to teach that doctrine to their school

The government publications were

respectively, and the treasury officials Senator HaOding Second Choice,
declared iney were ine nignest pmu
on Government obligations since the
rtavs of the civil war. While the $200,
000.(1(10 bond issue to finance the
Spanish-American war bore the cir
culation privilege and therefore theo
retically paid a higher rate, the
actual interest to be paid out by the !
treasury on those two issues sets
mark which probably will stand for
several decades, it was said.
Mr. Houston laid the high rates
on "recent chances in the situation,'
which have for some time caused
treasury officials to consider changes
in their financial programme. Necessi
ties of the government were laid be
fore the governors of the federal re
serve banks who conferred ail last
week and on the information given
by them, Mr. Houston determined to
raise the rates on government short
term issues.
Both of the new issues of certifi
cates will be dated April 15. The
combined amount will be for 250,000,
000 or more, and the federal reserve
banks are authorized to make allot
ments "in full" on all subscriptions.
The certificates do not bear circula
tion privileges and will not be ac
cepted in payment of taxes.

Witnesses agreed that "stunt" fly

regulations, was responsible for the
tragedy. Between 3000 and 4000 per

the death plunge, which began about

that pilots had been doing forbidden

CLAIMS TO BE PRESSED
McNary Will Try to Prevent Re
dnclion of Airplane Patrol.
Senator McNary has announced that
he will press strongly before the war
department the claims of his constit
uents as regards the reduction in t he
number of airplanes for the Oregon
forest patrol this summer.
In a telegram to George Quayle,
secretary of the Oregon chamber of
commerce, he says: "I am in hearty
accord with the desire to provide for
adequate airplane fire patrol as evi
denced by my amendment, which
passed the senate, appropriating $60,
000 for that purpose. I am thorough
ly disappointed, by the ruling, of the
general staff of the army, 'who. only
recommend one air squadron for this
purpose. I have again applied to the
war department and will press this
claim strongly."

Injections of Scrum Fail to Stem
Headway of Sickness or
Brooklyn Man.
NEW YORK, April 11. (Special.)
Botulism, a rare disease, which first
appeared in this city three months
hko, caused the death yesterday of
Mrs. Sarah Heck of Brooklyn. Her
husband, Frank, is critically ill and
is not expected to live, despite the
injection this afternoon of an anti.
Botulism serum which- has proved
successful in several cases. New
York physicians received first-hand
Ivnowledse of the disease in January,
when it caused the deaths of five
members of a Bronx family from
eating canned ripe olives. With the
Hecks, canned spinach is held re.
bponsible.
The serum was obtained from the
Willard Parker hospital by Dr. Stan-
ley Morton King, who said today the
husband had failed to respond to the
injections, it being apparent that the
disease had grained too much head-
way.
The Hecks went to a restaurant
Wednesday niarht. where both ate the
spinach. The following day Mrs.
Heck was taken ill, but it was not
until Friday morning that Dr. Kin:
was called. He diagnosed the case
as botulism and when the husband
was stricken he called Dr. F. B. Cross
for consultation. The husband was
in delirium tonight. He has not been
told of his wife's death.

Many of the war service publica
tions, the report declared, were es

of certain interests and to
provide comfortable and safe places
for a large number of men who found
such occupation "more congenial than
active service in the front line
trenches."
The law giving the printing com
