NEW YORK, Dec. 28. Declaring
that only the interposition of Provi-
denco prevented "cholera and other
infectious diseases from gaining a
foothold in New York," Governor
John A. Dix today demanded the im
mediate resignation of Dr. Alvnh
Doty, chief of the quarantine station
here since 1907.
Dix charges that Doty failed to
maintain an effective safeguard to
the health of the city and state, and
that he has not given "anything like
an intelligent, honest and efficient
administration."
Charles Bulger, the commissioner
investigating the charges made to
Dix, reported accusing the chief and
his administration of "misconduct,
extravagance, dishonesty, depravity
and immorality."
Doty, who is a republican, blames
politics for the onslaught on his ad
ministration of the quarantine sta
tion. Governor Dix's letter to Doty says,
iu part:
"Immoral and lewd practices are
indulged in by orderlies and other
servants of your office with immi
grant women nnd girls, while they arc
in quarantine. Lvidence nl-o shows
a condition of squalor and imclennli-
ness in the rooms where the immi
grants arc kept which is shocking to
my sense of decency nnd which
makes one ashamed of his country.
In addition to this, orderlies have
been permitted to carry the bodies of
deceased children in their arms from
the hospital to the morgue.
"There has been the grossest fail
ure under you to either establish or
maintain such a real quarantine law
as the welfare of tlio country de
mands at the port of New York."
"Governor West wnuo more
speeches and did more effective work
than any one of the wetorn gov
ernors on the recent eastern trip, ac
cording to Publicity Malinger Mc
Dowell of the Hill lines," stated Wil
liam Gerig of the Pacific & Eastern,
who has just returned from a north
ern trip, where he miu Mr. McDowell.
"The publicly given Oregon by Mr.
West will prove of great alue, iu the
opinion of the publicity manager,
continued Mr. Gerig, "as be made tlu
most speeches and most effectively
lortrayed the resources of his state.'

The Jong drives of "Home Run" Dakor of tlio Philadelphia Athletics, would resemble n weakling's bunts
compared to tho hits ho could mako if ho lived on Phobits, one of tho two moons of Mars, ncording to Pro
fessor P. It. Moulton, of the Univeisity of Chicago. What's more, ho could udd greater glory to himself by
plnying oery po&itton in n gamo by, with and against hinibelf. All that would bo necessary would bo tho ubil
ity to livo iu a placo without atmosphere.
Professor Moulton wns tulkmg to n church ooiety about carlhliko planets when ho said:
"Provided a nmn could livo 'n a place like Phobus, ho could be tho best baseball nine imaginable, nnd -ill
byjjimsclf, And ho would lmvo painty of timo between plays to assume the role of u fan and cheer himself.
How would ho do it? After announcing to himself the batteries ho would tako his placo as pitcher and throw
tho ball horizontally. It would go all the way around tho moon. Ho would then have timo to get u bat nnd
strio it, If lie missed it bo could tako his three strikes, then put on his utnsk, gloves und chest protector and
patch himself out when tlio ball camo nrouud tho fourth time." ,
