The Philadelphia ferrlt present one of
the greatest problem In enforcing the quar
antine: It Is estimated thtt 6000 children
entered this city from Camden early last
evening and thai they cotilJ hare taken up
their, reatdence here before the quarantine
becntne effective. Eighteen Inspectors have
n6wbeen detailed to the work at the ferr es
under Dr. Samuel O. DUon. State Commis
sioner of Health. ...
Virtually the entire Pennsylvania border
is hoir being patrolled on the north, east
nd outh to prevent the entrance of chil
dren from other States, but the city author
ities are continuing the efforts to stamp out
the acourge which has taken it lives In
Philadelphia since July 1, and has attacked
more than 100 others.
'Only seven of the victims of the disease
re being treated In their homes, the re
mainder having been sent chiefly to the
Philadelphia Hospital for Contagious Dis
eases, which. Doctor Calrne said today. Is
in no danger of becoming overcrowded. The

Sixty medical Inspectors of the public
schools will aid the campaign against the
scourge, provided the Board of Education
gtvea Its permission. Dr. Wllmer Krusen.
Director of the Department of Health and
Charities, said he believed all of the In
spectors would volunteer their services.
These men are specially trained In this sort
of work.
PlATOnOUNDS INSPECTED.
Medical Inspectors began today the rigid
inspection of all the playgrounds In the
city. Every playground In Philadelphia
will be Inspected dally, the children plrfy
ing there will be examined and whenever
necessary tho grounds will be fumigated.
Medical Inspectors under Dr. A. A. Cairns,
chief medical Inspector, who hav. been
called back from their vacations, have, with
a few exceptions, reported for duty Doctor
Cairns and the Inspectors will discuss today
aomo means of Isolating spota that are
thought to be centers of contagion.
The railroads arc co-operating with tho
health authorities, and conductors have been
Instructed to demand health certificates from
children at the time their tickets are col-
The original purpose of the State Health
department was to quarantine only against
'children coming Into this State from Nen
Tork and New Jersey, but It was decided
Yesterday to add Delaware and Maryland
to the list becauso It was feared that an
attempt would be made to evade the quar
antine by making an entrance Into the
State through Delaware and Maryland. As
the border quarantine now stands It Is one
of the most stringent health measures ever
adopted In this State.
That the ravages of the plague arc not
condned to this city, is shown by reports
from other sections of the State. One death
and a new case was reported from Easton
and a new caao in Bristol and one In Scran
ton. Everywhere a horror of the disease has
been aroused and health officers are finding
ready co-operation In all quarters. Moving
picture theater managers are co-operating
by barring children under the age of 16.
That sufficient money for the paralysis
campaign will be provided by the city was
assured Doctor Krusen by Joseph P. Gaff
ney. 'chairman of Councils' Finance Com
mittee. The problem will be attacked from a med
ical point of view at meetings of the eight
branches of the County Medical Society,
which will be called by Dr. John D. McLean,
-president of that body. He and Doctor
iLAUnuen discussed this matter today.
The medical authorities will have the full
co-operation of the police. Policemen will
be assigned to watch all quarantined nomas,
thus leaving the medical Inspectors free to
do other preventive work.
Health officers along the Main Line and
in other suburban districts are aroused to
preventive work. Sand-piles in playgrounds
are being disinfected, as are all breeding
spots for flies.'
In Camden, where the disease has caused
several deaths, 'the health authorities have
asked the railroads to co-operate by the
frequent fumigation of cars, with a special
view to killing files, either by disinfection
or by "swatting." It Is believed that files
may be carriers of the disease germs.
Under the rules of the State quarantine
all persons more than 16 years of age will be
passed by Inspectors without health certifi
cates. Children under 16 years will be
passed only when they have certificates from
health authorities stating that they are
from nonlnfected districts and have not
been In contact In any way with Infantile
paralysis. Children who have lived on
premises where there was Infantile pa
ralysis will be passed only when the cer
tificate certifies that they have been under
medical supervision for 14 days and have
.been regularly discharged. Before chil
dren who come from stricken districts are
passed the medical Inspector Is Instructed
to obtain the address In the stricken dis
trict, the destination, the name of the
householder at destination, the name of the
traveling companions and, if traveling by
automobile, the license number.
Children who are not passed by the In
spectors must be escorted across the State
border andpteC free In the State from which
they came. 'Inspectors are instructed to
arrest any adults and children making re
sistance and to take them before the near
est magistrate, charging them with vio
lation or a Pennsylvania statute.
The following quotation from the order
is of special Interest:
"Persons who have been temporarily at
large hotels or apartment houses. In which
there Is or has been a case of Infantile par
alysis, will not be considered as having
lived In premises In which there Is or has
been a case of Infantile paralysis, unless. In
the opinion of the health authorities Issuing
the certificate, they may have been actually
exposed and such fact Is speedily noted on
the certificate.
"Commuters' certificates Issued by the
Pennsylvania Department of Health or local
health authorities of Pennsylvania, must be
accepted by our officers, provided they have
been countersigned or redated eery 10
days after the date of Issue.
"One or two day excursion certificates
issued by the Department of Health or local
health authorities of Pennsylvania must be
accepted by our officers at any time up to
48 hours after the same has been used.
"Both commute' certificates and one
and two day special certificates are good
for both leaving and returning to the State.
Harry Lutx. 10 years old, of 3840 Syden
ham street, who was believed to have died
from infantile paralysis, was today found
to have been a victim of meningitis. After
his death. Doctor Cairns had the Coroner
make an autopsy. It was learned that the
child while playing 'tag" a few days ago
truck his head against a lamppost and this
blow was a factor in the development of
meningitis.

