The barometers on the brtdges of a dozen ships off to the northeast are very high today, and that's why New York is about as nonr to shivering as one can get in July. The high barometer an a 1. been swept over this part of ttu country The three Brooklyn medical men, John O. Polak. Robert L.

Dickinson and W. B. Brinsmade, who sailed on Wednesday last for a tour of study and Inspection at the clinics of the great medical colleges of Europe, will visit Freiberg, Germany. It 1 understood that while there they will make inquiries Into the use of "Twilight Sleep," a method of treating women at cnlldoirth that has attracted much attention In this country. It Is claimed that by the use of two drugs, scopolamin and morphine administered under a method developed at the University of Baden, at Freiberg, childbirth is possible without suffering.

Dr. Bernard Konig and Professor Karl Gauss, are the specialists in charge at the Freiberg Hospital, and they make wonderful claims for their method. Recently "Twilight Sleep" has been extensively exploited In this country through magazine articles and other devices promoted by the Freiberg specialists. Intense interest has been aroused in It among women. Brooklyn doctors, and gynecologists generally, have been beseiged for information on the subject, and have been urged to adopt the new method.

It is learned by Inquiry among specialists In obstetrics and gynecology that little credence Is placed In the remarkable stories that have come over from Germany regarding the marvels of "Twilight Sleep." In fact specialists of Manhattan and Brooklyn, who were interviewed generally frowned on the new treatment and severely condemned the widespread currency given to Its alleged wonders as misleading and harmful In the extreme. Dr. Dickinson made an Investigation of the method on a visit he made to Freiberg last year. It Is known that he was not favorably Impressed. The other Brooklyn doctors with hlra on this trip, are expected to make In Jacob H.

Shaffer have been presented to Attorney General James C. Mclloy-nolds as candidates to succeed Colonel William J. YoutieTS as United States Utstrlct Attorney In Brooklyn. Shaffer Is the candidate of the Brooklyn branch of the Jeffersonlan Alliance. Bert Hansom's anti-Murphy organization, and Woody Is backed up by a group of Democratic lswyors.

News of Woody 'a candidacy has sur prised the alliance leaders, who claim to be the real representative of Independent Democracy In Brooklyn, and are Jealoua of the efforts of other groups of lnderiendonts who attempt to get recoirnltion from the National Ad ministration. The alliance baa been pressing Shaffer's candidacy for some time, but despite their utmost efforts they have discovered that Woody, wun only the support of a small group ot Independents, has been receiving Just as much, if not more, consideration at Washington than their own candidate. Hla name has been presented to Senator James A. O'Gormun and Is described as being "not unacceptable" to nlm- Tho nomncrntln lawvers who are said to be Woody's chief supporters are described as "men of considerable Influence in Manhattan ami Brooklyn law clroles," although their names are being kept secret.

ThU office, which na.vs J4.50O a year, la one of the four big Federal places which the alliance has been working hard to land for members or tub organisation. They have been told, however, that Attorney (lenerul James C. McReynolds does not Intend to name a successor to Colonel Youngs until he haa served his full term oi imir y.io, which will not be until next January. The Alliance leaders are looking for quicker action In the matter of titling tho other three positions, the Hurvey-orshlp in Mnnhattan, which pays a year; the United States Marshnlshlp, salary, 4,000 and the Collectorship at J4.6O0.

John E. Eastmond, the Alliance candidate for tho Surveyorship, has met powerful opposition in Washington from Senator James A. O'Oorman, who is blocking his appointment. Charles Fuller, president of the Brooklyn League, who was for a time under con- In anil! to be Out of it. George E.

The announcement of his appointment was expected last week, and tho fact that no late news of the situation has reached the local Independent Democrats, Is worrying them considerably.

The Collectorship will go either to IXong Island or Brooklyn, and the ap-Rpolntee must qualify as an anti-Mur phy man. unit uwi1 tied according to tho Alliance leaders. Harry P.

25c; CHILDREN, 10c HAMILTON between the widow of Pamuel Molostowsky, who was killed when his automobile crashed Into an electric train at Queens, last night, and Jacob Molly, a brother of the dead man, for possession of the body in the Coroner's office In Jamaica today, brought out the fact that Molostowsky had been separated from his wife for a month because of his attentions to Miss Bessie Zatulove, his sister-in-law, who was with him when the accident occured and who was also killed. Mrs. Molostowsky's attorney, Ezra Gottlieb, stated that the occupants of the racing automobile which sped away after the crash, were David Zatulove, a brother of the dead woman with friends. The coroner Issued a permit to the widow to remove her husband's body, deciding that she had prior right. He refused to turn over the effects of tho dead man until letters of administration were procured.

