State Hoard 6f Health, in a’warning
issued Saturday ’ Test riblng some of
th$ dangers to wfSch helpless Infants

gence.
Too often, say a the board, the
thoughtless mother employs the first
nokro gtjrl who happens to bo avail
able. wrfhoitt mitring at all ae to
her health, moral character and intel
ligence flfuch mothers forget that
the baby is felt for hours at a time
in thevsole care of this nurse, and
that it .n>ay suffer permanent hF™ If
improperly handled, neglected or ex
posed to disease.'
Four yules are laid down by the

TEST
Mayor Announces He Will Refuse
to Sign Voucher Until Con
tract Is Met.
Declaring that the methods of the
Destructor Uqmpany of N^w York,
which is building the new crematory,
was a "stall” and that he would re
fuse absolutely to sign u voucher for
the payment of tin* $135,000 sttlPdue
until the plant had been turned over
to the city and-an average t*«t of the
capacity made, Mayor James O.
Woodward HatvirdAy night renewed
the old crematory fight.
The Mayor's statement followed
fast on the heels of the statement of
Councilman Claude L Ashley, chair
man of the Cornell Sanitary Com
mit tee., who declared Saturday he was
ponvlnced that the city was being
robbed by the cohttwet with the De
structor Ootppany. The Councilman’s
criticism of the plant was inspired by
the belief that it will not come up to
the contract specifications.
Mayor Woodward’s criticism of .the
plant was ga sharp as that of Ash
ley.
“I atn convinced that the company
is stalling now In order to put off the
test as lopg as possible,” said the
Mayor. "But that stall won't go, for
J am going to, Insist on an average
test after the plant has been turned
over to the city In fact, I am not
going to sign the voucher for that
$125,000 which we still owe them un
til the contract has been carried out
to the letter.
*1 Otlll contend that we haw made
a bad bargain, for we are paying
$275,000 for a 250-ton plant, whereas
Milwaukee haa a 800-ton plant which
cost only $210,000. If 1 could have
received some support in my orig
inal fight we could have a fully-
equipped crematory plant at a cost
of only $108,000.”
According to the Mayor, the De
structor Company is paying $25 per
day forfeiture dating from August 15.
when, it Is claimed, the plant should
have, been completed.

Revolutionary Days.
imt'XffW'If'K,, Sept. 13.—A my?-
tery comes to this city bordering on
one of the treasure stories of Cap
tain Kidd, and as a result Dr. W. B.
Burroughs is in possession of an
old flint and steel pistol of the type
used In the Revolutionary War.
A few days ago John Edwards, a
negro, was at 8t. Marys, and while
there a party of strangers engaged
him to take them to Talbots Island,
which is near Femandlna When the
party reached the island, they landed
and Instructed Edwards to wait on
the shore until they returned. The
strangers came back In two hour* and
had In their possession three boxes.
After he had taken his passenger*
back to St Marys, Edwards return ;d
to the Island He searched about the
place and found three square holes,
out of which the boxee had been lift
ed. In one of the sinks he found the
pistol.
Yesterday the negro came to Bruns
wick and showed the relic to Dr. Bur
roughs, who, being a collector of war
time guns, purchased It. It is be
lieved the boxes the strangers carrlen
from the island contained treasure
or were valuables burled there during

Mary s or Femandina The island Is
not Inhabited, and it is thought *he
men had learned of the burial of the
boxes by some of their ancestors. Ne
other solution was offered, as none
of the party haa ever been heard from
or seen since that time by the ne
gro.

Americans’ Absence
Stuns Hotel Keepers
August is Disastrous to Both Bonl-

Special Cable to The American.
BERLIN, Sept. 13.—The hotel keep-
ers and tradesmen in certain quar
ters ©f South Germany are dismayed
by the marked decrease in American
tourist traffic: August was almost
disastrous td them.
The Munich hotel proprietors were
hit hardest and are complaining
loudly. This loss of American pa
tronage is due largely, It is said, to
the agitation by certain Americans
in Munich against the systematic ex
ploitation to which travelers are sub
jected In that city. Experienced tour
ists, tired of paying double prices for
everything, are shunning Munich and
going to Berlin and other North Ger
man cities.
