IN NEED OF GUARDIANS.
swindling of Soldiers Mustered Out at
San Francisco.

Tho feature of the annual report or MAY
cen Arthur Macarthur, commanding the
DEPARTMENT of California. is the strong
language used in reference to the treat
ment in San Francisco of the soldiers re-
turning from the Philippines and mustered
out there. He says the greatest matter OIL
concern which occupies the attention OF
the department is to get the soldiers re-
turning from the Philippines into pos
session of their money due ON their final
payments and safely out of the city be-
fore they can be swindled. The ingenuity
of the criminal classes of San Francisco
and the simplicity and apparent inability
of the soldiers to protect themselves are
alike amazing. Everything has been done
in the premises that is possible in behalf
of the soldiers interests Quoting from
Col. Markley, the chief paymaster, on this
subject, Gen Macarthur writes:
THE stupidity and imbecility of these
short term men coming from the Phil
lpp1nes is almost unbelievable Young
Americans, amply able to take care of
themselves anywhere, under any circ,lm-
stances, while in service abroad seem to
take leave of their senses when thew ar

Senators to Play Two Games With
Boston Champions.

The Senators are in the throes Of
double-header today at Boston with the
champions, and just soon as the games

double-header tomorrow, and large crowd

contest Long Tom" Hughes will prob
ably pitch the first game, and as the big
fellow has done good work on the local
grounds he may be able to get revenge for
the severe drubbing he got yesterday morn
ing in the city of culture. The Bostons
have at last struck their true gait, and as
they shot to the front yesterday they will
be hard to dsplace. All the old favorites-
'Buckarene" Freeman, Charley Farrell,
Billy Dinneen. Chick" Stahl and the prince
of good fellows, Jimmy Collins-are now
working with renewed energy to land the
cup. and the local fans" will be given

Meet Today at the Coliseum Park
Draws Big Crowd.

Colored help was scarce in the nation s
capital yesterday afternoon, nearly every
one of African descent who could raise the
price vending his or her way eastward to
Coliseum Park. The spectators were from
all portions of the city. Some walked
some rode in ash wagons some on drays,
some on street cars and others like we'll

Although a scientific sparring contest be-
tween Billy Peyton, the wellknown local
colored pugiliSt, and Black Alexis of Louis
iana-who incidentally fell off a car and
failed to materalize, Jim Janney of Balti-
more being substituted-was featured as
the event of the meet contest in which
an enterprising local merchant donated a

base ball game was played between the
Stonewalls and Park Temple mines, which
was won by the Stonewalls by the score of

battery, it is said, but the other nine won
principally through errors of the fielders.
At the conclusion of the athletic events
last evening, the survivors tripped the
light fantastic, winding up with grand
cake walk, in which 4 watermelon and d

Dowie Favors Mixed Marriages

dispatch from Chicago says: What
Zion wants is intermarriage of all people,"
said John Alexander Dowie in his address
at Zion City Sunday.
Elijah III was condemning strongly the
St. Louis people for their treatment of
negroes at the worlds fair when he made
this statement that the color line should not
be drawn even in marriage. DR.. Dowie has
previously limited at his views of inter-
marriage, but was never so positive in his
assertions against the drawing of the color
line in marriage as today.
IF one God hath created us are we not
all of the race of Adam instead of being
whites, blacks, or people Of other colors? 2"
he asked. There should be no racial dis
tinction. What we want is to go back to
primitive man.
In closing his remarks on the race prob
lem, Dowie predicted that the blacks in the
south would soon predominant unless the
abuse OF the colored people ceased.

A NATIONS STRENGTH.
Discourse by Rev. Wallace Hatch at
Church of Our Father

Kew. Wallace Hatch, who preached Sun
day at the Church of Our Father Uni-
VersaiisD spoke of government and pros
per1ty and growth, and among other things
said:
We cannot rightfully Judge nation by
its present prosperity If that is the stand
ard our judgn ent will be false Material
prosperity may be written upon every phase
of national life, and yet the seeds of de-
struction and dissolution may be working
with awful rapidly.
That which gives to a nation it's per-
rlanent strength is it's belief In and depend
ence upon high ideals. Has it a vision of
its destiny? Does it listen to and obey it's
prophets who urge forward the plans of a
better tomorrow? Is il ready to give ear
to the peadings of national conscience? Or
Is 1t content 10 plod along, to rest upon it's
1aoluons and laurels, to glcat in it's wealth
until Ideals are forgotten or dispsed?"
The speaker then referred to Rome and
Ireece, ara after commenting upon each of
these. said:
Iurn the glance to this nation in which
we are most interested See our forefathers
coming to bleak and uninvitine shores that
they might find and give to others freedom
OF speech and freedom of opportunity See
THIS lnfant among world powers with it's
expanding hopes, purposes and ideals. push
ing ever westward and ever inward en-
larging its sphere of activity and its spbere
OF thought, taking to itself and assmilat-
ing with ease the lifeblood of alien peoples,
enrio hing, identifying and actually improv-
ing by its varied activities all nations on
the earth; pouring It's wealth into school
houses, colleges libraries churches and
pbilanthropic institutions: teaching the
youth OF every land. creed and color; sup
porting the broadcast, most liberal and most
democratic government upt5n earth. Amer
lea with her vision and ideals has been and
is unassailabe. We have nothing to fear
from this internal expansion. we have only
to hope that t may, as 1t can, continue
forever. -
But we have growing up about us diff
ferent America; an America of material
wealth. an America of financial barons, an
America of ignorant demaeogues,, an Amer
lea of self-satisfied and completely educated
educators. and America of irraligious relg-
ionists. Our ideals and our possibilities of
growth are suffering-are In fact greatly en-
dangered. There are OUTSIDE foes who wish
6 harm, who would should opportunity
present. leave no stone unturned to usurp
the position of prominence which has be-
come ours by right and by effort but our
welfare is endangered only by our own
habits and tastes We have nothing to
rear from the outside so long as the inside
is kept pure; we need give no thought to
external danger If we keep unspotted the
inheritance so dearly purchased by our
others. Pure America holds the keys to
future success. happiness higher purposes
and ideals: America the victim of her own
prosperity is doomed to decline failure and
disaster-to become a prey of her own de-
graded people.

