W ipN, II Oh. H. I'D Uub w Qlte
House boon robbed? Just how it has
occurred is what everyone is trying to
find out, particularly the members OF
the Presidential family, who are the
sufferers. The affair leaked out this
afternoon through visit made to tho
health office.
"A private coupe pulled up to the door
OF the health office about IL o'clock 1t
contained Mr.. and Mrs. Russell Harri-
son. Mr.. Harrison quickly asked for
DIR. Hammett, the health officer OF the
district, and he and his wife were at
once shown into the private Office of
that gentleman. They remained
closeted with DR.. Hammet nearly an
hour.
Mr.. Harrison went to make com.
plants against the officials who had in
charge tho work of fumigating Mr. and
Mrs. Harrison's apartments at the
White House after their little daughter,
Marthena, had recovered from the scar
let fever.
AS soon rs the little girl had fully re-
covered Mr.. Harrison engaged q suite of
rooms at the Arlington Hotel, where no
is now stopping. He left the White
House in order that the health officers
might take charge of the rooms he had
occupied and thoroughly disinfect and
fumigate them and prevent contagion.
1t was understood that all the bed
clothing and carpet and sofas, rugs and
other articles in these rooms which
might take the germ of the disease
might be- burned. 1t was also under
stood that the toys belonging to Mar
thena should be destroyed.
The disinfeoting process was com
q nd fnrx
afterwards the health authorities pro-
nounced the rooms free from all danger
of spreading the disease. Mr.. Harrison
ordered that the jewelry belonging to
himself and his wife as we'll as other
articles, consisting of clocks and such
ornaments about tho room as it was
necessary only to fumigate. should be
packed and sent over to him at the Ar
lington.
Among other things were valuable
let,ors, documents and memorandum
books which were left to Mr.. Harrison
by his mother. These were supposed
to be fumigated and not destroyed. To
Mr.. Harrison's smazement he was in
formed that everything in the room had
been destroyed.
Mr.. Harrison was seen at the Airing
ton to- night. He was evidently very
indignant. 81 cannot underst and how
the health authorities could permit
set OF mon to destroy in this reckless
manner valuable articles of jewelry
and valuable documents without even
taking list of articles destroyed" said
he. Don't understand me as complain
ing of every proper precaution being
taken, but who can see the wisdom of
taking costly rings, earrings and other
articles from the dressing case and de-
stroying them when they could easily
have been saved. The papers, too,
which belonged to my mother could
have been fumigated, or, at least, we
ought to have been given the oppor-
tunity of looking them over before they
were burned When l called at the
health Office this morning none OF the
jewelry was reported as having been
destroyed. There was no record of it
there"

WILD RIOT AT A CHRISTENING.
Four May Die and Twelve Are Injured
Over n Trivial Dispute

ONcE Dl5pute.
ST. Louis, Feb. 14.-At 2632 Chou
teau avenue last night there was cele-
brated christening. About 1890 o'clock
all present became involved in a riot.
Men, women and children participated
and every conceivable weapon was
used. In few minutes the place
looked like slaughter house, the
covered with block. A wagon load of
police finally succeeded in quelling the
disturbance. Six Of those involved
were carried to the dispensary.
The trouble started because some
one wanted to take the newly christened
infant out doors. The father, Tom
O'Rourke, objected, and the row i'm
mediately ensued Four are likely to
die and twelve others are seriously cut
or sustained fractured craniums and
bruises about the face.
