Florence Schenck.Talk of Two Continents, Deserted
Government Wil! Endeavor to
Induce Patients to Take
Treatment at Home,
WEST RESENTS THE INFLUX
Public Health Service Aims to
Aid Both the Victims and
Other Travelers,
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Drastic
regulation of the transportation of
victims of tuberculosis from State to
State is contemplated by the Federal
Government as a result of an investi
gation now being conducted by the
Public Health Service.
The move will have the effect of
curtailing to a great extent the mi
gration of tuberculosis patients to the
dry climate of the West and South
west. The service will puncture the
belief that a dry climate is necessary
to the cure of the disease.
Already the investigation has dis
closed that Chicago harbors more
transient consumptives than any other
city in the country. Because 41 is
the greatest railway center in the
country and the gateway of the West
thousands of victims of the white
plague pass through it annually seek
ing a salubrious climate.
Change Cars in Chicago.
These sufferers change cars in Chi
cago, stopping a few hours in a rail
road station generally. The condi
tions under which these patients
spend this waiting interval in Chi
cago have been investigated during
the ^aat fortnight by agents of the
Public Health Service. The investi
gators also counted the number of
sufferers arriving and departing on
all the lines.
From Chicago the agents have pro
ceeded to the Southwest, investigat
ing the conditions under which pa
tients travel and mingle with healthy
passengers.
The findings of the investigators
will be embodied in a report setting
forth exactly what danger the travel
ing public runs of infection from tu
berculosis passengers. It also will
lay down a set of regulations for pre
venting consumptives from coming
into contact with healthy passengers
both on trains and in railway sta
tions.
The demand for the investigation
came originally from California, Ari
zona, New Mexico, Colorado and oth
er Western States which have been
endeavoring for years to stem the
tide of tubercular immigrants.
Sufferers Unwelcome.
In many Western communities
“lungers,” as they commonly are
known there, constitute a large part
of the population. They are re
garded as undesirable citizens by the
natives, who complain that the suf
ferers are a menace to public health.
There is good ground for statipg
that the report of the health seryy^e
will recommend transportation regu
lations which will tend to curtail the
migration of consumptives.
It is suggested that such regula
tions might prohibit a consumptive
from going far from his home un
less he could give satisfactory assur
ance that he would not become a
public charge.
But the main point the report will
make is that it is unnecessary for
consumptives to se*k the arid region
in order to be cured. The national
health officers take the position that
such a migration furnishes the pa
tient no treatment that can not be
procured at home.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Miss Flor-
encc Rosser Schenck, the Virginia
beauty who in seven years has run
the whole course of the life that bub
bles, is dying to-day in Miss Alston’s
Sanitarium, No. 26 West Sixty-first

She has been operated upon for a

Miss Schenck is now just 24 years
old. Her career began when she was

In Norfolk she lived in the house of

Chicago Mayor Says
Free Lunch Must Go
CHICAGO, Dec. 13.—Free lunch in
saloons and the practice of “treating”
ought to be done away with, in the
opinion of Mayor Harrison. The
combination of the two, he said, often
induces a man to drink more than he
ought.
At the last meeting of the Council
an order was passed directing the
corporation counsel to draft an or
dinance prohibiting the “setting up”
of free lunch in saloons.

