WANT DAY OF REST FOR ALL MOTHERS FORCE CHILDREN TO CONTRACT EPIDEMIC Physicians Blame Ignorant Fatalism for Spread of Disease in Brooklyn. CASES INCREASE 100 DAILY. Little Ones Ordered Into Houses Reekin? With Measles and Scarlet Fever. Xr cases of measles are still being reported in Brooklyn at the rate of more than one hundred a day. On the last day for which reports have been filed, March 12.

l.lo new cases were reported in this borough. On the same day only f3 cases were reported in Manhattan. Throughout the past few months there have been mauy more eases of measles in Brooklyn than in Manhattan. On March 7. 131 new cases developed; March 8 115: March 9.

78; March 10, 106; March 11. 102. Dr. Blauvelt, the Sanitary Superintendent, says that only one-third or' all cases reported are those of children attending schools, and that about two-tbirds are those of children less than five and one-half years of age. Thcre are only a few-adults afflicted with the disease.

"The general notion that most of the cases of ineflsles are to be found among school children is erroneous," said Dr. Blauvelt. Brooklyn Now Suffering From Scourge. The type of measles found In Brooklyn this year is unusually severe, and the proportion of deaths due to it is greater than uBual. Scarlet fever, on tho other hand, appears this year in a milder form.

"One of the chief difficulties in stamping out an epidemic of the kind we are now having in Brooklyn." said Dr. Blauvelt, "is the lack of co-operation on the part of the parents of foreign children. Many Italian and German mothers deliberately expose their children to contagion. They believe that since the child is bound to get the disease sooner or later it is best to have it over with as soon as possible. When they hear of a case of measles or scarlet fever in the block, they sometimes take their children to the infected house to have them catch the disease.

If they do this in a year when the disease is appearing in a mild form it may be a good thing for the child which escapes with a comparatively slight attack." Dr. Blauvelt Baid that seven additional inspectors have been put to work in this borough to help the regular Health Department force In looking after infected houses. Protest by Trade Board President. To the Editor of tne Brooklyn Eagle: In my recent letter concerning conditions' in the Department of Health, to which you courteously gave personal notice, I cited specific data, which have attracted attention from several prominent family doctors. Many of them Indorse the statements, and all of them seeiu alive to this all-important matter.

The total number of conuiglous diseases in the Borough of Brooklyn for thfc week ended March 12 is the highest ever recorded. So far as ihe practical work of the local department is concerned, we ore without a working head. Brooklyn his Do sanitary supei intendent. Dr. Ben-sel.

In addition to being sanitary superintendent of the entire city in fact, is health commissioner in spirit. He is now on 'i hunting trip, which I understand will continue for the next ten days. In the meantime, Dr. Blauvelt, his understudy. Is to look after his aiiairs while he is aw.ty shooting.

Dr. Herkimer, who was the former chief of the contagious division, ha3 been pieced in the office sorting index cards, at $1,800 per year, instead of being permitted to handle, or nt letisi help to handle, the present dangerous epidem'c, and Dr. Hubbard Is running the office according to his personal ideas. Through lb-' trouble between Herkimer and Hubbard, and the conflict of interests which prevails between the child hjgiene department and the contagious division, the whole system of Inspection is demoralized. Only a few days ago a pupil in Tubllc School No.

158 was removed from the classroom in the pec-ling stage ot Ecsrlet fever, and he was permitted lo erter thero through inadequate inspection. 1 am reliably Informed that since this deplorable incident several children have become afflicted with the dread disease, and this is but a beginning of what will doubtless oce-ir within the next two wftks. In the Children's Hospital, at 398 Herkimer there are at present forty cases of measles, and fifteen of diphthe- ria, and there is no public record to riiow the conditions. Four of the children were iecently removed to tne Kingston Avenue Htppital, and no public record of the fact is made in the department. Matters of this serious chiraeter shoitlrl be brought before the Grand Jury or some other competent authority to the end tnat tne Health Department undergo the cleaning it, tartly needs.

