ticing in the District to register. The move
ment looking toward the registration of

week at their request Health Officer Wood
ward spoke on the subject before a gather
ing of nearly 2C0 nurses at the Columbian
University Medical School, and his earnest

ents of the hospital training schools were
appointed committee to nominate officers.

PRACTICE on the same committee.

number of nurses in the city practicing as
graduate nurses and being paid as such who
have never taken the full course at any

competent to handle cases of a serious ma
ture Examples are cited where these nurses
have failed in an emergency through lack

FIVE MILLIONS A DAY.
Rapid Growth Of export Trade of the
United States.

Five million dollars a day Is snug sum
for the people of single country to realize
as the sale of the products of their farms.
factories. forests, fisheries and mines. The
exports Of domestic products of the United
States in the month of October, 1903 aver
aged more than $5,O0O.OO0 a day for every
day in the month, and for every business
day in the month averaged practically
100000 day. The total exports of the
month as shown by the figures OF the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor through
it's bureau of statistics amounted to $780,
3I0,Oo9. which would average more than
$5OO0.00O for every day in the month. and
practically $6,0O0OOO for each business day
in the month From the port of New York
alone were $51 ,SS7 .942, or nearly $1,000. 900
for each business day of the month.
This expectation in October, amounting
to $1GO.0OO,000 exceeds that of any proceed
ing month in the history of our commerce,
with the single exception of October, 1900,
when the total was $163 359 $50. For the ten
months ending with October the total ex-
ports were $1,149, 694 1888. and for the twelve
months ending with October the total was
81 422. SS7,9o4. These totals for ten and
twelve months, respectively, are larger than
in any preceding year except 1901 and 1900,
in which the ten and twelve months totals
slightly exceeded those of the present year.
Imports in October also exec aded those of
any preceding October. with the single ex-
ception of October, 1902. They amounted to
$S1, 1871 .00o or little over s.. 500 900 per day.
The exports were, already shown, over
$5O00.000 per day, thus leaving the average
total excess of exports over imports 81, &c.,
900 per day. The total excess of exports
over imports in the month of October was
SIS, 439.O54 or 81, SIG. 292 for each day in the
month. or $780, so for each business day
in the month.
3 OF this enormous total of S16O, 600, 600 of
exports. or $6.00O,0 900 a day for each bust
ness day, the largest single item was cot
ton, amounting to $50 900, while the re-
naming $100,000000 was divided among
other farm products, manufactures. the
products of the mines, forests and fisheries
The high prices of cotton during the past
few months resulted in reduction of pur-
schases abroad in the earlier months of the
year, and thus a shortage of stocks, and as
Ia consequence the first month of the cotton
year. October showed very large expor-
tation of cotton and at unusually high
prices the average price per pound for cot
ston exported being 10.1 cents, against an

Bad Condition of Highway Alleged.

The Brightwood Citizens Association re-.
Gently forwarded to the Commissioners a
resolution calling attention to the alleged
dangerous condition of Brightwood avenue
and inadequate lighting of the Soldiers
Home road.
Engineer Commissioner Biddle has
moved that the writer be informed that
with reference to Brightwood avenue
about SLIGO have been expended in the
improvement of the street in the past two
years. He says this has resulted in giving
a good read from enc end to the other on
one side of the railroad track and part of
the way on the other side. To macadamize
1t on the east side of the track from Rich
mond street to Shepard road would cost
about $1,000 more. This it does not seem
practicable to do at the present time in
view of the large amount of needed work
on other county roads.

MAN WHO HAD A VISION
Comes to Washington to See President
and Lands in ASYLUM.

William B. Howard called at the White
House yesterday ahead of Carry Nation
He was told that 1t was the Presidents
busy day and he went away He created
no scene, but merely wanted to see the
President on purely personal" matter
His visit and communications resulted in
his arrest last night, and now he is in the
hospital for the insane. Howard is a COL
ored shoemaker, whose home is in Atlanta
Ga, but who has been far west as Los
Angeles, Cal, to escape being murdered
While pegging away at secondhand shoes
in Atlanta he made an attempt to study
and dispose of the race problem, and it
was his interest in this question that final
ly got him into trouble.
One day while seated on his cobbler,s
bench driving pegs through leather he had
vision, he said, the Lord revealing to
him that the cOlored people do not belong
to a cursed race and telling him that they
are descendants of the Jews. 1t was also
revealed to him that President Roosevelt
is to be his own successor. William says
he was a pillar in the Friendship Baptist
Church in Atlanta, and the deacons did not
like the idea of his telling or his vision, as
it was contrary to the teachings of the
church. They were unable to induce him
to believe he was mistaken about the vi
sion, and he finally left Atlanta in order to
save his life.
Il told a Jew about my vision" said
Howard, land he threatened to kill me-
One day l found him in the back yard
shooting at me. Then he took my custom
ers from me and l had to leave there
He said lie was in communication with
the authorities before he went to Los An
geles, and that he also told officials in the
latter city of his troubles. When he saw
he had been followed to Los Angeles by
people who wanted to kill him he thought
the President was the only person who
could help him He felt doubly certain
about this. because he knew the President
would he glad to hear the part of his vi
sion concerning the next election.
Howard mailed letters to the White
House, and when he had obtained no re-
Spouse he started for this city to see the
President in person Last night he was
found at the Philadelphia House by De-
tectives Muller and Cornwell OF Capt
Boardman's staff, who were accompanied
nv Secret Service Detective Taylor. The
coIored man made no effort to conceal his
