The stenographic report .of the minutes of the annual meeting of the stockholders of the 1L W. Bliss Company last week, which has been made public by Alfred M. Schaffer, attorney for the minority stock- holders in'their fight on the $4,700,- 000 profit-sharing disbursements during- ihe war period, shows that the directors asked the stokhold- ets to ratify their resolutions of 1913 ajid 19 15 for the purpose of meeting the minority's attack.- It was not until the lawsuit for an accounting and restitution had been brought against the officers and directors that the directors decided to ask' the stockholders to ratify their action in voting the profit- sharing plan. -According to. a state- ment by John M. Perry, attorney for the Bliss Company, at the annual meeting, the directors held a meet- ing a few hours before the meeting of the stockholders, and drew u p a resolution asking the stockholders to ratify the. action of 1913 and of 1915. When the stockholders' meeting opened, and while the tellers were canvassing the proxies, Mr. Schaffer started the fireworks by introducing a resolution calling on the president and the auditor of the Bliss Company to inform the stockholders "as to the full details of all payments made under the arrangement called the limited profit-sharing plan, pursuant to resolutions of the directors of Dec. 15, 1913. and Feb. 11, 1915, and in- cluding a list of the salaries of all oilicers or stockholders a t t h e time of the receipt of any of said moneys." Lawyer Perry was quick to dis- close that the directors had adopted a plan of action a s a result of their having been served with the sum- mons and complaint In the minority lawsuit. "Mr. Chairman," said Mr. Perry, "you have heard the resolution of- fered and seconded. That this ques- tion would come up in some way was apparent to us all, because we are. all familiar with the fact, I take It, that a litigation has been begun against the company wherein there are involved among other things the matters that are referred to in this resolution.

There was also submitted for rat- ification by Mr. Perry, from the di- rectors, a resolution of the executive committee of th.« board of di- rectors of Jan. 12, 1915, fixing the salary of the president of the Bliss Company, James W.

