EVERY FOURTH Mi
IS DISEASE CARRIER
Gty Health Officer Says Street
Cars Contain Germs of Many
Varieties
Overcrowded street cars and poor
ventilation were given as one of the
causes of the spread of contagious dis
eases by Dr. J. M. J. Haunlck, city
health officer, this morning.
Germs of almost every Infectious
disease are rampant on the street cars
of this city, according to the health
department. Dr. Kaunlck said that at
least every fourth person Is a carrier
of germs of some kind.
In crowded cars In particular the
danger is great. People who come In
contact with persons having consump
tion. smallpox, diphtheria and other
diseases carry tho germs in their lungs
and throat, and a cough or a sneeze
is the best way to spread the germs,
according, to the health authorities.
Dr. Kaunlok also said that It. is folly
to take good caro of a child In the
home and then take It out on a
crowded car, subjecting it to trerms
of measles, whooping cough, chicken
pox and other diseases.
Jitneys Will Be Healthful
"Personally. T hope the jitney bus
' comes to this city to stay," said Dr.
! Ttaunick. "I will use it in preference
to the street car. People who have
their windows open at night and then
| go into a crowded and poorly venti
| luted car are just as much In the
' wrong as persons who walk In the
I open air all day and do not have their
j windows open at night."
j Dr. Haunlck also said that the dan-
I ger of infection in an overcrowded
I far is much greater than in one that
j is not overcrowded.
"Street cars in this city are not kept
as clean as they should be." he went
ion to say. "Other cities have clean
! trolley cars atid this city should have
j them, too."

Advices from Petrograd and Berlin
to-day indicate that the struggle in
Northern Poland is drawing toward a
decisive stage. The Germans, who have

line .at Ossowetz. arc endeavoring to
prevent the Russians from advancing
to the north and south of the fortress
and internosing troops between it and
the Prussian border. The official com
munication from Berlin to-day states
I that Russian attacks in this region
I were repulsed. Petrocrad asserts that
considerable progress has been made
recently and that the Russian troops
!at places are within a few miles of
! the border.
Another lull has come along the

JURY FINDS BIXLER j
DEATH ACCIDENTAL
Inquest Held This Morning Near
Scene of Tragedy; 35
Witnesses Called
Special to The Telegraph
New Bloomfield, Pa., March 25. —
District Attorney Walter W. Rice,
Squire Showers, of Sandy Hill, and
State Trooper Curtis E. Davlcs this
morning conducted an inquest at Blx
ler and at the conclusion a coroner's
Jury returned a finding that L. Curttn
Blxler came to his death early Monday
morning as the result of an accident.
Thirty-five witnesses, all of whom
knew Bixler, and who saw his home
In flames, testified that it was their
belief that the old man did not commit
suicide and that he was not murdered.
Many of them said that Bixler was
suffering from rheumatism and they
believed that because of his condition
he fell while descending the stairs
leading to the second floor of his home
and that a. lighted lamp which he car
ried set fire to the house. The lamp
was found close to the charred re
mains of the aged man. The general
supposition Is that when Bixler fell he
became unconscious and was unable
to get away from the flames.
Letters and papers discovered after
the tragedy showed that Bixler had no
Intention of ending his life.

Assyrians Take Kcfuge
As a result of the war 12,000 Assy
rians are taking refuge in the Cau
casus. some 17,000 are described as in
imminent danger at the Urumiah mis
sions,while 20,000 are dead or missing.
Furthermore much property has been
destroyed. The Assyrians fought their
assailants bravely and as long as they
had ammunition they wore victorious.
The missionaries are untiring in
their efforts to help the people and
they arc spending money to this end
freely. In Urumiah they are disburs
ing the equivalent of SIOO daily. Dis
ease is prevalent among the refugees.
The situation at Urumiah already
has been taken up with Turkey by the
United States. Secretary Bryan has
telegraphed American Ambassador
Morgenthau at Constantinople to seek
the protection of the missionaries and
the refugees. Previous dispatchlies
from Djulfa, Persia, have described
the danger at Urumiah, hut none of
them have given so much detail as
the foregoing message from Ti 11 is.
The American missionary station at
Urumiah is maintained by the Board
of Foreign Missions of the Presbyte
rian Church in the United States of
America. The station was established
as long ago as 1835, its control was
transferred to the Presbyterian board
in 1871. The work has gone on there
without serious interruptions or mis
hap to the missionaries. The force
normally at Urumiah consists of five
clergymen and one physician with
their wives and four single women.