Ulysses G. B. Pierce. Chaplain of the United States Senate, the Speaker. The George Washington anniversary and Edward Everett Hale memorial meeting was hold in the Music Hall of the Academy of Music last night, this being the annual meeting provided for by the Graham foundation.

Professor Franklin W. Hooper presided, taking the place of Dr. J. M. Farrar, who could not be present on account of his church duties.

Professor Hooper said that in 1S4S Mr. Graham presented $20. 000 to clear the old Brooklyn Institute from debt. The surplus was to be expended, in part, to provide for an annual address in memory of Gporge Washington or some other great American, sixty-two famous Americans have been thus commemorated. Edward Everett Halo, who was selected as the subject for this year, has often spoken before Brooklyn Institute audiences, the last time being less than two years ago.

November 22, 1908, when his subject was "Lift Where You Bland." The speaker of the evening was Rev. Dr. Ulysses G. B. Pierce of Washington, Dr.

Hale's former pastor, and his suc cessor as chaplain of the United States Senate. Dr. Pierce said that it was impossible for him to give anything like an adequate biography of Edward Everett Hale. Insiead. he would speak of some of his most striking characteristics, one of which was his youthfulness.

2:15 CHARLOTTE WALKER JUST A WIFE MUSEE WORLD IV WAY Mnnimvr Kantian. Inin.i'n.-. CINEMATOGRAPH HIPPODROME A. Trip I In nl The Bullet to Japan I Harth of Biplane Up 500 Feet Above Throngs at Jamaica Race Track. 70MILE SPEED ATTAINED, French Aviator Makes Daring Turns, and Surprises Even Men Well Versed in Aviation.

What was described as one of the most daring anil spectacular flights crer made by Louis Paulhan, the French aeronaut, was witnessed yesterday afternoon by an enthusiastic crowd at the Metropolitan Race Track, Jamaica. The flight lasted over eight minuteB, and the aviator operated at a height of nearly 500 feet, and circled in his aeroplane for a distance of five miles. The spectators were thrilled by the splendid exhibition of skill given by the Frenchman, and by his perfect control over the machine even in the most dan serous situations. Wilbur Wright, who had attended the two former exhibitions, was conspicuous by his absence yesterday. His aversion to Sunday flying was said to be the cause.

The flight will be repeated to-day. If conditions are favorable. Weather conditions were well nigh perfect yesterday for the making ol flights, and the warmth of the spring sun shine brought hundreds of automobilistB and others interested in the "bird man' to the Jamaica track. At 3 o'clock sev eral hundred were within the racing grounds, ind large numbers gathered In automobiles, in trees and on housetops outside. Several hundred persons forced 11 lock on a side door and swarjned on Iho field beforo the guards wore aware what had been done.

At 3:30, when the biplane was advanced some yards further toward the field, the crowd was variously estimated at from 1,000 to 3.000 people, the latter estimate being given by Manager Cleary. Shortly after 4 o'clock the little French aeronaut, dressed In his usual leather suit, accompanied by Monsieur and Madame Mescarroll, and Madame Faulhan, went to the hollow In the eastern part of the Held, where Paulhan had a difficult time on Friday In controlling his machine, to gauge the air currents. His appearance was a signal for some lusty cheers, especially upon the part of his countrymen, of whom there were many present. The machine began to move toward the eastern extremity of the field. Its starting point for flights, at 4:30.

Ten minutes later Paulhan was seated at his lever, and at 4:43, with a chug and a whirr, the big revolving motor was set in motion. The rubber wheels under the bi-plane started to advance, and in a second the tires were lifted from the ground, and the aeroplane darted forward and upward. Due east, away from the falling sun, the air craft sped. The wind was blowing briskly, and when the daring rider reached the currents of wind which hovered around the hollows, a shiver passed through the big yellowish wings and the airship rocked from side to side liko a ship on a stormy Bea. "He can't roako the big flight to-day, declared tin aeronautic experts.

"This wind and those hollows and the surrounding buildings make it too dangerous. He must return." But the dauntless Frenchman thought different. If only he could get past this point and up into the (aimer regions of the air he would be safe, thought Paulhan. He had by this timo reached the outer skirts of the track, and up he went, and still east. The expectant crowd then thought that he would make hia usual turn.

