L. HEETER -Pittsburgh, April 29 The committee of six clergymen and businessmen who have' been requested by the board of education to investigate charges against S. L. Heeter. superintendent of public schools, will begin their In quiry, today, behind closed doors. Private hearings have been decided upon, because it is believed that wit nesses whose attendance could not be compelled by law would be unwilling to testify -unless protected from pub licity and undue notoriety. Heeter, who came from St. Paul, Minn., where he was head of the pub lic schools, was accused, recently, by a maid In his employ of two serious offenses. He was tried in criminal court and acquitted. The Board of Education, however, has agreed to a , further inquiry, involving other charges of Immorality against Heeter. The strike of the city's school chil dren against the retention of Super intendent Heeter, begun a week ago when the ' accused man resumed his duties as superintendent, to still In progress with the attendance at the various schools reduced to about one half.

CVRUS THE DRUGGIST CJfcCcSetd A v.nnd Court land St. Wednesday LAKEVIEW HOME NOT REGARDED AS SUITABLEJOR TOTS Children Under Four Now at Al mshouse Will Be Boarded Elsewhere After considerable' discussion and the reading of a report from Dr. An drew McQueeney as to the conditions at Lake view Home, the Board of Charities at a meeting yesterday af ternoon decided that for the future children under the age of four years would be placed in some outside home where they could be cared fof under better conditions than prevail at Lake vlew. , President Behrens did not fa vor this action and voted against- it, believing the children would be better off under the direct supervision of the board. The other commissioners, how ever, were convinced that Lakeview Is not a proper place. The decision of where the children shall be placed will rest largely in the hands of Superin tendent Fred R. Johnson, who advo cated the change. Ir. McQueeney said In his report that at the present time the children at the home are well cared for,, but that there aire many flies and vermin. Supt. Cow lea said the only way to rid the institution of vermin Is to burn It down. The question of more complete rec ords at Lake view Home caused a lit tle discussion yesterday afternoon at the meeting of the Board of Chartlles between Supt. Cowles and Sup. John son, the latter asking for "more com plete records of admissions and! other information which Mr. Cowles said he was too busy to make. Daily reports were asked for, but finally a com promise was reached whereby a dally slip will be kept by Supt. Cowles and filed with Supt. Johnson once a week. This seemed to be satisfactory to both. Mr. Cowles said he is run ning the farm with insufficient help, and has but little time for bookkeep ing. The matter of the removal of the tuberculosis pavilion from land of the town farm to - land of the Board of Health was left to President Behrens to take up with Dr. Trecartin of, the Board of Health. SUPT. COWLES' REPORT The annual report ' of Supt. Cowles of Lakeview Home was presented and placed on file after some of the rec ommendations Y had ' been discussed. Supt. Cowles again calls attention to the dangers from fire at the present institution, and says It is a merciful Providence which has prevented v a conflagration or disaster there. He reviews the repairs which (have been made, says it is a waste of money to spend more on the present buildings. As regards the crops of the farm he says they have been fair. He asks for an lnerease in salary. The aver age number at the home during the past year was 210 persons. Soma of the troubles which he has encountered are mentioned, especially a break In the sewer which flooded the basement of the building, and some of the repairs made are specified. The garbage partially burled at the farm hasbeen a source of trouble, but some of it has been disposed of and the farm is gradually being brought back toa semblance of order, most of this work having been done during the past winter. " A detailed report of the product raised upon the farm is made showing that the total value of all farm pro duce was $8,666.24. Cash received at the farm from various sales amounted to $1,568.65, and from board of in mates, $329. making a total of receipts $1,897.65, which amount was turned over to the city treasurer. There was an emergency fund at the commence ment of the year of $39.96, and dur ing the year the sum of $82.60 was paid out, leaving $42.65 due the su perintendent from this account. A detailed account of the expenditures is a part of the report. . The inventory of farm produce on April 1 shows a total of $1,337.50 and there is live stock valued at $4,685.46. A complete inventory ' of all of the property at the farm is also included in the report. One of the items shows that 300 bushels of potatoes were sent to the Emergency hospital for distri bution. Figures regarding the admission of inmates by months,- and other statisti cal matter takes up a large portion of the report. Summing up and referring to an al leged deficit Mr. Cowles says: "I desire to state for the benefit of the general public, that the deficit' of the Lakeview home account, so per sistently alluded to in certain quar ters, was caused by the fact that the board of apportionment for the first time in Its history made Lakeview home a special item in the appropria tion for the Charities department and cut down your estimate nearly $4,000, paring almost every item quite mater ially, notably the wiring and lighting, from your estimate of $1,185.00 to $50.00, and not allowing any miscel laneous or special account to provide for necessary repairs or improvements. The doctor's salary and mechanic's wages were also taken from the ac count for which no provision was made. k ' i "In view of these facts, it does not require the services of an expert to find a reason, for the much heralded deficiency and with the cut of over $8,600.00 which they made from your estimate for this fiscal year. It need surprise no one If there is a still larger deficit for 1913-14. "I make this statement because of the unjust criticism that the board of charities and the employes of Lake view home receive while carrying out the duties Imposed by? state law rela tlve to the care of Indigent persons."

