the a a a a a a THE BROOKLYN CITIZEN. FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1908 OPIUM VICTIMS NUMBER 5,000 IN N. Y. C. Startling Figures Published by American Physician.

GOING TO SHANGHAI CONFAB. Chinese Opium Smokers, He Says, Are Anxious to Be Cured of the Habit. WASHINGTON, July are at least 5,000 people who are slaves to the opium habit in New York city alone. Of the 3,000 Chinese residents there, it that from 600 to is variously 1,000 are estimates, although nearly all of them, it is believed. "hit the pipe" ance or twice a day.

without ill-effect. Just as an ordinary man might smoke one or two cigars. Those of the Chinese who smoke opium to excess regret the fact. wish to be cured it they co could. and are among the strongest advisers against the contraction of the habit by the younger generation.

Chinese doctors are working on a cure which they believe will be efficient. In New York the method, which originated in Singapore. is being tested, and in Philadelphia the "Shanghai cure" is bein: tried with satisfactory results. In Philadelphia, out of A thonsand Chinese not more than 300 are confirmed opium devotees. These interesting facts have been dug out by Dr.

Wright, one ot the three American representatives to the International Commission for the investigation of the opium traftic, which is to meet Shanghai, China, Jan. 1. 1909. Dr. Tenney.

another member of the American commission, is working in China, and the third place has not vet been filled. Dr. Wright has been making exhanstive inquiries into the extent of the opium traffic in this country by personal visits to the principal cities. He has just returned from New York and Philadelphia. having visited Pittsburg, and will shortly proceed to Boston, Portland and other New England points before going West.

He is securing his information from police and health headquarters in the various towns; from the State Health Board: from manufacturers of opium; from jobbers and druggists and has also enlisted the aid of the American Medical Association. Dr. Wright points out that from 1903 to 1907, a period of four years, the imports of crude opium increased more than, a million pounds over the preceding five years. and the Commission wants to find out where it goes. From his investiga tions SO far, he says that 75 ver cent.

of the total is made into morphine. Of that from 50 per cent. to 90 per cent. is used for illegitimate purposes. leaving only from 10 per cent.

to 25 per cent. for legitimate use. Of smoking opium, there were 54.000| pounds imported in 1878. when there was a large Chinese population in this country. 151,000 pounds were imported in 1907.

when the Chinese had decreased in numbers. Ile takes this 08 proof that the habit has spread among the whites. Dr. Wright says that he is receiving hearty co-operation from all to whom he applies for information. including the manufacturers of opium who want to obey the laws, and have their product used for legitimate purposes.

He thinks that he will to produce some interesting statistics within a short time. LUSITANIA'S QUICK TRIP. Only Two Hours Slower Than Her Record Voyage Westward Made Recently. The Cunard Line steamer Lusitania arrived this morning, from Liverpool And Queenstown after a passage of four days, twenty-one hours and thirty -six minutes. covering a distance of 2.890 miles speed of 24.57 knots an hour.

829 TO STRETCH GUIDE WIRES FOR NEW BRIDGE CABLES Most Delicate Piece of Work on the Whole Structure. MACHINERY NOW IN PLACE. Manhattan Bridge, It Is Asserted. Should Be Completed Before the End of Next Year. Temporary construction on the new Manhattan Bridge is now completed, and within a few days will commence the spinning of the big cables, from which will be suspended the massive steel structure.

The first of the 37.558 wires that will be assembled into the four cables will be stretched avross the river next week, as soon as the cable-making machinery is ready for operation. The machinery is now in place at each anchorage, and needs only 2 few days' more work before being started. The stretching of the first wire from tower to tower is the most delicate piece of actual construction on the whole bridge. It will be a guide wire, and its position must be adjusted with extreme care. There will be 1 guide wire for each of the four cables, and I the fixing of the proper positions for these.

upon which the entire span depends, will he a most exact piece of engineering. Several days will probably be devoted to this commencement of the permanent span When the guide wires are in place, the machinery will start spinning out on the same curve 23.100 miles of wire. 3-16 of an inch in diameter, which will ultimately he hound together in strands, groups. and the cables themselves. There will be 9.472 wires in each cable, assembled in thirty-seren strands.

The wire alone will weigh 12,537.000 pounds. and will cost $1.567.125. The spinning of the cables will probably be finished late in the spring of next year. The suspension of the steel structure will follow the removal of the temporary foot -bridges. for which there will be 110 use after the cables are finished.

Nearly 60 per cent. of the steel that will be used in the structure is ready. stored at Bayonne, and when the work of putting it together is once started. it will, probably proceed with astonishing rapidity. The Manhattan Bridge should be completed before the end of next year.

The annals of genius are filled to overflowing with the names of men who toiled and achieved fame under a full habit. Nothing can be more unjust than the gibe about "fat and folly" and fatness and indolence. Martin Luther was as fat as Calvin was thin; Ernest Renan's obesity did not obscure his and brilliancy. Many writers and speakers have too long spoken invidiously of fatness, but the best retort we have been able to glean in our researches into this weighty subject is that of C. H.

Spurgeon, the famous preacher. "People," said Spurgeon, "say I am fat. am not fat. am bone and flesh. My limbs, thank God, are amply clothed, and am in mg right mind.

as he was able to talk and direct the movements of fellow employees who went to his aid. After he was removed to the Eastern District Hospital in an ambulance, the full extent of his injuries was disclosed. It was discovered by the doctors that his body below the neck was completely paralyzed. The break of the spine in his back was not 80 bad as the one in his neck. No hope was held out for his recovery.

it belng the opinion of the doctors that death would ensue within a few hours. But it was Hider's fine physical condition and his remarkable vitality which kept him alire. Doctors became interested in the case and many went to the institution to see him. Hider apparently -felt well until shortly after midnight last night, when he seized with a sudden sinking spell and died soon after.
