The bill, Mr. Donahue said last night, would work an injustice 'to industry. Many corporation and club members arc expected to be at the conference.

Later the men will meet the Committee on Internal Affairs of the Senate. A bill for uniform traffic regulation throughout the state will be favored. The two men will oppose a bill providing for the furnishing of a $5,000 bond by every driver of a car. The two organizations also are opposed to an act that would charge auto dealers $15 for every car. Heretofore the charge has been $15 for the first set of plates, and $2 thereafter.

Dr Edwin II. Wolcott, president of the Board of Managers of Iola, and William T.

Keys, member of the board, reporting on a visit to the Perrysburg Hospital, urged consideration of the advisability of trying the treatment in connection with the operation of the $50,000 children's pavilion which the board hopes to see built at Iola the coming summer. Besides inspecting the Perrysburg Hospital, Dr. Wolcott and Mr. Keys visited the Swan street clinic in Buffalo, which controls admission to the hospital! and the East Ferry dispensary. As one result.

Dr. John U. Pryor, chief of the consulting staff of the hospital, accepted an invitation to come to Rochester and tell in detail of the method at Perrysburg, where the children play in the snow daily wearing no clothing except a cloth about the loins and sandals on their feet, with never a cold to show for it Many Children Infected. 1 The report comments, at the start, as follows: the fixation of the headlight limit at 50 feet, not more than 4 1-2 feet from the Francis M.

Within twenty-four hours after the receipt of a dispatch from the acting chairman of the lied Cross Central Committee in Washington instructing the Rochester. Chapter to open downtown headquarters the American flag was unfurled in the northwest corner of the Hotel Rochester lobby. Before an hour passed yesterday morning six beds, representing an outlay of $300, had been donated to Red Cross Base Hospital No.

10. v-v -v Before the end of the afternoon patriotic Rochesterians had given $227 more, a total of ten beds for one day, with $27 remaining for incidentals. Previously collected subscriptions amounted to $1,250, or twenty-five beds, which makes a total of thirty-five beds. Before the base hospital can move, however, five hundred beds, requiring an outlay of $25,000, will be required. Dr.

John M. Swan, director, said last night that no base hospital would be permitted to enter the field of service with less than the full complement of men' end full equipment. Further Orders Expected. Certain statements, half given and half withheld, would lead one to believe that the hospital is expecting orders to move within a week or ten days. The telegram from Washington gave orders that certainly would require more than that time to carry out completely, yet Dr.

Swan and Mrs. Stanley E. Hunting, secretary of the Rochester Chapter said the hotel headquarters probably would not be maintained longer than a week or ten days. Neither Dr. Swan nor Mrs.

Hunting would say that further orders bad been received, but there was "something in the air," as a member of the committee said, that seemed to chime in with the change in conditions since Friday. A member of the chapter who enrolled in the recent membership campaign said it was rumored that in case the three companies of militia in this city were ordered to Buffalo, the Base Hospital would be called upon to accompany them.

An offer to assist In war preparations or to be enlisted in governmental service In the event of war was received yesterday at the Chamber of Commerce from the Adelaide T. Crapsey Company, of which Paul B. Crapsey is secretary. The letter, delivered to President Harper Sibley, reads as follows: "In view of the conditions now confronting our country and the great necessity for each one to do bis or her share toward preparing for eventualities, this firm and lis employees suggest that a survey be made of this plant as to its usefulness for governmental purposes; more especially with the view of manufacturing some article of comfort for those of our state militia, who have been called upon guard our public property during this wintry period." The Crapsey company, it is explained, employs between seventy-nve and a hundred persons, and while it is a comparatively small concern and its output consists of children's frocks and kindred things, Mr. Crapsey has the idea that It might be useful In preparing' blankets for the soldiers.

Mr. Crapsey is a former regular of the AND EYEGLASSES "Beautiful to Look at as well as to Heart" WOULD you possess a phonograph whose appearance harmonizes with the most beautiful in art furnishing? We suggest the Aeolian-Vocalion, the lines of which were planned to fit gracefully with the "great creations" in furniture styles. The Vocalion has been termed the "phonograph amazing" because of its ability to deliver to the ear new and hitherto inaudible tone beauties from records. And from its ability to vary every playing of a record as an artist varies his every performance. Yet the price is no greater than other phonographs of similar grades.

Only "Tuberculosis is most commonly taken by young children from tuberculous parents, relatives or friends who kiss and caress them, or from floors, clothing or other articles which have been contaminated. It is probable that four of five children have ben infected in this war, and that one of ten has been infected from the meat or milk of tuberculous animals. "The drift of opinion of medical investigators is toward the belief that tuberculosis is essentially a disease of childhood. That all who are infected by the disease in childhood do not suffer from it in later life is due to the fact that general health has been maintained by nutritious food, fresh air, sufficient sleep, lack of work, and they have not been subjected to infectious diseases. "The Leysen method seems to have gone far back to nature in a daring way.

