Employers Willing to Pay, but Not to Prefer Cloak Union Men. With Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor, presiding, the fifth day's session of the conference called to effect peace in the eleven weeks' cloakmakers strike appeared somewhere near success yesterday when the manufacturers said they wefe willing to meet the wage and houra of work demands ot the strikers. But they added that they would not consent to the preferential union shop. Then the union leaders declared that" was the most vital principle they ware fighting for. and when the conference adjourned last night a settlement was no nearer than when 'the session started last Tuesday.

Th -preferential anion shop clsuse was inserted in tne protocol or luim drafted by Louis D. Brandels. now. of the nlted elates Supreme Court. It provided that in employing men the manufacturers must give preference to union memoera.

wnen tne union insisted yesterday upon this concession, the manufacturers replied that th mat ter should be Included In the powers of hiring and upon the retention of which was predicated Ihe At the conclusion of the session Morris Hillqult, counsel for th union, said that th Manufacturers' Association repre sentatives iiatiy opposed ths preferential union but held' out the offer of a declaration, practically agreeing to everything else the union demanded. such as pay, hoars, and sanitary shop conditions, out rerused to entertain the nreferenttal shoo clause. Mr. illllqutt aald that th union would make no settlement which did not in clude the preferential shop clause, and that nothing els would be considered until this Question was disposed of. wtiiiam v.

Klein, counsel tor in manufacturers, charred that the union was not llvtnsr uo to its published reply to the open letter of the manufacturers. when It Injected Into yesterday's con i ere nee nn question or the preferential union shop: In their reply the union conceded th right of the manufacturers to increase or decrease the number' of their Mr. said, his clients were willing to concede all the demanda of the union, provided tho union permitted them to Increase or decrease their fore as deemed necessary. This, he held. Included -hiring as the employers pleased.

Th union believes thst th msntt-fseturers are trying to lessen Its standing; with the workers, and contends that it would mean a serious blow to the union if the workers did not gain as a reward for tho aacrif ices they have made for th union the preference In employment that was theirs for almoat sis years up to the beginning of the strike In 'April, when the Protective Association locked out Its workers. Mr. Gompers did not appear hopeful, and said he had no comment to make upon the conference.

Three defense chemists testified that ths poison was taken in powder form and that the cyanide in the greenhouse was not cyanlds of potassium at all. but cyanide of sodium, with only a faint trace of potassium. Dr.

McNally. having mad further experiments, voluntarily appeared for the defense and corrected his previous testimony to agree with that of the defense, and Dr. Webster, recalled by th State, did so in reply to a hypothetical question on cross-examination.

I OTA BENGA, PYGMY, i TIRED OF AMERICA The 1 Strange Little African Fin ally Ended Life at Lynchburg, Va.

ONCE AT THE BRONX Z00 Hla American 8ponaor Found Him Shrewd and Courageous Wanted to be Educated. Ota the; first of the African pygmies to consent to leave, hla native wilds and the first who ever elected to remain In this country, committed suicide recently at Lynchburg, Va. During his stay In this city he waa employed In th Zoological Park ia the Bronx. He fed the anthropoid apes. It was this employment that rave rise to the unfounded report that he was being held In the park ah one of the exhibits In the roonkoy cage.

The story, though denied, persisted, and Ota. became the centre of a discussion In which the public became Interested. Samuel P. Verner, who brought Ota here In 1906. has retold the story of the comin to the United States of his protege, and paid a tribute to the African as a man of native courage and re source.

Ota, Benga was from a settle ment remote from that of the other pygmiee who came here to go to the St. Louis Exposition. They cam from the town Of Kin Ndombe at Wliminn Falls oa the Kasal. All ot them except Ota were later returned to their bomea and were content to stay there. Of the arrival of Ota, Mr.

Verner said: our steamship called 'at the confluence of the Kaaal. where Commandant Loos of the Belgian Army was stationed, he told me of a strange little man In his settlement, who had been found by his soldiers as a captive slave In the hands of the cannibal Baschlele. when he had gone on an expedition to Stop one of the tribe's periodical raids ROCKEFELLER CASH TO FIGHT PARALYSIS i Continued fraa Page 1. datlon was announced by Mayor Mttchel In th. fAllnmrlne il.t.m.iil' At a meeting ef experts caned by the Mayor ef the City ef New Tork on July -13 to consider means of further checking the spread ef Infantile paralysis, a subcommittee was appointed by the Mayor to reoort la detail all means available te that- lead.

