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.

" 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.

"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.
