IMPOSSIBLE TO ERECT

Commissioners Reply Regarding
Institution for ConsumptiveS.

The Commissioners have replied to the
request made by Gen. George N Stern
berg that a special hospital for the
treatment of consumption be erected i'm
mediately for the bepeft of the resi-
dents of the District who are suffering
from the disease. Commissioner Mac
farland. who has direct supervision CT
the matter. has recommended that Cen
eral Stornberg be informed all has been
done In the matter that II Is in the
power of the Commissioners to do at he
present time. In speaking of the case
Commissioner Macfarland said:
The Commissioners. under the au-
thority and appropriations OF Congress,
have purchased site and secured plans
for municipal hospital. primarily for
the care OF chronic cases convalescents
end inebriates. for whom no public pro-
vision is now made in the District of Co.
lumbia, except the very inadequate ar
ranGements at the Washington Asylum.
Among the chronic cases the most i'm
Portsnt, because the most dangerous to
the community, are those of tuhercu-
losis.
The Commissioners laid the facts re-
specting all these classes OF cases,
dwelling especially upon those Of TUDOR
culosis. before the Committee on Appro-
priations Of the last Congress. They
represented the great need of the indi-
gent sufferers from tuberculosis for pro-
per public care, and the fact that in the
absence of proper provision for them
they remained in their homes and were
necessarily a great and constant danger
to their fellow-citizens.
THE Commissioners directed atten-
tion to the facts collected and argu-
ments presented in favor of beginning
the construction of the municipal hos
pital by the Board OF Charities in their
several reports on the subject. The
Committee on Appropriations were not
ready to act upon the matter. The Com

Grams. Just at the moment when voting
was to begin some unknown person
arose hastily and nominated Mrs. Har-
riet l.. Scribner for the place. Mrs.
Scribner was elected.
Then. according to the .anti-Dyer fac
ton, the attorney, who is the captain of
Miles Camp, sent out a lot of postal
cards announcing that the auxiliary
would no longer be recognized as a part
of the veteran organization. A meet
ing was held and some people do sa,
there came very near being riot. A
resolution TO carry out Dyer's revenge

man. and every effort will be made 20

The operations of the sharper were
brought TO light by the report of a THEFT
in northeast Washington. Subsequently
series of similar complaints were en-
tered at Police Headquarters, and a gen
eral alarm was telegraphed TO the diff
ferent precincts.
This exponent of the confidence game
is described as a suave talker and en-
dowed with insinuating manners. He Is
attired in working clothes. and has every
appearance of one Of his vocation. The
disguise is complete.
In every case so far reported the thief
has committed the depredations by the
same method. He usually visits a
spotted" dwelling in the afternoon
while few persons are at home. and says
that be called to inspect pathtub by
order of the owner
So zS-ewd is he that the victims are
completely thrown off their guard. and
permit him the freedom of the house
without question. He then makes pre-

the house are engaged in their own
duties he suddenly slips into the most
convenient room and appropriates ev-

sacked the house. the crafty robber
makes his way noiselessly to the street

The man has successfully evaded the
police so far, but close watch will be
