The dearth of money and stamps was responsible for Dr, Milton Gregg, 4 health officer of Elbridge village, failing to receive an early report of an examination. Because the report did riot come when desired, Dr, Gregg wanted to know why. Then the lack of the 2 cents was discovered, Dr, W. W.

Waite, the bacteriologist in charge, said he could no longer afford to pay postage bills, so the report remained on his desk two or three days. The city maintains the laboratory and the county pays the city $1,500 a year for doing the county This gives the health officers in the different parts of the county the right to send cultures and specimens to the laboratory for bacteriological examination. Health Officers in Hurry, Health officers and other doctors are usually in a hurry, especially when they want to know whether a patient has diphtheria, typhoid fever, tuberculosis or some other disease. That was the case with Dr, Gregg. Yesterday Dr.

Waite said that there was no provision for paying postage In the agreement with the county and that reports to the physicians in the towne were given the same as to those in the city. "The report for Dr. Gregg," he said, negative, he had not requested an early report, no postage was furnished and the report was not Ask Mr. Friedrich." "The petty cash account at the end of the month ran said Deputy Commissioner of Public Safety S. T.

Friedrich, "as did the supply of stamped envelopes. All the bureaus were a little short while' waiting return of the audit, but Dr, Waite would have been remunerated if he had spent 2 cents for a stamp. He will get all the postage he needs, 11 Attitude Dr. Gregg The attitude Dr, Gregg, however, is that unless the physicians of the towns are able to get reports from the laboratory quicker than they can by sending specimens to the State Department of Health at Albany, the payment of Jl.oOG by the county should i be He said last night that it is often very important to get reports even when they are negative and fail to show the existence of the disease suspected, In a statement to The Past-Standard, he said: "After considerable effort on the part of the sanitary officers of the city of Syracuse and the county of Qriondaga an arrangement was perfected whereby the facilities of the were made available for the towns of the county. Why Arrangement Was Made.

"This was done in order that the various health officers could get quick reports suspected cases of tuberculosis, typhoid, diphtheria, "Recently I have had occasion to send two specimens to the county laboratory, and it was after several days delay that I received report from the first I telephoned for the report of the second, and was Informed by Dr. Waite, the ologist in charge, that the report had been on his desk for two or three days and was not forwarded because no provision had been made for paying the postage on those reports and that he could no longer afford to pay postage bills. "The very purpose for which the laboratory was established Is being defeated, and unless we can obtain quicker service than is obtained through the State Laboratory at Albany, the county should discontinue its support to the City Laboratory. We have enough of useless expense already. "This laboratory should serve a very useful purpose in the county, and i greatly'regret that the officials who have the general supervision of the department have nqglscted to provide for its proper maintenance," Two Cases in Question.

The first case Dr. Gregg sent for examination, he said yesterday, was one believed by him to be typhoid The second was suspected as being It was important, he said, to get on early report and when he failed to get it byjnail, as he had expected, he called Dr, Waite on the telephone. Greng said that he did not of 'other cases of delay, in delivering reports of examinations, but he did not think the lack of a 2-cent stamp should result in poor service. Several days later, Dr. Waite said, he had been without postage, but that only a few reports were delayed on that account 'The agreement between the city and the county, Waite said, "is very indefinite in its terms.

It simply provides that the work for the county be. done at the city'laboratory. There are no regulations and no provisions as to how reports shall be made, or anything of that kind. "We are required 'to do the work, and it is done in the same way for the country as for the city physicians. To the city doctors the reports are telephoned as there is no If the country physicians request it we telephone the results at their expense.

Most cases are disposed of that way. Otherwise the reports are' mailed. "We make every effort to be accommodating, and in almost every case we have gone far what we are obliged to do to accommodate the cians." diamonds; and Cohn Larned Blockl guarantee a i eaving-of 25 per MEMBERS OF POLITICAL EQUALITY CLUB AT ONE OP WEEKLY MEETINGS The Syracuse Political Equality Club is sewing articles for the bazaar to be held by the State Suffrage Association at the Plaza in New York next month, The club here is steering clear of the fancy "geegaws" that usually are assoicated with such sales and a stock of aprons, caps, stocks and other useful things la packed in boxes to swell the donations.

DEEPLYG Profoundly by Death Their Faith Loath to Credit the News of the death of Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy, 'founder of Christian Science, received by her followers in this city last night with deep grief and many of them were reluctant to credit it. No statement of her death was made at the First Church of Christ, Scientist, but arrangements, will probably be made to take formal action as soon as official announcement of her passing is received, C. Ohrenstein, Onondaga County assistant to the Christian Science Publication Committee, explained that while members of the might entertain a personal 'belief of Mrs, Eddy's death, the institution as a whole -would not credit any report until official notification is received from the Board of Directors in Boston, "I do not know that she is dead," said Mr, Ohrenstein to a Post-Standard reporter.

