| Eleven new cases of smallpox were re-
ported to the Health Department yester-
day. In the morning the police were noti-
fed that child. with face and body broken
| out with a suspicious rash, had been found
| on the steps of vacant house at 921 Hines
| Alley northwest. a short street between
| First and Second Streets. running from
| l to X Street
Upon investigating the matter the Health
Department learned that the child in ques
ton was Leman Stott, eolored, the four
year-old son Of Samuel Stott, residing at
SO Logan's Alley. 1t is stated that, after
| quarrel with his wife, Stott took the
| child away from home and left it on the
steps of the vacant house in Hines Alley.
The child was removed to the smallpox
hospital. and the father and mother hunted
up and taken to the detention camp. while
| the house in Losan's Alley was put under
quarantine.
A little later In the day a hurry call was
received at the Health Department to look
into some suspicious cases of illness at 81
H Street southeast. Upon investigation it
was learned that five persons in the Brown
family residing there, colored people. were
suffering from smallpox. They were Mabel,
seventeen years old; Beatrice, ten years
old; Louise, aged seven; Hortense. four
years old, and Perty. boy, aged twelve.
These were oil removed to the smallpox
hospital and the mother Sarah Brown who
has had the smallpox, was allowed to 60
with them to assist in caring for the chill
dren. The remaining inmates of the house,
five IN number, were taken to the deten-
ton camp.
In the afternoon the health officials were
called upon to investigate cases reported
from 260S X Street northwest. Here were
found five persons suffering with smallpox.
They were James Green, twenty-five years
old; Henry Berkeley. aged twenty; William
Reynolds. five years old; Albert Reynolds
three, and Raymond Reynolds, twenty-six
years old. These were all taken to the
smallpox hospital. and the house placed in
quarantine with its remaining inmates
three in number.
1t is supposed that the Brown family
contracted the disease from some one of
the patients recently removed from the
Southwest section of the city. The health
officers were unable to ascertain how the
Stott child contracted the disease
James Green was a boarder in the Rey-
nolds family and was employed two weeks
ago near Falls Church by an electric rail-
road company. 1t is supposed that he was
exposed to the disease in Virginia and
communicated it through his clothing to
the people in the house.
The Health Department is little
alarmed at the continued importation Of
smallpox from neighboring States. 1t
seems to be practically epidemic among
the population of certain towns in Vir-
ginia, and is brought to Washington by
nj wi n
seeking work. 1t is likely that the aid OF
the Marine Hospital Service will be invoked
to assist the District authorities in sup
pressing the disease.

came. Thinking he was going home, they
let him pass, but he made a detour and
started for the breaker.
Failing to head him of. they commenced
firing. He replied with his own revolver,
firing two shots. The strikers were gain

been guarding the breaker rushed to his
assistance. They were armed with rifles
and shotguns and fired a volley. The
strikers were advancing up slope and the
watchmen fired above the heads of the
crowd. The volley and determined stand
of the watchmen checked the rush and
Holloran reached the ranks of the COM
pany men. The strikers quickly scattered
and tried to get around behind the watch

to keep them in check, retreated slowly,
while the strikers continued firing with
their revolvers. They were Just beyond

watchmen were hit. After few minutes
the strikers drew off, carrying two of
their men who had been hit.
The strikers spent the day in the woods
after the shooting. The watchmen at the
breaker reloaded their guns and the force
was doubled in anticipation of an attack,
but none was made.

AN ALL DAY PICNIC
Pennsylvania Association Members
Enjoy Pleasant Time,

The Pennsylvania association held an
all day picnic in Riverside park yesterday.
The event was the annual affair of the
association and was largely attended by
the members and their friends. The as
ISOLATION has large membership in the
city and vicinity and the day was de-
nghtfully spent in renewing old acquaint-
ances.
A picnic dinner of large proportions was
one of the pleasing features of the day
and after that event. several of the mem
bers made addresses during the afternoon
The speakers made no reference to politi-
cal things and each sentence was filed
with good thought and well wishes for
each present person. Those who spoke
were DR.. Fleming, I. P. Campbell, Judge
Balderston, Judge Sankey, John Davis,
and others. Rev. Bruce Griffith as presi-
dent, had charge of the festivities.
The Pennsylvania association has only
been organized a short time, but dur
ing that period many interesting gather
ings Of the members have been held, but
none Were more pleasant than the affair
of yesterday.
A communication from Chester I. Long
was read in which he gave his regrets
in not being in a position to accept the
invitation sent him to attend the picnic
Mr. Long is a member of the association
and always has a good word to say for
the Wichita members.
