It Is the contention of the Bureau of Municipal Research that the outbreaks of typhoid that have occurred this summer are due the milk of certain which in turn became Infected in- a certain country district. It Is asserte -dthat twenty-five times as many patrons of that particular milk concern were Infected with typhoid as those of all the other companies combined. In the affected districts the typhoid cases occurred with startling regularity along the routes of that supply, and In a certain club all the employees who drank milk with their meals-were taken ill with typhoid, while one of them who never takes milk did not get the disease. In February of last year, according to the Health Department's own subsequent report, the sanitary Inspectors were able to trace a sudden outbreak of typhoid to the milk supplied by a single farm In Vermont, where a laborer who was a so-callead "typhoid carrier had! been allowed to handle milk.

The output of this farm was excluded, and the epidemic died down. Why the In spectors were not equally successful this year the Health Commissioner refuses to make public. OPPOSES NEW CHARTER. Brooklyn Board of Real Estate Brok ers Adopts Resolutions, At a meeting of the members of the Brooklyn Board of Real Estate Brokers, resolutions were adopted strongly pro testing against the enactment'of the proposed city charter. The-resolutions demand- that no action be taken on the charter before the convening of the Legislature of 1912, and recommend that tho City Charter be drawn up in open convention so that the people may express their views on its provisions.

The meeting wa presided over by William O. Morrlsey, president of the Board of Brokers. The resolutions are as follows: "WhereaB, There is now pending in the Legislature of tho State a bill known as Assembly Introductory No. 1261, to provide a new charter for the City of New York; and "Whereas, The proposed charter contemplates many radical features which will prove detrimental to the best interests of the city and Its people; although containing improvements In certain form; and "Whereas, The time Is too short in which to thoroughly study and understand the proposed changes, and no reason exists to justify undue haste in a matter of such supreme Importance to the city; therefore, be It "Resolved, That we, the Brooklyn Board of Real Estate Brokers, In conference assembled at 189 Montague street, Borough of Brooklyn, N. on the seventh day of September, 1911, protest against the passage and enactment of tho proposed charter In its present form; and be it further "Resolved, That we demand that no action be taken on the proposed charter until the Legislature of 1912 shall have been convened and the members thereof have been electd on the Issue of the adoption of this charter.

"This association recommends to the Legislature of the that any proposed charter for the Government of the City of New York should be drawn up In open convention so that the citizens who are most directly affected thereby shall have an opportunity to review Its proposed provisions." DOCTOR'S BLOOD SAVES BABY. Transfusion Made When Infant Was Less Than a Day Old. About eight tablespoons of blood were transfused Into the body of Edward Gif-ford, when he was less than a day old, from the forearm of Dr. Marshall W. McDuflie of 571 Park avenue, Manhattan, where the baby was born last Sunday night.

This morning the child, its mother, who lives at Oyster Bay, and the young physician were getting on very well, according to the hospital authorities. The child was found to be suffering from hemophilia, which means excessive bleeding, soon after birth, and when Dr. McDume, who Is a visiting surgeon a.t the hospital, realized that nothing but an Infusion of fresh blood would save it he volunteered to give his own. Hemophilia Is said to be a comparatively rare disease among children at birth. About one in every Ave thousand is so affected.

The injection of serum which coagulates and then acts as a sort of a stopper at the bleeding places Is necessury to save the lives of such children. The blood of a rabbit is often used for that purpose, but there was no rabbit handy at the Hahneman Hospital Monday night, so the doctor offered his own serum. This Is the second time that Dr. McDuffle has volunteered to give his blood to his Brooklynite Rescues 1 0-Year-Old Mabel Bryant From Man in a Hotel. CAME FROM MONTPELIER, VT.

Benjamin W. Boulton, Former Mem ber of the Salvation Army, Placed Under Arrest. i Declaring that she had been brought from Winstcad, to a hotel In this city on Fourteenth near Irving place, Manhattan, and had been crlml-. nilly assaulted, a ten-year-old girl, who said she was Mabel Bryant of Montpelier, was taken from the hotel to the East Twenty-second street police station early today with a man who said he was Benjamin W. Boulton.

28 years old. a lather, living In Montpeller. The child, when she appeared at the station house, carried in her arms a two-foot doll, a toy broom and a miniature carpet sweeper, that she said had been given her by her alleged abductor. Her face was tear- stained and she broke down while tell Ing Lieutenant Adams how she had been treated since her arrival in this city last Thursday. Boulton was held by the police on charges of abduction and criminal assault.

A man who described himself as, WUlr ism H. Lake of 48 South Tenth street, Brooklyn, proprietor of the Globe Film Company of 105 East Fourteenth street, appeared In the East Twenty-second street, station with the man and child, and told the police that he had been awakened while asleep In a room adjoining that of Boulton In the hotel by the cries of a child. Lake had with him a large bulldog that he said had figured in a number of motion picture films and that he was taking to his home in Brooklyn. He said that having been delayed last night he took a room In the hotel and went to sleep shortly before midnight. A few minutes later, be told the police, he heard the screams of a child, which apparently Issued from the adjoining room.

