ANTI-TYPHOID VACCINATION
United States Public Health Service
Issues Report Reproducing Favor
able Findings of French Commis
sion on New Virus.
Washington, -Oct. 9. The preva
lence of, typhoid fever in practically
every .section of the United States
has inspired the public health and
marine hospital service to press pub
licly its belief in the artificial im
munity, with certain limitations, af
forded by anti-typhoid vaccination,
already compulsory in the American
army for soldiers under 45 years of
age. ,
In a report just issued the public
health service reproduces the sum
mary of the findings of a commission
of the Academy of Medicine of Paris
which investigated the subject.
"Anti-typhoid vaccination,", the
French commission declares, does
not accomplish the complete disap
pearance of this infectious disease in
the communities where it is practic
ed, but it dimishes very notably its
frequence. Moreover, ; such of the
vaccinated who contract typhoid f ever
notwithstanding have much milder
attacks than kon-vaccinated subjects.
The percentage of deaths superven
ing among the former is one-half that
of the ndn-vaccinated typhoid pa
tients." In the judgment of the commission
the vaccination should be practiced
only upon healthy subjects, free from
all organic or other defects and from
local or general affection, on matter
what their nature, especially tuber
culosis. V : ' ' , '.. i

The McNanaras. .
" This morning . sitting in a cor
ridor just outside his cell in the
county jail, John J. McNamara, secretary-treasurer
of the International As
sociation of Bridge and Structural Iron
workers, briefly sketched what lie
termed the uneventful lives of himself
and his brother, Barnes B. McNamara
"I -was born in Cincinnati Decem
ber 23, 1876," he said, "and I amthe
oldest of six children living, although
there were ten children originally.
attended the common schools in Cin
cinnati until I was twelve years old
and then took a three-year course in a
business college. .
"Nothing of any importance hap
pened to me until the panic began in
1892,' when I turned -my hand to any
thing and everything to keep the pot
boiling, as they say . . ,
"I did my -first bridgework at Cin
cinnati in 1898, joining the union the
next year.- Between. 1898 and 190.4, I
visited various sections of .the Middle
West, following iny trade and working
on steel bridges viaducts and similar
structures.
"I have held all of the offices in lp
cal unions, particularly In those of
Cleveland, and have attended all the
conventions of the International asso;
ciation since 1902. I was elected sec
lend vice- president at the convention at
Kansas City ;Jn 4.903 and r was chosen

secretary-treasurer a-i prqnia in jlsu
I have held .thatoffice ever since?- ?; i
. "The last building I -worked on was
the Rockefeller structure in Cleveland.
I left that job to go to Toronto, and it
was held open for me if I wanted to
go back, but I didn't; as I had been
made secretary-treasurer and had my
time fully taken up with' the duties of
that office.
"The offices of the international, as
sociation were in New York when I
was first elected. Later, for senti
mental reasons, I was instrumental hi
havine them moved to Cleveland: Two
years after the offices were removed
there, another change was made to
Indianapolis, for the reason that so
many labor organizations had their ia
ternational headquarters there. ,
. "I never planned my life far ahead
The work of an ironworker prdbably
precludes such planning, for such a
man does not know-when ' he leaves
home in the morning-that he will re
turn at night It probably tends to
wards fatalism.
"I wanted to learn of the organiza
tion in. which I held office, particu
larly the legal end of it, and so I at
tended the Indianapolis College , of
Law and was admitted to practice in
1909.
"There is little else about my life
except my arrest. I am an inveterate
reader, and always' have been, of
books treating with economics and in
dustrial matters." I.
James B. McNamara, who sat quiet
ly by while his brother talked, also
was boijin Cincinnati. - His birthday
was June 2, 1882. He attended the
common?schools and then learned the
Drinter's trade, which he has followed
almost continuously ever , since, work
ing in job offices in Chicago, Cleveland,
Cincinnati and other .cities. . , ,
"Unlike Jne," said John J. McNa

pecially active in trades union affairs."
