In accord with A recommendation
made by Engineer Commissioner Biddle
the District Commissioners yesterday
decided TO reject the bids for school
sites located in Southeast Washington,
Anacostia, Brightwood Park, and Dean

Commissioner Biddle was prompted TO
take an adverse stand as to the four
sites in question because he regarded
the prices asked as being far too high.
He proposed 10 his colleagues that the
land for the sites be purchased in open

that lie is satisfied that considerable

chase the land and 10 erect four new

cate that the tick is at the bottom OF
the trouble. The fatality Of the disease
being so great, the danger was such as
to prevent experiments with human
subjects. so the tests were made With
guinea pigs. One male and three female
ticks were placed on a guinea pig suf-
fering from spotted fever and allowed

Nine days after removal from the first
guinea pig the three female ticks were
placed on a healthy pig, which killed
one. and two remained until they
dropped of after five days. Two days
later the animal began 70 show symp-
toms Of the disease and finally died.
With blood taken from this victim an
other pig was inoculated. and the last
