The high mortality among Infantile
paralysis lctims In this city, was shown by
the toll today when four deaths and one
new case were reported. The new case
also was a death.
Among the deaths was that of William
Schuckard, nineteen years old, of 2934
West Thompson street. According to Direc
tor Krusen, of the Department of Public
Health and Charities, the form of paralysis
prevalent in Philadelphia Is particularly
virulent and does not spare adults. The
death rate among victims is more than
thirty per cent. ,
The steadily increasing number of new
cases offers much encoumcement. toth city,
and State health officials said today. They
are gratified also over the Improved con
ditions of the patients.

Director Krusen left the city today to
attend the slxty-slth annual convention of
the Pennsylvania Ktato Medical Society, to
be held during Ave days of next week in
Scranton. Ills work of handling the In
fantile paralysis epidemic will be done by
Dr. A. A. Cairns, chief of the medical In
spection staff of the department.
' CALLS FOR VOLUNTEEItS
' Before he left, the Director made an
other appeal for volunteers of blood to be
used In making antl-pollomyelltls serum. lie
said that all former appeals had been an
swered promptly, but there never were
enough olunteers. The physicians want
persons who Iwie recoered from the ills
ease to ghe their blood for those now
suffering.
"It Is the best method of treating the
disease," lie said. "We have been suc
cessful with tlie serum when all other
treatments have failed. Whenever we have
appealed In the newspapers there have been
responses from the brave ones. We are
now asking again."
The success of the work of cleaning up
the olty and the co-operation of those who
have been asked to help also has encour
aged officials of the Health Department.
Much Improvement in the sanitary condi
tion of various neighborhoods has been
made and the resultant effect on .the de
ollne in the spread of the disease has been
good.
Chief McCrudden, of the division of
housing and sanitation, will distribute 5000
posters throughout The city Monday warn
ing olllzens of the regulations in the sale
ot foodstuffs. The placards will be posted
in the establishments of dealers, giving In
structions for the screening of their wares
and for handling.

The Federal Grand Jury, Immediately
following exposure ot the narootto drug
scourge In this city by the Ev-niho
Lcoarn, has swept aside precedent and
sent to the court a report urging drastlo
action to curb the constantly Increasing
traffio In morphine, heroin and cocalno.
The jury took this unusual action after
a night session In which startling revela
tions aa to the narcotic drug situation In
Philadelphia were made by officers of the
United States Internal Revenue Depart
ment. As was described In the Evknino
Lena Kit, they told how narcotic drugs are
smuggled Into Philadelphia by the hun
dred pounds and how they are dispensed to
thousands of victims by unscrupulous deal
ers, peddlers, physicians and druggists.
In Its communication to Judge Dickinson,
of the United States District Court, the Jury
recommended enactment of stringent Fed
eral and State laws to halt illegal traffic
In drugs, to punish persons guilty of sup
plying victims with narcotics and the estab
lishment ot publlo Institutions to care for
drug victims.
The Jury particularly urges drastlo action
against unscrupulous physicians, who aid
drug victims In obtaining narcotics byfssu
Ing prescriptions. 'I
In its presentment the Jury returned In
dictments against seven physicians charged
with this offense. The physicians are:
Doctor Frank-M. Hendrick, colored, who
Is Indicted on 1083 counts; Dr. Alvtn J.
Kistler, on 819 counts; Dr. William Lamb
king, on 41S counts; Dr. Howard, M. Shrl
ner, 429 counts; Dr. Frank I. Cohen, 485
counts; Dr. Cyrus C. Moore, 64 counts, and
Dr. Edwin T. Seyler, 30 counts.
The Harrison law prescribed a maxi
mum penalty of five years In prison and a
fine of 32000 for each offense, so that In
Doctor Hendrick's case, he having the moit
counts against him. If he were oonvlcted
the court could sentence hm to more than
EOOO years.
TEXT OF PRESENTMENT.
The presentment ot the Grand Jury to
the Court reads f
We, the members of the Federal
Grand Jury, desire to call your atten
tion to the very unfortunate condi
tion of affairs which seems to exist
at present In the city of Philadelphia
with regard to the Illegal traffio In
narcotic drugs. We learn from what
has been told us by witnesses that such
drugs are being sold In large quanti
ties to unfortunate users persons who
have acquired the morphine, heroin or
cocaine habits and that tho authori
ties have found It difficult to prevent
such demoralising traffic under the ex
isting laws. We understand that the
Supreme Court ot the United States
has recently decided that Congress did
not mean In tho Harrison act to pun
ish the mere user ot narcotic drugs,
but only the persons who make money
out of the same Improperly that Is,
the persons who sell directly or lndl
rectly Jo dope fiends.
We are laymen, and, of course, must
take the law from the courts, and what
the Supremo Court has decided is, of
course, the law. Moreover, as practi
cal men, we can see why the mere user
or taker of drugs should not be pun
ished. He is fit for the hospital rather
-. than the prison, unless ha has himself
sold or peddled drugs and thus made
money out of the bustness.
We believe that the distinction mode
by the Supreme Court between the
mere user and 'the dealer Is a good
and sensible one. We only wish that
the law could, be enforced more ef
fectively as against the Illicit dealer.
He ought to be punished with severity,
and we trust that the District Attor
ney will be able, by circumstantial
evidence or otherwise, to obtain con-
IdUons In proper cases. We hope that
wherever there Is evidence, direct or
Indirect, the man Is dealing and mak
ing money illegally the evidence will
be carefully considered, so this great
evil may be checked an,d the really
' guilty persons brought to Justloe.
STATE LAWS WEAK.
Our attention has been called to
the fact that the State laws do not
prohibit the Improper sale of mor
phine and heroin, as the laws that do
exist apply only to cocaine. It would
certainly appear that the State laws
should be extended, so as to prevent
the Improper traffio in morphine and
heroin, which seems to be even more
used than cocaine. We also hope that
the State authorities will make proper
provision for the care of drug habitues.
So long as there Is no adequate pro
lsion for their confinement and our
in hospitals. It would seem cruel to
make the laws more strlngen aa re
garde them.
We wish that the laws, both State
and Federal, could be made stricter as
regards them. The honest practitioner
and pharmaolst should, of course, be
allowed to handle morphine and heroin
legitimately, but they ought not to be
allowed under the mere cover of pre
scriptions to facilitate the ruin of drug
users.
We wish also that s, law might be
passed which would punish the owner
ot property who knowingly permits the
Illicit traffio in drugs to go on In his '
premises.