ginia, and she had many admirers
among the social set of Norfolk. She
was then a perfect blonde, slender of
figure, with clear-cut features, • big
blue eyes and a wealth of beautiful
golden hair. She was talked of as
“the most beautiful girl in Virginia,”
and she was.
Then Alfred Vanderbilt’s private
car, the Wayfarer, arrived in Norfolk
for the horse show. With, it came
Charles S. Wilson, trainer for the
Vanderbilt stable of equine aristo
crats. The pair met.
When the Wayfarer left Norfolk,
according to the story told by the
beauty at the time, she went with it.
She wanted to see life, and she said
Wilson promised to show it to her.
Whether he did or not is another
question At any rate, she has seen it
now, and, having seen it all, she is
about to give it up.
After her arrival in New York the
news of the day began to sizzle with
the doings of the little Virginia beau
ty. The reports of her extravagances,
her late suppers and her entertain
ments were sensational reading.
Marriage Rumor Denied.
Then she and Wilson went abroad,
and about the same time it was an
nounced that she and the Vanderbilt
trainer had been secretly married be
fore she left Norfolk. This rumor
was denied by the wife of Wilson,
who was living in Orange, N. J. The
reports from London of the beauty’s
doings also created a stir in New
York. Then Wilson and the girl came
back on the same boat, and the city
was treated to a fresh sensation even,'
hour for several days. The girl said
Wilson had married her in England,
and that he deserted her at the steam
ship dock here when she had but a
half dollar in her purse. Bhe said he
had beaten her and she exhibited
bruises. Then newspaper men came
to her rescue and provided her with
money with which to taffe a room in
an uptown hotel. About the same time
the father and mother of the girl dis
owned her and refused positively to
come to her aid. Then Wilson went
to Newport, and the woman who said
she was his wife entered the chorus of
a Broadway musical comedy.
Once Miss Schenck entered suit
against Wilson for breach of prom
ise. Then she announced she would
sue him for a divorce, and then she
went abroad again.
“What’s the Use?”
She was next heard of in Paris
where her excesses brought her into
the limelight once more. Twice she
was arrested for disputes with cab
men, and then she began to crave
those things which follow in the wake
of a woman who has lived with her
emotions always in the high gear.
Friends tried to make her reform and
sent her to sanitariums, but she did
not appreciate the attention, escap
ing from each of the hospitals where
she was sent. She always reverted to
her old ways, and, when asked why
she didn’t behave, would reply:
“What’s the use, anyway? My
family doesn’t want me, though God
knows I would crawl back to my
mother and father on my hands and
knees if they would receive me. No
body cares for me. I’ll just go on The
best I can, and the finish—well, it’ll
be the finish, that’s all.”
HI in Paris.
While she was in Paris penniless,
she became desperately ill, and it was
believed she might die. She asked
that her mother and father be noti
fied. She wanted to be forgiven. But
the parents, still living in the quiet
Virginia city, refused to even ask if
there was anything they could do to
ease her pain. She had brought dis
grace to their name, they said, and
they were done with her forever. She
was as one dead to them.
Again she met Wilson in Paris, and
again there was a disagreement, and
they parted. It was said at the time
that Vanderbilt told Wilson he would
have to rid himself of Miss Schenck.
It was believed, however, he came to
her aid financially
Being left alone in London, friend
less and practically without money,
again she attempted to kill herself
with chloral, after writing a letter to
Wilson, in which she said that in all
the world he was for her the one ob
ject of her life.
She was in ill health from the ex
cesses she had committed when some
new T friends assisted her to get trans
portation back to New York in the
second cabin. That was last year.
Seven Rapid Years.
During the Madison Square Horse
Show just over another chapter in the
tangled romance was written when
Wilson, who was exhibiting Vander
bilt’s horses, was served with papers
in an action begun in the Supreme
Court here for $50,000 damages. Her
attorneys made it clear that she was
not suing for breach of promise, but
for breach of contract, fraud and de
ceit.
She set forth in the papers that at
the time she married the .Vanderbilt
trainer she believed he had divorced
his first wife, who was Elizabeth
Ainge, Put she later learned that the
decree had not been made final, so the
horseman might have been arrested
for bigamy. Attached to the com
plaint was a certified copy of a cer
tificate of marriage. As Wilson has
denied the marriage many times, this
paper, the lawyers decided, was to
play a leading part in the suit.
The suit has not come up for trial

