HIS INDIAN RELICS.

gathered by one man in this state, If
not the country, is owned by "Uncle
Tommle" Cox at Lewlsport. Every
piece which he possesses was unearth-
ed by his own efforts and not a one
was bought Nearly all Of them were
found at a depth of from six to twelve
feet, over on Corn Island In Indiana,
opposite Lewisport. He mas, been TWEEN
ty-eight years getting together the col
lection, which now consists of 1, 200
pieces, embracing every known relic
of the noble savage with the single
exception of cooking pots, which he
has been unable to secure. "Uncle
Tommie' believes 1t to be the best

that is, where money was not used
IN their purchase. Twelve years ago
Mr.. Cox sold "a peices for sos to
Basye, the Rockport druggist. Mr..
Basye took the purchase to Italy,
where it took a 5000 premium. He
asks 1915 for the present collection

ADAS ISRAEL TO HAVE
NEW HOUSE OF PRAYER
Site Purchased at Sixth and I Streets,
Where Handsome Edifce Is to Be
Erected Shortly.

The congregation of Adas Israel,
whose modest house of worship stands
at the corner of Sixth and G streets,
having found the synagogue too small
for its steadily growing membership, has
bought the southwest corner Of Sixth
and I streets northwest, from George \.
Frasier, for the sum Of 81 500. The lot
fronts 70 feet on Sixth street and So feet
on I, and as soon as the plans can be
drawn and approved by the building
committee of the congregation, of which
Simon Oppenheimer IS the chairman, the
erection Of a new synagogue viii be be
gun.
The architect selected for making the
plans is Louis Levi. of Baltimore, the
reason given why Washington architects
were slighted in the making the choice
being that Mr.. Levi has designed sever
al syna gogues Of the particular charac-
ter desired by Adas Israel Congrega-
ton.
The present house of worship has
been sold to J. Gatti for S14 coo A Dam

were negotiated.

he has laboTed increasingly to this end,
all the more as during his ministratiOns

There was a slight increase in the
number of typhoid fever cases in the
last twenty-four hours.
Twelve new cases were reported from
noon yesterday TO noon today while in
the previous forty-eight hours there
were but eight cases,
Health Department officials do not re
gard this as altogether favorable. DR..
Woodward said today that it would not
be practicable to make any predictions
of the future at this time He said that
where there was a gradual decrease for
ten days or more as compared with q
similar number of days preceding, con-
ditions could be generally considered as
a dying out of the epidemic
Such is not the case. however. this
year. and the Health Department also
has before it the somewhat unique
record of the epidemic of last year. The
real outbreak did not occur until August
=, when typhoid fever seemed to in
wade every section of the city. Between
that time and July l, there had been
213 cases IN all. an average of about
four cases per day The high mark
was reached September 25. when the to-
tai number of cases from July number
ed sos or 295 cases in thirty-four days,
aVera gtng eight cases or more per day.
1t is not believed that the number OF
cases this year viii reach that mark.
In three weeks the use of filtered water
win begin 10 bear fruit, and by Septem-
her % u is confidently predicted the
average number of cases per day Will
not be above two or three.

Camp in Good Condition-Sixty
Children Enjoy Outing.

Commissioner Macfarland said this
morning that he wished some public
spirited citizen would give a light farm
wagon, or the money that will buy one,
for Camp Good VIII" the summer out
ing place for children In Rock Creek
Park. When ne visited the camp yester-
day he found that all the other most
pressing needs had been supplied. but
that the work was very much hampered
by the lack OF such wagon
The committee has a horse and it has
had the loan of a heavy wagon. which
Is practically all that horse can draw
The light wagon is needed not only for
the rest Of this camp season. but for
the care of the place and preparation of
the farm and garden for next season.
Sixty children were getting health and
strength and enjoyment at Camp Good

dred more could be accommodated with
the present tents if the committee had
moro money. Mr.. Macfarland was able
to tell the managers Yesterday that an

DRAGGED RIVER FOR BODY
AND FOUND A BICYCLE

About 10:36 o'clock last night the crew
of the police boat Vigilant was reused
from slumber to get up steam and drag
the river near the food gate at the
north end of the Long bridge in the
hope of finding the body of some person
who was supposed 10 have fallen or
jumped into the river
Although the river was dragged for
long time, the only tangible object
brought TO the surface was a bicycle.
When the machine was brought up il
only strengthened the belief that some
one had fallen into the river. but after
dragging for some time for the rider,
the police came to the conclusion that
the wheel had been stolen and thrown
into the river as the best means of
concealng It.
The hunt was started by Policeman
Hughes, of the Fourth precinct, who
heard a splash near the end of the
bridge. Thinking that some one had
fallen or jumped into the river, he call
ed for the police boat and drag nets.