"After easterly storms have washed up hundreds of bushels of oysters along Fairfield and other . beaches at extreme low tides, you will find these beaches lined with people gathering these oysters, which they take home for family use. Is there any known instance of any member of all these different families becoming sick or their health Injured in any manner from eating these oysters? "It is a well known fact that dur ing all the years the oyster. industries have been in the business, the set of oyster spawn has been uncertain as to results.. Some' years there has been a large set of oyster spawn and other years a poor set, the causes of which cannot be attributed in any pairticular to the sewage - conditions . along our coast. - "They say a large portion of the Oyster maturing grounds formerly used In - this State have been temporarily destroyed as a result of this pollution. In what special instances has it been shown that the shellfish industry has been badly crippled? "AH the available property along our shores during the last twenty years has been bought up, cut into small building lots, and sold to parties for summer homes. There is probably an average of one hundred summer cot tages built and occupied to-day, where-! there was one occupied twenty years ago, which means there are thousands of people now fishing and digging clama continuously along our shores, where formerly hundreds of people used to fish and dig periodically. This explains the scarcity of fish and clama and the same argument applies to our rivers and inland streams. Besides there aire thousands of people bathing to-day in - the tidal -waters bordering Long Island Sound where formerly a very few enjoyed the privilege. How many of these people's health has been Injured by taking a morning and ev ening dip in the waters of Long Island Sound? "Where does this garbage come from which Is being spread along the coast? It cannot possibly come from cities that collect their own garbage the same as our city does, and are having the same properly taken care of at reduction plants. It must come then from the hundreds of vessels sailing in and but of bur harbors, such as oyster boats, canal boats, tug boats, yachts and all classes of sailing craft. The owners of which purchase all kinds of supplies In our cities and towns fdr the support of their employees, and necessarily the watermelon and musk melon rinds, the orange, lemon and banana peels and all the trimmings of the vegetables and the bloody wrap ping papers in which market supplies sfrei tied, are thrown (overboard in large quantities from- all these vessels, which garbage Is afterwards scattered upon our shores by the action of the tide. Although it is J. well known fact that this waste material, after being thoroughly soaked in salt water Is as harmless to do Injury to the public health as a lot of wooden shav ings would be, still the scatterings of this garbage along our shore influ ences the minds of many people that they personally must be In a sense in jured by the polluted condition of the waters bordering our coast, when Na ture for generations past, has always provided right at our doors a large and ample body of salt and antiseptic water for the protection of the peo ple's health, and to think that Nature in future years cannot be ' trusted to give us the same protection, is the height of folly. "Where is there a single Instance of death from epidemics caused "by the pollution; of the sewage emptying into the waters of Long Island Sound? You will find that as far. as polluting the waters of Long . Island Sound Is con cerned, it is infinitesimal, in . its per centage, and when conditions become one-twentieth part as bad as has been painted, it will be ample time to give this matter consideration. "All sanitary sewer systems up.to the present time have been erected In the line of tests and experiments for in land streams, but not for cities and towns bordering on Long island Sound or where large bodies of , water are available, and where these new sewer systems have been installed on Inland streams, engineers tof- these several systems have different methods for planning and building sewer plants for these different locations. ... "Up to the present time.no sewer system has ever been