THOMAS MARTINDALE,
NOTED HUNTER, DEAD
Continued from Tare One
he underwent a phjslcal examination Just
previous to his leaving In July, and was
pronounced fit for the rigors ot the Journey
Mr, Marttndale remarked to friends that
he was "feeling fine" Just before he left
this city.
Thomas C. Martlndate, Jr, who Is associa
ted with tho Martlndale firm, said today
that he could not believe his. father was
dead. "There must be some mistake," he
said "I feet sure that the meaning of
the dispatch must have been ml'eonftrtieil.
Surely the family would have been notified
by Doctor Babcock, All we have heard Is
that my father was III."
HEART DISEASE SUFFERER
The -teteran sportsman had been suffer
ing from heart disease for some time and
members of his family had urged lm to
give up this trip, which proved to -e Ills
last The call ot the wild was too strong,
however, and he left this city early In
July.
The hunting expedition, which was al
most Rooseeltlan In Its msgnltude, was
proving to be one of the most successful
Mr. Marttndale had ever had, according to
word received recently from Doctor Bab
cock. Several fins specimens had been
shot. Just before the start was made the
twb hunters were Joined for a day by Mr.
and Mrs. H. S.-Pnul, Jr.. of this city, both
ardent hunters. Mrs. Paul had killed sev
eral bear near Juneau before the meeting.
Members ot the Martlndale family did
not know of Mr. Martlndaie's death until
they read It today In the newspapers. The
only messsge they had received was the one
from Doctor Babcock last Wednesday say
ing that he was suffering from erysipelas.
Mrs. Martlndale and her one son, Thomas
C, Martlndale. Jr.. have been spending the
summer at Wlldwood. The Martlndale
home there is one of the show places ot
the resort.
PLAN OF TRIP.
Mrs. J. S. Babcock, mother of Doctor
Babcock, today told of the hardships of
the trip as related to her In letters received
recently from her son.
"I cannot understand It all," Mrs. Bab
cock said. ""Mr. Martlndale and my son
both are such ardent sportsmen and were
eager to undertake this recent trip. They
met at Juneau and went from there to
Skagway and finally to Carcrbss, In Yukon
Territory, Alaska, where the real start of
the hunting expedition was to begin.
"In all It was quite a little eTpedttlon.
Accompanied by two guides, three white
men helpers and Indians, they had sit
pack horses and four dogs, each of which
oarrles a pack weighing sixty pounds on
his back. The horses and dogs are used
also to help carry or drag the game.
"The actual hunting expedition was to be
made entirely on foot. In all, they planned
to tramp more than 100 miles and entirely
in moccasins. They left their heofvy boots
behind.
"As It Is I cannot see how Mr. Martin
dale's body can reach Philadelphia betoro
ten days at leant. It will take at least
two days to reach Carcross, and from
there the trip home Is a lengthy one.
"Somehow I have had a premonition
something would happen. Naturally, be
fore I heard the newaeven, I was worried
about my son, and last night I found It
impossible to sleep from worry. The first
thing I heard this morning was about Mr.
Martlndaie's death."
WIDELY MOURNED
News ot Mr. Martlndaie's death cast a
gloom over the Poor Richard Club, 239
South Camao street Tears dimmed the
eyes of the family of William Berg, steward
of the club, who counted the intrepid hunter
as their best friend.
"I cannot reconcile myself to the thought
that Mr. Martlndale has passed away," said
Mr. Berg. "He was the finest man I ever
knew. He -askina to every one.
"Just before he left this city he came to