DIFFICULT JIB
Lack of Good Water and Sewe-
age and Garbage Disposal
Plants Presents Problem.
WASHINGTON, Deo. 6.—While the
sanitary system in Porto Rico is still
in a crude state, judged fro mAmeri
can standards, commendable progress
has been made toward cleaning up the
island, according to the annual report
of Brigadier General Frank McIntyre,
Chief of the Bureau of Insular Affairs,
delivered to the Secretary of War to
day. General McIntyre pointed out
that the exports and imports of both
Porto Rico and the Philippines hav*
increased greatly during me past
fiscal year.
Among the difficulties to be over
come in making Porto Rico sanitary,
General McIntyre says, are a lack of
good water supply, lack of sanitary
markets, lack of hospital facilities,
overcrowding and insanitary condi
tion of municipal jails, some of which
are used for the detention of violent
ly insane persons; congestion in the
homes of the laboring classes and
contamination of milk supply.
Philippine Trade Good.
Regarding the commerce of the
Philippines, the report says:
“Trade returns for the year show’
a generally favorable condition. Im
ports amounted to $56,327,583, an in
crease of $1,777,603 over those of 1912,
but the serious shortage in local rice
production, which made rice imports
an exceptionally large factor in the
import trade of both years, was re
lieved in the latter part of 1913 by
abundant crops, and the elimination
of this emergency element shows that
whereas the net increase of 1912 over
the previous year was $706,939 Lhe
increase in the general import trade
in 1913, inclusive of rice, was $4,406,-
695.
“Exports were adversely affected as
a result of crop conditions, but re
duced production of some of the lead
ing staples was more than offset by
better prices and by the larger out
put of others, and the export total of
$53,683,326 exceeded by $3,363,490 the
high record of 1912.
“The value of American goods im
ported shows an increase of $4,782,-
930, and amounted to $25,387,085, or
45 per cent Of the total, against 38
per cent in 1912.
“Approximately three-fourths of
the $7,975,811 cotton cloth trade for
1913 was of American manufacture,
compared with 56 per cent in 1912, 50
per cent in 1911, 33 per cent in 1910,
and 10 per cent in 1909, the last year
prior to free trade.
“Exports to the United States
amounted to $19,848,885, and were 37
per cent of the total, as compared with
43 per cent in 1912. Sugar shipments,
which were the leading factor in this
decline, show a falling off approxi
mating $5,000,000 irf value.”
Porto Rican Commerce.
With regard to the commerce of
Porto Rico, General McIntyre has the
following to say:
“The foreign trade of the island
for the fiscal year ending .June 30,
1913, aggregated $86,003,627 divided as
follows: Imports, $36,900,062; exports,
$49,003,565. This represents a de
crease in value of imports of $6,026,-
411, and of exports, $601,848.
“Although the shipments of sugar
were 16,000 tons greater than during
the preceding year, reaching a total
of 383,000 tons, the average price re
ceived—$16 less per ton- reduced the
total value of the sugar shipments for
the greater quantity by approximate
ly $5,000,000.
“The lower price of sugar is re
flected in the curtailment of imports,
and purchases in the United States
decreased during the year $4,269,540
and from other countries $1,756,871.”

Quits Wife for Army;
Patriot, Says Judge
SPRINGFIELD, ILL., Dec. 13—A
married man who leaves his wife to
join the United States army is a
patriot and not a wife deserter, ac
cording to a ruling by Judge Creigh
ton. in the Sangamon County Circuit
Court,
The opinion was expressed in a
ruling by the court that Mrs. Alice
Sidener must chance her bill of di
vorce from William F. Sidener to
say that Sidener “left” her to Join
the army, instead of “deserted” her
for that purpose.
“A man can not be charged with
desertion because he joins the army,”
Judge Creighton observed. “That is
a patriotic act.”
Appeal Fails; Prison
Faces Woman Doctor
SEATTLE, Dec. 13.—Dr. Linda
Burfield Perry Hazzard, the starva
tion cure specialist convicted of con
tributing to the death of an English
girl patient in her sanatorium near
this city, lias lost her last appeal to
the State Supreme Court and must
serve a term running from two to
twenty years.
Mrs. Hazzard came here from Min-
neanolis several years ago. Her hus
band is a graduate of Wesi Point,