RESPECT FOR U. S. RIGHTS.
"Wo have had an exhibition during the

It that American rights In Mexico are re

course toward upholding American rights

It was "Inexcusable." Mr. Hughes as

"You cannot have that pride, you cannot

if it is something which is not worthy of

"There is no one who could successfully
present to an American community the
platform that an American citizen's rights
stopped with the coast line, and that the

COP GIVES BLOOD FOR COMRADE
HE WOUNDED BY ACCIDENTAL SHOT
Front and Westmoreland
Streets Station Policemen
Fast Friends After Sacri
fice for Life
The accidental shot that sent Patrolman
Kline, of tho Front and Westmoreland
streets station, to the Episcopal Hospital,
figuratively Introduced him lo Patrolman
Ernest Auty. of the same district, and, nl
thnueh ud to that time the two men had
known little of each other, the subsequent
developments have been of such a character
that between them there Is every Indication
of a growing friendship ultimately to equal
that of David and Jonathan providing
Kllno recovers.
If he doesn't recover he already has
exonerated his new-found friend of any
responsibility for tho, shooting.
"It was purely art accident,-" he told
Magistrate Wrlglcy and a central headquar
ter's detective during the first moments of
consciousness since the accident
Auty was at the Episcopal Hospital when
Kline made that statement He and the
Magistrate and the central office detective
were the only ones In the room as the
stricken man tried to give a version of tho
accident. His words came slowly and la
borlously. but they agreed, according to
the- police, with those used by Auty when he
narrated the incidents leading up to the
tragedy.
There wasn't much to be told, Kline said.
except that he and Auty nnd a roomful of
other policemen were examining a new re
volver: that Auty didn't know it was load
ed; that Auty pulled the trigger, and that
then Kline staggered to the floor with a
bullet In his neck.
That much Klein remembered. He had
not yet heard of the sacrifice made by
Auty, a man who had never spoken more
than half a dozen wordn to the other up
to that time. But now the Magistrate put
ting a hand on Auty's shoulder, told Kclln
how Auty had endeavored to atono for his
pnrt In the accident
When surgeons nt the Episcopal Hos
pital examined Kline, they discovered that
he had not the slightest chance of recov
ery unless somebody offered his own blood.
"I m the man you want." Auty had said,
quietly. "At least I can do that much for
him"
And a few moments afterward Auty lay
on a cot beside that of Kline's, while sur
geons transferred 22 ounces of blood from