the club and presented me it lth a fine box
of tea. He also gave my wife a present,
and to the children he gave some toys. My
children loved him dearly because of his
many kindnesses to them.
"Somehow I had a premonition that
something was going to happen to him nnd
I said: "Mr. Martlndale, what do you want
to undertake such a long Journey for when
you have such a beautiful home at Wild
wood T Suppose you would become sick
and die up there in Alaska, so far an ay
from your family? You know you are get
ting to be an old mam"
"Oh, I'm as healthy as a 'ten-year-old,' "
was his reply.
Mr. Martlndale probably was Philadel
phia's most widely known hunter of big
game. He has made many trips to Alaska
and BritlLh Columbia, and seemed to have
a Bpeclal fondnesi and fascination for the
North American wilds. On several occa
sions he carried special permits from the
Secretary ot Agriculture to shoot several
bears In addition to those allowed by the
game laws. Many of Mr. Martlndaie's tro
phies have been presented to the Academy
of Natural Sciences In this city,
FROM J1.B0 JOB.
Although for forty years Mr. Martin
dais was regarded as a typical rhlladel
phlan. he was born In Ling Rlggs, Wear
dale, County Durham, England, In 1842,
He came to America with his parents when
a child.
The oldest of twehe children, young
Thomas got his first Job at 31.50 a week
when thirteen years old, as general utility
boy in a dry goods store, but within seven
years he was superintendent of one of the
largest establishments of Its kind In
Toronto, Canada, and was president of
the Dry Goods Salesmen's Association ot
that olty.
Mr. Martlndale, seeking new fields for
his ever-lnoreastng activities, left Toronto
for Boston and from there determined to
make his fortune In the oil regions. He
went to Oil City, There he married "Miss
Rosa Crum, He also had his first start In
the grocery bustness when he bought, an
Interest In an unattractive-looking grocery
store, which, through the true eye of a
rising merchant he saw had great possibil
ities. He bought out his partner and soon
transformed the store Into an attractive
and paying establishment
HERB FOR FORTY-ONE YEARS.
Mr. Martlndale sold out his store In Oil
City and came to Philadelphia forty-one
years ago. The firm has been In business
at Tenth and Market streets ever since.
Mr. Martlndale was chairman of the
Cltlsens' Committee which brought about
an adjustment of the atreet carmen's strike
here In 189B. He also was chairman ot
the Cltlsens' National Republican Conven
tion Committee which brought the conven
tion to Philadelphia that nominated Mo
Klnley and Roosevelt He took an active
part In the various reform campaigns for
the last twenty years and fought for better
transportation facilities for Philadelphia,
WELL-KNOWN AUTHOR.
The founder of the Canadian Club In
this city, Mr, Martlndale also was one ot
the organisers of the Poor Richard Club.
He suggested the regular "hikes" that the
club members have taken each Sunday for
the last nine years, Mr. Martlndale, him
self a great walker, seldom used a car
riage or automobile. For more than fifty
years he walked on an average of five miles
a day. Exercise, In fact, was one of his
hobbles.
Mr, Martlndale leaves a widow and two
sons, Thomaa C. Martlndale, Jr.. who Is
associated with .the Martlndale firm, and
James J. Martlndale, an electrical engineer
In Detroit
Among the many books on outdoor life
written by Mr, Martlndale are "Hunting
In the Upper Yukon," "SporV Indeed,"
"Sport Royal, I Warrant You," "Wlldwood
Ways." "With Gun and Guide" and "Hunt
ing In Maine and New Brunswick."

