PUT UNDER QUARANTINE
Contlnned from Pane One
tnte yesterday by Dr. P. A. McCarthy, of
Oermantown.
In spite of strlncent preventive regula
tions, Infantile paralysis has nppeared In
Northmont. near Mount Kphrrtlm, N. J.,
where 4 -year-old J. Frank Hunter, Jr., Is
etrlclten and In a critical condition. Pnr
ftiysls developed late yesterday after an
Illness of two days. The first case for Had
don Heldhts also was reported today, tho
victim belnir 3-yenr old Kllznbeth Mc
Klnley, daughter of Charles McKlnley, of
West High street. The entire block was
ciunrnntlned.
TWO r-ANOHOIlNB CASES.
Two cases of Infantile para'ysls were
reported In Langhorno borough. The Vic
tims nre 7-year-old Dorothy Hothermcl and
4-year-old Klwood J. Waht. The presence
of thp epidemic In Lnnghorno resulted In
tho placing nf a strict quarantine nrtalnRt
tho entry of children from that borough
Into tho borough of South nanghorne. In
turn, the Lnnghorne Hoard of Health has
quarantined against Bristol, where the sec
ond case In that township wns reported.
Tho victim Is Donjamln D. llooz, 1C months
old, son of James M, Hooz. In Southamp
ton township a son of Walter Sobastlne Is
It with the disease.
Tho ense of Catherine Maralump, 2 ',4
yeara old, of 2120 South Philip street, which
18 now under observation, was brought to
tho attention of Dr. A. A. Calms, chief
medical Inspector of tho Hureau of Health,
through one of tho anonymous letters post
ing health authorities on cases thnt had
not been discovered. Christian Craig, 8
months old. of Duval and Nash streets,
another victim, Is the son of the cnretnltcr
ot tho Oermantown cstnto of Mm. J. W. M.
Gordeza,
A case thnt Is being watched with tho
greatest Interest In that of an adult, Chnrlea
Hickman, of 2107 Tasker street. He worked
In a restaurant until Sunday, tho day ho
becamo 111.
Healtlvomclals today refuted the state
ment of T)r. W. Wallaeo Krltz, president
of tho Nntlonal Association of Druglesi
PhyslcIanB, that bacteria docs not cause
Infantile paralysis nnd that 85 per cent of
tho cases reported nro tho ordinary Bummer
complaints of Infants.
Doctor Calms pointed to tho records of
tho Bureau of Vital Statistics, which show
tho eauso of dentil of children under 2 years
of nge. During tho plnguo weeks, beginning
July 21, 272 deaths caused by entrltls nnd
diarrhea are chronicled, In nddltlon to those
caused by paralysis. Hvcry enso In doubt
Is classed as "suspicious" until It Is abso
lutely known that paralysla has actually
appeared, Doctor Cairns stated.
In connection with Doctor Fritz's state
ment that not ns many deaths liavo been
cauced during the present epidemic as In
1910, Doctor Calms showed tho table of
deaths from Infantile paralysis since that
year:

"It Is hardly worth while refuting Doctor
Fritz's contention that bacteria do not cause
hto disease." said Doctor Campbell. "He
putable physicians are ngrecd that a germ
causes It."
A warning against eating raw fruit,
which he believes may be a carrier of In
fantile paralysis germs, wus Issued today
by Stato Health Commissioner Samuel Q.
Dixon.
Doctor Dixon loft today for Washington
to attend a meeting ot representatives of
State Health Departments from all over
tho count-y, called by Acting Surgeon Gen
eral Arthur II. Ghcnnan, to discuss Infan
tllo paralysis, but beforo leaving he said
that Indications pointed ij uncooked fruit
us a carrier of tho dread anterior polio
myelitis germs.
Four moro deathH and 20 new cases were
reported In this city yesterday, nnd physi
cians say that this Indicates that the theory
that cool weather would reduce the extent
of tho epidemic was unwarraned.
SECOND VICE RAID

Acting Director of Publlo Safety Harry
C. Davis, who, under oath, has testified
that he wob nothing but a "messenger
boy" in the Department of Publlo Safety,
said he know nothing about gamblers and
certain denteens of tho Tenderloin coming
back to their old haunts.
"If tho gamblers are back It Is nil news
to me and then I never tIIbcuss such things
before breakfast," said Davis.
"What precautions nre you taking to pre
vent gamblers and proprietors of dives from
doing business ngaln7" Davis was nskod.
"It's too early In the morning to speak
about such matters," replied Davis with a
chuckle, as he hung up tho telephone re
ceiver. Along tho central part of the city such
celebrities as "Moe"' Welnbeck. alleged

