QUESTION WHICH CAUSES WASH
INGTON CONGRESSMAN TO
GO SLOW.
From Taking Newspaper Orders
Causes Much Discussion.

A Washington dispatch says that
considerable doubt exists in the minds
of representatives regarding the
amendment prohibiting rural delivery
carriers from securing newspaper sub
scriptions. 1t was said at the commit
tee room of the postoff1ce committee
that half of the members of the house
were asking whether or not this
amendment would affect the PROPOSE
ton to increase the salaries of car
riers. Mr.. Jones is inclined to oppose
the amendment, as he feels that, until
the carriers are raised to higher SAL
ary and placed on an equal footing
with other employees of the govern
ment, they should be allowed to make
any extras they can. He would not go
against the amendment though. if it
would not hurt the chances of carriers
getting more pay. Mr.. Humphrey had
not given the matter much thought.
but said he was in favor of carriers
taking newspaper orders if it did not
Interfere with their other work. but
if opposition to the amendment would
jeopardize the increased salary propo-
sition the amendment would have tc
stand.
Mr.. Cushman said: 1T is a bridge I
won't cross until 1 get to it and l
have not given the matter enough
thought yet to express a positive opin-
ion. The line must be drawn some
where, however, and if the carriers are
allowed to take orders for newspa
pers. why not groceries and any Other
article?"
Senator Foster was in favor of Civ
ing the carriers some discretion in the
matter and Senator Ankeny could not
be seen.

VERDICT FOR DEFENDANT.
A Charge of Violating Milk Law Not
Sustained

A charge of violating the milk law which
was filed in the Police Court several weeks
ago against John w. Gregg. dairyman In
business at 616 o street northwest, was dis
missed late yesterday afternoon by Judge
kfmbaA, who upon hearing the evidence
directed the jury to return verdict In
favor of the defendant.
The testimony produced by the govern
ment showed that Gregg had been in the
habit of receiving milk from Robert E.
keHode. who conducts dairy farm at
Gaithersburg Nd, who had permit to
ship milk to the District. Kenode's permit
was revoked by the health department be-
cause of the presence OF typhoid fever on
his farm. and Gregg was so notified of the
action taken by the department but was
permitted to use a shipment OF milk which
had come the day the notice was received
by him. About a month later, 1t developed
from the evidence, Gregg received word
from Kenode that as all danger of infec-
ton had passed he had been advised by his
physician that he might safely resume his
shipments to this city, which he did
Upon the testimony presented Judge KIM
Dali ruled that the fault lay with the shin
per and not with Gregg and accordingly
instructed the jury to return a verdict of
not guilty.
Kenode, who was in court several DAYS
ago, as mentioned In The Star at the time
entered plea of guilty to a similar charge
and paid fine of $50 which was imposed.

WRECK BLOCKS TRAVEL.
Cars Jump Track Within City Near
the Ionp Bridge


The heavy grade of the railway tracks
from the north end of the Long bridge to
9th street southwest and the breaking of
a coupling We're responsible for an acct
dent to a freight train of the Washington
Southern railway early this morning, which
blocked travel for several hours and dam
aged considerable railway property. No
one was hurt.
The cars of a freight train which had
just come in from the south were being
shifted about at the freight yard at 9th
street and Maryland avenue southwest about
z O'Clock. At the top of the grade the
coupling holding the four rear cars broke,
and down the grade they went at a rapid
speed They kept the track all right until
the curve In the track to the bridge at the
foot Of 14th street was reached. There the
leading car, heavy box car, jumped from
its trucks and fell on the track and the
other cars struck it, reared I'm the afr like
baking horses and rolled to one side, ieav-
ton as to completely block the Washing
ton, Alexandria and Mt. Vernon railway
and the south-bound track of the steam
railway.
A wreeI1ing train was promptly on the
ground, but nothing could be done to clean
up the wreck until two gondofa cars, laden
with coal, were unloaded. The wreck was
then cleared away, but 1t was long after
noon petore trdVei was resuineu. All tour
of the cars in the wreck were badly dam
aged, three of them leaving their trucks
entirely. While the road was blocked pas
sengers to and from Alexandria had to
walk across the Long bridge, the electric
railway trains from Alexandria stopping at
Jackson City, and from the station at 1874
street and Pennsylvania avenue, at the foot
of 14th street. The north-bound track Of
the steam road was open, and all trains
entering and leaving the city had to use
it, This caused some little delay, but the
steam roads were not entirely tied up.

PERFoRAr1vE APPENDICITIS.
Poisonous Contents of the Appendix
Enter Abdomen.

Enter Abdomen.
From the NV York Herald.
The death of Mr.. w. C. whitney as the
result of an acute attack of appendicitis
is a striking illustration of the extreme IA
tally of one form of the affection. Not
withstanding the prompt and skilIful treat
ment he received, the fatal issue was appar-
emily inevitable from the beginning. Imme-
date operation was the last and only hope
when 1t became evident that what Is called
perforative appendicitis existed. The rup-
and viruient form of Inflammation of the
part, and the poisonous contents of the hoi-
low, wormiike organ are then discharged
directly into the abdominal cavity.
There is no time nor disposition for the
formation OF an abscess by protective ad-
hesions. and the septic material becomes
more or less widely distributed over the
there Is a bare chance that the effusion may
remain localized and secondary adhesions
may wall 1t within bounds but no Risks are
taken in determining the urgent necessity
for radical surgical measures Often septic
infection takes place before the most prompt
operation is possible. thus defying the
greatest skill of the surgeon.
Whether or not this condition obtained in
the case in question the medical gentlemen
in immediate attendance are the only ones
competent of forming an opinion. At any
venture, 1t became apparent to the surgeon
and his confreres that in spite OF their best
efforts the Situation was an exceedingly
grave one and that recovery must be little
short of miracle. Thus there was little
else left than resignation to the inevitable.
Death under such circumstances usually
occurs from cardiac paralysis caused by the
overwhelming influence, of the systematic
poisoning. Evidently the administration OF
ether for the purpose of examining the
painful operative wound and making sure
of It's aseptic condition was a perfectly war
rantable measure and in no sense contribut-
ed to the progressive collapse. On the con-
trary, ether is the safest OF all anaesthetics,
and when carefully used has a direct stirnu-
latinU rather than n depraSeiur affacf