Olent worth R. Butler. The unlertaklnar will be' carried eat under ths direction and control of ths Department ot Health, and will be generally se-pervlaed by the shove-named committee. Dr.Alvab.H. Doty has hssn.

chose Administrative efflcer in Immediate charge of the work, which will be entered vpon at enee, the office being located in the bulld-t" of the Department of Health in the Borough of Broorlyn. Dr. Doty said thst he would begin his work tomorrow after he had had a conference with Commissioner Emerson In which the details ot the work would be mapped out. lie said he expected to make some Important studies of the epidemic and he expected to discover a number of unreported cases of Infantile paralysis. It would hard, he said -for any case In the city to escape detection by those on his staff.

Dr. Doty and his assistants will watcn especially those who may have become carriers of Infsntile paralysis through personal contact with thev disease or through food and drink, aa these mediums are believed by the authorities to be the most active spreaders ot the la- Bis Detrs and Naiwe. The 130,000 will be uaed chiefly tor the salaries of physicians and nuraes appointed to study the cases of persons coming Into such contract with Infantile paralysis, and to follow their move ments so as to determine whether they develop th disease or carry It to any one else. Theee physicians and nurses will work under the control of the De partment of Health, though none of them will be on the department's payroll. j.

Dr. Emerson and all thos associated with him were greatly encouraged by the gift; for they said the work for which the money would provide was of the highest Importance. They pointed out tnat it wouia oe or great value to the city, because would give opportunity for a most comprehensive study ot the disease, which would lead to more knowledge of preventive measures. They added that the work would also be of value to out-of-town communities, bees us Dr. Doty's workers would notify local Boards of Health of the de- ot contact cases from New ork.

No less Important, however, than the work of Dr. Doty and his associates. Is thst of Dr. Banks of th Public Health Servlc. He for outlining his plans yesterday.

Dr. Bsnks, collaborating with Its. C. H. Lavinder and W.

11. Frost, also of th Public Health Service, but assigned to laboratory atudy of the carrier problem, mad publlo a atatement of their observations of tne outbreak of Infsntile paralysis in this city. They all agreed that citlsens had no cause for hysterical alarm. Frsaal Statesseat Th statement of the Publlo Health officials was as follows: Ws must, ef course, recognlss the seriousness ef sn epidemic which has cost ths lives of several hundred collars and re-suited in the paralysis of some hundreds more. Publlo health officials are the first to realise the seriousness of the situation, but at the same time are satisfied that the measures being tsken here are entirely commensurate.

Never hav. such Universal and energ.tlo measures been taken to restrict the spread ot Infantile paralysis as are In effect at this time. It la aafe to say that the efforts of th Kew Tork Health Department this direction have Hover been surpassed, and th public, both lu New York and elsawhsrv, may feel that everything humanly possible Is being done to protect them.

FRIED Into the Interior. The Baschlele nearly always ate their captives, but Ota Benga waa rescued and returned to the settlement 'Very little could be learned from him regarding his tribe, for his language was different from that of other pygmies. Being an old-timer and knowing the pygmies at Ndombe, I managed to find out from him some facts which were later enlarged upon wben Ota could speak a little English. It appears that hla tribe was known as the BadU In contrast with the pygmies at who were of the Batwa tribe. His language differed from thelra to a considerable extent, though there was a great deal la common.

When I asked him whether he would like to go to America with me. he said he would stay with for a while in the Kasal country snd see how he liked It, provided I would agree to let him remain behind should he so decide before we were due to leave. On these conditions ho agreed to go with me further up the river to Wismann Falls, where the Batwa lived. When th palavers about the group going to St. Louis were under way Ota Benga urged the natives to go.

and it was largely because of hla Influence that Ihe trip was arranged. I got back to Ndombe snd offered to leave Ota at the Belgian station below, but he would not stay. His owti country wss remote end his people were at war with the Bascli. lele, who were between them and the white settlements. Ota said he wanted to go to America, and with some misgiving I permitted him to come along." The African pygmy liked this country so well that when the other natives were returned to their own land from 8f Louis he decided to remain behind, and absorb the civilisation of the white man.

