LANE EXCUSE OFFERED
BY HEALTH OFFICER
Fails to Explain Why Free Advertise
ment Was Embodied in Annual
Report of 1899.

After delay of several months. DR..
William c. Woodward. Health Officer
of the District OF Columbia, has re-
piled 10 a request made by Commits
sioner Mcfarland explaining why a
prospectus Of the Washington Sanitary
Improvement Company, a private cor
poration, was included in the official
report of the Health Department for
1899. In view of the fact that the Health
Omcer was and is a stOckhOldeI in the
company. the Commissioners believed an
investigation warranted
Dr. Woodward's explanation fails to
explain except in so lar as the origin
Of the company is concerned lie shows
the company was formed be-se9se OF a
request Of the Board of Commissioners,
who wanted something done for worthy
poor people, to protect them from cold
and unsanitary homes. DR.. Woodward
fails to state why the free aavertise-
ment was allowed in his anx-Ial report.
except that it related solely 10 the
housing of the poor in the District Of
Columbia as the situation had been
studied and developed by various agen-
cies in the previous years. He said 1t
furnished valuable data relative to one
of the most important factors in the
sanitary condition of the District OF
Columbia.
Commissioner AIacfarland. in common
ing on the reply of the Health officer,
says:
AS the publication referred TO was
made before ! came into Office and took
supervision of the Health Department,
I had no knowledge of IT, and. there
fore. when it was brought to my at
tention. I asked the Health Officer to
prepare a statement of the facts which
might be deposited in the files OF this
office. The unusual pressure upon the
time Of the Health Officer has induced
me to advise him to defer preparing
this statement until now. 1t will sbe de-
posted in the files"

JUVENILE COURT IDEA
A PARTIAL FAILURE
This View Advanced by
Major Sylvester.
WANTS POLICE MAGISTRATES
Reasons Given Why Present Arrange
ment Should Be Supplanted by
Better Methods.

Major Sylvester. Chief Of Police. in
his annual report 20 the Commissioners,
makes perdnent comment in regard to
the Juvenile court system now in opera
ton here. The unlimited patronage Of
the streets and public squares at night
by unprotected and misguided children,
and the more advanced YOUTH. is detri-
mental to the public welfare" says the
major.
The absence Of a compulsory educa-
ton law" h.. continues. which may be
practically enforced, of established legal
hoGTs. in which the young shall be
within doors. and a thorough and prop
erly equipped probation force with po-
lice powers and supervision are deficien-
cies which might be provided and which
would effect the cure for some of the
evils II must be foreseen that under
present conditions those who are re-
leased from the juvenile court cannot
be properly and frequently inspected
and reported upon by one or two proba-
ton officers.
There afS many who grow up under
improper influences who claim they
must contribute to the support Of de-
pendent ones in small way, who also
recite that they cannot attend school
for want OF shoes and clothing and
owing TO the distress Of parents. There
are others who are idle and indolent
who should be made TO study. or work,
or at least be compelled 10 refrain
from running at lsEge in companies or
gangs

Power of Mayors.

Complaint is made that the present

right to remove the health officers. This
has handicapped the carrying out Of
sanitary regulations. and it is expected

health officers have exercised a rigid
supervision over the foods imported into
the island. and thousands of dollars
worth of stuff has been sent back or
condemned and Immediately dumped
into the ocean. It was found that manu-
faeturers and dealers in Europe were
sending to Porto Rico tainted or in
ferior products which could be sold
nowhere else. but the practice has about
been stopped by the drastic action of the
officials.

Mr.. Hepburn (Rep.. Iowa. in support Of
it. The closing speeches were made by
Mr.. Mccall (Rep.. Mass.) for The ma

for the minority.
At the conclusion of the discussion,
Mr. Williams moved to recommit the
bin to the Committee on Ways and
Means, with Instructions to report a
measure embodying the amendmen's
proposed by the Democrats. Mr. Payne
raised a point of order against the mo-
ton on the ground that the House had
adopted a rule TO prohibit such itmend-
ments The chair decided to hear Mr..
Williams. but sustained the point Of
order, whereupon Mr.. Payne moved to
lay the appeal upon the table. Mr.. Wiz

the appeal was laid upon the table by
strict party vote.
