MARINDA C, BUTLER ROBINSON. Danielson, Sept. 6th, 1916. Disease Carriers. Mr. Editor: We read in'the columns of the daily papers of Sept. 7th that health department officials announced that persons who recovered from in- fantile paralysis previous to the pres- ent epidemic had contributed morg than seven zallons of: biood tc be used s serum in the treatment of cases 10w in hospitals. E. E. Storrs in the columns of the New York Herald of Sept. 6th has this to say: It would seem that the most el mentary knowledge of things medieal would call a halt to the use of serum (in experimental practice on children to find a remedy for poilomyelitis) o ained from the blgod of indiscrimi- accepted volunt or from people now invited by Mr. Dela- of the citizens' committee to sell r blood at $5 a persoh. If it ever ild be claimed that the sources of volunteer or commercial product chosen with care, we all know that there not adequate time in which to make rough tests of their physical condition. Latent disease, predisposi- on, inheritance and habits lie very | subtly hidden sometimes, perhaps of- | ten. unrevealed to a hasty or superficial | examination. ] of disease carrier: This method. invites carriers of many } varieties of blood taint to transmit it to the ung of our c The is fraught numberless ers and is a destructive theory. Have not many of the alling and dead ldren already been poisoned by com- | mercial vaccines? Two sufferers of| imy acquaintance under three years of age were vaccinated in November and were among the first to die in this epidemic, one with the vaccination wound unhealed. Would it not be} iner to prevent taint rather than ex- periment with matter derived from i taint? According to an editorial writer in the New York Sun an official of tha health department predicts the end of the present epidemic about the mid- dle of this month, but promises an- other but smaller epidemic to Be ex- pected next summer. The Sun's ed- itor proceeds to give over a half col- jumn of advice to the health authori- {tles on how they should ‘proceed to zate this mysterious disease. He : When the epidemic ends, if providentially it does end, it would be well for the health department, with h scientific help as it may find it se and becoming to accept from te and national experts, to investi- | mysterious disease. It never seems to have dawned upon the Sun's editor that this mysterious disease is sult of violated naturai law by those same scientific experts who have been given autocratic power over the lives and health of our chil- dren. If the Sun's editor thinks gor a minute that this question can be solved by knocking at the portals of the Rockefeller institute or fawning at the feet of the American Medical as- soclation, he will probably be griev- ously disappointed. Dr. W. J. Shrews- bury in a current number of an inde- pendent medical journal says: The unknown god today is serum-therapy, ani before this impossible and un- fathomable idol bow the chief priests and wise men of the allopathic school. It needs no prophet to foresce that the manifest destiny of this graven image is eventually to be discarded and cast out upon the mountairous junk heap of medical delusions. But who can look down the vista of the coming fifty vears without a pitying eye, which sees.the army of the mutllated and the.slain—the muiltitude of men, women and children who will vet be offered up in the cause of pseudo science before the wretched, ugly mo- loch of serum-therapy shall have been appeased.

Up—Welcome Main and Barker Confesses—They On-Christmas eve of 1915, the resi- in the town of Hopkinton, was burned to the ground. The house is situated in a lonely spot, far removed from the highway and a long distance from oth er houses. The fire-illuminated sky ‘was noted, but the location of the fire was not positively known until last Christmas morning, when nothing of the house remained but the foundation. In the ruins was the charred remains of Thomas Dorr Main, and there was deep mystery surrounding the cause of the fire and the death of the aged Mr. Main. . The medical examiner and coroner made an investigation, but the mystery remained. John R. Wilcox, sheriff for Wash- ington county, and Deputy Sheriff Bennett, were_satisfled that Mr. Main had been murdered. As no trace of a gun he owned could be found in the ruins, Sheriff Wilcox was of the opinion that the missing gun accen- trated ‘his belief that it was a clear case of murder und robbery, and per- haps arson. With practically no basis for de- tective work, Sheriff Wilcox, assisted by Deputy Bennett, decided to give the affair the closest possible attention, and they did. After nearly nine months of persistent sleuthing, the mystery has been unravelled and the murdererg arrest. Tuesday morning Sheriff Wilcox and Deputy Bennett arrested Welcome Main, a well digger by occupation, and John Barker, a mill operative. Eoth were arrested in Hope Valley and brought to the police station In West- erly. They were charged with the murder of Thomas Dorr Main, then i both men were separated. Welcome Main denied any knowledge of tho murder and at the outset he decired he could tell of his every move the night of December 24, 1915, W questioned he could teil noth « ceniber 28 or 24. The sheriff y isfied that Main knew much of t crime and had paved the way to e plain an alibi in the event of arrest John Barker. was questioned by the sheriff and made a clear confession, which implicated Welcome Main. He said: i “Welcome Main planned to rob Thomas Dorr Main about three weeks before the night of the murder. On that night Main and I went to the house and made a call on Thomas Dorr Main. After a while we came out, and Welcome fired a couple of | shots through the window at Thomas Main, but did not hit him. Then Thomas came to the door with a lamp in one hand and a gun in the other. He opened the door and, shouted: ‘For God's sake; what's the matter?” Then Welcome fired again and Thomas Main fell, the lighted lantern setting the house afire. Then Welcome took Thomas’ money and the gun and we went off and left the house to burn and with it the body of Thomas Dorr Main, who was killed by a bullet from a revolver held by Welcome Main. T think Welcome was a distant relative of Thomas and they seemed to be on friendly terms. I not receive but very little of the money, and was warned to keep my mouth’ shut under penalty of death.* Since John R,_Wilcox became sheri he has apprehended, the p. pals in six murder cases, and in the five that | preceded the present convictions re- sulted. In the present case the evi- dence at the start s even stronger than in any other case. Main and Barker were arraigned Friday night in the Third Dis court on the charge of murder. Th and were held with=* Third pleaded not gui out bail for examination in the District court, September 27.

The most important case is the charge of manslaughter against | Charles Mansfield, who is held re- sponsible for the deaths in the Brad- ford railroad wreck. He was en-| gineer of the Gilt Edge express that crashed into the rear end of accommo. dation train 623, that resulted in the| death of four persons, and injuring| several others. did not obey the slgnals.

Willlams, in the Third district court, Friday, to show cause why he shouid not pay to Jitneyman Arthur Debreille, the sum of $509, or S0 much thereof as the court might direct. The jitney car was quar- tered in the Rodman garage, and on the night of July 22, last, it is al- leged that Rodman took the car out, the owner denying that there was agreement whereby Rodman was al- lowed to use the car, when none other was available by paying a fair price for the use. When Debruelle called for the car at six in the morning it | was not in the garage. At nine o'clock Rodman drove in_and Debrielle de- manded $25 _for the use of the car and took it from the Rodman garage. Later 350 was the chargoe demanded by Debrielle. Upon refusal to pay, sult was instituted and damages placed at $300. +The, testimony in the case showed color.

He clatmed that the value of the car had depre- ciated 3150 by reason of the damage incidental to the operation of the car by Rodman. Before this same car was taken in for repairs, and the day )f its return by Rodman, it was in ollision with another = automobile near the railway station. Debrielie stated that the damage caused by the collision was repaired at an expense of $2.50. Argument was made for the Dlaintiff by Attorney McKenna and for the defendant by Attorney Led- widge. Judge Williams reserved de- cision. John Abraham, for peddling without a license, was fined $5 and costs.
