Dr. W. V. Styles of South Hero, and
E. M. Plke of Mendon on Uie paper
dellvered the prevlous evenlng by H.
L. Stillson o Bennington. Dr.
Styles dwelt Impresslvely on tho im
portance of saving the eyesight of
new born Infants and desjcribed the
one per cent solutlon of nitrate of
silvcr whlch 1s accesslble to all peo
ple. He urged Its use not only amoug
poor and Ignorant but araong all
classes. He advocated antltoxin as a
preventive as well as curative raeasure
in caso of dlphtherla tendencles and
urged that the health offlcer slnk hts
prlvate capaclty of physlcian ln hls
dutles to the pulillc regardless of prl
vate practlce. "We must meddle
sometimes," he satd, "whfcther It

Mr. Pike, by way ot Introductlon,
sald that the nearest he lcamc to being
a doctor was when he was called in
the case of a slck cow whlch died but
that the great advance of sanltary
science in the last quarter century
as not to bc ignoi'ed. He discussed
t f pure food, pure water and pure
alr problems nnd referred especially
and harinful to man. He urged the
olimlnatlon cf the dust nuisance by
construction of other than sand roads,
olling tho streets, etc. "One auto
moblle," he sald, "creates more dust
trivance of chlmueys and resetting of
boilers, a wethod entirely within the
reach of all.
Mr. Stillson closed the dlscusslon
on. hls paper wlth the intormatlon
that twenty-two and one half per cent
of fuel might he saved by new con
tian a caravan of wagons."
l'rof. Kober's I'npcr.
Probably the most imporlant source
of Inforniatlon on a vltal matter was
tho address of Prof. George M. Kober,
of Oeorgetown University, Washing
ton, D. C, whose subject was "Dis
eases that Menaice Public Health and
Morals." Prof. Kober, whose paper
appears later as a portion of a report
of Investigatlng committees upon
whlch he 1s serving, sald in part:
"At the meeting of the American
Public Health Association ln 1909 a
commlttee was appointed to consider
and report upon the best methods of
educatlng the public wlth refpect to
the communicablllty and prcvention
of gonorrhoea and syphills. The so
clologlcal and economilc iniportance
of tliese disoases have long been ap
preciated by the medical profession
and lntelllgent laymen.especially those
who have witnessed the sad effects
germ laden and injurious to .crops
to the smoke nuisance, the dust rals
ed by automobiles on sandy.hlghways.
among tho Inmates of hospitals, prls
ons, alinshouses, asylums for the In
sane, the bllnd, etc. In 1S5S, Dr. W.
W. Sanger, the resldent physlcian o
Blackwell's Island, prefaced a report
ln part as follows:
" 'Hltherto reticonce has been tho
policy. This position has been held
too long for it 1s false in principle
and injurious in tcndeucy. The day
has arrived when tho shroud must be
r moval, when those who regard It
as a small wrong may have thelr at
tntion directed to the real propor
tions. A sniall matter it is not.
Nor is It unnianagoablo exicept when
concealed. Stripped of secrecy, there
appeara vlce arislng from nn lnoxtin
gulshable natural Impulse on tho part
of one sex, fostered by conildlng
k weakness in the other, from social
" dlsabllitles on one side and social op
presslon on tho other; from the wlles
of the decelver worklng upon unsus
pectlng credullty and from the stern
necessity to Uve.' Another physlcian
eays, 'In our puritanical prudenco we
have been taught not to talk of cor
taln dlseases whiieh now gnaw at the
very fundameutals of society. When
we try to study such dlseases, wo
have been rehuked as morbidly cu
rious nnd those who call attentlon to
tho evil have been discredlted as fad
dists looklng for notorloty.'
"Andstlll another physlcian: 'Retl
conce on those subjects Is juatlfled
only so far as It makes for youthful
lnnocence. But ignoranco Is not In
nocenco; on the contrary, It la tho
surest road to gullt.'
Statistlcs of Venereal Dlseases.
"Tho abaenjce ot accurate statlstlca
ln venereal dlaeases ln clvil llfe Is to
bo deplored. Our present mortallty
statistlcs aro also woefully defectlve
slmply becauso the attending physlcian
prefera to sparo tho feolings ot tho
frlenda of the deceased by Iguorlng
the prlmary causo of death. Compul
Bory notlflcatlon ls exacted ln Deu
mark, prlvacy being sateguarded by n
number.
"We all agree In our combat wlth
communlcablo dlseases, it ls necessary
to locate tlio aourcos of Infactlon, and
that wo can never hopo to stamp out