Another sister-in-law, Irene Zatulove, 80, who lived with her sister, Bessie, was badly hurt. The automobile, not responding to Its driver's efforts to halt It, crashed through the safety gates at the Long Island Railroad crossing at Hempstead turnpike and crashed Into the side of a passing train. Molostowsky is said to have been racing with the driver of a bigger touring oar. As the two vehicles, speeding at forty miles an hour, approached the orossing, James Thomas, the gateman, lowered the safety gates for a Brooklyn-bound electric train that had just pulled out of Queens depot at 8:03. The big car stopped several feet from the gates.

But the smaller one did not even slacken speed, although It could be seen that Molostowsky was doing his best to Hop it. It crashed through one of Ihe gates. Then Molostowsky tried to turn sharply so as to run alongside the train without striking It. But he was Unsuccessful, and with a crash that Could be heard for blocks, the touring tar smashed into the side of the second tar of the three-car train. The rear shoe of the second car iaught in the mudguard of the automobile "and dragged it and Its three bcfcupSHts for 800 feet along the (racks.

The contact of the shoe and midguard caused a short circuit, and when the train stopped there was a lilinding flash and flames shot along the under sides of the second and third cars. Finally the flames spread the wreck of the automobile and the gasoline tank blew up with a roar. Bodies Taken From Wreckage. But meanwhile the dead and dying Im been rescued, at least from the threatening flames. Mounted Freese and Patrolmen Albert Ooss and John Deboe of the Jamaica station, had heard the crash ran down the tracks to the heap bf wreckage beside the train.

They found Molostowsky and his sister-in-aw pinned under the debris of the Xutomobile. The policemen quickly lifted the wreckage and each picked up one of the victims and carried them back to the crossing. The man had been killed Instantly And crushed beyond recognition. Dr. jjchoenberg of the Jamaica Hospital rushed the two women to that institution, where Bessie Zatulove died half an hour later.

Her sister has a possible fracture of the skull, Internal injuries, broken collar bone, right hip and lower Jaw. Her left thumb was torn off. Tlie Queens firemen were called out to "extinguish the blazing cars and DUrnlh'g automobile wreckage. The nasengers in the train had become paulo-stricken at the collision, flash of, 'electricity and the crackling of the (hunts, which, however, did not burst Into tlie cars, and they made a rush fiir the doors. Conductor John Maxey, or'" '2 1 'Bryant avenue, Jamaica, restrained them and managed to get chem all out of the train uninjured.

Later the train picked them up again and proceeded, having been little damaged by the fire. Coroner Carl Voesel heard the Crash at his home in Queens and hurried to the scene of the tragedy. He ordered the body of Molostowsky removed to Moran's undertaking establishment. He also ordered tho arrest of James Thomas, the crosing gate-man, and Eugene Kisam, of 4944 Beaufort street, Jamaica, the motor-man of the train, on technical charges bf homicide, although he said he did Cot consider them in any way to lame. Later he went to the Jamaica police station and paroled both men until they are wanted as witnesses at the inquest.

While Mounted Sergeant Freese was nn his way to the scene of the accident, his horse became unmanageable And bolted. The animal crashed through another portion of the still lowered safety gates and threw Freese heavily to the ground. After he had finished his work at the accident he reported sick at the police station and went his home in Glendale, suffering' from cuts and bruises. BOY MYSTF.KIOrsLY SHOT.

Moreover, the well-known Weather Man, ho usually cheers us up by promlsiiier just the kind of weather we, want, said solmen-ly from bis perch at tho top of tho Whitehall Building, that there was no immediate prospect of ho weather warming up. "The weather will stay cloudy, and we'll have occasional showers this nfternoon and eening to cool things off," he said coldly. The noritial nvernge temperature for July 6, is 73 degrees. The coldest Jtilv 6 ever recorded was In when the temperature was only 7.

Hut as July temperatures go, today might bo a whole lot worse, for In 1S7II thermometer stood at IiO, so that everyone was frtgliteued, and the price of coal went up, mid lints canm down.

"If the wind shifts to the south, tho temperature will rlso."

Are Accused of Violating the Sher man Anti-Trust Act. Dea Moines, Iowa, July Thirty-six plumbers, from eight Central States, will appear before Judge Smith McPberson, In the Federal Court here tomorrow, to answer an Indictment charging them with violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust act. Twenty of the plumbers are resi dents of Iowa. Three are from Ne. braska, three from Missouri, three from Illinois, one from Indiana, four from Wisconsin, one from Minnesota and one from Michigan.