Law Reporter Team outclassed Area

A base ball game la Jeffries and Mon
roe was pulled off yesterday between the
Law Reporter Printing Company and Dis
trict Council of the Royal Arcanum at the
Kismet grounds, 14th and A streets north
east. The large crowd of spectators who
assembled to witness good ball game
were somewhat disappointed as it was
seen at a glance. that the Districts were
outclassed. At the end of the second in
ming the score stood 10 to l In favor of the
printers, and Manager Walker of the Dis
tricts, realizing the hopelessness of the sit
uation, threw up the sponge" and had the
game called. Burr and Krauss were in the
points for the Districts, while the Law Re
porters' old reliable battery, Wheatley and
Hoover, were doing business at the same
old stand. The Law Reporters are outside
of any league, but they have met and de-
feated nearly every one of the best uni
formed teams of the District. They will be
glad to hear from and hereby issue a chal-
lenge to any base ball club in the city the
game to be played any time and anywhere

USE NOT JUSTIFIED
DIR. WooDWARD's VIEWS OF COP
PER sULPHATE IN WATER.
Regarded as an Experiment Not Re.
CURED by Existing Conditions
Late Fever Cases.

From the result of investigations thus far
made by Health Officer Woodward, it is
not likely that copper sulphate will be used
in the reservoirs of the District as a pre-
ventive against typhoid fever germs. Dr..
Woodward has been engaged in the IN
'Vestigation under directions from Commits
sioner Mcfarland. with the idea of de-
termining whether it would be advisable to
thus treat the drinking water of Wash
ington, and has conferred within the past
few days with DR.. George Moore Of the
Agricultural Department. He has other
wise investigated and today made an in
formal report to Commissioner West as to
the result Of his inquiry into the matter.
DR.. Woodward states that he has not as
Yet found any evidence which would JUS
the District drinking water with copper
sulphate. The use of copper sulphate in
the reservoirs" says DR.. Woodward, lis
essentially experimental, and l do not be-
leve the present conditions in the District
necessitate such an experiment.
The health officer states that he does not
regard the present prevalence of typhoid
fever in Washington as epidemic, and
that he believes there is no occasion for
alarm. He does believe. however, that the
residents of the city should take the pre-
caution to thoroughly boil their drinking
water IN order to prevent a possible spread
Of the disease.
Since the first of this month the records or
the health Office show a decrease il the
number of cases Of typhoid fever. DIR.
Woodward is of the opinion that the use
OF boiled water by the citizens Is respOn-
sible to some extent for the decrease noted.
During the month of August each year. he
states the average number of cases of ty-
phOid fever is always the highest.
Increase in Fever.
The LIST day of September twenty-five
new cases of typhoid were reported to the
health department. The records show that
on the I'd there were four new cases report
ed; on the 3d. six cases; on the Attn, TOUR
cases; on the 9Th, five cases, and up to
noon today six new cases were reported.
During August twenty-five deaths from
typhoid fever were recorded out OF 20 cases
of the disease. Thirty-twO OF these cases
were reported as recovered, leaving ABOUT
40 cases still unaccounted for from last
months records.
DR.. George T. Moore of the Agricultural
Department is quoted in Phlladelphla
newspaper as saying he is perfectly wiilhs
to declare that the death rate OF any coin
munity from typhoid fever SO Tar as .lie
disease is caused by infected drinking
water may be wiped out by the sclehliiic
use of copper a germlcde. .,,
In view of the statement OF Dr' Woou-
ward that he does not believe present con
ditions Justify him in recommending the
,1se of copper sulphate in the reservoirs OF
the city it seems probable that the Noin.
,niSsioners will not order the treatment "
the city's drinking water with copper.