Birth Control to Avert Deterioration—Declares Situ- ation Is Serious. The survival of the unfit and the resulting deterioration of t h e race unless birth control is adopted, were stressed by Dr..Max G. Schlapp, pro- fessor of neuropathology at t h e N e w York Post-Graduate School, in his address to the sixth International Neo-Malthusian and. Birth Control Conference, . a t t h e Hotel McAlpin this morning. Dr. Schlapp declared the situation "menacing." "The result .of Our system of hav- ing t h e fit carry the burden of t h e defectives and the incapables wilt b e Nthe. o v e r w h e l m i n g of our stock, and the submergence of our culture' under the sheer numerical force of the misbegotten," said Dr. Schlapp. Ante-Natal Period Crlticjil. Dr. Schlapp...differs from many au- thorities in 'ascribing the birth of defectives and deficients rather ta nurture than to heredity, the critical time in the life of t h e individual being the nine months preceding birth. "At that time, if the mother is In good .health a n d if t h e hormonos from her glands are_ perfect, th ft baby has.an excellent chance of being normal. But if there ate en- docrine disturbances the baby may be a cretin, a Mongoloid imbecile, feeble-minded o r a moral imbecile." To illustrate his point, Dr. Schlapp told of cases of newly arrived Immi- grants who bore" normal children in their native surroundings but defec- tives on arrival in. America. "These occurrences, which are very frequent, a r e d u o t o t h e profound disturbances in the mother and the emotionalism Which often over- whelms the homesick Immigrant," he said. ,,What happens ln.this indi- vidual manner to th-eimmigrant Dr. Schlapp visioned as having happened to all civilized peoples in the coming of the industrial revolution, and in :the acceptance of the new Idea8 of democracy and human rights. "Instead of allowing the unfit to be weeded out by the stern forces of nature, modern ideas have compelled their careful preservation. Birth Control No Panacea. Dr. Schlapp does not think that birth control would b e a n efficient remedy for all. the troubles of the fit who carry the increasing burden of the unfit. But he indicated .one point at which it would b e of use. 1 Very many deficients, he said, result from the exhaustion of mothers through too frequent child bearing. "If I have committed the fault of pointing o u t a most menacing sit- uation and then been able t o d o n o more than indicate the obstacles in the w a y of. a solution, I hope I may be forgiven. Few of-us can solve the riddles w e a r e able to conjure out of life." ."':;.-.,:,:" Health Certificates for Marriage t ' .".'..• "Urged. The heed of health certificates for marriage w a s t h e theme of. Dr. Ladlsias Haskoven of Prague, who said that Iri- Czechoslovakia certifi- cates are required' for minors, but not for adults. Other speakers at the morning ses- sion included Dr. C. C. Little, presi- dent of the University of Maine; Dr. Ira S. WJle, editor of American Medi- cine, and Dr. G. de Lapoiige, repre- sentative of France. Dr. Owen Lovejoy, speaking at yesterday afternoon's session, de- clared the most important cause in bringing about child labor In Ameri- ca Is "large families, beyond the capacity of one person to support. Evory child has a right to be well born or not t o b e born at all," said the executive secretary of the Na- tional Child Labor Committee. Warns of World War Caused by Japan. The. ' menace of world wars through overpopulation was stressed by Dr. Ferdinand Goldstein, a. Ger- man delegate, who said over-popula- tion in Germany and under-popula- tion in France led Germany to the, belief that she. could conquer her neighbor. "Japan, will cause a terrible world War i n t h e future unless birth con- trol Is practised by. t h e Japanese," he said. OXYGENATOR SAVES THREEWHOHADBEEN GIVEN UP FOR DEAD New Invention to Counteract Gas is Called "Greatest Ma- chine oh Market."' Announcement of the success of a new apparatus to restore persons overcome Hugh Cuthrell, dls lieer, said tha*t, with by g a s w a s made today by'the Ktngs County Lighting Com- pany distribution engi- thls invention, the fescue squad of the company not only had saved every one show- ing signs of life b u t h a d revived three persons given u p f o r dead by ambulance, surgeons. Mr. Cuthrell characterized the invention a s b y al) odds "the best thing on the mar- ket." The apparatus is called an oxygen- ator. It consists of a tank connected by a bag and tubes with a mask to be fitted pn the patient's face. The most unusual feature about it is that along with the 95 percent of oxygen that is forced Into the lungs of t h e unconscious person there also is five percent of carbon dioxide. This acts as ah antidote for the-carbon mon- oxide poisoning which causes death. One of the specific cases of a per- son brought back from death. Cuth- rell asserted, was that of Clemen- tine Lucaulla, 65, of 446 46th St. On Dec. 23 she turned on four jets of the gas range and forgot to light them. Dr. G. Dorlldorf of. the Nor- wegian Hospital gave'her up as dead. "Using the oxygenator and prone pressure for ton minutes we then re- vived her," the engineer said, ".al- though the doctor had already signed a death certificate." . ' ,. Cuthrell prophesies :that the oxy- genator soon- will be generally adopted and that it will make size- able inroads on the enormous num- ber of gas fatalities, .During the several months in which it has been used by the Kings County Lighting Company rescue squad, which an- swers any emergency call made upon it, about 15 cases a month haS'e been treated and no person'with a sign of life has been lost. According to the claims advanced' for the new apparatus, the mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide acts as a stimulant to the respiratory nerve center, causing the patient to breathe many times the amount he normally would. This deepened res- piration greatly increases the limg ventilation, rapidly oxygenating the blood, which soon frees the system from all poison gases. The whole apparatus is carried i n a case small- er than the ordinary suitcase. Be- side It the pulmotor Is a complete failure," Cuthrell said.. -: White House Cat Meets Defeat in Squirrel Fight; Executive Pets' Bad Year Washington, March 28—It has been a bad year for White House peta.

Even with the approval of their parents, minors may marry in this State no younger than the common law age of consent—14 years for males and 12 for females, according to an official'pronouncement today by the Corporation Counsel's office, given to clear up the maze of con-' fllctlng statements that have\been Issued by public officials, publicists and welfare organizations. "Prior to adoption of the Domes- tic-Relations law," said Charles J. Druhan. assistant corporation coun- sel in charge of Brooklyn, "children could marry as young as 7, b u t t h e courts held such marriages imper- fect, subject to nullification b y t h e parents of either. The common law now sets the limit on the youth Of the .parties to marriage. A boy Of 21 and girl of 18 can marry without the consent of their parents." Recently Chief" Clerk Maher of the Brooklyn Marriage License Bu- reau stated while he had never been called upon to marry couples younger than 15, under the law, he would have to perform the cere- mony for two 4-year-old babes if brought t o t h e bureau by their parents to be married. Tho Rev. Dr. William Carter, pastor of the Throop Avenue Presbyterian Church, who assailed Maher's state- ment as "absurd nonsense," In a public address Tuesday night, today advocated the age of majority as the minimum at which marriages should be permitted under a n y b u t exceptional circumstances. "The minimum age limit for mar- riages," said Dr. Carter, "should be 18 for girls and 21 for boys. If the contention - is made that certain exigencies require earlier marriage for the girl, a special clause should be Inserted in the law fo cover such cases."

F i r e m a n William O'Neill of E n - gine Company No. 31, while work- ing on the third floor of the burning structure, fell through an airshaft and was taken to Gouverneur Hos- pital suffering from fractures of three ribs on the right side. . Rumors that tho fire was of sus- picious origin were communicated to Fire Marshal Brophy and he im- mediately began an investigation. After a fight of more than two hours the flames were under con- trol. - Joseph Mpskowitz, the janitor, it- was said, told the police that detec tlves of the Special Service. Division, entered the-building an hour or so before the fire started, searched his apartment, smelling of the contents of vinegar cruets, and went through the hallway lighting matches in Beach of supposedly hidde*i stores of liquor. ; ' . - MUSIC COMMITTEE DEMANDS MAYOR QUIT OPPOSITION Will Never Permit One-Man Control, Writes Brooklyn Chairman of Group.

