The
the
Fearing tho possibility of an outbreak of
smallpox at Wrightstown when mobilization
for the new army begins, Dr A. A Calrna.
chief medical Insnector of this city, has
written the New Jersey authorities warning
them to bo on tho lookout for unreported
trouble.
The uctlon of Doctor Cairns followed
the discovery thit N'oah Townsend, a negro,
who came to t".'l rlty from the New Jersey
mobilization town a few weeks ngo, was the
victim of a well-dcvloped caso of smallpox.
The negro eari; in July went to live at a
houso at 511 Fox court and had been 111 for
many days before his case wph reported to
tho authorities. As twelve days elapse be
tween contact with the dlsaase and Its de
velopment In a patient, Doctor Cairns be
lieves that Townsend contracted smallpox
before coming here to live.
In a letter to Dr. Jacob C. Price, commis
sioner of health of New Jersey, Doctor
Cairns tells of the case here of the vacci
nation yesterday of 2500 persons In the
block In which Townsend was located, and
sugests that an Immediate Investigation be
made In town and camp.
A half dozen residents In the houso In
which the case was located have been
Isolated In the Hospital for Contagious Dis
eases and are being watched for symptoms.
They have been subjected to every possible
form of. prevention, and the local authorities
are confident that no spread of the disease
will result from tho one case here.

Surprising Action Regarded by
Shipping Men as Blow at
American Marine
Governor Brumbaugh today etoed the
bill to re-establish the Pennslvanln Nau
tical School at the port of Philadelphia
The measure carried an appropriation of
$50,000 from the Mate under the proviso
that the City Councils appropriate the saline
amount.
The veto Is regarded by the shipping men
of the city as a blolv at the American mer
chant marine They ahltnd the Legislature
to pass tho bill, nml requested the Ooernor
to sign It, so that Pennsylvania could do
Its share toward providing oftlcrrs for tho
great fleet of merchant vessels that are to
he built under the. direction of tho United
States Shipping Hoard.
Tho school cannot be re-established now
for at least two years. It went out of

school, and forced Its passaijo through both
branches of tho LegMatuie.

Biggest Saturday Rush of Season Jams
Many Extra Trains on
All Roads
One of the greatest excursion days this
city has ever known was witnessed today
nt the foot of Market and Chestnut streets.
Thousands of people filled Delaware avenue
In front of the Pennsylvania and Heading
stations. The crowd was so big and so
thick that traffic of vehicles was stopped
and the ferry boats were loaded as heavily
as tho railroads would permit.
The Reading rarrled more than 12,000 to
Atlantic City and about 3000 to other sea
shore resorts. The Pennsylvania also car
rled about 15,000 persons to all tho resorts
combined. The railroads gave as the rea.
sail for the unusually large numbe of
excursionists the fact that this was the last
Saturday for special party excursions.
Among the many Industrial plant, church
and fraternal organization parties was that
of the combined churches of Manayunk,
Roxborough and Wlssahlckon. This con
sisted of about 4000 persons. Several thou
sand perrons went In the Cramp Ship
yard party.
The excursionists began arriving at the
stations before 6 o'clock and by 6-30 the
spaces about the doors were Jammed with
people who wanted to buy tickets. Twice
during the morning the Heading had to
close Its gates against the throng.
Both roads loaded trains as rapidly as
possible and sent them out as fast as safety
would permit. The last excursion sections
did not leave until after 8 o'clock. The
throngs were so great that the schedule of
ferryboats was done away with and every
available boat was Impressed Into service.