10 GO SMOOTHLY
Amendments Have Been Gone
Over and Bill Will Come Out
Next Tuesday Afternoon
CHILD LABOR AGREEMENT
Governor Shows That He Is Will
ing to Meet the Manufacturers
More Than Half Way
Enactment of the workmen's com
pensation law practically as outlined
by the Governor and Attorney General
is assured. Republican organization
leaders have given the Governor to
understand that they are for It and the
measure which is in sufficiently com
plete shape to permit of Its being re
ported out at the next meeting of the
judiciary general committee of the
House which will be held next Tues
day. I.ast night Representative Wil
liam H. Wilson. Philadelphia, chair
man of the judiciary general com
mittee. went over with Attorney Gen
eral Brown the amendments proposed
at the hearing of the Brumbaugh bill
given by the committees of the Senate
and House in the hail of the House on
Tuesday afternoon.
The Attorney General declined to
comment upon the disposition that
would be made of the proposed
changes and modifications, except to
reiterate his observation made at the
public hearing, which was that "pride
of opinion on his part would not stan l
in the way of meeting the just and
reasonable objections urged against
the administration measure."
l'onular Support
It was declared to-day that Sena
tor William E. Crow, chairman of the
Republican State committee, and Sena
tors McNiehol and Vare, Philadelphia,
had agreed that Attorney General
Brown had whipped the proposed
compensation act into the shape that
made it acceptable to them and to
other Republican senators. A factor
that had considerable weight in de
ciding the Republican organization
senators to fall in behind the Gover
nor's compensation bill was the action
of a number of large employers in
withdrawing their opposition. These
acceptances were for the most part
unexpected and led both the Gover
nor and Attorney General Brown to
carry their policy of compromise and
conciliation to a length that thev
would otherwise not have been dis
posed to do.
Not only was this the case, but the
Governor and Mr. Hrown declared that
they were prepared to meet all classes
of employers half way in the matter
of adjusting points in dispute, provid
ing only that the changes asked for did
not impair the character of the pro
posed act to the degree of making it
a sham and a farce.
Xo More Hearings
Confidence in the "acceptance" of
the compensation measure has reoch
ed the stage where it is asserted that
another public hearing will not be
necessary. Amendments not made in
committee will be made upon the floor
of the House, as it is not probable that
a measure made up of seven separate
bills will come before the House in
"perfect form" from the judiciury gen
eral committee's hands.
The Governor's bill, however, will be!
subjected to an unusually thorough
scrutiny and revision after it is print
ed, consequently it will probably be
freer of typographical errors than ;s
usual with a measure of its size.
Governor Brumbaugh's reliance up
on the support of Republican senators
is such that he has turned his at
tention to the child labor bill intro
duced in the House bv Representative
Edwin R. Cox, Philadelphia, and with
a determination to disarm opposition
not by wielding the "his stick," but
with a course of conciliation similar to
that which he believes has won the
necessary support lor his compensa
tion bill.
To Discuss Hill
The Governor stated yesterday aft
ernoon that he would meet representa
tive manufacturers at the Rellevuc-
Stratford next Saturday and take up
with them the objections raised against
his child labor act. Governor Brum
baugh removed at least one stumbling
block In the way of an "agreement"
yesterday afternoon by declaring that
his attitude as regards the child labor
question was precisely that adopted by
Attorney General Brown towards
workmen's compensation, that he had
"no pride of opinion, but was of an
open mind to accept suggestions."
The Governor in the course of an
irtervicw with newspapermen said:
"1 will meet some of the manufac
turers at the Bellevue-Stratford Satur
day morning at Tl o'clock, and explain
the continuation school features of tho
child labor bill. If thoy have anv pro
position that is fair and workable and
will make the bill better than it is. I
certainly have an open mind in tho
matter. But they must remember that
the time has come in Pennsylvania
when we must have an advanced child
labor law which will be fair to !he
children. I am perfectly confident that
we will get it.
A Historic Fight
"No concessions will be made in the
matter of hours. That has been set
tled by competent medical opinion, by
the judgment of people who have
studied the subject, and it is no long
er a matter of debate. 1 shall stand
by the hours in tiie Cox bill.
"So far as tiie age limit is concern
ed, there is no disagreement about
that, so l'ar as I have been able to
discover.
"The passage of the Cox bill will
mean the opening of a new kind < t
school for every working child In the
State. Of course, we do not expect tl»e
continuation school to be a complete
success at once, but the way to get tho
continuation school Is to get it. The es
tablishment of the continuation schools
will be the second great educational
step in the history of the State. There
| will be opposition to it—that Is the
story of all progress. There was op-
I position to the tirst great step, which
was the opening of the public schools
Ito all the children of the State. That
I was In 1834. Two years later an at-
I tempt was made to repeal that act.
but one Thaddeus Stevens stood up
against his party and won the tight
against the repealer. We would nev
er get the continuation school If we
waited upon the manufacturers. They
have had generations in which to es
tablish these schools, and now It Is
up to the State."
Yaro for Governor
Senator Crow gave this version of
his talk with the Governor on the child
labor bill:
"1 pointed out that the passage of a
child labor bill was not only a pled jo
In the Governor's platform, but In the
platform of tho Republican party as
well. I stated my belief that the re
demption of a pledge was a compara
tive matter, and that, while a child la
bor bill should be passed, It was a
question as to what details should go
Into the hill.
"I told the Governor that, under the
circumstances, it would be the height
of folly to report the bill out at this
time; that It would be better to avoid
a tight on tho floor of the House which
could be avoided If an agreement could
he reached by those favoring the bill
and those opposed to it. I suggested