But Paulhan had decided to niako for Saturday's failure, and continued his course over the sheds, far out into the open country and well toward the quiet village of Springfield, whoso Inhabitants were staring at the sight of the airship. By this lime the biplane had if gained perfect poise, and drifted through the air calmly and evenly. "A 'cross-country flight," declared the crowd, and as the artificial bird went farther and farther and higher and higher, a 'crops-country flight it appeared to be. Suddenly the rider switched bis lever, the ciaft turned Hr rose toward the left, and then made a sharp curve to the right it was now 4:45 and then darted toward the south and the southeast, whirled around to the west and glided along until ngf.ln opposite the crowd, but over a mile distant. Another turn of the rudder and the wing tips brought the aeroplane toward the east.

Higher and higher it climbed on the mountains of air, and faster and faster It sped, pushed onward by the wind, until it was soaring thro-igh the iitinosrhere from 400 tn 5:10 feet above the ground and at a seventy-mile-on-hour clip. A wide and continued turn brought the chugging sound of the Farman machine back toward the grounds. To the north of the grand Btand, and as far as Locust avenue. It then soared out of sight of the crowds, and then, hovering ovor rho raco track Hiclosure again, it swooped toward the ground at a terrilic paco, like a hawk diving after its prey, directly over the clubhouse. It looked for a moment as If the great wings would be caught on the turret of tho house, and the biplane dashed to destruction, and tha crowd again held its breath.

But the driver wbb not to bo so caught. Tha rubber tires on the aeroplane missed (he roof by a scant few feet, and the next instant, just at 4:51. eight minutes after Ihe start, the front wing of the biplane was lifted up to prevent the craft from su lking the, ground head first, and the tires struck lightly on the greensward end bounded along the ground. A cheer of applause was sent up from the assembled crowd, and Paulhan, bowing and snMling, returned to his shed and to the embrace of his dark-eyed wife uud his loyal crew. According to Edwin Cleary.

the manager of tho Frenchman, Paulhan declared lhat this was the best flight ho had ever niacin, and many who were trained in aeronautics asserted tint, considering the danger in starting and landing, and the innumerable houses and obstacles to overcome, th0 flight was a marvelous on. SPELLING BEE AT EUCLID. An old-fashioned spoiling be0 was held in the Euclid school Friday evening. There, was nrlzo offered to tha winner in each department, a gold medal bearing tho seal of tho school. The students took much interest.

The winner In the shorthand department was Miss Amy Freemau. in the business department Miss May Gerdes. On April 1, at Kismet Temple, Nos-trand avenue and Herliimer street, there will be a reunion of the graduates'of tho school. Owin- loss of early records It will be impossible for the management lo reach all the graduates bv direct invitation, but they are all cordially Invited lo attend. There will be an enlerlaln-ment and dancing from 8 until 1 o'clock.

OLD HICKORY CLUB SMOKER. Tho members and friends of tha OM Hickory Club of the Eleventh Assembly District had a jolly time Saturday night at their clubhouse. J9.1 Ptunam Avenue. Tho occasion was their annual smoker and vaudeville entertainment. This is one of the Hoelal activities of tho club to whieh all thft Democrats of tho district are Invited, and the clubhouse Wd3 crowded with men who enjoyed the entertainment.

Dr. Hah; w-as never swept off his feet, but was always practical. Another of his characteristics was his magnetism. 'To become the friend of Edward Everett Hale was to take orders in the church universal," said Dr. Pierce.

These are merely some of the superficial characteristics, but Dr. Hate was first, last and oil the time preacher of the gospel. He was proud that he had escapee a divinity school education, but went through the school of journalism." Dr. Pierce read Hale's poem. "Whar Was His Name?" saying that if he had written no other poem, his name would always live, for no American anthology would be complete without this.

"It ha been lamented by many that Edward Everett Hale did not write his autobiography, but his inner biography is written in his prayers, made in the Senate while he was chaplain. These have been published In a small volume. In his last prayer in the Senate, made April 15, 1909, Dr. Hale said to this eminent, rp-speeted. august body of men.