THOMAS DEVELON MARRIES
Weds Mr3 Bromley, of Palmyra, N. J.,
and Goes on Tour
Announcement was made today ot the
marriage of Mrs Agnes Roden Bromley, of
Palmyra, N. J., to Thomas Develon, prest
dent of Thomas Devclon's Sons, carpet
manufacturers; of the Thomas Develon, Jr.,
Rug Manufacturing Company, nnd of the
Cedar Park Driving Club, of Philadelphia.
The wedding was performed last Monday
at the home of the Rev. Robert Hunter, 2902
Frankford avenue. Mr. and Mrs. Develon
are on a wedding trip through the New Eng
land coast. They will live at 123E Alle
gheny avenue.
George .1. Gould, Jr.. youngest son of the
New York financier, has sacrificed the
Gould millions and has been thrown on
his own resources as the result of his re
cent elopement nnd marilago to Miss
Laura Carter, a pretty country girl, In
Philadelphia on July .".
Tho young couple already have moved
to a small Hat In tho Hast Side In New
York nnd joung Gould will start today to
earn his own living. Ho admitted that
his father had cut him off. hut said he was
willing tn mako tho sacrifice to marry tho
girl of tils choice.
Young Mr. Gould appeared radiantly
happy when newspaper men called to ver
ify the report.
"Wo'ro happy ns can be," she said, "re
gardless of what happens"
She was formerly MKs Carter, tho foster
daughter of I). P. Callahan, a farmer of
Ardena, N. J., near Freehold They vvre
married In this city by the Key Dr. Wil
liam B. Chalfant, of 147 North Fifteenth
street.
Tho marriage attracted more than usual
attention, as It was tho second In tho well-
known Gould family In that many days.
The llrst man Inge was that 'if Klngdon
Gould to Miss Annunzlata Lucci, ail art
student. It la known that both marriages
were displeasing to tilling members of the
Gould family.
Young George has emphatically declined
the aid of his many friends who offered
nsslstnnco when It became known that the
luxurious Gould mansion had been closed
to tho young couple.
"I have always wanted to earn my own
living," ho said, "and that Is Just what I
propose to do. Wo are happy. We are
leading the' slmplo Ufa and I tell you It
goes good.
"And I might say that It Is mighty In
teresting to bo cut off from many of the
things that have made my llfo so easy
heretofore. I have several positions In
view nnd probably will go to work on
Wall street.
"The great drawback to wealth Is that
lt rather deadens one's own nblllty," ho
said. "I'm by no means sure that I ran
mako good, but I assure you I urn colng
to have a good stab nt It."
Young Gould's first move was to dls.
charge his chauffeur and sell hla favorite
roadster, which, by the way, was tho car
hr used to court his bride and the one he
used In the elopement to Philadelphia. '

CHICAGO, July 28.
The final chapter In tho leath of Baby
Bollinger, whose life Dr. II. J. Halselden
refused to save In 1915 becauso of tho
child's hopeless deformity, was written to
day with tho announcement of the mother's
death, duo, her husband believes, to a
broken heart.
The Bollinger caso received additional
notoriety only n few days ago when Baby
Meter, a similarly Impel feet Infant, was al
lowed to die by Doctor Halselden.
The shock of the Infant's hopeless condi
tion at birth. Doctor Ilalselden's verdict to
permit It to die nnd the attendant publicity
were more than tho mother could Ftand,
Allen Bollinger, tho woman's husband, de
clared. "She was never tho snmo afterward," ho
said. "I was afraid her mind would give
way under the strain nnd I tried tn cheer
her, but she never recovered from her grief.
If over a woman died of a broken heait sho
did "
The Bollinger case became famous
throughout American and European medical
circles. Doctor Halscldon's verdict that tho
rhlld should die became tho subject of a hot
controversy between medical men nnd lay
men. Tho Bollinger Infant would prohably have
been an Imbecile If allowed to live, accord
ing to Doctor Halselden, who gave the samo
rtasons for permitting Baby Meter to dlo.

Birthday When He
Registered
INELIGIBLE TO DRAFT
Master Lists Mailed From Har-
risburji Selection Probably
Will Begin on Monday
Philadelphia's first conscript to be sum
moned for physical examination on Mon
day morning has filed a claim for ex
cmptlon. He Is Charles Arcy. Klghth and Plna
streets, and Is one of the fifty-one men In
this city who drew number 268 when bee
rotary Baker, of the War Department,
opened tho army lottery on tho morning
of July 20.
Whether Arey succeeds In avoiding army
duty will depend upon thu decision of Gen
eral Crowder, Provost Marshal. Arey claims
that he was over thlijy-onn years of ago
when he registered, that ho Is not eligible,
and that his name must be stricken from
the draft list In the Sixth District.
On June 5 Arcy went beforo the regis
trars of the Second division of tho Seventh
Ward and registered for the national army.
Upon reaching his homo he was Informed
by his father that he was just over the
age limit prescribed In tho coiibcrlptlon
law.
The family Bible was opened and, turning
to the family records, Arey discovered thnt
hn was more than thirty-one. Ho returned
to the reglstrnis and demanded his card, but
they refused the request. On July 20 Arcy's
number was tho llrst drawn, and since then
ho has been active In his atempt to obtain
exemption.
Clinton Rogers Woodruff, chairman of
the exemption board In tho Sixth District,
has foi warded the factH In this caso to
General Crowder and Is awaiting a decision.
"Arey must nppcar on Monday," said Mr.
Woodruff when commenting upon the case
today. "He must tnko a physical examina
tion nnd hold himself In readiness until
General Crowder decides upon his eligi
bility." Forty-eight men have boon summoned
by the Sixth District exemption hoard fur
physical examinations. They will appear

