no
moro wero procurable.
The men complained, too, of tho fact thai
they were denied shore leave except In on
Instanco nt Hampton Itoads. Their vessel
lay out In tho Delaware opposite Jtace street
wharf from tho time they embarked Sat
urday, July 1G, until Monday afternoon,
July 17, and then proceeded to Delaware
Breakwater, whero they lay for a full week
of Inaction and lack of practice In any rudi
ments of naval work save polishing brats,
washing decks and sandpapering gunwales.
Lieutenant (Junior grade) A. F, Clement,
tho militiamen say, was arrogant as a
czar and compelled the men to perform
menial tasks with lordly mien. 'When ths
men left the ship upon return to Philadel
phia Saturday they cheered Lieutenant
Nlles. second In commnnd ; Doctor Byder
and the enlisted men, but Ignored the com
manding odlcer entirely.
Tho men say they are prepared to- fur
nish affidavits In quantity In support ot
their complaints, It necessary, and that aa
evidence of tho truth of their statements
not one militiaman volunteered when tho
commanding officer called for volunteers for
the target practice crulso that Is to take
place on Labor Day. Bnforo tho cruise, they
contend, every, man would have gladly of
fered for this service.
Tho naval militiamen contend there wera
only two cooks for the 01 men ot their
complement and that in every sense ap
parently everything possible was done to
deter civilians from over willingly taking;
another cruise on the Chicago. Other mili
tiamen who wero on the Rhode Island re
ceived thorough Instruction and plenty of
good food, they said.