"May you all live as God's children." In this one sentence is given ihe whole philosophy of Mr. Hale. The music was appropriate to the occasion. Arthur N. DeVore presided at the organ, and the fallowing selections were played: "Le Cygne." Saint Saens: "Traumerei." R.

Strauss; "Elegy." I. Berge; "Elegale Melody," Grieg; "Ase Death" (Peer Gyni Suitel, Grieg; fugue in flat, Bach. SA YS DEVANNEV IS FAIH.

He will begin his work in his new held as soon after a conference with the officers of the South Church as is ronveniert If all concerned. Mr. Edwards would in October next have complied five years of service with the South Congregational Church, where he has been most efficient in the work of that parish.

Before going to the South Church he served one year as the assistant of the Rev. Dr. N. MeCce Waters in the Tompkins Avenue Cfn-grcgational Church. The church to which Mr.

Edwards goes is a large one. wilh a fine property. It tins a membership of fun, and has distinguished itself for its institutional work among the hat facet ics of the Orange Valley. Mr. Edw.trds is admirably fitted for this sort of labor, as ho has much executive and organizing ability, as well as being a fine preacher and sormnnlzer.

He has preached, a number of times in the colleges and is a favorite at the noted Hill S.hool in Pennsylvania. Mr. Edwards was graduated from the Phillips Andnver Academy, Williams Col-lego and the Union Theological Seminary. He left the seminary in 1901 and was ordained soon after in the Tompkins Avenue Congregational Church, where he hod been laboring for a short time. The relations of Mr.

Edwards with Dr. Lyman and the people of the Church have been of the closest and most harmonious character, and all regret very much that he feels it his duty to accept the Hillside Chur.h pasorate. Mr. Edwards fes a prominent pi. ice in tho clerical to: of Brooklyn and in the Congregational denomination.

He was president at oue time of the State MOTHERS MEETINGS BENEFICIAL Continuation of Series at Janes M. E. Church. On Thursday, at 4:13 P. the regular mother's meeting will be held at the Janes M.

E. Church. Held avenue and Monroe street.

At tho meeting last week, the attendance was larger than at the previous one, and this week the meeeting will bo held in the large room.

The school teachers and mothers in the neighborhood are beginning to realize the worth of the lectures, and many have told at the meetings of the benefit they have been to them.

Carrie Chapman Catt, chairman of tho Woman's Suffrage Party, chaperoned by Martha Suffren, Dr. Laura Rlegelman, Miss Ida Craft, Dr. Elizabeth Cameron and a host of well-known Brooklyn and Manhattan suffragists, championed the cause of equal suffrage before a big attendance at Unity Church, Gates avenue and Irving place, last evening. Tho suffrags leader eloquently pleaded the cause of her sisters and logically argued for tho extension of the franchise in tho interest of good government. Mrs.

Catt reviewed the many appeals made to the various legislatures during the past twanty-flve years, and particularly the most recent one and lis yet vague results. "In view of the shameful disclosures of bribery and corruption at Albany," said tho speaker, "it does not seem likely that we shall receive much consideration at the hands of such men. The nation need have no fear of the so-called ignorant vote," continued Mrs. Catt, "our country's great danger is in the college and university graduate seeking political office, who steps down from among his society friends and enters the slums and resorts of the degenerate In the quest for votes so that he too may have a chance to loot and plunder the treasury as so 'many of his kind have done before him." Airs. Catt found that after twenty years of studying social problems she could not promise an immediate mltlennum when women attained the vote, but as sured her hearers that "God is on our side, but He is not In a hurry, while we are," and tnld why the enfranchisement of men had proved a disappointment though roseate things had been promised when man should be able to vote In his own Interest.

"These results." said Mrs. Catt, "have not come as promised, for 'the mills of tho gods -grind The speaker told of what the labor vole could do if they would agree on a programme, "but," said Mrs. Catt, "man is not at a point where he ca.1 think independently, and there can be no kingdom of God while we have one class of people living off the labor of the other." The pastor of ihe church, the Rev. W. M.