proved: or test ed that will show one-tenth as good results as Nature has provided for us in the cities and towns bordering Long Island Sound. If I was a Senator or Representative from one of these cit ies and towns located' on our coast, I should never want to face my constit uents again, if I voted to clothe the members of the State Board of Health with unlimited powers to order and di rect the construction of new and ex perimental sewer systems in these cit ies and towns. . The cities and towns bordering Long Island ' Sound could r easily spend in the next ten to twenty years from $50,000,000, to $100,000,000, to reconstruct all of their present seWer systems and build experimental sewer systems 'to please these Oyster Industries. And after every city and town along our shore had met with these require ments, they would find when too late that no material benefits had been de rived or the death rates lessened In any particular, or the cultivation of oysters improved, but the tax pay ers-who own-small homes in all these and Colored Hemp, Chip and 48c to $3.50. effects, whichever you prefer. towns and cities, most of which are mortgaged, would have the larger part of these enormous sewer assessments to pay during their life time and their children after them would also have to be assessed during their natural lives for no benefits received, before the final payment of , these bonds reached maturity. The average citl zen and the poorer class of working people give little attention or thought to the many schemes that are contin uously being proposed to increase tax es, spend their money, and load them down with enormous debts until ifs too late to be remedied. "People are easily influenced by a good talk, who without looking or in quiring into the opposite side of Im portant questions like this often com mit themselves to certain policies, and after hearing the other side of 4he question, hesitate to acknowledge that they were mistaken. "The representative men of our State who as legislators, reside in Hartford more or less for five or six months at a time, where the sewage at the pres ent time is discharged into the Con 'necticut River by a system of combin ation sewers, would not enjoy any bet ter health,- or appetite, or sleep more soundly than they do to-day even It new and unnecessary sewer systems were installed. ' . "The cities and' towns bordering Long Island Sound, which have sew ered into the waters of the Sound since their first settlement, were given prior rights to use these waters for sewage purposes long before the oys ter industries were ever known or heard of.. "Engineers universally say that where there are large oodles of wa ter to sewer into, the present method of disposing of the sewage cannot be improved upon. "It would be 500 per cent, cheaper for the cities and towns bordering Long Island Sound to bond themselves and purchase all the oyster Industries In the State, rather than to have this bill passed."

TELEPHONE CLUB'S BRILLIANT DANCE LARGELY ATTENDED - A. dance of unusual brilliance was that of the Telephone Club, celebrated at Colonial Hall last night when the telephone girls danced away the night amidst of brilliancy of costume, music and calcium light effects which will long be remembered. Amidst a veritable grove of sway ing palms Speidel's augmented or chestra had' been arranged on the main floor and with the aid of special instruments lent color to such a pro gram as "Here Comes My Daddie," "In My Harum," "Good Night Nurse," "Rose Maid," "Midnight Choo Choo," etc. A calcium spot-light arranged In the eallerv and equipped with "color- screens lent entrancing effect upon the5- dancers below as the lights were dim- ed. It is estimated that at least five hundred attended during the hours of dancing. A number of the company's officials from New Haven, Stamford and other surrounding towns were present. . Under the direction of J. M. Pardee, chairman of the general committee and a reception committee constituted by the Telephone Club members, the following floor committee in charge of R. S. Baggs, chairman, made the occasion an enjoyable one: F. E. Gart land, R. F. McAullffe, G. E. Hine, C. C. Dodge, T. A. Dowd, W. R. Foote, G. E. Betts, F. E. Beebe, S. B. O'Brien, F. J. Dlgney, W. W.

