Letter iells Commissioners ofAdirondack Purchase.

A:cany, Aug. 27.— Commissioners Roajei P.;Clerk \u25a0ad H. Lrroy Austin, who are con-j':'""'- an investigation into the state's

\u25a0 Adirondack land \u25a0. -.--a <, . by direction of

|Governor Hoghaa to-day received a letter|from Timothy 1.,. Woodruff, chairman ofj the Reoublican :-•..:. Committee, explain-j int? how \u25a0\u25a0'\u25a0\u25a0- securetl tit!« to Kara;. Kill; iCare. in the Adirondack?, when he wasj presid«=n; of the Forest Preserve Board, in\ m:. The letter says:

\u25a0 Gentiemea: The New York papers quitej generally -a that your commission hasI securing information as to how Ise-

ared title to in-, property in the Adiron-;oacks. known as Karap Kill Kare. Thestatements assert thai [pur :as- for my-pelf 1.030 acres for $12,000 and that the stateacquire! all the surrounding land at a costof 5167.000.

FaUure to state the number of acreswhich the state got for this $l«rr.i«m mayImply almost any relation between what I

;paid and what the state paid per acre.The facts are. as the records which you

j nave been examining will show, that thispurchase made by me for the Rtate amount-;cd to about S.«M acres, which was $6 per:«.cre. allowing nothing for the great value•of several miles of th« shore front of< Kacquette I^ak<». Ipaid Jl- per acre for myIproperty, and. therefore, twice as much perj acre a* the state, and it was of less intrln-:IK value.; But the all-important point is that Mr.i \\. W. Diirar.t, from whom Ipurchased.| would not consider any price whatever• from the state, as the lake would becomeI thereby public property and injure thej value or two adjacent preserves, on whichjhe had erected very costly buildings. Ionlyacquired it when Mr. Durant publicly of-

! fered it for sale to any desirable private• purchaser.j Ipaid for my preserve the highest pricej that Ihad known up to that time •• have.I j*-nj *-n paid for unimproved wild Adirondack| lands. The property was twenty-sevenimiles from the nearest railroad station and:could only be reached by boats and trails,mo wagon road having been built to it. Ij bought it largely for the purpose of fur-!nishing me a base of operations for th"

work of the Forest Preserve Board, of; which Iwas for five and one-half years

•"•\u25a0"•"\u25a0 ius purchase the president. The fact;that a man who desired to acquire a halfi \u25a0\u25a0-•"' iproperty with me refused tojdo so at the price which Ipaid, insistingItrsat it was not worth more than half thejmoney, together with the facts Ihave statediconcerning the relative prices paid by me:and by t!ie state, should satisfy you andjany on« else with regard to its value at theItime Ipurchased it.| A •'\u25a0\u25a0 or two subsequent to my pur-;"'-a '-IboucM for the state a tract stretch-ing from the southerly boundary of myproperty a distance of nearly five miles andembracing through it.; entire length the out-

;let of my lake for %4"

per acre for whichIwould have willingly paid much more tocomplete my preserve could Ihave pur-chased it for myself without violating theobligation Iwas under to acquire all thedesirable property Icould for the state.

The new sriar>ers> say you have decided tohold no public earing in connection withthis matter but wEI

—ply make a state-

ment concerning it 5n your report to Gov-ernor Hughes. You will,of course, asrreew-ltb me that the above mentioned factsshould be embodied in your report to theGovernor.Ieg to reman yours, very respectfully,

TIMOTHY T.. WOODRUJFF.The commissioners. In making public the

letter, -said:"The real facts concerning Mr. Wood- ;

HURT IN EXCURSION FIGHT

The National Railways of Mexico, it waslearned yesterday, baa acquired the Tan-| Amerif-ar. Railroad and the Vera Crux &Isthmus Railroad. The former was con-troiled by Paul Morton, president of the

IEquitable Life Assurance Society, and theI foi-mer United States Ambassador, DavidIE. Thompson, and their associates 1. TheVera Cruz road was owned by the Mexicangovernment.

The terms upon which th" two roadswere taken over could not be learned yes-terday, but it is understood that an officialannouncement, giving full details of thetransaction, will be made within a day ortwo. Paul Morton, when ?een at his offices

;In the Equitable Building, at No. 120jBroadway, yesterday, would neither affirmnor deny the report, saying that he hadbeen in Europe, for three months and hadenly just returned. If there had been anynegotiations for the transfer of the road tothe National Railways Company. Mr.Mor-ton said, they had been conducted by Mr.Thompson, and any Information in thematter would have to come from htm. Mr.Thompson Is at present in Mexico.

