"TYPHOID MARY" IS
BLAMED FOR EPIDEMIC
Authorities Believe Woman, Im
mune From Disease, Trans
mitted It to Newport
Special to The Telegraph
Newport, Pa., May 13.—With more
than forty cases of typhoid fever al
> ready reported here, local and State
health authorities are to-day making
every possible effort to check a fur-|
ther spread of the disease which is I
supposed to have been brought into
this borough by milk bought from a
"Typhoid Mary." Some of the most
prominent residents of the town are
111 and three deaths already have been
recorded.
The loc2tl authorities and Miss Sarah
Butler, a supervising nurse, hurried
here by the State Department of
Health will confer on the advisability
of engaging one of the unused hotels
here as an emergency hospital until
the epidemic is under control.
Traced to Milk Supply
It was stated this morning that the
number of cases would likely go be
yond fifty as there are quite a few
persons suspected of having the fever
but whose illnesses have not as yet
been diagnosed. The first case was
discovered about a week ago and oth
ers followed in rapid succession. It
was like a bolt from a clear sky as
Newport is noted for its cleanliness
and its water supply is of the best.
Physicians at first almost failed to
realize that they had typhoid fever to
contend with, knowing the conditions
existing in the borough, but thev, the
local and State health authorities be
gan an investigation and traced the
origin of the epidemic to a supply of
milk brought into the town by a local
distributor. Further inquiry elicited
the information that the milk was
from a farm where a short time ago
the owner died of typhoid fever.
The widow continued to conduct the
place and although she was never ill
with the fever she is suspected of hav
ing transmitted the bacteria to the
milk and in turn to the customers
of the local milk distributor. Although
the authorities are not positively cer
tain that the woman is responsible,
she is strongly suspected. She has
heard the stories of "Typhoid Marv"
of Philadelphia notoriety and is now

HOW MUCH LAND IT TAKES
TO PASTURE ONE PERSON
The following is taken from the cur
rent issue of Farm and Fireside:
"How much land does 16 take to
support a cow. or a horse, or a hog?
Rather Important questions to every
one of us, but not so important as the
query:
"How much land does It take to
support a person?
"A recent survey made by the
United States government in Ohio
seems to show that it cost on the
average $197 to board and house each
person on the farm.
"That is, the husband, wife and
three children must have an income
of $985 if they live as well as the
average.
"This is the income in dollars, and
the examination—on forty-four farms
—indicates that it takes forty acres
to 'pasture' a person."
RAT-RILLING CLUB IN TEXAS
In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside appears the following ac
count of a boys' club in Atacosa coun
ty, Texas, which combined good farm
ing with the primal hunting instinct
in man:
"It is a rat-killing club.
"All the boys start in as high pri
vates. but the soldiers with a record
>of a hundred rats becomes a corporal.
"A sergeant must have killed 200.
"A second lieutenant's commission
goes to the slayer of 500.
"Probably the rats will not last till
the army secures a general, but rats
are numerous, and one never can tell.
"No more seriously useful work can
be undertaken than this one of exter
minating rats, and after the rats are
gone Mr. Kloppenburg. the county
agent, has other labors for the army,
Including the trial by court-martial of
the various birds to determine whether
or not they should he killed, the im
provement of the roads, and the like.
It is to be hoped that the fly will not
be allowed to escape."

LABOR FEDERATION
ENDORSES SUFFRAGE
[Continued from First Page.]
of Mrs. O. D. Ollphant, an antlsuf
fragiat from Trenton, N. J., who, dia
satisfled with the audience riven her
on the opening day of the convention
(laat Tuesday) tried again to get the
antla' case before the delegates. Half
a dozen representatives of the unions
connected with the liquor Industries
fought hard in her behalf, but the
chair ruled that only recognized dele
gates should be granted the privilege
of the floor to discuss the suffrage
resolution.
