DIPHTHERIA PREVALENT
At PHELPS SCHOOL
Residents Think Building
Should Be Closed.
DEPARTMENT IS SECRETIVE
Health Officials Efectually Close
Mouths of Teachers as to Growth
OF Disease.
DEPARTMENT is SEcRETlvE

Residents in the vicinity of the Phelps
School. Vermont Avenue. between and
L Streets northwest, are indignant at
the failure of the District Health De-
partment to close the school and relieve
pupils and their families from the i'm
pending spread Of diphtheria, now preva-
lent in the school.
Despite the efforts of the Health De-
partment and school authorities to sup
press the fact, additional cases of dipb-
liberia. it is said, have developed since
announcement was made in The Times
several days ago that four cases of the
disease were directly traceable TO the
Phelps Building. It was said by several
persons in the Heighborhood today that
sixteen or seventeen cases had been
taken from the Phelps School The
records of the Health Office show only
four cases on the calendar
Rigid silence is maintained by teach
ers at the school by order OF the Health
department. None of them would talk
but referred a Times reporter to the
Health officer or higher authorities in
the school
Three eiittSren of Mr. and Mrs Ed
ward Philpitt, of 2122 Ninth Street, are
quarantined. and diphtheria sign is
posted on the front of the house. Pearl
Philpitt, the eldest. has been home from
school for some days Her case is on
record at the Health Office and has been
examined by officers of the department
Other cases are reported to be preva-
lent IN the nefghborhood- The mother
of one of the patients said this morning
that the child had been examined by
two physicians from the Health Depart
ment. and enc Of them. whose name
could not be- learned. bad said that the
Phelps School WAS full II dipntheria.
The sttitude OF teachers at the Phelps
building is significant in that when the
disease first developed no hesitancy was
manifested regarding the condition OF
the pupils health. Strict orders NOT to
talk, however. have been given them,
and a deep air of mystery prevails
about the building. Not even the con
dition of some Of the diphtheria patients
could be learned, and il was said that
no information would be given out.

no action until Minister Powell has
advised the State Department of the

Santo DcsuingO's announcement that

that an effective blockade has been es-
tabBshed by the Domoniean republic.

ade has been entered by the United
States. Nevada a. Stranahan, Collec-
tor Of the Port of New York, has in

CONFERENCES BEGAN
WHEN REPRESENTATIVE
WAS FIRST RECEIVED
The Proposed Compact
IS Based Upon the Co
lonbian Instrument.
With More Favorable
Terms.

a rough draft Of the proposed canal
treaty between the United States ana
Panama has been prepared. and it is
expected the formal document viii be
made complete and ready for the sigma
lures within a few days, probably in
time for the President to send it to the
Senate for ratification before the ad-
journment of the extra session.
Minister Bunau-varilla did not wait
for the arrival of the special advisory
commission from Panama before be-
ginning the negotiations with Secretary
Hay. The first official conference with
the Secretary on the subject took place
on the afternoon of the day when Mr..
Varilla was formally recognized by the
President as the diplomatic representa-
tive Of the new republic.
The general terms of the convention
have been agreed upon. and it only re-
mains for the two pienipotentiaries to
come into accord on the minor details.
The treaty with Colombia was used as
a basis for the new instrument. but it
is understood that the United States will
be granted more liberal terms than in
the former convention. The cash bonus
to be paid for the right to dig the canal
is the same-s10 O0009o-

POLICEMEN NOT PREY
OF THE USURY SHARKS
Commissioner West Decides Trial Board
Shall Only Insist on Repayment of
Principal With Legal Interest.

Commissioner West today disregarded
the protest Of certain money lenders in
the District. that policemen should be
compelled TO pay any rate Of fllsS=,--zz
charged for loans, whether such rate be
usurious or not. The Commissioner or
ders that the trial board must insist
upon the payment by policemen of the
principal OF a loan. plus a legal rate Of
interest only.
The money lenders asserted a recent
amendment to the police regulations
would prevent the collection OF even the
principal Of the loan. if usurious inter
est were charged Commissioner West
says the amendment Is not intended to
aid any policeman in the evasion OF a
Just debt. He says many policemen have
in the past been charged eXtOrtiouate
rates Of interest. and in many cases the
interest paid has amounted 10 a sum
larger than the original debt 1t is from
this condition Of affairs that the Com
rnfssioners desire to relieve policemen
who may, through force of circum-
stances. be compelled to seek temporary
financial aid.
The money lenders VIII be informed
accordingly.