Pan-American About Done.The Pan-American Railroad was an un-

dertaking- started by D. P. Doak and J. N.Neeland in 1981. They projected the linefrom San Geronimo. Mexico,on the Tehuan-tepec National Railroad, southeasterly tothe Guatemalan border, a distance of aboutthree hundred miles, with connections tothe city of Guatemala. A large part of theroad is already completed and in operation.

Control of the property was purchased ayear ago by Messrs. Thompson and Mor-ton. The road's authorized capital stock is$10,000,080, ail of which is issued. Its bondeddebt consists of $2,400,000 first a-old Be and5C.000.000 general mortgage bonds. The Pan-American Company, a holding company. In-corporated in September. 1909, owned$9.60(1,000 of the railroad company's stockand $3,600,000 of its general mortgage bonds.The remaining $2,400,000 of general mort-gage bonds are reserved to retire the out-standing first mortgage bond.=. The officersof the road are: David E. Thompson, presi-dent; Paul Morton, vice-president; E. M."Wise, general manager, and E. B. Laraz<',secretary and treasurer.

The era. Cruz &r Isthmus Railroad, for-merly known as the Vera.

All of «ho $1,000,000 cap-ita! stock of the Vera Cruz <& Isthmus Rail-road was owned by the Mexican govern-ment, which also guaranteed the road'sbonds.

Other One Acquired Is Vera Cruzand Isthmus, Owned by the

Government.

Adds Five Hundred Miles to System.The acquisition of these two railroads

by the National Railways of Mexico, whichis controlled through stock ownership bythe Metrical government, will increase themileage of the latter pystem to the extentof bout five hundred miles, and will stillfurther increase, the hold of the govern-ment on the railroad situation in Mexicoand will si c; afford the government systeman out.'ef; into Guatemala.

The National Railways of Mexico wasincorporated In Mexico City in March,ifos. pursuant to a decree of the Mexicangovernment, to take over an.] unite theproperties of the National Railroad Corn-pa v of Mexico and the Mexican CentralRailway Company; Limited, with power toacquire, construct and operate other linesof railroad.

BULLETS FLY IN THIEF CHASE

Daughter, Who Was Also Wounded, at

Bedside—

Held for Coroner.Frank J. Allgaier. a saloonkeeper of No.

114 Wyckoff avenue, Williamsburg. die.i inthe German Hospital yesterday from bul-let wounds Inflicted by his seventeen-year-old son. Frank Allgaier, jr.. on Fridaynight. The father had driven the boy fromhome, it is alleged, and the son had re-turned, bent on vengeance. At the manbedside when he died was his fourteen-year-old daughter. who was slightlywounded when she ran between the fatherand son. She had been taken to the hos-pital along with her father.

When it was seen that Allgaler couldnot live the daughter was called from herroom, next to her father's. She had beenwith him only a few minutes when he died.The child became hysterical and was car-ried back to her room, where she was at-

tended by one of the doctor.*.About the same time the son was being

arraigned before Magistrate Higginbothamin the Manhattan avenue court, chargedwith felonious assault. As he faced thecourt he grinned, and this aroused the an-ger of the magistrate. He reminded theprisoner that there might yet be a moreserious charge against him.

While the magistrate was reading thecharge news of the father's death reachedhim. The court ordered the prisoner backinto the cell to await the complaint ofhomicide, which was drawn immediately.As Ii" was led away the youth burst intotears. He was rearraigned and held forthe Coroner without bail.

Rescue Society Obtains ChinesePlayhouse inDoyers Street.

Instead of the oldtime flaring Hgns whichwere wont to attract the thousands ofsightseers in Chinatown by their announce-ment of Oriental entertainment within at

the old Chinese Theatre, in Dover? street,

a laree white sign now proclaims the factthat the Rescue Society of New York willopen a midnight mission in the buildingat 10 p. m. on Thursday, September 1.

The Chinese Theatre was compelled to

close its doors on account of its situation sonear th» dead line between the territory ofthe Four Brothers and the On L^ong ton?

that each was afraid to attend for fearthat the other would do some shootingthrough the windows.

The midnight mission formerly occupied

the building at No. 17 Doyers street, hutwas burned out there last May and movedtemporarily to the Mariners' Temple, inChatham Square. Thomas Xoonan, super-intendent of the society, who obtained thelease of the old theatre, is going to turnt"ie large basement into a. playroom for hisboys' club and a. :-e-a,in room for Mr?.Noonan*s srirls" sewintr club. Men arc al-ready at work clearing and cleaning upth* place.

Although the sitrns that •"•ere on the out-

side of th* theatre have been removed, thefrieze of Chines** lakes, towers, beasts andrivers dotted with little boat;- and crossedby quaint Oriental brideep. will remain.This frieze, which encircles the entire room,was painted by Chin Yin, of No. 3 Doyersstreet, for the sum of $35. and is consid-ered by the society as an attractive decora-tion for th« walla of th« mission.

