Health Commissioner. Goldwater, who has started officially to show up the evils of drunkenness, sat {m his office this afternoon and dealt the Demon Rum a series of body blows. Across the street perspiring men with sty looks were going Into places foaming drinks are served and coming out with undisguised expres- sions of satisfaction Goldwater glanced apprehon- sively at the eager stream of human- ity, sighed and said: “If these people understood thor- oughly about the effects of alcohol they would not be so eager, Alcohol impairs the tone of the muscles and lessens the products of laborers, It depreciates the skill and endurance of artisans; it impairs the memory, multiplies industrial accidents, causes chronic diseases of the heart, liver, stomach and kidneys; increases the death rate from pneumonia and tes- sens the natural immunity to Infec- tlous diseases.” Still the crowds kept going and coming. The reporter, being strictly neutral on the subject of prohibition, asked the Health Commissioner how he Intended conducting his crusado against John Barleycorn, He replied: “The work of the Department of Health in relation to alcohol will be wholly educational, The people are entitled to the facts, just as they have a right to know about the dan- gers that lurk in adulterated and con- taminated milk. A diminution in the consumption of aloohol by the com- munity would mean less tuberculo- sis, less poverty, less despondency, loss pressure on our hospitals, asy- jums, jails. “Intemperate drinking cuts into the support of the family. Drinking by parents weakens the vitality of chil dren, Drinking mothers lose twice as many babies as do sober mothers. More alcoholism is found in the par- ents of feeble-minded children thar. in the parents of normal children, “School statistics prove that the children of drunkards develop more slowly and do poorer school work than the children of abstainers. “All of these things are scientific ts, and I believe it to be my duty as Health Commissioner to put them Dr before the community, and to em- phasize them.” Then the Health Commissioner drank a glass of water and went home. ae THREE HEAT PROSTRATIONS.

I have been treated indiscriminately nicely except on one unfortunate occasion, to which I hope the struggle in Europe will soon end hon- orably to ail,” ‘This was the farewell of Dr. Bern- hard Dernbusg to the people whose opinion he came here to influence in| behalf of Kaiser Wilheim and his policies. Dr. Dernburg sailed for Ber- gen, Norway, this afternoon aboard the Norwegtan-American liner Ber- gonsfjord from the Bush Dock, South Brooklyn. A safe conduct has been given him by the aliles. When pressed to explain what unfortunate incident he meant Dr. Dernburg replied: “I refer to the incident the night the Lusitania sank, That I resent.” I do not wish to refer. It was on the night when the news| of the Lusitania disaster came that “the mouthpiece of the Katser,” as ‘ho has been called, made a speech in Cleveland attempting to justify the sinking of a ship bearing non-com- batants. His remarks aroused such a storm of indignation that he received orders from somewhere that resulted | hand in his speechmaking being brought to an abrupt halt. But remarking again to-day thet there must be no interview, the genial diplomat went to pose for the movies, As he moved away some one asked him if it wasn't an English walking sult he had on and he replied with another smile, “Oh, but it was made in America.” HAD DE LUXE SUITE ON NOR- WEGIAN LINER, Dr. Dernburg and his wife arrived on the dock shortly before 1 o'clock this afternoon in a closed limousine and, after shaking hands with a few friends, who had come down to see them off, hurried aboard and went at once to Suite A, de luxe, on A deck, ‘These luxurious quarters, consisting of a drawing room, a bedroom with twin beds and @ bath, were crowded to the portholes with flowers and other farewell offerings, among them @ huge basket of fruit and a bush of American beauty roses, the gifts of Mrs, Howard Gould.

Mr, Howard presented a mase of dooumentary evidence and stated that Frank would introduce no new evi- dence or witnesses. “We expect to convince you by what is contained in the records,” he said, “that Frank is innocent. T shall show by the record that Frank logi- cally could not have had part in Mary Phagan's murder, I shall also under take to show that the negro, James Conley, first robbed, and finally murdered the girl.” In reply to a question by Gov.