His curiosity was aroused, he said, and he went Into an adjacent storeroom, where he declared he could see what transpired In the adjoining room. He told the police that In the room he saw the child and Boulton, and added that the former was thinly clad. Part ot Lake's story was told to the lieutenant in an undertone. He sold that he rapped on the door and that it was opened. Lake then Informed the police that he reprimanded Boulton, and that the latter brought the child into his room.

He then, he told Lieutenant Adams, ran to the street and found Patrolman Matler of the East Twenty-second street station on a fixed post at Fourth avenue and Sixteenth street. The officer accompanied Lake back to the hotel, and when they arrived in the room they found the little girl and Boulton. The two were brought to the stntlon house. The Bryant girl, with her doll clutched against her, was then asked to tell her story. She said that she left her home In Montclalr when, she failed to say with a captain of the Salvation Army at that place, and went to Wlnsted without Informing her parents of her departure.

Later, she said, the captain, who Is a woman, wrote her parents a letter and told them of ehir girl being taken to Wlnsted. and that she would return home In a few days. She told the police that the captain of the Salvation Army told her that she would meet other officers of the arm yat Wlnsted. The girl told Lieutenant Adams that Boulton accompanied them to Wlnsted and then proposed that Bhe come to New York and see the sights. She consented, she said, and after a spell of crying, the little girl told the police that she came to twe city with Boulton, and that he bought her the toys which she carried In her arms.

She adds dthat when she went to Wlnsted she was accompanied by a grll friend. Ada Johnson, who, she said, was still In Wlnsted, to the best of her knowledge. She further told the police that shortly after their arrival In this city she was taken to the house la which she had been' found by the police and Lake. She told the police of the manner In which she had been treated while In the hotel. Boulton hung his head while the little girl told her story, and he walked unsteadily when he was led to a pen in the rear of the station house.

Dr. Uorrls was called from Bellevue Hospital, and he made an examination of the child. Inquiry at the hotel elicited the Information that Boulton, who told the police he was once a member of the Salvation Army, registered at the hotel on Thursday, when, the police learned, he had the child, and registered her as his daughter. The police communicated with the authorities at Montclalr and informed them ot Boulton's arrest. The child was taken In charge by the police.

Police Learn of Many Burglaries on Park Slope. Sneak thieves have been plying their trade recently on the Park Slope section with more or dess success. On Wednesday afternoon the house of N. Devey, at 1483 Union street, was entered and a number of valuable pieces of silverware were stolen. Nobody was In the house at the time and the thieves had leisure to inspect things.

Mr. Devey believes that they were not experienced in their art. for they took cigars and cheaper silver articles, neglecting valuable things which were handy. The Deveyg have not been married long. and most of the things which were taken were wedding presents.

The neighborhood Is known as "brides row," from the number of newlywedded couples'who live there. There have been quite a number of robberies reported to the police from residents of the section, and the thory is given that the members of the "craft' believe they can find rich picking among the newlyweds. EOF RECORDS ARE KEPT DARK No Information on Spread of Disease Given Out by Health Dept. FEW CASES IN BROOKLYN. Harlem and the 3ronx Are Afflicted Mostly Blame Laid on Certain Milk Supply.

Although there have been several dis tinct outbreaks of typhoid fever in New York City this summer, followed by a record of deaths much higher than the corresponding one for last year, the Department of Health, whose special duty It is to Investigate the causes of any such epidemic of a contagious disease, refuses to muke public its records showing what steps have been taken by the department and what sources of infection, if any, have been discovered. It is to learn what action was taken by the Commissioner of Health and his subordinates when the number of typhoid cases reported to the denartment by private physicians jumped from 28 for tne week ended June 10 to 69 the follow ing week and the number of deaths from 5 to in, that Dr. William II. Allen, director of the Bureau of Municipal Research, has brought an action In the Supreme Court against Health Commissioner Ern- J. Letlerle, under the provision of the charter, Sections 51 and 1545, which provide thflt public records must be open to inspection by liny taxpayer.

Justice Gav-egan, heroic whom the case has been argued. Is expected to render a decision within a few days. Dr. Allen's Action Is Characterized as "Annoying." The contention of the assistant corporation counsel who opposed Dr. Allen's application for the right to examine the Health Department records was that Dr.

Allen had no personal Interest In the mutter except, for the purpose ot annoying the Health Commissioner. Clarence King, counsel for the Bureau of Municipal Research, who argued the case for llr Allen, maintained, on the other hand, tht it Is not necessary for a taxpayer to prove a personal Interest In the records he may desire to examine, and that especially In this case should it not be required, since, as Is well known, the Bureau of Municipal Research acts for all the taxpayers. It Is Dr. Allen's contention that all he wants to barn is whether there has been any negligence on the part of the Health Department in Its handling of the typhoid capes, and, if so, recommend such measures as will prevent the same thing from happening again. The total number of deaths from typhoid fever during the week ended August 26 In the entire city were 31.

as compared with 15 the corresponding week Inst year. The week before that there were 2" deaths, compared with 12 last yti.r. The week ended August 5 ther were 16 fatal eases of typhoid, and only 9 the same week of 1910. These ngures are taken from the official reports of the Department of Health. In seven weeks and lour (lays, roughly speaking, during July and August of the present year, there were reported canes of typhoid fever in the greater city, as against 728 during the same period last summer, being an increase of 297 cases.