MAN SHOT BY HIS SON DIES

RIDE PLANNED FOR MAYORMay Leave Hospital for Auto

Trip To-day—

In Fine Spirits., ;Mayor Gaynor passed a restful day yes-terday, and there is just a possibility that

»he may go out for Rn automobile ride to-

!day. Nothing definite has been decide*however, according to his secretary. RobertiAdamson. Mr. Adamson slept at home onIFriday night for the first time since the!Mayor was shot down by James J. Gal-lagher on August 9. Mr. Adamson spentIthe greater part of the day yesterday InNew York. He visited the Mayor in the

Iafternoon and returned to the city with\u25a0 William F. Meloney. the Mayor's execu-tive secretary, and Lieutenant William\ Kennel, who is in charge of the Mayor'sIoffice..

Father York, pastor of St. Patrick'sChurch, Huntlngton, Long Island, visited

the Mayor at St. Mary's Hospital. Ilobo-

ken. yesterday. The two old friends had a;pleasant chat. Father York brought a|message from August Hcckscher, of Hunt-

jington, the owner of a 200-foot yacht, who;placed his craft at the disposal of Mayor

|Gaynor if he wished to take a yachting'trip during his convalescence. Several

!other yacht? have been thus offered, butjit is not regarded as likely that MayorGaynor will take advantage of these offers.

The Mayor spent the greater part of theimorning reading a magazine. He appeared!in good spirits and enjoyed walking aboutj the room at times, although he finds the

|room somewhat small for his favorite ex-

ercise. He had some fun with his maleIattendant, Luke Clark, whom he has'dubbed "John the Baptist." Luke has

\ been out of the hospital only a couple ofj times since the Mayor was brought thereas a patient. On the first occasion he

'. walked right through the knot of news-

Ipaper men assembled in front of the hos-p

ital and none recognized him. Yesterday,jhowever, his namesake. Peter Clark, in-!vited him to come out for an automobile:ride. Peter, besides being an alderman, Is;a blacksmith. "When his shop was reachedhe went inside.

A newspaper photographer appeared at!that moment and got a picture of Luke.

ISome one started the story that Peter Clarkjhad been paid $50 to get Luke out «o that|he could be photographed. Luke was In-:dignant when this was mentioned to him.

"Is that what you call friendship!" he!exclaimed. "There will be a 'massacroslty'

'If Pete does not divide that money with\u25a0 me.

"

vvhile no definite plan? for the Mayor's

removal from th*» hospital have been madeas yet. ]t was intimated yesterday that hewould pr^banly leava Hoboken for good b;Wednesday or Thursday next.

THEATRE NOW A MISSION

May>r Gaynor was told of Luke s ad-

venture and of the supposed reward, andhe enjoyed twitting Luke about his ?hareof the money.

"In experimentation undertaken severalyeurs ago it was proved that the boose rtywas the direct agent in transmitting thebacillus of green pus, of typhoid fever andthe colon bacillus. The foot of the housefly consists of many small suction disks.A fly which ha^ hud access to the room ofa typhoid patient and then naak food in.i boring kitchen, will carry, hundredsof germs on lis fert. and deposit then onthe lip of the first bottle of milk It sip*from. While intrinsically fermented milk lanot so good ,i culture media for g^rnis asfre.sh milk, through much huncHlng In prep-aration It might even come to harbor germsclio ' product* produce ptomaine poison-

ing, which may mean acute agony andsudden death,"

Speaking of the teneiicia! action of but-

termilk on the walls of our arteries, Dr.Manning said that it must be rememberedthat the arteries will not b*> kept young

and the system at its highest vigor by animpure and germ laden product an- morethan health could be ssutained by eating

flesh foods impregnated with ptomaines.

The Bulgarian Butter Bug.

"One of th«* most interesting circum-stances connected with the fermenting ofmilk," said Dr. Manning, "is the bringing

into this country by natives of Bulgaria

of the actual butter bug -that is about thebest and most comprehensive term to de-

scribe It. Its growth is the same in prin-ciple as the yeast plant, which is sold in theresting stage in the form of compressedyeast, and it looks not unlike boiled tapioca.

This living, moving mass has been pre-sf-rved and sent down from generation togeneration for many hundred years. Thepower of reproduction is marvellous. Oneinch of this culture placed In the bottom ofa quart milk Jar and covered with milk tothe extent of half a pint will within twen-ty-four hours form a fluid that can bepoured off and used as an agent Itself forthe production oi more fermented milk.The original mass of bacilli is washed offwith cold water in an ordinary sieve, andthen for preservation and further reproduc-

tion placed in a Jar and covered with threeor four inches oi new milk. Tin-- i.s theBulgarian method which has been carriedon so far In the past that there is norecord of its origin: but it must be remem-bered that Bulgarians in their own country

exercise the greatest care in this process of

fermentation. The culture is used only ina darkened stone room to which no dustIs admitted and which corresponds in itsIgeneral principle* to a modern laboratory.

