DISSEMINATED BY RATS.
Facts Learned by Study of the Plague
in East India

Because or the existence of plague In
San Francisco, where officers OF the marine
hospital service are combating the disease
In co-operation with the state and city
boards of health, DIR. Wyman. surgeon
general of the service, has issued extracts
from the lectures of famous physicians be-
fore the Royal College of Physicians and
Surgeons in London. These physicians were
sent by the British government to study
plague In Bombay, Calcutta and elsewhere
in India and other portions of the world.
After years OF study the physicians were
unable to furnish definite evidence as to
the causes of the disease. 1t was clearly
established that rats disseminate the dis
ease but Just how they do it could not be
shown After the disease is imported 1t makes
Roadway just like any other contagious
disease through clothing. food and contact
of human beings. Rats. however, are the
principal agents in scattering the disease
Systematic meteorological examination at
various plague centers showed beyond
doubt that plague in rats in any given To-
cality preceded plague in man. In Cape
Town, South Africa, this Idea Is so fully &C
copied that whenever plague is discovered
In rats physicians at once begin treating
the house or locality thus infected.
DR. Ashburton Thompson a noted ply
stefan of England, after studying the dis
ease in Sydney, came to the conclusion that
rats are overrun with feas; that when
rat dies with the plague the feas leave
the rodent and go to human beings, trans
ferring the terrible disease. Examinations
have disclosed that rats affected with f1eas
easily transmit the disease to other rats.
The claim is also made that rats infected
with the disease come in contact with the
food of individuals and transmit the dis

CHARGE DISMISSED.
Young Woman Exonerated From
Charge of Law-Breaking.

Sixteen-year-o FlOrine Stephens re-
siding on X street southwest, appeared be-
for Judge DeLacy in the Juvenile Court
yesterday on the charge that while upon a
18th street in the southwest section of
the city she carried a revolver concealed.
When placed upon the stand, Policeman
Sweet of the harbor precinct said a
young man came into the station Friday
evening. shortly after 10 o'clock, and de-
clared that a young woman upon car
nearby was about to shoot a conductor
He went at once to the place and arrested
the young woman. She was brought into
the station and when searched a revolver
was found in a bag which she carried.
Several young men who were in the car
at the time were called before Judge De-
Lacy and they admitted they had informed
the police that the girl about to shoot
some one after she had apparently made
the threat in jesting' way.
When Judge DeLacy talked to her Florine
told straightforward story. declaring that
a friend of one of her sisters while calling
at the residence several days ago left the
revolver and that early last evening she
went downtown to return II to him. Not
finding him. she was returning to her
home when she spoke to several of the
young men. her acuuaintances, upon the
car. One of them. she understood, ran to
the station and told the police she was
carving the revolver
While giving her testimony the girl broke
down several times and sobbed aloud
Judge DeLacy was much impressed with
the manner of the young woman, and at
the close he declared that in carrying the
revolver downtown to return 1t to It's right
full owner she had shown no intent to
break the law. and that he would enter a
dismissal in the case. He was also of the
opinion that the announcement in morn
ing paper that she was accused of gun
play gave the matter publicity in a light
which was not merited by the testimony
before the court.

l. Mr.. Winchester has planned some fine
work for his choristers for the coming sea-
son. and In addition to the present per-
sonnet of trained singers several new and
important additions will be made. AS Is
well known. this choir was one of two in
the United States to receive the personal
commendation of the pope, and the letter
from his holiness. translated from the Ital
ian by Rev. Father Metcalf Is here pre-
scented to the public for the first time:

"Reverened Sir: The lofty zeal manifest

solng Information with the very greatest
pleasure, and sees therein proof of his con-
viction that. to parish priest who Is hard
working. and firmly resolved to carry out
the orders of the pope. no difficulty is in
surmountable. Wherefore his holiness ac-
cords you well-merited praise. and extollng

ASK FOR HALF HOLIDAY.
Request Presented to Commissioners
by c. L. U. Delegates,

r. j. Ryan, a plate printers delegate to
Central Labor Union. and H. T. LeClair
a delegate from 'the machinSts' union to
Central Labor Union. called upon Com
mlssioners West and Macfarland Friday
afternoon In an effort to secure the Satur-
day half holiday for the nlachinists en-
ployed by the District in the new Bryant
street pumping station. This is the second
time committee from the Central Labor
Union has conferred with the Commission
ers UPON this question. and upon each &C.
casion the committeeman have made very
emphatic their desire to have the half holi-
day extended to the machinists
AT the previous conference Commissioner
Morrow, who has supervision over the ma
chlnists at the pumping station, appeared
to disapprove granting the request, con-
tending that 1t would iniure the efficiency
or the working force at the pumping sta
ton. He stated that the force employed a
the station Is inadenuate and that 1t is i'm
portant the machinists should be on hand
constantly.
Commissioner West. on the other hand,
was apparently in favor of granting the
half holiday privilege to the machinists IL
1t could be done without resulting injuri-
ously to the work at the pumping station.
When the committee called upon him Fri
day he again showed his willingness to
extend this privilege. The committee con-
ferred with Commissioner Macfarland later
and he stated he was not familiar with
the subject, having been on his vacation
at the time 1t was first brought up, and
he would prefer to take the matter under
advisement with Commissioner Morrow be-
fore venturing an opinion.
1t IS said to be likely that the board Of
Commissioners will at the next board meet
Ing vote upon 1t and arrive at a definite
decision

District Commissioners to Recon-

One of the first things in the benefit Of
the District the Commissioners will do when
the next Congress convenes in December
will be to recommend the adoption of some
particular form of treatment for the pres
ervation of Rock Creek valley a public
park. Commissioner Macfarland has for
a long time been working for this public
park, and for seven years the Commission
ers have been pressing the matter before
Congress.
The last Congress granted the request of
the Commissioners for an appropriation of
5000 with which to collect data necessary
TO submit To the next Congress definite
recommendation as TO the best method of
preserving the great valley for the public
u park. For more than ten years two
plans have been under considerat ton, but
the Commissioners say this question will be
settled within the next two or three months.
and that they hope to have Congress act
faVorably.

That Is for Furniture, Etc, for New

The special committee appointed by the
Commissioners several months ago to est-
mate VI tie cost Of furnishing and equip
ing the new municipal building which the
District government anticipates moving into

months IN arriving at an accurate esti-
mate cost. and they consider their total
as very low when the size of the building
and the many offices in 1t are con-
sdered. They further contend that they
have resorted to the strictest economy in
making up their estimates They have for
gotten nothing in making Of the estimates
and have even accounted for such small
Items as hairbrushes, soap, brooms and
nails.

than sixty pages in length and they have
indexed every department with its furniture
and equipments. and under another index
have placed the furniture and equipments
according to their styles. The Commits
soners will go over the report, after which
bus for the furniture and equipments will
be asked. The Commissioners may make
some changes in the estimates. particularly
where they refer to their private offices and
the departments that come under the juris-
diction Of each Commissioner Accompany
ing the report and the estimates there is a
book made up by the committee and show
ing pictures in the form of half-tones of
the various articles of furniture and of GER
tain styles Of equipments.
According to the report there will be
400 chairs, rolltop desks. typewriter desks.
six-foot tables, easy chairs and typewriter
chairs; 1,GOO straight-back chairs. There
will be over 200 rugs, which will cost
$40, 500. The private Offices OF Conn., s.
sioner Morrow will be the most expensive
of the three Commissioners according to
the estimates. His oldces are figured at
81, SOC Commissioner Vests offices are

lands cheapest at 81 1881.