The number of deaths were 112 this year, as compared with 86 during the same time last season. The greatest number of sickness cases were reported during the week ended August 19. when the number reached 183. The following week It was 143. and the one after that 121, and during the first five days of this week 110 new cases broke out.

Relatively Few Typhoid Fever Cases in Brooklyn. These: Increases occurred chiefly In certain localities. There have been relatively few cases In Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond, while the two wards comprising the Borough of the Bronx, which last year made a low record for typhoid cases, this year showed an alarming number! Certain parts of Manhattan, notably Harlem and the so-called upper West Side, also showed great jumps from week to week. During the week ending June 10 there was but one case of typhoid In the whole Borough of the Bronx. The following week there were 6, and the week after that 3 cases.

The week ending July 29. there were 10 cases, and the following week the record Jumped to 19 cases. Tho third week In August the total was 43, and the week after that 31 cases were reported from the Bronx. In Manhattan the Twelfth Ward, which includes all of Harlem, bad the greatest sudden increases, mere were but two cases the first week In June, and the second week there were nine. The second week In July there were 15 cases, and the last week of the same month 20 eases.

For the week ending August 26 there were 23 cases. The only other ward In Manhattan that had any sudden outbreak of the fever was the Twenty-second which is the district bounded by' Fortieth and Eighty-sixth streets on the West Side. The week ending June 10 there were but five cases reported from thare Jiut the following week there were 14. A month later the number was 15, reporte 1 within one week, and the last week In July 32 fresh cases broke out. That was about the average number of cases reported from that locality throughout the month of August.

During the week ending August 26. however, the number hal gone down to nine. How Typhoid Fever Cases Are Supervised by Board of Health.

Magistrate John F. Hylan announces that he is a candidate for nomination tor Supreme Court Justice this fall. Since the passage of the act by the Legisla ture creating three new Justiceships In this Judicial district, Hylan has been hustling among the Democratic leaders seeking their support, and It is said that he has received several promises. He was a candidate last year, and he had promises then. Magistrate Hylan Is making his own way to the Supreme Court Bench.

He made his own way as a lawyer. When he came to Brooklyn from his father's farm In Greene County, as a young man, he took employment laying tracks on the Kings County Elevated Railroad. Later he became a fireman on an elevated road locomotive, and finally en gineer. He studied law at the same time and finally was admitted to the bar. He became well known in the uptown section of Brooklyn, ran for Municipal Court Justice in 1905, and was appointed magistrate In 190fi.

In 1908 he received an appointment as magistrate for a full term of ten years. His announcement of his Supreme Court aspirations was received by The Eagle today in the following form: "In connection with the agitation In the Eastern District to have representation on the Supreme Court ticket, Migls-trate John F. Hylan, in an Interview, had this to say: "I do not hesitate to say that the section of this borough lying east of Broadway, known generally as the Willlams-bnrg, Bushwick and East New York districts, Is entitled to representation on the judiciary ticket. "There reside within the localities mentioned approximately half a million people, composed mostly of honest, Industrious, hard working mechanics, laborers and small business men, who conform t' all the requirements of good citizenship, but whose only political significance ap pears around election time, when their votPS are wanted There are seventeen Supreme Court justices now In the Second District, not one of whom resides in the section of Brooklyn lying east of Broadway, while tere are many capable lawyers residing in this district. It Is discouraging to them to feel that there is little, If any, hope for them to aspire to such a high honor.

"Last yea rthe Eastern District asked to haave representation on the Judiciary ticket, but was unable to secure the nom ination. Again this year the people of these sections are demanding the consideration to which they are entitled. "I take this opportunity of saying frankly that 1 am a cvandidate for Supreme Court Justice. If it is shown that any other candidate for judicial honors, coming from teh localities I have men tioned, has stronger support and is preferred by the people, 1 am willing to step aside. "We ourselvbes are to blaume for this situation, because we have not realized the necessity of uniting In a demand for recognition, but have been satisfied with accepting gratefully the small considera tions that have been extended.

"1 wish to ask all those who believe that the Eastern District should have one of the three nominations on the Judiciary ticket to see the representatives of their district to this end."

C. McCutcheon of the Cunard liner Carmanla has won himself a name for coolness and bravery by his action In entering the turbine of the big vessel to fix an engine while the temperature of the turbine was 200 degrees. A pipe had burBt in the center of the three turbines and had put It out of commission. Had not McCutcheon dared the terrific heat there would have been a delay of several hours until the center turbine cooled sufficiently to permit the closing of some doors, thus leaving the ship to run with two turbines. McCutcheon was In the center turbine about twenty minutes in all, with three or four interruptions for air.

He finally got the doors shut and, despite his ordeal, ho needed no medical attention when the Job was finished. Chief Engineer Cruthers, who said that he certainly would not have ordered a man to venture Into the turbine, commended McCutcheon and so did Captain Dow, who called him into his cabin.
