we want more than 5000 and it will be an
easy matter II get that many. do not
want to employ anyone but Pennsylvania
men, and would like to get as many JOINS.
town people at work as Dc sible. They are
the ones that need the work.
"a fslse impression has gotten out to the
effect that the borOughs here are under
martial law. This is a mistake. The
State hsl ch1Tge OF the work, and the only
thing the military is doing lie guarding the
property. We will clear away all the de.
bris on the streets and level the town off.
l do not know yet whether we will clear
out the Cellars of the houses, but il I had
my own way 1 would do it, 1t is as little
as the STATE can do to clear out their places
and give the people clean foundatioL TO
build on. Besides there is not the least
doubt but that there are a number of
bodies in these cellars, and they should be
taken out"
DOWN TO A SYSTEM.
Gen. Hastings has now gotten every
thing down to system. There will be
but one morgue and hospital and one
headquarters. Everything hrs been CEN
tralized, and it is easy to get at the factI
Capt. Seers, of the U. s. A., one of the
Corps of Engineers at Willetts Point, and
Capt. Burbank, of the West Point Engi.
Dering Corps, have laid out the different
hOrnngha in five districts, and con- petent
men have been appointed to take charge
of each district. Capt. Seers, in an inter
view to-day, said:
II am only here II advise Gen. Hastings
and do what l can to help him. 1 think
that inside of two weeks the 5000 or 4, ,OOO
men who will be at work will succeed in
putting the town in very good shape, and
l think that inside of q month Johnstown
will have almost recovered from this ter
rible shock"
TROUBLE AMONG THE DOCTORS.
There is a fight between DIR. Matthews,
of the State Board of Health, and Kate @.
Bushnell, NJ. D., of Illinois, who is here.
Miss Bushnell claims that she has been
appointed to supervise the sanitation Of
homes by the State Board of Health, and
this Dr. Matthews denies
This morning Miss Bushnell issued a
circular to the women of Johnst 1wn, rs-
questing them to meet at the headquarters
of the Ohildren's Aid Society, at the cor
ner of Main and Jackson strClts, at 1920
a. m. to-day. to devise means of putting
the homes of JOhns' OWN in good sanitary
condition. In note at the bottom of the
circular she states that the work will be
done by friends from a distance in co-ope-
ration with the State Board of Health.
When DR.. Matthews saw the circular he
was considerably agitsted, and stated that
Miss Bushnell had no authority to call such
a Meeting.
As a result of the circular issued by DR..
Kate O. Bushnell, about % women, resi-
dents of JobustOwD, met the Doctor and
her corps of assistants at the Aid Society's
headquarters. DR.. Bushnell detailed one
woman of her corps and about three of the
to each district of their own Sc
lection, and the resident women will re-
port to the cords the condition of their dis
trict A cali will then be made for wo-
men, with brushes and water, to render
the now standing houses fit for habitation.