SIX STRIKERS ARRESTED.
Six uniformed strikers, who were arrested
early this morning In the vicinity of Cedar
street and Allegheny avenue after the police
had received complaints of stones and
bricks being hurled at trolley cars, were
released by Magistrate Beaton In Central
Station with a warning that they would be
allowed to continue their picket dtuy as long
as they were orderly.
The detectives who arrested the men were
unable to prove that they were guilty of
throwing the bricks and stones. Henry
John Nelson, who represented them, cited
to the magistrate legal precedents for their
right to do picket duty and declared that as
it could not be proved that they had com
mitted any acts of violence they should not
be held.

USE OF

Pennsylvania Guards Grate
ful to General, Who Spares
Them Hard Labor
HIGHWAY STAYS DUSTY
By CARL L, ZEISBERG
Bvtrtno Ltdotr tlioff Corrtttondnt
EL PASO. Tex.. Aug. 8.-'Dk .or not
dobe. that Is tho question. Whether It la
nobler to suffer the bumps and dust of a
terrible road or to glide smoothly ocr n
wonderful highway of genuine adobo has
been settled In favor of the dust nnd bumps.
In other words, when Uncle Sam decided
that Pennsylvania guardsmen mint not bo
compelled to do excessive manual labor as
dUlslon headquarters intended ?"'':
elded In favor of an adobe road from Fort
Bliss to Camp Stewart). Undo Sam perhaps
unconsciously consigned division headquar
ters and three-quarters of the ength of the
camp to continued dust and the travelers
on tho Alamogordo road to continued jolt-
""' NO MONET PROVIDED.
The perfect road of ndobo soil, water and
straw, which was planned, the labor to bo
supplied by the regiments, wm noi uH uu..j.
The soldiers will not bo allowed to work
on It thi Manana Mexican laborers will
not work for nothing and Uncle Sam has
not appropriated a single peso for the road.
So. after all, all potential road west of
camp probably will be touched up here and
there by a small detail of men under Lieu
tenant Foster, assigned to tho now tangled
problem of a highway lo Camp Stewart
The enlisted men are not sorry. Dust
In billows and cloudB Is far more welcome
than hours of hard labor under a hot
sun and above stifling dust They were
rescued from this fate by an order which
came after Major General Bliss's visit and
Inspection.
They aro thanking General Bliss, Justly
or unjustly. Their original "My Llttlo Pick
nnd Shovel" song Is chanted triumphantly'
now and tho Philadelphia boys' jokes about
their life being similar to that of em
ployes of certain South Philadelphia con
tractors aro bubbling more spontaneously
Soldiers aro soldiers after all, not la
borers. The dusty road behaved Itself last
night probably out of deference to the
"party" given by General Clement to his
brigadier generals, colonels and other com
manders In charge of separate units. Un
til a late hour, long after the cooks nnd
waiters had retired, the Third Regiment
Band played soothing music and the "har
mony" meeting progressed. Every guest,
who had been Invited was present to parv
tako of the meal, It was announced tri
umphantly. Colonel Allen's First Regiment was 'In
spected today by General Clement and his
staff.

Quartz Company Adopts Novel Plan to
Promote Temperance
Officials and the 300 employes of tho
Philadelphia Quartz Company, of 121 South
Third street, declare that, temperance pays.
More than two years ago officials of the
company hit upon a plan of promoting
temperance among the employes. It was
decided to make s. 10 per cent Increase In
tho wages of those employes who would
agree to sign n pledge. At first the sign
ing was purely voluntary, but now every
person who enters the employ of the com
pany Is expected to do so. On tho other
hand, the method of keeping check on em
ployes Is purely honorary.
"Its benefits, both to us and to the men,
have been manifold," said Howard Elkln
ton, of the sales department of the com
pany. "For the men It has resulted In
oetter pay and greater opportunities for
their families, while for us It has meant
fewer accidents and a greater output of
work."