for lr fetish e and commercial purpose, the
waterway boosters, who hae been attend
ing the ninth annual conentlon of the At
lantlo Deeper Waterways Association in
Philadelphia, bid this city a cheery good-by

The work of the convention was most
satisfactory, according to Congressman J.
Hampton Moore, president of the associa
tion, who said; "We expect to have Con
gress purchase or condemn the Delaware
and Chesapeake Canal nt the next session,
and It will not bo a long time before there
Is a new and adequate Delaware and Rarl
tan Canal. These two waterways aro the
prlnclpil objects which the association has
decided to strive for during tho coming
year. The linking of the Chesapeake Bay,
the Delaware River and the Rarltan Bay Is
cr vast Importance from a defensive nnd
commercial standpoint. Secretary Daniels
and Admiral Benson clearly showed how
vital It was to have the route, when they
(poke at League Island yesterday after
noon." The closing- session of the convention
was held here last night. Congressman J.
Hampton Moore was re-elected president.
Wildred H Schoft was elected secretary
treasurer and Durell Shustcr assistant sec

congressional purchase or condemnation ot
the Chesapeake nnd Delaware Canal and
the Improvement of the canal as a sea level
waterway; legislation for the construction
ot a modern waterway across the State of
New Jersey, connecting tho Delaware illver
with Rarltan Bay and thence with New

Cape Fear by way of Wlnyah Bay,
Charleston, Savannah and Intermediate
points to Jacksonville; the Improvement of
the narrows of Lake Champlaln, and the
Improvement of the Hudson from New
York city to Troy Dam. The association
expressed satisfaction at the legislation
enacted by Congress for the Improvement
of the Delaware River and recommended
a" further Improvement of the Schuylkill
River.
A vaudeville show and dancs followed

against the Philadelphia Rapid Tralslt
Company by the Central Germantown Busi
ness Association and (he United Business
Men's Association. Edward B. Martin will
represent the complainants.
According to the complaint, a number ot
the lines are Illegal, dangerous, harmful to
business Interests, annoying and confusing.
It is pointed out that while the company
operates routes 6, 23, EG, 19 and 65 south
on Germantown avenue. It does not operate
the cars of routes 6, 23 and SB north on
the avenue untjl they reach Clearfield street
which Is In the extreme upper end ot the
business men's territory.
By entering Germantown avenue at Glen
wood avenue It Is shown the tines must
nt grade the southbound tracks, of five
lines. This, It Is contended, causes great
congestion and Increases the possibility ot
collision, as the grade Is downward and
the cars enter on a sharp curve. Further
more, It la asserted that the charter gov
erning the operation of cars in German
town aenue Is violated by the present
routing.
Germantown avenue Is lined with stores.
It Is pointed out, and the bustness of mer
chants has been "materially Injured" by
lack of cares running north on the avenue.

Bv a Staff Certttenint
WASHINGTON, Sept IB, Two XHtrs4t
cllUena ot vastly different character an
aspirations, but both ot nation-wide fame,
are counted tin by the Democrats to swing
many votes for President Wilson. . They
are Henry Ford and Ty Cobb. Incidentally
administration officials are putting for De
troit to win the American League pennant
nnd the world's series so that the Cetek
support wilt attract more attention.
Statements of both Ford and Cobb, de
claring their support of President Wilson,
will be circulated by every means of public
ity and to every corner of the nation. The
Democratic national committee Is prepared
to print Henry Ford'a Indorsement of Wlf
son In million lots. Pictures of the auto
mobile king with President Wilson, and ot
Ty and the President will be grouped en
the moving picture screens. The statement
of Cobb, pledging his support to.WIlson, has
already been published In the weekly bul
letin of the Democratic national committee
and through It circulated to every news
paper In the United States
Mr. Ford's latest statement praising
President Wilson was given In the form of
nn Interview at San Francisco this week.
He said:
"Because of the many good things Presi
dent Wilson has done, I think he should be
commended and heartily appreciated. I
do not want to draw a parallel between the
professions and the alms of the Republican
and Democratic parties. I do not want to
talk politics.
"Every neighbor you meet will tai: you
the good things In the Administration jot
Presdent Wilson. I feel Just as those
people do about what he has done, and
teallie keenly that his great neutrality
policy during the European War has had
the patent successful result of keeping this
nation at peaoe. The effort of his oppo
nents to try to make political capital be
cause of President Wilson's determination
not to measure swords with poor, deluded
Mexico, has already ended In distinct
failure."
