and each accommodates twelve patients.
The method of building around a circle
was used SO as to afford shelter when
storms came upon the camp. The children
could thus pass from one part to the other
without being subjected to the inclemency
of the weather at times when 1t was not
good for them.
Some of the children were SO far gone
that it was at one time thought their pres
ence would only hamper the experiment and
it was seriously thought that they should
be sent back to the city. Yet they SO far
improved that they eventually became
among the liveliest and healthiest of the
patients there, and finally permanently re-
covered. Many of them were unable to
walk when they came to us, but within
few months took part in the games and
were rapidly getting well. One girl of thir-
teen gained twenty-five pounds and was the
picture of health at the close Of the sea-
son.
Merely a Demonstration.
'It had never been the policy or inten-
ton of the New York association to main
tain a hospital, but merely to demonstrate
that the salt-air cure was the really cor
rect principle and to encourage Its estab-
lishment throughout the country. One of
the principal reasons why consumption gets
such a hold on the average victim is that
physicians have not yet been taught to rec
ogniZe 1t at its earliest stage. When they
have been educated to recognize 1t when 1t
first makes its appearance 1t will be found

appropriating $4,000 for the first work.
I'VE built the hospital and installed forty

propriated. and the work Is progressing.
The attention of the delegates to the con-
ventien now in session in Washington will
be called to the work we have been doing
there. and 1t is our hope that the result will
be the establishment of more such hospitals
in many sections of the country where the
salt air may be had. Our seaside hospital
is largely experimental In that 1t is as yet
small but we are hoping to constantly en-
large its scope.

was truly pathetic group of children that
came to us on that day. Some were SO
weak and emaciated that it was necessary
to send an adult for each child, yet after a
stay of three months there it would be safe
to say that 1t would be difficult to select

Ward, jr., of New York would find the OPP
portunity to address them on the subject
OF the open-air treatment Of this disease.
Mr.. Ward was, however, prevented from
doing So business engagements in New
York calling him to that city this morning.
Tt a representative of The Star, before
leaving the city, he outlined the work that
has been done by the New York Associa
ton for the Improvement of the Condition
OF the Poor, and gave the results of his
study of the European methods Of treat
ment of tuberculosis at the seashore.
Mr. Ward is prominent member of the
New York association and has been Tor
many years prominently identified with the
work of caring for the children of the
crowded tenement districts of the metropo-
lis. Through his effort and that of his as
sociates a hospital has been erected at
Coney Island, where children under sixteen
years of age are treated for tuberculosis in
all forms save pulmonary. The treatment
is termed 1.-The salt-air treatment for tu-
berculosis of the bones and glands and
has been so satisfactory that 1t is the hope
of the association that more Of these open
air hospitals will be erected throughout the
country. At present, as far as can be
learned. the one at Coney Island Is the only
one of it's kind in America but the treat
ment has been In vogue in France for a
number of years.

HEARING GRANTED.
Protest Filed by Citizens Against
Erection of a Stable.

The Commissioners today granted a
hearing to committee from the North
Capitol and lexington Citizens Associa-
ton, at which the committee protested
against the erection of a stable and wagon
shed by the Blue Line Transfer Company
at Sd and r streets northeast. Mr.. w. G.
Henderson, president Of the association.
and Mr. A. r. Server made arguments
against permitting the construction, and
Mr.. ]. F. Legge terminal agent for the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, defended the
right of the Blue Line company to erect
the buildings. The Commissioners are ap-
parently bound by regulations, and 1t is
regarded as doubtful If the construction
will be interfered with.
The Commissioners did not give a decision
In the matter, but promised to give it their
consideration. Those present representing
the citizens association were w. G. Hen
derson, A. r. Server, Scion Kemon, w. H.
Chase, G. Lippard. George C. Stormont and

NO OBJECTIONS MADE.
Notifications May Be Adopted in
Plans of Anacostia Bridge.

On the recommendation Of Gen. Macken-
zie. chief Of engineers. the Secretary of War
has informed the District Commissioners
that there is no objection to the proposed
notifications of the approved plans of the
bridge to be built across the Anacostia
river near the Washington navy yard. The
notifications proposed simply involve the
lowering of the grade line of the structure
a maximum of one foot and do not make
any change In the details of the original
plans as to the location of the bridge, the
draw or the amount OF clearance.
The Commissioners explained that the
change In the matter of the grade was made
necessary in order to bring the cost of the
bridge Within the limits of the appropria-
ton. All the bids received by the Commits
siouers on the LIST instant for the construc-
ton of the bridge were in excess Of the APP