"At the same time I do not doubt the authenticity of the press dispatches annouhcing her If word has been received in Syracuse that such an announcement was made in the mother church this morning then the public has received official notification that her death has occurred. With the church it is different Until wa hear directly from the Board of Directors we will have received no official notification." Mr. Ohrenstein said he -did not know how soon the board would notify the various churche's and societies throughout the country and he could not state what action will be taken when such word is received. Is No Precedent to Eollow. 'There is no precedent to follow," he eaid.

"If I should die there would services or anything of the kind, Whether there will be in this case I cannot say. Information will have to come from the Board of Directors." Mr. Ohrenstein said there would' be no announcement made of'Mrs Eddy's death and that members here will ribt recognize it until the required official notification has been received, "I shall, of course, read The Post-Standard's he saifl, "and even tonight I may say privately to a few friends, 'I have heard from The Post- Standard that Mrs. Eddy is But there will be no announcement and no recognition as yet. "I would give less credence to a report of Eddy's death than to that of any other person.

She has been reported dead every year for the last twenty-five years by the newspapers and proof almost as positive as this has been given on some of those 1 Syracuse Persons Visited Her, Forty-seven Syracuse persons, members of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, of this city, went to Boston and Concord seveh years ago liMune to see Mrs. Eddy and to attend the dedication of the Mother Church in Boston, After attending' the dedication the Syracuse party went, With many thousands of other, Christian Scientists from all parts of the world, to Concord, Mrs. Eddy's home.

It is expected that each side will be given a hearing and tliat the business will be finally disposed of. Democrats here said yesterday they had no information as to who will be named, but both sides are preparing to present their claims. The light started before the primaries in an effort to secure control. Opposition was made to William F.

Rafferty, who had served as state committeeman for four years past Under the party rules the committeeman is chosen by the state conyentfcm on the recommendation of the nine delegates to the- convention from this county. Each faction claimed to have six delegates. The state cpnvention gave each four and one-half delegates, and they deadlocked on the selection of a state committeeman. One faction voted for Mr, Rafferty and the other for W. J.

Dwyer. Referred to State Committee. The question was referred tcv sub-committee of the State Committee, consisting of the chairman, secretary and treasurer. One hearing was given' in ftew York before election, but no decision made. Since that time Mr.

Rafferty has taken no action, and he and some of his supporters have presented Thomas Ho- While the dispute now stands nominally between Mr. Dwy er Rafferty, it is really between Mr. Dwyer and Mr, Hogan, On behalf of both support has bean sought by their friends from the of the General Committee of the county, Signatures have been secured to petitions, and each faction claims a ma- ority. It is known that several have signed hoth petitions. The leaders will go to -3s ew York to present their claims, Murphy to Have His Way.

While the matter is before the sub-committee, Charles F. Murphy, the leader of Tammany Hall and the state organization, will have his way. Former Alderman Frank Matty, William H. Kelley, David F. Costello, Francis Lynch and a number- of others' are with Mr, Dwyer, Opposed are George McGuire, Mr.

Rat- ferty, Mr. Hogan, John D. Scanlon, G. W. Drfficoll and others.

The factions united in the election, but the success of the Democratic ticket gave new impetus to the fight. The State Committeeman will have the dispensation of patronage in Onondago. In the contest, it is claimed, promises of jobs have been generously made to support. The election of a chairman of the General Committee has also entered into the situation.

Family, as He Awaits End, VICTIM OP DISEASE Told by Doctor Nothing Could Stop the Fatal Attack.

SISTER DIED TWO MONTHS AGO Young Man Suffers Belapse in Early Morning and Fails to Bally-Funeral to Be Held Knowing for several days that his death might occur at any time, Bernard Smith of No. 122 Bishop avenue, a conductor in the employ of the Syracuse Rapid Transit Railway Company, succumbed to heart disease at 4.30 o'clock yesterday morning. Under the tragic suspense of awaiting the end, Smith bore up well, and his parents, brothers and sisters tried to cheer him with thoughts that there still might be some hopes. His greatest sorrow appeared to arise from the grief he knew his death' would cause his family. This was doubly heavy, for his '11-year-old sister had died "from heart disease only two months ago.

His last efforts were spent in efforts to cheer those around his bedside. All Hope Is Gone. Three days before he passed away the family and Mr. Smith himself wero told by the physician that nothing could bring about the young man's recovery. A 'degeneration of the the doctor said, was slowly wearing the victim's life away and there was no hope of stopping its fatal progress.

The family was nearly prostrated, but the'sufferer received bravely the awful message the physician brought. Despite his critical condition, Mr. Smith was able to be partly'dressed and up and about the house. He was up when the physician called for his last visit Saturday evening and told the family the young man would probably not survive the night Mr. Smith retired at the usual hour; 'but the family remained at -bedside.

During the early morning hours he had a relapse, became unconscious and died, Two weeks ago Mr. Smith's illness compelled him to give his position with the Syracuse Rapid Transit Company, but it was not until five days before his death that Dr. G. Doust was called to attend him. He had been under the care of a physician, but the family didn't know he was to be a victim of the disease that had taken his sister from them a few weeks before.

Victim Only 23 Years Old, Mr. Smith was 23 years He was a son of Philip and Mary Smith of No. 122 Bishop avenue.
