CEREBRO-SPINAL MENINGITIS
AND IT'S PROBABLE CAUSE
From the New york HeraId,

From the New York Herald.
II is evident enough from the differ
ert viows expressed by various medical
experts who have been interviewed by
the Herald that there us still much mys-
terry connected with the present spread
and alaming prevalence Of cercbro-
srinal meningitis in this and other
cities.
While the weight of medical authority
leans toward the non-cOutaglous or
directly infectious character Of the ail-
lment there are enough suspicious in an
opposite direction TO be on the safer
side OF guarding against all possible
chances OF propagation OF the poison
by direct or indirect personal contact
with the eiclS ones. Certain it Is that
ITS mode of spreading corresponds in
MANY respects with that of other in-
lfectious Diseases. Because the real
lmethod of its propagation is not posi-
lively known is at best but Mega
tive proof of its. vlrulenoy. Obviously,
the dlsease is progressing i'm spite OF
the various theories as to its real
cause.
1t is also true that the specific

continuous train of infectlvity can be
traced. The disease Jumps from one
place to another without amy connect

Crowded and unsanitary localities are

tho simultaneous occurrence over wide

MaII Reoelved At Eort Worth.


Fort Worth, Tex, April 10.-In a
suite Of rooms on the parlor floor Of
Hotel Worth, the executive seat OF the
United States government has been
temporarily established. Official mail.
intended for the eyes of President
Roosevelt, is directed to this apart
ment and, in the absence Of the presi-
dent, who is hunting coyotes and jack
rabbits over the Kiowa and Comanche
reservation in Oklahoma, such mail is
given attention by Secretary Loeb.
Most OF this business will be acted on
by the secretary and directed to vari-
GUS departments in Washington where
it originated. That which requires the
personal supervision Of the president
will have to wait until Thursday, for
it is not until then that communica-
tion will be had with the hunting
party.
Secretary Loeb expects to receive
word from the president to run the
special train to Frederick on Thurs
day. and on that day to start for West
ern Colorado where the president will
go to find larger game than abounds
on the Red river in Oklahoma.
According to present plans, the pub
lie part of the western trip is ended.
1t is not expected that any stops will
be made until the presidents train
reaches Colorado Springs. There a
stay Of two hours is necessary; but
the time is not for speech-making.

THREE saoI IN alor

While Arresting q Woman.

While Arresting a Woman.
Pittsburg. Pa, April 10.-Three men
were shot, one probably fatally, and
one woman was injured in a riot at
Schoenville. near McKees Rocks. The
rioting was the result of a clash be-
tween 10 detectives and about 1900
foreign residents of Schoenville.
The riot was the climax of a series
of smaller riots and fights which took
place in Schoenville during the last
two weeks. During the arrest of some
coal pickers last Friday by the Lake
Erie railroad detectives, Mrs. Agnes
Sadna interfered and CEASED a small
riot. The detectives, four in number,
were driven out OF the town by a mob
Of Hungarians and Poles.
The officials. knowing they would
have a battle, went in force to arrest
Mrs Sadna. She was found on the
street, and with her 4-year-old child
in her arms attempted TO fight the
posse. and called to her countrymen
for assistance. The officers, after TAX.
ing her into custody, were quickly sur
rounded by a large crowd Of men. who
used as weapons bricks, beer bottles,
clubs and stones, and the woman pris-
Oner was rescued.
The officers fired their revolvers in.
to the air This served to madden the
foreigners. and in a rush of more than
1000 men. women and children, armed
with every available weapon, the pO
lice and detectives were driven into a
vacant lot, where a stand was made. A
second rush was made by the mob
but II was soon stopped by the wound
ing of three men, and the posse was
allowed to get out of town without
further molestation.