the 'gorm dlseases' unless we stop ttye
dlssemlnatlou of tho germs. How
ovor encouraglng our efforts to dl
mlnlsh tho rnvages of tuborculosls,
complete success ls only po33lblo by
protnpt dlagnosls, compulsory notlfl
catlon and thls ls true of sexual dls
eases.
"The ethlcal objectlona advanced
agalnst compulsory notlflcatlon ln tu
berculosls wlll be urged wlth greater
vehemenjce ln thls class of dlseases;
all these objections fall to the ground
however, when the public understanda
that sexual dlseases are a meuace to
public health and the records of the
Health Offlce need not be dlsclosed
except to public offlclals. Educatlon
wlll create suffictent public sentlment
in favor of enllghtened preventive
meaaures and the splrlt of the re30
lutlona adopted at a Berlin congresa
should be our gulde:
" 'The public must be taught that
instead of being ashamed of '- e dls
eases and not fearirv,; i nee(
not be ashap'' n ESm, but must
fear them.' "
Army Statistlcs.
"Whlle we have 110 rellable statis
tlcs ln clvil llfe, an approxlmate Idea
may be gotten by a study of army sta
tistlcs and the followlng table record
Ing tho total venereal dlseases among
1000 enlisted xnen of mean atrength
tells its own slory:
U. S. Anny 191
U. S. Navy 150
Brltish Army 75
Spanlsh Army 67
Ruaslau Army 60
Austrian Army 54
Japaneae Army 37
Bavarian Army . ; 15
It is a lamentable fact that the
United State3 and Great Brltatn, typl-
cal Anglo-Saxon natlons should lead
all other armles ln the prevalence of
venereal diseases. Our populatlon is
uot less vlrtuous than foreign coun-
trles but prevalence is largely due to
the fact that the sentlment ln tliese
two countrles is against recognizlng
the evil and therefore It has not been
made a subject of popular educatlon.
The surgeou general's report says:
Taklng all venereal diseases together
wlth thcir results, thls class of infec
tions lcontinues to Increase as might
be expected of any cor.tagious dlsease
agalnst whlch 110 measures of prcven
tion or lsolation are taken.' It may
be contended that enlisted nien are
not representative of our clvil popu
latlon and the general morale of the
personnel of these sallor3 has stead
ily Improved in the last ten years and j
that the source of supply is the clvil
populatlon, some far above the aver
age ln polnt of virtue. Tliey contract
these diseases, uot ln their own quar
ters, but in surroundtng clvil commu
nities as they would contract typhold
fever if It happened to be prevalent.
In fact the dlseases aro more preva
lent in tho undi3c!pllned forces of
clvil llfe than in enlUted clrcles.
Other Statistlcs.
"Statistlcs collected in 190S show
that out of 274,611 patients treated in
Washington hospitals, there were 27,
947 cases of sexual dlseases, the ma
jority of cases belonglng to the de-
pendent classes although tt ls said to
be a question whether a large number
of young men of uppor and middle
classes do not suffer in youth from
some form of venereal dlsease.'
"The morbidlty from venereal dls
eases has been found to be six tlmes
greater than that from any other
named infectlous dlseases comblned In
a certain dlstrict studied. Between
three and four million cases are an
nually treated In this country."
Professor Kober named the gener
al characteristlcs of venereal dlseas
es in detail, treatlng syphills, gonor
rhoea, etc. Every physlcian is famil
iar wlth cases contracted among chll
dren ln some Instances undcr most re
voltlng clrcumstancos. The dlsease
may be carried from chlld to child by
nurses who care for lnfqcted and un
lnfected children.
l'reventhe Measurcs.
"Very competent jtidges," he sald,
hold that the social diseases aro the
most poworful of all factors in the de
generatlon and depopulatlon of the
world. The sanitarlan suggests that
a person thus Infiicted is as much a
mcnaco to public health as a case of
smallpox and po'yits to tho poriodlcal
inspcction and Uetection and ,cures
wrought in Europe in the way of of
ficial control of prostltution. Tho
medical profession ls not agreed on
tho propriety of this mothod as pro-
duclng a false senso of security. In
the crusado, thus far spasmodically
made, every effort has been made to
apprehend tho woman offender. Ev
ery attempt to mako laws upon tho
subject whlch apply to women and
not to men ls most unjust and estab
lishcs a dlfferent standard of morallty
for. the two sexe3.

