ISOLATION HOSPITAL
AN AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE
ANALoSTAN ISLAND.
Commissioners Receive Copy From
Senator Galhnger-Report Not
yet Ready.

The District Commissioners received to-
day from the Senate District committee a
copy or an amendment to the District ap-
preparation bill. Intended to be proposed by
Senator Gallinger, providing that the Com
missioners are empowered and directed to
| acquire Analostan Island. in the Potomac
river. at cost not to exceed $4,000. or by
| condemnation proceedings conducted in ac-
cordance with the terms of the act which
provided for the securing of an eligible site
| Tor the new city post Office building.
Brought Up Before.
The suggestion of the purchase of the is
land was first brought before Congress in
1896 and was up again In 1900. The
Commissioners reported adversely on
the proposition in 1900. saying that while
1t might be convenient on general prin-
cipies for the District to own Analostan
lsland, they were aware of no municipal
purposes to which the property could then
be devoted.
me commissioners appointed commit
tee to investigate and inquire into the pro-
priety OF buying the island. The commit
tee consisted of Capt. G. j. Fiebeger, who
was assistant to the Engineer Commission
ers at the time: DR.. William c. Woodward,
the health officer and John B. Brady, the
late inspector of buildings This committee
submitted an interesting report on the is
land.
Committees Report.
ITO convert the island into suitable
Site for an isolation hospital the commit
tee said, I'VE believe it will be necessary:
First. 10 reclaim the marshes along the is
land and as far south as Alexander Island.
This might be done by dredging one-half
the area to a depth of six feet below mean
low water and raising the other half six
feet above the plane; estimated cost,
Sl4SOoO Second, to connect the island
with the approaches of the Aqueduct
bridge By road and bridge twenty feet
wide. ano to construct dock on the is
land opposite the foot of New Hampshire
avenue: estimated cost, $12 600
Third. To lay a six-inch water main
from the north end of the Aqueduct bridge
to the probable site of the hospital; esti-
mated cost. $1,000.
"Analostan Island appears upon the books
of the assessor as containing seventy-five
acres, assessed at $500 per acre, making the
total assessed valuation $4,000. If pur-
chased by the government under condemna-
ton proceedings it would probably bring
three times it's assessed value, or SIP, 500.
condition to use site for an isolation
hospital would therefore be s2S1 $50
How to Approach Island.
Except when the navigation of the river
is closed by ice. the communication with
the island should be by means of steam
ferry; when the river is closed, it would be
necessary to approach the island from the
Virginia shore via the Aqueduct bridge"

AN EIGHT HOUR DAY
Typographical Union Will
Fight Fer This.
A Strong R solution Against Socialism The
International Ladi Auxiliary
Endorsed.
(By the Associated Press.)

Cincinnati, o., August 15.-The Inter
national Typographical Union which has
been in session here all week has dis
posed of more than three hundred prop
ositions for changes in its laws, as we'll
as many resolutions. Among the reso-
luttons defeated were those relating to
socialism and political idealism.
The spirit of the convention was most
emphatically shown in the adoption of
resolution against socialism. Max
Hayes, of Cleveland, had been elected as
a delegate of the International Typo
graphical Union to the next convention
of the American Federation of Labor, and
delegates claim. that they did not know
he was a socialist until after he was
elected, and for this reason, a strong
resolution of Instructions was adopted.
The agitation over the organization of
the International Ladies Auxiliary has
been going on all week. 1t was settled
today by the adoption of a resolution of
endorsement by a large majority.
Resolutions were adopted for the cleo
ton OF United States Senates Senators
by direct vote of the people; for public
ownership of public utilities and the
adjustment of all explorations; for
trade autonomy: for union labels on all
manufactured articles; for union made
school books; asking Congress to appro-
pirate $4,000 for statue of Amos j. Cum
mings at Washington; against the single
tax and against so-called government
by injunction"
The convention of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union today
adopted a proposition for an ag-
gressive campaign the next year for
universal eight hour law. President
Lynch and Vice President Hawkes. were
directed to act with all local unions
where the working day exceeds eight
hours and secure observance of the eight
hour law.
conference committee was appointed
to secure better sanitary conditions of
composing rooms.
The Committee on Laws recommended
an amendment to the general laws, strik-
ing out the famous section No. 142, and
it was unanimously adopted. Frederick
Driscoll, Commissioner of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association, adj
dressed the Sterotypers Union this fore
noon, urging joint action with the l. t.
u in section 142 from the joint agree
ment.
The /. T. L. adopted with unanimity
the suggestions of Commissioner Dris-
coll, that all changes in scale before
adoption by the union shall be submitted
to each published interested; also that
a representative of the A. N. p. A. shall
be entitled to be heard before the pas
sage of any laws affecting the rights and
interests of publishers.

DENIAL OF RoYALIsT INFLUENCE.
1t Is Declared That the Movement in Brittany
Is Purely Spontaneous.
(By the Associated Press.)