Former United States Senator William Lori mer, of Illinois, today, will appeal to the .United States public health ser vice to detail at least one of its ex perts to inquire into the alleged "cure" for tuberculosis said to have been discovered by Dr. Peter P. Duket, of Chicago. The former Senator ar rived, yesterday, and made an en gagement for the personal Interview with Surgeon General Blue. Mr. Lorimer expressed confidence In the Chicago physician's discovery. He declared that more than. 100 cases are being treated successfully and that the treatment used by Dr. Duket b3 been tested by a committee of the most prominent physicians In Chicago. Mr. Lorimer announced his willing ness to bear the expense of sending a federal expert to make the investiga tion. The public health service now is en gaged in an Investigation of the al leged "cure" of Dr. Frederich F. Friedmann. An inquiry Into the Duk et statement probably also will be made. The Supreme court has decided that the Northern Pacific Railway Co. is liable for the debts of the North ern Pacific Railroad Co., in the suit brought by Joseph - H. Boyd. LEAVES $200,000 FOR CANCER CURE Henry Rutherford Gives It to Rockefeller Institute to Seek Cause and Treatment New York, April 29 One of the larg est funds created for cancer research work since 1909, when George Crocker, of California, gave about $1,000,000 for that purpose, is that which Henry Rutherford creates in his well, which was filed in the Surrogate's Court yes terday. Mr. Rutherford leaves 1200, 000 to the Rockefeller Institute, the income from which is to be applied for "investigations into the causes and nature of the disease known as cancer and the methods of Its prevention and treatment." Mr. Crocker conveyed his house at No. 1 East 64th- street to Columbia University for the same purpose. This property was valued at J1,000,000. Mr. Rutherford, who died on Febru ary 25, was a resident of Grand Isle, Vt. He died at the Hotel Astor. He gives to Charles K. Phlpard, .of No. 739 Putnam avenue, Brooklyn, execu tor of his well, $100,000 "In kind re membrance ' for any services rendered to me and as a token of friendship." He leaves to Dr. and Mrs. George E. Steel, of No. 256 West 79th street, and Elizabeth Clark Pearsall, of the same address, $50,000 each, and Thomas W. Rutherford, with an office at No. 16 Court street, Brooklyn, receives a sim ilar amount. Mary P. Nicholson, of Philadelphia, receives an annuity of $1,200. . The residue of the estate, is left to relatives of the testator, and the peti tion- for probate shows that so far the executor has located sixty-eight cous ins of Mr. Rutherford, some of whom live in England. POINTS TO REMEMBER WHEN SCORING GAME Earned Runs to Determine Pitchers Standing; in -the Big League. - Ban Johnson has issued detailed in structions to his official scorers which are of interest to everybody interest ed m baseball. . Last yeaor John Heyd ler. secretary of the National league, drew up a table rating ,. pitchers by earned runs off them. This year John son has gone into the earned run sub ject in . careful detail and his Instruc tions, as devising a way of forming a correct estimate of .a pitcher's value, will appeal to the followers of the game as having . considerable merit. The American' league president's In structions to his scorers are as fol lows: , 7 Tour attention is called to several changes In the league for this season the more important of them being for the purpose of establishing "as a basis for computing the official records of pitchers, a modification of the former "earned run. This Is designed to re place the won and lost system of rat ing pitchers' ability. To accomplish this it is desired to obtain a complete record of -the runs for which each pitcher was practically responsible something quite different from the basis Idea of the former "earned, run." In determining the number of "runs earned by opponents" In the pitchers' summary this year please follow this rule: Charge the pitcher with an "earned run" every time a player completes the circuit and scores 'by the . base hits, sacrifice hits, stolen bases, bases on balls, batsmen hit, wild pitches, and balks before chances to retire the side have been offered and missed. The intent of the rule Is to In clude under "earned runs" all the fac tors that produce runs for which the pitcher Is chiefly responsible. Runs scored as a result of fielding errors of all kinds or passed -balls are not to be charged to the pitcher in this computation. Runs should not be charged against the pitcher, even if scored by clean hitting, . after good chances to retire the side have been offered and not accepted by the field era including the pitchers. Complications" and