HEALTH OFFICER MAKES
AN APOLOGY TO DOCTORS
Retracts Charges of Not
Registering Births.
ERROR MADE IN RECORDS
Physicians Not Parsimonious-Ret
Made Despite Withdrawal of
Thanking Privilege.

A comedy of errors has been enacted
in the office of DR.. Woodward, District
Health officer. and the officer today
made an apology to members of the
medical fraternity in the District
Several days ago It was announced
that because of the recent ruling regard
ing the use of franked envelopes by Dis
trict officials, the number of birth re-
ports had fallen to 81, third of what
they have hitherto been. The reason for
this was ascribed to the reluctance of
local physicians to spend their own
money for stamps to notify the District
office of births. Inasmuch as the Office
would not supply the physicians with
stamps it was alleged fewer births were
reported than were ever recorded in the
office Of the Health Department.
The fact came to light this morning
that instead of reading 81 births, the re-
port last Wednesday should have read
103, the record of the office. The mis-
take was made by one of the clerks in
DR.. Woodwards office, and the Health
officer has lost no time in making his
apologies TO local physicians for his
slap at their supposed parsimony.

NOT FORCED TO QUIT
FOR ORGANIZING UNION
Report Regarding G. A.
Tracey Disbelieyed Here.
OTHER REASONS SUSPECTED
Washington Printers Say Public Prin-
ter Leech in Manila Is Himself a
Strong Union Man.

That George A. Tracey, foreman OF
the Government printing Office at Manila
was asked to resign for some other rea-
son than because he was connected with
the International Typographical Union
and was endeavoring to start printers
union in Manila. is the consensus ol
opinion among members of Columbia
Typographical Union. John S. Leech
public printer of the Philippines, who is
said to have given Tracey the alternative
of resigning or of being dismissed. is
we'll known in Washington as a strong
union man. He has represented the
Washington union as a delegate to the
International typographical Union sew
eral times
Both men had worked in the Govern
ment Printing Office here and had al
ways been friends.
Sent by War Department.
G. A. Tracey was selected by the War
Department to go to Manila to help as-
tablish a printing Office and was placed
in charge of the composing room, hav-
ing entered into a contract for term
of two years. In the meantime printers
were selected from the list of eligiblss
in the United States and sent to Ma
Mia When twenty-eight had arrived
IL was proposed to establish branch OF
the International typographical Union
and application was made to ]. w Bran
wood, who advised the printers TO go
ahead with plans for organization. A
charter. however, has not yet been
granted them
1t is said that the administration in
the Philippines is much opposed to the
| introduction of unionism in the islands.
and it is suggested that it was the power
behind the throne which cut off Tracey S
! official head. This does not appear con
sistent, however, in view of the fact
that many others were actively engaged
in the formation OF a printers union in
Manila who still retain their positions.
Tracey's Version.
Tracey said, when he landed in San
Francisco from Manila, that the morning
after he and others had entered their
new organization, he was summoned
before Leech who told him he must
resign or he (Leech) would prefer
charges against him.
'If you resign" said Leech, you will
get leave of absence money, but If the
charges are sustained against you, you
/ will get nothing"
Tracey chose to resign. thinking that
the Philippine government would sus-
/ tain his dismissal by Leech. He says

GEN. GREENE'S NAME.

Savannah, Nov. 23.-Editor of the
Morning News: Maj. Sidney Herbert
writes that he is not yet convinced
in the matter of Gen. Greene's name.
If he had stated in his letter suggest
ing to me this investigation that he
owned an autograph of the general
with the final left off, I would have
replied, as now do, that his specimen
appears to be unique, for 1 have Meth
err seen nor heard of another like it..
Indeed, I have just now, since reading
his communication in yesterdays
News, examined three autographs of
Gen. Greene, in all of which the sur
name is unquestionably Greene.
The subject of this investigation did
not. it seems. sign his Christian name
in full to his letters and documents.
and used the abbreviation NathI; but,
for the reasons given in my first letter,
and as two of the generals kinsmen,
George Washington Greene and Gen.
Francis v. Greene, have written biog-
raphies of him, and they-to say moth
ing of the first biographer, Johnson
call him Nathaniel Greene, l am sat-
isfied that such was his true name.