Mr. Verner urged him to go back to Africa, but he would not. He said he had left Africa because he did not want to be a slave, and preferred to die la America rather than endure the confinement at which his spirit rebelled. Ota also became ambitious for an education, and after he left the Zoological Park In the Bronx, through the good offices of a New Jersey Baptist association, he was admitted to a Southern school for negroes. After leaving school Ota Benga went Into1 a colored home near where ho received his education, and earned his livelihood by working In a tobacco factory.

Finally the burden of. the white man's civilisation became too great for him to bear, and he sent a bullet through hla heart. I never believed that the sort of education which seems to be the standard today was suited to him. nor did I encourage that educational experiment," said Mr. "At the same time was not willing to-combat his chance along that line, especially since his other friends sincerely believed It wise.

Even had he gone back to Africa he might bave fared no better. "His country is now torn' by war made by the white men among themselves, a war far more terrible than any the pygmies ever Between the Impossible conditions of Ota Benga'a own land and those which he could not Tork Cltv and authorities throughout the I obtain before departure one of the De-country nnerally In carrying out a thor- partment of Health's certificates. ough and systematic plan of notification of travel to extra. State points, so that the wcai neaita oiiicera can laae preventive measure. Without minimising the seriousness of the situation.

It ia safe to say that the menace la actually much leas than it appears In th public mind. This may be attributed, in the first Instance, to the very admirable frankness ot tho New Tork Health Department and press In publishing th full facts. Th consequence has been that, especially outside ot N.w Tork, people ar Impressed with the number of cases, falling to see their proportion. They forset that New Tork has a population of more than five millions equal to the population of two it ood -aired States and that a thousand cases In this population ia pro portl oa-ats to two In a city of 1O.U00. There ar ether considerations which ar more or less reassuring-.

No one can make predictions aa to the precise course of an epidemic, but all experience teaches that outbreaks of Infantile paralysis are self-limited and of rather short duration: also that they do not spread uniformly from an epidemic focus, but usually skip msny ef the tin-Kim, inai iney would ne expected to strike. It also should be remembered that, although this Is a relatively rare disease, the cases occur constantly in all parts ef the United States. Such isolated-cases oe. euning now and given wide publicity need not be taken as necessarily traceable to Infection spread from New York. As to the extent of crippling that will ultimately result in the victims of th dla.

ease, epidemics vary considerably tat ths proportion of permanent paralysis. It would be prematura to attempt any prediction regard to this particular outbreak, but th. general experience in the epidemics of the last few year, has been thst complete recoveries are more frequent than was formerly thought possible, and that skillful treatment ia of mors avail than was real- of the most excellent works dene by the New Tork Health Department haa been In the prompt hoepltalization of such a large proportion of the cases, and may oertalnly expect that this will have th. re- Permaaaal disability. Doctors at All Dr.

Banks, according to hla outline of his work, will have fifty persons under him employed by the United States Public Health Service, twelve surgeons. knd a clerical force, who will begin their activities tomorrow morning. One or more or the surgeons will be sta. tloned at -every railroad and ferry sta tlon through which persons pass tor ln teratate travel from this city. Each child and adults accompanying It who entera any statetoa to take a train or terry from it will be stopped by the physician in charge, who -will offer to make an examination of the child, if th offer is accepted the phy- rcian win examine tne cmia ror symptoms of infantile naralvaia and make a record of his findings.

Including ia his report a statement of the last residence and destination of the examined. if the doctor finds svmntoms of in. fantile paralysis in the child ho will, of course, prevent the patient from leaving the city. The child will be turned over to tne department of Health, but In no other case than the actual finding of the disease will any one be Instructed not to take an Intended Journey. The surgeon's report, however, will be copied In triplicate.

One copy will be to the traveler, another will be Dp' anks's office, and the If the health officer at the destination, upon examining the report, finds that the child in question came from an Infected house, or, if ho decides for any other reason that the child might carry infantile psxalyais, he has the power to turn the traveler back upon arrival. Dr. Banka believes that the matter of quarantine should be left entirely to local health officers, and that he should limit himself to supplying them with accurate Information. Examination Cewapnlsevy. A point of Dr.