In rendering this decision, .President
Maurer explained that both the antls
and the suffragists had been given the
opportunity to present their respective
cases before the convention on Tues
day and that further presentations
from either Mrs. Oliphant or Mrs. Ger
trude Fuller. who had represented the
suffragists, were unnecessary. He was
supported in this stand by a majority
of the delegates, but it was not until
after a heated discussion led by dele
gates from Philadelphia that the mat
ter was dismissed and the vote on the
resolution calling for the Pennsylva
nia Federation of Labor's support of
the suffrage amendment at the polls
this year, was taken.
Vigorous Arguments
Meanwhile, prior to the appearance
of Mrs. Oliphant, vigorous arguments
in favor of the convention supporting
the woman suffrage resolution, were
presented by "Steve" McDonald, presi
dent of the Scranton Central Labor
Union, and "Dave" Williams, of Allen
town. Both speakers urged the dele
gates to remember that it was the
working woman who needed the ballot
and that to renounce her right to it
would he disloyal to the basic prin
ciples of organized labor.
Mr. Williams struck a responsive
chord when, in answer to the argu
ment that some women would not use
the ballot, he said: "Let the society
women who want to give their monkey
dinners and their wht&t parties stay
at home and not vote If they don't
care to. But let the working women
who do want to vote, and who do need
it, have it." Thunderous applause
greeted this plea.
"Steve" McDonald Speaks
Steve McDonald, the president of
the Scranton Central Labor Union. said
in part:
"I have been sent here by the Scran
ton Central Union and 1 speak
as the representative of its members
and the members of its allied unions.
They believe that this union should
renew its endorsement of suffrage for
jj'omen.
"Every crime, every Infamy, every
injustice inilicted on the men and
women of this state can be directly
charged to the neglect and ignorance
of the men who have not fully exer
cised their right of the ballot. We
must blame the men, the voters, for
the laws that are at fault. They made
them.
"If we never yet been able to
establish laws that were just by the
voters of men. it is time we took our
niothfrs and daughters, our wives and
sisters into the political arena so that
we may see if their good influence will
not enable us to enact laws for the
benefit of mankind.
Laws for Hogs
"Do you believe the mothers who go
down into the valley of death to bring
each human atom into this world
would ever vote for a condition of
things which permits a man to apply
to the government and secure the serv
ices of high paid experts to cure a sick
hog for him but denies the man who
asks the government to help him with
an expert to cure his sick child? He
is told there iu a law for hogs, but no
law for children.
"If that is equitable law, It is time
we had a change of opinion.
"There are 8,000,000 children and
girls and women in our factories and
mills. You know that they are simply
being fed to the jaws of criminal greed,
that their lives are being crushed out
because they are helpless.
"You know that the children and
the wives and the mothers of the poor
are deprived of all those chances for
ideal things which we should all strive
for.
As to Better Laws
"Do not believe anyone who tells
you the women's votes will not help
get better laws, for in the suffrage
states you will find that they have
already enacted better laws. You will
find that their first move was to attack
the auction block on which our chil
dren were being sold into child slavery
and our women into white slavery.
It was the frenzied appeal of the
mothers that secured these laws
j against such things.
"Everything that is damnable, de
spicable and lamentable in the laws
can be traced, as I said before, to the
neglect of the men who now vote. Let
us hear the plea of the girls who work
beside us in the mills and the factories,
the women whom we are so proud to
welcome Into our labor organizations,
the women who have brought us into
the world and who in many cases have
been forced to go out into the world
and labor to keep us alive. Let us
hear their plea and help get them the
vote."
"Dave" Williams 011 llie Floor
"Dave" Williams, of Allentown,
speaking for the resolution endorsing
suffrage, which had been introduced
by the committee of which he Is a
member, said in part:
"I am surprised to see any oppo
sition to a resolution endorsing woman
suffrage In a convention of the Fed
eration of Labor of Pennsylvania, that
state where working conditions are so
rotten and the interests are able to
drive down wages by using underpaid
women's and children's labor.
"Those who say that woman's place
Is in the home and she should not in
terest herself in things outside of it
should remember that as man claims
the vote, it is man's fault that these
bad labor conditions exist.
"Suffrage is one of the marks of
progress. One hundred years ago
women were denied an education and
the first man to advocate their admis
sion to the public schools was arrested.