Secretary Daniels wns greatly dtstiessed
nt the outcome of tho hearings in Phlli.
delphla yesterday. He said the Federal
authorities had furnished indisputable cvi
ilcncn of the existence of tho places, and
he had expected the police of Philadelphia
would get fhe evidence on the proprietors
Tho manner of. conducting the raids bv
the police, ho said, worked ngalnst getting
evidence of proprietorship. "
UK SUPPLIED INFORMATION
"'u,ia miln ,s ,tnow'1 t" bo running x
gambling place nnd Is told by the police In
advanco of a raid, ho certainly would be
In tho front pew of a church when the
raids nre In progress," was the way Secre
tary Daniels commented upon the action
of the police. He said he had supplied
tho names nnd numbers of places Iradine
In ylco in order that tho police could iet
evidence on them, not with the Idea that
local authorities would simply raid them
without attempting to get evidence that
would result In conviction.
Secretary Daniels said he had nevir
said that Philadelphia was a city of vie.
but thut the conditions nround League"
Island were bad. In justification of his
position ho had received hundreds of let
ters from Philadelphia citizens giving him
evidence nnd approving his course. Mr
Daniels Is not In the least embarrassed by
tho action In Philadelphia yesterday. He
does not charge that politics operated there
but he has some well-founded Ideas how'to
get evidenco and how to allow tho gulltV
to escape.
He called particular attention to this part
of his letter to Mayor Smith today:
"If thp conditions of which I complained
In my letter to Governor Brumbaugh can
bo discovered by agents of the Navy De
partment, they can be discovered by the
police of Philadelphia, and I am confident
that with vigilance and careful action on
the part of tho police, they can bo cor
rected. "Of course. If tho Governments of Penn
sylvania nnd Philadelphia notify the Navy
Department that they nro unablo to main
tain clean and wholesome environment for
youths intrusted to them during their train
lng, then tho question of what must be
the duty ot the Navy Department In such
an Impossible condition In such nn enlight
ened siaio anu city, will not be avoided
by tho navy."
DIDN'T CALL IT CITY OF VICE
"I never said that Philadelphia was a
city of vice," he ndded. "I did say that
conditions wero bad there, as at many
other Government yards, and I repeat the
charge. Further, I mean to Bee that they
are cleaned up, and I am satisfied that the
Governor of tho State and the spirit of thu
press and people of Philadelphia will aid
In such a course. I have never doubted
that the people of Philadelphia will maku
such nn ntmosphere there that fathers and
mothers will not object to sending their
boys to the yards. I thought that all was
needed was to point out conditions, and
that the authorities would get legal evi
dence nnd promptly act. But I am confi
dent that tho spirit of tho people and the
press can force a clean-up, and that
promptly."
Asked whether, ho meant to stop progress
at the yard because of the conditions, tho
Secretary replied that he had no such
thought; that he knew tho State or local
authorities would quickly establish a whole
some condition.
"Philadelphia will bo made the great ship
building center for the Government," he
said. "I still hold that tho vice conditions
must bo cleaned up, but I never had any
Idea of punishing the yard becauso of con
ditions which have Just arisen. I have
expended tho greater portion of $18,000.0001
on the yard ; Increased the marine barracks
and developed the yards for building dread
noughts and battle cruisers."

MAY DRAFT MEN REACHING
21 BEFORE NEXT CALL
WASHINGTON, July 28.
The United States draft law may be
broadened so as to swing in men reaching
tho minimum nge of twenty-one before the
next call to the colors.
Secretary of War Baker Indicated today
that not only might he ask Buch a step, but
that ho might also setk to exclude men who
turn thirty-one the maximum age before
the second call,
Ab the law now stands, the War De
partment apparently has power to continue
drawing men to fill up quotas. Fnr in.
stance, after the first two BQO.000 groups
have been called, the Secretary of War can
get other men to maintain those groups.
As wastage runs about one-third, he
could continue calling out about 700.000
men a year to fill up the gaps or to "main
tain" existing troops. In this wav. with h.
national army. National Guard and regular
army, the United States would have about
2,000,000 fighting men always in Europe
The question of transporting such forces
to Europe furnishes a vexatious task, but
Indications are that there will bo sum
cient tonnage for transports and supply
thlps when they are needed. As at present
estimated, 000,000 or more soldiers should
be on French Boll by September, 1918
Tho War Department today corrected the
Impression that France was to manufacture
all our heavy artillery. Baker said r,art
of It would be made there, but that the,
United States has no Intention of dltchlnr
ts own very good model or of stopping
production here, """