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Thomas H.
Curtin, the passenger director on
duty in the Pennsylvania Station, is
an alert employee, whose duty it is
to show strangers in New York to
their trains, and to see to it that
aged women and young girls are safe
while they are waiting for trains in
the Pennsylvania Station.
Curtin was standing near the main
entrance to the women’s waiting
room yesterday when lie saw a little
I black bag lyon the the concrete floor
of the iUti ( ui near one of the en-
trances leading to the train platform
below. Curtin picked the bag up and
saw that it was a jewel case. Sta
tion Master William H. Egan came
along just as Curtin picked the bag
up, and Curtin turned It over to
Egan, who carried it into his office
and locked it in his safe.
Limited Just Leaving.
“It was then about 10:45 o’clock,
and the announcer had just told the
waiting passengers that the Penn
sylvania Limited, which leaves for
Chicago at 11:04 o’clock, was ready,”
Curtin said later. “I felt certain that
the bag belonged to • some woman
passenger of that train, and so I
watched for her appearance, for 1
knew she would come back as soon
as she found that she had lost the
bag.
“I had not long to wait. I heard a
scream, and, looking across the room,
saw a woman standing at the top of
the stairway on the eastern side of
the station, near the steps leading to
the Seventh avenue arcade. In her
excitement she had run up the wrong
steps and found the iron-grated exit
door locked. She was weeping bit
terly, and a maid who was with her
was trying to keep her from attempt
ing to climb up over the ironwork.
I ran up, unlocked the door and ask
ed her what was the matter.
Owner Discovers Lose.
“ ‘My hag, my jewels and my
money,’ she cried, ‘have been lost or
stolen.’
" ‘Oh, if that’s all, don’t worry', for
I think I can take you to where the
bag is, and I know you will find that
nothing is missing from it,’ I told
her.
“I took her to Station Master
Egan’s office, and that officer asked
her to describe the contents of the
bag.”
Twenty one-thousand-dollar bills
and diamond and other jewelry worth
at least $100,000 were in the hag she
told Egan. Egan opened the bag and
in it found twenty new $1,000 bills
and the jewelry as described by the
passenger He then handed her the
bag.
“I thank you. Oh, how I thank
you,” the happy woman cried as she
took the bag from Egan.
“Don’t thank me. madam. Thank
that man,” Egan replied pointing to
Curtin.
Then It Happened.
The woman looked at tiie young
passenger director, and then she step
ped quleklv forward, and before Cur
tin knew what was going to happen
she threw her arms around his nedk
and kissed him several times.
“How many times did she kiss
you?” a man asked t’urtin yesterday.
“I don’t know; I was too em
barrassed to count ’em,” Curtin an
swered.
“Well, what did she give you in the
way of a reward besides the kisses?”
the reporter asked.
“Nothing, that was enough,” Cur
tin said.

, Hause, who was reported to have shot
I accidentally Robert Cash Moore,

mal statement declares the rifle was

I of the tragedy.
She explains: "The gun was not
even in my hands, for he (Mr. Moore)
had told me that my time^vas up,
and that was all. Forgetting that I
was due another gun, I turned to my
sister and exclaimed. Oh, if I only
had another one,’ thinking that if I
did that I could shoot down us many
birds as she had. Mr. Moore turned,
and. handing Baxter Formby a gun
with his right' hand, reached with his
left hand and took my gun. Being
somewhat taller than I, he pulled it
straight to his head. When he took
I hold of my gun I turned it loose and
I dropped my hands to my side. As I
I did so, the stock of the gun fell, hit
I the board and was discharged. Then
the boy fell. So I must state that the
poor boy innocently and accidentally
shot himself with his own Hands. The
eyewitnesses can and will verify my
statement.”

Traveler Remarks Striking Con
trasts to Home Customs, and
Says Labor Rules Country.
NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—“There are
too many people—there are too many
that are working hard to earn a liv
ing. Your big buildings are impres
sive, but when I look at their banks
of windows, 1 see only the swarms
Inside that are toiling away, shut in.
It is not pleasant to think of so many
people having to work so hard to
make a living.”
That is an impression of New York
from an antipodal standpoint, and it
came yesterday from Mrs. F. J. Ray-
ner. of Auckland, who is at. the Wol
cott. Mrs. Raynor’s husband is a big
landowner in New Zealand.
“People don’t have to work so hard
in New Zealand,” continued Mrs. Ray-
ner. “Why, I have to give my laund
ress a whole hour off at noon, and if
she works a bit after 5 o’clock in the
afternoon the factory Inspector comes
around and fines me.
Odd New Zealand Laws.
“I have lived in New Zealand thir
teen years, and have found some of
the laws that a labor government has
given us rather odd when one is used
to customs in another country. For
instance, if this hotel were in New
Zealand and I were entertaining some
friends, they would all have to be out
of the building by 10 p. m. On Sun
days a person who Is not staying in
a hotel is not allowed to take a meal
in the building, nor is it lawful for
him to pay a call upon anybody in it.
I suppose these restrictions were im
posed originallv as a means of help
ing regulate the liquor traffic. You
see, at every election we vote on the
subject of prohibition. It comes up
every time.
Women Vote There.
“Do the women take, advantage of
the right of suffrage? Well, the ma
jority do. You see, we have had the
right to vote down there so long that
now we don’t think anything much of

butter almost all the way to New
York. All the hotels and the trains
of the Canadian Pacific Railway serve
it, and I found it tasted just as sweet
in Winnepeg' as in Auckland. We

fenced sheep-raising stations go as
high as $55 an acre.

old.: They grow from 200 to 250 feet
high, and are of the same diameter e*
the top as at the bottom. They look
like the columns in Egyptian temp4es. *
