NEW TOItK. Oct U One of the biggest
robberies about New York In years was
reported to the police today when Frnnk
Orey CJrlawoId, prominent Wall street and
sporting man, told of burglars entering his
Long Island home last night and escaping
with Jewelry and allver alued at between
110.000 and 1100.000. This estimate of the
low was made by Griswold and his wife,
who motored In to headquarters to report
tho robbery.
CJrlswold, his wife and Mrs. Orlswold's
daughter. Miss Mary Canfleld, In the pala
tial residence near Itoslyn. one of the show
places of Long Island, are belleted to have
been chloroformed by the robbers.
Griswold and Mrs. Griswold told tho
police they awoke this morning with severe
headaches and the daughter was 111.
In one of the rooms was found a rag
or 'handkerchief, which was believed to
havo been saturated with chloroform and
to have been used In rendering 'members
of the household unconscious. Footprints
were found In all of the sleeping rooms,
which led to the belief that the burglars
went systematically about their work of
taking every precaution against being dis
turbed. fc
The burglars apparently took their time
about robbing the house after they were
sure tho family were under the Influnce
of the drug. They ransacked drawers
and closets throughout the house, opened
Jewel cases and picked out Only the most
costly gems, and pltcd the empty boxes up
behind curtains in rooms on the lower
floor.
Griswold notified Sheriff Fettlt, of Nas
sau County, of the robbery, but owing to
the value of the Jewels and silver taken
gave tho New York police also all details.
Indications were that the robbers came
to the house and escaped In an automobile,
Griswold said. Automobile tracks leading
up to the house were found In the grass.
There are twelve servants In the house, but
Griswold said allxof th;m declared they
did not hear any noise during the night.
No trace of the robbers has been found.'

PLAN ENFORCED IN 1918
USE OF THE CISTOSCOPE
"Do It electrically," is a slogan of the
surgeons also.
It was made known to the laity today by
tho surgeons attending the seventh an
nual clinical congress of surgeons In Phil
adelphia that electricity had proved to be
a cure for several different types of can
cer. And electricity Is also used to "light
Up" the Inner parts of the human body,
and the smallest twists and turns of the
human Interior, while the surgeon handles
his Instruments with deftness and precision.
Dr. L. T. Ashcraft conducting a cllnlo
this morning In Hahnemann Hospital, re
mo ed a cancer from a patient which had
caused suffering for two years, and an
nounced when he was through that It never
would recur. He performed the operation,
using n cjstoecope which to the laity might
be described as an electrically lighted per
iscopeand a long, electrically charged
needle. The cancer was remoed from a
hidden part of the blrdder of the patient
and the base of It was cauterised with an
electric needle.
USE OP ELECTIUCITY
Doctor Ashcraft demonstrated to the
lsltlng surgeons the new "fulguratlon"
treatment for small growths, which In
clude tho use of the cytoscope and a nne
wire attached to an electrlo battery. The
patient is conscious while the operation la
being made, only a local nnesthetlo being
used.
"Electrlolty." said Doctor 'Ashcraft. "Is
far superior to radlunl fn Ihe treatment of
cancer. But. of course, the knfe Is the
best method of treating a patient suffering
from a. malignant growth. Thousands, of
deaths could be axolded every year If sur
geons would operate Instead of using medi
cal treatment. Many cases are diagnosed
as kidney trouble when it Is simply bladder-
trouble."
Uolllng water Injected Into the glands
of a goiter Is the method used In the
treatment of that ailment at the Jewish
Hospital, Dr. Nathanlal Olnsberg said to
day. He conducted a clinic for the sur
geons, at the' hospital, using boiling water
on six patients. He said the treatment had
had good results.
At the Penns) Ivanla Hospital cllnlo this
morning. Dr. L. It Lewis, of Lexington,
Ky., performed a remarkable bloodless tonsil-removal
operation, which la said to be
entirely new. No knife was used, but at
wire was placed about the tonsil and grad

left open, and allowed do blood whatever
to flow.

GaTney'8 Suggestions
for Taxation in City
1 Councilman! control of nil
municipal taxation.
2 The stripping of the Board
e of Revision of Taxes of
many of Us powers.
3 Taxes now paid to tho State
to be paid to city in future.
4 Legislative enactments en
e larging municipal powers.
5 New methods of taxation,
Including tho dropping of
suburban rate on realty and the
continuation of the two clnsscs of
city and farm.
6 Taxes upon automobiles,
e ground rents, insurance
companies and the removal of the
State tax now on city bonds.
7 The payment to the city of
o the collateral inheritance
tax and the mcrcantllo license tax.
Councllmanlo control of municipal taxa
tion, the stripping of the Hoard of rtcvtslon
of Taxes of many of Ita powers, new kinds
of taxation and the taking over by the city
oi several masses oi taxation wnicn nre
now paid Into the State treasury,, are the
revolutionary methods which Chairman
Gaffney, of Councils' Klnanco Committee
advocates In an effort to replenish the city
.treasury In years to come.
In an open letter to Mayor Smith and
Councils the Hnanclal expert gtes the con
clusions reached by himself after months
of. study tn an effort to place the city on a
pay-as-you-go basis. Although he has made
no estimate of the additional revenue to
bo had by .the city. If his plans are ap
proved, ho cites Instances where several
millions of dollars can be added by the
diversion of State taxes to the city.
His letter,, which Includes an exhaustive
history of previous efforts to obtain by
taxation new reenues for the city. Is dou
bly significant In view of the fact that Mr.
Gaffney has gone over most of the field with
executive to many of the plans before jnak
Mayor Smith nnd had the approval of the
ing them public.
CHANGE OK METHODS
Among the more Important suggestions
made by Mr. Gaffney, who Is considered by
many tho mouthpiece of the Administration,
Is one looking toward the Introduction al
the coming session of the Legislature of
bills changing In every way tho present
methods employed by'tho Hoard of Revision
of Taxes which he brands as obsolete. His
plan calls for Councllmanlo control after
I91S of all tax assessments. s
The collateral Inheritance tax now paid
to the State Is demanded for the city, as
Is also the mercantile llccnso tax. The
latter tax alone would Increase the city's
Income at least 11,200,000 annually. An
other suggested change Is to Impose a tax
'upon the fire Insurance companies which
are exempted under the act of 1JU.