The child becomes a barbarian onc more, but is controlled and aided by all the agencies which have been acquired to combat the cause of invasion and its effects." Acquiring Coat of Tan. The diseased part is kept covered at first and is exposed to the sun only after the coat of tan is existent on the remainder of the body. The patient is made accustomed to open-air life, sleeping out of doors for abotit a week. Preparation for the sun bath includes protection from winds and draft thd head protected with a linen cap or small awning at the head of the bed and tho eyes shaded with colored glasses or covered with a toweL Then the patient's feet are exposed to the sun's direct rays for five or ten minutes three or four times a day at hour intervals. The second day the feet ara isolated ten minutes, and the legs from the ankles to the knees, five minutes three or four times at hour intervals.

On the third day the tanning of th- feet is given for fifteen minutes, the legs ten minutes and the thighs five minutes. The time of exposure is increased daily, as are the parts of the body exposed, until on the seventh day, when, if all conditions allow, the patient is turned face down. "Gradually the whole body and finally the diseased part is 'exposed and tanned as deeply as possible," the report goes on. "After each isolation the patient is rubbed with spirits of camphor with a rough glove. Ultimately the isolation is practiced from four to six hours a day.

Air Bath on Cloudy Bays. "The treatment is carried out on tho bed to secure control and convenience, caution being observed to prevent sunburn and other inflammation of the sKm. When the children are hardened by exposure, an air bath is given on cloud days. During the summer, well tanneti. five or six were enrolled- yesterday, bu.

The subscriptions for beds do not in A spark from the firebox under a boiler set fire to some kindling, in the boiler room attached to the Academy of the Sacred Heart in Prince street, near East avenue, early yesterday. The flames communicated with woodwork of the boiler room, and went through to the roof, burning away the greater part of it. About $o00 damage vras done before firemen extinguished the blaze.

August Van Warbeke, engineer of the convent, left the boiler room for a few moments just 'before the flames broke out. The room is of concrete and brick, one story in height, and is attached directly to the rear of the convent chapel. hen the engineer returned to the boiler room he found it in flames. He ran to Box 63 at University avenue and Prince street and turned in an alarm. Chief Atkinson and companies responded.

Not wishing to take any chances with such a threatening blaze, Chief Atkinson turned in three -s, calling Chief Little, Assistant Chief Jaynes and additional apparatus. The firemen ioon stifled the flames. Rev. Mortimer, L. Nolan, of St.

Patrick's Cathedral, was celebrating mass in the. main chapel of the convent at 7 o'clock. He noticed smoke issuing through the floor of the chapel at the left of the altar. The nuns and children attending the mass went into the convent adjoining, andNvere thus removed from danger. Firemen were compelled to go to the roof at times, and many were recipients of frost-bitten ears! Much of the tin roof had to be chopped away in order to get at the fire, and water filled the basement of the boiler room.

Great clouds of steam arose when the water extinguished the tires under the boilers. So soon as the fire was quenched the water was pumped out of the basement and the fires under the boilers were rekindled. The plant is the only source of heat for the convent.

In police court yesterday Giuseppe Manachino, 44 years of No. 3U2 Piatt street, waived examination on a charge of assault, first degree, and was held for the Grand Jury, lie was arrested last month for shooting Antonio Vella, 30 years old, of No. 340 Piatt street. The men quarreled over a loan of $21.

Giovanni Madolina and Giuseppe Vella, who claim to be bartenders, were fined $30 each for having loaded revolvers in their possession. The men live at No. 32 Jay street. John Livolski, of No. 4S6 Central avenue, failed to appear to stand trial for having a punebboard in his cigar store and his bail of $50 was forfeited.

Andrew Sturrock, 22 years old, of No. 27 Locust was paroled to report to Agent A. J. Masters for a year. He was arrested for stealing pennies from a salesbag belonging to a local newspaper.

Joseph Glasser, 24 years old, of No. 609 Tremont street, was committed to the penitentiary for ninety days for stealing 10 cents' i worth of coal from Jenkins Maey. He was given a severe sentence because of his previous record. both black and tan at higher prices. Every shoe we sell is guaranteed to be fully as good as represented.

Entire satisfaction in footwear at an economy is assured at bedding and hospital supplies. The hospital would prefer that all supplies, of any nature, would be given under the direct supervision of the Executive Committee. Financial Support Needed. The attention of ihose Americans of Rochester who have shown themselves generous in contributing to the relief of the destitute Belgians is called to the fact that, the American Red Cross, and the Rochester Base Hospital, is in urgent need, a.t this critical time, of the financ'al support of the people for whom it was organized. Hourly it is bel'eved.

the need is growing more urgent for complete equipmem Other large cities, in and other states, have given their bast hospitals their full number of beds, men and equipment. The plea sent out from Wash-Jnton. and from the headquarters of the Rochester Chapter, is for aid in obta'u-ing a means of alleviating suffering that may -come at some near time to the yonths and men of Rochester through riot or war. "It may be thought, said Dr. Swan last night, "that $25,000 is a great deal of money.

But if the time should come when five hundred sons of Rochoeter men and women were wounded and without a proper place in which to receive care, that sum, from, a ut.v of th sire and wealth of this, would seem insignificant."