Brundoge, asked those present who were opposed ta equal suffrage to raise their hands. One lone woman raised her hand. Oh being Interviewed later she said her husband objected to having women vote. At the request for a standing vote on the question every person arose with the exception of the woman on the negative side of the question. Daniel Aitken.

a Mr. Mclutyre and several others Indorsed the cause of woman's light for the ballot. At this, as at all other similar gatherings. Socialism. Single Taxism, the Initiative and Referendum Btid other theories had their advocates, who offered their various principles as panaceas for all-prevailing ills.

Brooklyn Central Labor Union At-tends Conference. Delegates of the Brooklyn Central Labor Union assembled yesterday afternoon at tho Women Trades Union League on East Twenty-second street and marched to the concert hall of the Madison Square Garden, where a conference was held under the auspices of the Day of Rest Association. The Rev. Frederick Courtney, rector of St. James Episcopal Church, Manhattan, presided and presented John Mitchell of the American Federation of Labor, who said that labor was really interested not so much In Sunday closing as in (he protection of the eight hour day against Influences working to lengthen it to ten hours, and in some cases to twelve or fourteen.

Mr. Mitchell proposed as a fair bargain that the laboring men help the ministers to gain their point of a day of rest on Sunday, provided the ministers would reciprocate by doing their best for the eight-hour day during the rest of tho week. Other speakers tliOught that the best result from tho public confer ence would be to start a general religious crusade for an "eight hour day and a closed Sunday sentiment," leaving the laws to follow the sentiment as it became assertive enough to make demands in politics. Mr. Mitchell told the clergymen that he did not think the laboring men cared a great deal about the sanctity of Sunday, and would be poor followers of a crusade for a rigidly religious Sabbath.

The Rev. Warren H. Wilson of tho Presbyterian Church's Labor Department and fraternal delegae to the Brooklyn Central Labor Union, presented some figures on the extent of seven-day employment in New York State. "The excessively keen competition of industries in this state forces them to exploit the new immigrant, whose needs are also excessively keen." said he. "I lind that the employes work seven days a week in about 19,342 different industrial plants in the state, including restaurants.

290 hotels, 1,905 drug stores, 712 floral shops. 52S tobacco stores, 1.600 fruit stands. 2.000 delicatessen stores, J.376 confectionery shops, 2. BOO bakeries. 100 taxicabs and automobile companies.

"5 newspaper offices and 1.03" livery stables. "To this total we must add 32.0ofl railroad men. 2.000 pmployes of electric light plants. 4. (too employes of the telephone companies and 1.000 employes of department stores that work on Sundays.

"My conclusions are thnt we ministers of the Gospel should be agreed that worklngmen should receive a living wage for six days' work, and that where Sunday work must go on employers should be forced to substitute another day, so that every workman may have one day's in ocven." STATE SCHOOLS WEAKENED. Salaries Are Low and There Are No Pensions College Women Hesr cf Conditions. Tiip Association of Collegiate Alumnae, which is composed of graduates of thiny-oee colleges and universities, at its meet ing. Saturday listened to Mrs. Frank H.

Severance, of Buffalo, Director of the Western New York Brant h. w-lto spoke cn tho need of pensions in the state schools. Mrs. Severance pointed out that teachers in the eleven normal schools and the schools for the blind and the feeble-minded, are excluded from the Carnegie Pension and city pensiqn schemes. The result is that severm from 77 to 8.1 years old are re ceiving as a maximum of salary, airer about fifty years of service.

$1,200. Unable to save on such small salaries as they have receiveei Detore this maximum, these teachers cannot afford to resign. Younger teachers, too, refuse positions in stato schools, "because the salaries are so low, aud without pension, and many ei-flcient teachers leave to accept til colleges. Since the state institutions are unable to recruit their ranks with tlrsi-class teachers, the result of this suicidal policy-is to lower the efficiency of the teaching start, and therefore of the diplomas f.f tho graduates who supply the schools of the st.it-.
