PERHAM SENDS AFFIDAvITs.
Alleged Attempt of Railroad t.
Intimidate Employees.

Acting Attorney General Russell Of the
Department of Justice has received from
President Perham of the telegraphers
union. a number of afildavits bearing upon
the alleged efforts of the Louisville and
Nashville road to intimidate employees be-
longing to unions In violation of the law
on that subject, published few days ago
in The Star. This law profits railroad
from threatening to discharge employee
because of his membership in a labor union
from trying to secure an agreement that
a man will not join union after entering
the employ of the road. Mr. Russell has
written letters to two or three United
States attorneys, in whose districts the al
legged violations have occurred. calling at
tention to the afffdavits and directing that
the facts be laid at once before grand
juries for action
1t Is said to be the purpose of the rail-
road authorities, in the event indictments
are brought against them, to test the law
on constitutional grounds

others. H. Rozier Dulany, trustee in bank

man. is also named as defendant.
The compliments state that with many
other creditors of Waggaman they held
notes secured on the celebrated List No.

rious properties in the District of an ag-
gregate value of s., 600 600. This List No.

claimed 1t was the duty of Waggaman to
keep intact as a special fund on which the
complainants we'll as the university and
other creditors of Waggaman might have
an equitable lien without priority, discrim-
nation or favor.
In disregard of his duty in this matter, It
is charged Waggaman allowed the attor-

alleged persuasion and threats of legal
prosecution, to select from the securities

BUILDING WAS WEAK
INSPECTOR AsHFoRD's VIEWS AS
TO COLLAPSED STRUCTURE.

cit was simply an intrinscally weak
buildlng-one of the class that are too
numerous in the District" Building In
spector Ashford said today in commenting
upon the accidental collapse of the
structure occupied by the Modern Drug
and Manufacturing Company, 7th street.
near d street, last Saturday. He added
that the building was erected more than
thirty years ago. when there was no build
ing Inspector in the District. and at time
when all construction work. both public
and private. was under the supervision only
of the board Of public works.
The collapsed building had only nine
inch walls" Mr.. Ashford explained. land
at one point. where some one had put in
soda fountain. the wall had been cut
away until 1t was only four inches in
thickness. This accident, however. impeis
to make another, and. II possible.
stronger appeal to the Commissioners that
determined effort be made to secure a law
requiring all local builders to be licensed.
l was not able to find any one In author
ity about the collapsed building Saturday,
and the contractor said to me that he did
not know whether he would continue on
the job or not If a builders license law
was an accomplished fact builder would
be compelled to complete any work he had
undertaken. no matter what later condi-
lions might arise"
AS 1t happened the district in which the
accident occurred had only a week before
been placed in charge of newly employed
deputy under Building Inspector Ashford.
and the new official, Inspector Barker, was
charged with the task of compelling strict
compliance with the building regulations.
Altogether Inspector Barker had about $50
buildings in his district to inspect, but Mr..
Ashford said that his assistant had made
severa! reports on the work at the 1th
street building. and that he had visited the
place even more frequently than was usual
In such cases Inspector Barker Is engaged
today in making a careful investigation of
all circumstances surrounding the accident,
and his report will be received by Mr..
Ashford tomorrow.

Boil Your Fruit.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
In the course of his recent lectures in
England on the Hygiene of the AIimentary
Canal Prof. Ellie Metschnikoff expressed
the opinion that the germs of many dis
eases are introduced into the circulation
through wounds made in the intestines by
intestinal worms and other entazoa intro
duced by eating uncooked fruit.
I'm appendicitis" he said, there Ia no
doubt of the Geological role of intestinal
worms which iniure the wall Of the bowels
and there inoculate microbes, causing an
fnfiammatory reaction: and the success that
frequently results from vermifugai treat
ment in persons suffering from that disease
has proved the importance of entozoa In
connection with It."
The germs of other diseases. as typhoid
tuberculosis. etc. are believed to be often
introduced thus through rents of the lining
membrane Of the stomach and intestines.
The preventive urged by Prof. Metschnikoff
is boiling of all water and fruits consumed
THE boiling" 1t is declared. should be
extended to vegetables: washing even with
boiled water Is insufficient and it is neces-
sary at least to scald them with boiling
water, or. better still. to boil them. Among
fruits. 1t is principally strawberries that in
troduce ova and infectious germs, and 1t
Is therefore necessary to boil them. Even
cherries, though growing on trees and far
away from the SOIL should be carefully
scalded or boiled. 1t Is wiser as rule to
eat fruits. SO far as possible, in the form OF
compotes or jams. Nobody could deny that
system based on such principles would
insurd the body against all sorts of diseases
of the digestive apparatus; 1t might even
assist US at the same time to avoid certain
maladies against which science today Is al
most entirely helpless"
Another precaution suggested by the
learned expert In hygiene is to modify the
fora of the aiimentary canal by acclima-
tizing useful microbes" such as the tactic
bacilli. which produce Tactic acid and pre-
vent the development of butyric and pu-
trefactive ferments Carefully selected lac
tic ferments. or Tactic microbes are COM
ing into use In treating many intestinal
troubles.

PLANNING FOR
TRADES DISPLAY
Proposition Submitted to the
Jobbers and Shippers.
WEEK BEGINNING OCTOBER 8
Advantages offered in Rosslyn for
Manufactures.
MESSAGES FROM BUSINESS MEN
Encouragement for Managers of
Greater Washington Boom-Com-
mittees to Meet This Afternoon.
Advantages offered in Rosslyn for
Manufactures.
MESSAGES FROM BUSINESS MEN
The Manufacturing Proposition.

There is. in my Judgment. no lack
OF proof that the present movement
for a Greater Washington will be sue
cessful. The city is aroused. and
there is a united public sentiment
back of the Jobbers and Shippers
Association In its efforts to improve
the local commercial status. That
nothing could ever be accomplished
without an aroused public sentiment
from the first was evident, hence
something has been accomplished.
That the movement has outgrown
the original limits set for 1t. Is also
evident. Organized for the one pur-
pose of exploiting the city's oppor-
tunities as wholesale mart. 1t Is
discovered that the demand for fac
tories is insistent and will not down.
This demand will. of course. have
TO be considered, and II is delicate
proposition. No person In their
senses would hardly want to plant
real factories In the heart of Wash
ington. but up the river and down the
river. particularly the latter. there
are factory sites in many respects I'M
excelled in the United States Fac
tories thus located would swell the
population OF Washington and give
the city an increased banking power,
two things. generally speaking, pre-
eminently desirable.
Just how far sentiment among the
Weather class of Washingtonians
would oppose manufacturing under
this head remains to be seen when
the proposition takes definite shape.

Negro Killed
in Act of Entering
Lady's Red Room.

Danville, Va, June 27.-An
unknown negro was shot and in
stantly killed at about midnight
last night while in the act of at
tempting entrance to the home
of Mr.. r. K. Morris. a detective
for the Southern Express Com
pany. The negro had raised a
window to a room occupied by
Mrs. Morris and her daughter,
aged about Is years, when dis
covered by Morris, who was in
the room directly above that of
his wife. Criminal assault is
thought to have been the motive
for the presence of the negro. -
Some hours after the killing a
negro giving his name as Monroe
Richardson was arrested on the
charge of being an accomplice of
the dead man. Morris was re-
leased without bail, and an in.
vestigation will take place to-
morrow.
