Commissioner Macfarland's Suggestion
Regarding Lodging House Laundering.


Commissioner mcfarland. who has super
vision of the municipal lodging house. has
taken up the matter as to the manner in
which the laundry work of the resident en-
ployes shall be done In the future, and in
speaking of the subject said:
Commissioner West brought to my at
tention the information furnished him by
the property clerk. and new to both of US.
that the laundry work Of the resident en-
ployes Of the municipal lodging house had
been for at least six years done outside
of the house and paid for out of the
municipal lodging 4hou appropriation
Upon inquiry, it appears that this was first
authorized by Col. Tracy superintendent
of charities under the last Cleveland ad-
ministration, and that when question was
raised about it after his successor
Mr. Lewis, came into Office. in 1897. the
practice was approved, apparently. by the
superintendent of charities and the then
Commissioners on the ground that 1t was
part of the maintenance guaranteed the
resident employees. whose salaries are small
and who, like the employees in the public
charitable institutions elsewhere, are given
board and lodging, with washing as an IN
cidental item In the case Of the other Dis
trct institutions the laundry work for the
resident employees Is done on the premises,
but, OF course. at public expense Inc
question has never been brought before
the Commissioners since 1 came into office.
but now that it is up shall advise that
of the municipal lodging house be done
in the house itself and in the manner or
other District institutions, II 1T Is done at
public expense at ALL"

ATTORNEY TO DECIDE.
Papers in elliott Case Referred to Dis
trict's Law Department.

Commissioner West today forwarded to
the corporation counsel for consideration
all the papers in the case of Private elliott
of the police force. who was recently tried
on charges of conduct unbecoming an Off
Ger. Together with the trial papers Mr..
West sent the brief filed in the case by At
torney Wilton J. Lambert. Mr.. Lambert
raises a number Of legal points, which the
corporation counsel will have to pass upon.
The trial board found the defendant not
guilty of the charges or specifications, but
recommended his dismissal on general prin-
ciples. The attorney claims this action was
not warranted. The policemans defense
was addressed solely to the charges and
specifications, and if he is to be tried on
other points it Is contended that he at least
should have his day in court, and be al
lowed to enter defense.
The elliott case has attracted an unusual
amount of attention because of the alleged
scandal it involved. 1t was charged that
the policeman had boosted of his infiuentce
to secure places in the police and fire de-
partments. and had generally talked in a
way to bring discredit upon those depart
ments elliott was political appointee on
the special street crossing force, the mem
bers of which are paid by the street rail-
road companies He was later promoted tC
the regular force.

SCHOOLS ALTITUDE.
Building High and Difficulty Expert
enced in Securing Water.

The problem Of securing a sufficient sup
ply of good water for the new Edwin NJ
Stanton School has been engrossing the at
tention of the authorities of the engineer
department at the District building the
past few weeks. The school is more than
100 feet above the height to which Potomac
water is raised, being located at the inter-
section 81 Hamilton and Naylor roads,
Good Hope, at elevation of go feet
above tide. The inspector of buildings re-
Gently suggested that the water department
take cup the question of supplying the
school.
Mr. W. A. Mcfarland. superintendent of
the latter department, reported that the
elevation of the school was $50 feet. and
that the present water system delivers
water in Anacostia only to a height of 1870
feet The service Of the higher territory Is
included in the general project for the ex-
tension of the distributing system but 1t Is
improbable that the work can be under
taken within the next two years.
Upon the receipt of this report the En-
gineer Commissioners instructed the in
spector of buildings to advertise for bids
for driving or drilling a we'll for securing a
water supply. Acting under these instruc-
tons. Mr.. A. M Poynton, acting inspector
of buildings, interviewed parties owning
wells at Good Hope in the vicinity of the
school building He learned that one party
had a well driven to depth of 500 feet
and then abandoned 1t, as the lower strata
contained mari, which contaminated the
water. Three other parties adjacent to the
school have dug wells varying from 80 to
As feet and say they have a depth of from
three to seven feet of water, which is very
good.
ITO drill we'll" said Mr.. Poynton,
would take from one to two months. ac-
cording to the depth required. well could
be dug within ten days or two weeks after
contract is let would respectfully recon-
mend that this paper be referred to the
board of education for a recommendation
as to their desires in the premises
Capt. Harding. assistant to the Engineer
Commissioner did not think this step nee
essary, however. He has directed that ar
engagements be made to dig a we'll to such
depth as may be necessary to obtain good
supply of water, and that before the well Is
turned over for use the water be analysed
to determine its fitness for drinking pur-
poses. Ultimately the city water supply
will reach the vicinity of the school, but
Capt. Harding believes that for two years
more the well recommended is the only
means available of procuring a water sup
ply.