Ottawa, Ont., Aug. 2. The atrike,

Under the terma ot tho agreement
slgued by President Haya for the

tho men wlll recelve 18 per cent, 'and
beglnning January 1, 1912, a rate ot

Much credlt for the successtul out-
come of the peace negotlatlons is
given to W. h. MacKenzie King, the
Mlnister of Labor, who has porslsted
in hls efforta to brlng tho men togeth

The text of the agreement follows:
'The company wlll put back as soon
as posslble the men other than those
who have been, or may be, found
guilty of acts of violence or disor

"The State should insist on compul

and the enforcement of pollce regula

and encouraglng a general eduication

necessary concernlng the usefulness
ot various advertlsed cures by 'swind
lers and frauds, many of them ex-
crimlnals in other flelds.' "
A Lively Dlscussion.
Prof, Kober's paper was discussed
by several physiclans, Dr. W. W.
Townshend of Rutland bclug unable
to be present and Rov. C. C. St.
Claire of Morrisville led tho dlscus
sion from tho clorgyman's standpolnt
presentlng a very strong argumont for
sano t'reatmcnt of sexual diseases by
professlonal men, physilclans and
clergyraen nlike, "There ls nothlug
ln thls country today, he sald, "that
especially eonciis young tuople
than tho need ln these llnes of first

home, careless suggestlons outslde.are
worklng a haneful lniluonco for tho

ed compulsory hyglene in the schools
and physlcal examination ot young
men and women wlth tho power in
vested ln tho proper authorlties to pre
vent unious whili would be undorslr
ablo when posslble.
Dr. C. W. Peck of Brandon, Dr,
D. CJ. Noblo of Brandon and Dr. C.
P. Ball ot Rutland partlclpated ln tho
general dlscusslon ot tho paper and
Dr. H. D. Holtou added n word of
Interest, Dr. Kober closlng tho dls
cusslon. "Thoro ls n greater daugor,"
he sald, "becauso tho question la ta
booed by so many people orroneoualy

Mcdlcnl Inspcction.
Dr. H. A. Wood of Waltham, Masa.,
dellvered an excellent paper on "Med
ical Inapectlon of tho Schoola." Dr.
Wood Is an lnspectlng physlcian of
wldo oxperlonco and left no doubt ln
tho mlnda of hls hnarers as to tho ex
collonco ot hls plan already ndppted
by many cltles. Ho sald in part;
"Medical inapectlon haa proved its
worth already. It has como to stay
although it is qulto recent ln thls
country. Ita purpose la to take pre
cautlonary moaaurea whlch safoguard

(Contlnued ou pago 5.)
"Thie company will put into effect
from May 1, 1910, tho rate3 named in
tho schedule of ratea dated July 18,
1910, those ratea to be embodied ln
the 'present schedule3 now in effect
on thls llne, lt being understood that
thoae rates shall in no iuatance ef
fect a reduction in an exlstiug rate.
"The company will, on January 1,
1912, make effectlve in traln and yard
aervice on the Grand Trunk Rallway
the ratea of pay and j the rules cou
tatned ln tho scheduid or agreeWnt
on thtit date ln effect on' the linea of
the Canadian Paclflc Rallway east of
Fort Wllliam.
"The three above propositions shall
apply also to tho Central Vermont
Railroad Company, the sald railroad
to be substituted ror the Canadian
Paciflc Rallway wherever the same
are used or understood in the above."
The agreement ls signed by Charlea
M. Hays, president ot the Grand
John Maloney, J. A. Conner, W. E.
Berry, P. A. Herbert for the Brother-
hood of Rallway Trainmen, and ap
proved by Presidenta a. B. Garret-1
snn nnil vv n T.no ntltl Vlna Traal. I
dents S. N. Berry and James Mur
dock. The men thi3 obtaln two conce3
slons over tffe terma ortered by Pres
ident Hays on the afternoon ot the
day they etruck.
First, tho standardi'stion ot pay
and rules wlth tbosJToontly con
ceded by tho Canadian Paciflc takes
place on January 1, 1912, instead ot
January 1, 1913, as offered by Hays
a gain of ono year. Against thls must
be placed the fact that tho Canadian
Pacllic standard and rules are not
quite tlJose of the eastern association,
whlch the men' demanded from the
Grand Trunk, but slightly lower.
Secondly, tho ofter made by Mr.
Hays to the men on July 18 ls ac-
cepted, to hold untll the standardiza-
tiou is adopted on January 1, 1912,
but the iucreased rate ot pay made
In that offer la made retroactlve from
Mayl, last. The men, therefore, gain
two and a half montbs of the In
crease, the offer of Mr. Hays being
when made only effectlve from date.
Agalnst these two galns must be
placed the fact that the men are only
to be restored to their former posi
tlons "as soon as possibla." How
much they lose in this way only tlme
can tell, as the company is not under
obligation to dischargo any of the
men lt lms taken on stnce the strlke
was called, nor to reduco them ln
rank
In the case ot the Central Ver
mont tho same settlement npp'ies
wlth tho exception that tho standard
izatlon to be applled on January 1,
1912, ls to bo that of the Rutland
road, a road ln the same territoryand
uot that of the Canadian Pftdflc,
whicH wlll only apply to tho Grand
Trunk system.
President Garretson of the Con
ductora and President Leo of tho
trainmen both declaro that they are
satlsfled with the terma of tho set
tlement. Both pay hlgh trlbute to
MacKenzei King and Sir Frederlck
Borden, tho two cabinet minlstors
who worked asslduously in brlugiug

