SENT TO DETENTION CAMP

order as to Dock-Situation
Not Alarming.

The health officer has been informed that
a woman who is said to have been an in
mate of the Shepherd alley house, where
smallpox was recently developed, was COM
mitted to the woTkhouse a few days ago
He is investigating the matter. The dis
ease is said to be- so far, of a mild type in
each of the cases in hospital, and no fatal
results are, therefore, anticipated. The
m;ldness of the disease, however, makes 1t
no less contagious, nor does 1t preclude
the possibility of Illness of serious char
actsr developing in persons who may have
been subjected to infection.
The health officer thinks there is no oc-
CasiOn for any general alarm on the part
of the public. as every precaution has been
taken by him to prevent a spread of the
disease. and the prevailing conditions are
much more favorable now than they were
last year to stamp 1t out. The poorer
classes We're quite generally vaccinated
during its outbreak last season and since
then.

who came from the Shepherds alley house,
to be removed to the detention camp He
Woodward and Inspector Welch was de-
tailed by the health officer to superintend
the fumigatiOn of the vans which convey
the prisoners between the station houses
and the workhouse
Judge kimhall directed that the prison.
ers convicted today be held at the cell
rooms in the Police Court building until the

cered that nothing be left undone to render
the cell rooms and the dock free from all
danger OF contamination.

all Of the inmates of the infected house in
Shepherds alley and the one on Golden
street have been removed to the detention
camp. There they will be detained until
the period of incubation, sixteen days has
passed, unless some of them should mean
time develop the disease. The health Of
fCer has not yet been able to definitely as
certain the history of the last two cases
mentioned in yesterdays Star but he is in
VeSugatng the matter, and may later be
able to learn how and when the disease
was contracted by the two afflicted negroes
Fred. Young and Julia Briscoe. The houses

CONDITION SERIOUS,
Mrs. Reeves Injured by Stone Thrown
Through Window.

Mrs. Rosa Reeves, aged thrty-four years,
is quite i'll at her home on K street between
49, and 9th streets southwest, the effect, it
is alleged, of being struck in the head with
stone last evening by some one as vet
unknown.
James E. Reeves, husband of the lady
named, was arrested in the night on a
charge of disorderly conduct and today
Judge KimbaH fined him $50. with the al
tentative Of sixty days in the workhouse in
default. Growing out of the statements
made at the hearing. Reeves was also
tried on the charge of making threats
ag 1st his mother-in-law, Mrs. Elizabeth
Phelps, and her son, j. w. Phelps, and
Judge Kimball required the defendant to
give a real estate bond of 500 to keep the
peace or be imprisoned for sixty days.
The evidence as given by the witnesses
Tor the government was that Reeves, who
is fourteen years older than his wife, re-
turned home about pm. In an intoxi-
Gated condition. Mrs. Reeves, who is en-
ployed in private family during the day,
was in bed when her husband arrived. The
latter went TO her room, and, according to
the statement Of Mrs. Phelps and her son,
threatened to throw his wife and one of
her brothers out Of the window He did
not, however take any means to carry his
threats into execution, and shortly after
ward left the house.
In a few minutes a large stone was
hurled through a window of the house
from the street, and the missile struck
Mrs. Reeves IN the head. inflicting a wound
which the physician, who was called in,
said was very near to producing concus-
sion of the brain.
The relatives of Mrs. Reeves wanted to
lodge a charge of assault against her hus-
band, but the wife refused TO do so.
Reeves claims TO know nothing about the
assault, and said If he knew who had
thrown il, he would make it hot for the
guilty party.

INCREASE ASKED FOR.

Recommend datfon for Surveyors Of.
fee and Lovejoy School.
Upon the recommendation Of Captain
Beach, the District Engineer Commits
sioner, the Commissioners will include in
their estimates, in connection with the
urgent deficiency bill, an item Of $4,000 for
the expenses of the surveyors office Of the
District, and also one Of $1,000 to be added
TO the appropriation Of $4,000 for the
construction of the Lovejoy public school
building.
In making these recommendations Capt,
Beach explained to his associate that the
work Of the surveyors office has been such
that 1t was utterly impossible to carry it
on with the force which could be carried
for the entire year under the appropriation
made for 1t. The force has been practical
ly doubled, with the result that if the
amount asked for by Captain Beach Is not
provided, SO he states, 1t will be necessary
to stop the work being done by the extra
force. The effect Of such a step upon the
real estate and building interests of the
District, he points out, can be easily SEEN
Congress, at Its last session appropriated
the sum of $4,000 for constructing the
Lovejoy building, which amount was found
by the commissioners to be insufficient to
permit Of the erection of the school, owing
as has been heretofore stated in The Star
to the advance in the price of building ma
terias, which occurred about the time the
appropriation was made. The present
building is believed by the Commissioners
to be in such condition that it should be-
replaced at the earliest possible date to
avoid danger to its occupants Owing to
the fact that the Commissioners are pre-
vented by law from making any contract
for the building except for a Completely
finished structure, anu as the size of the
structure is prescribed by law, the Com
missfoners found 1t impossible to erect the
eight-room school building called for, or a
smaller one, with the amount appropriated
The additional amount asked for, sc, 900,
Captain Beach states, will be necessary to
construct such building as is required by
the law.
