Likely Sources of Infection.


1t was stated that some of the likely
sources of infection are dairy farms in the
Shenandoah valley. where probably one o,
the worst epidemics of typhoid in the his
tory of the country reigned during the
civil war. and which, according to the
medical authorities. has not been fully
stamped out in all the years which have
since passed. From the valley both Bal
timore and Washington obtain large
supply of their dairy products.
The resolutions re.Ltive to the stream
above X street and the old cesspOols and
sewers were brought about by the asser-
tion of one of two OF the physicians. who
said such places may now be dangerous
source of infection because matter from
typhoid patients now in that section OF
Georgetown reaching the stream. which is
used as an open sewer. and prOpa eating in
the cesspools and sewers. The resolutions
were introduced respectively by 4. X.
Paris and DIR. Wood.

typhoid

Physicians Give Explanations.

The physicians made explanation of
the nature of the typhoid germ. its incu-
baton and maturity. it's life. the effect
of heat and cold on it. sterilization and
antiseptcs. They were unanimous in
their opinion that the principal source
of conta gion is milk. cream and ice cream
products in which the typhoid bacteria
f1Ourishes extensively.
The daiiywoman living in Maryland
close to the District line whose permit
to sell milk and cream in the city was
revoked last Saturday by Health Officer
Woodward came in for part of the dis
cussion. The medical men present told
the aSsociat ion that the theory of infec-
ton from that place because the woman
in question had been i'll of typhoid fever
eighteen years ago was probably correct.
a number of cases have been cited to
show an adult. although not suffering di-
rectly from typhoid fever, after one at
tack is permanent breeding place for the
bacteria and as a result infection is spread
broadcast wherever the person so infected
comes in contact with food.

Protests Against Saloons.

Mr.. Brown also reported progress in
the matter of jewellers in apartment
houses not having the right to sign pro-
tests to the excise board affecting saloons.
The committee further set forth that
the Commissioners are in favor of re-
paving Wisconsin avenue from NJ to p
street. and L street from Wisconsin ave
nue. to 18th street. The work has not
been pushed because of lack of funds. A
recommendation for an appropriation. 1t
was reported. will be included in the Dis
trict budget of the coming year.
1t was announced that the proposed
treatment of Rock Greek valley will be
discussed at the next meeting of the as
sociation.

PSYCHOLOGISTS STILL PUZ-
FLED BY FIRE ORDEALS.

One of the Boston members Of the
Psychical Research Society is reported
as saying that this Mr.. Foskett, who
can nonchalantly wash his hands in
burning alcohol, is possessed of 4
power well known in the Orient" In
connection with this. it viii be recalled
that certain plain sleight-of- men
have more than once offered to repeat
any act performed by a Woodworking
Oriental. But their achievements were
not of a nature to attract the atten-
ton of the psychologists. The presti-
digitateurs could explain how they did
things-if they cared to.
Aside from its psychicaI research
features, the performance given by Mr..
Foskett IS worth studying as pos
sibIe illustration Of some power which,
exercised in critical moments, can help
men to endure ordeals. In our modern
courts of Justice the accused is assum-
ed to b, innocent until proved to be
guilty; at least, that is the theory,
though the practice of the third de-
gree hardly corresponds with it. But
in ancient times the burden of proof
was oftener thrown upon the accused.
The ordeal of fire and of water was
common enough until after the middle
ages. The Puritans brought it down
to even q later day. Primitive meth
DDS traceable back to the semi-barbaric
ages have played their part in Ameri
can history.
In the old days Mr.. Foskett might
have got into serious trouble by toy
ing with fire. Now he simply makes
the psychologists happy

DECLINES TO NAME
CANAL BONDHOLDERS
Panama Official Says Few of Sc
cuTitieS Were Held in
America.

PARIS, Dec. 4.-In view OF a possible
investigation by Congress in the United
states into the Panama canal purchase
VI. lie Marques. the receiver OF the old
company. who hitherto has declined to
talk, made the following statement
today
while 7 do not desire 70 go into de-
tails or participate in the polemic now
raging in America. ] do not hesitate, IN
speaking from personal know ledge, to
brand the story of the existence Of an
American syndicate. TO which the pUr-
chase money is supposed eventually TO
have gone, as a fable invented out Of
whole cloth As an OFFICER appointed by
the court. it would be improper for me
to say more Both tradition and praC-
tice make IL impossible for me 10 dis
close the list Of Individual bOndholders
to whom the money was distributed"
Should an official investigation be or
dered in the United States, NJ le
Marques explained that il would rest
with the court TO decide what informa-
ton could be legally furnished
Another authority asserts that the
American interest In the canal was
comparatively insignificant, being con-
fined practically to a single New York
banker, whose holdings long autedated
the prc+ect Of the American purchase
He estimated the amount that went to
America as we'll below $4,000.

HOW ONE-MAN-RUIF HAS
WORKED IN PITTSBURG.

1t is good sign when a city begins
to go after its rogues by the whole
sale. There is reason to believe that
its fighting blood is up and that 1t
means to clean house in a thorough
way. Pittsbmg is the latest large city
with a graft scandal on its hands, and
it is worth noting that the President
is reported to be back of the exposure
and the arrests of the men under sus-
picion- In the course of a bank IN
vestigation by a national bank OK
aminer the discovery was made that
money had been paid to councilmen by
bank officers. The President is said
to have turned the report over to the
mayor Of Pittsburg and to have urged
the prosecution of the guilty men.
Pittsburg has an old-fashioned coun-
ella city government modelled on the
State and National Government, in
which there Is a wide division of au-
thority and responsibility in spite of
"one-man rule" This Is the frameSof
city government that best suits the
dishonest councilman. II breeds a class
of clever rogues. a revelation like
that in Pittsburg," it Is, according 10
the Baltimore News. which is bringing
about a universal demand for elimina-
ton of the city council altogether and
as near an approach as possible to
commission form of government"
One-Party government has given
Pennsylvania a powerful political ma
chine in which some very disreputable
characters have risen TO the front rank
who have given tone to the politics of
the State. What can be expected of
local political machine when it sees a
Quay at the head Of the State ma
chine, and when it has the best of evi-
dence by disclosures OF graft in the
building of the capitol and by various
developments in Philadelphia and
other cities that everybody seems to be
getting "his?" And yet, if this is not
"one-man rule" IN Pennsylvania, as
well as in Pittsburg, what is It?

AN UNHAPPY EXPI AVIATION
BY 1.-THE PEERLESS"

Said Mr.. Bryan last Tuesday lac
cording to the dispatches):
-Mr. Taft has been elected through
a combination Ct the financial. COM
mercial, and industrial interests of
the country. / would rather remain
a private citizen than be a President
and be SubServient to those interests
as Mr.. Taft must be under the con-
diions that elected him"
To what other interests could a
President be subservientH What other
interests could President represent ?
Assuming that Mr.. Bryan did not mean
It was stock on store shelves, securities
in bank, looms in factories, but that he
meant rather the merchants, bankers.
and manufacturers behind that eouip-
ment, who else is there to elect Presi-
dentl
Evidently Mr.. Bryan meant to indi-
cate that he was the choice Of the
farmers, and that the farmers were
swamped by the non -agriculturalist
voters. The returns from Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Iowa, and Chic would not indi-
cate as much. If they did, they would
not then sustain this arbitrary and
Populistic division of ouTPopulation
The farmer is not outside the class