The soldiers, self-confessed thieves, today face sentence, while th6 civil- ians, whom they charged with In- spiring them to- the rifling of the Quartormaftter's supplies, are back on Fishers Island, exonerated. Through a three-day trial, Pvt>». Thomas Suttle and Harry. St, John, stll) Ui uniform, stuck t o t h e main points of their story, declaring that at tho houso of Willard, Earl, War- ren and Frederick Maynard. o n t h e Island, they had always been lib-, cfally supplied with liquor. They said-that on Dec. 10 they had been urged to bring Army blankets and shirts In exchange for more whisky, and had compllod by breaking Into the Army warehouse. Attorney Harold Drescher brought the Government witnesses Into con- tradiction, however, and established a' clean slate for tho. Maynards, against whom there waa no evidence except the word of the soldiers, al- ready possessed of a had record, ac- cording to the doforise. ., The jury waa out only 20 mlnute.i. SANDS STBEET.

Dear Sir (writes' William G. Hook); Thanks to tho alert Police Departmental have been saved from being the cause of a terrible catas- trophe. When I think of it I shiver to think of it. It is something awful to think of the lives that might have beoiv lost a s a result of my care- lessness and failure to regard tho value of human life and property in my selfish desire to satisfy what might bo termed nothing more than a vulgar appetite. However, thanks. to the Police Department, that's over, and I have learned my lesson. But, just the same, to think of It makes mo shiver to think of It. • ,But In my own defense, Mr. Johnson, let It be said that I d i d not realize, the inflammablo naturo of the concrete and steel of which the Boro Hall subway station is constructed, and I did not realize the highly explosive qualities of the fancy tiles with the pretty pictures, nor of .the booths where they will givp you four nlckles f o r a quarter unless you count them before leav- ing the change booths, no mistakes being rectified afterward. . * * * So. you sco, Mr. Johnson, I WAR hot entirely to blame when the three uniformed policemen,' six plainclothes men, thrdo Inspectors, two sergeants a n d a lieutenant potinced on me a s I was walking tip out of the subway this morning with what I have nicknamed a butt The Prooklyn Navy Yard is in semi-official mourning lodsy over the death of one of Its most familiar and beloved ' characters, Max ("Pattleshlp Max") Cohn, "ship's tailor of tho Navy, who for a quar- ter of a century w?s tho proprietor of the tailoring shop opposite the Sands st. entrance of the,yard. The Navy tailor died yesterday nfter a short Illness in his home. 792 Greene ave. Many naval officers and enlisted men. headed by Admiral Plunkett, wilt. attend the funeral services tomorrow morning a t t h e home. In t h e 28 yenrs that Colin main- tained his shop he rose steadily from obscurity to winning the contracts he signed several months a g o t o furnish the uniforms for the entire enlisted personnel of the Atlantic fleet. On thr- side, he tailored for most of the iofTlcerfl In the Atlantic, fleet and for many of his personal friends among the ships' command- ers and under officers In the Pacific fleet. A year ago Cohen opened a second plant at New London, conn.. lo supply the men of the N'cw Kn X '- land yards. "Battleship Max'*" personal frlcnda In the Navy Included the late Ad" mlr'flls Ororge Dewey and "Fighting Rob" Evans a n d p long Hat of At- them Admirals Rogers, O.ilerhaus, Mayo, Wilson, Coontz, Taylor, Mc- Keon, and Plunkett. present com- mandant of the Navy . Yard. The designation of "Battleship Max'' was given him by Admiral Dewey only a tew years ^fter the Spanish War, when the hero of Manila Bay was being menaured In the Sands st. shop for a new uniform ahd became Im- pressed with Cohn's knowledge of the Nnvy'a affairs and men. "Rattle- ship Mnx" stuck to tho tailor from that Jimo on. For the last two decades. Cohn's shop has been a rendezvous for both officer* and gobs, while the tailor had complete freedom of the Navy Yard.' One of his winning qualities was the tailor's readiness to trust officers and enlisted men alike for their uniforms, and to extend credit even further If t h e sailor w a s i n need. U was his boast tha( he had never lost, n coni by his willingness to help the gobs. When Admiral Plunkett a year a»o restricted Sands st. from the saliora, he made Cohn's shop an exception from the ban. Cohn Is survived by his wife, Rose; two daughters, Charlotte and Gladys, and three soils. Morris, the oldest, who will continue his father's bus Iness, And Simon and F.mory.