Banks's work Is that no one Is required by statute or emergency regulation to submit to the examination before- leaving New Tork. A man Is free to say. I don't want to have my child examined. I'd prefer to go ahead and take my chancea on getting through tho health officer, at my destination." If any one takes this position he will be free to go ahead and take hla chances but, according to general opinion among authorities, his chances will be slim, for out-of-town health officers, it Is expected, will demand the statement from the examining surgeon and will look suspiciously upon any one unable to show it. Dr.

Banks's work, it is thought, will greatly facilitate travel. One of ite purposes is to make It possible for person, who have not come into contact with Infantile paralysis to come and go as they please. And. in order further to remove possible difficulties. Dr.

From various sources In the city they bave obtained thirty-five monkeys, and theSe are- expected to meet their demanda until the large shipments of the snlmaia arrive from South America and the Philippine. Incidentally. It waa learned yesterday, that private investigators in six large laboratories In the city have begun working on the carrier problem with monkeys. Mayor Mltchel took an active part In th campaign against th disease on Friday night and yesterday morning. From 10 o'clock In the evening until 1 In the morning he and Street Cleaning Commissioner Fetherston toured the streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn to determine their sanitary eondltion.

They found conditions good everywhere, including streets in the Infected districts. Dr. Emerson and Dr. John S. Billings, Deputy Health Commissioner, In charge of the -work In Brooklyn, reported the ssme findings after an Inspection of Brooklyn streets yesterday afternoon.

While on their tour, the Commissioner and his deputy investigated ths cases of twelve infantile paralysis patients who had been permitted by Department of Inspectors to remain In their homes because the families had met requirements for home treatment. The Hease Requires eat. There are five conditions that must be met If a patient ts to remain at home. A regular phyaician must be in attendance, a nurse who does not care for any other person must have charge of the patient, the patient must be kept In an individual room, thai family of the patient must have th exclusive use of toilet facilities, and the apartment In which the patient la kept must screened. Eleven of the eases Investigated yesterday met all of these conditions.

In the twelfth case. Doctors Emerson and Billings found that th flrstfourth. and fifth requirements wer not met. and the patient was at once ordered to nospiiai. Tne ieputy Oommlssloner questioned about the filling in of the Flushing meadows with refuse, said he considered this a highly sanitsry work, as nothing that could carry the disease, he said, a as dumped on the mesdows.

Dr. BlUlnsJs was told that some persons had complained because three and four children suffering from Infantile paralysis ware sometimes placed in th same ambulance. He explained that this procedure enabled the Department of Health to get children to hospitals much more quickly than If a separate ambulance trip was made for each one, and that no discomfiture or danger resulted, becapse the children were small and only known cases were placed In the same ambulance.

Only SO per cent, of the patients In Brooklyn, Or. Billings said, had been removed to hospitals, whereas a much higher percentage in 1 Manhattan had been removed. This difference, he said, wss due In th fact that In Brooklyn the 1M" Oar Own Building. 47th St. Is Open Through ths Bummer.

The residents of the Fort Green district of Brooklyn, It was learned yesterday, will complain to the Department ot Health against the practice of sending physicians and Inspectors into the district except when absolutely neces sary. Ths ground' of the complaint will be that theee physicians and Inspectors are so much in contact with Infantile paralysis that they themselves are carriers. Inspectors Went Into th district last Mondsy to Investigate general con ditions, and th first cases tn tne district were reported on the following Thursday, It will be represented. Officials at the Health Department said this complaint was not justified, because the Inspectors and physicians were trained to take precautions which prevented their becoming carriers of infantile paralysis.

Every effort must be taken to make this rest complet. The limb must not be allowed to drag en a paralysed muscle, it should be supported by pillow, or pads or bandages. There seems ts be a greater tendency to atrophy If casts ar. used.

A dropped foot may be supported by a sandbsg or pillow; small rolls placed under the knee often hold the leg tn a more comfortable position. Tb weight of the clothing should be kept off the legs by hoops or ether device. If the bead somewhat tetracted and th patient desires to Us on hie back, hs may sometimes be made more comfortable by a small pUlow placed under the shoulders, allowing the head to fall back. Ths value of electricity for treatment In first six weeks Is very doubtful. In many Instances.

It may do harm. Masss.s or passive movements should not be begun for at least five or six weeas and then should be used with great ear. In cases that show a tendency to clear up rapidly the child should be kept tn bed for some time after the ability te wse th muscles returns, it should asvsy be encouraged to try ta stand or to as th muscles otherwise until a considerable time has passed.