Nothlug ls stated ln the n.greement
in regard to penslon and Mr. Garret

that the matter waa not onco men

Fathor, Que., July 31 Dr. Hawley
Harvey Crippen nnd Ethel Clare Le
novo, hla stenographer, who iied from
London after the dlsappearance ot
Belle Elmore, the doctor's wlfe, were
arreated horo today aboard tho Can
adian Paciflc llner Montro3e, at the
command of Inspector D.ew of Scot
land Yard.
The ldentlfication or the fugltlves
by the Engliah detectlvo marked tho
culminatlon ot one of the moat aen
satlonal flighta ln recent criminal an
nala. Accompanled by two Canadian
officers, he boarded the veasel at 8:30
o'clock thls mornlng, and fifteen mln
utes later . both man and Irl
wero locked ln their staterooms, Crip
pen broken In splrlt but mentally re
lleved by relaxed tenalon; the glrl
garbed ln boy's clothing, aobblng hya
terloally. They were no longer the
Rev. John Robinson and son as book
ed from Antwerp on .Tulyv20.
After" a brlef delay the Montrose
contlnued her 160 mlle journey up the
river towards Quebec, where jall
awalted the pair. Crippen la charg
ed wlth tho murder ot an unknown
woman. Tlie glrl 13 held a3 an ac
sessory. They will be taken back to
England on the steamship Royal
George, loaving Quebec on Thursday
Shortly after 7:30 o'clock the Mont
rose pushed her nose through the fog
and at 8:15 the pilot boat Eureka
set out from the shore. She carried a
host of newspaper men and photo
graphers and as many townspoople
as could crowd aboard.
But Inspector Dew was not among
them. He had embarked on the Eu
reka's small tender, accompanled by
Chief McCarthy of tho Quebec police,
and ex-Chicf Denis of the same city.
All wore the garb of pllota and
over. hls llorid face, Inspector Dew
had pulled a pilot's vizored cap. He
dld not wlsh Crippen to recognizehlm
before he could approach and take
atlvantage of the only avenue of es
cape sulcide. Four satlors qutckly
rowed the tender alongslde the Mont-
roso and Dew and hls companions
stepped aboard.
Crippen was standlng near tho rall
talking wlth Dr. Stuart, the shlp's
surgeon. That he was nervous wa3
Indlcated by hls furtive glances and
hls reinark to Dr. Stuart: "There are
three pilots comlng aboard." he satd
nervously. "Is that not unusual?" The
physlcian dld not reply, but kept hla
eyo on the stranger who walked rap-
Idly toward them.
"Crippen, I want you," said Inapec
tor Dew quietly as he approached.
The dentlst recolled lnvoluntarily as
he recognlzed tho man addresslng
him, then the blood left his face, hls
breath camo short nnd fast and ho
gurgled incoherently. As ho was be
ing led awav to the captain's cabln,
whence he was trausferred later to
hls own stateroom, he said grateful
ly: "Thank God, the susppnso is over,
and I am glad."
Crlppen's nrrcst accompllshed, Dew
hurried to Miss Leneve's stateroom,
where he found her, stlll dressed ns
"John Robinson, Jr.," on tho vergo
of nervous brealcdown. Her appear
ance when told that she was under ar
rest, was pitiable. All control that
she had fought so hard to retaln
throughout tho voyago left her. She
crled out hysterically and became so
fnint that restoratlves were admin
isterod. Shut in her rorm and res
tored to woman's dresa, sho was
closely guarded as tho vessel contln
ued Its journey, for fear that ahe
would tako her llfe or collapse ut
tcrly. Wlth both under arrest the Mont
rose's whlstle sounded hoarsely a
slgnal to tho waitlng Eurelca that
Dew's aearch was at an cnd. Imme
diately tho pilot boat came nlongsido
nnd the newspaper men and photo
graphers swarmed aboard. Crippen
tho found handcuffed ln hls state
room and Mlss Lenevo under the caro
of a physlcian ln her room.
The news by this ttmo hal sprcad

duped throughout the voyage by tho
bogus clergyman and hls retlrlng, ef