CONTRACTING YELLOW FEVER.
Physicians Hold That the Disease
Comes Only Through incubation.

comes Only through incubation.
The lack of information concerning the
manner in which yellow fever is transmitted
Is giving the marine hospital service
great deal of trouble. DR.. Wyman, the sur
geon general of that service, is anxious that
people generally, and at this time the
Texans who reside on the American side of
the Rio Grande river in particular, should
understand that yellow fever Is neither con-
tagious nor infectious.
Recently the War Department received
strong petition from Texans near the Rio
Grande pleading that shotgun quarantine
be provided to prevent any one crossing the
river in order to stamp out the yellow fever
plague They regarded that disease as so
infectious or contagious that the presence of
a single person who has been in the pres
ence OF the disease would be sure to intro
duce 1t. They looked upon yellow fever cx-
actly as they would view the smallpox.
The fact is medical science has long since
discovered that the only manner in which
yellow fever can be contracted is by inocu-
lation. A mosquito is one of the active
agents in inoculating people with the dis
ease, and various classes of yermin are en-
gagged in the same occupation. The manner
of stamping out the disease is now largely
directed toward preventing the existence of
these means of transmitting 1t, together
with the isolation of patients suffering
from it. Doctors sometimes contract It by
having their hand on which there is an
abrasion of the skin come in contact with
yellow fever patient. But that is only al
other form of incubation.
The efforts of the marine hospital service
are being directed along the we'll known
means for stamping out the disease. In all
exposed communities stagnant pools and
every breeding place either for mosquitoes
or vermin being cleaned out either by
means of drainage or direct attack on the
pests. There is not any need for a shotgun
quarantine in order to deal successfully
with the disease, and none will be estab-
lished along the Rio Grande. DR.. Wyman at
this time looks hopefully toward the news
papers to educate the people as to the exact
nature of the disease and the rational meas
ures that should be adopted in dealing with

Working the Race Issue.

Mr. Warfield and his running mates in
their tour of the state are keeping the
race issue to the fore and urging "a white
mans government" for Maryland. The
leaders clearly intimate in their speeches
that If a democratic legislature Is elected
this fall an effort will be made to wholly
disfranchise the colored man. In the course
of a speech at Mount Carmel in Baltimore
county, last Saturday. Gen l.. Victor
Baughman, who introduced Mr.. Warfield,
made the following significant statement:
The present election law was in the ma
ture of an experimental act, and If there
were any hardships experienced by the
white voters Of the state l would gladly
urge such changes as would give every
white man the absolute right to vote his

Aguinaldo's Ambition and Ruin.
1.-The death of Andres Bonifacio had fully
demonstrated the existence in Sr. Aguinaldo
of a boundless ambition for power, and the
personal enemies of Luna, through skilled
intrigues, exploited this weakness to the
latters ruin To say that the revolution
would have triumphed had Sr. Aguinaldo,
instead of allowing Luna to be killed, sup
ported him with all his might, would be
too preSumptuous, but L entertain not the
slightest doubt that the Americans would
have had higher opinion of the valor and
military capacity of the Filipinos. Luna
living, I am sure that the mortal blow
struck by General Otis would have been
stayed or, at least, averted in time, ana
the incompetency of Sr. Aguinaldo for
military command would not have been
clearly shown. Besides, Sr. Aguinaldo, in
order to rid himself of Luna, utilized the
very soldiers the latter had punished for
breaches of discipline. Sr. AgunaldO, there

army. Luna fallen, his strongest support

Believing that the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the

merit of men from their capacity, character

Evangelistic Services.

Inc evangelstic meetings which began
last Thursday evening in Gunton-Temple
Memorial Presbyterian Church have been
attended by immense audiences, and a
great deal of interest has been manifested
IN the special gospel services thus early in
the SERIES
The special evangelist who is assisting
Rev. DR.. Asa S. Fiske, the pastor, is Rev.
Charles E. Bradt, pastor of the First Pres
byterian Church of Wichita. Kan. Rev.
MI. Bradt, 1t is stated, has been eminently
successful in his ministerial work
The First Presbyterian Church in Wichita
was organized in a cave in 1870 with thir-
teen members. When Mr.. Bradt became it's
pastor. 1t is said, the church owed over
$lS0OO and was unable to keep up its cur
rent expenses. Mr.. Bradt induced his con-
sregatl0n to subscribe for the support of a
pastor to preach the gospel in China and
10 take on increased responsibilities From
that time, 1t is stated, the church began to
prosper, and within two years after Mr.
Bradt assumed charge the church debt had
Deen paid off. The present membership of
the society numbers 300 persons. In seven
years the congregation has raised more than
wichita and four missiona ries and twenty
native pastors and women Bible teachers in
China.
1t is expected that Rev. Mr.. Bradt will
conduct three services tomorrow, and there
after at 4:3O O'Clock each afternoon he will
give Bible lesson and in the evening he
Will hold evangelistic service The series
of meetings will continue for three weeks
from last Thursday.