JULES MASTBAUM
A lnborntory for the study of in
fantile paralysis is being con
structed at the Jewish Hospital.
It is tho gift of Mr. Mnstbnum,
who is a director of tho institution.
PARALYSIS LABORATORY
IS GIFT OF MASTBAUM
Real Estate Man Donates Ap
paratus for Study of Baby
Malady To Rush Work
A l.ilu.rnrnrf for tlm KtlCclflC purpose Of
study Inc Infantile paralysis, tho gift of Jules
Mnstbaum, of Mnstbnum Brot. & Fletcher,
Is being constructed nt tho Jewish Hospital
Work on n pathological laboratory Is
being rushed. Modern nppnratus for tho
study of disease will be Instnllcd and tho
work of lnvcstlgntlnK the cnuso and pre
vention of this dreaded children's plnguo
will be organized. It Is believed that It
will bo possible to find n serum which will
prove effective In tho treatment ot nntcrlor
poliomyelitis.
Mr. Mnstbaum Is one of "tho directors of
tho Jewish Hospital. His Interest hnB been
nroused In tho scourge which hns wrought
such havoc nmong tho children of Now
York. Philadelphia nnd othor cities, and the
establishment nf a modern research lab
oratory was decided on by him. Tho work
to be carried on hero will not bo confined
to Infnntllo paralysis, but other diseases
will bo studied from time to tlmo.
"Science will undoubtedly discover n re
lief. If not nn absolute cure, for Infantile
parnlyslH," Mr. Mastbaum said In speaking
of tho laboratory, "and it will be moro
quickly found If n united effort Is made
by the centralization of tho bruins of fa
mous practitioners, who may experiment to.
gether and rccelvo and offer the results of
such combined skill ns will bo sure to lis
semlilo In tho new lnborntory. Personally,
I hnvo made n study ot tho havoc wrought
by Infantllo paralysis nnd reached tho con
clusion that the most effective method to
pursue would bo the building of n. labora
tory for the promotion or rescarcn wont
along tho lines of thoso practiced by tho
Rockefeller Institute In N'ew York.
"There must ho a sorum that will blot out
the scourge, and tho only way of discover
ing It Is to cet.the combined experlenco and
study ot tho most eminent medical men,
provide them with every known Invention
that may have any benrlng on effecting a
euro and lot them work It out together. I
even hope to hnvo the assistance of emi
nent men from other cities In this country
nnd Europe, and we shall not rest when wo
have found a remedy for this disease, but
will study others of a contagious or epi
domical nature."

DEMOCRATIC REVENUE
BILL HOTLY ATTACKED
Penrose and Other Republicans
of Senate Finnnce Committee
Expose Extravagance
By n Stay CorrennonAtnt
WASHINGTON. Aug. 17. Declaring that
tho opproprlntlons of the present Congress
far exceed tho expenditures of the last
Republican Congress, which wero criticized
by tho Democrats ns cxtravagent, .Senator
Penrose, 06 Pennsylvania, and tho other
minority members of tho Senate Finance
Committee today presented a report In oppo
sition to tho proposed revenue law. Kven
nfter eliminating the amount appropriated
this year for preparedness, the Ilcpubllcnns
nsscrt, the expenditures nro much larger
than those mntlo uhllo they wore In power.
it is not tho purpose of the minority In
this
iviin to give siatistlrs show n tho
condition or the revenues and nnnmnrln.
tlons," say the Republican. "Full Informa
tion upon theso subjects will bo furnished
in tho debnto on the bill. It Is suUlclcnt to
call tho attention of tho country to tho fact
that tho appropriation for this session of
tongress will aggregate approximately
Jl.700.000.000, as against SI. 114,000.000 for
the s xty-lhlrd Congress, an nmount that
almost staggered tho country nt the time;
and It Is admitted that tho additional
amount appropriated nt this session for
what may bo termed 'preparedness' Is not
to exceed 3r,2.874,000, demonstrating that
entirely outsldo of preparedness this Con
gress hnq mnde appropriations for n larger
nmount than any preceding Congress,
Mnroocr, tho minority docs not feel
cnlled upon nt this time to provide sugges
tlons of ways nnd means for additional
revenue. The statement that this additional
revenuo Is needed for preparedness Is en
tire y misleading. The wasteful nnd III
ndvlsed appropriations for projects thnt
wero unnecessary, Ill-considered and cer
tnlnly not urgent, tho creation of thousands
it additional otllees and general extrava
gance In expenditures In nil departments
or the Government, together with tho failure
or existing legislation passed under the
present Administration to provide sufficient
revenue, oven under normal conditions,
places the responsibility distinctly on tho
party In power to show tho way to provide
sutllclcnt rovenues for a treasury ulrcady
fnclng a largo deficit."
