Judge Love to Announce His
Decision Tomorrow,
JURY TO TRY Jack TlGHE
Belief That Difficulty Will Be En-

When the Alexandria county court
opens at Fort Myer Heights at $50

matter to be taken under consideration

Messrs. Bendheim and ShilIiugton. Mel

their client on bail. Commonwealth
Attorney Clements interposed an objec-
ton to this. Judge Love stated that he
would hear arguments on the question

SAYS TYPHOID FEVER
IS CAUSED BY FLIES
Dr.. Cohen Declares Epidemic Is Not
Due Mainly to Impure Water

PHILADELPHIA. Sept 3.-Physicians
recognized IS experts in bacterioIogy
are inclined to the belief that the ex-
cessive number Of typhoid fever cases
which are filing the public hospitals
just now are not due altogether to the
fmpurity OF Philadelphia drinking water.
And not al Of the cases. they say, are
really typhoid fever DR.. J. Soils Cohen
blamed two other sources yesterday for
the typhoid outbreak He said:
Typhoid fever always increases at
this time Of the year owing to the in
creased pollution OF the sources Of water
supply and to the enormously multiplied
activity of insects-especiaHy flies.
which carry contagion from one spot 20
another
Every case Of typhoid develops from
the germs conveyed from the 0ischarg es
OF preceding case, and water, milk.
and flies are the principal means Of
conveyances.
At this time Of the year. too, flies
multiply more rapidly. and, on account
OF the increased filth OF a city, they have
easier access 10 the sources Of poIlu-
