Danger in Vegetables.
the New York World


The old law of action and reaction, 1.-The
feud of want and have" receives another
illustration in the statement of DR.. Wiley
of the Agricultural Department, as to the
danger lurking in vegetables grown in con-
taminated soil, such as that fortified by
city sewage, waste or garbage. DR.. Wiley
does not go to the length of saying all
vegetables grown in such soil are danger
GUS, but confines his observations chiefly
to those that are eaten as SaladS-creSSes,
lettuce and celery, for instance. These, as
they are usually eaten uncooked, are liza
bic to be exposed to contamination and
thus spread the germs of disease. The ty-
phoid epidemic in Chicago last year, it Will
be remembered was largely ascribed to
this cause by certain physicians of that
city, and the merest acquaintance with
the modern germ theory Of disease is suf-
ficient to show the condolences and
even probability of the statement that the
succulent salads and celery on city tables
are frequently agents of disease and death
The thought is not a pleasant one and
illustrates anew the difficulties with which
modern civilization has to contend.
Very few people in a city know whence
the vegetables, and especially the salads,
of their table come. and for this reason
extra precaution Is necessary. The ex-
tension Of the system Of milk and food
inspection to the gardens whence are
drawn the vegetables for city tables seems
about the only practical measure Of pre-
caution to meet this new danger, though
extra care in washing and cleansing all
vegetables that are to be eaten uncooked
Is an obvious precautfon that no prudent
houSekeeper will neglect.

WANT CROSSINGS PLACED.
Request of the North Capitol and Eek
ington Citizens Association.

The North Capitol and lexington Citi-
zens Association has requested of the Com
missioners that crossings be placed on the
north and south lines of U street at the in
tersection Of North Capitol and U streets.
The superintendent Of roads has recon-
mended adverse action upon this request.
THE roadways of North Capitol street"
he says. land of intersecting streets out to
the building lines of North Capitol street
have lately been macadamized with Dick
erson trap. 1t is contrary to the policy of
the Office to lay flag crossing in such new
construction. 1t Is believed that the condi-
ton as to mud will be materially improved
by the further matchmaking of North Cap
itol street north of street under the ap-
propriations for the current fiscal year, and
the repair of the roadways of Rhode Island
avenue and street by the use of the old
macadam from North Capitol street south
of T street..
This has been approved by the Commits
SionerS.

RELATIONS WITH VATICAN.
Those Of This Government Have Al.
ways Been Pleasant.

The relations Of the various governments
of Europe with the Vatican are of especial
interest at this time. In 1868 the diplomatic
relations of the United States with the
Vatican were broken off. They had been
maintained during the time the pope main
tanned temporal power in Rome and the
papal states, but upon the government Of
those states being taken under the SOW
ereignty of the king of Italy the diplomatic
representative of the United States there
was withdrawn.
The relations between the United States
and the pope whether as a sovereign or as
the prisoner of the Vatican" have always
been pleasant. The withdrawal of the
American minister to the papal states
merely followed as a matter Of necessity
by Congress in 1868 Withholding the usual
appropriation for that purpose.
During the last seven years there has
been semi-diplomatic relation between the
United States and the Vatican through the
papal delegate in this city. The delegate s
duties here relate solely to the interests OF
the Roman Church in the United States. The
delegate has official recognition, as is
the case at The Hague, in Spain. Belgium
and some other countries. He Is simply
the medium through whom the pope seeks
to treat any matters that may be found de-
Sirable.

The Boardwalk.
From the Baltimore Herald.

From the Baltimore Herald.
Every seaside resort that pretends to be
abreast of the age must have a boardwalk
where everybody can see everybody else,
including clothes, Jewels dogs and other
accessories of modern life during the period
of holiday.
The boardwalk in summer resembles in
some respects the fashionable drive in and
near cities at other seasons than summer
Mettlesome horses and automobiles are
barred from boardwalks, but other ami
mails and things are found there almost as
interesting and expensive. The boardwalk
like the avenue. is democratic sort of
place. All sorts and conditions meet and
pass, but do not necessarily mix. Money
has its value in the show, and here as
elsewhere, there is Vulgarity and discretion
In the use of it. You will find beauty fine
manners and much else worth admiration
on the boardwalk, and you cannot miss
other things not desirable. The board
walk is good place to study human ma
ture.
Last, but not least, there is romance and
love on the boardwalk.

RELEASE DELAYED
J. Il A. WATSON MAY NOT GET
OUT BEFORE SATURDAY.
Claimants Petition Filed in Connection
With Proceedings Instituted by
Distriet-Other Litigation.

1t was learned this afternoon that the
expected release from Jail on bail Of james
NJ A. Watson. accused of embezzling from
funds received in the office of the auditor.
District OF Columbia, Is not likely to be
effected before next Saturday. Jesse {.
Brooke and George 8. Watson, through
Attorney Stuart McNamara, this afternoon
| filed claimants petition in connection
with the civil proceedings Instituted by
the District of Columbia against James IA.
A. Watson to recover $40. 1S2.79. In this
proceeding attachments were issued against
all the property Of James IA. A. Watson
found here. A barber shop at AS Louisiana
| avenue was included In the property at
tached
forth in their petition that they are the
sole owners Of the barber shop mentioned
They ask the court to pass upon their claim
and order the release Of the attachment In
question.
Proceedings were recently instituted in
the Supreme Court of the District OF CO.
lumbia against James NJ A. Watson by
Elizabeth King Woodward Shinn. by her
next friend. Harry A. Shinn. for the pur-
pose of restraining Watson from disposng
of certain funds which he held as receiver.
1t is explained that several months ago
Watson was appointed receiver OF Mrs
ShinnS estate by the circuit court for
Warren county, Va. and as such it is
alleged in the bill there came into hls pos
session about 81, $40 in cash, a note for
SLID and certain of the shares of stock
of the Bank of Warren of Front Royal, Va.
The bill further AYERS that certain of
these funds were on deposit with the Cen
trail National Bank of this city. June 30 an
order was entered in the case. restraining
the disposition of any Of the funds upon
the cheek of Watson.
petition has been filed by the Central
National Bank through Attorneys Bran
denburg & Brandenburg, setting forth that
there is on deposit with the bank to the
credit of ]. NJ. A. Watson the sum of
S415.29. There is nothing to show that
these funds belong to Mrs. Shinn. 1t beng
averred in the petition that, owing to the
fact that Watson appears to have been en-
gagged in numerous enterprises, the fund to
his credit as receiver might belong to any
of such enterprises. For its protection the
bank asks that the order may be stayed
until the receiver shows that the funds on
deposit belong to the estate mentioned.
At hearing today Attorney Leonard H.
Poole appeared for Elizabeth King Wood
ward Shinn, and after argument Attorney
Stuart MCNAMARA, representing Watson,
stated that he would file an answer setting
forth the estate to which the funds on de-
post belong. In the meantime all further
action is stayed.
