It also made it impossible for forged tickets to be redeemed. Todav no trouble was experienced at the field. The crowd was orderly from the moment the offices were thrown open and remained so the entire day. The police saw to it that none of the lines became too long, and by a process of shifting applicants kept them all about the same length.

It was Impossible to ascertain how much money was returned today, tie-cause accounts will not be made up until tonight. It was estimated, however, that 3.000 applicants called at the windows during the morning and received about Most of those who received money today were holders of seats, although oulte a num President'sSupportersWill Celebrate on October 28.

MIGHT NOT ME NF.CF.SSABY. But Injection of Germs Is Reported to Have Brought t.ood Results, announcement from Buitlmore at Dr. Horace T. Burrows, patholo-st of Johns Hopkins Hospital, has scovered what seems to be an ef-ient vaccine against infantile paraly sis, created considerable interest here today among the physician! who have oeen experimenting along similar lines. expe hav that of the tors through the mourn aim mat the seat of infection is in the large intestine, according to the announcement.

In those attributes the disease is shown to bo similar tt, typhoid, and. as in typhoid, the method of prevention should be to take care that children eat no raw food capable of bearing the germs during the time that the disease is prevalent. The supposed danger from personal contact with other infected children is minimized by the results of these experiments. The method of immunization fol lowed at Johns Hopkins has also been similar to the vaccinations for typhoid. Germs have been grown in an Incubator, killed, and then injected into animals in three successive doses.

Animals treated in this manner have been found to be Immune from infection, and it is supposed that humans similarly treated will also be safe. Dr. William Park, director of the Research Laboratory of the Department of Health, in commenting on the report today, said that it was already known here that persons can be immunized; but that the question of the feasibility of vaccinating everyone against a disease that only three or four in a thousand are susceptible to is a significant one. "Do 1,000 children want to be vaccinated against a disease that will endanger only three or four?" he asked. The fact that the length of time tho immunization will last Is also unknown.

Dr. Bark said, should prevent too hasty an acceptance of the vaccination remedy as final. He said that both dead and living germs had been used In the experiments performed here and that though the dead germs were effective, the living ones were more so. Monkeys had been immunized completely so that oven when they were innoculated with germs directly they would not tako the disease. "We may vaccinate several hundred people and watch for results; and maybe they will all be people who would not have the disease, anyway." he concluded In explaining the difficulty of arriving at positive results in the tests.

No more complete accounts of the Johns Hopkins experiments than those received by the press have arrived In New Y'ork, so far as could be learned. CARUSO HAS A MUSTACHE Tenor Raised It Abroad-Lafay-ette Brings Notables. The French liner Lafayette from Bordeaux arrived this morning with many notables on board. Among them was Enrico Caruso, whose ap pearance was somewhat altered by the growth of a large black mustache. Other persons connected with the Metropolitan Opera Company on hoard were Gatti Casazza, the general manager; Giorgio Pollacco, the Italian conductor, and Guiscppe De Luca.

The greater population and wealth of France and her allies, the amount of munition manufacture's and the unlimited supply of material Mr. Mc-Clure gave as his reasons for this opinion. Others on board were Frank A. Munsey. Stephane Lausanne, editor of the Paris Matin, and Mr.

PARK. SECRETARY-SLEUTH To Keep Tabs on Refractory Members of Municipal Court Here. SAYS HE I.i DECEIVED NOW. Budget Sub-t omniiiicc Agrees to Request, r.iit cuts Departmetts Appropriation. An exceedingly frank statement concerning the working of the Municipal Court, coupled with the assertion that he had been "woefully deceived" by stenographers and others and that he had no one in whom he could trust when be tried to get at the bottom of things, was made today by Justice Aaron J.

Levy before the sub-budget committee in connection with the request for a private secretary whom the Justice Intended to employ as a sort of Sherlock Justice Levy asked an appropriation for 1917 of J1I99.880, and then explained his need of a private secretary as follows: "One Judge was notified to take another assignment In his off period, lie did not respond. We were told that he was ill. I do not intend following up judges myself. But tho fact is that stenographers have woefully deceived me. "I have no one In whom I can repose a trust to go out and examino these facts for me and report back truthfully.

If I take an attendant off the civil service, who occupies perhaps the same position, and that man goes out to investigate, there Is natural sympathy, and he does not come back and tell me the truth, and I know he does not, even though I do not actually know it, as a matter of evidence. "Now a private Justice Levy continued, "can do these things and do even more Important things. 1 want certain data for the purpose of reporting to the Controller. The Controller has been after me for some time to give him certain statistics. I sent out to the clerks to get the statistics.

They sent tne a garbled report, unintelligent and incomplete In every way. Vhut can I do? If I can take this secretary and send him over into the force ami closely observe and dig into these records for himself, he can come back and give mo the facts." After comparing the work of the Magistrates Courts with that of the Municipal Courts, Chairman Mclntyre "Do the majority of the Municipal Court Justices sit longer hours than do the magistrates?" "Absolutely," Justice Levy replied. "There is often a Court and a Municipal Court in the same building 1 don't remember the day when 1 have left the Municipal Court and have passed the Magistral Court that I have not found It to bo absolutely empty." Justice Levy will get his private secretary, the committee deriding that under these circumstances he really needed one for the good of the city. His pay will be $1,800 a year. The Judge's request for an extri nies-enuer and a typewriter however, was denied.

The appropriation desired by the Board of Munieipal Court Justices was cut down to tho same figure as its allowance for I OH. BERMUDIAN IS DISGUISED Coast Ship, Here, Repainted, to Avoid Detection.

A staff of clerks began to make payments at in o'clock, and from then until mid-afternoon there were three lines before the center windows in the rotunda at Ebbets Field waiting for cash. Two policemen were on hand, and as each applicant received his money he was asked to leave the rotunda so that It could be kept clear. Colonel Ebbets did not intrust the task of refunding the monev to the usual box-office operators.