Think of It :
Making Slaves of Wives
"You who would make a slave of
the wife must expect that that wife
will have stunted children. You are
the ones to blame for the fact that
children are the prey of industrial
greed. The women are helpless now.
All they ask is freedom to help them
selves.
"The worklngmen of the labor
unions should do their utmost to get
women the vote so they can ask them
to help secure better labor laws. Think
what an aid the hundreds of thousands
of worklngwomen's votes would be!
"Let the society women who want
to give their monkey dinners and
their whist parties stay at home and
not vote if they do not want to. But
let the workingwomen who do want
the vote have it."
When the aye and nay vote was
taken on the resolution the navs suc
ceeded in making a volume of noise
that confused matters and left the
chair in doubt.
"801 l call: roll call!" demanded
Steve McDonald. "Get them on rec
ord. Let us see who ,thev are so we
can tell the men who made them dele
gates how they have betraved their
Instructions from their local unions."
The same delegates who had op
posed the resolution now ooposed a
roll call. Under the rules of the con
vention, a standing vote was first
taken. The chair announced the re
sult as 154 votes for the endorsement
of suffrage and 48 opposed. This set
tled the question so definitely that
there was no need for further action
and the roll call was dispensed with
to save the time of the convention.
Other resolutions adopted were:
Endorsing the recommendations of

A resolution commending the work
of Commissioner of and Industry
John Price Jackson, and recommending
that this office be filled by popular
vote, was recommitted to the commit
tee on resolutions.
Opposition to the re-election of James
Maurer, of Heading, as president of the
Pennsylvania Federation of it Is
said, was forecasted, in the effort this
morning to have the election of officers
held this afternoon, instead of to
morrow afternoon.
A motion bv Thomas Kennedy, of I
Ha/.leton. to liave the election take I
place at :t o'clock this afternoon, I
brought hitter opposition. Charges ]
were made that it was an effort on the
part of the United Mine Workers to
run the convention.
James Cronin. of Philadelphia, op
posed the motion because Philadelphia
delegates wero obliged to return home
this afternoon.
David Williams, of Allentown, charg
ed the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
delegates with trying to prevent the
election until they could bring more
delegates to Harrisburg to vote for
their candidate. No name was men
tioned during the arguments, but It was
said after the meeting that Robert
McCreath, of Pittsburgh, representing
the Central I>abor l'nion. would he a
candidate against President Maurer. 1
After a number of delegates had
scored the United Mine Workers, and
charged that the miners were only a
part of the convention, Francis Feehan, 1
of Castle Shannon, Pa., poured oil on i
the troubled waters. He called atten
tion to the fact that he was a miner,
and that the Federation could not set
along with mine workers alone. That I
every delegate was important and the I
mine workers should not consider that
thev alone should dictate.
Steve McDonald, of Scranton, moved J
that the motion to hold the election tills '
afternoon be tabled, and It was passed
by a vote of 11 to 97.
Francis Feehan reported on the re
sults of the visit of the executive com
mittee to Governor Brumbaugh yester
dav. He said the Governor promised
to'give all interested parties due con-j
sideratlon before taking final action on |
the full crew repealer. The convention
adjourned at noon, and the delegates
marched to the Capitol to be photo
graphed. 1
Try Skin Absorption
Instead of Cosmetics
The constant use of rouge and powder
Invites a coarsened, roughened condi
tion of the skin, eruptions, enlarged
pores, blackheads and wrinkles. If
you've learned this from experience,
suppose you quit cosmetics and try the
following:
Ask your druggist for an ounce of
ordinary mercoltzed wax and begin
using this to-night. Apply like cold
cream, washing it off in the morning.
Keep this up for a week or two. The
wax will literally absorb the coarse,
colorless or blemished top skin, but so
gradually as not to discommode you
at all. Just as gradually the clear,
velvety. naturally-tinted undergkin
comes to the surface. And mercollzed
wax becomes your everlasting friend.
For those wrinkles and large pores,
make a face bath by dissolving an
ounce of powdered saxollte in a half
pint wltoh hazel. This has remarkable
astringent and tonic properties and
beneficial results come quickly.—Ad
vertisement.
