Deaths In Philadelphia 6
The first martyr In the war of medical
cteneo against Infantile paralysis was
claimed today -when the mysterious dis
ease killed Dr. Karl Curt s Peck, as
sistant chief resident physician of the
Philadelphia Hospital for Contagious Dis
eases, -where 200 babies and children, vic
tims of the epidemic, are housed. He was
24 years old.
Unstinting labor, day and night, over the
little cripples who were brought lo the hos-
plUI sapped the vitality of the young phy
sician so that he fell prey to the disease
which he worked to check. Death came at
8:30 o'clock this morning1, after four days
or Illness.
"irAnTYR." KRUHEN DECLARES.
"Doctor Peck died a martyr to the
cause." said Dr. Wllmer Krusen. Director
of Public Health and Charities, In announc
ing the death today. "His constitution was
undermined by tho unselfish way In which
tit irave of hi talents,"
Doctor Peck became 111 Friday, appar
ently from ovtrwork. He crew steadily
worse and yesterday his case was diag
nosed as Infantile paralysis by Dr 8. S.
Woody, chief assistant physician, and Dr.
Theodore Le Boutllller. of the visiting staff.
In spite of every known method of saving
him he sank rapidly. His case was of the
bulbular type, physicians said, his respira
tion being affected.
The death of Doctor Peck, who was a
graduate of the Jefferson .Medical College,
created a profound depreon-un among the
health chiefs who are directing the fight
against the plague and among the work
ers. Gloom entered the waits of the hos
pital group at Second and Luzerne streets,
where the young physician worked and died.
Doctor Peck came to Philadelphia from
tils home In Newtown. Conn., In 1910 to en
ter the. Jefferson Medical College. He was
graduated In 1314 and was appointed to the
Philadelphia Hospital for Contagious Dis
eases ns an Interne, working In the scarlet
fever and diphtheria wards.
After six months he was transferred to
the Germantown Hospital, and on July IS
of this year was appointed by Director
Krusen to the post of assistant chief resi
dent physician of the Philadelphia Hos
pital for Contagious Diseases. He was a
member of the ,Vu Sigma Nu medical fra
ternity, the Keen Surgical Society and the
Jfew England Club.
No arrangements for the funeral have
been mads, but It Is probable that the body
wll be burled In Philadelphia until cold
weather, when It will be sent to his home
In Newtown. This l.i In. accordance with
the State quarantine regulation. Doctor
Peck Is survived by his mother. Sirs. Mar
shall Peck, of Newtown.

Dixon said. Doctor Rucker arrived yester

ory of former Governor Pennypacker, whoss

County fairs have provided a source of
worry for the health authorities, following
the rule that no child under IS years of

gallons representing these fairs to endeavor
to have the rule changed. Doctor Dixon
said today. Their visits have been and will
continue to be fruitless, he said.
Doctor Dixon was notified today that the
Catholic churches of Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh. Erie, Harrlsburg, Scrantorv and

WASHINGTON, Sept 6. With allied
diplomats In Washington protesting aga'iist
retaliatory legislation already enacted by
Congress to offset the British blacklist, the
Senate today struck two more blows.
Amendments adopted to the revenue bill
arc likely, some officials believe, to result
In official objections taking the place of the
private though posime protests against re
taliation which certain diplomats here have
expressed.
The first act today was passage of Sen
ator Thomas's amendment to the revenue
bill empowering the President to retaliate
against any belligerent commerce ship that
discriminates against American shippers and
exporters.
The second was adoption of Senator
Phelan's amendment to the same measures
refusing rights of the United States malls
or the facilities of any Interstate express
company or of any wireless, telegraph or
cable company to the citizens of belligerent
countries which discriminate against Amer
icans. Both amendments expllcity empower the
President to take these steps "whenever,
during existence of a war In which the
United States Is not engaged, the President
shall be satisfied there Is reasonable
.ground to believe" belligerent Governments
have denied all lawful rights to all Amer
ican citizens.
Violations of both proposed laws are
punishable by fines of 10.000 or two years"
Imprisonment or both. Both admittedly
arc retaliatory measures against Great
Britain's blacklist and seizure and deten
tion of malls.
Thomas's amendment was drawn with
the approval of the State Department and
the President Is empowered by Its terms to
use "any part of the land nnd naval forces
he deems necessary" to uphold It It Is ad
mittedly an emergency measure aimed
directly nt the British blacklist, and was
put through after the Senate had been In
formed diplomacy had failed to obtain re
lief for blacklisted American firms.
The clause giving the President pow,er to
use the army nnd navy was Inserted. Its
backers explained, to fight possible seizure
of American ships or further discriminatory
action against American firms In belligerent
countries.
The amendment adopted today Is more
vigorous than that recently Inserted in the
Government shipping bill. The latter merely
gives the Secretary of the Treasury power to
withhold clearance of any vessel that die
criminates against Americans. No penalty
is auacnea.
"The shipping bill amendment," said
Thomas today, "Is merely a piece of general
legislation. It Is admittedly not specific nor
vigorous enough to meet tho emergency
caused by the British blacklist The amend
ment to the revenue bill furnishes the
needed bite that should eRmlnato discrim
ination against American shippers and exporters."