differences of opinion ' may arise regarding certain runs,- particularly when l change of pitchers occurs with men on bases. In such cases the scorer should use his own judgment or include the .facta and the difficulty encountered in his official report of the game, so that faults In the system may be remedied as far as possible. It will no longer be necessary to determine the "winning" and "losing' pitcher, which will offset partially the additional task of computing "runs earned by opponents." An "earned run" column has been added to the Individual record of the batsmen and also columns showing Individual bas es on balls and strike-outs. RECORD BROKEN BY AMERICAN SWIMMERS It has been said by competent au thorities that, had the American wa termen who competed in last summer's Olympic games at Stockholm . shown the form displayed by them through out the Indoor season Just closed, vic tory for this country.' would have re sulted. .Figures go to prove It. There is no doubt that the time made at the furlong in recent events would have won the 800 meter relay race and it is equally sure that the brilliant perfor mance exhibited at the longer dis tances would have landed at least places, possibly firsts, in the 400 and 1,500 meter free style swims in .which we did not score a single point.' The wonderful improvement witness ed in every branch of aquatic sports, an improvement including not only a few individual stars, but all watermen as a class, is very gratifying, for it promises that the day Is fast ap proaching when Americans will reign supreme in swimming as they do In track and field athletics. Particularly, pleasing is the realiza tion that in tests of endurance our swimmers are progressing by great strides. Never before have we boast ed such speedy quarter and half-mll-ers as Perry McG-illivray, IHarry Hb ner, Nicholas iNerlch and A. C. Raith el, and It may be confidently predict ed that they will do as well at the mile as soon as the open water season affords the chance. No better proof can be adduced of the irresistible advance of our amphi bious athletics than the long list of standards established by them during the past few months. Perry. McGllli- vray of the IlliAols Athletic club of Chicago was the first to score last Oc tober, when he traveled 4 40 yards in 5 minutes 23 2-5 seconds, beating the 5 minutes 31 2-5 seconds mark .held by the great C.

In the Davis Cup matches in June was Indicated in a - telegram which R. D. Wrenn recelvea yesterday from Dr.' Sumner Hardy. Both A. B. Jones and Horace Rice played in practice in San Francisco on Satur day, and both, although smalt and wiry men not over 6 feet 7 Inches in height, made a most favorable im pression. In his telegram to Wrenn the Executive Committeeman says as follows: "Jones, Rice and E. W. Hicks, the manager of the Australasian Lawn Tennis Association, arrived Friday In excellent condition. They at once be gan practice. In play Jones shows remarkable strength. He has a very strong, all-round game, with a good hard, well-placed service and swift drives, both fore and back hand. "Rice's service is rather slower. He is left-handed and very strong on his back court drives. He also covers ground rapidly and places well. Like McLoughlin, Rice can make short cross-court drives very effectively. Both men appear to be unusually fast volleyers. They will arrive In New York about -May 8. Their itinerary en route includes Los Angeles. Grand Canyon, Chicago and Niagara."

Suspected of "squealing" to the district attorney, Jerry Malda, known as "Jerry th Lunchman," met his appointed death on 41st street near Broadway, early today. He was shot down by gang sters who sent five bullets Into his body. The. shooting occurred only a couple of blocks away from the scene of the murder of Herman Rosenthal, last July, but the gunmen had less luck than the Rosenthal murder crew. Five policemen who were in the Im mediate vicinity heard tho shots and pounced upon five men whom they ac cused of the killing. The police allege that the men they caught are members of the Paul KeDy band of gangsters of which Jerry was an adherent. They say that Jerry lud recently fallen under suspicion, how ever, and that he was thought to be revealing the gang's secrets to Dis trict ' Attorney Charles S. Whitman. None of the men caught were armed but witnesses said they had seen them throw revolvers away and three of the guns were found In a . garbage can nearby. James Jesto, one of the prisoners, was severely beaten by the officer who captured him. The police say that "Guinea Sam," another prisoner, was under araest two years ago in connec tion with the murder of another mem ber of the gang under similar circum stances. ADVERTISE IN THE FARMER.