Paris, August 15.-The semi-official
announcement made after yesterdays
Cabinet meeting, that the Royalists are
directing the agitation against the clos
ing of religious schools in Brittany has
evoked considerable comment. Catholic
leaders and the Catholic press deny that
the movement is anti-Republican. Count
Albert De Nun, who with Able Cav
raud, is the guiding spirit of the resist
ance In Finistere, declares that the
movement is entirely spontaneous on the
part of the people themselves Count
Albert De Nun says the Marseilles has
been sung everywhere, and it is evident
the government is embarrassed by the
situation and has invented the Royal
list scare in order to create diversion.
The situation at st. Meen and Folgeot
remains unchanged. An important pill
primage to Folgeot took place today, on
the occasion of the feast of the assump-
ton, $1,000 people gathering from the
surrounding country. Professions from
nearby villages arrived during the morn
ing headed by priests bearing crosses and
banners and chanting.

boarding car close by and were annoyed
by the negroes singing The latter were
asked on several occasions to stop, but
refused to do so. Today Nelson Randall
marched up to the works with a Win
chester rifle in his hands and the white
men attempted to take it away from him.
The battle followed.

A WIFE's HORRIBLE DEED
Secures an Ally and by Foul Deception Com
passes Her Husbands Death
(By the Associated Press.)


Bennington, VT, Aug. ia startling
story was brought out today at the in
quest into the death of Marcus Rogers,
whose body was found in the Walloom-
sack River here yesterday, when Levi
Perham, aged 10, confessed that the man
had been murdered and implicated him
self and the wife of the dead man as
the participants in the crime.
Rogers, who separated from his wife
several months ago, had his life insured
for $500 for the woman's benefit. He left
Hoosic Falls last Tuesday morning and
was not seen again until his body was
found in the river Thursday morning.
At the inquest today when the Ferham
brothers, Levi and Boyd, were placed on
rectly charged his brother and
Mrs Rogers with the crime of
murder. He said Mrs. Rogers APP
preached him few days ago and offered
to give him the amount of the insurance
on her husband ($500) if he would go to
Hoosic Corners and do away with him.
He refused. Mrs. Rogers then approached
Levi and exerted such an influence over
him that the latter consented to lure
Rogers to Bennington, where a trap had
ben set for him. Rogers was enticed to
Morgan's Grove, where on Tuesday even
ing he met his wife and Levi Perham.
The meeting was apparently a friendly
one, and under the impression that his
companions were showing him a trick
with ropes, Rogers allowed them to bind
him hand and foot When in this help
less condition they chloroformed him and
threw him into the river.
Levi Perham confessed that all that
had been revealed against himself was
true.

WANTS A FAIR chance
Wilmington Fighting Against
Unjust Freight Rates.
Suit Started Against Forty Railroads Which
Makes Dissemination in Favor Of Nor
fix and Richmond.

To remove the unjust discrimination
against Wilmington in freight rates made
by over forty lines of railroad in the
West and the South has been the earnest
work of the Wilmington Tariff Associa-
ton.
Yesterday District Attorney Skinner
left for Wilmington to file bill of
equity in this matter, the effect of which
will be to bring to terms the railroads,
which have been disregarding the rul-
ings of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission made on the 18th of December,
1901. An order for the filing of this bill
was made Thursday afternoon by Judge
T. r. Purnell, and it is for the purpose
of enforcing the order of the Commission
that the bill is filed on application of
the Tariff Association of Wilmington.
This matter was carried to the Inter
state Commerce Commission because the
adjustment of rates on freight traffic
from Chicago, st. Louis, and other relat-
ed points of shipment operated largely
to deprive that city in its competition
for trade in common territory with Nor
folk, Richmond and other Virginia cities
of the benefits of those primary markets
and to limit Wilmington to such inter-
mediate points of supply as Cincinnati
and Louisville, from which points tho
rates were fair and reasonable. This put
Wilmington at a serious disadvantage in
selling its wholesale lines as against Nor
folk and Richmond because of the wrong
full and prejudicial rate from Chicago and
st. Louis.
,osp hN ftI1 INt hn
Interstate Commerce Commission decid
cd that the freight rates Subject Will
mington to prejudice and disadvantages
which are in substantial degree undue
and unreasonable" and that the many
railroads named were responsible, and
that these wrongs should be regulated
The Commission made it's findings that
the railroads should desist from the un
just rates and make the rates to Will
135 per cent. of those to Norfolk,
Wilmington being farther away from the
shipping points. Issuance of the order
was suspended for forty days, making the
order operative on January q, 1902. The
railroads have not done as required by
the Commission and the present suit is
in order to force them to do so.
In this suit District Attorney Skinner
will be assisted by Mr.. L. A. Shaver, an
attorney for the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The subpoenas are made
on September % and the an
swer of the roads is required by the first
Of October, and the case will then be
made IN and a time set for its hearing
before the Circuit Court The secretary
of the Interstate Commission will make
on the nonresident defendants in
the case.
This suit is brought against every line
of road entering Wilmington, and also
against every line of road connecting
with them or dealing through transfers
with them from Chicago and st. Louis.
1t is thus against practically all OF the
great railroad systems and in the contest
Wilmington will make a desperate fight
as upon it hinges a vast amount of trade
of which she is deprived in North and
South Carolina.

1t has been proven to US be-

that a new medicine quickly
clears up the worst skin affec-

ing, amazing, almost miraculous.
Ut is a specific formula which,
because of its discovery by DR..

like a story of magic. But there
is no room for doubt about it
whatever; full proofs, indisput-
able in every respect, have been
submitted regarding hundreds of
cases among them the two cases
illustrated in this announcement.
The one case shown here of the
adult (Mr. Charles Jacobs, psor-
iasis of many years standing)
was cured in 45 days. The other
case of the boy Sammy Minkey)
was cured in three weeks. The
results are not only complete, but
permanent; in the case of Mr..
Jacobs, which was one of the
earliest cured after the discovery
of this medicament, it is now
nearly three years since the dis
ease was cleared out of the skin,