••It will require very little thought onthe part of the layniun who has made anystudy of the serious menace of the commonhouse fly !•> *cc the peril of the manufact-ure of fermented milk in the tenementkitchen.

;discussed by Dr. Jacolyn Manning, a well

known bacteriologist, at her home. No. 7

"West 92d street, yesterday. "We are but-

termilk craiy." said Dr. Mannlne, \u25a0 whileshe admitted the benefit of fermented milk.

"Americans are prone to take up new i

things, employ them to enthusiastic ex-

travagance and then abandon them and-denly. This national characteristic, which

has been carefully studied, has been taken |advantage of by shrewd traders," she con- jtinued. ,

"The harassed kidney' of the twentiethcentury. Joggled from its moorings by the jIvibrations of rapid transit, its delicate ex-

cretory cells insulted by dally doses of de- jbris from the most exciting food and

crowded in its work of elimination by asluggish digestion and a torpid liver, is

cleansed, soothed and fed by the mIM acid- !lty, bland action and highly nutritious \u25a0

ivalue of fermented milk. But—we are but-

termilk crazy!' "The authentic announcement that fer-

jmented milk retarded the hardening^ of theiarteries and postponed senility was *o!'

!lowed by a sudden manufacture under vari-

ous names in large quantities. Most of thisproduct is good, though the prices charged

are so exorbitant and so beyond ordinary

means that what promised to be a blessing

has teen turned into a menace. Ten cents

Ifor a little more than two gills is the price

Iof or.« bottled preparation, and 15 cents for

Ithe same quantity of another which bears

a different label, but in all probability is

of no greater efficiency. As a result of

these prices, which yield a profit of from-00 to 300 per cent, hundreds of families Inevery city in the country have undertakento prepare their own fermented milk by

using the inactive but livinggerm, sold in

jtablet form by druggists generally."

Danger in Kitchen Laboratory.

It is in the household manufacture of

fermented milks that Dr. Manning Fees thegreatest dangers. Her work as an investi-gator shortly after her graduation from the

Northwestern University, Evan6ton and

Chicago, followed by nor writings In "TheJournal of the American Medical Associa-tion" on "The Transmission of Pathogenic

Germs by the Common House Fly." has

!stamped her as an authority on the subject

of the transmission of germs. With regard

to the buttermilk tablet she said:"It contains what is technically known a3

a 'pure culture' of the germ, and that

means the germ alon«>, and no other. ispresent m the tablet. The preliminary

preparation for the fermenting of freshmilk in the laboratory would be to have asurgically clean mortar ami pestle, In

which the tablet was reduced to powder.

There would be no open windows through

which flies or dust could enter. The tem-perature, would be equable and the rand- ofthe person who handled the grinding stonewould have been previously sterilized withan aseptic solution. After the powderedtablet was placed in the milk, contained ina shallow vat previously sterilized, the con-tents would be protected with a sterilizedcovpr. No dust and no utrooepherir: germs

could exist within the laboratory walls.

The process of fermentation would con-

rtinue for twenty-four hours, and the. re-sultant product placed in the proper tern- iperature and then not t In a teriHzed ;jar for final consumption. That is the lab-oratory way."

The kit-hen laboratory is a. vastly dif-ferent thing. according to Dr. Manning,

who added :"Now, when we turn a kitchen into a

laboratory, the conditions are diametrical-ly opposite; and thig is particularly trueof the lower East Side in New York City,

where fermented milk is mad? by hundredsof gallons. Fancy a tenement with no in-

dow screens, where flies swarm in ard outday and ni^ht, where damp clothing isdried on lin-s strung from wall to wall,

\u25a0 ere putrefying ftaroagp is kept in a t*npail or porous wooden bucket, "her" theweekly or semi-weekly wash is carried onrr-kjardless of the relea.se of bacterial life,

from the clothing, where clouds of dustladen with the germ? of tuberculosis and.it may he. spinal paralysis are carried Inthrough the open windows; where the ket-tles and bottles -iiid pans in which the milk

Is placed for fermentation -are washed inwater that has not been distilled or steril-ized, w hero the dishrag is greasy andwhere the very milk itself lias hern dippedout of an unclean tin can that, according

to tli« milk inspector's reports, showed thepresence of ten million bacteria within acertain measurement as against the nor-mal quantity, .which should be five hun-

dred thousand— and then you may formsome faint idea of the dangers of prepar-ing fermented milk in the kitchen of thetenement."