AH tire expected to plead not guilty quiries also. It Is claimed that 6,000 cases nave oeen successfully treated at Freiberg, tbe number including many American women, alleged to have made the Journey specially to come under tbe care of the German specialists. Local medical men are a unit In declaring that the Freiberg method is certain to raise false hopes and lead to mischief. The Idea Is not new. Scopolamin, a drug used to deaden pain before more modern anesthetics were found, is the most powerful de-1 pressent of the nervous system known to medicine.

Years ago It was commonly used to quiet the violent Insane in asylums. Although It will ameliorate pain at childbirth. Its use Is declared to be dangerous, and It Is denied that it produces the "Twilight Sleep" so glowingly described. Most of the specialist Interviewed are eminent not only In the Greater City, but have national reputations. Brooklynites among them include the following: Dr.

O. P. Humpstone of the Jewish and Scney hospitals, Dr. William P. Pool, associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the Long Island Medical College Hospital; Dr.

A. A. Hussey, the chief operating obstetrician and gynecologist at tbe Brooklyn Hospital, and Dr. William H. Carey, also one of the chief specialists at the Brooklyn Hospital.

Brooklynites Find Treatment Unsatisfactory. Views of New Yorker ffiven Include those of Dr. Ross McPberson, chief ob-stretrlcian at the Lying-in Hospital, affiliated with a half dozen Manhattan hospitals; Dr. J. D.

Voorhees of tbe Sloan Hospital for Women, Dr. T. Hull of the Lincoln Hospital; Dr. J. Milton MoITatt, a specialist of renown of many hospitals and other Institutions, and Dr.

John B. Buebler, a representative of the osteopathic obstretriolans. Drs. Humpstone, Carey and Robert L. Dickinson are among Brooklyn specialists who have tried the new method and found It wanting.

Dr. Humpstone said: "We tried the method here but did not get the results claimed for it at Freiberg. The treatment Is safe only in selected cases and would prove a danger if used promiscuously because of the varying susceptibilities of patients. "These powerful drugs have such a depressing effect on the heart and circulation that if It becomes necessary to assist the stork the operation may prove more than serious. There Is a danger of children coming into the world asphyxiated when scopolamin is uaed.

We find women do suffer pain und-ir tbe treatment, though they are not Impressed with It afterward." Dilllcultles of Standardizing Dose of tho Drug. Dr. Carey also made a point of the danger of attempting to standardize the dose that might given where such powerful drugs are administered. "In particularly susceptible cases fatal effects on the unborn might be expected," he said. "While tbe drug serves to obliterate recollection of suf fering afterward, It at times causes delirium while the pain lasts, requiring restraint of the patient In order to guard against the upsetting of precautions against aseptio poisoning Also, such medication favors to an unknown extent post-partum hemorrhage.

"One of tho most Important arguments against tbe method is the resultant clouding of th symptoms which serve as the physician's harbingers In conducting his case. Wo all use drugs when possible to ameliorate pain, and with more gratifying results generally than are those of this method." Dr. Hussey declared that while theoretically tbe position of the German specialists was sound, be had found the working out of the practical details to be Inadvisable for general use. "Although all practitioners ameliorate It whenever possible, It Is a fact, hard but true, that the perception of Daln Is necessary to the proper conduct of the case," he explained. He also made the points as to the danger of fatality to the child resulting from the use of the two drugs, the risks of an overdose, and disputed the claimed relief for the patient.

Dr. Pool said he might admit the use of the method In selected and caro-fully examined cases only. False llo)OS Raised by Reports. The objections of the Manhattan specialists to the treatment were as emphatic: ns those ot their Brooklyn colleagues. Ir.

K'Ti-it of Morphine Was to Retard Lrentlilim, Says Dr. Md'hersoti. Dr. Ross Md'herson of 20 West Fiftieth street Manhattan, said: "I am reluctant to express a definite opinion on the claims of the Freiberg special ists at this time because I haven had the opportunity to examine them carefully. When we first began to use the method In this country a number of years ago I did not find the results successful.

I found that the babies didn't do as well as in cases where soopolamin and morphine were not used. The effect of the morphine was to retard breathing. Of course the claims for the method are similar to those put forward for most new, or supposedly new ideas. It was much tbe same In the matter of the recent widely heralded tuberculosis cure." Dr. J.

Milton Mabbott, of IB Fifth avenue, Manhattan, said: "I know tho treatment, but I have always been Inclined to use plenty of chloroform where conditions warranted In preference to it. I understand, however, that the treatment has been greatly Improved by giving one dose of morphine only, that administered with the first dose of scopolamin. The latter only is repeated, owing to the susceptibility of infants to the effect of morphine. The latter slows down the Infant's breathing, as soon as It Is absorbed from the mother's circulation."
